Gil's Elegant Catering

rt about Gil's is the amount of flexibility that they're willing to do - we were able to customize our menu to the smallest detail and Gil's was so happy to accommodate. We worked with Jackie and she was so great to work with!

We had some traffic issues so some guests arrived to dinner late and Jackie and her team handled it with no problems. We got compliments on the food and service!

er team were superb! Jackie made great recommendations about our food and drinks and was very accommodating when it came down to dietary options and restrictions. We were delighted that they also provided our bar service. After having our tasting (which was delicious), we decided to have a plated salad and three stations, including their famous avocado display. The food for our cocktail hour and reception was excellent! I can’t tell you how many guests came up to us to compliment both the food and the service. They are top notch!

cktail hour was one of the best they had ever been to, and no one ever had to wait in a line (our wedding had over 150 guests). I HIGHLY recommend going with Gil's for any event, (especially weddings!). Jackie took care of everything so seamlessly, and was so extremely helpful. She helped plan our layout and even our wedding timeline. Josh and I (and my dad) cannot thank you enough Jackie.

cisions! We had 3 action stations at our wedding and picked the mac n cheese bar, avocado bar, and carving station with salmon and sirloin. I had so many guests come up to me at the wedding and tell me how amazing the food was. Everything was so elegantly prepared and plated. Jackie helped me with the linen selection as well to make it a seamless process. Her staff is phenomenal to say the least, they make great drinks, help the guests, and do not miss a beat. We’re so lucky to have been able to with Gil's!

was be far the best. During our tasting and menu selection, and at the wedding, they made sure everyone had everything they needed. I have had many people tell me the food was the best they ever had at a wedding. They were so professional and made sure that all guest felt comfortable during this pandemic by passing each hors d'oeuvres on an individual plate and handing them out instead of guests reaching onto a trey, I can't imagine how many tiny plates they had to wash that night! Thank you to the Chef, Jacki, Alberto and your entire team for your excellence!

food options!

e so special and well done- we knew we were in good hands. She was so quick to respond to any questions via email, and the whole process really went smoothly. We did have a slight issue with a side item we'd chosen accidentally going to the wrong wedding, but the one we did receive by accident instead was still loved by our guests, so no one but us knew the difference! I'd use Jackie and her team again and definitely appreciate their level of service and the wonderful food they provided.

(brisket), pasta (2 different kinds), and a crab and latke one. Everyone loved the variety. It was fun to discuss my guests' favorites the next day.

d and avoid cross contamination - we really appreciate them respecting this. They did not hesitate when we asked a question, extremely responsive and helped us find ways to cut costs but not service or enjoyment of our guests. They sent us home with a cake tote which was a very nice touch. Their staff were very kind, smiling, and professional. You will not go wrong in having them as your catering service and I would definitely work with them again.

great, the service was over the top, and the late night bites were absolutely perfect. They were very professional and responsive. I cannot recommend them enough!

ur wedding planner found them to be so easy to work with and they helped the reception go off seamlessly. I very highly recommend them.

dding day! They are true professionals. All of guests were given food and drinks in a timely fashion and no detail was left undone—10/10 recommend!

cannot rave enough about how much I recommend them. An hour before the ceremony she brought in a beautiful charcuterie board to the brides suite for us. All in all, they were so perfect and I would recommend them- 10 stars if I could!

g, they can execute it! The actual tasting was so great and I have to say the food tasted the exact same way at the wedding as it did at the tasting. We got tons of compliments on the food and would highly recommend them!

fect. We received so many compliments about how delicious everything was after our event. We had a champagne tower and they made sure it was poured beautifully as well as made sure my siblings with food allergies had separate, non cross contaminated plates. They were spectacular. I could not have been happier with Gil's. I wish there were more stars to give. After our grand exit, they had prepared snacks for us in our getaway car. They put so much thought into every aspect of our day. I highly recommend Gil's to any soon-to-be married couples. Truly an extraordinary experience and pleasure working with their team.

lous. Delicious food, great display and great service! Brenda was my contact from the day I first requested information, and she was at our wedding making sure it was flawless. If my glass was empty, she was there filling it up. She even gave us a to-go box at the end of the night with some snacks, our wedding cake, and champagne to enjoy at our hotel afterwards! Everything was spot on and our guests raved about the food (and drinks) saying it was some of the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Overall, Gil's was one of the best vendors we picked for our wedding and I would highly recommend them!

