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!

Little event - big smiles
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.

Already blown away before our wedding day!
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.

A Perfect Bridal Shower Thanks to Chef Ed & His Delicious Parmesan Chicken!
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.

Amazing Food and Wonderful People
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.

Best choice for our wedding!
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!

A Professional & Personable Catering Experience with Excellent Cuisine!
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!

Best people and best food!
Wow! I don't even know where to start. Our original wedding venue went out of business with less than three months to go until our wedding. Kiss the Chef immediately, proactively reached out to us to find out what they could do to help. Our new venue typically doesn't allow outside catering, but Kiss the Chef worked with the venue and bent over backwards to ensure that we could keep the catering we wanted and had already booked! They're incredibly flexible, were proactive and always available for a phone call, and you could tell in their voices how much they truly care for their couples. Not to mention, THE FOOD! We received so many compliments from guests saying this is the best wedding food they've ever had. When we were reminiscing about the wedding a few days after with friends, they spent about 20 minutes straight raving about how good the food was and arguing over which part of the meal was the best (creamy corn elote was voted the winner). We'd highly recommend Kiss the Chef to anyone and everyone! Michael and Chef Ed, we cannot thank you and your team enough!

Mother of the Bride
OMG...the best ever. Just finished a very busy wedding season, our family had 5 weddings in 4 months. Talk about busy, totally crazy time...but for my daughter's wedding we chose Kiss the Chef. We could not have made a better choice. Food was amazing, staff professional and even with my last minute change in not having appetizers passed by servers, because of the heat and I wanted our guests to be inside with air conditioning. When I say last minute...like 36 hours. I called Michael in a panic...he said no problem we will take care of it. He calmed me and took this worry away from me. Thank you! Chef Ed created a beautiful full table charcuterie board. The guests loved it. All were very happy to have this buffet style so they could make their own choices. Our DJ made it fun so the line at the dinner buffet was never long and all were able to enjoy meals together. I was out of state attending the last wedding of our season, was able to meet up with some friends and catch up as I did not get much time with them at my daughter's wedding. During our conversation she had been to 8 weddings since ours. "Out of all the weddings I have been to, glad yours was the first and the best". They complimented the food and service as the best at all they had been to. Made me think about how caterers just do what they want, no personal touch to make the day special. I know that this is not the case with Kiss the Chef.
Michael & Chef Ed took time to make sure that my daughter's special day was truly special. And during the wedding both were available to assist in any way for myself and our guests. Thank you both for helping in creating my daughters special day!
I’ve attended your amazing events and I’m so impressed with how you conduct yourselves and how incredible your food is. One thing that stands out is how you make sure your guests are well taken care of, and; especially, satisfied to their hearts content. Your professionalism is outstanding! You provide far more in decorations and appetizers than any caterer I’ve ever experienced, and it’s so evident your motto is ‘succeed in excellence.’ Memories are created through the experience of fine cuisine so I thank you for the wonderful memories I experienced through your fine cuisine. Keep doing what you’re doing because it’s all good!

The food was so so good. My husband said the chicken was creamy and chickeny. He was very great when I wasn't feeling good and he packed up my meal to go.

Amazing!! Amazing!! Amazing!!
We had been planning our wedding for almost 5 months and had to shift everything suddenly. We had 3 months to get a backyard wedding together, and one of the best choices we made was hiring Kiss the Chef. From the moment we started inquiring, through the tasting, and the final product Michael was on top of it. Every single question, he was more than happy to find me the answers. The food is incredible. I mean, truly, we still have guests reaching out to comment about how incredible the food was. And it was. Just downright talent, and passion for what Chef Ed does, you can taste it and you can see it. The service was impeccable, before we knew they were set up, and before we knew it, they were packed. Super professional, our guests loved it, we loved it!
If you want your food to be a wow factor at your event; look no further. You have found your wow factor.

Best Local Southwest Inspired Wedding Food Ever!
We hired Kiss the Chef Catering, LLC, & they wow'd our guests! We come from a family of "foodies," so when we went through the process of finding a catering company it was very difficult because no caterer in the valley that we tried was close to serving top notch cuisine, until we found Chef Ed & his culinary team.
SPEECHLESS, because I cannot even describe the layers of flavors in his bacon wrapped tamale stuffed chicken which was topped with a creamy elote. It was even served with a nopalito/cactus salsa. The handmade guacamole had so many flavorful ingredients inside that I asked for seconds!
We wanted a local Taste of The Southwest, & Chef Ed nailed it on so many levels! We had so many compliments on the food that our guests to this day, keep saying, BEST WEDDING FOOD EVER! We are so very happy with Kiss the Chef! You will be too!

