Good Food catered our wedding in April. They provided amazing service/communication leading up to the event, and are super flexible with what food you're looking to serve. The food...
itself was delicious; we feel, and many of our guests have said as well, that this was the best food we've ever had at a wedding. We couldn't recommend them enough!
We are so happy we chose Good Food Catering for our wedding! The food was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We went with the buffet option and couldn’t be more thrilled with...
how it turned out—everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented.
Honestly, the appetizers might have been our favorite part! My husband and I actually got to try every single item, which is rare for a wedding day, and everything was so flavorful. The staff made sure we never missed a bite—their lead that day went above and beyond to take care of us. They brought food directly to us and even followed us around making sure we had whatever we needed. It was such a thoughtful touch that didn’t go unnoticed.
We also opted for the late night snack (highly recommend!) and it was a huge hit. People went crazy for the pizza—it was the perfect end-of-night treat and kept the energy going.
If you’re looking for a caterer that not only delivers incredible food but also top-tier service, look no further. Good Food Catering was everything we hoped for and more!
Good Food Catering was absolutely amazing from start to finish! They were incredibly accommodating, working with me every step of the way whenever I needed changes or adjustments. ...
Their flexibility and attention to detail made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
Now, let’s talk about the food—WOW! Every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was, and even five days later, people are still raving about it! The quality, freshness, and variety of the menu exceeded all expectations.
Beyond the incredible food, their team was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience. If you’re looking for a caterer who delivers outstanding service and unforgettable food, look no further than Good Food Catering. I highly recommend them and will absolutely be using them again in the future!
I cannot say enough good things about Brandi and the team at Good Food Events. Even in the face of Hurricane Helene, they did a fantastic job for my wedding. They were incredibly c...
ommunicative and flexible, which made planning a wedding out of state simpler. On the day of, they were timely and professional. My wedding venue was a backyard, and a member of the team saved the day when she saw a piece of my dress come undone and came over to fix it moments before I walked down the aisle. The only complaint that I have about my catering is that I didn't get to eat nearly enough of the delicious food myself.
Simply put this is the best food you can get for your event. We got married at Sunken Gardens January 2024 and the food was amazing multiple people commented how delicious everythi...
ng was. The apps were so so good and each entree was incredible. If you value good food at your wedding you need to book with Kevin and Good Foods.
Absolutely amazing food! We contracted Good Food to cater our wedding of 150 guests. We have a very tough crowd when it comes to food expectations and typically wedding food is ju...
st ok. We had so many guest coming up to us throughout the night and after the wedding commenting how delicious everything was. They were also very easy to work with and professional throughout the whole experience. I would highly recommend Good Food for any events.
Kevin and the team at Good Food were absolute rockstars for our wedding catering. The groom’s life-threatening allergy was taken extremely seriously, and while we worried that cate...
ring for such a large group and working with dietary restrictions could be a challenge, Good Food delivered with incredibly delicious, creative food that had us and our guests raving. Our catering was a total hit of the wedding, and we would recommend Good Food to anyone looking for standout food at their next event!
Our wedding planner had suggested we go with Good Food Catering and after a tasting appointment my husband and I knew it was a perfect fit for our wedding day.
From Charleston styl...
e shrimp and grits to a full mac and cheese bar with short rib offerings, our guests have not stopped talking about how good the food was. THIS IS NOT YOUR NORMAL WEDDING FOOD! By that I mean it's high quality and you can tell it was prepared with care and love. If I could have another wedding just to have this food again, it would be worth it.
My husband and I had Good Food cater our wedding on 02.26.22 at Cross Creek Ranch and we were so impressed! We wanted to make sure the food met our high standards and it surpassed ...
them. We had a wide selection of appetizers which included stuffed chorizo mushrooms, empanadas, and egg rolls. Our entrees included pork, chicken, and vegetarian options. Any dietary need we requested they were able to provide. Our contact, Stephanie, was able to answer any questions we had within 24 hours from when we would ask. We would definitely recommend Good Food to any Tampa Bay consumer.
Good Food catered our 190 person wedding and they did a fabulous job! The food was amazing (many guests complimented it) and the server was top notch! They served the food quickly ...
and efficiently. Highly recommend both the food and service!

ce. They make the whole planning process easy, are flexible in personalizing what you need, and left everyone talking about how great the food was.
