Gooseberries Fresh Market

Although Gooseberries is a quality store and has amazing food, we were slightly disappointed when it came time to eat.
We had order snap peas as one of our sides, we assumed they would be cooked (we were too short on time to do a tasting, our fault on that), they were served cold and raw.

And our bowtie pesto pasta with seasonal veggies, was served with no veggies.

Chef Mike and the gooseberries team provided phenomenal service for our wedding. We had a tasting months before our wedding and had a hard time deciding what to pick for our meal choices because everything was SO delicious. Gooseberries will truly do everything an anything they can to make you wedding day visions come true and are excellent to work with. Our guests were amazed by how wonderful the food was. I highly recommend Gooseberries/ Courtyard Catering for your event. We had them for a buffet at our rehearsal dinner, and then a plated dinner at our wedding, both were fabulous and the staff were all so nice. Thank you Gooseberries.

You know when you had good food at your wedding when two months later people are still coming up and talking about the catering and cake. You also know when a company is great when they do no advertisement for their catering and rely simply on word of mouth.

Gooseberries went above and beyond for our special day. We were able to taste test all of the food for no cost and the secretary made sure to put our cake and food tasting all in the same day so we would not have to run around. They were also very reasonable with their prices and Chef Mike was completely honest with what food would work great for our time of year and theme.

The day of the wedding the food was completely delicious. The catering staff personally assigned a staff member to assist my husband and myself! They even dished up our food!

I would highly recommend their mashed potatoes and macaroni and...

Would highly recommend their cakes to anyone! The cake was amazing and very affordable! The service was top notch!

Dawn did an EXCELLENT job with my flowers. They were so incredibly beautiful. Our venue did not allow candles, and I really did not want to have the flameless candles, so Dawn came up with a suggestion that worked really well and was stunning at the same time. She created two different centerpieces and alternated them on each of the tables. Half of the tables had large fishbowl shaped vases and the others had tall cylinder vases. All of the centerpieces had long wispy willow branches and flowers tucked in throughout the centerpiece. In the bottom of each of the vases, Dawn put a submersible colored LED light in a pale yellow, that really make the centerpieces glow in an elegant way.

The bouquets were so much more beautiful than I could have even imagined. She used pale yellow roses, viking mums, white hydrangea and nice green accents to create a country-chic bridal bouquet. All of the bridesmaids bouquets complimented mine very nicely.

Dawn did such an excellent job!

The design was great. I through in some extra design decor at the last minute with the flowers and it worked out exceptionally! I loved the color pink they used and the cake was great! We received several compliments on the cake throughout the night!

Our flowers were lilies and orchids, and they were absolutely perfect. We also had our centerpieces done there and they turned out amazing! The only small small complaint I had was getting my quote correct took some time.

Gooseberries did our floral, cake and food service for our wedding.

Food: The food was amazing and we were running 1 hour late for dinner yet it was still fresh and hot. Our guests went out of their way to tell us how great their food was. When was the last time you were at a wedding and had a great meal. Chef Mike and his crew did an amazing job.

Floral: I had chosen Gerber daisies and Callie lilies for my flowers. I guess the daisies that came in weren't all of the best quality so they upgraded my boutineers to the lilies but didn't charge me any additional money. They still looked great and nobody even noticed that they weren't supposed to be that way. The heat got to my bouquets really quickly and they didn't last much passed the ceremony but it was 96 degrees outside and that is to be expected. Overall they did a great job and they were really great to work with. Much of our contact was via email since we own 2 businesses ourselves and they were more than happy to accommodate.

Cake: We went with a nut free carrot cake with butter cream and fondunt. One side of the cake was a little melted (96 degrees) it was bound to happen but they did a great job so that we could have one side that was perfect. plus it tasted amazing. Our colors were white, ivory and black and they used a black floral ribbon instead of anything edible so that the heat didn't make it run all of over the cake. They know what they are doing and it was a great cake.

Thank you so much Brittney, Chef Mike, Angela and all of the rest of the staff at Gooseberries. You made our wedding spectacular!!!

Instead of cake for our wedding we did pies. Gooseberries was so good to work with and the pies were amazing! I was getting compliments all night about the pies and what a neat idea. The taste was outstanding!!

I have to admit that I was extremely nervous about having to select flowers for my wedding. My main thought was "OMG, I'm going to drop a boatload of money on flowers, and the cost is going to be ridiculous!" This was not the case with Exclusively Yours Floral at Gooseberries Market - Dawn was incredibly helpful and HONEST - I felt so comfortable working with her because she didn't charge a fortune and she suggested many ways in which I could save money (as opposed to spending more). Not to mention that my flowers were GORGEOUS!!! I would recommend her to anyone :)

Amazing! The cake was so good and everything is what I wanted!

Dawn was great to work with. She was able to stay within our budget with out any problems. She was full of wonderful ideas. She very easy to get a hold of and responded very quickly. She did such a beautiful job with our flowers and centerpieces. I would recommend her to everyone!

They delivered right to the reception venue with no problems. The cake was exactly what I wanted. They were very eager to work with me to find out what I was looking for. My only issue was that I ended up ordering too much cake!
