Dear Chef Brian,

You guys did an excellent job!! We were so happy with it all. I know there were a lot of moving pieces that hinged upon you, and with the rain, I imagine that it was stressful to figure some of that out on Saturday. Both Preston and I got to be very at ease the day of knowing that you and Lara were in charge. Thank you for that gift of an eased mind! And the food was just so delicious! We both got to eat a lot that day (few bride and grooms can say that) and it was all so good! Great work.

Thanks,

Preston and Beca

Dear Cathy,

Your lovely platters were gobbled up by our Garden Club ladies and we received numerous compliments! What a perfect display. We certainly had an enjoyable day with beautiful weather, informative talks, and inspiring herb ideas! You were missed, but we were so grateful for you going above and beyond with all you did to make our day complete.

Dear Brian and Team,

Thank you so much for the wonderful food and all the work you did for our rehearsal dinner and wedding. Our guests had a blast and had wonderful things to say about the staff and food. Thank you for being such a calm presence to work with and for making our wedding day a reality!

With Friends like you, there is no question we have much to be thankful for, as October truly was one of the best months in the 49-+ year history of The Friends of the Talbot County Free Library.

That event was followed by our very successful major fundraiser at the Oct. 12 Sunset Cruise on the Patriot, the first time under the ownership of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. A great crowd…with great food by Garden & Garnish…great music by AMPERSAND…a fun raffle….an awesome sunset by nature and skillful navigating by Capt. Matt…. It was a lovely evening, and raised more than $6,000!

As always, thank you for being a Friend!

Brian,

Thank you for making the 2023 Talbot County Empty Bowls community dinner a resounding success. Your generous donation of five-gallons of delicious soup was the star of the night. The community dinner raised more than $20,000 bringing the total Empty Bowls raised in one year just shy of $30,000. These funds will be distributed to food banks in Talbot County where 1 in 10 residents are food insecure.  Thank you for your continued support of the Annual Empty Bowls Dinner and our mission to end food insecurity in Talbot County, your chili was a hit. We look forward to working together again.

Best,

Chris

Not only was the food excellent…. not only was the service attentive and friendly…not only was Brian helpful and knowledgeable to work with… but everything was so seamless. I simply enjoyed the guests and the event, because everything was done perfectly. Lots of helpful planning made this an event that I could simply enjoy. And enjoy it I did! I liked the beef short ribs the best, but then there was the salmon…and the latkes….and that doesn’t even get us to dessert….

The food was amazing, and – of course! – beautifully presented with fresh (edible) flower garnishes.

Thank you, thank you. thank you,

Good morning Brian –

David and I can’t thank you enough for the great catering experience you provided for us at our Retirement Gathering. The selection and presentation was just perfect, and everything was delicious! Compliments on the food were made throughout the evening; we couldn’t have asked for a better choice in catering.

Thank you for helping to make the evening so special!

Best Regards, & we hope to experience your services again in the future –

Delicious!!
Brian and his team catered our rehearsal dinner and our wedding and were great to work with!! Brian and his team have over 20 years experience in the field and it shows. He’s a very talented chef and I appreciated that the food we served wasn’t the typical “fish, beef, or chicken.” Our wedding was outside in August, so it was hot! Brian ended up doing beef tenderloin served with a cold crab salad that was amazing and our guests haven’t stopped talking about. Him and his wife grow many of their own fruits and vegetables used in their catering events and source a lot of other products from the local area which we really appreciated. On top of all this, they were easy to communicate with and very reasonably priced. Definitely  recommend!

Dear Brian,
Thank you for your nice note. We so appreciated you and your team’s willingness to be flexible in the face of adversity, ie. The downpour just as you were about to serve dinner. In fact, numbers of the guests have commented on this as well as the superb food. I would say you were a success and therefore, in addition to the sheer sense of relief of having the pandemic behind us (🤞 ), the party was a success!
Many, many thanks.

