Amazing food, great service and price!

Don and his crew did an amazing job if i could give them more stars I would!
From the very beginning Don made everything so easy and he was so accommodating to use despite our distance away from him. Meeting him initially was great and he gave us a quick run down and reasonable quote very quickly.
As our wedding date grew closer Don got into the finer details and made sure we had everything in order - and even helped us with the things we did not think of ahead of time! The day of Don and his team completely took control and managed everything to make sure the entire day ran smoothly!

And the food! What can I say other than INCREDIBLE! I received so many compliments from guests and staff alike about how good the food was! Even the staff with our DJ commented that the food was the best that they have had at the events they had done - and that alone says so much!

Now I am stuck trying to think of other events we can have them cater! Trust me, you will not go wrong with Kelsey's catering!

I wish I had pictures to go along with my review, but everything was tastefully laid out and just what we wanted! I can not thank him and his staff enough!

Don at Kelsey’s Catering

Don was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout our entire experience. He was very knowledgeable and encouraging with our choices, and to top it off the food was excellent. The charcuterie table he provided was amazing and the Prime rib was delicious.

Wedding weekend made amazing by our caterer!

Kelsey’s Catering and BBQ did both our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception at Windridge Estate Redbarn 20 June 2022. Chef Don Cottet went above and beyond to make our wedding a dream come true. Our wedding guests were blown away by both our rehearsal dinner, where we had amazing and delicious bbq and our reception which was buffet style. The highlight was the our charcuterie board during our cocktail hour though. It was absolutely gorgeous and so so good!!! Everyone was taking pictures because the set up was 5 stars! Chef Don even had a charcuterie board make for us that was engraved with our names which he presented the day of our wedding. Working with Chef Don and the team of Kelsey’s Catering is a blast..so fun, easy going and will provide you excellent service.

Outstanding!

My husband and I used Kelsey's Catering and BBQ for our wedding in 2016. I cannot express how amazing the entire experience was. Don and his crew go above and beyond to make the day stress free. We did a BBQ style buffet and had a great variety of options. To this day when friends and family talk about our wedding they ALWAYS mention how incredible the food was. I will definitely use Kelsey's for any future catering I need!! You will not find a better quality, taste, price or genuine group of people than you will at Kelsey's. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed!
