From the first conversation I had with Vince to the planning phase with Linda, GHI demonstrated professionalism and care for my event. The day of the event the food truck arrived promptly and the two workers were so efficient and personable and very enjoyable to work with. This was a nice experience and the food was GREAT!

Amazing food, great quality! Looking for a caterer for a wedding is overwhelming. GHI made it much easier. I got quotes from about 6 caterers and GHI's food was top notch and their price was affordable. Some caterers were twice the price of GHI. They were accommodating to our gluten-free and vegan guests with LOTS of options that were clearly labeled. Guests LOVED the salmon. The coconut-infused risotto was a hit too! They made it seamless. Grateful to have found them for our wedding.

These guys were amazing, from the moment I spoke to the owner, to Amanda taking care of all my needs and them providing a food truck for 250 kid's birthday party guests. I was so busy not only did I not meet them, I also didn't taste a single food from the 11 item menu. My guests loved the food and I got so many compliments, you would think I cooked the food. They even gave my amazing nephew a tour of their food truck. Thank you GHI for making this event memorable, I just pray I have many more parties in the future so that I taste your amazing food. Everyone else took pictures but I didn't :(

GHI is almost your one-stop shop for everything you need regarding catering. They even focus on the small details of things such as folding your napkins if you want and helping to customize your menu with items you wouldn't typically find at a wedding. OUR MENU: was awesome. We requested the following food items: Mini Pimento Cheese and Virginia Ham Biscuits Thai Basil and Heirloom Bruschetta Apricot BBQ Cocktail Meatballs Hot House Baby Greens with Oven-Dried Golden Plum Tomatoes (Peach Blinis Vinaigrette and Pesto Ranch Dressing) 12 Hour Brisket with Jim Beam Peppercorn Cream Hickory Smoked Chicken Thighs with Smoked Peach Salsa Pasta Primavera Green Bean Steam with Onion, Pepper, tossed in Garlic and Butter Buttermilk and Black Pepper Masked Potatoes and 5 Pescatarian meals So regarding the food, I went to a tasting and the food wasn't 100% as it was at the tasting, but it was still great. What was different was the Pasta Primavera at the tasting was more of a cold salad type with bow pasta. However, at the ceremony, we had an elbow pasta dish that was warm with two types of cheese, one that was melted on top. So it was almost like mac and cheese but fancier and with some veggies. I had some that didn't favor it, but I liked it a lot! (lol) The other thing that was different was that there wasn't any or enough of the Jim Bean Sauce for the brisket. The beef had its own juices, but neither of my plates (not my husband's) had any of the sauce on it. So I am not sure if it was totally missing or just not on all of the meat. But the brisket was flavorful and tender so not a big deal, but I did miss it because it was yummy. We had a family-style set up at the tables with the salad. The dinner was set up buffet style, as well as, the items for cocktail hour. The venue had a bar, so I had that space set up for their bartender to use. All of that was set up awesomely. There was a small verbal spat between some staff members on the day of at some point that a couple of family members told me about. I am not sure 100% what that was about, but I didn't know about it until well after the ceremony, so I am pretty sure they were just trying to get things in order. The salesperson I worked with primarily, his name is Erett. He was great and very personable. Vince the Head Chef is super awesome. He even brought me a horderves plate at my ceremony. There were some small gestures that Erett mentioned they'd do that weren't done, like special cocktails for the Bride and Groom, as well as, some special hot sauce. We didn't get any of those things, but it wasn't a big deal. At least we were able to taste all of the food and have the signature cocktails that we set up for the bartender to serve. All and all, I loved using GHI. Their prices were great for the service and we used real china.
