Amazing, Food and Staff were great!
Let me start off with saying that everything was amazing! the staff was great and Robert who helped us planned was amazing. We got so many compliments about the food, friends and family telling us it was the best wedding food they've had.
We got married March 14th, 2020 right before the state shut down due to Covid. Robert and the team were they and so supportive for us! it was an uncertain and stressful time but they stuck with us and made everything wonderful! -

Our Amazing Wedding
I couldn't have been more pleased with Emily and the Kosch Catering Crew. I had a choice to use 8 different vendors and after having conversations with them all Emily was the one I was most comfortable with. She helped us create a beautiful menu and we couldn't have been more pleased. We also had a horrible time with our venue. There was massive construction making it difficult for the crew to access the banquet room AND we had to change the start time of our reception to an hour later than scheduled. Emily and her crew overcame all of these obstacles and were able to provide our guests with an amazing brunch. We couldn't be more grateful for all of their hard work on our special day. Thank you Emily and Kosch Catering! -

Great to Work With!!
We had a great experience working with the team! Kosch Catering handled all of the details with our venue and they were fantastic to work with! Lana was always very responsive from the day we asked about information and available dates, all the way up to the week of the wedding. Our on-site banquet manager, Robert, was absolutely the best! He went out of our way to make sure everything was coordinated and set up perfectly, and he also helped my singer and family with some last minute issues with our sound and speaker for the ceremony. I cannot say enough about how great Robert and the rest of the staff were, the day before and the day of the wedding! -

Amazing team and dynamite food!
Everyone who catered our event was amazing and so helpful! The ladies helping me and my husband were so thoughtful and frequently checked in on us to see if we needed anything. They offered to make up my dinner plate while my mother was pinning up my dress which was seriously so thoughtful! Again, amazing team and the food was killer!!!! -

We had Kosch Catering for our wedding food and cake. We received so many compliments on how good the food was and how delicious the cake was! The cake turned out exactly how I had pictured it and the 2 different images I was trying to merge together into our wedding cake. Highly recommend their services! -

Kosch catering was amazing! They were the caterer for our wedding at Indian Springs Metropark in August. From the very beginning, I was very pleased with them. Lana was very responsive and answered all of my questions throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, Michelle was my contact and she was incredible. She was there for any last minute questions or needs and readily available. There was one little detail that was overlooked and Michelle came to me immediately to make sure it was handled. The food was out of this world! Everyone raved about all of the food and the service. All around, I would recommend Kosch for any event you need catered. -

I had an absolutely marvelous experience with Kosch Catering. I dealt only with Fran Allen and she was AMAZING! Kosch catered my wedding on Sept. 16, 2017. Prior to that we took part in 2 tastings, one of which was hosted by Kosch and provided us to opportunity to sample numerous offerings. The food was good as both tastings and at the wedding. The staff that worked my wedding was very professional and kind. I, nor any of my guests, had any complaints regarding their services. Fran is such a joy to work with. I did not have one worry dealing with her. She promptly responded to all of my questions and made adjustments to my menu per my request. There is not one thing that I would change about my caterer. They helped to make my day PERFECT! I strongly recommend Kosch and will use them in the future for any events that I host. -

I got married at Indian Springs Metropark, and they require you to use Kosch Catering. At first, I was very nervous about this, but Kosch ended up being great. I also was a little concerned at first because their price per plate seemed high. However, after comparing them to other vendor/venue combinations, the value is the same because Kosch and the metropark provide EVERYTHING you need. I didn't have to find chairs, tables, linens, glassware, etc. They provided literally everything except decorations. Everyone raved about the food and drinks. I highly recommend the strolling dinner package. It was far and away the most food for your money. Lana was always very responsive and friendly, and Brittany, my event coordinator, was an impeccable professional, with a very sweet disposition. I'm very satisfied with my service from Kosch. -

Seriously awesome job from EVERYONE. Lana was always available to meet wit us and was very professional throughout the entire process. Rob was wonderful at helping to set up/tear down and even helped decorate when I had no clue what to make of all my head table decorations. The wait staff was very professional and bartenders made awesome drinks. They even gave us a signature drink. Kosch was great and I had a perfect wedding day. -

