    Tailgate Gourmet Catering provided exceptional service during our tasting. Their communication was great - they were very open and willing to compromise to make our dream wedding happen. The quality of their work and attention to detail was extremely impressive, and we feel we received incredible value and they exceeded all expectations for our first tasting. We've only had a tasting so far, but we already know they will take great care of us on our big day. Tailgate Gourmet Catering takes pride in their work, which is a truly wonderful quality that gives us confidence they will exceed our expectations.

    From the moment we first spoke with Tailgate Gourmet Catering, we knew they would be the perfect fit for our wedding. John's team was incredibly involved, had great communication, and were so friendly and open to our ideas. From our tasting a year ahead of our event, John and Julie were a true all-star team. We instantly felt comfortable with everything they walked us through and the options (and amazing pricing) that were provided to us! The food at the tasting was to die for, and we knew immediately that we were making the right choice, given the amount of love John puts into his cooking. The quality of their work throughout the entire planning process was truly amazing. At our party, the food was out of this world, and their teamwork and leadership ensured our celebration went off without a hitch. At our party they arrived early, had great communication, and were extremely efficient. We truly wouldn't have had the same special day without them. We were even sent home with 8 trays of delicious leftovers (I am still dreaming about the Mac and Cheese and need to find a way to get more)! Tailgate is also amazing at adapting for guests' allergies. When we had a guest with a vegan diet, they not only provided a separate plate but also a whole tray for others to enjoy, which was included in our leftovers. Our guests were raving about the food, going back for thirds and fourths. We are so grateful to Tailgate Gourmet Catering for making our wedding day truly unforgettable. Thank you John, Julie, Marci, and crew!

    My fiancé and I recently had a menu tasting with John & Julie for our upcoming wedding. It was a 10/10 experience! Both John & Julie were welcoming, informative & kind. The food was unbelievable, everything we tried was so delicious; it’s going to be a tough call on what makes our final menu! It is clear that John is passionate about his craft & is talented at it as well. We can’t wait to have their food for our big day, we know our guests will love it & we can’t wait to have it again, too!

    Tailgate Gourmet catered my backyard wedding in Connecticut this year and I cannot recommend them more highly. John and his staff were wonderful to work with, from the tasting, to the day of the event. We had over 120 guests and they all had options that fit their dietary needs. All of my guests raved about how delicious the food was and I truly couldn't be happier with the level of quality and service that Tailgate Gourmet brought to my wedding cocktail hour and reception. We even had amazing leftovers! Thank you Tailgate Gourmet for helping make my wedding day delicious and unforgettable!
