    Wow!

    From our first conversation with Tailgate Gourmet Catering, we had a great feeling about John and Julie! They were incredibly responsive and transparent throughout the entire planning process, answering every question with honesty and genuine kindness. Working with them, we got to create a custom menu that felt perfect for us, and during our tasting they surprised us with a special dessert that blew us away. Every food item was prepared flawlessly and tasted incredible. 10/10 would recommend

    So excited to work with Tailgate Gourmet Catering!

    John and Julie have been amazing working with and our menu tasting ended up being such a highlight of the wedding planning process. John and Julie put on such a special afternoon walking us through each menu item, each step in the process and made us feel right at home in their kitchen. We loved every single bite and cannot wait to share Tailgate Gourmet Catering with our guests this fall!

    Bride

    We had the absolute best experience with Tailgate Gourmet Catering! The very first tasting, we knew this was exactly what we were looking for for our wedding this summer. The taste testing was so much fun and really helped us feel confident in our menu choices. Every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully prepared, and you can truly tell how much care goes into the food.

    Look no further!

    John and Julie were quick responding, accommodating, and the sweetest souls during our tasting with them earlier this year. Amazing service, amazing food, and amazing people. We are looking forward to having their service at our wedding in 2027!
