Gourmet Galley Catering

can be spotty at times; however, TRUST ME- they are there to provide assistance and guidance in an instant when you really need them and they are in contact leading up to your big day. And the food—oh the food! Our wedding menu was DELICIOUS! We’ve received nothing but compliments on our dinners (including our vegetarians)! More importantly, WE can attest to how delicious the meals were because our personal attendant for the day and the Gourmet Galley team that assisted on the day of our wedding (shout out to Judith and Kyle!) made sure we had time to sample our appetizers, eat our dinner, and that we always had a fresh drink on hand. If you are looking for a delicious menu and excellent service, book Gourmet Galley! We’d use them again in an instant! We cannot thank them enough!

or the price, you cannot beat it! I have received so many compliments on how beautiful our wedding day was, how delicious our food was, and it wouldn't have been possible without Danielle and her team. She made the whole process and the day-off stress free and easy. They are very organized and accommodating, and executed every detail as communicated. I am thrilled with how our wedding day turned out! Gourmet Galley exceeded our expectations.

lly and developed a menu that tailored to everything we enjoy. GG also had very competitive pricing for the selections that we made. Communication from initial contact through the tasting was excellent. There were a few challenges with communication as we neared the wedding day, but were ultimately able to review all details a week prior. Service from the staff day-of was EXCELLENT! The staff member assigned to the wedding party went out of her way to ensure everyone was attended to. Due to a computer error on GGs system, our entree differed slightly from what we were originally hoping for. Anna made it a point to have a call with me and my wife and was completely open to the criticism and made amends to the best of her ability. Overall, we would recommend GG!

l. During tasting we were served a steak dish that was attractively plated with amble side vegetables a sauce and garnish. The steak was pre-cut into medallions. During the wedding dinner, however, each steak dish had one lump of meat with no sauce, no garnish and with very few potatoes and vegetables. Very unattractive and sparse. The steak was not pre-cut and the knives provided at the place setting were not sharp enough to cut the meat. Seventy percent of our guests ordered the steak so the impact was significant. I have already written lovely reviews of the DJ, Florist and the Venue - and my younger daughter is 21 and I would use any of those vendors again as they exceeded my expectations. However, I would not select this vendor again, and I would never recommend this caterer. I emailed the caterer on Monday and copied them on a second email to the venue and I have received no response. I contacted the venue on Tuesday because Gourmet Galley is on a short list of preferred caterers for the venue, and I have suggested that the venue remove this caterer from their list, or perhaps expand to provide additional options. To be disappointed on such an important day as your daughter's wedding is extremely sad and was embarrassing for us as the hosts of the event. - signed the mother of the bride

person, only had spoke on the phone... she came to the Vineyard for a vacation and she took the time out of her VACATION to meet with me! She did not have to do that, so glad she did because my husband and I quickly realized we made the best choice ever. Marissa was always quick to email me back with any crazy questions I had... I had a ton. The tasting was magical... she took photos and sent them to us for reference as to how the food would be presented to our guests. Our dream wedding reception/dinner came to fruition.... The moment I arrived to the venue Marissa was there to greet me. She was our on-site coordinator... along with Kyle. Kyle was so so so awesome. He had my back the whole time. It was raining and the ceremony was to be outside. He walked with me, talked with me, and supported me throughout the process of deciding whether or not we would have the ceremony outside or under the tent.... Goodness I could go on and on about this dream team. Brooke was amazing too... the hors d'oeuvres were unbelievable... I had multiple guests tell me how they were the best passed hors d'oeuvres they ever had... couple of guests even admitted to stalking out the servers... they couldn't get enough! Dinner was unreal... so yummy. Honestly Gourmet Galley Catering runs a seamless operation. NOTHING went wrong... not a thing. The bartenders were awesome. The signature drinks were amazing... I want to do it all over again. Hire these guys... you won't regret it, I promise.