Good Food Catering served our 108 wedding guests. The food and drinks were such a hit! Our main course was salmon AND filet with a side of risotto and broccolini. This was most ide...
al because we were able to cater to the varying food palettes of our guests rather than ask for preferences. We also had an oyster cart during cocktail hour that our guests raved about and still do! The signature cocktails and passed appetizers exceeded our expectations! The servers and bartenders were all very professional and dressed appropriately for the occasion. Good Foods allows you to include details that set your event apart from the rest. They say as long as you have good food and good beverages at your wedding, it will be successful- I want to thank Good Foods for playing a MAJOR part in making my wedding the fairytale it was.
Good Food Catering was by far the best vendor I worked with while planning my wedding. Stephanie was extremely responsive, flexible, and easy going. People could not stop talking a...
bout how great the food and service was for our wedding, they still talk about it weeks later. Good Food created exactly what I wanted for our wedding and their food is just delicious, literally everything they made was amazing. I would highly recommend hiring them for a wedding or any other event. They won’t disappoint
Good Food Catering was everything we could have wanted and more! My fiancé Joe and I got married on 3-1-2020 at the Acre in Orlando Florida. I myself am a wedding photographer and ...
I knew for certain that Good Food would be our caterer. I have had the pleasure of working with them for the past 7 years! Their food is insanely delicious and I love their one of a kind approach to menus. They truly execute your unique vision. When Joe and I were first dating we went to the Starlit Supper and Good Food had done the catering. Joe was blown away. We had a family style meal with a delicious artisanal salad, pork belly (his fav) on top of broccoli with mashed sweet potatoes, and their famous shrimp and grits. In the time before we got engaged we saw the launch of their oyster and champagne cart and indulged in their incredible nitro ice cream made right before your eyes! Joe had literally never forgotten that pork belly dish. Once the venue and date was secured Good Food was the first vendor we booked! Food and beverage was a priority for us and we knew exactly what we wanted. We asked for the same meal! Plus we had the champagne and oysters for our cocktail hour and the nitro ice cream for dessert. We were honestly SO excited to eat at our wedding! It was so good!! All of our guests gushed about how amazing everything was and how blown away they were with the oysters. They also handled our bar and made signature cocktails. They made sure to make the margaritas with my favorite Milagro Silver and fresh lime. The old fashioned were made perfectly and they even provided the fancy single large ice cubes! The details really mattered to us and we knew that they paid attention and care. If you are looking for a unique foodie experience for your wedding Good Food is your dream team. They were so lovely to work with at every stage. They listened and asked great questions. The day of was flawless and everyone was so cheerful. We cannot thank them enough!!!
The name Good Food describes this company perfectly—they have truly incredible food!! What stood out to us most at our tasting was that the food they prepared was way beyond typica...
l wedding food, it was truly restaurant quality. The cheesy grits are TO DIE FOR (yes, we did have guests who ordered extra bowls of this) and the service was impeccable. We did family style and I’m so glad we did! Courtney was super helpful leading up to everything. I highly recommend Good Food they are delicious!!
Unfortunately this company doesn't take constructive feedback during a tasting too kindly. The president felt the need to send an email stating "their style isn't the the perfect o...
ne for our needs"... Style can be so vague, would truly be a disappointment if it were based on a personal preference of working with people of color. Not sure what else it could be honestly... Certainly discussing the details of a proposal isn't outside of normal business practices... Too think they are on the list of approved caterers at the Tampa River Center...
Our entire experience working with Good Food Catering and Events was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We worked with Courtney and she was thorough, responsive, helpful, and...
knowledgeable. All of our questions were answered very quickly (usually the same day). The tasting was phenomenal and professional, and our food tasted even better on the day of our wedding. We heard so many comments from guests about how delicious everything was. All of the staff and servers were professional, the presentation was visually appealing, and everything was beautifully and seamlessly done. We provided our own alcohol with a "soft bar" from Good Food and this was perfect for us. I cannot say enough good things about our experience and you will not regret booking this company for your event. Thank you guys so much for your contribution to our perfect night!
