My husband and I are huge foodies so, good food at our wedding was very important to us and we had the absolute pleasure of working with Gourmet Gals Catering & Events for our wedding. We couldn’t be happier with the experience!
The food was phenomenal while also being affordable!! Seriously our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was and how “that was one of the best meals I’ve ever had!” We even had some guests ask which restaurant it was from so they could have that meal again lol
Ari, our point of contact, was also fantastic!! He was incredibly easy to work with and always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. His attention to detail and commitment to making sure everything was perfect really stood out. Their team made a point to ensure my husband and I had someone bringing us food during cocktail hour and that we had everything we wanted. They also helped with a lot of the setup for our wedding and ensured the breakdown went smoothly.
If you’re looking for the best catering team in the Austin area that will impress your guests and make your event unforgettable, Gourmet Gals Catering & Events is the way to go! We’re so grateful for the amazing food and the excellent service! Our food will forever be one of the best highlights of our day thanks to this amazing team!!!
The Gourmet Gals planned an amazing dinner that everyone absolutely loved - we have received so many compliments on their food. From just a few emails they came up with a delicious menu that was perfect when we went to taste it.
The buffet ran smoothly and quickly, it seemed to only take a song or two for everyone to be fed. Additionally, they were so attentive to us as the bride and groom ensuring that we had full plates first and stopping by our table every so often to make sure we didn't need or want seconds of anything. Everyone says you don't get to eat the food at your wedding, but Gourmet Gals made sure we were full before all the dancing began. As if that wasn't enough, they even packed us a go bag with two full plates of food, some of the passed appetizers, a slice of the bride and groom cake, and a bottle of bubbles for us to celebrate with that night.
We booked the Gourmet Gals as the all-inclusive option with The Terrace Club and everything with the planning went so smooth and perfect its hard to believe.
Sherri and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with! The food was FANTASTIC. They were so on-point and professional throughout our entire process. We had such a great time working with GG and having our guests enjoy their food and service.
Y’all. This food was SO GOOD. We told them we wanted a southwest inspired menu, and Sherri came up with the most delicious selections. Our guests raved about it! Vendors even told me it was one of the best vendor meals they’ve ever had. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff was so attentive and wonderful in every way. They boxed up a meal for us to eat after our reception, which we are so thankful for because we were STARVING. Sherri also helped me with rentals, which was such a blessing because I wouldn't have even known were to start. I would give them 50 stars if I could!
We got so many compliments on our wedding food!! It was absolutely delicious!! Portions were great and everything was perfectly cooked! The buffet line went quickly and we were able to get everyone served in a timely manner! Highly recommend!
Calls are still coming in telling me how amazing the food was for my daughters wedding. If you are looking for a caterer for your wedding event this is the vendor to use. We can’t rave enough about Gourmet Gals catering ❤️❤️ Definitely a 10 star caterer ❤️
I cannot say enough great things about the Gourmet Gals. They catered the food for our wedding and we are still receiving compliments on it. We wanted three total different food stations and Gourmet Gals worked with us to bring that to life. They offered suggestions and worked with us every step of the way to create the menu AND to also stay within budget. The food itself was delicious and very accommodating to any food restrictions. Highly recommend to anyone wanting delicious food for a reasonable price!
The Gourmet Gals were perfect for our event. We did a heavy hors d'oeuvres lunch for our reception.
Cassandra came out to look at the space, recommended set up, had all of the linen and dishware rentals, and provided a bartender for us (we bought all of the alcohol and mixers).
Our guests were raving about how well run the event was - dishes cleared away super quickly, the team helped us stick to our timeline, cut our cake super quickly, passed champagne, and packed us dinner boxes to take back to the hotel as of course we ate very little.
Would definitely recommend!
the gourmet girls are amazing! They had a partnership with the venue we booked which is how we secured them.
They were so easy to work with. They listened to our ideas for the menu and went above and beyond to create such a delicious menu. Our guests we raving about how much they enjoyed the food.
The food was wonderful, I’m still dreaming of the roast beef with mustard mousseline!
We had our wedding Jan 2, 2021 and the food was absolutely delicious! Every one of our guests complimented the dinner! Sherri was awesome to work with when developing our menu and tasting. Thank you so much Gourmet Gals!
I would give this vendor 20 stars if I could. They did the catering for both of my daughters' weddings (and one of the rehearsal dinners) Their food and their staff is absolutely amazing. The wedding guests from both weddings say that was "the best" wedding meals they have ever had. They have a HUGE menu and will work with you and help you if you need suggestions. They have meals and dinnerware for almost any budget. Sherri and Cymbre are fantastic to work with. Do NOT hesitate to use Gourmet Gals (& Guys) for any of your catering needs.
