There's so much you have to deal with when planning your wedding. A lot of the vendors do a great job in providing a quote and selling their product, but global gourmet catering goes above and beyond and delivers what they promise and more.

They truly make you feel you are the only couple in the world that just got engaged. Even from the very start of simply requesting for a quote Elaine and her team were personable, easy to talk to, professional and knowledgeable. They we're genuinely interested in our love story and you can tell that they are passionate about what they do and wanted to make our day absolutely perfect!

I truly never felt like a Bride until meeting Elaine and her team at Global Gourmet Catering. Years back I used to work part time for a staffing company and would work with numerous catering companies throughout the bay area. I was even trained by Paula De Lucs catering company and know exactly what it takes to provide excellent service. There were a few that really stood out to me.

I remembered the tuna tacos as a server for a wedding I did in Napa and remembered the level of professionalism each server, chef and bar staff had in their jobs. It stuck with me first years. So when I was time to pick our caterer for our wedding, I knew I had to work with Global Gourmet Catering.

My husband, however was the hard sell. He is the type to do hours of research before making any decision. He put the catering company through the ringer with 11 revisions, 2 tastings and hours and emails of questions. I must say GGC handled every question perfectly! They won him over!

As for the big day. The food was hands down the best thing we have ever tasted! Two months after our wedding and people will randomly tell me how much they miss our appetizers, especially the tiny croque Madam's and chicken baos. Or they will mention how buttery the oaxavan seabass was and the all time favorite the Smoked ribs!!!! The best ribs we have ever had and that's saying a lot. Dante the chef is a genius and I can't say enough good things!
And one of my favorite moments of the night was having our late night snack, "in-n-out" inspired sliders with truffle fries. They were so juicy and so good that I ended up having 3 and shared it with my sister outside to get some air.

The last thing I'll mention was our french inspired profiterole cake and wedding fruit cake. Their new bakery chef was pure brilliance. It was so good and exactly what we wanted. Elaine even threw in a complimentary traditional fruit cake that we could freeze and cut on our first anniversary!

I'm still hearing guests tell me they are having withdrawals from the food at our wedding! It was the perfect day with the perfect staff and perfect catering company.
Thank you thank you thank you for everything that you guys do. You are brilliant. You do good work. Your food is as good as I remembered it when I was working for you.
You have made me feel truly special and that extended to my family and friends as well.
We love you GGC!
