Best rehearsal dinner and wedding food!!

We were so happy we chose them to do our rehearsal dinner and wedding food! We did tacos and sangria bar for rehearsal dinner and carribean buffet and open bar for the wedding night and it all so delicious. We didn’t even do a tasting before as we live in Seattle and they did not disappoint! Our guests are still talking about how good everything was and I still think about the yummy shrimps tacos and fresh fish! Thank you team!!

Green Turtle Inn-Wedding Catering Review 1/8/24-1/10/24

I used Green Turtle Inn catering for my wedding at Coconut Palm Inn in January. Jenn, Elena and the entire catering staff were absolutely amazing, and the food was better than I could have imagined- everyone will be talking about those three meals (welcome dinner bbq, apps/reception dinner with carving station, Chilean sea bass, and pasta station, and breakfast with all the fixings) for quite a while!

The severs made sure to find me during our photo session to make sure I got a taste of all the phenomenal apps (bruschetta, mini crab cakes, and GF tuna nachos). Jenn was also very accommodating of any known allergies and offered countless options to meet all dietary needs.

Elena handled everything on the day of all our events, and she went above and beyond to assist with things even outside of her scope when she had the chance, so a huge thank you to her especially for the hands on help!

Jenn was great to work with and made the planning process so easy, updating our menus and requests quickly and making sure we had everything we needed.

If we ever make it back to the Keys, we will definitely be making it into the restaurant-if not cater another meal!

Absolutely Incredible!!

We catered here for our wedding and we couldn’t recommend them enough. Planning a wedding from states away is hard, and not being able to taste the food beforehand was daunting… But the catering coordinator, Jenn, was so helpful and reassuring. Our dinner turned out to be one of the best meals we have ever eaten (and plenty of our guests came up to us to tell us the same)! The food was so good that we actually visited both Green Turtle and Kaiyo Grill the following days after our wedding!! We did salad and pasta stations and the chef made the meal right in front of you. Everything tasted so fresh. The key lime pies for dessert were also incredible!! Every employee that was working our wedding was so kind and professional, nothing but smiles and congratulations to us. We also had the mobile bar (tipsy turtle), which was such a cute addition to the event. We paid a little more for the catering and bar services than we initially thought we would, but it was so worth it and we’d do it again in a heartbeat!!

I had the pleasure to work with Green Turtle this past wedding at a wedding in Key West. The staff was phenomenal! They knew what team work was all about and helped accomplish a quick turn around from ceremony into reception for 90 people in less than 30 mins! Their professionalism was apparent and the food was delicious! I cannot wait to work with them again in the future!