My fiance and I met in New Orleans, so we wanted our wedding to have a touch of Cajun/Southern flavor & fun! Cymbre and her team worked with me to come up with the most perfect appetizers (mini muffulettas, hush puppies, chicken/waffle skewers), dinner (Cajun spiced chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes) & dessert (beignets)! Most other vendors weren't willing to help us customize our menu in this way without a huge price tag. It was so exciting to make our wedding menu meaningful but also in budget - and it was actually one of my favorite parts of the wedding planning process.
Thanks GGCE for taking care of our big day!
Anyone who knows better will tell you that when all of the planning is said and done, no one will remember the place settings or centerpieces or linens. But they will remember if they had a good time, if you had enough alcohol (haha) and how good the food was. If you choose Gourmet Gals as your caterer for your big day, you will not be disappointed! I have been in the wedding industry as a coordinator for 15 years, and when it came time to plan my own wedding, it was really important to me to choose vendors that I had a personal relationship with and who were among the top 1% in the industry for what they do. I never even considered anyone else to cater our big day because of how phenomenal Gourmet Gals is at what they do. The menu planning is so easy and you even get to go in for a personal representative tasting to get a feel for what your guests will experience on the wedding day. The catering and presentation on the day of the wedding was top notch and my guests could not stop raving about how delicious everything was. I had so many people tell me that it was the best wedding food they had ever had (which I also hear every weekend from guests at my client's weddings)!! For all of the brides and grooms out there looking for a caterer who will not only provide you with the most amazing food, but will also make the entire process so easy and seamless, look no further than Gourmet Gals! Thank you for sharing in Bryan and my special day.
Summary is the quality of food was very high and the experience was so easy on us. Gourmet Gals started us off with a few suggestions, we made some comments on our preferences and they made all the items we requested come true and they were all such a hit. All we had to do was try the food and then show up the day of, everything else was taken care of! Thanks Gourmet Gals!
The food and service were first rate and our wedding reception went very smoothly. Cymbre and Rebecca were very helpful during planning and lead us through their extensive and delicious menu.
We had a wonderful experience with Gourmet Gals at our wedding this October. The team was accessible, easy to work with, and did a fabulous job accommodating all of our requests (including working with allergies)! Our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about the food, and we are beyond happy with our choice of vendors. Thank you all for everything.
From the food tasting, to the day of Gourmet Gals did a fabulous job and were so easy to communicate with! The food was fabulous and everyone seemed to enjoy it! This is the 2nd wedding in our family that used gourmet gals and both times we were totally impressed! They also helped us out with our signature cocktails and even printed out signs for us last minute because we forgot them! Thank you for going above and beyond for us!
My husband and I worked with Gourmet Gals to create a custom menu for our wedding and it was such a great experience! All it took was a quick phone call with Sherri to nail down the menu of our dreams. She totally got what my husband and I were looking for and her expertise was so helpful in creating a cohesive menu that was the right fit for our event. I could not believe how tasty the meal was and we got so many compliments from guests!
Gourmet Gals goes over the top to give you exactly what you want, how you want it. We got lucky because they work closely with our wedding venue and they exceeded expectations! My husband and I LOVE food and LOVE to cook. We hate being served gourmet food that we feel like we could have cooked ourselves at home. Gourmet Gals did NOT disappoint! They worked with us to create a 100% customized menu (accommodating my tree nut allergy and our vegetarian and vegan friends) and we have heard nothing but great things so far from all of our guests! We had 3 appetizers passed during cocktail hour, and then we had guests choose ahead of time from 3 plated meals that were served at their seat (as opposed to buffet style). Execution was PERFECT, and food was absolutely delicious.
Gourmet Gals is absolutely outstanding!! I highly highly recommend them! We are truly happy and thankful we chose them. Everything turned out amazing and perfectly done, from the food, to the linens , to helping us handle our cake. These people are definitely a must! A special thanks to Cassandra for helping us the whole way. She was very attentive and extremely helpful with any questions we had. She always responded to emails quickly too which is awesome. Thank you for making our night wonderful!
We had Gourmet Gals as our caterer because it was the default caterer that I had to use for my wedding venue. Most of the communication was via email with Sherri, who is the owner, and she would often take at least a week or more to reply to a simple email. The food during the tasting was great but they were very small portions to barely get a sense of the quality of the food. On the day of the wedding, I felt like the quality of the food was not as great however - it was just okay.
