Simply Gourmet

Simply Gourmet catered our New Year's Eve party recently and I was really impressed, not just with the service, but the food was outstanding! Quite a few of our guests - there were 80 of them - commented on how much they enjoyed dinner. From the moment I reached out to Jamie Barrett for catering information, to the night of the party, she was super helpful and professional. The catering staffers on-site on New Year's Eve were very attentive and easy to work with. This was the first time that I used Simply Gourmet Catering for one of our events, but it certainly won't be the last! More...

Simply Gourmet expertly handled our wedding in October 2018, and we couldn't be happier with the result. Our venue had never hosted a wedding before (a warehouse space in the Rosemary District) - Becky and the team were up to the challenge! So many of our guests commented on how smoothly everything was running, how incredible the service was, and how AMAZING the food tasted! (Napa Braised Short Ribs, SO GOOD) Thank you Becky and Chef Larry! Hiring Simply Gourmet was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process :) Highly recommend! More...

Becky with Simply Gourmet was amazing! I booked them a year out from my wedding date. I was the bride who asked at least 10 questions every day, and changed my mind every other day. Their customer service is great and the food is even better!! More...

I recently attended a business networking event catered by Simply Gourmet Caterers. When I walked into the event I was greeted by a friendly server offering Risotto Cakes, Tenderloin Lollipops and Shrimp Canape. All 3 were amazing! The dinner buffet was blackened chicken with their gourmet salad. The presentation was beautiful and the dinner was fabulous. Thank you to Jamie and Chef Larry for the wonderful meal. More...

Simply Gourmet was the caterer for our wedding on March 24, 2018. They did an exceptional job. We could not get into the venue until 3pm the day of the wedding. Becky’s team set up all the tables and chairs and even put all the centerpieces and wedding decorations up for me. When I arrived at 530pm everything was done. And everything looked amazing. The food was yummy and the staff were more than helpful. Thankyou Becky and Shannon and Chef Larry. Your the best... More...

Simply Gourmet catered our wedding on Saturday and we could not be happier. The chef, Larry, has previous experience as a chef in New York (where we are from) and his food is excellent; simple yet elegant and surprisingly affordable for the quality he puts out. Our guests who, came from around the world, were very impressed.

Becky, the wedding coordinator through Simply Gourmet, was also amazing. It sadly rained on our day but she was upbeat and responsive throughout, and worked hard to allow for some of the reception to still take place outside after the rain had stopped. She also helped to move decorations around inside the Edson Keith Mansion (where our wedding took place), to ensure that the indoor ceremony was just as lovely as the outdoor one would have been.

Jamie, the owner, also went above and beyond to help our wedding be flawless.

I highly recommend Simply Gourmet for any wedding or event. More...

My name is Jam, CEO of The Jam Band, and I had the pleasure working along side Becky and her staff at Simply Gourmet Catering on a wedding at The Ringling Museum in Sarasota. From my initial interaction with Becky, to the end of the event, she was a pleasure to work with. Becky catered to the band's needs and did so with ease even though she was consumed with keeping the bride happy and running the event smoothly. The food was delicious and the overall presentation was spot on. I was super impressed with her and her staff as she remained calm throughout and did not micromanage. You rarely run into event planners who can run an event as gracefully as she did. I highly recommend Simply Gourmet for all of your special occasions. More...

Being a former Catering Manager, I must say that Simply Gourmet was on point & fabulous for my wedding! They were referred to me by a form chef of mine and I was very please with their food quality, service, & professionalism. When I began to work with them, I knew exactly what I want for my wedding reception. I sent over ideas and they came back with the perfect menu! I even had allergy restrictions and they worked hard to ensure their were no issues. I was highly impressed by their level of services and would use them again in a heartbeat! Give them a call and see what they can do for you. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed! More...
