Built over generations. Defined by excellence.
A Family Standard, Carried Forward
Gourmet Advisory was founded nearly five decades ago by Harriette Rose Katz on the belief that every celebration should be personal, meaningful and memorable. A trailblazer in the special events industry, she established a standard of excellence that continues to define the company today.
For more than 30 years, Harriette’s daughter, Melissa Rosenbloom, and niece, Claudia Warner, have been at the center of Gourmet Advisory. Trained by Harriette and working alongside her, they developed their own expertise, relationships and perspective along the way. Today, as partners, they continue to lead Gourmet Advisory.
Together with an accomplished team of producers, designers and event professionals, Melissa and Claudia create celebrations that are thoughtful, distinctive and entirely personal.