We recently used Good Foods for our wedding at Armature Works and we couldn’t be happier! I can’t tell you how many times I have attended a wedding and the food was just blah. That...
was one thing I did not want for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were awesome to work with and very responsive! Kevin understood exactly what we wanted for our wedding and made our vision come to life. We went with a stations style menu, and it worked out perfectly! Courtney, the event manager who helped with our wedding, was great! The food was DELICIOUS!! We had so many guests compliment the food, especially the shrimp and grits, they are seriously to die for! Thank you Good Foods for helping make our big day so special and delicious!
This food is amazing. Our wedding was almost 1 month ago now and people are still raving about the food! Good Food has so many great food options, and the price is right!! We worke...
d with Courtney throughout our planning process and she was so attentive, professional, and fun to work with!! At our tasting we met the chef who was just as nice and soo talented. Good Food went out of their way to accommodate us after a venue change and we could not be more thankful to them for that. Even with traveling farther then originally planned they made it work perfectly and served some of the best food we have ever had. The quality of the food is top notch. My husband runs a restaurant and was very picky when choosing our caterer. They had us with the first bite of food we tried. If you want true good food and a memorable meal I would HIGHLY recommend Good Food Catering.
Good Food Events and Catering made our day! An absolute delight.
First they were incredibly easy and accommodating to work with. We had a destination wedding and never had a chan...
ce to do a taste test.. totally didn’t matter.. the food was INCREDIBLE. Like write home to your mother, knock your socks off, 4 Michelin stars good.
Then, they were so professional the day of. We requested they set up in the kitchen of our venue (we rented a mansion on the water) and they were able to flip this already beautiful kitchen into a work of complete art.
Finally, there was a miscommunication between my now husband and I around who would be picking up our dessert the day of (whoopsie!).. Courtney and the Chef jumped right in and took it upon themselves to call around to local bakeries to find donuts, then picked them up for us. I could have cried, they made my day so amazing.
Courtney was so sweet and cleaned up and packed everything up for us so we wouldn’t have to worry about a thing. She really was the easiest and most kind gal to work with. Thank you again, Courtney!!
Our upscale lounge reception was an absolute hit thanks to Good Food! Rather than doing a traditional plated dinner, we opted for a cool combination of stations and butler passed s...
ignature dishes - and what a hit that was with our guests! The party never stopped as Good Food chefs kept the yumminess constant and GFs amazing servers made sure no one was ever hungry! The creative dishes were tailored to our exact tastes, with a little something for everyone: the evening started out with a beautiful cheese and charcuterie station, followed by small plates of rum-runner bacon wrapped shrimp, tomato tartar, braised short ribs and white cheddar grits, smoked gouda mac n' cheese, southern fried chicken sliders (these were the universal favorite) and so much more! A chip and dip bar was also a huge hit, along with a coffee and tea station that kept our guests fueled for the dance floor! We even decided to do a grand finale dessert station instead of a cake and, again, it was an absolute winner with our guests! We thought our tasting with Good Food was out of this world, but the food that was served at our actual wedding blew even the tasting out of the water! Our guests still are talking about how amazing the food was - and how cool it was that it was always accessible; either by station or via a server - so the party kept going throughout the night! Good Food was prompt, professional and the servers and staff were beyond courteous. Amy, our GF contact, made the entire proposal, booking and planning process a breeze, and made sure our every need was met (and exceeded). The service, quality and presentation simply cannot be beat, and the creativity with which the dishes are prepared is in a class by itself. This is THE caterer for any discernible couple's wedding!
Best catering company around! We have not stopped hearing comments from our guests about how amazing our wedding food was. We couldn't be more thrilled with the quality of the serv...
ice as well. The staff was very professional and served everyone quickly. Amy, our event manager, made sure everything ran smoothly. She provided us with appetizers while we were taking photos outside and even brought some to our table too so we got plenty of food. We highly recommend the shrimp + grits shooters as they were definitely the winner of the evening.
My fiancé and I had a budget and an unusual request of foods for our wedding day (Southern foods and Puerto Rican foods). Kevin came up with an absolutely delicious menu that encom...
passed both while staying within our budget. The food was absolutely amazing too! Unfortunately, just 4 months before the wedding, our event site cancelled due to construction. Kevin went out of his way to find us a new reception site and even recommended ones that had caterers that came with the venue. He emailed me a list and said, "even if I am not your caterer I want you guys to have the best day possible". Great guy, amazing food, flexible service, and impeccable customer relations! You cannot beat Good Food for catering! I have recommended this company to everyone I know!
