Great Events Catering

n in Key West and even more impressive food selection and packages. We worked personally with their manager, Melissa. She is super attentive and helped explain and review so much throughout the whole planning process. While visiting vendors in Key West, February of 2022, my husband and I were able to do a tasting, which was just blown away by. Their food is above and beyond amazing! Flash forward to wedding day everything was just as amazing and fresh! So many attentive servers all around, no one was left waiting for more food or without a drink. 1000/10 must hire for your affair.

ood I ever had. Everything was delicious.

and accommodating. Ourselves and our guests were blown away by the food - many particularly raved about the mini chicken and waffles and bacon wrapped goat cheese stuffed dates. The entrees were generous in size, delicious and served hot. The desserts were the perfect sweet ending to the evening. Service was 10/10. Thank you Great events!

ig hit. We went to a tasting in 2020 and we never even tried any place else after tasting their food.

ively all over the world and I honestly think our wedding meal was the best meal of our lives! We had really high expectations for our wedding food and drink and Great Events exceeded every expectation by a mile! Wedding food is notoriously "iffy", but not theirs - every single thing we ate was absolutely amazing, and every single guest told us it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. I also appreciated how responsive Aleksandra was throughout the entire wedding planning process. Planning a destination wedding from afar can be stressful, but Aleksandra always got back to (all) my emails, made time for phone calls with me, etc. and worked with us to make our food and drinks everything we wanted for our wedding. We chose to have a buffet and chose the Old World Havana menu, with mojitos as our signature drink, and everything was so delicious. We even chose to forego a cake in lieu of choosing three desserts from Great Events and we were so glad we did - they tasted so much better and really tied in with our theme, and with three choices, everyone was happy. We also appreciated how generous and flexible they were with us, even tweaking a dessert to our preferences and to match our theme. On the day of, Great Event's staff really stood out as exceptionally gracious, professional and thoughtful - not only did they tend to my husband and I like royalty (they made sure our plates and glasses were overflowing with every option at our table so we didn't have to miss any of the fun to wait on a buffet line), but they also were very conscientious with our guests. Some of their staff even made a plate up - without us even having to ask - for my husband's elderly grandfather so he wouldn't have to go up and get the food himself. Not only was the food exceptional, but we were truly touched by the level of professionalism in their service and execution on our wedding day. We are already talking about planning an anniversary trip back to Key West and trying to scheme up a way to get Great Events to cater it. Book them, you won't be sorry! Thanks so much, Great Events!

so really easy to work with. She quickly responded to every email and kept everything extremely organized. I had some pretty crazy requests for her and she was so accommodating. The service on our wedding day was also perfect. We cant recommend them enough!

orked within our budget to come up with the best package for us. She was very detail oriented, which I liked as it meant she cared about the little things so that we wouldn't have to. The food at our wedding was spectacular. We had passed appetizers, an open bar and a buffet. The staff were extremely professional, and even though it wasn't a plated dinner, they went around to each table filling water glasses and checking in on the bride and groom to see if they needed anything. At one point one of our guests broke a glass and the staff cleaned it up promptly and made sure no one got hurt. Overall the service was beyond amazing. They are more expensive than other Key West caterers, but with Great Events you definitely get what you pay for.

s are newly married and/or have attended countless weddings. Even still, the common compliment was that this was "the best wedding food they have ever had!" Aleksandra is so easy to work with and there are so many menu options and variations to choose from. She also accommodated one guest for us that has several food allergies. We could not have been more pleased. Thank you Great Events! 10/10 recommend!

onderful and friendly bartender at our reception as well. Overall, lovely experience with Great Events!! I would highly recommend them for weddings or any event in the keys

good to be true and then the wedding day came and all of our guests could not believe how amazing their meals were! I was always told most brides never eat and to remember to eat, well I didnt need to remember or be reminded... i ate my entire plate! We worth the investment and we can't tell you how many of our guests still talk about how amazing our food was!

d was out of this world. Everything from the passed appetizers to the seated meal to the late-night snacks was absolutely delicious. The servers were courteous and personable and the food was plentiful. I can’t thank Aleks and the staff enough for making our family’s event so very memorable. I highly recommend Great Events to anyone – you won’t be sorry.

ith typical wedding food. We then decided to go with a venue where we could hire a caterer. Once the venue manager found out my husband's occupation, she immediately referred us to Great Events, stating they were for "foodies." We live here locally, so we were able to visit them for a tasting. It was out of this world. Chef David prepared everything for us, as discussed each menu item with us. Before the tasting, we had gone over a menu of what we wanted with Aleksandra, who is in charge of their operations. She was seriously AMAZING. My husband is originally from Poland & we wanted to incorporate that into our wedding. She was able to get us traditional Polish vodkas, as well as beers. All the guys at the wedding loved having Zywiec to drink! A few of my husband's family flew in from Poland, & Alex went as far as to get us Polish servers! She was literally more than just the front of the catering. We met with her numerous times, she helped me with the set up of everything, suggestions, she was there every step of the way for us during the wedding planing process. She even stopped by at the wedding to check on us. And the final menu chosen for the wedding was insane. I'm at the age where a lot of my friends are getting married, as well as attending weddings & all of the guests commented on how exceptional the food was. We had many guests that also work in the industry & they can be very judgmental, yet all commented about the amazing service & food. My husband & I have both worked in restaurants for many years, and in the Keys, good service can be difficult to find. The food was delivered promptly, and the servers & bartenders were on point. They constantly checked on myself as well as my husband & his family to keep our drinks fresh. Between the food, the exceptional service, & the kind treatment we received from Aleksandra, it was truly one of the best points of our wedding.

r guests agreed. Plus, they brought me and my husband our own plate of appetizers and whatever we wanted to drink when we had some alone time before the reception. Then they walked me and my husband through our food stations prior to our guests, serving us everything we asked for, and bringing the plates to our table for us - we never even touched the plates. The service was great. The food was incredible. I couldn't recommend them more!

nd the food was all perfect for the sunset sail! I highly recommend Great Events as a catering company!

ssert table, Hors d'oeuvre, late night snacks. The food was prepared on the spot and was so amazing. to see everyone's faces when the food was being brought out is something we will never forget. But more importantly not only did it all look great it tasted great. Everyone at the office was great to work with, when we wanted to tweak some things it was not a problem, when I had a last min request for a vegan meal they where able to pull together a great option.

ompliments from guests that is was "the BEST food ever served at a wedding!" Amazing crew <3 L&L West

My husband wanted freshly caught Mutton Snapper and Dave hired a captain to catch his desire- it was the hit if the party. He is a pleasure to work with and truly worked to make our 1930s themed wedding an event to remember.

s amazing throughout the process. The staff was also very friendly and efficient at the event. Great Events Catering was recently sold, as of end of June 2012, and Cindy and some of her staff are no longer with the company. We have not had contact with the new owners or chef who has also changed.

tyles, etc and can work with you on anything. Excellent customer service as well, among the best of all vendors I used.

d the multiple changes to my menu I made efficiently and was so prompt responding to all emails. Andrew, the event designer, did such a beautiful set-up and I was absolutely stunned as to how gorgeous my wedding turned out. It was more than I ever imagined. Throughout the night, there were a few "issues." Bar ran out of white wine, bathroom ran out of TP, etc.. and Cindy handled all of this with efficiency and grace and I never knew about any of it! The food was delicious - we did a raw bar and sushi bar that was the freshest I have ever tasted. I cannot thank Great Events enough for making my wedding more wonderful than I ever imagined!!
