TGIS Catering Services has been catering events across Long Beach and the wider Los Angeles area since 1989. The business operates five of its own "TGIS Exclusive" event venues — including The Betty, The Mayne Events Center, MOLAA, The Centre, and the Natural History Museum of LA — and lists 26 additional preferred venues it caters at regularly, each with an address on its own site.
TGIS has won two International Caterers Association "Achievement in Catering Excellence" (ACE) awards specifically for wedding and micro-event catering — Best Catered Wedding and Best Catered Micro Event — along with two Best Appetizer wins from the same association and an ACE award for product and technology innovation.
Its published pricing is drawn from a corporate meal-service menu (breakfast and lunch tiers running $11.25 to $26.95 per person) rather than a dedicated wedding package, and the business adds a production fee on top of food cost — 10% for disposable/setup service, 22% for full-service events — which it states explicitly is separate from gratuity. Labor is billed by role at $28 to $40 per hour.
TGIS doesn't publish wedding-specific per-head pricing or guest minimums; call for a quote tailored to your date, guest count and venue.
Full-service event caterer operating five of its own venues plus 26 preferred partner venues across LA County; two ACE wedding-catering awards on record (Best Catered Wedding, Best Catered Micro Event).
TGIS stepped in and saved our wedding day. Our guests still talk about the tacos with mini margaritas, the mini beef Wellingtons, and the entrées that actually had flavor.
For dinner we had braised short ribs, melt-in-your-mouth delicious. In lieu of a large wedding cake, TGiS suggested and served a butter crumb cake with homemade caramel and ice cream.
For dinner we started with the duet salad which everyone loved, and for entrees we had filet and salmon which were both better than I've had at some 5-star hotel catering menus.