We started the process of planning our menu with Gourmet Gals very early on - during the next year of planning, we requested to make several changes and these were always easily and quickly accommodated. For our tasting, they were incredibly gracious for allowing my mother, stepfather, and MIL to accompany us. The food itself was EXCELLENT. We had a wedding of over 200 guests and the first comment I heard from everyone was how incredible the food was - and I have some pretty picky family members :) My husband and I actually got a chance to sit down and eat our meal (for about 5 minutes, of course) and were so glad we got to enjoy it. Then we also had the pleasure of receiving leftovers which I couldn’t wait to eat and lasted me two days of lunch. Gourmet Gals does an excellent job across the board and I would recommend them to anyone.
Gourmet Gals Catering was the in-house caterer at our wedding venue and our food was AMAZING! I received SOOOOO many compliments about how delicious our food was. The process was incredibly easy. I had a great phone conversation with Sherri regarding likes and dislikes, allergies, absolute musts, absolute noes. Sherri then sent a suggested menu with a few different options in it. We met in the storefront for a tasting and were absolutely in love with everything we tasted. The items she suggested made us feel as if she had known both my now-husband and me for years. She was able to pinpoint exactly the types of foods that we would love and convey them in a menu that would appeal to everyone at our wedding. I would absolutely recommend Gourmet Gals for any of your catered event needs!
We were very picky about what our food would taste like. We did not want your run of the mill boring chicken wedding reception meal and Gourmet Gals did not disappoint. We worked with Cassandra and she was easy to work with and my wedding coordinator said she was great too. The food turned out amazing and our guest said it was one of the best meals they had at a wedding so we were happy we achieved our goal. After all we didn't want hangry wedding guest! If you want tasty food give Gourmet Gals a taste!
I cannot say enough about Gourmet Gals! We used them for our cocktail hour and reception food and everyone on their staff was so kind and helpful. Very prompt in responding to inquiries. Flexible in providing food with special dietary needs. Discounts on kids meals and vender meals. They even offered a discount on our admin fee because my husband is a veteran which meant a lot to us. Their food was the perfect mix of classy, grilled, healthy food we were looking for and tasted delicious. We got many compliments on the tasty food from our guests. Additionally, the staff was so helpful in setting up a pretty looking display for our food that matched our wedding's style and even took over setting up our drink and coffee/tea/hot cocoa station so that they could make it pretty and my family wouldn't have to worry about it.
I would go with Gourmet Gals again for catering any event.
Our food was super amazing and our guests are still requesting additional portions of the Gouda Mashed Potatoes. The experience with Gourmet Gals was wonderful from the private tasting to the day of the wedding, everything was flawless.
Cassandra from Gourmet Gals was awesome to work with!! She answered all of my questions promptly and in detail. She and her staff helped to make my wedding day run perfectly!
I'll start by saying I am trying to find an excuse to throw another party to be catered by Gourmet Gals just so I can eat the food again! It was SO delicious and all of our guests thought so too! Both Cassandras were amazing to work with--so kind, organized, and on top of communication. The day of was so smooth - the Gourmet Gals team helped coordinate with other vendors, did the table settings, and made the buffet table look stunning! Book Gourmet Gals for your wedding and any other catering needs, you will not be disappointed!
Our overall experience with Gourmet Gals was awesome! We selected them one of 2 exclusive vendors at The Terrace Club (amazing venue) and we're immediately impressed. Sheri offered tons of options for entrees (including vegetarian and vegan), sides, salads, and appetizers. At our training Sheri made notes (ex: slightly tangy-er sauce, less pumpernickel bread) and followed through on the slightest detail. All our guests were pleasantly surprised with the taste, quality, and quantity of food at our wedding.
We had our wedding at the Terrace Club and used Gourmet Gals for our cocktail hour and reception. Their food is so good! They were very helpful throughout the process! I was not really sure what kind of food I wanted, so they sent me lists of what they could do, as well as set out a couple sample menus when I asked (since I found it very difficult to come up with a menu). They will literally do anything you want, which is so awesome! When we went in for our tasting, I knew we had made the right decision. We left saying that we couldn't wait to eat it all again at the wedding!!!
We used Gourmet Gals for our cocktail hour at Vista West Ranch and I would have easily hired them for the entire event if we weren’t set on having BBQ for dinner! Cassandra was extremely helpful putting together quotes and working with my budget. The day of she went above and beyond and was even helping with my dress before I walked down the aisle! Their food presentation was wonderful and the food itself was outstanding! Highly recommend the donut holes and fried green tomatoes!
