Gourmet Galley Catering

  • Serves East Haddam, CT

We love weddings. We love them big and fancy or sweet and simple. We love brides who agonize over the size of their train, their pearls and their bouquets and we love brides who call up and say, “Let’s have a clambake at my dad’s beach house!” Celebrate everything—family reunions, birthdays, bridal and baby showers, anniversaries, retirement parties and just plain why-not? parties. Whether the whole clan is getting together for a long weekend or you’re having a sit down dinner for 20 just to honor some long and beautiful friendships, let us make the party that suits you.

“Gourmet Galley catered our dream wedding at the Rosecliff Mansion in Newport 3 weeks ago. Everything was amazing! Food, drinks, service – everything. Gourmet Galley eagerly incorporated all the personal touches we wanted, and worked wonderfully with the Preservation Society to make sure all their requirements were met. The bakery that Gourmet Galley works with (Zest Fresh Pastry) did a fantastic job with our wedding cake (red velvet in true 1920's style). Our guests raved about the food and service!!!! Sarah was our contact person at Gourmet Galley, and she also served as our wedding coordinator for the month leading up to and actually on the big day. She kept me sane and made sure everything flowed perfectly. Highly recommend.”

“I don't even know where to begin - our wedding wouldn't have been the AMAZING event it was without Keane's! We will be forever grateful for their hard-working staff, delicious food/bar services, and of course KYM! Kym was my main point of contact from the beginning of my wedding planning - every single thought/question I threw her way, she had a helpful answer that was prompt and kind. We ended up having Kym add on service as a day of coordinator - and my family is still talking about how much of a rockstar she was. All of my guests that I interacted with that day, and now after, have commented on how lovely all of the catering staff was, and how truly great the food was. I am dreaming about the brisket meatballs, bluefish crostini and mac and cheese. I also had a guest who told me the bar staff made the best margarita they have ever had! We seriously cannot thank this team enough, and I just hope that I am lucky enough to go to another event that they are a part of. I wish I had photos to share of the amazing food, but just know that you will not be disappointed! THANK YOU!!!”

“Odeen’s Catering delivered a wedding dining experience that genuinely rivaled some of the best restaurants we’ve been to. The quality of the food was exceptional from start to finish — not just “great for a wedding,” but truly outstanding on its own merits. Every course was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully executed.

From the cocktail hour through dinner, there wasn’t a single dish that didn’t impress. What stood out most was the consistency. Whether you were one of the first tables served or the last, the quality never dipped. That level of precision and care is rare in catering, and it did not go unnoticed by our guests — many of whom are serious food lovers and couldn’t stop talking about the meal.

We booked Old World Pizza Truck for dinner service and cocktail hour charcuterie and boy did they deliver. Even the skeptics (“pizza at your wedding?!”) came back to tell us what a phenomenal and unique meal it was. To quote one of my guests, “That pizza truck was genius. Did I tell you that the dessert pizza with peanut butter, jelly and bacon made my list of best things I’ve ever eaten that sounds completely disgusting?” Would book 10x over.

“John and his team are not just caterers, they are a whole experience. It is clear from the initial communication with Tailgate Gourmet that they are here to cook and serve you high-end, thoughtful meals AND to be a part of your wedding's atmosphere. We were sold just stepping into John's tasting kitchen; his team were there to provide not just a taste of the catering options, but the personality and level of service you could expect as part of your day. It's clear that John is a master of his craft and cares deeply about his menu offerings; he delivered diverse, delicious dishes, worked within our budget, and ensured that our guests with dietary and mobility restrictions had just as wonderful an experience as everyone else. We loved that Tailgate Gourmet is a self-contained operation, which worked perfectly for our outdoor wedding on a private property that didn't have infrastructure for a professional on-site kitchen setup. The team quickly assessed and adapted to the space we had available, and left no trace they'd even been there by the end of the night. Our guests (who are not shy about sharing feedback) let us know this was the "best wedding food EVER" and that the tenderloin and Mediterranean planked salmon were more delicious and well-prepared than any restaurant dish they've had in the past. If your priority is providing your guests with a darned good meal-- don't hesitate!”
