We used The Cooked Goose for catering our microwedding of 20 people. The food was amazing and delivery/setup went smoothly.
Food was really good, a little trouble with communication at first, but the food was good, great service, they packed up leftover food, cookies and cake. Very friendly
We hired Cooked goose for our September 10th wedding and everything was great. They showed up on time and dinner was served on time. Many of our guests complimented the meal. They ...
were great to work with, they even helped us restock our cookie table before they left. They also repackaged any leftover for us. Working with Mandi was great. She was very responsive and was able to answer all of the questions I had and make adjustments as needed. I will definitely be using them for future events
We hired the Cooked Goose for our June 2021 wedding. Mandi and the team was nothing but amazing! Mandi made the hiring and planning process very easy. Once the catering team showed...
up on site, they stayed busy preparing salads, setting up food, serving guests, bussing tables, and cutting the cake. The food was amazing! I would highly recommend the Cooked Goose for any catering needs!
First off, the food was only amazing, the roast beef was gone within minutes, none was left after the wedding!! Secondly, Mandi was fantastic, responding to my hundreds of question...
s, making changes, and ensuring me a stress free interaction. Thirdly, the staff was very professional and did a wonderful job with setting up the buffet and then bussed the tables, ensuring a proper cleanup. Highly recommend this company!

edding caterers. Cooked Goose fit the bill perfectly---our guests were raving about the roast beef and eggplant parmesan! They were also wonderfully flexible and accommodating in terms of shifting guest counts due to COVID, and handling some of our guests with tricky allergies. Thank you so much!
The Cooked Goose is simply amazing. From the customer service, to the food to the servers. I was so pleased with everything on my wedding day. People are still taking about how goo...
d our food was! Everything arrived on time, the food was hot and ready to go, they came up with solutions for COVID and they did an excellent job cleaning up and catering to us. Mandie Wood is the sweetest!
The menus are so affordable and the stuffed chicken is the best thing I have ever tasted. You will not be disappointed with The Cooked Goose!
Wonderful catering service. We used them for my daughter’s wedding on 10/24/20. Mandie, the catering manager was very helpful from start to finish. The food was delicious and the ...
staff were really hardworking and great with the guests. I would give Cooked Goose a 10 rating, they will not disappoint.
The food and service were excellent. We had their food at another wedding and loved it so much that we didn't even look into other options before hiring them. We received so many...
compliments on how delicious the food was. They had pre-packaged covid-friendly boxes for cocktail hour and served our buffet style dinner and cleaned everything up afterwards. They are also reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food received. We cannot say enough good things and will definitely be hiring them for future events!
They catered our backyard wedding this weekend and we were so pleased. We didnt do a full "wedding package" as there were only 15 guests. They were super flexible in allowing us to...
modify the menu and use a "non-wedding" package.
We had roast beef, stuffed chicken, au gratin potatoes, roasted Asparagus, Spinach salad, rolls, cookies & cupcakes. The price was SUPER reasonable and the food was excellent- the roast beef was especially raved about. The chicken was a bit on the dry side but still flavorful. That would be my only criticism.
They were on time and quiet during setup (we were in the middle of our first dance/father daughter dance and I didnt even realize they had arrived).
Overall I'd definitely recommend them again!
great food never had a bad meal from the cooked goose its awesome and it very good price.
OH MY GOODNESS!! I wish I could give The Cooked Goose 1,000 stars! They offer a takeout trail for $25 (which I believe is applied to your final price). The amount of food you get...
lasted us 3 days for dinner! I had dreams about the stuffed chicken, not even kidding. Absolutely everyone had nothing but incredible things to say about the food. They were able to accommodate everyone’s dietary restrictions - vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, dairy allergy, etc.
They are incredibly affordable!! My favorite part was that they allowed us to TAKE HOME the food we paid for after our wedding. 🙌🏼 I was astonished at how many caterers wouldn’t allow you take home what you paid for. We have SO MUCH food left over!
There is nothing better than The Cooked Goose!
We booked the cooked goose for our wedding on September 22 and the food was amazing! The Roast Beef was delisoious!!
