  • Thank you to the Goodness Gracious team for making my 30th birthday celebration so incredibly memorable!

    The team was fantastic and all of our guests had an incredible time. We were all blown away by the food and the overall experience. We will certainly use Goodness Gracious for future celebrations!

  • We HIGHLY recommend Goodness Gracious for your next event. As a party of six visiting Sonoma from NYC, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    Our meal was delicious! We had our cheeseboard in the living room while they prepared the kitchen space beautifully and cooked us a delicious meal. We had such a wonderful event!

  • I always know what to say, however, the experiences with Goodness Gracious have left me at a loss for words!

    What an out of this world experience. We used Goodness Gracious for Yoga and Brunch and then again for an evening dinner. They made everything special, and best of all, when they left--our home and kitchen looked as if nothing happened, how did they do that, I have no idea! Can't wait to be back to do this all over again!!!! Thank you!!!!

  • The team at Goodness Gracious planned, set up and served us a magical New Year's Eve dinner for our group of 10, complete with caviar and champagne!

    They did a wonderful job of decorating and plating, the food was expertly prepared, and they explained each dish and bottle of wine and its local origins and why selected for this meal. Everyone was happy and full and ready to toast to a new year. Very professional, kind and friendly. Will definitely work with them again, and recommend them to others!
