Gracious Catering

Absolute perfection! We used Gracious Events as our caterer for our wedding on 9/10/2022 at St. James 1868. They were recommended to us by the St. James team. Marija worked with us and was so communicative and easy to work with. The Gracious team treated us like we were family. We had our tasting and was blown away at the quality of ingredients and curated menu. They learned about us as a couple and what our likes and dislikes were and made a menu to fit us. At the wedding, our guests gave us many compliments on the food, some saying it was the best wedding food they have ever had. (We agree, worth every penny.) I loved how much they cared about us during the process and at the wedding. They were so kind to make us a plate of hors d'oeuvres at our cocktail hour so we can have enjoy our food. That to me, shows how much they care about their clients. They also made sure we got to eat our full dinner without interruption. My other vendors mentioned how kind and helpful they were and really enjoyed working them. Consider yourself lucky if you are able to book them because they will make your wedding day or event impeccable. Forever grateful for Marija and the Gracious Team!

Where do I start. We had an absolutely gorgeous brunch wedding thanks to Vesna and her team. They took care of our florals and food set up and so much more. We still get compliments almost a year after our wedding day and we owe it to Gracious. Beyond professional and accommodating as we reside in California and our wedding took place in Milwaukee. Do not think twice about using Gracious for your next event. -Anna

We recently had our wedding at St. James venue where Vesna and her team are responsible for the catering. The food and drinks at the wedding were just so incredible, words don't do it justice! Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but it was prepared and presented so beautifully. Our guests continuously stopped us throughout the night to let us know how much they enjoyed cocktail hour appetizers and their dinner meal. Our favorite compliment came from our Italian best friend's who raved about the Cannoli's, you know they must have been incredible!! Vesna's attention to detail is unmatched. We truly loved working with her and could not be happier with her and her team!!!!!

All guests have said...."BEST FOOD EVER!" And it really was. You never walk away from a wedding remembering the food, but it has been 5 months and our guests are still talking about the delicious hor d'oeurves, amazing small plate dinners, and unique presentations with all of the food. Working with Vesna and her exceptional staff made planning for my wedding simple. They assist in any way they can (flowers, linens, decor) all within your budget. As the day came and went, I realized how perfect everything was and how happy our guests were made to feel because of Gracious Catering. I want to have multiple weddings just so I can work with them again!

We just had a fabulous retirement party catered by Gracious Catering. Every dish was delicious! I particularly liked the short rib sliders. The desserts were great as well. Best of all was the service. They looked at what needed to be done and offered to help. I would hire them again any time! Thanks for the fun!