We used Cooked Goose catering for our wedding. Overall, the food was good, well prepared and presented. They were very easy to work with. We had a breakfast/brunch. I chose three s...
tars for several reasons. We had an omelet station and the “chef” wasn’t a chef, he was just filling in because they were short handed. He did ok, but seemed very overwhelmed. He also burned a hole in one of the rented linens that we had to pay for. We were a bit disappointed with the food during the social hour. The portion sizes on one of the items was huge - not hors d’oeuvere size at all and I didn’t care for the taste/presentation. Lastly, tea and coffee service I requested was not done. Somehow it was left off of the order so we weren’t charged, and it was a very hot day so it was probably not missed too much, but for a brunch we were expecting it.
They're rigatoni was so good! I was a mess, trying to plan my wedding with my family and bridal party in another state. Debbie was so helpful, any questions I had she was always re...
ady to answer, even if she had already answered them. And the portions are huge!!! We had enough for the wedding, leftovers, and even took a large container to my husband's firehall for them! Would definitely recommend, taste and value are out of this world, and Debbie was awesome in calming down this panicky bride!
Food was amazing. Debbie really helped when you called. There was a few hiccups but that normal.
Had them cater the engagement party for our daughter and future son-in-law. Food was amazing. Everyone there commented on the food and wanted to know where we got it. We will be us...
ing The Cooked Goose again and again. Thank you for everything
We used them for our wedding this past weekend and it was a horrible experience. The staff arrived 2 hours late and never called anyone to tell us they would be late. My brother h...
ad to call several times to get in touch with someone only to find out they were still 45 min away. They blamed the lateness on some issues with call offs etc. Once the food arrived several family members and bridal party members had to help bring the food in and get it set up. We were supposed to eat at 6:00pm and be done roughly around 7:30pm so dancing could begin and we did not start eating until 7:15pm with the last table getting served around 8:45pm. The food was cold (which is unfortunate because their food is good) and our guests were given very tiny portions and tried to go back for more since everyone was so hungry but by then they had to serve themselves. Because the portions were so small we had over 10 trays of food leftover and they let them sit out on the tables (we paid for them to clean that up) and again our family members and bridal party had to clean up the food and put it in the walk in fridge for us. Overall, the experience was a disaster and never once did we get an apology for being late or a thank you for our family members. In fact, all I got was hassle from the staff regarding payment (that was certainly already taken care of). We would not use them or recommend them for an event ever again as the staff and communication was very poor. Very unfortunate as again their food is delicious but was overshadowed by the awful service. *** Update *** After several phone calls and emails to the company we finally got a hold of Debbie (the woman we worked with from the beginning) - - after speaking with someone else - -and she took care of our issue right away and very respectfully and efficiently. We got a very nice refund after Debbie took over the case. Again the food here is great but would just be weary if you are using them for a time sensitive occasion. I would just do your own research on how far your venue is from them as I think we were just a bit to far to get the job done well.
They were so easy to work with, answered all my questions with patience and kindness, and were so helpful. The lady's that were helping at my reception were amazing as well. They h...
ave so many different packages to choose from. we came in way under budget! I would highly recommend!!!
The Cooked Goose Catering is amazing! To start, they have tons of amazing options and packages to fit any kind of wedding budget and style. Even for the food sampling, they give yo...
u so many options and so MUCH food. Debbie, the woman who I worked with, was wonderful. She was always pleasant and extremely prompt with communicating, which was so helpful. We fed our wedding of 120 for under $11 a person! And the food was delicious! The staff had salads at every guests seat when they came in from the cocktail hour, so they had something to eat while waiting for the buffet. Even with the buffet, there was never a line and always enough food. We had a fall wedding, so we wanted Octoberfest style foods. We had sausage and haluski, fried chicken, stuffed cabbage, rigatoni, and more. They packaged all the leftovers had them for us to take home. Additionally, we used our own plates (mis-matching vintage china) and they even rinsed all the dishes and placed them in tubs for us. They were amazingly priced, but with no cut in quality. Would recommend them to anyone for any event!
