The Perfect Tasting Experience
•Verified review
•Brittany O.•Jan 27
We could not have asked for a better tasting experience! John & Julie were welcoming the second we arrived and continued to provide amazing service throughout the tasting. John explained each dish perfectly and provided options on how to best accomidate every single one of our guests. The food was cooked to perfect and went above & beyond our expectations. Julie goes through the paper work side in such perfect detail, we didnt even have questions after! The tasting takes place right in the prep kitchen which provides piece of mind as the setting was clean, neat, and organized. The flow of the tasting was perfect and we left feeling like old friends, not first time acquaintances. If you're still on the fence, think about this. John is so confident in his food, he provides free tastings because it really hooks you in! 10/10. So glad we found Tailgate Gourmet Catering.
Great Menu Options!

John and Julie have been great with helping us create our menu. The tasting was great! Very organized and professional. John explained everything in detail that we were tasting and the many different varieties or accommodations that can be made with food allergies! Even though we do not have a need for this - it is truly thoughtful. At the end of the tasting Julie went into great detail about how the preparation for and food service distribution would go. For a bride with a million and one questions in her head this is so great to hear and puts all your worries to bed! I would 100% recommend Julie and John’s services if you are a bride looking for one less thing to worry about on your special day. Great food…. “check!” Our wedding isn’t until 10/16/26. I’ll be sure to post another review after the fact!
Amazing tasting!

From the first inquiry, John’s responses were quick and he answered any questions I had. Without us being sure about booking yet, he still offered a free menu tasting that we scheduled for the same week. Our families were even allowed to come. Everything was super professional. The food was amazing, very flavorful and cooked with love. John and his assistant Julie were very thorough explaining how things work, it’s clear they aren’t newbies to the wedding world. The passion and care they have towards the business and food is amazing; it helped sell us on picking them for our wedding. It is higher than our budget initially planned for, but we know the food and service will be top notch on our special day. Plus, they’ll be cooking the food outdoors on live fire. That takes skill!
We love Tailgate Catering!

Tailgate Gourmet Catering was an absolute pleasure to work with for our upcoming December 2026 wedding. From the moment we reached out, their communication was clear, timely, and professional. John and Julie were incredibly helpful and communicative, even offering us a complimentary tasting to ensure the menu was perfect for our special day. We are looking forward to having them cater our special day, and we know it will be a huge hit with all our guests!
