Becky and Simply Gourmet Caterers are literally the sweetest vendors I've had the pleasure of hiring. They go above and beyond for their couples. The staff was so kind to my guests and other vendors. They made sure that we were able to taste all the food we has on our wedding day. Becky brought over a plate of appetizers for my husband and I try have while we were taking pictures during cocktail hour. She was incredibly sweet and truly took care of us and our guests. My guests still rave about their beef tips appetizers and desserts.

I worked with Jaime and Becky at Simply Gourmet and they made the day flow seemlessly. Simply Gourmet was referred to us after our original caterer had to break up with us, no hard feelings at all towards them. In fact our original caterer is the one who referred Simply Gourmet. Jaime was so incredibly helpful in assisting with timeline for the day and helping to keep me on task, which I appreciated as I found the planning process to be very overwhelming. She was attentive to detail and made sure we managed to add time for us to eat on the schedule. Living in another state Jaime was very good at communicatiung with us and even arranged a tasting for my mother and niece since we were not able to make it. The food was sooooo incredibly delicious. I had so many compliments about the food after the wedding, the goat cheese appetizer was a fan favorite for sure. On the day Becky was our go to person and she was such a delight and fun person to work with. My husband and I were not expecting... Read more the level of personal attention Becky gave us. While we were getting our portarits taken Becky was there right along with us with drinks waiting. My husband even commented that he felt like Thor .. he would put out his hand and his drink would appear! HAHA! It was a true pleasure working with these ladies. I would recommend them to any brides I know. I am so grateful they were able to step in and help with our day. Their dedication to making this a great experience will not be forgotten.

We hired Simply Gourmet for our daughter's wedding, and they were Simply Amazing! At the tasting we met Becky and decided we also needed her to be the wedding coordinator. Becky worked with us to create a very elegant event and delicious meal within our budget. She had great ideas and confidence that put our minds at ease. She helped us to have a plan A, B, and C for weather, and thank goodness because we ended up needing to use plan B. Jamie also helped coordinate the ceremony at the church, and her quick thinking saved the day when we forgot a boutonniere for the singer, she quickly fashioned one out of left over flowers! When we arrived at the venue, for pictures, we were greeted by Becky and staff with drinks and yummy appetizers. Our guests were inside having a great time and being well taken care of, they commented that the bar tenders remembered their drinks and had them ready as they approached. The dining service was impeccable. Becky had the venue looking gorgeous, a floor pl... Read morean that kept the guests engaged and having fun, the vendors coordinated with a timeline, a calm confidence, and a staff that was there to please. Simply Gourmet and Becky exceeded our expectations with the food and service!

Jamie and staff is truly great at what they do. They went above and beyond and dealt with all the planning for the day of. They were hardly seen unless it was necessary. Made the guests feel comfortable and welcome. The praise we received from guests and family was a resounding success. We are forever grateful for all the memories created because of the staff’s professionalism, skill, and attention to detail to really make our day special.

Simply Gourmet & Becky were absolutely incredible! We used them for a Friday night "welcome party" and our wedding and both events were incredible. The food tasted exactly like it did at the tasting and the cheese board/table they did for the Friday night cocktail party was beyond! I got so many compliments on the wedding food and everything was hot & as expected. We chose the day-of wedding planner service and it was worth every penny. Becky made everything seem so easy and calm and kept the night moving. To me, everything went off without a hitch (and if it didn't, Becky did an INCREDIBLE job of making me feel calm). Becky was great at communicating and her & her team did an excellent job of executing our vision. We had a lot of personal touches (handmade by my mother) and Becky & her team made sure they were placed & ready to go at the venue. She did an excellent job managing our other vendors as well. I cannot recommend Simply Gourmet & Becky enough!

The food was delicious. The staff was wonderful. They made our wedding that much better! Jerry was our bar tender and he had a great personality. He made our day. Everyone was wonderful. Would highly recommend Simply Gourmet!!

Becky Souflis and the catering team at Simply Gourmet made planning easy and fun! The groom and I were put totally at ease and well taken care of on the day of the wedding; Becky made sure we wanted for nothing! From start to finish everything was absolutely seamless and perfect! Our guests are still raving about the delicious meal!

The food and wedding coordination was amazing. Becky did such a fantastic job. Worked with our changing of the menu several times and always responsive. On our wedding day, Becky kept everything organized and even removed a huge foot print stain from my dress. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you for making our day so effortless and smooth for us!

