If there was a sixth star i would use it! Carolina is hands down the most understanding and flexible person to work with! I have used her before for corporate event with a headcount of 300+ and it was always phenominal! This time we were needing catering for a Celebration Of Life for my wife's grandpa, It was small ~100 people. We wanted just appetizers, drinks and desserts. After selecting our appetizers, drinks and cupcakes we were sent the invoice. She included full service for two hours, she didn't want us to worry about anything. We have someone who is allergic to gluten and Carolina was more than accommodating. The day of service the caterers showed up EARLY!!!! How awesome! They were ready to go and I showed them where to set up and reminded them about the allergy. The display was amazing, it was so beautiful and more than we could ask for (pictures). The servers were on top of it, the food was being plated as people took it to make sure it was fresh (no chaffing dishes)! When the allergy plate needed to be made they changed thier gloves and went above and beyond to serve. We got rave reviews on the food from everyone! 10/10 for these guys! They are rock stars.

Where do I begin? Gourmet Lovers is AMAZING! We got married 2/23/19 with 110 guests. I had narrowed it down to 2 catering companies and decided to go with Gourmet even before trying the food because Carolina treated us like we were family. She was always available by email and phone. She worked with our budget. She made it such a stress free process! She even made time for us the day before Thanksgiving to meet with her and go over a tentative plan for the wedding. And even though the holiday season is crazy, Carolina and her husband made time for us to do a tasting BEFORE Christmas!! Talk about phenomenal customer service! We told Carolina a head of time some options we wanted to try out for the food tasting and of course they cooked us even more so we could get a better idea of what we wanted! The food was AMAZING :) We asked her if we could just come by and have dinner at their place every week!! Wedding guests were coming up to my husband and I during the wedding and telling us how amazing the food was and how incredible the cake tasted!! Gourmet lovers had excellent service from start to finish. They integrated seamlessly with the flow of all the activity on the big day. They were beyond professional. A big shout to Gustavo who took care of my husband and I the entire night. He made sure we ate, drank, and always had what we needed. They truly deserve more than 5 stars! Thank you Gourmet Lovers for making our day perfect! read more

One of the best decisions I made was having Gourmet Lovers Catering cater my wedding. Every single thing was delicious! We received so many compliments that day on the tastiness of the passed appetizers and the delicious dinner. My now-husband and I were in heaven at the food trial. It was so hard to decide on our final dishes since everything was great. Our dinner was actually one of the main things I was looking forward to at our wedding :) I also cannot speak highly enough of Carolina's professionalism and flexibility. I went in not knowing what we wanted, or how everything was going to work but Carolina was patience, worked me through multiple calls and emails and let me know this important part of our wedding was in good hands. Her and the staff hustled the whole day! I cannot be more thankful for them. I hope I get to use them again soon! read more

I am so glad My husband and I found Gourmet Lovers Catering for our wedding last year. Carolina went above and beyond to make sure our wants and needs were met! Even a year later, Gourmet Lovers Catering continues to impress us with their attention to detail and exceptional customer service. They provided us with a delicious anniversary cake. My husband and I would recommend them for a small gathering or a large scale event. Not only do they have a knack for flavor, their presentation is impeccable! Thank you Carolina and team for making us feel valued. We appreciate you! read more

I was so happy we picked Gourmet Lovers Catering to cater for my 50th Birthday Party last night! Since it was a dance party, we ordered a variety of appetizers, cake an a couple of mini desserts, and couldn't have been happier with the turnout. Carolina was the most helpful in the planning process, helping with my selections, making suggestions on popular items and identifying gluten free options for some guests, adjusting quantities, as well as helping with table and linen rentals. She even had a great recommendation for a bartender! Carolina was always available for questions, changes, very professional, and made the process very painless. Boris and his team arrived on time and the setup was very smooth. The servers were very attentive and kept passing trays, making sure everyone was offered an array of appetizers. The selections were very tasty and we all really enjoyed them. The only thing I would have liked different was for some items that were tray passed to be served on little plates rather than grabbed, such as the stuffed mushrooms which can get a little messy. But otherwise service was flawless. The cake and mini dessert cups were amazing! I send a very rough design of the cake I wanted to Carolina, and they executed it beyond my expectations! And it was delicious! (we picked marbled cake with chocolate ganache and italian meringue icing). I should have stuck to Carolina's initial suggestion of just a 1/2 sheet for 50 guests a lot of guests don't eat cake (pity :) so the extra 1/4 sheet I decided to order just in case was too much. Good thing I love cake! The mini s'mores and banana fosters were very popular. Carolina even agreed to make the s'mores gluten free. The 2 servers Sofia and Gustavo were amazing, making sure we always had what we needed throughout the evening. They even helped us tear down, clean up and organize everything once the party was over. It was such a treat! read more