Hello,
Just a note of thanks for a wonderful meal. We ordered Easter dinner for 12. Although I’ve seen your website and been following your menus until now I’ve never been organized enough to order ahead of time. Easter dinner was perfect. This was our first large gathering (all vaccinated) in our newly renovated house. I can’t say thank you enough. The food was delicious, portions were plentiful and the reheating instructions were great. I’ll be keeping you in mind for future events.
Thanks again, Cindy and Bob

Dear Brian,
Your wonderful mom gifted us with a beautiful salad with a delicious tangy vinaigrette and really delicious meatloaf. The meatloaf was perfectly seasoned with gravy on top. My mom and I savored every morsel of both dishes. My mom is having some health challenges and has been fussy about her food. But she enjoyed everything without fussing. It was a great gift. Thank you so very much,

Dear Brian and Cathy,
My husband, Gerry, and I wish to thank you so much for the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner you delivered to us in Oxford. Having been forced to cancel our travel and family dinner plans at the last minute due to Covid restrictions etc., we weren’t sure what to plan for ourselves. You relieved our stress and provided us with a sumptuous dinner reminiscent of our home cooked meals in prior years. From the moist turkey with oyster stuffing to the perfectly prepared crispy green beans, the creamy, garlic mashed potatoes, and not-to-sweet cranberry sauce….it was all delicious. Thank you so much. Hope you were able to enjoy the day yourselves. HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
Nancy and Gerry

Hello! I hope you & yours were able to enjoy the holiday after taking care of your customers. I just had to contact you & let you know how delicious everything was! My family & I were impressed.

You will be hearing from me next year! (if not before!). Now that I know how good your food is, I hope to be patronizing your establishment during the year as well (Covid not withstanding).

Hey Guys,

I cannot thank you both enough for the support the last few days on the date change! It was super stressful and even though the storm looks like it will spare us too much grief in this area, we have heard from many grateful guests who were trying to make preparations, evacuate, and get to our wedding all at the same time and we couldn’t ask that of them. Most people are trying to rearrange to make the new date and it’s all working out for the best. Thank you again for everything,

Will, Heather and Michelle were so personable and helpful….especially Will greeting guests at the door with “May I take your coat?” We were all very impressed with him 🙂 I think I have a wine glass of yours…if you’d like I can drop it by tomorrow on my way to work? Counted my new silverware this morning! Haha! All there so thanks for that!!

Dear Brian,
Thanks again for a great job. I’m hoping my son will eventually get married  here and you’ve got the job! Also Brian, any chance you might share the recipes for the sweet potatoes and the spaghetti squash? We almost never entertain and would not share it with anyone.
Thanks,
Tom

Dear Brian,
Thank you for everything! Everyone LOVES the food. Oh, everyone keeps me asking me how you cooked the broccoli (or what the seasoning was) a couple of weeks ago. Are you willing to share?

The updated menu looks good! I want to let you know that everyone loved the food and I had many guests ask me who catered the event. If you want to leave business cards with me, I would be happy to distribute.

Good afternoon everyone,

I just wanted to thank you all again for creating a beautiful and inviting space, fabulous food and drink, and (we know and anticipate) a wonderful photo record of the memories of our rehearsal dinner at the Maritime Museum. You each executed brilliantly and, together, put together the pieces for an unforgettable evening. Thank you so much, and please pass along our appreciation to your staffs – they were wonderful. Altogether, you exceeded our expectations.
You’re in the midst of a very busy season. I hope it all goes well and I hope you get some chance for rest and relaxation yourself.

My very best,

Brian

You where on my list to contact today – to say THANK YOU so very much. You made our weekend a big success. There’s no way I could have fed those kids and kept my energy up! The food was fantastic – we all loved it. I had chicken fingers to spare. I froze left overs – always a good things. The crab we did have was a hit and had a few left over so I’m glad we cut that back. One of the biggest hits…..FRUIT. They couldn’t get enough. They wanted to snack on fruit vs. chips and such. Many of those kids are going on to play to a sport in college and are very focused on nutrition. (so I ate the chips! haha)