food, the setup, the rentals, truly everything, including and especially their staff, who were all big hits with my guests. The waiters were constantly replenishing food/apps, the bartenders remembered everyone's drink orders, the bridal attendant Kelly made sure I had a fresh drink in my hand at all times. I am so thankful for all they did to make our day so very special and would recommend them in a heartbeat!

peaking of rentals, I'm so glad that they take care of all those details! We didn't have to worry about any of the setup or breakdown. The food itself was delicious. Our tasting was a great experience. Marissa made sure that we were able to taste all of our entrees, an appetizer, and sides. They made so much food that we took home two bags of food to give our family a taste! At the wedding we did a buffet, and the serving staff were great at keeping food hot, refilled, and the line moving. All of our guests raved about the butternut squash ravioli and the salmon. On our big day, we had an event director who did such a good job taking care of us. She made sure that we each got a plate of hor d'oeuvres (which almost never happens while you're busy taking photos), always had a glass of champagne on hand, and got us each a full dinner plate. Overall, I could not recommend Gourmet Galley any more. They are a great team and helped bring together our perfect day!

e reviews from our wedding guests about every dish. The planning process was also seamless -- they were very flexible and customized our menu so it felt personal, from the signature drink to the dessert options (not to mention there are SO many dishes to choose from). Additionally, the food tasting was a fun and laid-back experience. If you are considering GG for a wedding or party you are planning, you cannot go wrong! Thank you to Keri, Kyle, and the entire Gourmet Galley team! You made our wedding day.

nd service was amazing would be remiss of me. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and responsiveness was amazing. Melissa McCue was a seriously a godsend. I always felt less stressed when I got off the phone with her. Wedding planning is stressful, but choosing the right team makes a huge difference. Having Gourmet Galley on my team was the best decision!

ctly and her staff in the kitchen worked furiously to adjust the food to the time change. It could have been an extremely chaotic time however we and our guests hardly noticed the bump in the road. You can never be fully prepared for what might happen on your wedding day, but be sure that if you choose Gourmet Galley and work with Marissa things are sure to go off without a hitch!

guests. Thank you!

more than willing to make custom creations or family recipes. As soon as we walked down the isle, the servers came by with drinks and apps for our bridal party right away. Everyone was friendly and attentive. Thank you Marissa and team!

king views of Long Island Sound and a gorgeous outdoor patio for the cocktail hour, it is an incredible place to host guests and celebrate such a memorable occasion. The Gourmet Galley food was exceptional. Our guests loved the mini lobster rolls and my favorite were the bacon wrapped scallops! What really sets this venue apart is the incredible Gourmet Galley staff, including Marissa McCue. The servers made sure that the bride and groom actually ate, they brought plenty of appetizers to us and had champagne waiting for us once we walked out of the ceremony. Marissa makes the day go by seamlessly. Her positive, bubbly personality makes the planning process fun. She has a great attention to detail and thinks of all the little things I would have over looked. Thank you for making our day so magical! Erin

easy to talk to, quick to respond to emails/calls, and was there every step of the way on the day of. Thank you Jen!

and their service was impeccable. They give you free range at customizing your own menu and offer amazing suggestions as well. You will be one happy bride using them as your catering company!

in my dress by the end of the night! The staff was all super attentive and my husband and i were never without a drink or food in our hands! I never had to go to the bar! Gina was a pleasure to work with throughout the process and Patti settled all my nerves the week before the wedding when we ironed out the last details. They made all of my dreams a reality and made all of my plans come to life! I didn't have to worry about one thing besides having fun the entire night. Extremely grateful, an amazing catering company! Thank you!!!

