Chef Jean and LaFronza were amazing! Their service and communication were excellent, and the food was so good. I highly recommend Gourmet Crepes Cafe & Catering for your wedding or any event!
Gourmet Crepes Cafe catered our wedding event at a small venue - the food was good, the staff was polite, and they were great at setting up and then cleaning up later. The few small issues that came up (missing a dish and a drink option) were quickly rectified, and we appreciated their flexibility to correct these things. Thanks for helping us have a great event.

CHEF JEAN
12.31.23 was the BEST day of our lives. Chef Jean, wife LaFronza and the catering team was beyond amazing in every way. They are professional, super warm and welcoming and have superior service and exquisite food quality. Our wedding venue was on a farm with NO water access, staging prep area or refrigeration. Most caterers I spoke to would not even give us a second look, but this company stated they could deliver food anywhere and never seemed to have any issues. The guests are still raving about how delicious the hors d’oeuvres and main course was. You cannot go wrong with the garlic Tuscan chicken and rosemary potatoes. Also, the price CANNOT be beat. We had over 200+ guests and found this company very affordable for the quality we were requesting. I absolutely LOVED everything about them. If you are looking for the BEST chef and catering service in Central Florida - look no further! You found them and I promise they are worth every penny. Thanks for dancing with me at the end Chef! It made our special day that much better! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Love, Amanda and Alex
Response from the Vendor on 01/08/2024
Thanks Amanda and Alex we were thrilled to work with you guys.
We enjoyed every bite of it.
Sure, it was not an easy wedding to do in a farm with nothing but that's what we do.
We go above & beyond for your clients.
Thank you both.
Everything about this Catering Company was excellent! LaFronza and Chef Sean are both very kind people. The food was delicious and the service terrific! They were very responsive from day one and puntual on the wedding day. I definitely recommend them.

My team and i truly enjoyed working with you.
That s means a lot to us.
Thank you.
Special thanks to Gourmet Crepes for Curating such an amazing dining experience for our special day. My wife and I knew we made the right choice from the beginning at our food tasting before our wedding but the actual day far exceeded our expectations and what was discussed. We were blown away at the level of discipline and professionalism of the entire gourmet Crepes team. Chef Jeans attention to detail on every plate was impeccable. It’s clear he is very passionate about what he does. From the great food to the great service to our guest the team came through for us. Our special day at the Crystal Ballroom will be forever talked about because of the flavorful dishes our guest had to choose from. I will definitely be using Gourmet Crepes for our future celebrations. I know I can trust this team with all my important moments.

Thank a lot.
Thank you so much for helping to make our daughters wedding special! We appreciated you meeting with us on such short notice and had so much fun just eating and chatting with you during our tasting - it felt like having dinner with family. You were easy to work with throughout the whole process! The food was fantastic - We had Latin cuisine and received so many compliments from our family and friends! Highly recommend the skirt steak with chimichurri , Mojo chicken and ceviche!!

Hello Rhonda thanks for your kind words.
we were happy to work with you and make your daughter wedding a big success.
Thank you.
Our wedding took place June 3, 2023 at the 650 Venue in Winter Heaven.
My husband and i hired Gourmet Crepes Cafe & Catering for the wedding.
First we did a food tasting at their new place. The food was incredible,tasty and flavorful. We knew at that time we are going with them. They treat you like Family and very welcoming.
For the wedding everything was fantastic.
The Appetizers were on point and came out very quickly. We had 150 guests at the wedding.
We decided to have the food plated so we hired 12 of their staff members to do the job.
Wow the food came out very hot and quick and everyone was served less than 20 minutes.
The professionalism and quality of the food was top notch.
we are so grateful we found the best caterer for our wedding.
Chef Jean and Lafronza went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order.
We can't thank them enough for making our wedding day a big success.
Chef JEAN and Lafronza you are the Best.....

Response from the Vendor on 01/26/2023
Thank you so much for your kind words, Margaret it was a pleasure working with you.
If you have a wedding coming up, you have to hire GCC&C!
Jean and LaFronza are super professional, warm and incredibly helpful when it comes to thinking of all the details surrounding the food. My husband and I got lucky that they were our first tasting when looking for our wedding caterer; we tried their crab cakes, salmon cucumber rolls, NY strip steak with chimichurri, mahi mahi with coconut curry sauce, plantains and ratatouille.
Everything was absolutely perfect, both during our tasting back in 2021 and at our wedding this past weekend. The steak had a beautiful pink inside and an amazing grill charr on the outside. The coconut curry sauce permeated the mahi mahi and our veggie sides were incredibly fresh tasting.
I also have to mention we almost forgot to ask for a vegan, gluten free option for one of our guests but Jean and LaFronza were super accommodating with our request.
I can't say enough good things about the food, I am honestly amazed at how they were able to bring everything from Orlando to Indialantic and cook it to perfection. I wish we lived in Florida, but we will absolutely hire them again whenever we have another event there.
TLDR: 10/10, highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 01/26/2023
Thank you so much for your kind words. We really had a good time at your event. It was loving and intimate and we were so glad to be a part of that. Love was definitely in the air!
LaFronza
Chef Jean and LaFronza are AMAZING. They catered our wedding and bridal shower and made both days special and stress free. The thing that was most memorable and appreciated was the time Lafronza took to share some of her wedding wisdom, which proved invaluable. The entire staff was a pleasure to work with, very personable and professional. You can tell that LaFronza and Chef Jean enjoy what they do and they really care about making sure your event is perfect. This all in addition to the food!!! Soooo good. Everyone enjoyed their meals at both events. Thank you Gourmet Crepes Cafe & Catering.

