Mashed Potato Bar


We love trying new things.

Adding creativity and an element of surprise to your events.

And this one has been a HUGE hit!

Ladies and Gentlemen,  meet The Mashed Potato Bar!


What could be better then mashed potatoes served in a martini glass with all the toppings you could ever want?!?!




The guests were talking about these all night and one or two may have snuck up a few extra times to the table!

It's OK, we aren't telling!


Let us know if you'd like to add a Mashed Potato Bar to your next event!

Rehersal Dinners

Venue: Villa Serena in Conyers, GA

The night before your wedding can be full of nerves and emotion.

You're anxious for your big day, want everything to be perfect.

And you still have the big rehearsal and dinner to do.



And that is where The Grand Gourmet comes in!

We will set up the perfect dinner with tablescapes that match your decor perfectly.

We can make any food you want for your last big meal before your wedding!


At the Hays/Christenson Rehearsal Dinner we served BBQ with all the fixings!


Southern food with an elegant flair!

It was delish!




Here's what the Groom's Sister had to say about the Rehearsal and Wedding food:


"Seriously..... U guys were beyond awesome. Very professional, the food was delicious, and your staff was so nice and helpful. I would recommend you guys to EVERYONE! thanks so much for being so great!"

Contact The Grand Gourmet and let us make the night before your wedding just as memorable as the big day!

70th Birthday Bash



One of the best parts of our job is that we get to be a part of people's most special days.

Rehearsal Dinners, Weddings, Baby Showers, Retirement Parties.

And we really love when we get to help celebrate big birthdays!

We were honored to feed the amazing group of people that were at Thomas's 70th Birthday Bash!




This event was even more amazing since it was carried out entirely without Chef Sheena there!  Our staff is amazingly talented and has just as much passion for our clients as the owners do.

Everyone was happy and plates came back clean!

What A Week


We did it! 

We successfully pulled off 1 small event and 2 large events in one weekend!  The 2 large ones being on the same night, at the same time, on different sides of Atlanta!


I like pretending that we are a large company and I try to make that impression on other people most of the time.  

But the truth is we are a small company…that can do BIG things!  


I am completely in love with making people happy.  

What also made this weekend so remarkable is that we had a very successful large event that I, nor Aaron, were in attendance for…thanks to our AMAZING staff!  I feel so blessed to have people I can rely on and trust to do things as I would do them and have the same passion and attention to detail that I do.  


Our motto is “We cater to your needs”, and we really do.  

We feel that customer service and attention is 80% of the success of an event...the other 20% being in the appearance and taste of the food.  

One day we may be a “BIG” company, and that is our ultimate goal.  But right now we are still small, gradually growing all of the time.  Everything happens in God’s timing.


I feel so honored to have been apart of the Thomas 70th Birthday Party at Merle Manders Conference Center and Brett & Sarah’s wedding at Villa Serena.  

Keep an eye on our blog to watch us journey to the “BIG”!

Hays Wedding



This past weekend we catered a beautiful wedding.

It was held at Villa Serena in Conyers and the entire estate was breathtaking.  

Add in a gorgeous bride and super fun decorations and you have a picture perfect wedding!


The Hays Wedding had the works, full appetizer bar, 2 bars, a buffet dinner, a carving station, and a mashed potato bar!

I think it's safe to say that everyone left full!

Plated


The Grand Gourmet loves to do Plated Dinners.

You can give your event an extra special touch of elegance by having all your guests served at their table rather then having them serve themselves.

We have an entire staff of experienced servers who will make your dinner delivery go off without a hitch.

Every guest will feel like the guest of honor!
