  Hemingway Home Wedding 10-9-22 ♥️

  The food was amazing!!! All the guests told us how much they liked the food. My biggest regret for the wedding day is not getting to eat enough of it! Everything flowed smoothly the evening of, the staff were very kind. Prior to the wedding the catering company responded to all my questions very quickly. This was an intimate wedding, about 18 people. I would definitely recommend!

  10/10 Would Recommend

  Incredible. We hired Great Events Catering for our 1/22/22 Wedding and they knocked it out of the park. We were planning our wedding from afar and Great Events was super east to work with. Melissa in particular was fabulous- she was responsive and accommodating. Ourselves and our guests were blown away by the food - many particularly raved about the mini chicken and waffles and bacon wrapped goat cheese stuffed dates. The entrees were generous in size, delicious and served hot. The desserts were the perfect sweet ending to the evening. Service was 10/10. Thank you Great events!

  Delicious food and great staff!

  The food was amazing!! They cooked on site so everything was fresh and delicious. From the apps to dinner, everyone was talking about how good the food was - and many guests even went up for seconds! The staff was great too. They were very friendly and had perfect timing (never wondered when the next app was coming out, or during dinner when the next person was going to be able to eat). And the two head staff were amazing! They made sure we (bride and groom) had food and drinks at all times during the dinner. They got our drinks, made our plates, and offered to help with any other requests. Highly recommend Great Events!

  AMAZING Food and Service

  Great Events Catering did such a great job with the food at our wedding! They were so easy to work with and were always so timely in answering our questions during the wedding planning process.
  We went with a stations menu and everyone LOVED it. They are still talking about the appetizers and dinner and our wedding was 2 months ago! The servers were also amazing! They did a phenomenal job passing out the appetizers during cocktail hour and they even hand-delivered a meal to one of our guests who has trouble getting around on her own without anyone having to ask them to do so. Truly amazing. The servers also walked my husband and I through the stations and brought our meals to our sweetheart table to us. They were great checking in on all of our guests and making sure everyone was satisfied with their meals.
  We also had 2 vegetarians attend our wedding and they were able to accommodate a different (and apparently amazing) vegetarian meal for those guests!
  They also set up all of the tables, chairs, linens, and napkins for our wedding and it looked amazing! I would definitely recommend Great Events for a wedding!!

  Best Wedding Food We’ve Ever Had

  After the tasting, I thought about their food weekly. We were nervous that the quality of the food wouldn’t translate to buffet style and boy were we wrong! The food was DELICIOUS and the staff made sure we got our share. Our guests kept telling us how much they enjoyed the food. The short braised rib was to die for. On top of that, Julie and her team made this process a breeze and were very professional. Cannot recommend enough!

  Great food for micro wedding!

  We hired Great Events for our micro wedding (food for 10 people), and it was absolutely wonderful! We worked with Great Events to select exactly what we wanted, and it was perfect.

  PHENOMENAL Food, Drinks & Service

  Great Events provided the best food I’ve ever had. All of our guests were raving about it and it didn’t taste at all like “wedding food”. From the appetizers, to the entrees, drinks and EXCEPTIONAL service, I HIGHLY recommend using Great Events if DELICIOUS food is important to you at your wedding/event.

  Best Wedding Food we've Ever Had

  I cannot thing of enough good things to say about Great Events catering. We were married at Old Town Manor and had several events throughout the weekend and Great Events catered every single one. On Thursday evening we help a Welcome Reception with heavy hordeurves and Great Events offered drop catering. The food was DELICIOUS. The following night we had our plated rehearsal dinner and it was just as fabulous. All of the food was fresh, warm, and so stinkin good. Saturday night Great Events also provided our reception catering. People were coming up to us during and after the event to let us know how wonderful the food was. All food was prepared on-site that very same day, the staff was professional, and the entire company was incredible to work with. I have never had wedding food taste this good and I'm so glad we went with Great Events!

  Great Events did an amazing job catering our wedding at Truman Little White House!

  Great Events did a wonderful job catering our wedding at Truman Little White House! From my first phone call with Aleksandra to our fun and delicious tasting experience, and then throughout the entire process leading to our special day, it was simple, fun and met my budget expectations! This was a destination wedding, so I had to plan remotely with a few visits to Key West, but Aleksandra and then Julie were available to answer all questions and were so accommodating on any changes or adjustments to the menu! Then, on our wedding day, the food, staff, bartender and banquet captain were outstanding! Professional, accommodating and super nice! Both my fiancé and me did not want for a thing the entire evening. And our guests are still talking about the mashed potato bar!