Gourmet Crepes gave our guest an experience that exceeded all our expectations. His attention to detail gave us the freedom to focus on our special day and some of the moments we shared with our families. The best part of our reception hands down was the food. We were approached by several guest to give regards to the chef. So happy we made the choice to go with Gourmet Crepes Chef Jean is a true professional. He managed the entire event from beginning to end with extreme detail. From the fresh cooked food to his attentive staff he was on top of it and punctual. The entire experience was amaizing.

Thank you, Sharon it was a pleasure, working with you to make this wedding a big success.
We had a destination wedding in the Keys, and our reception back home with the rest of the family. Chef Jean's team provided the catering at the reception and did a lovely job. They were all very friendly, prompt, and accommodating to my elderly guests who needed to be served instead of going through the buffet line. Several of my guests complimented the food. The mushroom risotto was my favorite!
Chef Jean was amazing from start to finish, very easy process. so thankful he was able to accomodate my wedding as we gave him 2 weeks notice. The food was delicious and the service was superb. would 10/10 recommend Chef Jean thank you!
Chef Jean and LaFronza were a joy to work with. From the Tasting in 2019, a delay due to Covid, to the rescheduled event on April 3, 2021, communication was on track and very responsive. On the day of my daughters celebration, the team arrived on time were very efficient with set up, serving, breakdown, and not to mention the food was delicious. I would recommend them for any event large or small.
They were amazing!!!! I loved the food the service everything was amazing

Through the whole process (since COVID required me to change the date (due to mandated quarantine) Chef Jean worked with me and assured me that everything would go as planned. And it was better than I anticipated.
I in process of buying a new home and I hope to use his services again for a dinner party in the future. (So happy no job is too small for this amazing business) Looking forward to using him again and referring others to his business!

We liked the food alot but alot of our guests was complaining that the skirt steak with chimichurri sauce was still pink and my wife even had a portion of hers pink also, in the tasting it was well done but still juicy, other than that the rest was amazing.
Response from the Vendor on 01/25/2021
I am sorry that our food did not live up to all of your expectations. We strive to make our food to perfection everyday. Thank you for your honest review.

We had them cater our small wedding of 26 guests including us. Payments were simple to discuss and the food was so delicious as they made it hot and ready to go when it was tìme for the dinner part of reception to start. They were very understanding of our COVID concerns and assisted in making the food service buffet style so everyone would be served and were called upon a few at a time for safe social distancing as well. Overall it was a very personal experience starting from our plan to meet up for the tasting to the day of our wedding.
One thing I will say this chefs is the bomb lol I hired chef Jean to cook for my wedding reception .....the food was so delicious what I love the most is everything he cooked that day....my Griots was so delicious the service he provided was excellent and very professional affordable prices as well ... there’s no complaints about this guys if you want a good cook hired Chef Jean you won’t regret.#1 👩🍳

Chef Jean and his team are amazing! The food was excellent, very tasty and for a reasonable price, everyone from the team was very friendly, the prices are reasonable, the menu is very extensive and has a lot of roots from my childhood France. The team came with a truck that contains all they need to cook at the venue, so it was really good, convenient, and there was not much to be provided by the venue.
The two tastings (initial choice, and later finalization of the menu) were great experiences by themselves, like a restaurant with a personal chef and lots of great food. The hardest part was to pick the final menu for the wedding, as everything was so tasty!
I cannot recommend Chef Jean's team enough.
I wanted to say thank you for making my wedding absolutely beautiful. The price was amazing and his team was very professional. In the future I will definitely book him again

Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you on making your day great. Please call us for all of your catering needs.
We used Gourmet Crepes Cafe as the caterer for brunch the morning after our wedding. Chef Jean and his wife delivered us coffee, crepes, grits, hash browns, mini quiche and more in perfectly packaged tins with burners to stay warm. They even left us extra food in the oven to keep warm until needed. They were so kind and the food was absolutely delicious! The ham and cheese crepes were a huge hit with our guests. They made everything so simple for us- especially during a time where all you want to do is relax and enjoy a few more minutes with friends and family. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a brunch caterer. Very yummy!
Response from the Vendor on 07/11/2020
Thank you for your kind review. We were glad we could make the day relaxing and enjoyable for you and your guests. We have a passion for food and for our clients. Take care and thank you for your business.
After being discouraged out of a plated dinner from another caterer since our venue was outdoors, when we found GCCC, Chef Jean and LaFronza were a godsend. They were able to give us our Plated Dinner and many other things the preferred caterer from Harmony Gardens couldn’t for a much more reasonable price! The tasting was amazing; got to try several options for our apps, entrees and sides. They had the option for us to do a dessert table and I was so excited! Also provided a coffee bar which was a must on such a cold night! Throughout the whole planning process they made everything go so seamlessly. They really went above and beyond for us from providing last minute champagne flutes to providing a few vegetarian entrees and apps. They set up our Dining Area so beautifully. And even though it was a very chilly night and they were working off-site without a kitchen, the plates were warm and delicious! Really thank you for your hard work and I recommend them to anyone needing a caterer for any event!
Response from the Vendor on 04/01/2020
