KC and her team at West Bay Gourmet were awesome! We decided to go with carving stations and all the planning we did months before the wedding really helped in the fantastic final menu and set up on the big day! I had countless emails with KC during months before the day with menu changes from cocktail hour options to the dessert. Our guests loved the options and the freedom to walk around and select their dinner. The bar set up was great as well, we were able to save by KC's suggestion to supply our own alcohol. And we also bought our own linens, her suggestion as well.... HUGE savings!!! Not only in the food preparation and service, but KC and team did an amazing job setting up the venue with all tables, chairs and place-settings. They arrived early to set up and KC managed the order of events for the day, coordinating our ceremony set up and procession and guided guests through cocktail hour, dinner and dessert. The hands-on approach really put me at ease and she came in to check on timing with us throughout the night. So many guests commented on how delicious the food was and how great the service was too. It really all came together that day thanks in big part to KC and her team!!!

KC was fantastic to work with and was helpful throughout the whole process! She worked with us on several last minute changes, and was very accomodating. Her staff were professional, very courteous, and attentive to us throughout the night. We received lots of compliments on the food and beautiful presentation especially the appetizers. Thanks for helping to make our night special and stress free! Beth and John Virgilio

KC Bishop and West Bay Gourmet were scheduled to cater both our wedding and our rehearsal dinner. Along came Hurricane Irene, and we were forced to cancel the rehearsal dinner and bump the wedding up by a day. KC did an AMAZING job of pulling off this major change in plans, and she did it all with humor and grace. All our guests commented on how wonderful the food was, and how beautifully presented. My only regret is that, as the bride, I was so busy chatting with people that I didn't get to eat as much as I would have liked! We will have to have KC cater an anniversary dinner for us in the future.

West Bay Gourmet did an AMAZING job for my wedding. We are still receiving compliments on their delicious food and amazing staff. We couldn't have done it without them. They made the day completely worry free. West Bay is trustworthy, accommodating, and friendly with hardworking and fun staff! We could not ask for a better caterer and I would recommend them to any couple!

KC at West Bay made my entire planning experience so much easier! She was always available to answer any questions we had (which was often) and had some great input and ideas whenever we were stuck on something. The food was PERFECT and the crew was super friendly and helpful. If you are getting married in So. RI, West Bay is unbeatable!

KC at West Bay Gourmet was EXCELLENT! We looked at several catering companies and really liked West Bay due to their flexibility with menu and alcohol choices. At our tasting I was blown away. I am not much of a food person and the food was amazing! We recieved compliments all night about how great the food was and we are still recieving compliments. We had a sit down dinner and the service was fast and efficient and the food was fantastic! We did station and passed hor d'ouvres and all of our food was gone at the end of cocktail hour! The staff was thoughtful enough to set aside some appetizers for us at our table for the reception, they also brought us food and drinks during the photos at cocktail hour. Same thing with our chocolate fountain, it was gone in minutes. Everyone really loved the food and the staff is amazing!

We would highly recommend West Bay Gourmet for wedding/event catering! KC is great to work with and very helpful, especially as we were planning the wedding from out of town. We were able to build the menu that we wanted through bringing parts of different sample menus together. The food was excellent and we had many compliments about the food throughout the night. We decided to offer a sundae bar, which the guests at our wedding loved! KC also helped us incorporate the citrus theme from the reception into the bar with a citrus sangria that was amazing! The only complaint that I heard was that the waitstaff were a little too quick to bus the tables in some cases - some guests were saving cupcakes to eat later in the night and when they came back from the dancefloor their place had been cleared.

West Bay was the first and *last* caterer we visited to taste their food. We knew we wanted to have Mexican-inspired cuisine and pie instead of cake. KC at West Bay was delighted to make something out of the ordinary while other caterers I had called shied away from our menu ideas. KC's incredible professionalism and efficient business manner made me feel at ease during the process of planning right through to the wedding itself. We purchased our own liquor to save a bit of money and West Bay took the time to go over our inventory to ensure we had covered our bases. Much appreciated. We had dozens of compliments on the dinner, appetizers, and friendly wait staff. Some guests had even asked if West Bay served lunch and dinner at their Narragansett location! We highly recommend West Bay Gourmet, if we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing!