Currently planning a December 2024 wedding and Kiss the Chef catering has been wonderful to work with! Recently, our original wedding venue shut down, leaving us to scramble to find something new. Kiss the Chef contacted me and was so kind and helpful during this whole process. It really shows how much they care and how much pride they put into their work!
Looking forward to having them at our wedding this year!

Fan-bloodly-tastic
We hired Kiss the Chef Catering, LLC, for my son's wedding this past weekend! It was the BEST decision!!! From the start, they were responsive and accommodating. They showed up on time and had plenty of staff. The food was Flipping amazing. We got compliments all night long on how excellent the food was. "The best wedding food they ever had." This was from the Bartenders, the photographer, and the wedding coordinator.
They were like catering ninjas; the servers picked up the plates, and they were quiet and polite. Then they were gone- with no sound, no fuss at all like ninjas! You can not do any better than Kiss the Chef Catering, LLC!! Thank you for making my son's wedding so wonderful!!!

Great Caterer for Our Church!
We have a congregation of over 2,000. We hired Chef Edward & his team for our church event with over 500 attendees. They served appetizers & dinner so efficiently & quickly, we were shocked! We have had many caterers and never had any of this caliber. They worked with our small budget & provided high-end service, going above & beyond what was paid to them! Not only was the food truly amazing & delicious, the service & friendliness of their staff was impeccable! We Highly Recommend them for any church or corporate event!

Helped make our wedding perfect!
The whole team at Kiss the Chef were an absolute pleasure to work with from day 1. Not only was there food absolutely outstanding, but Michael and Chef Ed were friendly, fun and incredibly professional throughout our journey together. The staff they brought with them on our wedding day performed there job absolutely flawlessly, so professional, helpful and well presented. Our guests all commented on how good the food was, how pleasant the staff was and how much they enjoyed eating at our wedding. It was a cold night, and we were eating outside so one of the things that impressed me is that my food was a great temperature and at no point did it feel like I was eating anything other than freshly cooked.
I want to thank Michael, Chef Ed and the whole team at Kiss the Chef for doing such an amazing job. Our wedding was a fantastic experience, and so many happy memories were made that night. Having them there was a big part of the nights success and I can only recommend them whole heartedly to anyone needing a catering service like theirs. Thank you all!

I booked Kiss the Chef Catering at the last minute to cater a holiday party for my bank. They not only provided top notch customer service from the beginning, they also worked with my tight budget, and the day off provided a spectacular and deliciously plated entree’s for my staff. This is a catering company we will continue to use for years to come and I’ll be referring out to many of my colleagues.

Absolutely Perfect in every way
The best vendor you will work with and the most amazing food you will taste! I could not recommend Kiss the Chef more!! Michael and Chef Ed are so incredible. Michael will put you completely at ease throughout your whole planning process. Chef Ed creates meals that your guests will rave about and their staff is kind and professional. They did everything we asked of them to perfection and went way above and beyond that! They are also really fairly priced which is an added bonus! If you want your event to be memorable and go off without a hitch, use Kiss the Chef!

Great food, great people!
The team at Kiss the Chef were fantastic to work with from day one when we found them at an open house. The food we tried there was amazing, but then they helped us to try other dishes by cooking them for us at another event they went to. So accommodating, and such nice guys as well. Cannot recommend them enough.

Great Experience, Service and Food
Wow. Just wow. We cannot say enough good things about Kiss the Chef. We did our due diligence, attending tastings for several caterers. By far, the food quality was the highest with Kiss the Chef. We went with the artichoke chicken, pork tenderloin with bacon jam, corn elote, grilled asparagus, and a individual salad. In addition, we had the seasonal crustini as a passed appetizer while the post-wedding photos were being done. Post wedding, we received many positive comments on the taste, presentation and quality of the food. We were really happy that our loved ones that attended our reception received a high quality meal. Working with Kiss the Chef was easy. The only in person meeting prior to the wedding was at a tasting where we met the chef and the manager. It was clear the chef takes his cooking seriously. He is truly a chef who enjoys his art of preparing food for others. We worked mostly with Mike, the manager. He was very responsive to our questions and concerns and had great suggestions for improving our event. His attention to detail and commitment to quality was evident throughout. The event. Kiss the Chef showed up on time and took care of everything they committed to and more. The table settings were immaculate. The serving line was beautifully adorned. The plated 75 people in about 20-25 mins and managed to make everyone's plate look wonderful. Here is an example of what makes them special, We had one guest with a very specific food requirement. When nothing on our menu filled the need, Mike disappeared into the kitchen onsite and prepared a specific meal to meets the needs of the guest. Wow.

