    Amazing Experience All Around

    KCK exceeded all expectations, and we could not have asked for a better caterer for our wedding reception.

    Throughout the planning process, Cassandra and her team were attentive, responsive, and easy to work with. Their professionalism and genuine dedication to making our wedding day perfect came across in every interaction we had with them as we worked to bring our family-style menu to life.

    Most impressive was their ability to deal with the unpredictable weather. Our wedding was held outside under a tent, and it began to downpour right as our reception begun. Despite the inclement weather, KCK adapted flawlessly and served throughout the entire night with smiles on their faces. Several guests commented on the positive attitude from Alice and the rest of the staff throughout the event.

    During cocktail hour there was an issue with the oven (outside of their control). KCK was able to address and remedy the situation and keep dinner on schedule – a remarkable feat considering the circumstances.



    We also received tons of compliments on the food – we particularly loved the filet mignon and grilled peach & arugula salad! The chicken & waffle appetizer and buffalo chicken meatballs were also cocktail hour highlights.

    Our only regret was not hiring Cassandra as our coordinator from the onset. Our experience couldn't have been better, and we were so thankful to have KCK play such a big part of our day. Thank you to Cassandra, Alice, and the rest of the staff!

    The BEST choice

    KCK was a dream to work with. When I first began planning our wedding, I was nervous and put a lot of pressure on it being the most perfect day. Cassandra has the magic touch to assure you everything will be okay, and the skills and ability to deliver greatness. The entire team was super patient with all of our questions during the planning process and during the days just prior to our wedding. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team of professionals to make our day the most amazing day ever. Cassandra and Kelly were and are so sweet, down to earth and personable. Cassandra was incredibly quick to answer all of my many emails and sporadic questions and concerns. She was also masterful in handling all of our individual vendors on the big day. Cassandra is a gifted planner and clearly loves and enjoys what she does. I feel that must be what makes the big magic of her weddings. Kelly combines an exquisite artistic taste for every detail of the menu with all the masterful skills and knowledge of the kitchen. Her creations were delicious, personal, and visually stunning. When the wedding was over, my husband and I truly missed speaking with Cassandra and the entire team. That's how incredible KCK is. We can't recommend them enough. Thank you KCK for everything.

    Food, desserts and more!

    KCK was such an amazing caterer to work with. We were worried that we would find a caterer that would give us inflated prices and not a lot of food but KCK didn't fail to impress. From the taste testing (fell in love with their mustard potatoes and steak with chimichurri sauce) to finalizing the menu, to the day of the wedding, it was great. Communication was always so quick, almost instantaneous. Food was fantastic which is hard to describe food in words but fantastic is the best i can do! Their duck confit taco's were insanely delicious. They also provided bar tenders and servers which was super helpful because we didn't need to find another vendor to provide those serveries. On top of that, they also took care of the rentals as well as the desserts (highly recommend getting the donut wall). Our desserts and wedding cake were made by sweet lux and they did not disappoint. Shout out to Cassandra and Alice who made the entire process so easy!

    Incredible

    Cassandra was absolutely SPECTACULAR as a catering coordinator. The business is family owned, so professional and the food is seriously divine. Cassandra was so flexible in working with us, as we wanted to provide some of our own farm raised venison as an entrée, and her team handled it perfectly. I know Cassandra also does day of coordination, and though I didn't hire her for that I feel so confident she'd be an excellent coordinator.

    Do the soft pretzel bar

    These caterers were a dream. They brought us plates of food as we were taking photos and reserved dinner plates for us. Michelle and Amy were so helpful. Everyone raved about the soft pretzel bar and the crab cakes! Definitely go for the cod if you’re into fish! The chicken was a tiny bit dry, but honestly that’s the only negative thing I can say out of all of the dishes. Also, you NEED their blueberry crumble bars for dessert. I’m addicted now.

    Best Caterer

    Hired KCK catering for my wedding in November and I couldn’t have been happier with the results! Both the staff and the food were amazing. If you’re looking for someone to help make your vision come to life, Cassandra is the perfect person to help make that happen.

    Also what’s better than a mother daughter duo. Kelly (mom) is the executive chef and Cassandra (daughter) is the senior event planner. These ladies will help make your food and event dreams come true.

    Practically perfect in every way!

    My husband and I love indulging in good food and wanted it to be a big part of our day. KCK’s food is made, plated and served with love. From tasting day to wedding day, KCK had every rental detail, every food allergen and every want and need documented and laid out in an easy to read shareable invoice. They are prompt in responding to emails and let you know exactly what is to be expected. Don’t hesitate to book a tasting, it will be the nicest afternoon with your partner. You will be showered with delicious apps, mains and desserts that leave you feeling like you’re about to make the best decision for your guests on your special day. Don’t believe the fables about the bride and groom never getting to eat on their wedding day, KCK made sure we had a cute little plate of apps to share and warm plates of food for dinner!