Gil's was the best and I can't sing their praises enough!

think of a wedding I have been to, the food was either cold or dry, and Gil’s was the opposite of that. All the guests I spoke with afterward about the plates food said it was warm and perfect when it arrived at their tables. I would HIGHLY recommend Gil’s as a caterer for any wedding!

e the food all turned out great for our reception, the steak entree wasn’t exactly what we had ordered. We loved it anyway, but again, it wasn’t what we were expecting. We were also meant to have a late-night snack of breakfast tacos, but those were never served for some reason. As it was a complimentary part of the package, it was no-harm-no-foul, but still a little disappointing. Overall, the serving staff was wonderful and friendly, everything we had tasted great, and working with Brenda was awesome!

so!!

nd made great suggestions on layout, logistics and menu. Jackie made a point to accommodate all of our budgetary needs as well. We wanted to eat with our parents separately before entering the reception and we were so pleasantly surprised to see a fully set table in a private room for us to eat at and relax for a second after the ceremony. Truly remarkable food and service!! Look no further.

red a smooth operation and were so incredibly attentive to us all night. Our guests are still commenting on how good the food was. Pick Gil's!!

s (an additional one with the groom's parents) to make sure everything was just right. She was responsible to all my e-mails the menu turned out perfect. Service was wonderful! Our guests were really blown away! We chose stations, and our guests raved about it. They loved being able to try different types of food (we had both Indian and American food) and everything was equally delicious. I have no regrets about using Gil's for our wedding... would definitely choose the again if I had to.

r for me - and it was delicious! We did the Tex Mex menu, and I can't tell you how many compliments I received about how yummy the food was! Gil's was also very responsive to my emails, answered all of my questions, and were extremely nice and professional along the way. I will definitely be recommending Gil's to all future brides!

nale of our wedding, Gil's was absolutely top notch. Their food is phenomenal and very upscale. Our guests are still raving about the passed hors d'oeuvre and the melt in your mouth chicken piccata. Alberto and his team did the best job the day of the wedding. He always made sure my groom and I had what we needed food and drink wise. He was so attentive to our needs throughout the night. Look NO further, because Gil's is the caterer you need to use if you want the best food, drinks and service for your wedding!!

ly still hot! Brenda was so great to work with, made sure no detail went unnoticed, and was very clear about the whole process! She made the whole planning process a breeze! The night of the wedding, they also had a little to-go box for us with snacks, our cake, and champagne! The team for our wedding was so awesome and we could not be more pleased with our experience!

and his staff ensured that my husband and I had everything we needed. They served us our food, made sure we had seconds, AND even brought us drinks. They checked on us multiple times and allowed us to forget about having to deal with the food and spent more time connecting with friends and family. At the end of the night he even brought us a lunch box of goodies to munch on throughout the night as we left the venue. Definitely the best catering experience I've had and would whole heartedly recommend again, again, and AGAIN!

so many fantastic choices. Day of, the food was delicious!! The Mac and Cheese bar was a huge hit with all of the guests and nobody left hungry. The staff was friendly, professional, and courteous. We just wish we had an excuse to get some more of their fantastic tomato pies!!

to work with all up to the day of my wedding and were so professional and "elegant". I would highly recommend them!

e roughly a month and a half to even get in contact with them about catering for our wedding. Starting early in January, after several phone calls, two messages, and two emails they only got back to us on February 14th. At this point, my fiancée and I both still really felt like the menu and service they were offering would have been perfect for our wedding, and so we were willing to overlook the issues getting in contact, assuming that it was probably because they were just very busy. We emailed them back promptly and received an email two days later assuring that they would have an estimate to us the next day. Four days later, no estimate; so we inquired politely, asking if there was any information they still needed. They got back to us the same day, they were just late with the estimate. We looked over everything, decided to make a few alterations and replied to them the very next day requesting the changes. They replied back that the changes would bring us too far below a minimum cost requirement for the season (something we never saw on their website and we were never informed of beforehand). We understood, and replied to them the same day that we still wanted their services, and wanted to make a few more changes so we could be within budget requirements. This was on February 22nd. Five days later, no reply. So, we emailed them again, politely asking if there was any more information they needed or anything we could do to help. A week after we emailed them again (now over a week and a half since their last reply), and still nothing. At this point, it's March 6th, we've been trying to figure things out with the caterer since early January, and not having the caterer pinned down is holding up other things we need to start planning . So, we called them, only to be told that another (larger) party had contacted them about the same date after they had already begun discussing our event, AFTER we had already been sent the estimate and AFTER we had asked for the changes to be made so we could be within their minimum cost and we could finalize. They had PURPOSEFULLY put off replying just so they could see how arrangements would pan out with a larger event for the same day. Inevitably, the larger party booked and payed their deposit. I would like to point out that we understand wanting to book a larger party; from a business standpoint it makes sense. HOWEVER, this larger party was given PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT, to the extent that we were cut-off from contact with the caterer, and made the back up plan just in case they couldn't book the better paying event. This would have been different if they had heard from the other party before they began contact with us on February 14th, or even if they had been in contact with them roughly at the same time, but this other party made contact WELL after we had been in arrangements with the caterer. Despite our best efforts, prompt replies and willingness to work with the caterer, it is obvious now that we were never their priority. Any contact we had over the phone seemed hurried and dismissive, and their inability to maintain reliable dialogue, as well as their incredibly rude and discourteous behavior in blowing us off at the last minute without any warning tells me that they don't know how to handle their customers.

