Amazing service!

Our wedding planner introduced us to MK and it was a godsend. From the perfect menu to the kindest staff this team really did it all for us. Including to help us with last minute table and chair sourcing after our venue dropped many, many balls. The event went off without issue, guests loved their meals, they were able to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions, and they set up and broke down efficiently and were even out of the venue early! Would highly recommended using MK as your catering partner.

It was not the first time using MK Catering and definetly will not be the last. We use their service for all big events at our family. The more recent one was my wedding. Claudete and her team make ever effort to make your event uniquely special for you. Working with your budget, on the menu, decorations, and everything to make it perfect. The staff is efficient and kind. I highly recommend MK Catering for your wedding and any other event you might have.

We used MK Catering for our wedding of 200 guests, and I can not say enough good things!!!! We worked with Giovana; and from the beginning we felt like she was on our team and wanted our wedding to work out exactly how we wanted. She understood our ideas and exactly what we wanted, she was always very responsive, and overall fun to work with. She never pressured us into picking things we didn't like, and she never made us feel pressured to spend more than we wanted. But she did provide a lot of ideas and suggestions that we didn't think about. She shared her insight and provided a lot of ideas and let us pick the ones we liked.

At our tasting, everyone was super friendly, and the food was DELICIOUS. We LOVED everything! MK Catering gave us a better price estimate then everywhere else we looked, AND we liked their food the best.

Giovana was very helpful and responsive to everything, and helped coordinate outside of just the food. For example, we wanted to rent an ice cream cart from another vendor, and so she handled the coordination of the drop-off & pick-up and all the details. One less thing on our plate!

The day of was perfect. The decorations and buffet set up were awesome! The owner came by our event too, which was really nice. We have gotten SO many compliments about the food! People were calling my parents the next day telling them it was the best wedding food they ever had! A lot of our guests noted that in the guest book too. We had a mac & cheese bar and make your own burger bar, that tasted delicious, and was served in fancy trays and looked really nice!

We literally have no complaints and would recommend MK Catering and Giovana to everyone! :)

I don't even know where to start... Claudete and her team at MK catering exceeded my expectations, and that is almost impossible to do since Im a little picky. I had a 50 guests wedding on Sep 14, 2014 and Mk catering provided me the linens, food, an awesome staff team and pretty much everything else you would need for your special day to go smoothly. People are still talking about the food! The food was very flavorful, abundant and it was beautifully presented. The staff was very helpful and attentive. I am very pleased with everything and i definitely recommend it!

We found MK Catering through our wedding venue and are so tgankful for the referral. MK Catering is a step WAY above the rest. We sampled other caterers and no one could beat their deliscious food, prices, patience, and professionalism. Their staff really listens to your vision of your event and tries to fulfil your every wish. I was blown away on my wedding day and am still in "awe" of how beautiful our wedding, cocktail hour, and reception looked. I would and will continue to recommend them to anyone who wants to listen. I could continue going about how great they are, but I will stop here. PURE EXCELLENCE!!

Where do I start? Claudette was amazing and very flexible to deal with. Pricing was VERY reasonable for what you are getting. The food was magnificent, from the salad to the side dishes to the main course. The staff was extremely kind, professional and the service was impeccable. If you are in the Washington DC area, I would absolutely recommending using MK catering. They made my dream wedding come true.

Great food!

From the flatware to the plates, from the decor to the fantastic crew that comes in, I have worked side by side with MK Catering on numerous occasions as well as being at events where they catered, their team is outstanding and their professionalism is both exceptional AND consistent. I would whole heartedly encourage any prospective client to sit down with the people here and see for themselves.

Cristina Maria Special Events Cristina Maria Special Events Wedding Planners

One word... wonderful! They truly cater to your every need! Their food is not only absolute delicious but it always has the most creative and professional presentation. They always go above and beyond. Another thing I love about them is how flexible they are; whether it is the menu, decor, tablescape design, stationary display, etc. the work closely with me and my clients to bring their visions to life. They also make my job easier by being a one-stop shop; they not only provide cuisine but also decor and rentals. There is a reason I recommend them time and time again.