    Beyond the amazing food, our wedding would not have come together the day of if it wasn’t for Cassandra. With no hesitation hiring her as our ‘Day of Coordinator’ was the best decision I made for the wedding hands down, closely followed by hiring her team to cater our wedding. As set as things were months before, everything aside from her and her team that could have fallen apart, did. No one even noticed and it’s all thanks to Cassandra. She helped me communicate with an impossible diy venue, navigated me through things I didn’t even know I’d want for my wedding and made sure everything was documented along the way. I am a person who does not hand over the reins lightly but as soon as I sat down to talk with her, I knew she was the right person for my day. She’s organized, communicative, inquisitive, bold and has the kindest heart. She did way more for my wedding then was even in her job title and there is no way I could have done it without her.

    I can not recommend this incredible company enough. They make sure they are ready and prepared for anything and everything. It’s clear they love what they do and want to make sure your day is just what you hoped. Thank you KCK! Check them out on instagram and get ready to be blown away! Picture perfect and delicious to boot @kckcatering !

    The best experience!!

    I dont have the words to express how amazing it was to work with KCK and Cassandra from start to finish for our wedding at Sylvan Ridge Farm this past weekend. When we booked our wedding, Sylvan Ridge was still working on their preferred vendor list and none of the caterers were a good fit. When I found KCK Cassy set up a meeting with Sylvan ridge and became a preferred vendor. Cassy was always super responsive and had recommendations for anything I was unsure of. Our tasting was amazing and she helped us pick items that paired well together and for our crowd. As a day of coordinator she was on top of everything and the day went flawlessly, I could not have asked for a better person to lead our day. During cocktail hour she made us a tray of all of the hour d’ouvres and made sure we ate together. Drinks were ready as soon as we walked back up the isle as well. All throughout our experience her and the other staff checked on us multiple times to see if we needed anything and we’re so friendly. All of our guests raved about the food and I’m still getting messages about how much they enjoyed everything. Their displays and stations are always the cutest thing (highly recommend a pretzel bar). The quality and value you get with KCK is top notch, I could not have asked for a better experience!

    An A+ Team!

    Cassandra and the KCK Catering crew are an A+ team. My husband and I booked KCK Catering for our wedding after our initial caterer was unresponsive. Cassandra and KCK Catering team were the exact opposite - extremely responsive and very accommodating! We had the idea of serving 'chicken and waffles' as our main entree. While this wasn't an entree on their menu, they were happy to test and ultimately serve this entree for our day. As a coordinator, Cassandra was a dream to work with ... responsive, knowledgeable, easy going and sincerely nice. Don't hesitate to reach out to Cassandra and the KCK Catering team to make your event vision come to life! Photo credit to Jessica Manns Photography. Another stellar wedding vendor!

    Absolutely wonderful

    We can’t say enough about the wonderful wedding we had, thanks in large part to KCK. They set up the venue beautifully and impressed all our guests. We were particularly impressed with the food options for the cocktail hour and the reception. For cocktails, we selected some of the unique passed hors d’oeuvres as well as two stations. For dinner, we opted for a buffet with KCK servers loading the plates. There was something delicious for everyone. The desserts were also unique and, well, sinful.
    We also hired Cassandra as the Day-of Coordinator, which we highly recommend. From the time we contacted her, Cassandra focused on so many details that we never even thought about. During the wedding, she even made up some plates for us, to assure that we got something to eat. We were able to relax and simply enjoy the entire event.

    Dream Wedding Catering Team!

    KCK Catering + Events truly went above and beyond for my wedding on Sept. 26, 2020. We changed wedding dates to accommodate a new plan due to Covid, and KCK was one of the first caterers we reached out to, about 6-7 weeks before our new date. Cassandra was responsive, super helpful and easy to work with. She offered wonderful suggestions and advice on the menu we wanted, helped us brainstorm some unique cocktail hour ideas to help everyone feel safe during this crazy time and even drove 1.5 hours to my mom’s and stepdad’s home for a walk through of our event, just to make sure she understood the flow of the event and the space her team had to work with. She prepared little tasting boxes for us so we could try the food before signing the contract. My sister is a wedding planner, and I know she and Cassandra talked a lot without me on the details and logistics of the day. She’s literally planned hundreds of weddings across the country and has never experienced this level of service.

    The staff were so personable and professional. My glass was always full; they were one step ahead of everyone the entire time. The guests felt comfortable and enjoyed interacting with them.

    The food was OUTSTANDING. We had a variety of hor d'oeuvres, including mini individual cheese boards and chicken and waffle cones which my brother in law said were the best hor d'oeuvre he’s ever had at any event in his life. The menu options are more than just your typical wedding food. That’s one of the things that drew me to KCK- there were a tremendous amount of options to choose from, things that felt different and unique. The desserts we had were a huge hit as well.

    For our tables, we used family china for the salad and dinner plates instead of rentals, and the team treated those pieces like they were their own. The house was perfectly cleaned up at the end of the event; it was hard to tell that there were 10+ people running in and out of the house for hours.

    Truly cannot recommend KCK Catering + Events enough to anyone who is looking for professional, friendly service with outstanding food and quality.

    Doesn't get better than KCK!

