Simply Amazing--One of the most important features we wanted our guests to take away from our wedding was the food. My guests are still talking about it today. Jamie was professional, courteous, and the most organized person I have ever met. She went above and beyond what we asked her to do. I would definitely recommend them for any catering needs. Outstanding, she won't do you wrong.

I just wanted to thank you, first for an amazing job keeping everything "coordinated" all night long. I received several compliments about how amazing you were--even from just the rehearsal! There is no way this wedding could have been a hit without you. Secondly, everyone--and I mean everyone that we spoke to throughout the evening commented on how amazing the food was. They all seemed pleasantly surprised at the "wedding fair". And so many people went back for seconds! I think the only disappointing thing was that neither Geoff nor I got to taste any appetizers. But that's a small price to pay for a smashing party. Thanks again!!

Jamie is amazing to work with and she went above and beyond. Not only does Simply Gourmet do catering, but they also serve as a planner to keep things moving and organized at your wedding. Jamie is on time and very professional. She goes above and beyond to get exactly what the bride wants. I highly recommend Jamie if you value organization and an eye for detail. Jamie will get it done! I also have to mention that Simply Gourmet's food is phenomenal. People were actually coming to me after the wedding and commenting on how awesome the food was. It is great food if people remember it! Thanks Jamie!

We considered several caterers, and Simply Gourmet blew them all out of the water! We had a lot of requests, but Kathy Taylor knew that we were on a tight budget. Knowing that, she helped guide us in the right direction with food and rental choices. We ended up with a fabulous wedding menu at a very reasonable price. The food was absolutely phenomenal--we had several guests come up to us to tell us how amazing the food was and to ask if they could get seconds! And many were foodies from New York City. Additionally, Kathy was our day-of coordinator, as I did not have a wedding planner. She was ESSENTIAL in making sure everything happened correctly and on time. What a life saver! I wish I could give Simply Gourmet more than 5 stars.

My husband and I chose Simply Gourmet as our caterer after attending a friend's wedding, and receiving their recommendation. We met with Jamie and Chef Larry, we totally hit it off and decided to book them. We met for a tasting with Chef Larry and he blew us away with his menu, his food is AMAZING. We decided to have two completely different menus for our wedding, one Yank, one Brit to reflect our nationalities. Jamie and Larry went over the top to provide organic food and two fabulous original menus. Both Jamie and Larry, are unbelievably professional and are really good people! As far as service, you not find two people who are more passionate and love what they do. An awesome team and would be a prefect additional to any wedding. . . Cheers!

I wanted to thank you so much for all your help these last few months in preparation for this past weekend. You and your staff were absolutely amazing to work with and definitely made my job much easier! We received excellent reviews of your food and staff, the entire event day and even the following day! The participants have been flooding my clients with Compliments saying this was the best Scion Exposed yet! Save the date for next year, maybe another 750 guests!

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to you and your staff for catering my graduation celebration. The bartending etiquette and professionalism was outstanding. The enthusiasm and attention to detail truly exceeded our expectations. The Staff harmoniously worked in the kitchen to create appealing and delicious appetizers, then proceeded to smoothly serve each of our guests with a smile and ease that was appreciated by all. Please consider us truly satisfied customers who will eagerly refer future clients to you.

Thank you for an amazing wedding! The wedding guests are still talking about how good the food was. I had a guest come up to me at the wedding and say this was the best "wedding food" that they have ever had!! That is exactly what I was going for :). The salad was a huge hit too!! I still get comments about the dressing. I will be recommending you to all my friends. Have a great day!

Chris and I have just gotten home from our honeymoon and I have been dying to email you to tell you a big thank you for helping to make our wedding so wonderful. The food was wonderful, everything looked beautiful, and everyone enjoyed themselves greatly. You were delightful to work with and we are thankful to you for helping to make the day so memorable for us. I hope we cross paths again.

Dear Jamie,
I wanted to congratulate you again on the splendid job that you did for the Chevaliers du Tastevin. Down to the smallest detail, the dinner was one of our best events ever. The food was extremely well prepared and the servers were knowledgeable and friendly. The menu was thoughtfully done and each course was a new delight.
With kindest regards,
Gregory C. Yadley

Dear Jamie and Larry,
Well, the accolades keep coming from all of our guests. Thank you for making this important Opera Fund Raiser so successful. For me, I think the most important thing was the attention to detail, the service (your staff is superb), and the joy of working with you. Thanks Again!
