Outstanding Caterer!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Gary and his team - They went above and beyond for us on our wedding day! The food was amazing and highly complimented by guests all night. Not only that, but the service and professionalism was outstanding. If you’re choosing a caterer, go with Emerald Coast! You will not be disappointed.I cannot say enough good things about Gary and his team - They went above and beyond for us on our wedding day!

Look no further
My wedding was absolutely perfect but I cannot put into words how amazing GARY is!!! I felt like we became friends over the year planning our big day. He gave me all the advice and opinions about my entire wedding LOL he’s professional but also personable which I loved and appreciated. He’s been in the business for years and I could tell he knew what he was talking about. We had a destination wedding so his advice was certainly needed!!! His staff, also amazing and so down to earth. My guests made them laugh, they made my guests laugh:) The food was delicious and would definitely recommend the tuna tacos and pasta station. So yummy! And I can’t end this review without saying how I love Gary’s twang accent :) I appreciate everything they did for our special day! THANK YOUUUU SO MUCH! (ps. I don’t ever leave reviews so that means something, right?!)My wedding was absolutely perfect but I cannot put into words how amazing GARY is!!!

Best 40th Anniversary and vow renewal dinner ever
Chef Serafin and his talented team were simply the best choice I made in planning our anniversary dinner for 36 guests. From the initial appointment to plan the evening to exquisite menu options, Chef Serafin was a delight and ease to work with. Everything planned and promised was executed without a glitch.
Our family and friends were treated to a Michelin 5 star surf and turf meal which had plates service under a twinkling tent.
One guest said as he was leaving that it was a perfect evening with the best grouper he has ever eaten in his life.

I can’t say enough about Gary and his staff! Planning a wedding from out of state was stressful, but they attended to every detail and coordinated with my other vendors to make sure everything went perfectly.I can’t say enough about Gary and his staff!

Amazing!!!!
I can't begin to tell you how amazing Emerald Coast Catering is! Great response, unavailable food, and just a pleasure to work with. It's always scary to plan a destination event and not knowing anyone or business to turn to. I was blessed to find Gary. He had great options and was very responsive to emails and calls. Let Emerald Coast Catering be your go to if your in Destin or Miramar Beach, FL for an event or just a special dinner on your vacation.I can't begin to tell you how amazing Emerald Coast Catering is!

Amazing catering professionals!
Chef Gary and his team were simply amazing! From our initial email consultation all the way through the end of the event, they were knowledgeable, helpful, and true professionals in their expertise! Gary was very responsive and gave great advice for my 50 person wedding. They have so many food options and were very willing to work with us on our wants/needs for our wedding. They helped customize our food and beverage service to create an incredible experience for us and all of our guests- which all of our guests were extremely complimentary of. You will not regret hiring Gary and his wonderful team for your wedding or event!Chef Gary and his team were simply amazing!

Professional service with great tasting food!
Gary and team were the best choice we made with planning our wedding. Gary was so professional when dealing with my wife and I and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. Typically people that have been in business as long as Gary don’t work with the passion that he does and they just look at you as another customer. Me and my wife felt so welcoming and his team made everything so easy and punctual. Thank you again from our family to yours.Gary and team were the best choice we made with planning our wedding.

Outstanding
Gary took care of us upon the first phone call. He not only helped with his own catering company he helped me find flowers and a cake quickly. He provided chairs for our destination beach wedding. The food was spectacular as was the service. I would give this company 10 stars. We will definitely be back for more events.

Delicious Food, Attractive Display and Great Staff
Emerald Coast Catering was wonderful! First, they have menu choices that are so delicious. The bride chose them for the wedding reception and I chose them for a brunch the following morning. We did not repeat any items and all were delicious, and served beautifully. Gary responds very quickly to any concerns and questions. They provide everything they need, you just provide a space. The team gathers dirty dishes and trash constantly, yet inconspicuously, to keep everything looking nice throughout the meal or party.
But I must repeat, the food was delicious. When they left, you couldn't tell that they had been there, except for the satisfied guests.Emerald Coast Catering was wonderful!

Worry Free
Gary and his team at Emerald Coast Catering made our wedding catering worry free. He made suggestions that were spot on and we had so many guests compliment us on the food and beverage quality, choices, and service. They also catered our brunch the next morning and it was perfect.

Phenomenal Food with Excellent Communication
Gary was so easy to work with. He always responded to emails quickly or answered when we called. He even offered some great recommendations like having the grooms cake at the rehearsal dinner instead of the reception and offered some good money saving tips on linens, etc. The food was exquisite and Gary and his helper Tony were both super personable and our guests loved them. On top of all that we both thought his prices were very reasonable. So happy I found him when we were hunting for a caterer!Gary was so easy to work with.

Rehearsal dinner
We can’t say enough about Emerald Coast Catering. Gary Serafin out did himself creating a creative, delicious and festive Mexican theme dinner. He was timely, professional and left our kitchen spotless! No wonder he has been awarded Award of Excellence by the prestigious Wine Spectator. I will certainly use him again!We can’t say enough about Emerald Coast Catering. Gary Serafin out did himself creating a creative, delicious and festive Mexican theme dinner.

Excellent Service!! Highly Recommend!
I was planning a destination wedding and selected this vendor solely on reviews and hoped for the best. & they did NOT disappoint me! They went above and beyond! We purchased an economy menu for our reception because we had a lower budget. The food was absolutely delicious and Gary and his team took over! They only had the approach me twice the entire night; once to let me know the food was ready to be served and once to let me know they were done and were going to put away our left overs. They served all of my guests' plates, walked around to make sure everyone had eaten, collected the trash, took the trash with them, and cleaned up like nobody had ever been there! All of the utensils were of great quality too! I would HIGHLY recommend. I received several compliments throughout the night in regards to the taste and service. Gary was also very responsive throughout my entire planning process. I would e-mail him and he would get back with me the same day in most cases; never longer than 1 full day.

Excellence
We feel that we were very fortunate to learn about ECC. Their professionalism and food preparation is stellar. Gary was easy to work with, always responsive, and on top of things. He knows what he is doing and his advice on the layout was very valuable. Don’t be afraid to be specific with him regarding your desires, right down to requesting a jovial and pleasant team of staffers, for their behavior can make or break the ambience of your event. I highly recommend ECC for their gourmet food, fair pricing, and professionalism.We feel that we were very fortunate to learn about ECC. Their professionalism and food preparation is stellar.

Gary and the ECC crew did an excellent job. This was the first wedding I’ve ever planned and they held my hand and guided me through the whole process, were very patient, listened to my ideas, and were respectful of my wants and needs. Quick to respond to my questions. Very fair & upfront about pricing. They showed up promptly to our event, were so professional, and took care of all the details so beautifully so that I could relax and enjoy my night. The food was delicious, the service was great.