nal staff at Gourmet Galley (as well as their to die for food!) Our Sales & Event Coordinator, Jennifer Glissmeyer, could not have done more to make me a very happy bride throughout the entire process. Her commitment to seeing our vision through, and orchestrating the most beautiful night I have ever had, was simply impressive. And we would be remiss in not mentioning the wonderful experience we had working directly with Kelly as our wedding party server. Thank you for everything! - Lindsey & Phavixai Vixaisak

eption at the Guilford Yacht club and Gourmet Gallery Catering did a fantastic job with the food/preparations and decor. I love that we were able to make our menu unique to us and it tasted amazing. Couldn't have ask for a better day. Thank you GGC and most importantly Marissa!

menu for our wedding and even used a recipe we requested for one of the entrées! The food was amazing and our guests loved it. My husband and I could not be happier with our decision to get married at the Guilford Yacht Club and use Gourmet Galley Catering. Thank you!

hat one of the top 3 things your guests will remember from your wedding day is the food and I am proud to say that our guests are STILL raving about it. From our initial meeting, to the tasting, to the wedding day Keri had been MORE than accommodating with answering any questions, making any changes and really "catering" (pun intended) to our every need. We were presented with countless options for appetizers and main course choices and what we ended up with was pure perfection. On the day of the wedding I was BLOWN AWAY by their attention to every detail and attentiveness. Their staff was amazing and not once was anyone ever looking around for the passed appetizers or felt like they didn't get enough. They really brought their A game with presentation and the actual service. One comment that I keep getting from guests was about the portion sizes for the main entrees and how IMPRESSED they were to find that their meal was an actual dinner sized portion and not, what other people were referring it to as, "wedding sized dinner portions." All in all I cannot recommend Gourmet Galley and Keri Bell enough. They are a top notch, class A kind of company and they now feel like family to us. If you want to leave a lasting impression on your guests and be proud of your catering decision, Gourmet Galley is worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. You will never regret it!

the same quality at the wedding. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Everyone was so impressed. I'm so happy with the service we received.

hey are willing to customize any menu item or course for you. I highly recommend working with Gourmet Galley.

so exceptional and attentive, fantastic. Marissa, Sue and everyone we worked with, start to finish could not have been more accomodating....all of our guests just raved!

per our requests. Very easy to work with and a great end result of delicious food choices!

nd stayed way past the time I paid her for. The food was incredible and all the staff was so pleasant and worked so hard. So many people told us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to!!

om Gourmet Galley was delicious, we liked everything in our tasting so much that we ended up expanding our menu since we could not decide which options were our favorite. I would highly recommend Gourmet Galley for any upcoming event, you will not be disappointed!

the lighting and much more. It was great to have someone to go to for advice on every element surrounding our wedding and to know that I was receiving a knowledgeable answer. It made the entire process (which can be very stressful) much easier for me. After the wedding, I had numerous guests tell me that the food at our wedding was the best they had ever had at a wedding. I have recommended GG to friends getting married in 2017 and would recommend them highly to anyone looking for a caterer in the CT area.

of our wedding we didn't have to worry about a thing and everything went flawlessly. The food was great (people are still talking about it over an month later) and the service was phenomenal. Everyone in our bridal party was blown away by the service we all received while cocktail hour was going on but we were off taking pictures. Everything was first class - highly recommend!

tasting and ultimately the wedding, Jen was incredibly professional and easy to work with. We were very happy with the food, including the passed hors d'oeuvres which everyone raved about. If I had to choose an area for improvement, it would be presentation, which I felt was a little uninspired for some of the items on the menu. Otherwise an excellent experience.

to the meal. It was all so delicious! The timing and efficiency of the staff were impeccable. Everyone was served promptly with the meal of their choice. Jen Glissmeyer of Gourmet Galley served as our wedding planner and “day of” wedding coordinator (a service I highly recommend), and she did a superb job. She guided us through the planning right up to the big day. For the rehearsal and the event itself, she was indispensable. It put us at ease knowing she was there to take care of all the little details. She elegantly arranged our gift and guest tables to perfection. With her coordination, the flow of guests from arrival to ceremony to reception to dinner was seamless. Jen calmed our nerves as we prepared for the procession, and ensured our timing was perfect. She brought us drinks when we were too busy greeting guests to make it to the bar. She did all this so discreetly and gracefully, a true professional. I really can’t say enough about Jen and Gourmet Galley. They were terrific!