Kosch catered my wedding on July 11th at The Chateau on the River in Elizabeth Park. I cannot begin to express how happy I was with the whole process of planning and how wonderful the actual wedding turned out. Lana was very attentive throughout the planning process. Always answering emails and phone calls right away. Amber and Jerry were my onsite managers during the rehearsal and wedding and were very helpful and accommodating. The food was amazing! The service was fast, professional and everything ran smoothly. The bar was wonderful and every single guest raved about the food, drinks, and venue. I really do not have anything but great things to say. Thank you to the Kosch team for making my wedding everything I dreamed it would be! -

We loved the food! They were the caterer for Indian Springs Metropark and buffet style. The only thing was they only have one good tasting event per year and we had to jump on that right away in order to try the food but it was all delicious, and Lana was wonderful to work with! -

DELISH!!! That is all I can say about the hog heaven BBQ that we had for our wedding. Everyone raved on how great the food was and LOVED the chicken wings. Staff was amazing with the guests and with the bride and groom. The bartender remembers what everyone was drinking which impressed my guests!! Lana was amazing to work with and everyone who was at the wedding was so nice. Thank you! -

We had our wedding at the Environmental Discovery Center at Indian Springs Metropark - they require that you use Kosch catering if you are having an event there, and now I understand why! Everything was PERFECT on our wedding day. Thank you Lana and Cass for putting up with my constant flow of emails for the past year! They responded within 10 minutes usually and answered all of my questions - you both deserve an award! We had the Silver package which was very well priced! The food was DELICIOUS!! Guests were going up for seconds! I dont regret using Kosch for a second. They were even able to make a meal gluten free for my cousin who has an extreme allergy. The cake was gorgeous and delicious - Thank you so much Cass!! You are an artist. - The Sobels -

Kosch was exceptionally flexible with me. We had the Barbeque Menue, for our Labor Day Weekend wedding at Sunset Terace Banquet Tent at Stony Creek Metropark. Even though we had hamburgers and BBQ chicken it didn't feel too informal. All the dinnerware for the package we had was disposable, but it was good quality so even though we had plastic forks, they were silver so it looked like silverware. It made our budget wedding seem more formal and elegant than just having a backyard wedding with regular paper plates and cheap plastic forks. If you're looking for that back yard wedding feel but with a bit more class within your budget, I reccomend Kosch. We did consider a potluck picnic wedding but it is so much easier to let someone else take care of the food. Trust me if you're a DIY or Budget bride. And if you're looking for a high class family style dinner, they offer that service as well, with real dishes, and their prices arent bad comparatively. But for what my husband and I were looking for, Kosch was perfect! They helped make our day perfect. Cass and Lana were always quick to respond to my many emails. -

My venue only books with Kosch so I didn't have a choice, but the food was delicious! Lana was super accommodating and responded quickly to all of my emails. Cass too was very responsive. The wait staff at the reception were so nice and helpful. I really appreciated having to turn in the details 10 days before-made the week before the wedding run much smoother. I was also blown away when I found out at the reception that they had made a signature drink! They were really great to work with! -

We were married at Indian Springs Metropark in September. We found Indian Springs almost 2 years prior to our wedding, and fell in love instantly. At first, we were not very excited based on the fact we only had 1 option for our caterer. The second thing we were not pleased with was the fact that they had 1 time per year tasting. It made us very nervous that it was so limited. We then tasted the food at the tasting held in March- and we were even more nervous! We were not very pleased with what we tried, and they did not have their whole menu available to taste.
However! Communication with Lana and Kosch was wonderful. She was very helpful and very flexible with our needs. They were very helpful day of- they made our reception look beautiful. The staff (especially the main contact day of and the bartender) were amazing and SO nice. They were wonderful to our guests, on time and fed them good! I will be honest and say that my husband nor I ate very much day of, but what we did taste was MUCH MUCH better than the tasting. Our guests said the food was excellent and were very pleased- and we had picky eaters! They accommodated our wants and needs; some at a cost, but they were still met. Overall, for as much anxiety we had prior to the day, it all worked out perfectly. -

