Supportive Team, Great Communication, Amazing Food!

The team at CK Catering is awesome. Communication was so clear throughout the whole process, both via email and phonecalls/video calls as needed. I always understood exactly what was needed from me and what our timeline was. Our final few planning calls as we nailed down the floor plan and menu were honestly so fun, we loved talking to Melissa and Alyssa and found them both so helpful and energetic.

There's so many menu options and everything was incredibly delicious, I definitely recommend going to the group tasting event. They also make your options and how the different menu types/payment tiers work extremely easy to understand in the brochure they give you there. They are also very on top of things when it comes to food allergies, and the staff is very knowledgeable about ingredients in things like sauces or salad dressings, where allergens can sometimes sneak in. We had a few food allergies and vegetarian/vegan restrictions on our guest list and they were able to accommodate everyone easily, so we didn't have to worry about that at all.

When I wasn't clear on how to use the payment portal, I was able to call them and receive help with zero issues, making the process very smooth. I found everyone we communicated with super helpful, kind, supportive, and fun to work with.

Set up seemed perfect on the day of the wedding - we weren't at the venue yet and everything seemed to go according to plan and we noticed zero problems, which was so appreciated on a busy day with a million things to think about! We didn't have to think about the catering at all, which is a huge compliment. And of course everyone loved their food! This was a wonderful experience and I'd recommend them to everyone.

Wonderful People! Awesome Service and food.

We hired Country Kitchen Catering LLC for our son’s wedding at Tiscornia Beach in Benton Harbor on July 26, 2025, using the Lions Pavilion—and they absolutely exceeded our expectations! From the beginning, their communication was prompt and professional. The timing of the food service was spot on, the quote was more than fair, and most importantly, the food was wonderful. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Guests are still raving about it! I highly recommend them for any special event—reliable, affordable, and delicious!

Great Food, Great Staff

We had a great experience with CK! We did both a group and an individual tasting and found so many delicious things, it was hard to choose! We ended up doing the casual menu with the buffet. The disposable plates were still gorgeous and didn't diminish the atmosphere at all. All of the food was delicious and the staff were kind and helpful. We would definitely recommend!

The BEST Wedding Food!

We chose CK Catering for our wedding and could not recommend them enough!! One of our main goals for our reception was to make sure our guests got to eat before too long, and got some good food as well! The CK Catering team (shout out to Alyssa and Melissa) was excellent in communication, and helped us craft a menu that was simple but also catered to various dietary restrictions. We went with a buffet-style meal, and it worked tremendously. We’ve had multiple people pull us aside to tell us it’s the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. We’re so happy CK Catering was able to satisfy all our guests and make our night so special!

Amazing!

CK Catering was perfect for our wedding! EVERYONE raved about the food at our wedding. The food and the team are great. Annabelle was so helpful and responsive and made sure everything went well for the wedding. She really helped to minimize the amount of stress for the big day.
We also enjoyed that CK had private and group tastings. Yes, we did both, and we recommend doing both! Bob was great during the private tasting and answered all our questions.
We are so thankful for CK Catering, the service they provided for our wedding, and the quality of their food (saying so as a bride who chose an OUTDOOR venue!).

Amazing Food & Staff!

CK Catering had great service from the get-go! Everything went so smooth with them - from planning to executing the catering at our wedding, we felt we could trust them with every aspect related to food on our special day. We had a shorter engagement period, so we were just really happy that CK was able to fit us into their already busy schedule. We decided to go with them for catering because the food we tried at the tasting was delicious, but the food on the day of our wedding was even more superb! All our guests complimented the food! Wendy was so helpful in guiding us through the process of planning everything and on our actual wedding day, CK's staff was so efficient that we didn't notice they were there until the food was already out. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Wonderful!

I cannot recommend CK Catering enough! We worked with Gale as our coordinator, who was absolutely amazing. She helped walk me through every step of the details and decisions and offered genuinely helpful recommendations to keep things more in budget. The day of service was also amazing and the food was delicious! We received great compliments. My favorites were the harvest salad with apple cider vinaigrette, the pork loin with red wine reduction sauce, and the horseradish and parmesan smashed potatoes. We also had a dessert bar of cider and donuts, which were the best -- the donuts come from a local orchard I grew up going to, so they were very special and delicious! And instead of passed appetizers, we did a charcuterie board, which was a huge hit. The staff day of were great at getting the salads and bread to tables for family style serving, then dismissing tables in an orderly fashion for buffet service. They also cut and plated our cake for us, which was great. You can't go wrong by choosing CK!

(Bride and Groom) Excellent Review

Everything from the planning, to the day of service, to the quality of food was above and beyond what we could have imagined. It has been 2x weeks since the wedding, and we are still receiving compliments from guests about how much they enjoyed the food and how professional and efficient the service was.

All in all, we couldn’t imagine a more perfect day, and while we are so impressed with the day-of execution, none of that would have been possible without the incredible planning, communication and organization from the CK team behind the scenes from the very beginning stages leading up to the big day.

Top Notch Service

All we can say is WOW! CK Catering knows what they are doing! The service was wonderful! Bob and Wendy are experts and helped us figure everything out after we had an issue with our original food months before we got married. They helped us feel at ease knowing that everything would be handled and have a wonderful catering them! The food was expectational! We did a tasting, but ultimately went with a taco bar and it was a huge hit at our wedding in Jan. 2023! They even went above and beyond for our guest with food allergies/preferences! Highly recommend working with CK Catering for your events!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