wedding coordinator, Jennifer Glissmeyer. She was so helpful in working with us to plan our menu. We had definite ideas as to what we wanted for our guests and Jennifer made it all happen. We felt so at ease with Jen that we had her on site the entire day of the wedding . She help to coordinate everything including making sure the wedding party made it down the aisle! Knowing she was there handling everything allowed us to fully enjoy our beautiful day! Jennifer had great ideas yet also listened to us to make sure 'our day' was perfect. ( I'm convinced she also had something to do with the beautiful 75 degree sunny Connecticut day we had😏)

ne too many weddings and I was pretty worried the coordination would not go smoothly. However, Jen put my mind completely at ease during our first meeting at the venue. I knew things would go perfectly and they did!

execution, I felt we were in great hands. Marissa McCue knows her business, is creative, unflappable, hardworking and is a pleasure to work with. She coordinated the events with such professionalism and warmth, that even as the mother-of-the-bride, I could actually enjoy every moment of it. The food and presentation are outstanding, all of the waitstaff and service people were great... and in my mind, Guilford Yacht Club is the perfect setting. I'd give them a sixth star if I could!

ating a menu that combined sophistication, variety, and local flavor!

t. The staff exceptional. There are not enough words to praise them sufficiently

st restaurant owner). The chef was happy to work with me on my menu. Plus, they are very well known in the area and all of the major venues love working with them. They delivered on their promise and met our expectations.

me how friendly and accommodating the staff was to everyone. There were no lines at the bar or the stations, the champagne was cold and the event was run like a well oiled machine. It was the best wedding food we've ever had and we consider ourselves foodies! But most impressive was GG's ability to coordinate with multiple vendors, as well as prepare food on site. After dinner, we actually had a flash tornado. GG staff quickly sprung into action when the weather turned threatening, by moving the food and bars inside of the tent. The safety of our guests was their top priority and it showed. It was less stressful for us because of the way GG handled things. After the storm passed, GG sprang into action again to put the tent and dance floor back into action quickly. They turned a bad situation into one with an epic story line! Look no further if you want excellent food and service.

ng a peep about any problems. For all I know, no problems occurred! I would highly recommend them!

actly how to execute every little detail! We also hired Marissa as our day-of coordinator and are so glad we did - she kept the day moving and made sure everything ran like clockwork so I didn't have to think about it. The food was fantastic - everyone raved about it, with many guests saying it was the best wedding food they've ever had (our entree choices were lamb and scallops). The linens, dinnerware, flatware and glassware they rented on our behalf were all very nice quality and looked great. All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend Gourmet Galley to anyone!

n and enjoyable endeavor. Ultimately, guests RAVED about the food and we could not have been happier! I would recommend Gourmet Galley without hesitation! Organized, professional, proficient, and friendly come to mind when I think about GG's top notch service!

out of their way to make everything perfect for us. Also the wedding day staff and chef were excellent, detail oriented, and we could not have been more pleased. Our guests raved about the food and service . We could not have been more pleased.

. I could not have imagined such organization from someone who received so many emails with updates and changes from a crazy bride! It was such a relief knowing that I could count on Keri to set up all of the details before hand, run the ceremony, and make sure my husband and I had everything we needed throughout the night. She was excellent and I would recommend Gourmet Galley to any bride who does not want to worry about anything on her big day!

amazing throughout the entire process, relieving us from the stress of planning a wedding. And of course, the food was excellent, the taste and classy presentation. The staff were very friendly and professional. All our guests raved about the topnotch food and service. I highly recommend Gourmet Galley.