We had our wedding at Indian Springs Metropark and thoroughly enjoyed the buffet provided by Kosch. The Traverse City Chicken was delicious, as were the other entrees and cold salads. Our guests had nothing but positive things to say about the food and were definitely stuffed by the end of the night! The late night snack was a huge hit! The only challenge for us was the tasting event as we are out of state; but we made it work and everything was great! -

We got married at Indian Springs metropark and Kosch Catering was the assigned cater. We weren't able to taste the food until 2 months prior to our event. They only have one time a year that you can taste the food. Fortunately the food was good and the service was outstanding. I thought they were a little pricey but the day of our wedding they really delivered. Lana who I was in contact with for pre wedding decisions answered my emails in a very timely manner. She helped me with all my questions and I must of changed what I wanted numerous times. She never seemed to mind and she got every detail correct. The day of the wedding Tammy was there for anything I needed. I even had a strange request to have her pickup a live fish for me that I needed to incorporate into our cake. Anything I needed she was there. The wait staff was very friendly and one of them even pinned the bottem of my wedding dress because my new husband kept stepping on it when we practiced our first dance. I believe her name was Donna. I would highly recommend Kosch. The staff really went above and beyond and helped make my day go smoothly. My guest seemed to have the same experience as I did. Multiple people told me how great the food was and how friendly the staff was. -

I cannot say enough good things about Kosch. Our wedding was at Indian Springs Metropark, and the onsite staff was really fantastic and very communicative (but not overwhelmingly so) throughout the night. They really went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Lana always responded to my emails extremely promptly and answered any questions I had in great detail. Cass made our cake and I really loved the way it turned out. We have had a lot of guests comment on how good the food, the champagne, and the cake was (we had chicken marsala, roast beef with rosemary au jus, and spice cake). I was a little apprehensive going in based on some previous reviews, but our experience was overwhelmingly positive. -

Kosch, and specifically Lana, was the caterer for the venue we chose. Initially we had misgivings given that we did not get to choose our own caterer, but they were wonderful to work with, the food was great, and the service at the reception was very friendly.

Indian Springs Wedding
We had our wedding at Indian Springs Metropark and were required to use Kosch Catering. Lana was very thorough to work with through email. She always answered all of our questions very quickly. The food selection was expansive. Our guests really enjoyed our food! We had the strolling dinner package. Michelle was our day of coordinator and she was AMAZING. I loved working with Michelle. She was very kind and thorough. -

Great options, friendly service, tasty food
This vendor had excellent options for a variety of styles of receptions. We worked with Fran who was awesome. She was very responsive and open to our somewhat non-traditional style. She was great at explaining different options and providing suggestions. She even listed all the foods that were gluten free on our menu upon request (we had a few guests that were gluten free and this really helped them with they food selections). The food was great. We opted for a Detroit themed strolling dinner with food stations inspired by Eastern Market, Greektown and Mexicantown, as well as a Faygo float station (the ground lamb pitas were my favorite). We liked that they offered different food choices in addition to the traditional sit down or family style dinners. The only thing I did not like was that the stations were not always manned, particularly near the end of the dinner so if guests had a question about the food there wasn't always someone to ask and there wasn't always someone there to judge how much food to have out at a time leaving a lot of the food near the end to get cold. But this really only happened at the end of the dinner and no one probably noticed but me. I would have liked the faygo float station to have been manned throughout as well. Once the float materials were set up, the guests were left to build their own floats which left at least one guest spilling soda everywhere. But we all had a good laugh about the spill and the staff cleaned everything quickly and with a smile. I didn't think to ask much about how the stations were manned before the reception and I think if I would have had a discussion about it before the reception, the vendor would have made sure the stations were manned to our liking. Again, it was probably a minor thing that only I noticed. The food tasted very good and the staff was very polite and worked hard. This vendor also handled our linens and had a great variety of color options. They also handled our bar service and were awesome. Great selection of bar packages, bartenders were very friendly and fast, and they were great at catering to our liquor and beer requests. -

