    One Of The Best Vendors at our NYC Wedding

    Mehmet and Michelle were two of our favorite people to work with and they run an outstanding catering business. CFC provided everything we could have wanted from a catering team and then some. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food from cocktail hour through dinner and dessert. Our wedding in Brooklyn featured CFC sushi bar, which was a big hit during cocktail hour. We also had family style dinner service which was a fan favorite as it allowed guests to enjoy all entree options. Michelle and Mehmet were always so easy to get in touch with and were very accommodating of our requests. I will never forget how they put together a small to-go platter of all the food from our special day, which we were able to enjoy late at night after all the celebrations were over. It was so thoughtful and the most delicious late night snack. Thank you Mehmet and Michelle!

    Can't Recommend Enough!

    Creative Foods Catering did an incredible job catering our large wedding (184 guests), and we’re still getting compliments on the food! From the start, they were so responsive and patient with our many questions, helping us feel confident every step of the way. They came to our apartment for the tasting, and from the moment we met Mehmet in person we knew he would do a great job. They not only answered all of our questions, but graciously and patiently worked with our families too to make sure everyone was happy. We had a lot of allergies and dietary restrictions and they did such a great job making sure there was something for everyone.

    They provided full-service support, not just with catering, but with set-up and clean-up for the entire event, including the ceremony. Their team truly thought of everything and helped create a flawless experience. We couldn’t have asked for better vendor. We highly recommend!

    Amazing 5 Star Service

    We used Creative Catering as our food/catering vendor for our recent wedding in Long Island city Queens in August 2025. Michelle and Mehmet were both amazing and the nicest people on earth. Starting from the initial planning stages they helped us come up with a custom menu that fit our needs for dietary choices, and they were very flexible in coming up with new food dishes they did not have on their menus. Creative Catering worked with us and were extremely helpful and are incredible at what they do. As for the wedding day itself, they were extremely organized, and the food was excellent / fresh / hot, and we have gotten so many compliments from our guests that we had amazing food and beverages/bar service. The catering and wait-staff and bartenders were also phenomenal: they were extremely professional and courteous and so happy for my wife and I on our wedding day. We truly felt like we received five star restaurant service at our wedding. On top of the delicious food and great service from start to finish, Creative Foods was an excellent value and we definitely received what we paid for and even MORE. I highly recommend Creative Foods for anyone that is getting married in the tri-state area. You won’t regret it!

    Michelle and Mehmet were so amazing to work with. Made our dream wedding come true. From
    communication, to the day of the wedding. This company and their team allowed myself and the groom be at ease knowing that had everything to the very details in mind. So thankful for them! Food was great with a variety of different plates!! Very affordable!

    Mehmet, the owner, was incredibly flexible, accommodating and proactive. He agreed to completely change one of the food stations and prepared a cultural station from my heritage. He stepped in and resolved a last minute demand by the venue.

    Moreover, our guests raved about the food and the service. They helped make our wedding reception a dream come true.

    Mehmet and Michelle Kucuk and the Creative Foods Catering ("CFC") team recently catered our wedding at The Metropolitan Building in Long Island City, NY. Overall, the food was delicious, the service was exceptional, the entire team was extremely professional and responsive, and most importantly, the value was second to none. We'd highly recommend CFC to cater your wedding!

    Right from the start as we were trying to pick a caterer, Mehmet and Michelle were extremely responsive via both email and phone. Mehmet personally catered our tasting on a cold, December Sunday evening. The food was delicious, sophisticated and refined, and the presentation was very nice. The menu was very extensive, with food choices from all over the world, but Mehmet specializes in Mediterranean food, so we would highly recommend the Mediterranean station for cocktail hour, as well as the lamb for a dinner entree. We are not dessert people, but what really "wowed" us was the dessert shooters and mini-cheese cake bites CFC offered for dessert. These were delicious and the presentation of the shooters was unique with a candy or macaroon on top and added a nice wow factor to the meal.

    Aside from the food, as we went through the contract and proposals, Mehmet and Michelle were extremely flexible with our needs, and they were definitely able to work with us on our guest size, menu options, linens and various other logistics, including how much alcohol to procure, since we decided to bring our own. They definitely made us feel at ease and very comfortable with our decision, and were always available to answer any questions we had in the months/weeks/days leading up to the wedding.

    On the actual wedding day, the staff and bartenders were very professional, helpful and attentive. Mehmet was on site and made sure things ran smoothly, and checked in with us several times throughout the event. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour food and dinner. Overall, we'd highly recommend CFC!

    Creative Foods Catering was elegant, flexible, caring, on top of everything.