aff on our actual wedding day was fantastic as well! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

we had the best wedding food they have experienced. Everyone we met from Gourmet Galley was very friendly and a pleasure to work with, especially Keri. She remained flexible and accommodating through all the changes we wanted to make and made sure the event was set up seamlessly. We would definitely recommend Gourmet Galley for weddings, and wish we could experience ours all over again!

e we stayed on track through the planning process and on our wedding day. The tasting was decadent and impressive. The wedding day itself was stunning. I heard nothing but rave reviews from all our guests regarding the food and the service. Everyone was professional, reassuring, flexible, and gracious. Thank you so much Marissa and the entire Gourmet Galley team!!! 💜

need to worry about a thing. Keri helped during the rehearsal and the day-of as well, which I highly recommend! Everything was beautiful, delicious, and went off without a hitch. Everyone had an amazing time, and we received tons of compliments from our guests! They were flexible, gracious, and had so many great suggestions and little tips - you can't go wrong! Thanks again Keri + Gourmet Galley.

i was professional but friendly and warm - never judgey and always listened attentively to what we wanted. Very understanding with some of my craziness and the whole Gourmet Galley team executed our wedding day without a single hiccup. I had been expecting something to go wrong because with weddings, you've got to be ready for some bumps, but it was truly the day of my dreams! Thanks Keri and everyone at Gourmet Galley - Also - the food was INCREDIBLE. dozens of our family and guests went out of their way to tell us that not only was the food amazing, several people said it was the best meal they'd ever eaten. From our initial consults to the lavish tasting, to the Day-of coordination, I can't say enough!

stion I had promptly and I asked her a lot. We had lots and lots of e-mail exchanges. Every detail was accounted for. The food was very good and we were pleased with the whole experience. I would definitely recommend Gourmet Galley to a future bride.

if it wasn't for a slight issue with staff members.

ey just made it as painless as possible. When I walked up to my reception on our wedding day, to say I was happy with how it looked would not do it justice. They set up everything EXACTLY how I imagined it (and even a little better!). I am so thankful and happy with their food, service, and overall attention to detail.

Marissa, she really listened to all of our comments, questions, and concerned in an effort to make the day perfect. She went above and beyond on the wedding day - when she helped me fix my bustle after it broke during my first dance! The staff did an exceptional job with set up, arranging all of my decorations and table centerpieces either exactly how or even more beautifully than I had envisioned. If you want a reliable caterer with exceptional foods, presentation, and attention to detail, I absolutely recommend Gourmet Galley.

le - we held our wedding at a non-traditional venue and the Gourmet Galley team worked seamlessly with the on-site staff to coordinate a lot of tiny details to make sure we had everything we needed and helped us map out a reasonable timeline for the evening. They also had great recommendations for other local vendors and they worked with our booked vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page about our wedding. They also worked with us to help tailor the menu to fit our budget and also allowed us to make small menu changes that were personal to us.

" style menu and would honor deposits we had already paid. Our coordinator was extremely helpful and made sure everything went smoothly the night of the wedding. It seemed that everything happened later than scheduled but probably not the coordinators fault and was due to a combination of factors. This seems to happen in most weddings! The coordinator can be as involved or not involved in planning as you want her to be. Just ask. She was however very busy with other contracts and certain emails from me to her and vice versa seemed to have been lost? Not sure what was going on with that. We had a private tasting that was wonderful and we tweaked many things on the menu to our personal tastes. There were a couple minor glitches at the wedding (we were short two place settings at our head table, sauce was on the steak and not on the side as I had requested). There will always be a couple things that aren't as you wanted them but the night of the wedding you have to go with the flow, and none of it ended up being a huge deal. Can't say I didn't notice it though and that the work was flawless. Overall, I was very happy with the food and service from gourmet galley.

gs they came up with creative dishes based on what we liked and were a pleasure to work with throughout the process. All our guests told us it was the best wedding food they have ever had!

ve arose, I was unaware. Everything was perfect because of my caterer.
