    If you're getting married in Key West and want food that your guests will be raving about for years, look no further than Great Events Catering. We’re still getting texts and messages from guests saying it was some of the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding—or anywhere. Working with Melissa was a total dream. She was kind, professional, and incredibly attentive throughout the planning process. During our tasting, we had a small request to tweak one menu item to make it feel a bit more “us”—within 10 minutes they came back with an alternate version that was not only exactly what we were hoping for, but somehow even better than the original. Their flexibility and creativity blew us away. Another major win: the bar was included in the overall package, which made the decision a total no-brainer. The drinks were just as top-notch as the food, and the service all around was flawless. We were a little concerned at first that a full sit-down dinner might eat into our reception and dancing time—but those fears were quickly put to rest. The team was so organized and efficient, the evening flowed beautifully. Everyone had plenty of time to enjoy the meal without ever feeling rushed, and we still got to dance the night away just like we hoped. Truly, our only complaint is that Great Events Catering doesn’t have a storefront restaurant—because we would absolutely go back every time we visit Key West. We miss that food already! We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would recommend them to anyone who wants amazing food, seamless service, and a team that genuinely cares about making your wedding unforgettable.

    We've known Great Events for years and often had their food, which is always outstanding, but not had them do an event for us. I turned 60 this year and was planning a big party...but then COVID happened. We did a private chef dinner for just 4 of us - but it was made so special throughout. Julie was very concerned that I still get to have a great experience even in the middle of a pandemic. She had great suggestions and came up with just some fun options from table linens to wine pairings, to the great menu items. And of course, then there's Chef Dave's food. It's just over the top. Avocado salad with pickled watermelon, smoked beef tenderloin with warm mushroom salad and parmesan risotto and Triple chocolate naked cake with chocolate buttercream. I wanted chocolate cake - kinda like when I was a kid. Check out the pictures on Great Events website. I got what I asked for and then some! I also want to mention Dave's warm hospitality during the evening. With such a small group it could have been a little awkward - but he's just so warm and genuine that we all just really relaxed and let him take care of the evening for us. It really let us forget about the pandemic and all of the other worries and just relax and have a great time.
