Kiss the Chef Catering, LLC

WOW—just wow. The food was absolutely incredible! The chicken… I still get compliments months later, and people are obsessed trying to figure out exactly how it was made. Every bite was perfection.
I had my heart set on the mini squash from our tasting, and even though Chef Ed didn’t promise anything (he’s all about serving only what’s in season at its absolute peak, which we loved), he made it happen—and it was just as dreamy as I remembered. Truly above and beyond!
Working with Chef Ed and his team was an absolute joy—they’re professional, kind, and so easygoing. Everything they prepared, from cocktail hour mini burgers and grilled cheese with tomato soup to the main meal, was a hit with every single guest. We were over the moon, and honestly, our wedding food set a whole new standard. We cannot recommend Chef Ed and his team enough—they are nothing short of magical!

When looking for a catering chef, look no further! Meeting Chef Ed and his director, Michael have been a dream come true for our small reception. When other vendors wouldn't even respond to our inquiries, we were met with the kindest, most accommodating and professional attention that simply just doesn't exist anymore. Can't can't explain how grateful we are for their efforts and services. Looking forward to our wedding reception, because they are going to be there!! Can't wait to see the faces on our guests when they take a bite! Our tasting was out of this world and beyond our wildest imagination in the realm of possibilities for us. They're not only willing to cater for us, but going above and beyond with generosity. Thank you for gracing our lives with your abilities and talent.

Although our wedding isn’t until December 2026, we already feel incredibly confident in our decision to work with Chef Ed and Michael based on the amazing experience we’ve had so far.

From the very beginning, they made us feel valued and genuinely excited about our wedding. Chef Ed offered a complimentary tasting, which is rare these days and immediately showed how confident he is in his food and service. During the tasting, he prepared two full meal options, including proteins and sides, also a salad, and went above and beyond by also including a dessert.

What truly set them apart was the level of personalization and care they brought to the process—while still respecting our budget. When we shared that we wanted a salmon option Chef Ed didn't hesitate to get creative. He provided 3 different options and had us return to his kitchen to try them out EVEN BEFORE WE BOOKED HIM! We also had mentioned we would like Japanese influence in our salmon and hors d’oeuvre he provided this. We even added a salad and dessert and Chef Ed and Michael STILL were able to work with us to keep us within our requested budget.

Their creativity, transparency, and willingness to tailor the menu to our vision has made wedding planning feel exciting rather than stressful. We would highly recommend Chef Ed and Michael to any couple looking for a caterer who truly listens and delivers. We are so looking forward to celebrating our wedding with them in 2026 and cannot wait for our guests to experience their food.

Kiss the Chef has been a pleasure to work with and I would book them again and again! The quality of food and service is unmatched!

Planning my daughter’s bridal shower was such an important moment for our family, and Chef Ed made it absolutely unforgettable. From the very first conversation, they were warm, organized, and genuinely invested in helping us create something special within our budget. The food was the highlight of the entire event, especially the Parmesan artichoke chicken, this is all the bride wanted! Our guests are still talking about the steak perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. It felt like something you’d get at a high‑end restaurant, not a catered event at a private residence. And the Pumpkin Foster dessert… oh my goodness. It was the star of the afternoon. Rich, warm, and beautifully presented, it struck the perfect balance of comforting and elegant. Beyond the food, the service was seamless. Everything was beautifully plated out and the timing was flawless. Chef Ed and his team made us feel completely taken care of so I could actually enjoy the day with my daughter. If you’re planning a bridal shower or any special event, I cannot recommend Kiss the Chef Catering enough. They helped create a memory our family & friends will cherish for years.

We truly cannot say enough good things about this caterer. The food is exceptional — beautifully prepared, incredibly flavorful, and consistently impressive. Every guest raved about how delicious everything was.
Beyond the food, they are an absolute dream to work with. Communication was easy, everything was seamless, and they went above and beyond to make the entire experience stress-free.
What stands out the most, though, is the people behind it all. They are kind, genuine, and truly care about their clients. That sincerity shines through in every interaction and in the care they put into their work.
We loved them so much that we didn’t hesitate to hire them again — this time for our baby shower. If you’re looking for incredible food paired with wonderful people, look no further. Highly, highly recommend.

The food is amazing! Micheal and Ed were so helpful in the entire process. The testing session was amazing. And the actual food during the wedding is just every bit of as amazing. They also worked with us the entire way making sure that all the guests with dietary restrictions are taken care of, and they also promptly make sure that our place is ready for the event.
Absolutely recommend!

Chef Ed is a true culinary genius. Not only are his dishes flavorful and delicious, they are stunning too! It is clear that he pays incredible attention to detail and has passion for the craft. Chef Ed, Michael, and their team go above and beyond to provide an exceptional culinary experience. The customer service was incredible and they were such a pleasure to work with. I can’t wait to choose them again for my next event!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Kiss the Chef Catering! From the start, Executive Chef Ed and Michael were incredibly responsive, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. Their tastings were absolutely impeccable—every dish was crafted to perfection, and it gave us complete confidence for our big day. Beyond their culinary expertise, they were an absolute joy to work with—professional, personable, and genuinely invested in making our event unforgettable. Thank you, Kiss the Chef Catering, for going above and beyond. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional service and incredible food!!! We booked them for our wedding day and loved the food so much that we also booked them for the rehearsal dinner and we couldn’t be more excited!

I had the pleasure of hiring Kiss the Chef Catering for my Family Holiday Dinner. Michael helped me plan & organize the timeline for appetizers, dinner, & desserts. Chef Edward was definitely in his element; professional & personable. The meal was presented in such an appealing & beautiful manner. The aromas & different flavors of his Southwestern Menu were oh, so delicious! The desserts were amazing & presented beautifully! I will definitely be hiring them for future events. My family won't stop talking about the green-chile chicken stacked enchiladas with creamy elote!
