The "Feisty" Team was such a pleasure to work with. They were kind-hearted people who knew how to cook! They were exceptionally organized and prepared for my wedding day, and everyone in my wedding party loved them! We had a Sunday brunch wedding and our guests raved about the food- it was delicious! I HIGHLY recommend working with them; you won't be disappointed!!

I could not be happier with my decision to hire Culinary Delights by Feist to cater my husband’s 60th birthday party for 30 people in our home. From the beginning, John Fiest demonstrated a very professional and organized approach to his work that he elegantly coupled with a very relaxed and calming style. His pre-meeting questionnaire helped me to focus on my needs for my event. John used my answers to create a tasting based on what I asked for but then built on that by brining additional dishes and ideas to help me expand my thinking, for which I was grateful. During our initial meeting, he surveyed my home and quickly made spot-on suggestions for setting up the flow of my event. On the day of the party, John and his team swooped in and expertly set up with me not having to lift a finger. Throughout the party, they continually read the crowd and adjusted the food and set up to accommodate the needs of my guests and the flow of the party. John and his team strike that right balance of being inconspicuous while always seeming to be there right when you need them. My party was such a success that guests continued to linger past the end time. Despite that, John and his team somehow managed to clean up in stealth mode without impacting the guests leaving me with nothing to have to do. I definitely will call on Culinary Delights by Feist again for future events.

We used Culinary Delights by Feist for our reception catering. They were flexible with our catering plan and menu, with a personalized menu that we and our guests really enjoyed. John Feist (owner) and Jason (chef) came to our house to provide meal and cake tastings despite us living in Arlington, and gave us a detailed description of the items that would be offered. The menu selections were quite good and made to order, providing fresh steak tenderloin, delicious salmon, and fresh cooked vegetables for our reception. The cocktail hour menu was also well enjoyed. The servers were attentive and Jill (catering manager) worked with us closely to provide a carefully orchestrated event. We would definitely recommend them!

Where to start with Culinary Delights…wow. This small business truly goes above and beyond for their client in ways I could never expect from anyone. I felt like the most special, important bride in the world working with Chef John, Chef Jason, and the indispensable Jill. From the personalized private tastings to everything being PERFECT the day of the rehearsal dinner and the reception, my family and I are completely blown away by the level of service this company provides. It is unparalleled, and I feel so lucky to have found them for my wedding day. Chef Jason’s food was above and beyond what I could’ve wanted at my wedding. It wasn’t anywhere close to the typical wedding fare/airplane food I have had at so many weddings, it was memorable and cooked from the heart- buffet style! I honestly wasn’t sure that was even possible. The plated dinner at our reception had my friends and family eating off each other’s plates, laughing, and truly in food Heaven. Braised beef, pasta carbonara, the BEST quesadilla bread any of us could imagine…and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Jill is one-of-a-kind and the kind of person everyone hopes to have on their team. She went so far beyond her job description to make sure my wedding was everything I could dream it could be, while also taking care of my mom, my groom, and the wedding party. Every detail was so perfect. I’m so grateful to Culinary Delights and if you are thinking about contacting them, please don’t hesitate!

Culinary Delights by Feist was a joy to work with. The first time we spoke with Jill it was like talking to an old friend. When the chefs came for the tasting they gave us many great ideas that made the wedding extra special. Many of the guests said they thought the food was the best they had at a wedding and compared it to a fine restaurant. We were very pleased from start to finish! Thank you team Feist for helping to make our big day a great start to our life together.

From our very first tasting, we knew that the Feist team was the perfect choice for our wedding caterer. John Feist, Jason the chef, and Jill the event coordinator came over to our house, which made the tasting comfortable and personalized. Jason is a very creative chef and put together a menu that was well-received by our guests, but still very reflective of dishes that are special to our family (broccoli pizza, anyone?) He invented a signature cocktail for us that incorporated lavender and honey (our theme) which we called the Bee's Knees. My guests are still talking about the cocktail and asking for the recipe! He also provided many creative solutions to my husband's gluten allergy, which was so appreciated! You can tell immediately that John has a lot of experience with weddings and knows what is necessary for a perfect day. We really loved that the menu is flexible up to 2 weeks before the wedding. As anyone planning a wedding knows, flexibility is always an important thing. And Jill, the event coordinator, is a real treasure. She made sure that all of the details were discussed and covered and she did a fantastic job of making sure that everything worked out perfectly on the day. Not only did she make sure that everyone in the bridal party always had a glass in their hand on the wedding day, she seemed to genuinely enjoy herself too. This is a lady who loves her job and will make your day special! One of our best decisions was to have Feist cater both our rehearsal dinner and wedding dinner. If that is an option for you, I highly recommend it - it streamlines planning and set up and then you will know that both events will be perfect!

