Creative, Flexible, Professional

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.

The BEST Team for catering!

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!!

Great food, reasonably priced for the quality!

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!

I appreciated working with John and his staff on a recent wedding at Sunset Crest Manor. The spread they put out for the cocktail hour was the best I have ever seen! What a huge selection of very different but fabulous offerings! Not only is their food the very best, they are a great bunch to work with. John took a lead in the rehearsal as well and made everything run smoothly. You will get exactly what you want in working with them!
