I cannot recommend Gradito enough! We decided to work with Sean and Chef Will for our wedding as we wanted our guests to have a one of a kind dining experience that they will enjoy and remember. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and service for days after the wedding and jokingly kept asking if there were any leftovers they could come back for.
Sean and the Gradito team were so responsive and great from start to end. The entire team was a pleasure to work with and during our cocktail party, everyone was enthusiastic and made the night so special. The food was so delicious!