Many thanks again, I hope you had a nice weekend as well.Diane

May 2015

Good morning Brian…I can’t tell you how happy we are with how well things went on Saturday!! Hannah and Ernie were awesome to work with and stayed very calm, continuing to do their jobs with smiles on their faces when our home suddenly went from quiet to chaotic (about 130 arrived here for pics) and the aroma of crab crakes drew everyone to the kitchen! Hannah did such a wonderful job with the table setting…the parents were blown away by the beautiful setting on the back porch and many asked who our caterer is so be expecting more business! The food was a huge hit with the kids and we had left overs yesterday…still delicious! LOVE those egg rolls! Good to your word, everything was cleaned up and we were locked up and out by 7:10 in plenty of time for Grand March.
Looking forward to working with you again in the future Brian and of course Hannah and Ernie 🙂
With our gratitude for helping us create the perfect pre-Prom party!!

Dear Brian,

Thank you, it was fantastic!
Even though people were dropping like flies and we did not have the numbers of guests that we were originally expecting. Please give our thanks again Ernie and Brigette who made such an enormous contribution to the enjoyment of the evening. Everyone said that the food was delicious and certainly enhanced the ambience of the evening. Only one problem; the weather was against you with the Anniversary Cake and it did not really soften up. But people still tucked into it.
It was delicious the next day.

Thank You Again,

A wedding review from “The Knot.com”
Hi Garden & Garnish,
You’ve received a new review on TheKnot.com!

Outstanding Food posted 2014-10-21
Brian Schmidt and Garden and Garnish did an outstanding job for our early October, Eastern Shore wedding. I heard nothing but praises about the food from the appetizers to the entrees. G&G was a full-service, professional, outstanding catering company. We chose crab cakes, stuffed mushrooms, grilled cheese with tomato dipping sauce, and bruschetta as our appetizers. They were plentiful and delicious and continued to be passed for the entirety of cocktail hour. We chose to do a buffet style dinner and everything was pipping hot and wonderful. The servers were quick and because Brian set up 3 different stations, no one waited in line for their dinner. We had basil balsamic chicken, beef tenderloin, asparagus, garlic mashed potatoes, buttermilk biscuits, salad, and wedding cake. Everything was perfect. Brian even decorated the wedding cake beautifully with seasonal berries. We had brought the rest of the desserts ourselves and G&G plated and displayed them beautifully along with coffee and tea after dinner. My highest praises! Wonderful job done by all the G&G staff!…

September 2014
Good Morning Brian,

Thanks again; everything was absolutely delicious. The Spinach & Artichoke dip was an absolute hit. We didn’t have too much left to pack up.

Thanks again!

Brian,

Thank you so much for catering our lunches in Cambridge these past few weeks. You were very accommodating and your food was amazing!

Hi Brian,
I wanted to send a note to thank you for all your help. The food was delicious and exactly what was needed at the end of the day. Your suggestions were perfect.
And thank you for finding my wedding band diamond!! It was so hectic – crawling around on the front porch looking for it was definitely not in the program!
I wouldn’t hesitate to use your catering services again in the future or recommending you to others.

Thanks again.
Kind Regards,

So many thanks for the excellent service & food you provided for the reunion. Everything was perfect from the food to the staff & the tent. Both families were so impressed with everything. Some & myself included said they have never had better crab cakes. We appreciated all that went into making our event so successful.

Thanks again.
Elaine & all the family members of both families.

June 2014
Hi Brian,

Want to thank you for making our one and only reunion a huge success. The crab cakes were the best we’ve ever eaten and everyone raved about the salads.
Ernie, Bridgette and Robin did an amazing job! Running back & forth to the tent on such a warm day was no easy task. Not only were they very efficient, they were very friendly and even the dogs loved them.
We will certainly recommend Garden and Garnish to our friends.

Jean & Jack

May 2014
Brian,

I cannot begin to thank you enough for the wedding. Not only was the food outstanding (everyone kept telling us how good the food was, not something you typically hear at a wedding) but you and the staff were amazing. You were thinking of things for us and our guests before we even knew we needed them, going above and beyond to make sure everything got set up to our liking and all of this was done with a tremendously friendly attitude. We felt so pampered and at ease with you running the show. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience and happier day! Please feel free to let us know if you ever need a recommendation and we will definitely be calling you the next time we need a caterer.

