Incredible food and impecable service

We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding reception. Kaitlyn at Chef's Choice listened to our requests, and helped us plan a non-traditional dinner of hors d'oeuvres that allowed our guests to roam Krohn Conservatory and explore the venue while chatting.

Kaitlyn helped us plan the right amount of food for our guests and plan the timing perfectly. The team took extra care to ensure me and my husband were both fed and had drinks in our hands!

We cannot recommend Chef's Choice enough. We got so many compliments on the food all evening.

Tasty Food

The food was delicious! My personal favorite was the bacon wrapped maple sweet potato bites. We got lots of compliments about how tasty the food was and the variety we had. The staff were very on top of everything and made sure to check in with my husband and I to make sure we got food as well.

Wonderful food & amazing customer experience!

Chef's choice was amazing to work with for my wedding and rehearsal dinner! I was planning my wedding from out of town, and they arranged multiple tastings and take out food for my parents to have at home for me when I was delayed getting back one weekend. Allison was so nice and helpful throughout all of planning. The food for the rehearsal dinner and wedding was amazing, and people have been commenting to me a week after my wedding! Would definitely recommend!

Amazing food and service at a good price

We loved Chef's Choice Catering! We received numerous compliments on the food and service. We had a great experience with them. Allison is amazing. If you get her, you are in great hands! There wasn't a single time that I emailed her about something that I didn't get a reply to the next morning (I tend to email in the evenings). Anything I had questions about, she answered them easily.

We decided on stations and went back and forth numerous times fine tuning the menu. Again, response time was next day or better.

We did do a tasting, so we had samples of all of the dishes. Unfortunately for us, our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and we didn't get a chance to try everything. The guests assured us that everything was delicious.

The staff was wonderful. They kept things moving and clean. Any time either I or the bride needed anything, they were right there to take care of it.

Chef's Choice was super responsive and we had a menu and quote within weeks of reaching out! They offer free tasting which was wonderful given some of our other experiences. Allison and her team were amazing to work with on the day of. The staff assigned to our head table was quick with a drink and very pleasant! Our guests raved about our food and I was even asked for their info for a cousin's upcoming 2018 wedding. I highly recommend their services to anyone in search of an event caterer.

Chef's Choice was absolutely AMAZING. My husband and I had to plan our wedding from a distance, but Chef's Choice made this so easy. Allison was SO responsive to every email. She was willing to let our mothers come for a full tasting AND let us have our own tasting later in the month. The price was on point and they were very accommodating with letting us try many different options.

But most importantly- THEIR FOOD IS AMAZING. My dad is very particular about how beef tenderloin is prepared and he was FLOORED by how delicious the meat was. I sampled 3 of Cincinnati's "top caterers" beef tenderloin, and theirs was hands down the best. AND they were able to make it taste that same way for a large crowd of 190 guests! Very impressive. The vegetable sides, mashed potatoes, chicken, salad, rolls were also delicious!

As far as the wedding day- the staff was AMAZING. I was extremely impressed by their professionalism and willingness to make our day perfect. The rumor is "you don't eat on your wedding day"...well they helped me beat the odds on that! During the cocktail hour the catering staff found me and my husband with signature drinks and plates full of our passed appetizers. My husband and I never went to the bar once (they were constantly making sure our cups were full), and they walked to the buffet line with us and served us our dinners. Even during my dad's toast- I knocked his champagne on the ground by accident, and when he got back to his seat there was a full glass waiting :) The guests said the bartenders did an amazing job and it was the best wedding food they've ever had. Additionally, the catering staff was literally on their hands and knees ensuring the dance floor remained dry and did not get sticky from spilled drinks!! At the end of the night the entire staff was waiting in the back and I personally thanked them all for doing such an amazing job. Everyone was extremely impressed by their professionalism & the service was above and beyond!

Chef's choice was SO great for our wedding! Kristie was extremely responsive and helpful in picking our menu and running through different pricing options. They can make any menu vision come to life at a price that can't be beat, so don't be afraid to ask if you want something specific. I loved that they sent me the full quote from day one with all charges laid out clearly- no hidden fees at all! We went to a private and group tasting, all free of charge which was amazing. The food is also fantastic- all of our guests could not stop talking about it. Chef's choice staff during our wedding went above and beyond!! Honestly, we could not believe how awesome they were. They kept checking in with us (bride and groom) to see if we needed any more food or drink refills or anything else. They also brought two trays of appetizers to the ceremony space while we took pictures so the wedding party could have some! The main lady in charge of the catering at our wedding told me that it was her anniversary and that she was so happy to be at a wedding while her husband was away- she was one of the best things about our day! I could not recommend this company enough! You will not be disappointed!

Kristie at Chef's Choice was incredible to work with! She was so useful when I was trying to decide on meals, appetizers, and a late night snack. She always answered my questions, provided suggestions, and never made me feel guilty for being clueless at times! The day of, everything went so smoothly. You barely noticed that Chef's Choice staff members were their serving you because they were quiet and professional. No one had dirty plates on their tables and were always taken care of. The portions were HUGE! So many people told me how much they loved our dishes and actually felt full after their meal. We had a late night coney bar, which was also a hit. The options for dinner dishes, appetizers, and late night snacks were endless...we struggled to decide what to get because of the various choices. For the amount of food our guests got and the total price, it was definitely affordable. I would absolutely recommend Chef's Choice for someone's reception or event!

We were so happy with everything! The planning process was so easy with Allison. She was quick to reply to all of my questions and very helpful. Our tasting was delicious & very informative. We met with a couple other caterers before making our decision and Chef's Choice was by far the best choice. The pricing and services offered exceeded the other companies by far. When it came to the day of the wedding, everything exceeded our expectation. The staff was so accommodating and friendly, the food was delicious and the presentation was perfect. We would recommend Chef's Choice to everyone. My husband is a Chef so trust me, this was a big decision we had to make and he was very happy with the outcome.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