I could not be more impressed with this catering service. They were constantly in communication with me, they showed up on time, they help set up when they did not have to, and the food was delicious. We had very little left over, everyone really enjoyed the food. I wish I would've had just a little more leftover because it was so good. Are use them for my daughter's bridal shower and we will be using them for the wedding also! read more

Gourmet Lover's Catering - Delicious delicious delicious - Caterers Near Me - Orange, California

Gourmet Lovers Catering is without the best caterers in town. We have used them, Boris the Chef and Carolina the pastry magician at least for four different occasions and have nothing but great things to say. Boris is a master Chef, Carolina prepares the great looking/tasting cakes and the serving staff is always very respectful and hardworking. My wife and I was celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary and had approximately 85-90 in attendance and everyone raved how delicious the appetizers, dinner and dessert was all evening. The serving staff kept the trash cleaned up and was constantly picking up used dishes and glasses and disposing them. At the end of the when everyone left, there was very little for us to have to clean up. I highly recommend this company for any event large or small! Dennis read more

Hired Gourmet Lovers Catering to make our wedding cake for our wedding this past Saturday. Carolina was great to work with from start to finish! Her cakes not only look great but taste delicious too! I told her what I had in mind for our wedding cake and she brought my idea to reality. I was so happy to see how our cake had turned out when she dropped it off at our venue and after she added the flowers and finishing touches I knew I had made the right choice by having Gourmet Lovers Catering make our cake for our special day. Carolina went above and beyond my expectations. Our cake looked great and tasted great too! read more

Gourmet Lover's Catering - Loved our wedding cake! Carolina brought my idea to reality. Pineapple Coconut flavor and Cookies and Cream. Delicious! - Caterers Near Me - Orange, California

My husband and I are from the Orange area so when we were planning our engagement party we wanted to use a local business. After searching we decided to go with Gourmet Lovers Catering. Unfortunately, a week before our event we had to cancel because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Carolina was very accommodating and allowed us to reschedule. Over a year and a half later we used Gourmet Lovers to create a dessert bar for our wedding. I received so many compliments on how everything looked and tasted amazing. Would highly recommend! read more

Gourmet Lovers Catering is truly as good as it gets! Our wedding planner found Gourmet Lovers and hooked us up with Carolina. She works on the customer service end, and her husband is the chef. Carolina was so easy to work with, and we were able to find a great menu solution for our budget and fancy tastes! The best part is that our cake was free with the catering services! Carolina used to work in a bakery and makes decadent cakes. Although, she charged us a little extra, because we wanted a very detailed extravagant design. However, it still saved us over $500! Overall, I would 100% recommend Gourmet Lovers Catering for their superior customer service, taste and presentation of the food. PS. We recommend the Argentinian Empanadas for an appetizer. Truly amazing and unique! read more

Gourmet Lover's Catering - Exactly what we wanted! - Caterers Near Me - Orange, California

We hired them for our wedding cake and some appetizers. They are so easy to work with and prices are really good. Many of our guests were jealous of us because of the savings we got yet we had the best cake ever!! My wife is very picky and she is also a control freak. She wanted every details to be of her own so my wife took pictures from the internet and "build" her own cake design. Carolina had no issue following the design and gave us some good tips in terms of flavors. See our photos here read more

These guys were awesome! I'm an Event Coordinator for an HOA Community and put on a Casino Night for about 150 people. Everybody raved about the food and how delicious it was! Thank you GLC for making me look so good!! I will most definitely use their services again and again. I really appreciated Carolina's customer service and willingness to work with me on short notice. She took the time to help me coordinate a menu that suited our needs and explained all the details of the food I chose. The entire staff I encountered were top notch and a pleasure to work with. The prices were so reasonable for such exceptional quality! Everything was not only very professional, but so delicious and beautifully presented! I'll definitely be using them again for future events & for my own personal gatherings and parties! read more

I contacted at least 9 catering companies for an event for 150 people taking place in two weeks and Gourmet Lovers was by far the best! Customer Service: Carolina the co-owner, contacted me with in minutes of me sending a request through yelp. She answered all my questions sent me all the information I needed and followed up promptly. She accommodated all my requests although it was a last minute event and gave me suggestions for the menu and time line of the event. Service: Carolina put together appetizers, dinner, waiters and the bar tender service which saved a lot of time and it made everything super easy. Their set up was beautiful and we got a ton of compliments. The waiters were amazing, very professional, hard working, polite and organized. The bartender was personable and new how to make every drink posible including a virgin mango pineapple drink that was delicious. The food: this was the best part! Everyone loved the food, we got comments from many of our guests about how much they loved the food. Everything was absolutely delicious. I recommend the quesadilla as an appetizer, the roast and Chipotle mash potatoes for dinner. I wish they had a restaurant so I could go eat there every day! Price: The price was extremely reasonable for the quality of food, absolutely worth it. I almost chose someone else that was a little cheaper but based on the follow up I received from Carolina I knew I could expect better service from her company. The entire experience was excellent, I will be using Gourmet Lovers for all my future events and will recommend to all my friends. Choose gourmet lobers you will not regret it!!! read more

