We used Frugal Gourmet to cater our wedding, and we were blown away with the service! Aleta and team were recommended by our venue and we can understand why. They were professional to coordinate with to get our menu prepared for our wedding, prompt at responding to requests and questions”

“We had our daughter's wedding rehearsal and reception catered by The Frugal Gourmet and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the entire experience. From the first telephone conversation to the last morsel of food left on the table, everything was perfect. Aleta was super easy to work with. She guided me through menu selections and graciously added more food as our guest list grew a week before the wedding. She was very professional, yet I felt like we were old friends almost immediately. On top of all of that, the food was simply amazing!!! Every single bite was to die for and the presentation was beautiful. I'm so thankful I found The Frugal Gourmet!”

We loved working with Aleta! She helped us pick a menu that fit exactly what we wanted, and she had so many things to pick from. You could really pick any food you can think of. Aleta also did our dessert table & cake, and she executed my vision perfectly! We also got our bartending services through her and he was absolutely amazing! Their whole team made sure us and our guests were taken care of all night, and it was so convenient to have one vendor take care of so many things for us. We had so many compliments on the food and desserts from our guests, so I’d 100% recommend Aleta & her team at Frugal Gourmet!”

“We just recently had an Arts Council event in West Jefferson NC and Frugal Gourmet catered the event. It was simply incredible and I received so many comments and compliments on the taste and quality of the food. The people who came and did set up were wonderful, friendly and so helpful. The decor they brought was lovely on the food tables and their clean up made everything so simple. I would highly recommend using them and know that I will be contacting them again for future events.”

We worked with Aleta and team to cater a 50+ person birthday dinner in Boone, NC. Her team arrived prepared and they were quick to set everything up. The food was delicious, the presentation was lovely, and the staff that supported the event were gracious and helpful. Frugal Gourmet met our budget goals and exceeded our expectations for a lovely event!”

“Frugal Gourmet catered our wedding and made it perfect! Aleta was professional and no nonsense which I appreciated. She knows what she’s doing and helped us to devise a perfect menu for guests. Nobody went home hungry and our guests raved about how wonderful the food was. I still dream of the Mac and cheese!”
