About

Congratulations on your big day! You’ve chosen the most beautiful place on earth to celebrate your love, and we are so ready to help you bring that paradise vision to life.

At Destination Catering & Events, we’re known for more than just incredible island flavors—we’re known for becoming a true part of your family’s story. One of our proudest recent moments was celebrating a full-circle journey that spans over a decade: we catered a couple’s wedding, returned ten years later to cater their anniversary, and now, we are so honored to have just booked the wedding for the husband’s son--from his first marriage. Being there for the milestones that define a family is exactly why we love what we do.

We specialize in making each wedding feel like a unique escape. Imagine your guests gathered in a lush tropical garden or on a white-sand beachfront, soaking in the warmth of a Key West sunset. As the stars fill the sky, we serve up authentic Caribbean-inspired cuisine made with fresh, local ingredients that capture the vibrant, bold spirit of the islands.

With almost 20 years of experience across the Florida Keys, our team handles every detail—from full-service catering to seamless event planning—so you can focus entirely on the love and the joy of the moment. We’re here to turn your dream into a breathtaking reality and create a celebration as unforgettable as the island itself.

Destination Catering should be your destination!

My husband and I got married in December and chose Destination Catering for our wedding. We could not have made a better decision! From start to finish we had such a wonderful experience. Our wedding planner Vicky helped me navigate table/chair set ups and communicated with Abby seamlessly to get our rentals taken care of beforehand as part of our package. The staff were WONDERFUL and the food was amazing. My vegetarian sister, who isn’t typically “wowed” by food even made a point to tell me later that the vegetarian meal was one of the best she’s ever had. Abby and her team were true professionals and we have nothing but great things to say about them. We truly felt taken care off all night and we were so happy to offer our guests such delicious food. 100% recommend!

Highly recommend them no matter the size of the event

We had a our wedding in Key West in December, 2020. Chef Warren's catering team was professional and punctual. The catering staff was friendly and helpful. Chef Warren was always available upon request. Chef Warren went above and beyond by visiting the wedding venue 3-4 times for walkthrough and in preparation for the wedding. Chef Warren and his catering staff also ensured safety and followed COVID-19 protocols by wearing face shields, gloves, etc. The food was absolutely great, delicious and lovely presentation! Chef Warren created a special menu that incorporated two different cuisines to accommodate the two different backgrounds of the bride and groom. The catering staff paid extra attention to food allergies. Highly recommend them no matter the size of the event.

Kind people

I want to thank Destination Catering for being so wonderful throughout our whole wedding process. We actually had to cancel our March 21, 2020 wedding due to CO-VID, and they refunded everything 100% just five days before our big day. It was heartbreaking to have to cancel our dream wedding (just eloped instead due to time constraints), but their understanding and flexibility was heartwarming. Not to mention throughout the whole process how responsive and helpful they were. If we ever do an event in KW, we will be calling you! Thank you!

Professional staff and Delicious Food!

We hired destination catering for our wedding at Fort Zachary Taylor. I was initially impressed by the chef’s personal phone call in the beginning to offer an individualized menu and flexible pricing. I then worked with Abby while planning and signing contracts from miles away! I didn’t even schedule a tasting because we live in Indiana. I will say I was so impressed with how delicious the food was and how professional the entire catering staff was. It blew me away!

Destination Catering was a fantastic choice

We just got married 3/3/19 at Fort Zachary Taylor, and I cannot recommend Abby and Destination Catering enough. They were very responsive via email in the months/weeks/days leading up to the event, and they were able to accommodate our guests' dietary needs easily. The staff on site were very thoughtful, kind, and professional. Most importantly, though, the food was DELICIOUS. We went with a beach BBQ buffet, and everyone was genuinely raving about the food (especially the lobster macaroni and cheese).

We recently held our wedding in Key West in April and used destination catering to cater our meal and reception and did they ever go above and beyond! Superb service, Amazing jerk chicken and key lime pie, the meal was hot and on time, the open bar was well stocked, and they even helped us rearrange our venue due to weather conditions. Not to mention... we really didn't give them much notice before hand as we didn't call to book until a couple weeks before. They were very quick to respond and flexible to meet our needs. Also, our venue (Key West Garden Club) wasn't going to tell us about a concert going on at the time of our wedding right next door until Destination Catering advised them that they should. It is clear that Destination Catering really focuses on giving their customer the best experience possible and they exceeded our expectations in every way! Thank you so much for everything Warren and Abby!!

Working with Warren and Abby at Destination Catering was the best decision we could have made. Chef Warren is extremely talented and everything we tasted was delicious. It made it hard to narrow down a menu- they can literally make anything and will make your culinary dreams come true. I also appreciated that they have a pastry chef on staff and it made planning and execution of cake and dessert seamless. Their onsite staff was attentive and professional.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