Gourmet Gals put together an incredible dinner for our wedding this weekend at The Terrace Club! You frequently hear of mediocre wedding food, but even at our tasting meeting, they left us wanting more. Our guests loved everything, and everyone was asking who the caterer was.
The folks at Gourmet Gals were very easy to work with, reasonably priced, and they can flat out cook some great tasting food for your event. We could not be more pleased with their food at our wedding!
- Jed and Kristina Leach
Out of all the vendors I emailed when I first started putting together the wedding. Gourmet Gals was the only one to work with my budget. Everyone else told me to up my budget... :/
I am so glad I went with Gourmet Gals!! Cassandra and Delany helped with wedding planning as well and they were an absolute joy to have around!! Everyone raved about the food and everything was so organized!! Gourmet Gals is the WAY TO GO!!!
The Terrace Club's preferred caterer, Gourmet Gals , is absolutely the tastiest food ever! So many people talk about mediocre wedding food, and this delivers to whatever direction you want to go in. They put together an Italian inspired meal since our honeymoon was in Europe, and when we went to the fasting we were thrilled to know they were so tasty! Definitely worth it
Gourmet Girls was absolutely fantastic and I'd highly recommend them! My now husband and I are very particular about food and really wanted great food for our wedding - Gourmet Gals delivered. I will admit that we hesitated initially because the food they often serve is typical American or southern/Texas-style food and we were looking for more Asian-fusion style food. We spoke with both the owner Sherrie and Chef Mark on the phone and they listened carefully to our vision. We were completely blown away at our tasting and regretted ever questioning them in the first place. The food at our wedding was fantastic - they captured the Asian-fusion flavors with sake marinated sea bass, char siu beef tenderloin, and lots of delicious vegetables such as a balsamic strawberry salad, crispy brussel sprouts, and french green beans in oyster and sriracha sauces. These may not sound exciting but they really cooked and flavored the veggies to perfection. The sea bass was probably the biggest hit and we received endless compliments about it. The appetizers were also delicious with lots of variety, including watermelon feta skewers, asian crab poppers, lime cilantro shrimp, and chicken satay. Gourmet Gals is so flexible and they can really create anything that you wish - they have endless lists of different things they can make and they're also open to new things and are willing to accommodate almost any request from the client. No matter what type of food you're looking for, definitely give these guys a chance - you won't be disappointed.
Gourmet Gals is the best! Everything about them was perfect. Their staff is kind and professional, their food is amazing and their event execution impeccable. I had multiple guests tell me that their beef tenderloin was the best they had ever had. I could not be happier with everything they did. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!
Gourmet Gals came with our venue -- The Terrace Club. Normally I would not like that I didn't have a choice in the matter, but I was very impressed with Gourmet Gals' sample menus & professionalism. They offered a wide variety of food options so we didn't feel restricted at all. Furthermore, I told them I'm vegan & gave them a general idea of what items we liked on their sample menus -- they constructed a near-perfect menu on the first try! I was very happy -- & so was my fiancé (now husband!) who is NOT a vegan. I was very happy with the planning process & with how the food ultimately turned out. I would definitely recommend Gourmet Gals to anyone & everyone!
Very disappointing. Portions were very small, beef dry, green beans cold and hard etc. When we went in to test the food it was a pleasant experience and we were told it WOULD NOT be wedding food. Well, it was worse. And we spared no expense. We were embarrassed. The Pink Avocado catered the rehearsal dinner and they were fantastic. Wish had used them for the wedding as well. :(
Gourmet Gals provided us with an amazing menu. Everyone was raving about how good the food was, especially the Macaroni and Cheese bar. They made our menu dreams come true!
Seriously, their food was delicious. All of our guests went back and had seconds. Their pepper jack mashed potatoes were a huge hit! And I cannot get over their Gorgonzola Cream sauce!
Thank you ladies for the perfect wedding meal!
We used Gourmet Gals for our rehearsal dinner and wedding and I would highly, highly recommend them! First, the food is absolutely delicious - we had multiple guests from both nights tell us that it was the best catered food they'd ever had. Second, their service is phenomenal. Delaney was so incredibly responsive to my many emails and calls - and she also worked with my (now) mother-in-law to help her with the rehearsal dinner. She was so flexible and accommodating - we had several guests with food allergies (nut allergies, gluten, dairy etc.) and several vegetarian guests - she handled it all flawlessly. The chicken and steak entrees we had were delicious - but the vegetarian entree options Gourmet Gals created for both nights blew our minds - most caterers don't do vegetarian very well - but GG most certainly did! They were super professional - from the servers to the chef, they were all so friendly and on the ball. And - they provided all this amazing food, catering and planning within our budget. I recommend Gourmet Gals without any reservations. Thank you to Delaney and her team for helping make our wedding a huge success!!
