What our customers are saying.
Our event went so well! Everyone at Baker Lofts/Gilmore Catering was so helpful and understanding throughout the entire process. They made it very easy for us to make changes and were so accommodating. My husband and I would recommend them to our friends and family looking for a venue or catering service. Thank you for making our wedding come to life!
The service was absolutely amazing. Worked with Angela and Charlie (on the day of the event). Angela was prompt in responses and always willing to work with us or answer any questions we had. Made the entire process effortless. Charlie on the day of the wedding was very sweet and willing to work with us and make any same day adjustments that occurred.
It was great! I think it went really well and the food choices were fantastic. I think everyone was raving about that salad!
Thank you so much for all the work that went into planning for the reception. Michael and I and all of our guests had an amazing time. We got so many compliments on the food and space! It was a pleasure working with both Madeline and Lori.
We are extremely pleased with our choice of Gilmore Catering for our wedding day at Felt Mansion. Charlie, our event manager, is a master at what he does and the serving staff was friendly and knowledgeable. So many special touches like a server carrying my plate back to the table for me, one of the servers pulling out my grandmother's chair for her, the team cleaning the chargers when that was not in their job description, and so much more. We received many compliments on the food and the service. I was also impressed with the pre-planning; Angela Shea worked so well with me as an adviser, kept me on a timeline, advised great food options and portions, and contributed greatly to the success of the day. I could not have imagined going with any other catering company for our wedding day.
From start to finish we could not have had a better catering service. We booked a few weeks before our wedding and Angela made the whole process stress-free. We were amazed at the presentation and service on the day of our wedding and the staff went above and beyond to make it the most perfect day. We cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us.
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!! I cannot begin to express our heartfelt thanks for an amazing experience with Baker Lofts Events. Your venue is gorgeous - the food is delicious - and your service is outstanding. We loved every part of this experience. I cannot tell you how many people told us that the food was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. There were so many people, as well, who had never heard of this venue, and everyone truly loved it! The set up was AMAZING! Thank you, so much, for taking the time to make things absolutely perfect. Luke, you were great to work with Friday night. You were so accommodating and had absolutely everything under control. Your professionalism is so appreciated, and I just have to say that it really was outstanding.Each of you helped make this day absolutely perfect. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. :) Bryan and Lisa Finkbeiner
I totally recommend The B.O.B.—it is the best kept secret in Grand Rapids for a downtown wedding reception venue. The Gilmore Catering menus were extremely reasonable and it was great to have so many options to add or subtract for main entrees, appetizers, and desserts. If you could put me on your rooftop I would willingly shout out that The B.O.B. is the best wedding reception venue with great value!
Gilmore was so great! Our guests were raving about the food, and working with Kim & Charlie was such a delight. They took all of our wishes and ideas and made them happen deliciously, and we’re super Covid-conscious and had a lot of ideas on how to make our wedding safer without feeling like a lame conference. We would 100% hire them again.
We loved having our reception at the BOB! L3vel was a great room for our reception! We had about 130 guests and 14 people in our bridal party and it was a great space with plenty of room to dance! We used the side room as a game rooM which our guests loved. The interior was beautiful so we didn’t need much extra decor. After the reception was over, we went down to Bobarinos to continue the party! Such a fun venue!
My husband and I had our daughter's wedding reception at Eve in The B.O.B. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue. Not only is it affordable, but they also offered a wonderful addition which most venues do not: Our event came with a dedicated manager by the name of Charlie Harmon. He was such a kind, compassionate professional and really the best at what he does. The food was amazing, and the best part of the evening was the ambiance. The way the room is designed to get people up and moving. We had the time of our lives!
We had a rehearsal dinner with the pizza buffet for our wedding guests. All of the different pizzas were delicious! They were able to make a special order gluten-free pizza for a member of the bridal party, who said later that it was the best gluten-free pizza she’s ever had! The service was impeccable and the venue is beautiful!
I would definitely recommend Gilmore Catering to my family, friends, and colleagues. Your staff was very friendly and working with them was a pleasure. The food and service were also very good. I am very happy with the experience and will highly recommend you to others.
I wanted to reach out to say how fantastic Felicia Dykema is. My daughter and I met with her several months ago to reserve a room for my daughter’s rehearsal dinner that was rescheduled a couple of times because of COVID. From our initial meeting and several emails since then, Felicia has been super professional, easy-going, nice to work with, and very responsive. Unfortunately, we have had to cancel the rehearsal dinner and are grateful that Gilmore Catering is being flexible and will return our deposit. I just wanted to thank you and say that Felicia does a really nice job representing Paddock Place.
I wanted to send a thank you and kuddos to the team at Gilmore Catering. From the beginning, we appreciated your and Barb's prompt responses, professionalism and industry expertise. You ALL were so great to work with and the food was outstanding. In fact, several guests are still commenting how delicious the food was. They also loved Jen behind the bar. The team led by Charlie couldn't have been more hospitable. Ryan and I have been in the service industry a very long time - we've never seen staff so attentive. I needed to leave my dinner for a brief moment and came back to it covered to keep it warm. The service staff was checking in with us to see if they could take empty glassware from us or if there was anything they could get us. These are just a few small things that made a huge impact on our day. Please share with the staff a huge thank you from us and to please keep up the great work! We will definitely recommend Gilmore Catering in the future.
I recommend Gilmore Catering to all my friends and family in a heartbeat! The entire staff made our wedding day so special and we had absolutely nothing to worry about. They were a joy to work with.
Everyone we worked with was so helpful and kind. The BOB was very patient, understanding, helpful, and flexible in navigating the COVID restrictions. The space was affordable and the catering was delicious! Our coordinators were very easy to contact and always replied quickly. They are a dream vendor for brides and grooms.
Everyone loved the catering crew so much! There were so many nice things said! The food was amazing!! Everyone ate and we were all wildly impressed!! So I want to say a big thanks to all the lovely people that were a part of the preparation it was beyond wonderful! They even got right on it when we realized we had some miscommunication as far as the vegan meal goes & potatoes w/o pork. We made it work and it was lovely! I'm so grateful for all you did! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Our guests are still talking about what a wonderful experience they had at our wedding reception at Eve at The B.O.B. We can't thank you enough for all of the hard work you put in to making our day so special. Everything was absolutely perfect at our reception; we had such a wonderful time! Your team made every step—from booking the reception to making our last minute changes—easy. We had no worries or concerns because we knew that your team would take care of everything. You amazed us and our guests with your attention to detail and flawless execution. Please know that we are already recommending Gilmore Catering to everyone and we do so gladly!
We loved our wedding reception at Baker Lofts. It was like a dream and better than I ever imagined. The service was phenomenal, the food amazing, and the venue beautiful. I know you gave us the deal of a life time and worked within our budget. I still can't believe how everything worked out for us. It was the best wedding food I’ve ever had. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
