The GK Hospitality's foodie tour was beyond exceptional. We had never taken such a tour before and we were very impressed in terms of GK's hospitality, sharing and explaining the various foods we were eating, completeness of the food choices, and the overall fun of this experience. GK set the bar on what foodie tours should be about. He was pleasant to talk to, ask questions to, and always with his radiant smile. If he had a similar tour in another location, we would sign up in a heartbeat. Thank you GK for being the consummate professional. More...

GK did an outstanding job catering our wedding weekend! The food at our welcome dinner was absolutely delicious, and we received so many compliments from our guests. But what really stole the show was the pool party he catered the day after the ceremony. Not only did he feed upwards of 200 guests, he surprised everyone with homemade ice cream sandwiches. To say they were a huge hit is an understatement. Everyone loved them! His attention to detail, professionalism, and amazing food made our entire weekend even more memorable. Highly recommend him!

Giorgo is the most thorough, organized, and honest professional that you’ll meet throughout your wedding planning process. I didn’t have to worry about one thing— not one! His planning was impeccable, from day one to the flawless execution on the day of our wedding. None of it would have been possible without him, and you won’t regret entrusting him with the entire process. More...

Yorgos planned, prepped, provided and prepared first notch Greek dishes for a wonderful event in my home. The entire affair was without fuss or effort on my part. No detail left untended. The food and drink were top shelf and delivered with uncommon good grace & cheer. AND he and his helpers left the venue in top condition. A turnkey operation and a wonderful afternoon. Many compliments from guests. More...