We will be sure to send you some pictures as well as we get them.

All the best,
Shannon

Dear Brian,

I can’t thank you enough for the delicious cookies you contributed for our donor party at Spitfire Hanger on April 3rd. The sweet treats were a big hit and one of my personal favorites!

We downloaded your logo to a tent card so all of our guests would know of your generosity and will hopefully contact you for catering.

As a non profit we rely on donations like this from businesses and individuals in our community to help make our work possible.

Thanks again for your partnership.

Dear Brian,

Thank you for the wonderful catering from Garden and Garnish for our retreat on March 22. the food was really good. We have received many compliments about it and requests for your contact information.

I would especially like to thank you for accommodating the needs of our vegan retreat leader. We were in a bit of a panic when she told us just before the retreat that she was a vegan – not being entirely sure what that entailed. The selection you provided for her was not only appreciated by her but by others as well. The vegan wraps were amongst the first items to run out!

From the food, the delivery and set up, G & G is terrific. Thank you.

Blessings,
Kevin

Brian,

I’m just recovering from a leftover pie coma and had to send you a quick note. You and your team absolutely outdid yourself on Saturday. I (and everyone else!) am still raving over the food, the presentation, and the service. You amazed us all with the special diet accommodations, and countless people made a point to tell me how happy they were that they could safely eat everything at the wedding.
Also- the pies. You need to market those bad boys. Especially the chocolate silk and lemon. Dear god I’ve never had such good pie.
Please let me know where/how I can leave a review or a testimonial for Garden and Garnish.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You’re the man!

I am sorry I haven’t written sooner. The party last Saturday was a huge success! The food you prepared was perfect. I had many people compliment and ask who the caterer was! The corn salad had so many compliments. It was the exact right menu for a hot July day!
Bridgette did a super job for us. She worked really hard and my sister and I enjoyed talking to her very much. She was so sweet to my Mom. Mom had a terrific 90th birthday! Thanks for all your help. I will definitely call you again! I would say stay out of the kitchen on this hot day, but I guess you can’t! Stay cool,

May 2013
Dear Brian, Cathy & Staff,

Friday night’s rehearsal dinner exceeded my expectations! Of course we had a lovely setting under the tree but that alone wouldn’t have been enough. The food was so delicious with every dish delighting the taste buds in it’s own unique way. The BBQ on corn bread was a huge hit, everyone raved about the grilled vegetables, and my personal favorite was the red potato salad. The Smith Island cakes were the perfect finish to the meal.
I wish I could remember the names of each of your staff members, but please let them know how much we appreciated their kind and gracious service. They were always around to help, always smiling and extremely professional and good at providing the kind of background help that made the evening flow smoothly and the guests feel well cared for. It was a great success and I can’t thank you enough. We hope to use you again in the future and would be happy to provide a reference anytime.

All the best,
Phyllis

Cathy and Brian,
I am so late in sending this thank-you note….we went out of the country the Friday afternoon after the Culinary meeting and I never got to send you a thank-you note for the presentation you made for Woman’s Club!
You did an amazing job and we have heard nothing but positive feedback from the presentation. The topic was so interesting and there were so many questions, I know you could have spoken for another hour, Cathy.
Cathy, I was serious when I said you should consider “taking your presentation on the road”…..your knowledge on the subject is incredible and you have a wonderfully sincere way of making the subject so real, the stories that you’ve experienced with your own children made it so personal.
The food you served was just perfect, the chicken, the fruit kabobs, and the biscuits were all delicious. I was so glad you brought some extra biscuits along and that you sold them. I did get an e-mail about contacting information and I sent it along-you may have heard from one of the gals who wanted to reach you?
Again, thank-you both for taking the time from your busy schedule to put this presentation together and for sharing @ The Woman’s Club. It was our first meeting of the year and you have raised the bar for all those who will come later. I hope to work with you again soon on another catering event. Fondly,

Elaine

Dear Brian & His Fine Staff,
Thanks for an enjoyable evening aboard Patriot Cruises. The weather held up long enough to enjoy the cruise and sunset. The food from Garden and Garnish was enjoyed by all. Most enjoyable was the chicken, crab dip, and the pulled pork. Thanks to your excellent staff, they made our evening an event to remember.