When I first started working with Kosch I was a little unsure. Since my reception was going to be at a metro park I had no choice but to use them. In the beginning I wasn't too happy with how quiet they were. It would have been nice if I could have met with someone to discuss options, and it would have been nice if someone told us that there was only one day to taste test the food, and what day that would be, but the week before the wedding, and the day of were perfect! The food was delicious! Extremely good for buffet style! The staff was great, very helpful on the day of, and about two days before I realized there had been a miscommunication about the start time, but when I called they were able to move everything up an hour so that was very nice. In the end they helped make it a beautiful wedding. -

Kosch catered my wedding at Indian Springs Metropark. At first I was a little nervous about using them as Indian Springs require they are the caterer but they provided awesome service and their food was amazing. Lana was helpful in answering all my questions and promptly responding to my emails. Robert, our day of event coordinator, was fantastic! He decorated the buffet table and the balcony which was above and behind what we expected! Many of our guests complimented our food and cake! -

The day of, they were helpful and professional. We had one slight issue but it was taken care of immediately by the day of manager. The food was great (especially the mac & cheese) and the cake was fantastic. -

Overall I wasn't too pleased with the fact that I was stuck with Kosch catering because they had a contract with my lovely venue, Indian Springs metro park EDC. They had very strict on their options and I found them very limiting. Specifically with the bar. We had the platinum package and which is the highest bar package and our only beer options were bud light and labatt. We would've like to do a michigan themed bar but it was out of the question. Also the liquor choices for the premium bar were average not top shelf. The one upside is that Lana our main point of contact was very nice, responsive and professional. Also Tami, the day of coordinator, and our serve/bar staff was also very nice and reliable. However the company as a whole has some work to do on their options and policies. -

We have to use this vendor because of our location of Indian Springs Metropark. We are getting married in July. So far the vendor has been easily reached by email. We have to go for the food tasting, which is yearly, in March.
Our biggest concern is the beer selection, they only offer Bud Light and Coors, even if you upgrade to the most expensive alcohol option. It seem that they used to allow couples to supply some alcohol but had "problems" with that. We were told that they may offer a craft beer option but have yet to here a definitive decision. -

I'm very disappointed that I can't give Kosch a higher rating, as the staff I dealt with on site (Kim and Brad) were great!! They treated my guests and I with much consideration, set up early the day before with us and handled the few snafus we had prior to the day with grace and professionalism. On the other hand, I'm absolutely DISGUSTED with Lana and the management staff that apparently back her decisions. She started out on the right track: she was timely in her responses to my questions, and very easy to talk to on the phone when working out the final details; she was kind to my mother in law when my MIL got a little anxious in the weeks/days prior (read: nitpicky!) to the event. It all went awry when I informed Lana that we invited a "small handful" of guests (4 people) to crash after dinner. She became very stiff and began to treat me as if I was trying to take advantage of her. I reassured her that I was happy to pay for any extra guests we had (beyond the 240 we paid for in advance) and I believed at the time that we were on the same page.
Following the event, I received an email 3 days later informing me that we had 15 extra guests for dinner and 15 extra that arrived after 9 pm and that I owed nearly $1,000 more. I immediately questioned the "after 9" guests, considering we only invited 4 people to come later and none of them made it. I did ask for two extra tables to be set up which made room for 265, but that was merely for my own convenience in making the seating chart. Long story short, Lana insisted that I had more guests and went ahead and charged my MILs credit card despite the fact that I explicitly stated in writing that she had NO permission to do so until we sorted everything out. She responded to my protests and documentation in a way that illustrated her inexperience and unprofessionalism. She used my honest heads up about the possibility of extra guests to take advantage of us; I'm highly disappointed and angry. -

