We were so happy that we chose MCL to cater our wedding reception. Working with Karol was an absolute breeze--she was very helpful, knowledgeable and offered great suggestions. We went to MCL to do a food tasting and then met with Karol several times at our venue to go over what we wanted. MCL was able to work with us to help create a custom buffet menu (out of many options!) for our special day. MCL provided linens, glasses, silverware, and everything necessary for the buffet. Karol along with roughly 10 other servers/staff members were there several hours prior to our reception to set up the tables and begin preparing the food, and then stayed through the end of the night. Our guests truly raved about the food, as everything was absolutely perfect! I would highly recommend working with Karol and MCL if you are in need of a caterer for your next event!

The service from Karol Kiley was superb from the very beginning. She treated us like old friends and her staff was more than professional in helping us pick out our menu. On the day of our event MCL had our guests not just impressed with the set up of the food, we along with our guests loved every food item we chose. I would highly recommend and use MCL for everyone and any future events I may need them for. The custom catering is exceptional and so very reasonably priced!

There are not enough words to describe how pleased I was with my choice for a caterer. The staff at MCL was amazing throughout the entire process of planning my wedding from the first time I met with one of their consultants at a bridal show, to my actual wedding day. They worked very hard to make my tasting very special for my family and from that moment on I knew that I had made the right choice. Our friends and family cannot stop raving about how wonderful the food tasted as well as the presentation!

We chose MCL because we knew it would be a cheaper option and still yet wonderful food, and we got exactly that. The food was amazing and went over very well. It was nice home cooked food style served buffet. Every one was pleased and well fed and because of the price there were plenty to go around for seconds.

So highly impressed with the staff that catered my daughters wedding Saturday July 23rd at Christi United Methodist church in Lafayette IN. It was a mixture of Indy and Lafayette staff. They were very quiet setting up. In the kitchen. They arranged the tables beautiful for double sided serving lines. Jose cutting the meat wa a excellent and the meal was very good. They were very efficient, very professional, and extremely friendly. I highly will recommend MCL and I will use MCL catering again.

We used MCL Catering for our wedding in September of 2015. They were on a list of recommended caterers for the venue and we were beyond satisfied with their exceptional service, food and professionalism!

Karol Kiley and her staff were amazing! Karol helped come up with a great menu within our budget, answered all of our many questions quickly and thoroughly, and remained thoughtful about the many details. The food was fantastic and we are still getting compliments on the meal. Many of our guests said it was one of the best wedding meals they had while highlighting the overall quality. We would definitely work with them again and highly recommend MCL.

Thank you Karol and Staff for making our wedding reception memorable!

MCL Catering was absolutely wonderful! The food, service, value, and flexibility was far beyond anything we could have expected from our wedding caterer. We worked with Karol Kiley, who was so attentive to what we were looking for, and she did everything she could to make sure we had a wonderful meal and wedding catering experience. There were a couple of special requests we had in regards to our wedding reception dinner, and MCL worked with us to make sure our meal was exactly what were wanting.
The food was absolutely delicious, and numerous quests commented on how much they enjoyed the beautiful, delectable meal.
In addition, Karol has been in the wedding business for quite some time, and she was very helpful in providing recommendation for other areas of our wedding needs. Our overall experience with MCL Catering was outstanding. Thank you!

I was so wowed with MCL's service and quality of food. They did our food, which got many compliments, provided our table dressings, and our cake and cupcakes. The cake was SO DELICIOUS!!! Everything was so flawless the whole day. If I hadn't walked up to introduce myself to the wait staff, they would not have bothered me all day. They didn't have any questions, they had a great staff! They got everything cleaned up and out of the way so fast, I didn't even have a chance to thank them! Fabulous service, fantastic food, excellent value. The planning process was easy too! They were quick to answer my questions and respond to all of my requests. Definitely recommend!

The food was absolutely amazing, and our guests were so pleased. We were receiving compliments on the food and service during the entire reception and everyone was quite surprised when we told them that it was MCL catering. They provided employees to serve, cut the cake, and collect dirty dishes. Also, they had a person standing at the end of the buffet line to hold our guests' plates while our guests served themselves with salad (our guests appreciated this the most). We absolutely couldn't have had a better caterer!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