Best Catering Company - Forks Down!
As my title states - Best Wedding Event Catered Food, "hands down," or I should say "Forks Down!" Meaning without any question this is truly the best! I wish they had a restaurant! Chef Farmer lived up to his name and I wanted to Kiss him, over, and over again for making my daughter's wedding better than any of my other family members recently catered wedding! Michael, the Director was so fun to work with, and so helpful. Michael took the time to give help me choose every vendor from their list of good people. These vendors along with Kiss the Chef LOVE what they do, it shows, and they all worked in unison to make our day special! They made it so "special," that I don't know how I could have done it without them. If they don't open a restaurant they need to open a consulting business for weddings!

Michelin Rated 5 Stars - Most Delicious Catered Cuisine You Will Ever Find!
We had Kiss the Chef, Chef Ed Farmer cater our wedding at Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch. Wow, Top Notch Cuisine & Customer Service like no other catering business out there! Chef Ed should be Rated 5 Michelin Stars! Chef creates a creamy & decadent Parmesan artichoke sauce that is draped on top of grilled chicken, then kicks up the flavor with marinated tomatoes, balsamic drizzle, & micro greens for a final beautifully delicious touch! It was truly a work of art & served in less than 15 minutes by him & his friendly staff for our 150 guests. To this day we still hear from our guests that they were blown away by the flavorful & delicious presentation. Book them today, you will be glad you did!
Oh, I forgot to share with you that the Beef Brisket with chipotle raspberry sauce is so perfectly smoked & moist that you don't even need a knife to cut it! We paired it with a champagne vinaigrette beet salad that looked too beautiful to eat, but I did, & Bacon Mac-N-Cheese.

Absolutely Wonderful
The entire Kiss The Chef team was very professional and the food was absolutely wonderful! We hosted a conference for 250 and served two separate catered meals, afternoon appetizers and breakfast the following morning. Our conference attendees were raving about the food and presentation of both meals.
I worked with Michael in pre-planning details on a tight timeline and he was very attentive. Chef Ed created menus that were well suited to our needs and I was blown away by his creativity in the kitchen. Every single item served was delicious, plated beautifully, and had clear intentionality behind it.
The entire team was professional, kind, and attentive. The set up and serving process was well organized, clean, and beautifully presented. I also received just the right amount of communication leading up to and during the event.
I would highly recommend this team for any catered event and hope to work with them again in the future. Well done, team!

Kiss The Chef is AMAZING! We decided to use them after tasting their delicious food at another wedding and it was outstanding the second time around! I still have guests from our wedding mentioning how good the food was! They are super professional, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Kiss the chef are the best! Everyone kept telling me how good the food was! They were also helpful when I needed to switch my venue last minute. I now recommend them to everyone and hope to use them again in the future for any events we may have! My brother also used them for their wedding and it was amazing. They go above and beyond to make sure your menu is exactly what you want!

Best Wedding Food & Customer Service!
We worked with Kiss the Chef Catering for the last two years on planning our wedding dinner. When we had to reschedule due to the pandemic, they worked with us and all the money that we paid was given as a credit to use for our rescheduled wedding. Michael, the Director even went a step above and beyond to make sure that the vendors and venue knew about our circumstances which made the reschedule process so much easier on us.
Our dinner was incredibly delicious and prepared by Executive Chef Ed. When my wife and I met Chef Ed we told him he was the King of Sauces! To this day I am still receiving high praise about the cuisine served! Thank you to you both and your staff for making our day so special!

Amazing food! 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We are so happy we hired Kiss the Chef for our wedding! They were great to work with and the food was amazing!!! My friends and family still talk about the food and have us wanting more every time we think about it. We had Bruschetta as our appetizer, an amazing salad, the Brisket, the Bacon wrapped Chicken with Elote sauce and the Garlic Mash and wow… all were so delicious! It was such a pleasure to work with them and we highly recommend you hiring them! The service was great from the very beginning and even after our wedding. If I ever have another event I need to hire catering for I will definitely go back to Kiss the Chef! Thank you guys so much!