I cannot recommend West Bay Gourmet more highly. I chose KC because she received rave reviews from other brides with whom I spoke, and now I know why. KC and her staff did everything to make my wedding reception smooth, flawless and delicious! While we were planning the menu, KC was extremely responsive and very flexible. She took a lot of time to speak with me about the menu and order of events, and I really appreciated her input. Our guests are still raving about our delicious apps, the entrees and desserts. In all it was a perfect day, due in large part to the hard work of WBG.

West Bay Gourmet did such an amazing job on our July 17th wedding. KC was so wonderful work with and helped make everything go smoothly. The staff was fantastic and I couldn't have asked for more. Our day was just PERFECT! The food was so delicious and we got such positive feedback from our guests. Thanks for helping make my day like a fairy tale.

West Bay Gourmet was a fantastic catering vendor for our wedding! KC was so great to work with, very responsive and accommodating. The food at our wedding was fantastic! We have received endless compliments from our guests raving about how wonderful the food was and numerous have said that it is the best food they have ever had at a wedding! The presentation of the food was also great and the staff was very nice and professional. We highly recommend this vendor!

West Bay Gourmet seemed like it was going to be great, they were helpful in the planning and assuring me how things would go. However the day of the wedding things fell apart. They did not follow through on things we were promised for the day such as kids meals, a specific vegetarian grill, or a staff member who would bring us food while we were taking pictures so we wouldn't miss out on the tasty cocktail hour food. They also did not set up the food stations the way we had discussed. When I brought this up with our contact a few weeks after the wedding she was not very apologetic about what happened.

West Bay created a great menu, and everyone loved the food. They did a great job setting up the Narragansett Towers to look gorgeous. The vegetable and cheese table for the cocktail hour was beautifully decorated. They took great care of us on our wedding day, bringing us appetizers and drinks because they knew we'd be busy with all of our guests. They also helped organize the events at the reception, so we didn't forget any of the traditions. It was fantastic working with KC and Donna and we'd recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer. We also hired them to cater a day after brunch at my parent's house, and they brought delicious food and made it hassle free for us.

unbelievable! ours guests consistently raved about the food - more than anything else from the event. KC is a dream to work with, and the food is to die for.

West Bay Gourmet made what we both feared would be a crazy and chaotic day feel seamless and effortless. KC is fantastic--quick to respond with all your questions, and whenever I looked up on the actual day she was already there, ready to guide us to the next part of the day. Her staff was also fantastic, cheerful, professional, and again, there anticipating our needs well before we did! I'm happy to say at our wedding we got ample time to eat both dinner and cake (which was very important as it was all SCRUMPTIOUS), as well as visit with all our guests. Folks couldn't stop commenting on how delicious the food was, and memorable. The other wonderful part of working with WB, was that there were no hidden costs--EVERYTHING was covered, and the total was what you paid, including tip, taxes, vendor meals (which were free). I highly recommend working with WB--they made our entire event, from start to finish, flawless, and better than we had ever imagined it would be!!

KC at West bay was so easy to work with and she was extremely helpful with all of my questions. She knew my venue (the Towers, Narragansett) very well and does sooo many weddings there.

If I could give West Bay Gourmet more stars, I would! I don't have a single negative thing to say about my experience with them. My guests are still raving about how incredible the food was and several people said it was the best meal they'd ever had at a wedding. The staff was fun and courteous and did a wonderful job of making sure the execution was flawless. KC made planning so easy and was incredibly helpful with answering questions and giving expert advice. Hiring West Bay Gourmet was easily one of the best decisions I made in the wedding planning process.

I will definitely recommend WestBay Gourmet to others. They are very responsive and did a great job helping to decorate the place. The food they provided is very good too. As a side note though, I wish they had more pots or bigger pots to cook the lobsters we provided. They only had two pots to cook 75 lobsters, and it took long time to cook and some of the lobsters are not well cooked. Nobody gets sick or anything, and the whole event went as smooth as one can expect, but advise to others is that, if you want to do something out of the norm, make sure you know what you need to achieve that, and compare the notes with them.