This is the caterer that works with the Terrace Club so we selected from their menu for our recent wedding. The food was delicious. The appetizers were very tasty and surprisingly, the chicken breast was not dry like I am used to. Very pleased with the food and selection.
People were blown away by the food at our wedding!!! Process was super simple, and at the tasting we didnt have any changes! Great vendor! Wish we could have that meal more often!!
Everyone said it was the best wedding food they had ever had. They did a fantastic job and my only complaint is that I wish I could have them cater every day!
Gourmet Gals helped us create a meal that was fantastic. They were very nice and personable when we went in for the tasting, and the menu we created turned out great. The passed hors d'ouerve during the cocktail hour were exceptional, as well. The portions in the main dishes were a little small, but not too bad. The only downsides: they are a little pricey. The vegetarian option we were assured would also be vegan and gluten-free, however it had cheese in it - thus, not vegan or gluten-free. This did upset a handful of our guests. Overall, they did a wonderful job.
Food was extrememly important to us at our wedding and we were worried that we would have the typical "wedding food" that comes out cold, and over cooked.
My husband and I werent too impressed with our meal, because our meat was over cooked, but we actually had a ton of people tell us that it was the best wedding food they had ever had! So, given the fact that we had a lot of people give positive reviews, and the fact that our food tasting was so good, I think we just got a bad plate.
I'm originally from Hawaii and really wanted to incorporate some local food into our wedding. We were a little nervous at first because unless you're from Hawaii and have had the food before, it would be a little difficult to replicate. However, when we found out that the Gourmet Gals chef had previously worked at Kenichi, we felt a little better about giving him this task of Hawaiian cuisine! I did have to go for 2 tastings as everything but one dish was PERFECT. Sherri made the tasting process and communication an easy and wonderful experience! Everything turned out great the night of - our passed hor d'oeuvres were shrimp/pineapple skewers and vegetarian egg rolls. Our reception food was "Shoyu Chicken," "Kalua Pork and Cabbage," "Lomi Lomi Salmon," rice, veggies, and fresh fruits. Thank you again, Gourmet Gals for your patience with me and pulling through with our delicious Hawaiian dinner!
We just worked with Gourmet Gals & Guys for our wedding on July 27th, 2013, and they were awesome! They tried to really get to know me and my husband to be, and our food preferences, so they could build a menu we would both love. They were very professional and prompt to respond to e-mails and phone calls. Gourmet Gals & Guys were also very flexible when I felt the need to make a few changes to our menu only one month before the wedding! They also worked very hard to ensure no nuts were included in any of the food or food making process due to my nut allergy! And the food was amazing! Everything was delicious, and our guests at the wedding are still raving about how awesome the food was! I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of a catering service.
I do not know how many times I have heard that Gourmet Gals served "the best food I've ever had at a wedding." These wonderful sisters served our rehearsal and reception. The food was outstanding - especially our Mac & Cheese bar. They could not have provided more delicious buffet options both nights or better service. My husband & I still talk about that mac & cheese.
I spoke with Gourmet Gals multiple times before the wedding, and each time, they were so willing to work with me. They answered all of my questions and were able to help me with the minute details surrounding dinner and layout of the reception. Their wisdom and experience were invaluable. They also did a wonderful job setting up the venue both nights to perfection!
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOURMET GALS to anyone in the Hill Country area. I cannot rave about them enough.
We had tried multiple caterers before found Gourmet Gals, and thank goodness we found them. I was having a really hard time finding a well rounded caterer, either the food was great but the communication and prices were horrible, or the food was horrible but they really wanted your business and followed up repetitive... Gourmet Gals nailed it all great food, great customer service and great pricing! Every bride should sit down with them!
Thank you, thank you, thank you JoAnna and staff! I can't say enough wonderful things about you! You were so professional, caring and delicious! All of our guests loved the reception food and thought the bridal lunch was awesome. JoAnna, you did such a great job handling all of the details, big and small. I never felt alone because I knew you where handling everything. Thank you so much! hope everyone looking for a caterer will be as lucky as we were with you. Bravo!!!
They were great and the food was amazing. Best food I've ever had at a rehearsal dinner & wedding. The chicken was super moist, the green beans were not overcooked.. the beef tenderloin was perfect.. I couldnt rave more about how great the food was.. and the staff was awesome as well. SUPER attentive to what I wanted. Very professional, while planning & the day of. Hire them. You wont regret it.