When I first met John, he came to our house and did a personal tasting! I remember he said to me "If two weeks before the wedding you wake up and decide you want sugar plums, we will make it happen!". I knew at that point, we had to hire him because he had a passion for making people's special days, exactly how they wanted it. We loved that at culinary delights by feist was also willing to take personal, favorite recipes and make them for the wedding! He and his staff were MORE than accommodating for severe allergies and food alterations, they took it extremely seriously which was more than comforting. The entire night of our wedding, people kept telling us how great the food was!! We highly recommend John and Culinary Delights by Feist as they completely met our expectations! You will have the best experience with them, and you'll never see John without a smile on his face, as he is the friendliest guy!

John, Jill & the staff of Culinary Delights are truly exceptional. From the initial inquiry, to last-minute tablecloth questions, to finalizing menus, John & Jill were very responsive to any questions that I ever had. John comes to YOU, yes, that's right, to YOU, for the tasting, at the comfort of your own house and feeds you delicious food that you pick beforehand- all you have to do is respond to his food survey. From the tasting, you can tweak the menu to your liking and John offers great suggestions. He suggested a family-style serving style (which I loved), We settled on a flank steak and a sauteed trout with lemon caper sauce. For appetizers, we had passed hors d'oeuvres - chicken satay (but John let us include my mom's Malaysian peanut sauce recipe with it!!), empanadas (apparently they were to-die-for,my husband was raving about them and I didn't get chance to eat much that day, and stuffed mushrooms (Maggiano's style.. one of my family faves). Also, John made a point to come to my husband and I during the cocktail hour and make sure we were able to eat some of the appetizers, and I wish I had eaten more of it, for some reason I thought there would be more time but the day really does go by so fast! My husband loved them and so did all the guests. The bartenders were also amazing, so nice, courteous, and efficient and we provided them with 2 signature drinks and they nailed it. John is so easy and flexible when it comes to the menu and is willing to do anything you need or want. My mom, who is very religious, insisted that all of the meat were to be Halal and John respected her wishes and made sure that all of the meat was Halal so that all the Muslim guests would be able to eat it. Wow- if that's not superior service- tell me what is!? Thank you so much John, Jill and staff for the most perfect day and night of my life! You truly are a special team.

It was an absolute joy working with John Feist and his team. Culinary Delights helped to make our wedding reception exactly what we wanted it to be. Chef John Feist, Chef Jason, and our day-of-coordinator Tracy were attentive, flexible, accommodating, and helpful. My wife and I can't express how grateful we were for their hard work and service. We highly recommend Culinary Delights for anyone looking for a catering company that is professional, personal, and top-notch. Thanks again!

John, Jill, and the rest of the Culinary Delights team were more and did more than my (now) husband and I could ever begin to imagine. They made the planning process WAY easier than people warn you; they obviously enjoy what they do AND they are pros at it!

Jill, our coordinator, went above and beyond our expectations. She took time out of her day to help me with DIY ideas, planned the timeline and logistics of the wedding and reception, made sure everything and everyone was in place the entire time, ensured all guests were happy and comfortable, and actually made a few pre-wedding decisions for me when I wasn't sure. Beyond all of that, which is already seemingly overwhelming for any normal person, she was fun to be around!

John was an absolutely joy to work with and be around. He knows what he's doing and isn't afraid to say something won't work, which I think is critical to the planning process for something as big as a wedding! There wasn't a topic he didn't hit when we went over the menu and reception, so we all felt incredibly prepared throughout. The menu was amazing! My guests are still talking about how incredible the food was.

They were also very accommodating, as I wanted a special touch for desserts. My grandmother, mother-in-law, and my maid of honor all made something, which worked perfectly because of the flexibility of the Culinary Delights team!

I would work with this team a hundred times over - everything was beyond perfect!
