Wow. Outstanding food. Exemplary Service.

We had a difficult situation with weather and the team needed to pivot twice to make our wedding and dinner work out for us. Logistics were very difficult trying to get in out of the rain and dealing with three flights of stairs to get to our "plan B" location but, Jackie and the entire team were amazing and the food was really, really great. We requested a spinach and strawberry salad, filet mignon and lobster tails with grilled parmesean asparagus. We decided not to have a cake but, instead, requested a dessert trio for each guest including a lemon cheesecake tart with blueberry compote and a chocolate mousse tart with whipped cream and candied pecans. Our chef did such an amazing job on the tenderloin that we decided to keep the leftovers like some couples keep the top of their cake. We won't wait a year to eat it but we did freeze two portions for our one-week anniversary!!

Grayton Beach Catering New Year's Eve Wedding

If you are looking for a destination wedding look no further than Grayton Beach Catering at the Gardens of Monet. I am a local in the area and cannot express how pleased we were that we picked this venue and vendor. The owner (Sherri) and coordinators (Melinda & Kim) were fabulous to work with as was ALL the service staff working the night of the event. I cannot express enough how wonderful everyone is that works in this organization. The food was out of this world and the Chef was interactive with guest to ensure all was just perfect - to say it was the best food we had our entire stay is not an understatement - our guests are still talking about the food and service. The night of the wedding it rained and we had to add tents - but no worry the venue handled everything and while I worried it would not be as pretty I was wrong! It was even more beautiful and just a magical night. The strung lights, drapery, and florals made the gardens even more romantic. The staff are so professional and are there to make your dream wedding a reality - and they did! I would recommend this vendor and venue to anyone looking for great service, excellent food, and beautiful surroundings where everything is designed to meet your vision.

Gbc is the best!

Would recommend over and over! All of our guests said multiple times “THIS IS THE BEST WEDDING WE’VE EVER BEEN TO!” Cheri & the crew at GBC made the best day of our lives the most stress free and fun day we could’ve ever imagined! Christine is the best coordinator and so fun! Melinda made planning a wedding from 6 hours away seem like we were sitting in Monet Monet each time we spoke via email or phone! Easily the best wedding vendor in the country!

Hi! I’m Melinda! I grew up in Northeast Iowa and got my career started working in my mom's flower shop at a very young age. When I turned 21 and after graduating college with a degree in graphic design and fine art I headed south as soon as possible!

I worked for a wedding florist in the area for 6 years and then switched to event planning for Grayton Beach Catering.

I live with my two cats, Frank and Fiona (both pronounced with French accents – lol). I enjoy watching reality television, crafting, shopping and anything that has to do with Mexican food! I love the wedding and event business and look forward to helping every couple with their dream day!