    From start to finish, KCK is absolutely incredible. We hired them to cater a backyard minimony. After having postponed our wedding multiple times due to COVID-19, we were looking for a company that would a) do a good and b) do it in a way that wouldn’t add more stress to our plates. KCK did just that!

    From the very beginning, Cassandra was super responsive, thorough and just made our lives easy. Everything she suggested was perfect. And when she visited the yard in the weeks leading to the wedding, it was clear she knew her stuff, had a plan (that included smart COVID precautions), and everything was going to go smoothly.

    Come day-of, I was blown away! The entire KCK team was SO nice and SO accommodating, and they executed the entire event flawlessly (they even put out and cleaned up appetizers they didn’t provide). Plus, they went above and beyond to take care of me. When I was cold, there they were with my jacket. When I was thirsty, there they were with a drink. It was astonishing, really.

    Now on to the BEST part – the food!! Having been already so pleased with KCK, I would have given them a 5-star review even if we had eaten your typical wedding-hall meal. But lucky us, the food was delicious!! Cooked on site (even the bread!), the entire meal was hot and super fresh. Our guests were raving about the herb and garlic-crusted filet with horseradish crème and chimichurri sauce for days and the penne vodka had us drooling. Our cake was beautiful and delicious, and my husband could not stop eating the peanut butter brownies!

    I would 100x over recommend KCK to anyone looking for a caterer. If you hire them, you won’t regret it. They’ll only exceed your expectations!

    Wedding Dream Team

    The ladies of KCK go above and beyond for their clients! I have attended multiple events put on by them and have always been overly satisfied. Everything from the food to the decor is just flawless! They truly pay attention to every little detail, I cannot say enough good things about them, truly easy to work with and very detail oriented!

    Amazing Service

    My son and daughter in law wanted an outdoor wedding. Kck catering and event planners had addressed every detail. From the setup of the tent to placement of tables, etc. it was simply elegant yet affordable. The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. Their entire staff was so professional and courteous from the set up, to serving, and even clean up. We simply had an absolutely beautiful day and we would highly recommend their services to anyone having a wedding. They will address every detail and your day will be just perfect.

    A perfect day

    Getting engaged and married in just a short 8 months was so stressful for me but KCK Catering and Events made every moment simple and stress free. From start to finish Cassandra was professional, organized, and always available when I needed her. She took full service event planner to the next level. She helped me with every detail and knew my wedding in and out, right down to where I wanted all my tea candles placed. The day of execution was absolutely seamless. My wedding day came together better than I ever could have imagined. The food was incredible and had my guests full and raving all night long. KCK even threw in complimentary late night sandwiches for my guests that night and complimentary breakfast for my family and friends the next morning! It was truly the best service I have ever experienced. KCK made my wedding day a day I will never forget!

    KCK Catering & Events's reply:

    Thank you Katey, you were the perfect bride! We knew you were going to have a a beautiful vision from the moment we met you. And we were happy to execute that vision for you. We can't wait to work with you again soon and wish you and Ray all the happiness in the world!

    Katey and Ray’s wedding day

    KCK Catering was the event planner for my girlfriends wedding and they were able to make her vision come true. I recommend KCK for your wedding day as it made it so the bride can enjoy the day rather than be concerned about the details. They worked the venue flawlessly . Very organized and the event went so smoothly.

    Phenomenal Cake

    The pastry chef, Katie, made me a SPECTACULAR wedding cake. Not only was it delicious but it was a legitamate buttercream work of art. I did not need them for food at my wedding but I have also been to another event planned by them and their food/spreads/pastries are unbelievable. Wonderful team of talented women who will work to make sure your wedding vision comes to life. Highly recommended!

    KCK Catering & Events's reply:

    Kristin,

    Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and we can't wait to work with you again soon!

    All our best,
    Kelly, Cassy, & Katie

    Best Wedding Caterers!

    Cassandra and her team were perfect for my sister's backyard wedding in September. With their help we were able to plan an elegant, beautiful wedding in a month. They helped elevate the stress of the planning process and worked through all the logistics with me and my family patiently. On the wedding day they went above and beyond my expectations. I am a wedding planner to events with $500,000+ budgets. While my sister's wedding had a much more modest budget, KCK Catering worked as if they were servicing a multi-million dollar wedding. All our guests raved about their kind, thoughtful service - from introducing themselves to EVERY GUEST to rushing to cover our entirely outdoor tables with tenting during a freak rain storm ONLY to remove them 15 minutes later with the bride and groom never knowing (they did not want tents AT ALL). I can't say enough good things about them. They were with us every step of the way leading up to the wedding and helped us recover the day after with the most delicious breakfast items! I would also like to say that they were very professional and courteous when it came to Covid precautions and followed all the guidelines (which made us all feel very safe and comfortable). I dream up events just so I can have them cater them! As a professional wedding planner I only work with the best of the best and KCK is that!

    Disappointing

    They dropped the ball with outsourcing the bartending services. There was a lot of miscommunication between vendors. Did not supply mixer package as was ordered and we ran out early in the evening. Also advised bartending service to shut down the bar 1/2 hour before the reception was over.
