When a Meal Blossoms Into One of Life's Unforgettable Moments...

Different and proud of it! At Simply Gourmet, Chef Larry and I love serving outrageous food and providing fantastic service – it is our passion. Weddings are about authenticity, love and commitment. As caterers to weddings and special events both big and small, we heartily embrace the symbolism of marriage in our planning services, our food preparations and our delivery. We will never cut corners. We will never over-promise and under-deliver. Our dishes are made with love and a true commitment to our client’s happiness. A wedding is a dream, a once in a lifetime experience. Being "good-enough" is never good-enough for us. We want your wedding to stand out above and beyond your wildest expectations. We want your guests to walk away remembering the most perfect day and the most perfect meal.

Yes, the details do matter. I take pride in personalizing your wedding menu; securing rentals for your reception and discussing the small details that help make your wedding a special day. Everything Simply Gourmet creates is authentic. Everything our brides and grooms see or taste is real. While other Sarasota area catering companies may prefer to use stock photography or mass produced food, we stand by our commitment to you, using only the freshest ingredients and introducing you to food created exclusively by Chef Larry and his staff. It is our honor to be a part of your wedding, your reception and your memories. Congratulations!