Absolutely Delicious & the most memorable part of our day!
Kiss the Chef was stupendous, delicious, and just a pleasure to work with! We attended a 7 course tasting which included dessert (at no charge). We were sold from the first bite that we took of their Famous Parmesan Artichoke Chicken! Chef Ed even took the time during a busy tasting to explain each dish that was brought out to us and had a few laughs with us (he was so personable and fun)! Michael shared some wedding tips and gave us advice on some of the best vendors to book, and we did just that. If it wasn’t for these two amazing hardworking individuals we wouldn’t have had such the perfect day. We cannot thank Chef Ed and Director Michael enough for being such wonderful and caring businessmen.

Amazing went above and beyond!
Kiss the Chef was amazing, the food was outstanding ,receiving complaints from our guests of how great the appetizers/dinner was. Great options- we had the Elote dip w/tortilla chips and 3 Bruschetta's for cocktail hour- Chipotle Brisket, Green Chicken enchiladas, Vegetarian lasagna, Champaign vinaigrette salad and rolls for dinner. The staff went above and beyond, the venue owner was running 30min late to enter the dining room from cocktail hour. Kiss the Chef employees jumped in helping to set tables, place chairs,light candles and clean up. They saved the day!!! Highly recommended!

There's not enough words to describe how perfect this company is. From the people to the food, I would recommend them over and over again. Michael is not only a pleasure to work with, but him and his crew helped my venue to make it the most perfect day! And THE FOOD! The food was all anyone could talk about and still talks about! Overall, they put every ounce they had to make it the best experience and I can't say enough good things about this group! Book them before it's too late!

Truly Delicious & Fun to work with!
STOP, Don’t Scroll Any Further! Believe me when I say that you have found the perfect caterer. As Chef Ed & Michael always say, “Let us Make Your Special Day Delicious!” They did just that and so much more..
The cuisine by Chef Ed was phenomenal and my guests won’t stop talking about it! We’ve been to many weddings over this last year and all of my friends said that they wish they had picked Kiss the Chef too! The customer service was truly top notch. The buffet, plated by their staff was so fast, our 150 guests got through the line within minutes. Michael always responded within minutes and they both made the whole process of choosing a caterer so much fun and easy!

Excellent service and food!
We picked Kiss the Chef catering for our wedding last year after trying few samples from other caterer. This one was the best choice we ever made. They were professional and so understanding. They went above and beyond for our wedding. Everything they do they made sure that we had enough to eat, check on our guests and clean up after them. Their food was delicious and everyone raved about them!! 10/10! I wanted to have another plate but my stomach could not handle any more food. I’d love to hire Kiss the Chef again for our future events!

Amazing food, service and attention to detail and safety
Last year we selected Kiss the Chef catering for our wedding because of their outstanding food and willingness to work together on ideas to make certain options more accessible and eco-friendly. We are so glad to have chosen them as our vendor and they have proven time and time again that Kiss the Chef is the #1 choice for catering. Our wedding is next month and we were having some concerns about how catering would be handled because of COVID during the start of the pandemic. Kiss the Chef has gone above and beyond to stay in contact with us about the work that they have put in and how they will be keeping us, our guests and themselves safe. Yesterday, while we did our wedding planning meeting during an open house, we really got to see how absolutely amazing they have been in person. Not only is the appearance, taste and obvious quality of their food and service superior, but the obvious precautions that they are taking are really amazing. They have streamlined their service to be fast and efficient while taking into account the proper safety guidelines, without loosing their charm and style.

We had sooo many compliments on the dinner that Kiss the Chef made. There was more than enough food and I couldn't believe enough protein for everyone to try both the chicken and brisket. Everything turned out amazing and we couldn't have been happier (or fuller!). Thank you!!

