Awarded Best of Zola
When we were planning for our wedding, my husband were looking for things that we loved and wanted to share with our family and friends. I had been following Nancy’s work/business on Instagram and knew I wanted to incorporate my and my husbands favorite snack — a charcuterie board. Nancy was very professional, communicative, and listened. I had a vision of how our grazing table would look and Nancy brought my vision to life. She was very detailed and decorative. My grazing table had a large variety of cheese, fruits (fresh and dry), jams, dips, honey, several different types of breads/breadsticks and mini Belgian waffles. The decorations and layout was very well thought out and made with lots of love and detail. My guests absolutely loved the grazing table and it was the talk of the night. I highly recommend Nancy. You won’t be disappointed!

Additionally, Summit allowed us to make several reasonable alterations to our chosen package, which we were really grateful for, due to several guest allergies, etc! Pam was incredibly communicative throughout our entire working relationship and we are so grateful. She made the process so easy!

I had my first shot at managing a sushi restaurant when I took over an empty section of the family restaurant and introduced sushi to my customers.

I quickly learned that it’s not just about having fresh fish anymore. Sushi dining has transformed into a culture. A culture built by imagination and creativity. With the help of GD and the support of my family, I took all that experience and fused it with my imagination and created Yooshi Sushi Catering and Event Production.

From the very first consultation, they made us feel confident that they understood our vision and dietary preferences. We love that they offer buffet style service but still bring their food truck so the food is constantly being replenished. Mediterranean-inspired menu was a huge hit with our guests, and we received so many compliments on the food & the display. Miriam truly goes out of her way with adding floral, and adding an elegant touch. We opted for a mix of appetizers, main courses, and desserts, and everything was absolutely delicious.

They took care of everything including the set up of the other vendors such as the dj, photobooth, photographer and florist. Gourmet gourmet catering is a full service catering company that not only provided food, but also includes the rentals of tables, chairs, linens and bar service! Gourmet gourmet did not dissapoint. Their food was amazing! I still have people raving about how tender the brisket was and how savory the salmon was. The artisan bread was beautifully displayed and the cheese grazing table was the talk of the wedding. There was unexpected rain and the catering and rental crew had to accommodate for last minute changes of adding a tent and heaters which was done flawlessly. The service of the serving crew was phenomenal and I would definitely hire Gourmet gourmet for future events.
