I recently attended a wedding at the Humingbird's Nest Ranch and the catering was done by Gourgen's catering. Aside from the beautiful venue and ambiance, the food was phenomenal. The quality of the food was excellent along with their customer service. Highly recommended!!

Wow...where should I begin? Gourgen catering catered the morning of my wedding over 3 years ago and not only was the food amazing, the professionalism of the staff was outstanding. The waiters are all extremely nice and know what they're doing so you don't have to worry about telling them what to do and, trust me, I've worked with others and it's been a nightmare at times. Since my wedding, I've used Gourgen Catering for many different occasions, ranging from business dinners in home to birthday parties to Caban Parties and New Years Eve. I've even ordered food from them without the actual catering services and their food is truly DELICIOUS, fresh and hot upon delivery, not to mention very affordable. Gourgen, his son and staff are among the fairest and sweetest people I've ever worked with and if I've ever had any issues, they've made sure to go above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied, which I was! I would HIGHLY recommend them for any occasion!!!!!!!!!!

I did a backyard engagement and needed to hire a catering company for my party. My mom had heard from several people that Gourgen does an amazing job and that it was said that his food was great. It was my first time organizing such a big event so I was nervous to trust ANYBODY with such an important part of my party...
I can't tell you how impressed I am by this company. His staff was so attentive and so hard working. They made sure all of my guests were happy. From the minute they stepped foot in the house, they began working... What I really appreciated was the fact that his staff helped me with decorations and lighting candles and laying down petals, and that wasn't even part of their job. The food was amazing, all of my guests loved it, the organization was top notch, and Gourgen himself is wonderful at what he does.
I won't be using anybody else for my wedding. Thank you guys so much for giving me one less thing to worry about on that special day. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

We contacted Gourgen's Catering for a work event we were having with 150+ attendees. They were quick to respond to phone calls and were very easy to work with. They came early to the event to prepare the food, and the table itself was beautifully decorated.
The chicken and shrimp skewers literally melted in your mouth! So delicious! The small sandwiches were also very good along with the little wraps. The waiters passing around the food were extremely nice and even fun to chit chat with. I appreciated that they enjoyed what they were doing. We hope to plan something with them again!
