Gourmet Galley Catering 

4.5

  • Serves Essex, CT

We love weddings. We love them big and fancy or sweet and simple. We love brides who agonize over the size of their train, their pearls and their bouquets and we love brides who call up and say, “Let’s have a clambake at my dad’s beach house!” Celebrate everything—family reunions, birthdays, bridal and baby showers, anniversaries, retirement parties and just plain why-not? parties. Whether the whole clan is getting together for a long weekend or you’re having a sit down dinner for 20 just to honor some long and beautiful friendships, let us make the party that suits you.

Gourmet Galley catered our dream wedding at the Rosecliff Mansion in Newport 3 weeks ago. Everything was amazing! Food, drinks, service – everything. Gourmet Galley eagerly incorporated all the personal touches we wanted, and worked wonderfully with the Preservation Society to make sure all their requirements were met. The bakery that Gourmet Galley works with (Zest Fresh Pastry) did a fantastic job with our wedding cake (red velvet in true 1920's style). Our guests raved about the food and service!!!! Sarah was our contact person at Gourmet Galley, and she also served as our wedding coordinator for the month leading up to and actually on the big day. She kept me sane and made sure everything flowed perfectly. Highly recommend.

Awarded Best of Zola
Keane’s was absolutely amazing! The food was beyond delicious. I’ve been to so many weddings where I can’t even remember the food, but I had been to two weddings catered by them prior to mine and their food stuck with me. I knew I had to have them for my own wedding, and they did not disappoint. One of the best parts was that they also provided an event coordinator. Alicia, my day of coordinator, was incredible! She was in touch with me months before the wedding, answering every single one of my questions, and on the day of she made everything run so smoothly. From the ceremony to the reception, she had everything perfectly organized, and I never had to stress. The catering staff was professional, attentive, and truly wonderful. They set up, cleaned up, and cleaned made sure everything was flawless. Our friends and family are still raving about how amazing the food was. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Working with Jackie was an absolute delight. From our very first conversation, she was incredibly easy to communicate with, responding quickly and attentively to all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, her care and attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the catering. Jackie even went the extra mile by adding our wedding date to the cheese sticks, which was such a thoughtful personal touch. She clearly puts her heart into her work, and it shows - the food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. She also decorated the table around our wedding theme, and even included a fresh bouquet of flowers that our grandma was thrilled to take home. The entire experience with On Board CT was truly special, and we are so grateful for Jackie and the role she played in making our wedding day unforgettable.

Old World Pizza Truck

  • Starts at $2,000

We started Old World Pizza Truck with our beloved old '42 Chevy, built and designed with a passion for entertaining and food in mind. Our fleet consists of four international diesel trucks, ready to serve both local and long range parties all across Connecticut, parts of New York, and Massachusetts. All trucks have basically the same equipment including powerful sound systems for those of you that like music at your affairs. They all are self sufficient with onboard generators, coolers, freezers and running water. No matter which truck is sent, the total experience is the same- great food, great music, lots of fun and unsurpassed service!

The amount of compliments I have received on the food at my wedding is too many to count! My only complaint is that I didn’t get to try more pizzas! We booked Old World Pizza Truck for dinner service and cocktail hour charcuterie and boy did they deliver. Even the skeptics (“pizza at your wedding?!”) came back to tell us what a phenomenal and unique meal it was. To quote one of my guests, “That pizza truck was genius. Did I tell you that the dessert pizza with peanut butter, jelly and bacon made my list of best things I’ve ever eaten that sounds completely disgusting?” Would book 10x over. Better than a 150 mediocre plated dinner by a mile.