Brian

October 2012
Hi Brian,
Thank you for a wonderful dinner which received rave reviews especially the pulled pork. Everyone loved the entire menu and someone even said that the chocolate cake was the best they ever had. The staff was so helpful and accommodating and as you probably heard the entire evening was a huge success. I will mail a check to you today with a gratuity included for the wonderful service. I wish we good do a repeat next weekend with the same weather of course.
Thanks again.

Nancy
P.S. Loved the flowers from Seasonal Flowers as well. The tables looked great especially after adding some flameless votives.

Dear Brian,

Thank you so much for making the wedding a joyous, effortless, delicious, and beautiful event. So many people have complimented me on the food, and Kathy thinks you should sell your lemonade! I loved everything about everything. In in final analysis, I think having a ceremony tent and marquee was perfect. Please thank your staff. You made the event spectacular. Bill sent the check just now – please let me know if you have any problems with it.
All the best,

Emily

Hi Brian:
Steve and I want you to know that Friday night was absolutely perfect! The food was amazing, and Ernie was wonderful! The oysters were so delicious, and all but 2 were devoured. If we extended cocktail hour another hour, we probably could have gone through another round! Really. The spicy mushrooms were a perfect counterpoint to the oysters and we all enjoyed. The salad was superb; the dressing was especially good with the peppery arugula, tart goat cheese, and sweet figs. There were 2 biscuits left that we saved and shared with breakfast the next day. What can I say about the lamb and the lobsters? They were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. I never had a lobster tail so TENDER and JUICY and the combination with the lamb was beyond wonderful. Dessert was divine! Quite unnecessary after that meal, but we all agreed it was the best chocolate dessert we ever had. All in all, a perfect meal in every way, but I would expect nothing less from you.
Now Ernie! His timing was perfect; he was unobtrusive but there when we needed him. He seemed to anticipate our wants and needs. Obviously a good chef and truly a real nice guy! He was so quiet in the kitchen you wouldn’t know he was there. And the icing on the cake—the kitchen was spotless when he left. What a joy!
All in all, Brian, a truly memorable evening of decadent food and indulgent service. We’re all still talking about it today. Thank you so very much.

Sincerely,
Jean and Steve

Dear Brian,
Thanks to you and Bridget and all your staff for helping make our daughter’s July 22nd wedding so much fun. Even locals raved about those crab cakes! I heard praise for the brie, the shrimp, the caprese kabobs, the mushrooms, the biscuits, and the prime rib. You had 80+ satisfied people. Very well done. We will return your wine glass that someone dropped off at our house.

Thank you all,
Joanne

Thank you so much for making our big day so special. You were a tremendous help with the logistics too!

Thanks so much,

Dear Brian,
How can we begin to thank you and your staff for taking such good care of us and our guests during the recent wedding festivities! The family dinner held here on Thursday night was so perfect and gave all our guests a taste of the wonderful food of our Eastern Shore! We had rave reviews throughout.
The After wedding party was exactly as we had hoped. Your presentation of foods offered on both occasions was to be commended. Everything was fresh and delectable and just kept coming as dishes were getting emptied. I so appreciated your attentiveness to the clean up and food storage after the events. That was such a gift to me!!
I was extremely proud of our events this past weekend, however, it was you and your excellent staff that made so much of it possible. Thank you again, so very much.
Please know you are on my speed dial from now on!!

Sincerely,
Lynne

Hey Brian,
I just wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for everything that you helped with for our wedding day. Everything went absolutely perfectly and that seems to be the consensus when speaking with friends and family as well. Outside of the weather I’m pretty sure you had a hand or opinion in every detail and really couldn’t be more appreciative as Kristin and I both had the best night of our lives. The attendees are still talking/tweeting/facebooking about the food. If there is anyone in the future who would like to speak with past customers please feel free to put me on a list to contact either through email or phone to discuss with them. I’m sure we will see each other in the future for other family reunions/weddings/events as well since everything has been great that you’ve worked with myself and my family on. Hope all is well and thanks again!