    We could not me more grateful to Mehmet and Michelle Kucuk for making our special day so amazing. They were wonderful to work with since we first met for our tasting. Both helped us stay in our budget without compromising our vision, elegance, food taste and setting. They helped us use AllSeated to design our wedding and food/seating accommodations for each of our guests. Our guest loved them. They were so easy to communicate with and during the wedding they pleasingly surprised us several times (like when Mehmet placed the spotlight for the pictures when we cut the cake). Truly they were on top of every detail. We loved that they were constantly checking on the bride and groom needs. Food was beautifully decorated, delicious and abundant. Would blindly recommend to work with them and, hopefully we get to work with them again. Thank you Mehmet & Michelle

    Love Love Love!

    Mehmet & Michelle are seriously the best team. From the tasting that they did AT OUR HOME(!!!), to the excellent communication they kept up leading up to the day, to the wedding day where they brought us food in our suite while we got some alone time after our ceremony& provided delicious food to our guests, they impressed us through & through. Their staff of servers & bartenders were also phenomenal. You should pick them for your wedding and, when you do, invite us so we can eat their food again!!!

    Mehmet and Michelle were extremely communicative throughout the planning process and flexible with our schedule. They were the real stars of the show on the day of the wedding - they did everything with respect to setup and breakdown and kept people fed drunk and happy

    A+++!! My wife and I are so happy that we chose CFC/Mehmet/Michelle to cater our wedding!! CFC was one of a few catering groups that was recommended to us by our venue (The Foundry). We decided to choose CFC for several main reasons: 1) Highly recommended by trusted references, 2) Awesome menu!, 3) Very reasonable pricing. From the very beginning Mehmet and CFC had been so easy to work with and extremely accommodating. My wife and I wanted to incorporate a few dishes from our culture (Russian) and Mehmet and CFC was so flexible and accommodating the entire time! The menu tasting was a lot of fun and a memory I'll enjoy for a long, long time.
    During the wedding the food was OUTSTANDING (especially the steak!!). I have had multiple friends/family call us to tell us how much they enjoyed the food!
    My wife and I are EXTREMELY HAPPY that we chose CFC for our wedding and I am certain you will be too!

    Love this vendor!

    We hired these guys for our wedding…we wanted something a little unconventional and had floating stations rather than a traditional sit down dinner. They delivered and more! The food was incredible, genuinely some of the best food I’ve ever had. The service was great, the staff was kind and attentive. They get a bonus point because we had our husky involved in our wedding and they were nothing but kind and loving to our little guy. Very grateful for their work and attention detail! Recommended 110%!

    July Wedding

    Michelle and Mehmet recently catered our wedding. Michelle runs the business and Mehmet is the chef. They
    both are professional, reasonable and responsive. The food and drinks were delicious, and we had the best time. We highly recommend.

    Mehmet is the most incredible caterer I have ever met. He and his team of excellent staffers made my April 2014 wedding truly stand out in ways that I never could have imagined. Beforehand, he worked with me to ensure that I had all of the proper rentals and procedures in place in order to make this wedding even happen. He really worked as more than just a caterer - he was a full service vendor and I'm so grateful to have found him.

    He answered any question I had (promptly) and didn't flinch if anything came up. He truly went out of his way to make sure that everything was perfect. His aforementioned staff was great too. They were always on point with anything that was needed and his bartenders received rave reviews from everyone there.

    Plus, his food was amazing! I have friends who are sous chefs/line cooks and thus, very judgmental of all other food and even they said it was great. People are still telling me how much they loved the food - in great and very specific detail. Mehmet was worth every (very reasonable) cent and more, and I am so happy he worked our wedding day. Even all of my other vendors loved him!

    Delicious and plenty!

    Creative Food Catering is everything you could want from a caterer: delicious food, generous portions, excellent service, and great flexibility.
    The tasting felt like a private chef experience in our home, and the food was absolutely incredible. It was so important to us that our wedding had great food with plenty to go around—we didn’t want our guests to experience small portions or bland meals.
    Creative Food Catering delivered on every level. The portions were perfect, the flavors were outstanding, and our guests raved about the food all night.
    We can’t recommend them enough!

    Great Service!

    Creative Food catering was wonderful working with us on the menu that fit our budget as well as coming to our house for a delicious tasting and they were on the venue's "recommended list". The presentation was great and the food excellent. They got right back to us with answers to all our questions, we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for catering in NYC!

    It gives me great pleasure to review Creative Foods Catering. We planned our wedding in about 5 months total and couldn't have been happier with their services.

    First, their responsiveness was unparalleled. We felt like we were chasing down other caterers (never getting return calls, missed meetings, etc), but Mehmet and Michelle were incredibly prompt, pleasant, and easy to contact by phone or email.

    Second, the tasting process was fun, convenient, and delicious. Mehmet came to our apartment and not only provided delicious food (so many options!) and detailed information, but managed to present it beautifully too. We immediately signed a contract because of his incredible service.