d everything changed. Brenda is amazing and she was there every step of the way. Her menus and packages are super straightforward and there is no pressure at all. She did a great job explaining our options and giving her input. For example, we added salmon (based on Brenda's suggestion) for an extra $2 and it was a hit with all the guests. Gil's even threw in a free late night snack for all our guests for booking so early. Gil's won't disappoint. They go above and beyond, the food was phenomenal (many guests saying it was the best meal they ever had) and their service is top notch. And they are extremely budget friendly. Brenda and her team are the real deal.

se could only have about 3 bites. We were promised a take out bag with our food so we can enjoy it- but that did not happen. I would like to caution others about their staff. Jackie is very kind, but meet the person who is going to be at the venue making sure everything runs smoothly. Whoever was ours was not very kind and was disrespectful to our guests. The bartenders were the worst! For as much as we paid, I was very saddened at how uneducated and unkind they were. Double check and do your research (:

ting compliments on how AMAZING the food was and "who was your caterer?!" Jackie and her team went above and beyond for my husband and I with 5 star service and even made us a to go bag with cake and champagne. Being in the wedding industry myself, I knew I needed the best and that was Gil's. Thank you again so much for the amazing food!!!!

ruly ours. The food is out of this world! We did the stations and it was absolutely perfect. Almost every guest told me that our food was some of the best food, not just wedding food, that they had ever had. The service was outstanding! The event manager served me and my husband personally and made sure that we had every dish on our menu. They were great about packing up 3 different flavors of our cake in our to go bag. They also had a cheese and fruit plate ready for the wedding party as we waited for the ceremony to start. Gil's was worth every penny and made our wedding spectacular.

co stand. The tacos were my favorite but it was all great. They also had a late night snack of milk and cookies which everyone thought was adorable. I worked with Brenda and she was always very helpful! She made sure that they provided all the water and ice since our venue didn't have those items. I think it's hard to feed 200+ people but Gil's did a wonderful job. The one thing I would keep in mind is that we provided our own mixers for the alcohol- that really saved us a good amount of money, but other than that I thought Gil's prices were great.

s told us over and over how great the food was! Presentation was beautiful, service was great, drinks and food were all great. They did a great job working with us prior to the event and delivered with perfection. Thank you!

s how awesome the food was. They are a pleasure to work with and can do custom "his and her drinks" and work with you to make sure your wedding is memorable and special. They also were very accommodating and included additional premium brands we wanted to include in our open bar. They also were able to provide alternative options for our vegetarian guests. I highly recommend the team at Gil's Elegant Catering for your event or wedding!

ven better. I was one of the bride's scammed by Jim Lee Events (who offered incentives for bride's to pre-pay in total so that he could use the money to fund his business). Gil's stepped up and offered me discounts and help trying to come back from that $9,000 loss. I can't say enough great things about this caterer. I'll use them again for an even in the future.

d beyond for us. Gave us a discount because of the drama, created a menu for us that was very similar to what we were expecting and everyone raved about how amazing the food was. Highly recommended. Brenda was our catering manager and she did an amazing job.

at ideas for a late night snack and warm drink. The food was delicious and there was a large variety for people with all tastes. We made a great choice and I would definitely recommend them.

food they have ever had at a wedding. The food was fresh and tasted delicious. Gil's was on time and prepared. They also provided waiters and bartenders to serve our drinks. Everyone was friendly and great to work with. We would choose Gil's for ANY of our catering needs. We highly recommend them!!!