AaaMaazing !!! I wish I could give them 10 stars ! From the first moment we spoke to Carolina, about an in home party with sit down dinner for 30, she had it covered ! This was just before the Christmas Holiday that we were planning and we wanted the party just after Christmas. Even through the craziness of the holidays for them, Carolina stayed in touch with me to make sure we covered all of the details. Chef Boris was wonderful He stayed to plate and help serve our meal. Which was fantastic, I must say ! We also wanted a server at our party they sent Gustavo ! Bravo Gustavo !! He did a fantastic job for us as well. Served our guests, poured drinks, and cleaned up. I did not have to pickup, clean up or toss any trash !!! Hiring Gourmet Lovers Catering was the best decision! We defiantly will use them again ! read more

RELIABLE! DELICIOUS! PROFESSIONAL! ON TIME! Those are a few of the words that come to mind when I think of the team at Gourmet Lovers. The food was amazing! People are still talking about the chicken and mashed potatoes. Carolina and her husband went above and beyond to deliver seriously delicious food and cake at a fair price. She and her husband made everything easy. They were on time, got back to us on all our concerns very quickly. I can't say enough about how professional they are. They do not mess around when it comes to delivering great customer service and great food. Some of our guests said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Our cake was amazing, we had the vanilla cake and pineapple filling and I don't even like pineapple but good god it was delicious. GROOMS: demand the "Groomzilla Special", it's "spa water" and "room temperature butter" and let her know Tony sent you. read more

So this review is LONG over due but I did want to say THANK YOU to Gourmet Lovers Catering for helping me with my wedding. Carolina was amazing shes passionate about her work which really shows when you talk to her. She helps you figure things out when you're not sure how things should go. When we did our tasting she didnt rush us at all and let me and my then fiance take our time to decide what we liked most. She was really flexible with our schedules as well even it was just for a payment she was there for us. We ended up getting a naked vanilla cake with the raspberry filling with berries all around which was delicious! For dinner we did chicken picata, mixed veggies and strawberry salad which was also delicious price wise it was a really good deal, the cake was free except for the berries on top but still though how often do you get a free wedding cake with your dinner package?! Now a year later shes doing our anniversary cake and she isnt charging us at all. So thank you Carolina and Gourmet Lovers for everything you did before, during and after our wedding! read more

We hired Gourmet Lovers Catering for our wedding last summer to supplement with kid's menu food and coffee bar which wasn't provided by my original caterer.

Chef Boris Guardado and Carolina are incredible! They were highly recommended from a trusted family friend and from our first communication, they were warm, excited for our wedding and extremely professional. It is clear they are very experienced and love good food, but they have a unique ability to translate our tastes into dishes that we would enjoy--from the first tasting to the actual wedding day. During the wedding, everything was prepared and served exactly on schedule, just as it had been prepared for us during tastings. Their team of servers were professional and courteous, well prepared and it was clear that there was clear communication between the kitchen and servers. Our guests gave us extensive feedback on the food itself, commenting that it was a delicious departure from typical wedding fare. The wedding cake was also incredibly delicious. Both the look and the taste perfectly met our expectations. Gourmet Lovers Catering went above and beyond, working with us to achieve the wedding of our dreams and within our budget. They even brought us an anniversary cake on our first year anniversary! We are truly grateful to have been able to work with them and have already recommended to friends without reservation. read more

As promised, Carolina gave my husband and I our 1 year anniversary cake. It was absolutely beautiful and was the exact same components of our original cake. We were so surprised that she took the time to re-create a small scale version of our cake. It was just as delicious as we remembered it being. I can not press how much Carolina has gone above and beyond to make sure that my husband and I were happy. I cannot wait to have Carolina create my baby shower cake. read more

We loved working with Carolina for our wedding! We had the idea to use flower designed cupcakes for our table centerpieces and she was able to deliver something more than we had envisioned. They turned out beautifully and tasted great! We received many compliments from our guests about her cupcakes and design. From the beginning, she provided us a tasting session and we tried various flavors of cakes and icings to determine what we wanted. On the day of the wedding, she was on time with her team, set everything up nicely and was easy to work with. And here's the icing on the cake...Carolina was so sweet to remember our anniversary one year later. She contacted us and baked us an anniversary cake for us to celebrate! I would definitely have Carolina and her catering again for upcoming events. read more

I had talked to Chef Carolina on the phone prior to hiring her & her husband Chef Boris to do a Xmas breakfast buffet for 95 people. Everything went smoothly and their sous chef was on point servicing food to 80+ kids & 15 adults. I was very pleased with their exceptional services. From the petite pasties, eggs, homemade burritos, sausages, bacon, potatoes & salsa was delicious! We had sooo much food leftover that we were able to feed 10+ more people.