I seriously cannot recommend Simply Gourmet highly enough. They did an AMAZING job throughout the whole planning process and were fabulous on the day of the wedding as well. We primarily worked with Becki, and I cannot say enough good things about her. First, the food was AMAZING. We had chicken (so tender!), green beans (cooked to perfection), rolls (everyone LOVED), salad with amazing dressing, baked ziti (my fave!!), and brownies and amarettos (to die for!). Our hor d'oeuvres were amazing as well. Our venue had a rule that the caterer must handle all of the rentals (chairs/lights/heaters/linens), and Simply Gourmet did an excellent job ordering all of the rentals and making sure they were set up. On the day of, the staff was so friendly and kind and treated not only the wedding party, but also the guests like kings and queens. Not only does Simply Gourmet offer 5 star service, they also are so affordable and will work with you on pricing. CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH. If you are f... Read morerom the Sarasota area or are getting married in the Sarasota area, you want this vendor at your wedding!!! 10/10

I had the pleasure of working with Becky and she was great! She went above and beyond for me during my planning process. I planned my wedding from out of state and she was so easy to communicate with. During our tasting they whole staff treated us so well, and the food was amazing! We worked with Chef Will, he was great as well. On our wedding day Becky made sure a server focused on my husband and I to ensure we ate and didn't miss out on appetizers during pictures. When we sat down for dinner we even had a plate with every appetizer to make sure we tried everything. We had just under 200 guests, dinner was served very timely and everyone loved their food. I highly recommend Simply Gourmet Caterers, thank you Becky!

Amazing experience with Simply Gourmet. Becky also acted as our day of coordinator. Several of my bridal party commented that hiring her to make sure everything ran smoothly was the best money we spent! We chose a Mexican themed buffet and the food was so delicious! Simply Gourmet has servers at the buffet so you don't have to balance your drink, your plate, and attempt to serve yourself at the same time. Becky also made sure that the bridal party had appetizers and drinks while we were taking pictures....such a nice touch! We bought our own alcohol and hired Bill the bartender through Simply Gourmet. My guests were so impressed that he remembered their drinks each time they went back to the bar! And when we got back to our room for the night, we found leftovers in the refrigerator. Very thoughtful. Thanks to Becky and Simply Gourmet, we truly had the perfect wedding day.

I hired simply gourmet catering for my wedding catering after our first tasting, the food was absolutely delicious and it truly set them apart from the other caterers in the area. We also chose Jamie as our wedding coordinator. I am in graduate school and got married in the middle of it (YA IM CRAZY LOL), so without her help I don't know how I would have done it all! She was very organized and super prompt when answering emails. It is apparent she has a ton of experience under her belt! She was able to help us come up with Plan A, B, and even C if weather conditions were to change the day of the wedding --- and they did!! We were so happy with everything Jamie did-- from coordinating with all the vendors, making sure we were staying on timeline, and even saving us food that we missed out on eating because we were so busy getting pictures done!! Overall A+ rating!! Thanks again for everything Simply Gourmet! We highly recommend !

My wife and I recently got married and spent a lot of time trying to find the right caterer for this big event. We reached out to many caterers but ended up going with Simply Gourmet for many reasons. They were quick in their response back to us, their pricing was very reasonable, they put together a taste testing for us which made all the difference. Their food was amazing and the portions were perfect not to much food and not to little. They also make the most amazing amaretto cookies I have ever had. Since we did not have the money to hire a complete wedding planner we used Simply Gourmets Day of Wedding services. Jamie the owner did such a great job at organizing our wedding and making sure everything was on time. She followed up with our vendors as well to ensure they knew what times to be there and where to setup. It allowed my wife and I to just sit back relax and enjoy our day without worrying about the wedding. Their catering staff was top notch to, they were very punctual and... Read more professional. The waitresses were kind and helpful to all of our guests and when the wedding was over, they made sure everything was cleaned up and looked like it did when we arrived. This allowed us to get our deposit back from the venue. If your contemplating and procrastinating over which caterer to go with, you will be extremely satisfied if you choose Simply Gourmet. They also have many contacts in the rental area for weddings. You can get everything you need from food, drinks, chairs, tables, plates, glasses, linens and of course their top notch service all in one place with them. Do yourself a favor and go with Simply Gourmet, save yourself the headache you might get from other caterers. You will have the best wedding every if you do. Thank you Jamie, Becky and the Simply Gourmet team for making our wedding so special and allowing us to enjoy this memorable day with our friends and family. You guys are the best!!!

I hired Becky and her staff at Simply Gourmet after paying a deposit then terminating the contract, with the in house caterer at my wedding venue, The Powel Crolsey Estate. I explained the situation with Becky, and she was able to not only match what the previous caterer was going to provide, but also added a discount as our wedding was on a weekday. The same chef that prepared the meal at the tasting, is the same chef that cooks on the wedding day, unlike the caterer I initially hired. The food at the tasting and on the wedding day was delicious. I received so many compliments about the food. While taking bridal party photos on the wedding staff, Becky designated a wait staff to serve us appetizers and water during breaks! Simply Gourmet's pricing is similar to other caterers in the area, but what sets them apart is their professionalism and quality of the food. They can customize a menu based on what you want as well.