    Third, Mehmet was wonderful and thorough during planning. He attended our venue walk-through, met all our other vendors, provided linen samples, and communicated with our coordinator. Additionally, he and his team were able to work within our somewhat limited budget and give us exactly what we wanted at the right price. They even accommodated our unique decor requests and weird venue logistics.

    Fourth, the wedding was gorgeous! All our guests commented on the quality of the food-- from the passed appetizers, to the buffet, to the dessert shooters. The staff members were so attentive to us and to our guests and they even saved us a plate of appetizers so that we didn't miss out (such a lovely touch)!

    I wholeheartedly recommend Creative Foods Catering for their amazing service, delectable food, and kind attention to detail. Bravo and thanks for such an incredible event.

    Listen to me. Listen. Mehmet is a hidden treasure. Using Creative Foods saved us so much money, as their price point is well below the Manhattan average, but the quality of the food was incredible. Mehmet came to our apartment and cooked us everything we were interested in serving. In our tiny apartment. And it was divine. We had our hearts set on bacon-wrapped dates, which were not on his original menu, and when we asked if he could make them he said yes without any hesitation, and at no extra charge. At the reception, his staff was beyond professional. They took great care of me and my husband, but also made sure that our parents were getting food as well. Mehmet himself came to see how my husband and I were doing, and to make sure everything was running smoothly. The bartenders were quick and helpful (we had a whiskey tasting station) and multiple people came up to me to tell me how nice the staff was. And the food. They were working in a tiny kitchen and somehow managed to serve 185 people steak that was cut with a butter knife. The pistachio-crusted lamb lollipops were the talk of the night, and the passed desserts were a huge hit. Everything I ate was delicious. We couldn't have asked for better service at a better price. Couldn't recommend Mehmet and his team more, they are fantastic.

    Mehmet and Michelle are incredible! They make amazing, delicious, reasonably priced, attractively displayed apps, dinner and dessert! Mehmet came to our home for our tasting and we were sold from then. As we got closer to our date, Michelle did so much to put my mind at ease with all the little details and was incredibly responsive/patient. The day-of was perfectly executed, food was yummy and I did not have to worry about one thing (except for enjoying it all)!

    The very best caterers!

    Working with Creative Foods Catering was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process. We booked them for our wedding at The Green Building right as the pandemic unfolded in March 2020 so we did not get a chance to do a tasting then. We ended up postponing our wedding to August 2022 and CFC was so supportive throughout those 2 years. We ended up having our tasting in the Spring of 2022 at their beautiful tasting room and had an incredible time. We did end up asking for special changes to the menu to better reflect our culture and they were so flexible and receptive. During the weeks leading up to our wedding, Michelle was incredibly helpful! She communicated so many important details via email and managed our rentals order. On the wedding day, the food was delicious and hot! The CFC team worked very well with our venue and coordinator and the service their staff provided was wonderful! People often underestimate how much the staff can impact the guest experience. All of our guests raved about how great and kind all of the waiters were! Kudos to CFC for providing such amazing food and service! Thank you!!

    Best in class, highly recommended

    Michelle, Mehmet, and their team are phenomenal. Not only is there menu great, they are just really good people to work with. They really helped our day run smoothly and with no hiccups. I'm a picky person when it comes to vendors having worked in the food space and in marketing for years and I was blown away by how they presented themselves before, during, and after our wedding. If you want true professionals, this team is it. They'll get the job done with no stress along the way!

    Creative Foods Catering- Highly Recommend!

    Creative Foods was absolutely amazing! Throughout our entire wedding planning process Michelle and Mehmet were extremely helpful, and were always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and help us execute our wedding vision. From planning the menu, to organizing the rentals, Michelle and Mehmet’s expertise helped us to create the perfect day. On the day of our wedding, the food, drinks and attention to detail was perfect. We received so many compliments from our guests saying that the food was absolutely delicious, and the best wedding food they have ever had. Our guests particularly loved the steak- we received countless compliments on this meal. I highly recommend Creative Foods Catering to anyone planning a wedding!

    What can we say, we are so incredibly happy/satisfied we went with Creative Foods as our caterer. Their professionalism was exceptional from our initial tasting all the way up to and throughout our wedding. Mehmet and Michelle were a joy to work with, while their staff was also fantastic; everyone had a great attitude and were very courteous to our guests. We were faced with some weather obstacles on the day of our event, and the staff handled everything so efficiently and quickly, keeping us at ease and allowing us to just enjoy the day.

    Last but not least -- the food was amazing! The cocktail hour (everyone's favorite part of a wedding) offered so many delicious options, and we were happy to find a platter of food waiting for us in the staging area after we took post-ceremony photos. The entrees were exceptional as well (delicious teriyaki salmon, filet mignon, and pan-seared chicken), and everyone was raving about the dessert - the shooters are a must-have!
