Amazing food and presentation

Forklift did an incredible job on our recent wedding. The first caterer we had chosen let us know that they were unable to cater the wedding a few months before the date. They told us that they would only use Forklift for their own wedding and made the introduction. Kristen was able to take over without skipping a beat and set up a tasting immediately. We were blown away by the food – absolutely delicious. Kristen curated the perfect menu for our vision and suggested a family-style set-up, which was perfect for our small wedding of 80 people. The presentation and variety of options was also very impressive. Many of our guests told us that it was the best food they had ever tasted (let alone at a wedding) and that they wished that they had a restaurant! The staff was so professional – they made the evening seamless and perfect. We could not recommend Forklift more for any catering needs you may have!

Delicious Food and Excellent Service

Kristen, Autumn and the entire team at Forklift elevated our wedding from excellent to extraordinary. Every single guest we heard from during the reception and after praised the cuisine and variety — as well as the incredibly attentive servers — and many said it was the best wedding dinner they had ever eaten. While we're obviously inclined to agree — it was our wedding, after all — the entire process of working with Forklift also leaves nothing but a good taste in our mouths. From accommodating our weird and slightly handmade signature cocktail requests (tomato water martinis for the win!) to their quick attention to every outstanding detail no matter the size, we cannot speak highly enough about this wonderful group. Regardless of what you order, your guests will not be disappointed.

Great catering experience for a wedding!

Kristen & her team at Forklift were absolutely incredible to work with! They were communicative and thoughtful throughout the planning process. From tasting to the actual wedding reception, Forklift’s food was creative, beautiful and most importantly delicious! 10/10