Best Catering Team EVER!
Kiss the Chef is hands down the best catering company I have ever been fortunate enough to work with. We fell in love with them at a bridal open house a year before our wedding and immediately knew that we had to have them. From start to finish, Michael and Chef Ed went above and beyond to make everything easy and exactly as we imagined. They were so helpful every step of the way. As somebody with a background in events, I felt so relieved being able to release control to them and not have to worry about a thing. I knew that I was in good hands and everything would be amazing. Their beautiful display and out of this world food was the talk of the night. My husband and I are still receiving messages 3 months later from our guests saying that our wedding had the best food they have ever tasted. Our special day wouldn't have been complete without Kiss the Chef and I look forward to every future opportunity I have to eat their food. If you are still considering who to use for your event, look no further. I promise you that you can't go wrong with Kiss the Chef Catering.

We went with Kiss the Chef after trying samples from multiple vendors. Their menu options were unique and all delicious! But what I loved most was how quick Michael replies to text messages and also the quality of the service. He even made efforts to bring appetizers himself to where the groom and I were taking pictures alone! Little details like that that show effort and fantastic service! Highly recommend working with them!

Kiss The Chef was top knotch service from beginning to end. They captured our vision perfectly and made everything gorgeous on our special day. The food? Only THE. BEST.

Yummy, plentiful food. Beautiful presentation.
Appetizers -- could have made a meal out of them alone. Spectacular fresh fruit (berries, my favorite), so many cheeses, homemade crackers and it goes on. Wonderful presentation.
The meal was buffet style -- loved that it was staffed with servers so that the line moved quickly. Brisket with horseradish sauce, mmm; chicken with avocado topping, I heard sighs of delight; garlic mashed potatoes, everyone had them so we didn't worry about garlic breath. Enough food for seconds.
I highly recommend Kiss the Chef Catering.

Guess can’t stop talking about the food!
Thank you Michael and Chef Ed along with the amazing staff you brought to the venue. My daughter’s wedding was amazing and the guest loved the food! Michael made sure everything looked fantastic and Chef Ed made sure the food was beyond our expectations! The appetizers were great they were passed to our guest and again Michael made sure he took care of the bride and groom as well as my husband and myself. We have a guest with serve allergies and they made sure his food was prepared and put aside so that he wouldn’t have a reaction. We planned well in advance and Michael asked about cake cutting weeks before the wedding so that we had someone there to do that. It is something I would not have thought of until it was too late. I would highly recommend Kiss the Chef Catering to anyone who asks and I will definitely use them again.

Best food in the state!
What can we say about Kiss The Chef?
The food on our wedding day was superb. But to be honest, we expected nothing less. From the beginning of our wedding planning we were convinced that they where the caterers that would do our day justice. So we were delighted when we found out that they were on the preferred vendors list at our chosen venue.
We had become virtual stalkers of theirs going to open houses, wedding fairs and anywhere else we would get a chance to try their food.
Executive Chef Ed Farmer and Director Michael Flores are two of the nicest gentlemen that you could wish to work with, a pleasure really. And on the day, they produced it, big time.
And most important, the food. All we can say is if this pair ever opened a restaurant we would have a reoccurring booking every weekend if we can.

Best wedding food ever
We were thoroughly impressed with Kiss the Chef Catering. Their food was without a doubt the best wedding food I have ever had. Most wedding food is simply average, but not Kiss the Chef! All of our guests commented on how amazing the food was. All of the proteins were tender and moist and the mac and cheese was to die for! We had champagne fried chicken and donuts and a Bruschetta station for our cocktail hour and both of those were also delicious. We cannot recommend this company enough! They were so nice and easy to work with as well as making incredible food. Book them!

Can I leave more than 5 stars?
My husband and I had the great opportunity of working with Kiss the Chef throughout our wedding process and for our wedding this past weekend. From day one they have been the most communicative, easy going, and most professional service that we had during our wedding. We knew from the first time we met with them and had the opportunity to eat their AMAZING food we instantly knew we wanted to have them cater our wedding. During our 14 month engagement they stayed in communication with us and were always there if I had any questions or changed my mind.
We just had our wedding this past Friday and I cannot tell you how many raves that we got walking around about how fantastic the food was and how satisfied people were. I want to find a time that we can go back to our venue just to have an opportunity to eat the food again! We would leave a million starts for them if we could. They really made our wedding night fantastic and we just love them so much!

Best Day Ever!!
From the very first tasting of the food we knew they were the only choice. From the very first fun, yet professional, interaction with Michael I knew it would be the best meal at any wedding I have attended and that we would be friends for life!! Michael and Chef Ed are the best choice for any event!!!