  Flavors that would rival some top DC restaurants

  My. Chicken. Was. Very. Very. Good.
  
  Whew. Got that out of the way.
  
  Kind of. I am not done talking about that chicken. It was actually cooked through, very moist and still had a crispy skin. It was not your typical wedding chicken. Heck, this wasn’t your typical home cooked chicken. This was good.
  
  Enough about my chicken.
  
  Everybody asked us who was catering our wedding, and when we said Great Events, the response was always “Oh yeah. Oh hell yeah. That’s who you want to cater your wedding. And Aleks is amazing.” Every. Time.
  
  And they did not disappoint.
  
  We are huge foodies and live in a great town full of amazing restaurants. We, like many of our wedding guests, like to eat at the top restaurants, thus have quite high standards when it comes to food and service. And let's be honest, wedding food typically sucks. When was the last time you had a good cut of beef perfectly cooked or chicken that wasn’t dry at a wedding?
  
  We knew that we had to find the best caterer on the island, and we did.
  
  Here, there were no misses. From the appetizers to the fish, people ate everything. I’m talking clean plates. People were using the pop-overs (don’t get me started on these little fluffy pillows of heaven!!) to sop up the sauces. It was that good.
  
  I could go on and on about the compliments our foodie friends gave us about how surprisingly great everything was, but really, you should just refer back to my chicken comments and let that sink in for a moment.
  
  I also cannot say enough good things about the service. The staff was so friendly and beyond accommodating.
  
  We had welcome champagne flutes for our guests as they arrived and the wait staff continuously came to the staging area for the bridal party to make sure we also had champagne. Our glasses were never empty and the bartender did an exceptional and seamless job of alternating my vodka/soda with lime and club soda with lime (per my request). *this is a great hack if you wish to appear as though you are drinking but want to make it to your own after party*
  
  Now we are just trying to convince our friends to get married in Key West so we can eat more of that chicken...

  Amazing Food & Helpful Planning

  Great Events catered my wedding at Truman Little White House in Key West and I cannot recommend them enough - both the quality of food and the friendly and helpful team! From the beginning Aleks was absolutely fantastic to work with - she was incredibly patient with me through many changes and ideas about what I wanted, and she never made me feel it was inconvenient for her to revise a proposal while also providing really useful insight based on lots of experience. I ended up doing a station based meal with unassigned seating and I had rave reviews from friends and family on how good the food was - there was even a small competition on which app was better - the tacos or the arepas! The paella and the grill station were huge hits. I got to eat some of the steak myself and it was so tender and delicious - very fresh, especially compared to some other large catered events I have been to!

  They made my day flawless!

  From the first conversation I had with this company I knew they were going to be a great choice. I wanted a full taco bar for my wedding and they gave me so much more than I thought would even be possible. The food was completely outstanding. Every single guest told me it was the greatest food they've ever had at a wedding and some said it was some of the greatest food ever and asked if the caterer had a restaurant they could go to! I have sime dietary restrictions which they were sure to include in their planning process. They kept in touch with me over the entire year of planning, to ensure everything would be perfect. I gave them my budget and they worked with me completely, never trying to pressure me into additions that I couldn't afford. The tables were beautiful, the servers were on top of things, the bartender was extremely sincere....I don't jave a single complaint. Hands down, recommend these guys to anyone looking. I also went with their desserts instead of getting a wedding cake and everyone raved about how delicious and perfect these little treats were. Thank you Great Events for making my day memorable for many!!

  Had so many compliments!

  Great events catering was amazing! I asked for a taco bar and they pretty much came up for the menu for the rest. Everything was delicious and was presented in a very pretty way. I can’t tell you how many compliments I received. They also walked my husband and I through the line first and put together a plate for us and had a glass of wine waiting for us at our table which was super helpful because we were busy walking around talking to people. We had welcome margaritas that were amazing and their drink pours were substantial. The servers were great and never forgot to come back to us to ask if we wanted anymore of the welcome drink or hors d’oeuvres while we were busy taking pictures during cocktail hour. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

  Amazing food and service!!

