Great events made our wedding day magical. The food is delicious but the service is above and beyond. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors and put our minds at ease from the very beginning. The food was comparable to a 5 star restaurant. Our wedding was perfect and great events played a huge role in it. Thank you so much!

Great events made planning a surprise intimate dinner for my Moms birthday stress free. Melissa was highly communicative over phone and email and even helped add small details that were so appreciated by my family and friends. Chef David helped me design the perfect menu. The passion he holds for his craft in the kitchen did not go unnoticed! My family is still dreaming of his turtle cheesecake dessert creation. I highly recommend using Great Events and look forward to hiring them again soon . Thank you so much for an unforgettable evening

We had a 50th birthday dinner for 11 people at a home we rented in the keys. The 5 course meal was better than even expected. We loved the creativity of the menu, various sauces and garnishes that made the meal so extraordinary. Loved that the courses were served on different plates, we also enjoyed the drink service during cocktail hour. It was truly an elegant evening. David and David were gracious and professional and obviously very talented. We would return to the keys just to have another event hosted by Great Events!!!!

Such. Amazing. Food. Seriously, it was hands down the best wedding food we have ever had and our guests said the same! So many compliments. We had the grill stations and the mashed potato bar was a HIT! Also, the service was also impeccable. They didn’t skip a beat. I can speak on behalf of myself, my husband, and each one of our guests that each person was so impressed with the level of service and overall talent of this crew! 1000/10 would recommend!

We had a wonderful experience with Great Events Catering when we hired them for my husband's 50th birthday celebration. Not only was the team courteous and professional, the food was beyond AMAZING! We had a whole pig roast, seafood paella, a beautiful salad and decadent desserts. Dave and his team go above and beyond to ensure their customers are well fed with exquisite food in a beautiful presentation and they never leave hungry! Our friends continue to speak about this party and the great time they had with Dave and his team. Thank you for helping to make this celebration wonderful!

Great Events catered my small wedding in Key West, and I can’t say enough great things about them. In talking to my wedding planner, I explained that the most important thing to me was truly excellent food and drink for our guests, and not traditional banquet fare. We wanted fresh food with a local flair, and an excellent premium open bar. Great Events came through with a buffet that met all our wishes: local seafood with great homemade sauces, fresh vegetables, and possibly the best salad I’ve ever had in my life.
