    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

    Forklift Catering's reply:

    Thank you Sean! We loved working with you and are delighted that you had such a positive experience. Creative, beautiful, and delicious - that's our favorite way to be described!

    Wedding dreams come true!

    I cannot recommend Forklift enough!! If you are looking for creativity, flexibility, and the most amazing special touches for your wedding, look no further than Forklift. Seriously. From planning to execution, everything was truly flawless. Kristen worked with us to create a completely customized menu of all our favorite foods and drinks (AND with multiple celiacs in my family, a 100% gluten free menu — apps, dinner, and dessert). They went way above and beyond - recommending other vendors, helping us with design questions, to executing on even our craziest requests (e.g. tacos and frozen margaritas, and somehow made it classy?). Everything was plated beautifully, the day-of staff were amazing, and all of the little details came together perfectly. Our guests are still talking about the food! A sincere thank you to all at Forklift for making all of our catering dreams come true :)
