Chris was very accommodating and responsive to the changing environment over the last year. Highly recommend Best in Gourmet for their top tier food and friendly staff who made sure myself as the groom and the bride got what we needed. The guests loved the food and it was a hit! Exceptional night! 10/10

It is difficult to explain how in awe I am of what an incredible job Best In Gourmet did with our event. From the most amazing captain I could have dreamed of, Ginny, to all of the servers, they were kind, attentive and flexible -- really just the best.
They clarified any and all discrepancies throughout our wedding day and allowed us fully soak in the evening without any worry. There were so many details that went into this event that could have gone wrong, and somehow nothing did thanks to this amazing company.
Melissa and Chris spent endless hours planning this event, making sure every detail

Guest at a wedding November 30th at Lounsbury House in Ridge field, CTWhat an amazing staff and service! Super accommodating and presentation is incredible. Can't say enough great things about every employee-solicitous, attentive and polite-they are the best part of this catering company! Only negative-they need to step it up and have vegan options!

Ariel and the team at Best in Gourmet did a phenomenal job providing healthy meals and snacks for our 2-day business retreat this past week in Norwalk. My team members raved about the quality of the menus, the diversity of options, and the attention to all the details. BIG was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them.

This amazing team led by Chris saved my wedding. We were 6 weeks out, our former planner came back with a horrendous quote and I was at a loss for what to do. Thankfully, a friend had been to another wedding saved by BIG and connected me to Chris. Chris was phenomenal. He found a perfect venue, reasonable vendors and made the planning experience low stress and catered to our vision.
There are a LOT of people in the wedding industry that don't shoot straight. They manipulate through emotional excitement about your big day. Chris isn't like that. He is kind, direct and honest about what

It is hard to convey how outstanding the Best in Gourmet team is...my wife and just held a wedding for our daughter that involved 200 people, and a seemingly unending amount of details. It was executed brilliantly and with complete tranquility by Best in Gourmet.
Wedding planning and logistics...BIG's business model includes networking with superior vendors who share a "get it done simply and with excellence" . BIG retains these support partners without charging a mark up . 100% delivery on all facets.
The service team...we experienced something from BIG that we actually were

Best in Gourmet is really the best. I do lunch caterings at work and this is always our number 1 request! Everything they make is delicious, especially their meat. They do a Pan Seared Filet Mignon with Port Wine Sauce that's excellent and Sweet Chili Glazed Shrimp that is sooo good. It's top notch food that you can have at any event that you want to impress your guest with amazing selections. They even do different "themed" menus and they great at absolutely everything! Great service, Ariel is awesome to coordinate/work with... highly recommenced.

These people are great. They catered breakfast and lunch for a corporate event that was one day a week over a three week period.
I can't think of one negative thing to say. The food was great and the service was wonderful. They cleaned up breakfast during the meeting put down the lunch spread quietly without interruption to the meeting.
Ariel was wonderful in helping me plan the food for the event and helped me stay within budget.
Nothing but great things to say.

We can't give these guys a high enough rating! Marco and Dawn ran our backyard party for 25 people seamlessly. The food was amazing, the service impeccable, and the planning experience with Ariel, straightforward and so accommodating. From organizing the rentals, to the presentation of the food, we could not have asked for better. They left our kitchen in better shape than they found it! Great people, great personalities, great experience - definitely use Best in Gourmet!

We had our wedding at the Hiberian Hall and Best in Gourmet to catered the event. Ariel, their event coordinator designed a menu for our mexican inspired wedding that blew our guests away. Appetizers included items like chicken enchilada wontons with a sour cream salsa dipping sauce, pulled pork quesadillas and corn cake with chirzo and black beans and tequila flam-bayed shrimp in a cream sauce. The apps seemed to never stop coming and everyone couldn't get enough of them. We had a buffet style fajita station, a chicken guisado dish and a vegetarian mexican style lasagna. The food was