  Great Events is amazing! My husband and I are big foodies so selecting our wedding caterer was a pretty big decision for us. We are so happy we found Great Events. Our guests are still raving about the the food at our wedding. Aleksandra was also really easy to work with. She quickly responded to every email and kept everything extremely organized. I had some pretty crazy requests for her and she was so accommodating. The service on our wedding day was also perfect. We cant recommend them enough! (photos by Care Studios)

  AMAZING catering company.

  My husband and I were never really too excited about the food for the wedding seeing how all the food we've ever had at a wedding has never been anything out of this world, just plain, bland food.
  
  BUT THEN, we had our tasting with great events and we were BLOWN AWAY!
  Fast forward to the wedding day: EVERYONE ate and most even served themselves to seconds. for the weeks that followed after the wedding most of our guests kept telling us how amazing the food at our wedding was. (That orzo mac and cheese is to die for! and don't even get me started on their open face quesadilla appetizers

  Best caterer in Key West for a reason

  Great Events was on a list of recommended caterers for our venue. We were initially worried about their prices, but after interacting with the other caterers, we knew that Great Events was the best option. Aleksandra was highly responsive and worked within our budget to come up with the best package for us. She was very detail oriented, which I liked as it meant she cared about the little things so that we wouldn't have to. The food at our wedding was spectacular. We had passed appetizers, an open bar and a buffet. The staff were extremely professional, and even though it wasn't a plated dinner, they went around to each table filling water glasses and checking in on the bride and groom to see if they needed anything. At one point one of our guests broke a glass and the staff cleaned it up promptly and made sure no one got hurt. Overall the service was beyond amazing. They are more expensive than other Key West caterers, but with Great Events you definitely get what you pay for.

  Exceptional food, service, and presentation

  I cannot gloat enough on the amazing food Great Events provided. Aleksandra and her staff are top notch. It seemed every guest commended the hors d'oeuvres and entrees from our reception....even the days following the wedding. Most of our guests are newly married and/or have attended countless weddings. Even still, the common compliment was that this was "the best wedding food they have ever had!" Aleksandra is so easy to work with and there are so many menu options and variations to choose from. She also accommodated one guest for us that has several food allergies. We could not have been more pleased. Thank you Great Events! 10/10 recommend!

  Words can’t describe the perfection!

  The people, the food, the setup.....perfection!! Everything was so tasty and looked great. Our appetizers were yummy!!!! The guacamole station was a big hit. The grill station was just what everyone wanted. There were lots of choices and all were great. Through the planning process everyone was so accommodating and prompt. I was planning from CT so it was all phone calls and emails. Everything was just perfect!

  Spectacular

  The food and service far exceeded our expectations. I was not stressed at all on the wedding day in part to our great vendors. And we heard many compliments from our guests about how great the food and service was at the wedding. The staff were very attentive to both our guests and the bridal party, we felt like royalty. We can’t thank you enough!

  Delicious food. Super responsive. Great service!

  Great Events played a huge role in making our day so beautiful and so memorable. Everyone raved about the food (and the beautiful presentation of it), and I especially appreciated how kind and attentive the servers/bartenders were. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. A special thanks to Aleksandra for making planning from afar so easy and stress-free! Her responsiveness and willingness to answer any and all questions was very much appreciated. We highly recommend, especially for out-of-town couples!

  Best Wedding Caterer!

  The entire experience working with Great Events was positive from the start. Aleksandra, the Event Sales Manager, is extremely professional, on top of things and helpful. She always answered my questions in a timely manner and worked with me to make sure our catering package was exactly what we wanted, giving us the most bang for our buck. We were blown away with her customer service. Fast forward to our wedding day, the food was perfection and the staff was extremely friendly. We received many compliments that our buffet was the best wedding food ever, especially the braised short ribs and guacamole station. I wish I could have went down to Key West for a tasting beforehand, not because I would have changed anything, but because I would have liked to savor the food before the craziness of our wedding day. Highly recommended!

  Easy, intimate, destination wedding reception

  Working with Aleksandra at Great Events Catering for our wedding reception was a breeze. We hosted a reception at our rental house and without laying eyes on the location or trying the food, Aleksandra was able to help us create a reception with beautiful tables, delicious good and professional, efficient service. They were able to provide us with a delicious vegan and gluten free menu. The staff at Great Events met with us the day before for final approval and planning and had everything ready for us when we returned from the wedding ceremony. Everyone at the reception commented on the quality and great taste of all the food. Thank you for taking the stress out of planning this destination wedding.