We booked Kiss the Chef Catering through The Windmill Winery as one of their packaged vendors for our wedding on 9/22/18 and we are so glad we did! Chef Ed is marvelous and Michalel makes it run flawlessly!! Their customer service was second to none! They are a great team and so easy to work with. We worked together to build our menu and we even paid for an upgrade and added 2 appetizers to be served during cocktail hour. They accommodated our special requests including a vegan meal for the grooms little sister. Most importantly our guests LOVED the food! Everyone raved about it and told us they wanted to lick their plates clean. No one went hungry at our wedding! We couldn’t have found a better caterer if we tried! If Chef Ed ever opens his own restaurant we will be there opening night! We can’t thank them enough for helping us make our wedding a foodies dream come true!

We met executive Chef Ed and Michael at an open house for our venue. We were immediately impressed with their friendliness and the beautiful set-up they had for the meal. That was all before we even tasted the food and we were not disappointed! We instantly chose them to cater our wedding and it has been a fantastic decision. They are patient, understanding, affordable, and very accommodating. Thank you guys for making this a stress-free process and having the best wedding food we've ever had!

I can not rave enough about Kiss The Chef both Michael and Ed were so wonderful to work with! The overall spread from the décor and flowers Michael created for the buffet, to the delicious and good looking food Chef Ed prepared were amazing and just added to making my Big day that much more special! The smell of the food alone is heavenly, but it tastes even better that it smells! Thank you Michael and Ed for such an accommodating, professional, and scrumptious dinner to add to a night I will remember for the rest of my life!

Micheal and Ed of Kiss the Chef were friendly, attentive, and responsive from the first time I contacted them! I went to an open house to taste the food and upon arriving I saw the beautiful buffet set up complete with decor and floral. Not only were the decorations on point, but once I tried the food I knew I had found who I wanted at my wedding! They have great and unique food options, I’m most excited about the gourmet chicken and waffles and the super cute mason jar salads. They offered an amazing menu at an amazing package price and I cannot say enough good things about Kiss the Chef. I was so excited to book them that I left my purse at the tasting... I called their number and they quickly found my purse and kept it safe upon my return!

The meal of grilled chicken with parmesan sauce and beef brisket with port cherry sauce served at my daughter's wedding in Nov was probably the best meal I have ever had! Friends and family are still talking about it. Everything was good, right down to the balsamic butter. l was pleasantly surprised, we didn't have to choose between the beef and chicken. We were offered both. The staff was super friendly and helpful. So nice! Great value, and I would highly recommend Kiss the Chef Catering.

After sampling the food prepared by Kiss the Chef Catering at an open house event we were blown away with flavors and knew our guests at our wedding would be too! My husband and I chose Kiss the Chef to cater our wedding and we could not have been happier with the decision. We both loved the food and we had so many guests let us know how much they enjoyed it as well. Not only was the food delicious, but the additional work that they put into the décor really went above and beyond and was so beautiful! Ed and Michael are both so nice and were wonderful, professional and accommodating to work with. We are hoping that all of our friends that are yet to get married choose Kiss the Chef for their own weddings so that we can stuff ourselves with their delicious creations again! We also hope that Ed and Michael open a restaurant in the near future so that we can frequent it on a weekly basis! We highly recommend Kiss the Chef Catering and know that you and your guests will not be disappointed!

Food: 9/10 We used Kiss The Chef through our venue which was the Windmill Winery. Seriously the best food we have ever eaten. I want to contact them to make some food for our one year anniversary. We had chicken with this white creamy cheese sauce. They were also very accommodating in making some sides for my vegetarian guests that served as their main course. Only complaint, as soon as everyone was done being served dinner they packed up and were gone. I kinda rushed through my dinner because we were called to do other things and I turned around later in the evening to get a second helping and they were gone. It would have been nice if they could have left some food for anyone else wanting seconds later in the evening. I also wish I could have gotten some cake. We had our cake cutting but we weren’t served any cake after. Luckily we had the top tier put aside for us to take home.
But besides that the food was absolutely delicious and all our guests commented the following week how this was the best meal they ever had at a wedding! They also loved the appetizers served during cocktail hour which were these mini gourmet burgers.