From the first interview phone call with Kevin, to meeting him in person for tasting, to the actual wedding day, we’ve been very impressed with his team and the food they produced....
Kevin spoke with us to learn about our food preference, then he put together several personalized menu options for us to choose from. We love that he helped us choose the dishes that reflected who we are.
The bride: I’ve heard stories where bride was too nervous or too busy on the wedding day to eat, I was not one of them. When Good Food Catering set out their food stations at the wedding venue, I made sure I got to eat the dishes we chose and they were all delicious. The Tuna Station was such a hit, our guests were still raving about it the next day!
My wedding planner recommended Good Food to me and my fiance and I were extremely impressed with the menu. We wanted to do stations so that there would be a wide variety of options...
, and we had an "around the world" theme to reflect our traveling careers.
My fiance and I had such a good time picking out the menu; there were so many fun options. Rachael was great at helping us narrow things down and find options that incorporated everything we wanted.
My mother and I were so impressed at the tasting-- I dislike most vegetables and they even made those taste terrific! We had thought about cutting the cheesecake martini station due to budget, but once we tasted them we knew they had to stay!
On the wedding day everyone couldn't stop raving about the food! We had passed appetizers (caprese skewers, chicken curry cones, and goats cheese flatbread) which all got snatched up immediately. We had a pasta station, southern food station (mac and cheese and the ribs were big hits), and an Asian station which guests went wild about.
We also used Good Food for the bar, and service was efficient and friendly. The catering manager even made two huge plates for my husband and I so that we could eat and sample everything without standing in line.
One of our goals for the wedding reception was to have amazing food; Good Food completely surpassed this! If you want unique food that puts a twist on delicious comfort food or exotic cuisine, this is the company for you! We loved it!
Kevin and Joanna are incredibly easy to work with and they made the process completely hassle free! Everyone raved about the delicious butler passed hors d'vours and wonderful mea...
l. The food was modern, classy and fun instead of stuffy and boring. Some of the fare included mini wild mushroom tarts and caprese salad skewered on a balsamic dressing filled pipette! Dinner was freshly made in their equipped on-site kitchen and efficiently served to my guests. At one point in the evening a guest spilled something on the floor and one of the staff members of Good Food Catering was there to immediately clean it up! Incredibly professional and stress-free, and I would recommend them to anyone!
"This is the best wedding food we have ever tasted" is what I constantly heard throughout the evening, and I must say, I agree!
Working with Rachael was a breeze. From the firs...
t time we had a tasting to my last minute additions, everything was executed flawlessly.
We had 3 passed appetizers: mini chicken tacos, mac n cheese lolipops and deviled crab bites. The variety and difference set the tone for what was to follow.
For dinner we decided to go with action stations, because I did not want it to be a stuffy event and I wanted to allow people to mix and mingle.
The 3 stations that we had were: grits and pulled pork, black beans and rice with mojo chicken and a fire and ice station which consisted of caprese stacks and bruschetta with torch blown cheese melted on top.
To end the evening we had a make your own smores bar, which was a great hit.
I would highly recommend them to anyone and if I ever get the pleasure of attending a wedding where they are the caterer I know that I am in for a treat!
We had them handle the food, linens, rentals, and bar for our wedding reception. Everything ran seamlessly and the food was fantastic! My guests are still raving about it. Very m...
odern, creative menu. I love how Kevin customizes his services to fit your needs and budget!
The food and service from Good Food Catering was amazing! From the start we knew we didn't want to do a sit down dinner. We had been to a few weddings that were cocktail style, and...
we knew that was more our speed.
After my first email exchange with Kevin, I knew he would be able to deliver exactly what we wanted. He has done many cocktail style events, so we know he could pull off delicious appetizers that left you feeling like you ate a meal. He easily accommodated anything we asked, and ensured we tried every dish that would be served at our wedding. The chicken and waffle bites were easily the biggest hit of the night, but the mini grilled cheese with tomato soup shooter and the shrimp and grits station were also raved about. Everything he served was a hit.
His service staff was also amazing and I had many people comment on how nice they were. He also provided linens and bar service, which made the whole process that much easier. He was very familiar with our venue, The Davis Islands Garden Club, and he provided much help to our coordinator, only ensuring a smooth night. He was great to work with and the quality of food and service was unbeatable. Thank you to Kevin and and his staff at Good Food for a fabulous wedding!
