11 Best Caterers in Gainesville

“Wonderful Biryani from Gainesville!“

“Red Mesa Catering provided a wonderful feast for my daughter’s graduation from medical school celebration. The food was delicious and creative. The set up and display were beautiful. All of my guests commented on how wonderful it was. One guest, a musician, commented that he had been to 1000 catered events and this was the best food he’d ever had. Red Mesa will be catering all of my events.“

“I absolutely can never seem to make it all the way home before I crack open Tropical Eatz! It’s increase every, single time!“

“Our first stay here. Stunning grounds and beautiful cottages. Breakfast was only ok. We were not able to fully enjoy the breakfast because of bad communication. None of our dietary needs were given to the kitchen from when we booked the cottages. Also, no “famous” French toast casserole. Instead, there was oatmeal. Wonderful grounds and cottages. Disappointing breakfast.“

“This is a cooking/cultural lesson you need. The personal stories from the instructors to connect the recipe to nostalgic feelings of family and being at home made this experience special. We even got to dance a little. Unforgettable. 10/10 would recommend“

“Being a DJ gives me the opportunity to work with some incredibly talented professionals—wedding planners, caterers, day-of coordinators, bartenders, and so many others. It’s hard to say who the best is… but what if I told you that you could have all of these services in one company?

That’s exactly what you get with Tosh Events and Catering.

I have yet to see a company as organized, efficient, and customer-focused as Branden and his team. We’ve had the pleasure of working with them several times in the past, and again this past weekend. Every single time they exceed expectations.

Branden and his team did a phenomenal job taking care of every important detail of Angelica and Mark’s wedding. He reached out to us multiple times ahead of the event to go over key details that were important to the bride and groom, along with important logistics like venue coordination, load-in and load-out, and overall event flow.

That level of communication and preparation makes a huge difference on a wedding day, and it shows in how smoothly everything runs.

If you're looking for a team to help bring your most important events to life, look no further. Give Branden and the Tosh Events and Catering team a call—you will not be disappointed!“

“Alicia made these gluten free sugar cookies for my sisters bachelorette party! These cookies were killer! The black frosting was actually black cocoa powder so no stains on the teeth.“

“We recently partnered with Zen Catering for a corporate event on January 8, 2025, with 100 attendees, and we couldn’t be more impressed with their service and quality. Despite the planning being very last-minute, the Zen Catering team went above and beyond to make the event an absolute success.

From the moment we contacted them, their professionalism and responsiveness stood out. They quickly understood our needs and worked tirelessly to ensure every detail was addressed, alleviating any stress we had about the tight timeline.

The food was phenomenal! Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the variety and quality of the menu. It was clear that Zen Catering prioritizes not just taste but also freshness and attention to detail.

Handling an event of this size is no small task, but their team executed everything seamlessly. The staff on-site were courteous, efficient, and always ready to assist. They flawlessly managed the setup, service, and cleanup, allowing us to focus on connecting with our guests.

Zen Catering exceeded all expectations and turned what could have been a stressful situation into a flawless and memorable experience. If you’re looking for a catering company that delivers top-notch food and service, look no further than Zen Catering. They truly embody excellence in every way!

Thank you, Zen Catering, for making our corporate event unforgettable. We will definitely be using your services again and recommending you to everyone we know!“

“Amazing Italian food! Yummy!“

“Exceptional Catering & Bar Service – Truly Unforgettable!

March 2026 bride here, and I can confidently say this was the best catering and bartending experience we could have asked for! Bobby and his team are absolutely top-notch—professional, organized, and genuinely passionate about what they do.

From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and completely stress-free, which is something every couple deserves during wedding planning. Bobby made everything easy, and his attention to detail gave us total confidence leading up to the big day.

And the food—absolutely delicious! Every dish was beautifully served and a huge hit with our guests. In fact, my New York family was beyond impressed with Florida catering… something I never thought I’d hear in a million years!

If you’re looking for incredible food, outstanding service, and a team that truly cares about your experience, this is the one. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Really great crab and sides. Very friendly service. We loved every bite. Just hard to locate and find - it’s a food truck in an empty lot! Needs some picnic tables and some crab hammers so you can eat on site. Would definitely come back the next time I’m in town.“