5 days & no response, docking a star.
If you hired Kosch for your wedding, you WILL have to babysit them on the day of. The bathrooms weren't even CLEANED from the night before nor open at 3pm. How are you going to have a bridal tent for use, but no bathroom to use?
If you rent the bridal tent that is MEANT to be a lakeside lounge, make sure they do open the walls! And beware that it will likely be covered in grass from mowing - Dont let them tell you it was set up that day so you have to pay $500. They are trying that with us and I was there the day before to see it already up. Not to mention the grass and grass stains all over say otherwise.
EVEN THOUGH their own paper work states NOWHERE that it will remain closed on "hot" days (because it has a small crappy old personal AC unit is offered) they are refusing to refund this bridal tent that our party used for not even an hour, and that guests didn't use because it appeared to be closed to them.
NEVER was it communicated to me that they wanted to leave it closed. I was inside trying to greet guests and do what a bride does, that I didn't know it was never opened until later in the night. It's not my job to babysit the people I have hired. I would have immediately told them common sense with the large tent should apply with this one. The breeze from the lake will keep the area cool enough, rather than an enclosed area with a AC that takes 6hrs from the time it's turned on to even get close to temp - We have the EXACT SAME one in my office - 8hr day it still doesnt get to the temp, barely close, and my office is the same size as that tent. -

Everything is fine before the event. Should you have problems after the event and contact them-they are rude and unprofessional and just say I'm sorry. Executives from the company have hung up on me. -

The setup crew for Kosch was wonderful. At first I thought everything went fine. After the wedding, I began to hear of problems at the reception. First, as drinks were running low, guests were telling the waitstaff they needed to be refilled, my sister specifically told a staff member, their response: "that's not my station". Mind you we only had water, lemonade and ice tea. The second problem was that the 3-tier wedding cake was never cut for the guests. The only piece that was cut was the piece the bride and groom fed to each other. We had extra sheet cakes as we know the wedding cake would not be enough. The sheet cakes or the only thing the waitstaff cut. Third, I was never given my left over food that I had paid for. And we had plenty as we paid for extra people and then people cancelled the day of the wedding-so I know there was food left. I was never asked if I wanted it, what to do with it or anything! I carried my phone with me the whole time-they had my #. Never once was I greeted by the staff and asked if everything was going fine (mother of the bride). Upon learning all of these things I wrote Lana an email. Her response-I will take it to the management team. I said that's it - she said "yes, sorry for your dissatisfaction". I waited a week - no response. I then called the office asked for someone from the management team. Spoke to Grant Kosch (on a Thursday) told him my complaints. He said he would get back with me before the weekend to resolve the matter. It has been almost two weeks and have not had a response. I called again this week - spoke with the reception and told her I wanted to rely a message to the management team. I told her my complaints and that I was very dissatisfied with the lack of customer service Kosch provided. She asked for my name and number. That was 3 days ago. Still have not received a call, email, no response whatsoever. Because of my reviews they are not resolving making things right-their words! -

Unprofessional, no communication, won’t refund
My fiancé and I booked our wedding with Kosch and started planning our dream wedding. Things quickly went south with lack of communication on their end. First our tasting event was canceled one week prior to the event, next our event coordinator left the company and we were assigned someone new, this was not communicated to us until trying to contact the previous coordinator in an attempt to finalize some details. It was a constant voice mail and email waiting game dealing with them. Finally we were told just 30 days prior to our wedding that our event would not be able to go through and no dates would be available the remainder of the year. Faced with this tough decision we requested a refund being as no services had been rendered and they would not be able to host our wedding and on such short notices a change of venue or date simply was not possible or acceptable. I was then told that they would not honor a refund. So our deposit plus extra money paid towards our event is all being withheld without and services being provided. DO NOT BOOK YOUR EVENT WITH KOSCH! -

Good to start out and good food but not flexible and hard to work with at the end. One example is we had them set up a tent and they wanted it to go up the day of the wedding, like we weren't going to be busy with other stuff that day. They said it was because that's what the location said so we called the location and asked and they said we could set it up Thursday if we wanted so kosch just made that up. They also wanted to put up the tent in a different location than we wanted because "that's where they always put it", when the tent company came they looked at they space and laughed because they said there was no way it would fit, so they put it where we initially said. Would definitely not recomend, from someone who refused to believe the other poor reviews. -
