My employer uses Great Circle very often at work for breakfast and lunches…read more I was very excited when my daughter told us they were one of the preferred catering companies that were authorized at her wedding venue and encouraged them to use Great Circle. Great Circle did not disappoint and treated us to simply amazing food and hospitality. The staff was extremely professional and almost invisible(in a good way) during the reception on September 1st at the Portsmouth Elks Club. We enjoyed a buffet with Braised Beef Short Ribs, Chicken Bellagio, Rice Pilaf, Seasonal Vegetables. For appetizers we enjoyed charcuterie platters.

So the day of my brother's rehearsal dinner has come and passed, and Great Circle Catering knocked…read moreit out of the park. All of our friends and family from all over the country couldn't stop raving about the food, and their new Tap Truck was a hit serving as both a source of ice cold draft beer and a conversation piece. As expected, the raw bar was top notch, and the tenderloin popovers, cheddar bites, bacon wrapped scallops, and deviled eggs were so tasty I barely had room left for the main course because I couldn't stop taking more! Our entree selections were similarly satisfying with a delicious chicken dish, glazed rainbow baby carrots, and their clam chowder being notable standouts. The sirloin carving station was a real hit, particularly with their fig and wilted arugula accomplishments, and Chef Ned's bright and engaging personality made this event really stand out with a friendly greeting and engaging conversation for all, both young and old. The whole team was exceedingly friendly and engaged, not cool and aloof like some service staff can be. I'd particularly like to give a shout-out to Jen who not only guided us through all of the planning steps leading up to the big day, but also was kind enough to go to the store after her set up was done and pick up more ice for us for our self-furnished beverage station. Many caterers would have treated this as a "not my problem"situation since we weren't paying them to provide beverages, but she went above and beyond to help ensure our event was a success. I have zero reservations about calling Jen at Great Circle for help planning our next big event and neither should you!

Sure enough, my now husband and I, had just cancelled our 02/2021 wedding due to COVID-19 and were feeling lost and overwhelmed. I immediately set up a meeting with Leslie and planned a WHOLE wedding in, I kid you not, FOUR months. Leslie is amazing. We had our wedding on 09.26.21. We have not received photos yet but will be sure to hopefully upload some to this review later on! Leslie helped everywhere from finding rehearsal dinner spot, florist, venue, and of course the actual rehearsal and day of plus much more. We would of never ever found our dream venue location and more without Leslie. I'm telling y'all, she's got CONNECTIONS. I could text or call her anytime with the craziest questions and she wouldn't even flinch. Our final meeting, we walked out of there so confident because we trusted Leslie wholeheartedly. Our day was the most special and LEAST stressful thanks to her. She truly covers all her bases and will take care of things that you never even think to cross your mind. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Leslie and her team IMMEDIATELY after engagement. She will make the planning process fool proof and ENJOYABLE. I jokingly said to my now husband that we will most definitely work with Leslie for our vow renewal ceremony after only being married 3 weeks LOL. Also,, shout out to Janice, Leslie's assistant, for the behind the scenes work the day of! Thank you Leslie @ Planned Perfectly!!!

The bathrooms are clean but they could use more stalls. Parking is easy, although messy if it's raining. The acoustics aren't too bad if there is a DJ. The servers are all excellent, and they attempt to do silver service, meaning that they serve food simultaneously to each person at the table, etc. It's not silver service! The food is ok. We had steak tips that were delicious. The chicken picatta was dry and tiny. This is a great place for a wedding or corporate event, just be sure to stay on top of the details.