My husband and I can't even begin to thank Kiss the Chef Catering for the amazing experience they provided us on our wedding day. We were married at The Windmill Winery on September 22, 2017. Throughout the entire planning process, they made it easy and were super responsive to our requests and provided answers quickly to any questions that we had. Their display during our wedding was also beautiful and was included in the package. Every guest at our wedding couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was and that it "was the best food they ever had at any wedding". We had the chicken and waffles and red wine burgers for appetizers, and then the chicken with artichoke spread, brisket with raspberry chipotle sauce, and au gratin potatoes. All of it was AMAZING. If you're looking for an amazing caterer that is not only good at cooking, but also has amazing customer service skills, these are your guys! Thank you to everyone involved that made our wedding day so special!

The best wedding food we have ever had. Our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the food was! All it took was one taste of Chef Ed's chicken with artichoke sauce and I was counting down the days until we could have more at our wedding. Thank you Kiss the Chef for making our barn wedding beautiful and delicious!

When looking at the offered vendors with The Windmill Winery we knew pretty instantly who we wanted to cater our wedding. Chef Ed, Michael, and the Kiss the Chef staff provide incredibly tasty, filling and satisfying food. Throughout our various tastings food has been consistently delicious and we cannot wait for them to cater our wedding. What they offer their couples surpasses other vendors and allowed us to really pick a menu that showcased some of our favorite foods while knowing that the guests at our wedding will be taken care of.
Speaking about their customer service they’re seriously the best. Michael has gone above and beyond to work with us via email, facebook, texting and in person. We feel lucky to have someone like Michael who manages to keep his brides like myself, calm and informed throughout the process.
We’ve met a lot of vendors throughout this process but Kiss the Chef are one of the vendors who has really made this process easy. We can’t wait for our wedding day and are thankful that we have Chef Ed and Michael on our team.

I can't say enough about Kids the Chef.
They catered my daughters wedding in March at the Wind Mill Winery. The food was fantastic! The guest couldn't stop commenting on how great the food was. My daughter lives in Texas and works crazy hours so it wasn't easy for them. They were so accommodating and helpful to us with planning the food menu. If your looking for a great food, great caterers, and great caring professionals they are people to call!

Kiss the Chef is absolutely amazing! My wedding guest couldn't get over how amazing the food was and kept telling my husband and I it was the best wedding food they ever had! The accommodated us well also as there was a misunderstanding of what menu's came with our venue but in the end gave us the one we wanted and either way we were more than happy to have them as our caterer! Let me tell you they decorated their station so nicely also, absolutely loved the presentation and the food!

Kiss the chef catering is like going to a 5 star restaurant. 7 other caterers I tried could not even come close to the quality and taste of their food. Not to mention, how easy it is to do business with them. I would recommend them to anyone. Start here, you won't need to go anywhere else!

Michael and Chef Ed are the sweetest people and absolutely amazing at what they do. If you want top notch, look NO further. They will definitely exceed your expectations on every level.
All the guests raved about how delicious dinner was and told me it was hands down the best meal they've ever had at a wedding. They brought my hubby and I our plates to out sweetheart table and I promised myself I was only going to have a few bites and save the rest for later due to my extremely fitted dress. Well, that plan went out the window as soon as I starting eating. It was too delightful to stop.
They are patient, understanding, and so flexible to work with. I was definitely not an easy bride to get a hold of due to my busy work schedule and living a few states away, they worked with our financial situation and made things so easy. No stress at all! If you are searching for the very best business to cater your special day or any event, you HAVE to go with KISS THE CHEF!!!!

We used Kiss the Chef for our wedding at the Lake House at the Windmill Winery and the food was absolutely amazing! We attended one of the bridal open houses and sampled their food and it was no contest that Kiss the Chef was the best! We choose the BBQ package for our big day and we received endless compliments from our guests about the food. "Best wedding food I've ever had." Kiss the Chef set up a beautiful display of flowers around the buffet and it looks so classy and amazing. We would choose them over and over again, you wont be disappointed!

We are in the middle of planning our wedding and are so pleased with our choice Kiss the Chef. Michael is prompt in returning phone calls and answering questions down to the smallest of details. We have tasted the food and love it. My fiance is loving the selection of meat and spoke with the chef about his special selection. I have not tried anything that I would not serve but the chicken with artichoke is a must! I am equally impressed with the presentation and all the details...I'm all about details! The food is displayed with fresh flowers, signs, special lighting. (We do eat with our eyes first!) Looking forward to our day and working with this company. It has been so easy to plan and leaves us to enjoy! Update to follow!