Hello Brian & Cathy,

Dear G & G,
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!! It was brilliant and enjoyed by everyone. A special thanks to the chefs who cooked and provided food; the children said it was delicious (but healthy). (There were compliments from the adults too who had anticipated Burgers.) It just looked so good. Funny how things go; as always the handed round desserts hit the spot, but we had people from the deep south who wanted to know about the sweet potato biscuits. One child was overwhelmed with the asparagus. So many stayed over that we served dinner; lucky that I anticipated “Bangers and Mash with Baked Beans, enough to feed an army or children who had spent the day in the pool or maybe their parents! From the sublime to the ridiculous!!! Thank you so much too, to Ernie and Bridget who let me enjoy the party.

Dear Brian,
Back from cloud 9.
You handled a big wedding in a small area the best I have ever seen. Hope you were not too stressed. It looked easy and flawless. A few of our guests who are professional planners and caterers kept commenting how excellent the buffet (which I never saw) looked and how perfect the food presentation was and of course I did eat so I did not need them to tell me the food was superb. Thank you so much for all you did. Your staff was also excellent. The bar tenders had many comments on their kindness, speed and professionalism.

I will look forward to working together again in the future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our wedding day which took a long time coming meet all our dreams!

Jessica

You (and I am pretty experienced having been a cater, worked for caterers and hired many caterers) just simply are FANTASTIC, the best! Yes, push play is all that will be required.

Breaking down some tables may really work! Will know more about how many…after we set up Thursday and Friday.

Thanks for being willing to manage that and the punch glasses!! CANNOT WAIT…I am so excited. You are getting a SHOUT out on Coleman’s facebook page today as being AMAZING.

Jessica

Hi Brian,
Sorry I missed you on Friday! Your spread was beautifully presented, and the food was GREAT! We got a lot of positive comments about everything, and I especially loved your spinach artichoke dip and the pita chips. And the cookies were awesome too (I sampled each kind). Actually, I sampled everything on the table and was QUITE pleased. Thanks again for some fabulous food!

Dear Brian,
Now that I have recovered (somewhat) from the events of Saturday, I wanted to thank you and your wonderful staff for a job well done. We could not have been more pleased with the food, with the service, and with the hard work all of you did that evening. And we all agreed that you were absolutely correct about everything: the fact that you have a very accomplished staff (so many people commented on that), the amount of food, the amount of liquor and wine (we thought we would need more, so have had quite a bit left over), and the fact you and your staff could have in fact gotten all the tables set up. And we appreciated the great clean up your staff did. Best of all, my very particular husband declared that the oysters were absolutely delicious!

While I do not plan to do any more entertaining for quite some time, you may be sure I plan to recommend your business highly!
Battle

Dear Brian,

To Chef Brian Schmidt,
I would like to personally thank you for your services with our dinner on March 3, 2010. Although I did not personally have the opportunity to sample the food I did however receive word that it was highly praised and on a scale of 1 to 10 it received a 10.

I would also like to thank you for the prompt service and response as well as your suggestions for the menu when changes were needed to be made. I will definitely keep you and your company in mind for future use.

Only suggestion I may have for you is to maybe leave some cards for guest to contact your company. I am sure that some of the people in attendance would have liked contact information for your company.

Thank you,
Philip

Summer 2007
Dear Brian,
I wanted to write and let you know how pleased we were with our party in August, and a great deal of that was due to your fine food and service. Everyone raved about the delicious dishes you prepared, the freshness of the vegetables, the taste and tenderness of the chicken, and the wonderful crab cakes (and I make darn good crab cakes myself!), not to mention the great hard shell crabs. Not only was the food delicious, but many people commented on how pleasant, sweet, and easy going you were, as well as your staff Sally and Michelle. And you cleaned up so well that I didn’t have to do a thing in my kitchen for it to be ready for me to cook breakfast the next morning for our many house guests! Thanks for that too!
Please feel free to give our names as references as we would highly recommend you to anyone having a party needing a caterer, and without question, we will call you again for any future parties we give.
Thanks again for a great job.
Sincerely,
Betty & Rob
