We hired Boka to cater our wedding and weeks later we're still hearing rave reviews from our guests! The food was incredible. Our passed canapes were creative and classy yet approachable. I've had several people tell me that the salad was the best they've ever had, and multiple people told me the entrees were the best they'd had at a wedding. Shawn was our sales manager and he went above and beyond for us. I wanted to have espresso martinis as a batched cocktail but didn't want to use cold brew, and he arranged for espresso shots to be ordered from a Starbucks nearby and stabilized with sugar for the evening. Having good food was important to us for our wedding and I'm so glad we went with Boka.
The Boka team did a fantastic job with catering our wedding. Liz is amazing and helped us create the perfect menu! Our family and friends were so impressed by the food and how professional the catering team was throughout the wedding! Would highly recommend Boka to anyone and everyone. Ryan and I loved it all!
We went with Boka for catering our 205 person wedding reception and it was such a great experience. We worked with Shawn who was very helpful throughout the whole process from doing the tasting to decide if we wanted to go with Boka all the way to the very end of the dinner service. The staff that was present on the day of was so kind and worked in a timely manner. Highly recommend.
We used BOKA Catering Group for our wedding reception dinner! We did a tasting and booked back in 2019 and finally had our reception in Nov 2021. Throughout the entire process (and due to the pandemic), we worked with several managers, but the transition between them was seamless. Helen was especially patient and lovely to work with! We got so many raving comments throughout the night about the food and service! In particular, our guests were impressed that all the food came from one catering company instead of multiple restaurants. At the beginning of our search for a caterer, our goal was to find one that could bring togehter Chinese and Asian-inspired dishes with American dishes, without making the Chinese food kitschy (for example, other caterers put the food in a Chinese takeout box - that doesn't make it Chinese haha). BRG was the only caterer that we did a tasting with that stayed true to the authentic Chinese culinary roots. The top favorites were the tofu and eggplant, short rib, roast duck, tenderloin, black garlic mashed potatoes, and Giuseppe's mashed potatoes!
Kate was amazing to work with - we had a wonderful experience with Boka. Food was great, venue looked perfect, they totally nailed it and were seamless in their execution. Thank you Boka & Kate!
We hired Boka for our wedding that we had originally planned for May 2020. By late March, it was clear that our original date was no longer viable. Boka graciously let us move our date with no pushback or issues. They treated us with the utmost kindness and professionalism through all the many changes we had to make due to COVID and all its related restrictions. From a guest count of 90 down to 50 and then 24 at the last minute (about one week out!), they worked with us every step of the way.
When the new date finally arrived, we didn’t have a single guest who didn’t rave about the outstanding level of service and the delicious food. They made our wedding and reception truly unforgettable, and they made the planning process so much easier than it could have been given the crazy, ever-changing circumstances.
Thank you Brian, Makayla, and Abby!
My husband and I wanted good food at our wedding, but man did we not expect having such outstanding flavors! From the memorable tasting all the way through the selection process, Boka's event staff bent over backwards to make sure every detail was covered. Many of our guests had high praises for the delicious food and how gourmet it was! We are very luck to have been given the opportunity to have Boka play a large role in our special day ~
Next to actually getting married, food was the most important part of our wedding. If you know good food, look no further than Boka Catering.
From our first tasting to the late night wedding food, everything was just delicious. The team was able to translate our favourite tastes and elevate them into a wonderful menu.
Each staff member, especially Jamison, were so professional and the wedding service was flawless. Jamison thought of everything and paid special attention to our needs. No one has to wait long for their glass to be filled and our guests couldn’t stop raving over how delicious the food was. Boka was the obviously choice for us and we are so happy for the quality and value we received! We wish we could eat that meal over and over!
Wowza. People say "there's no such thing as good wedding food." Boka blows this idea out of the water. First, the team was exceptionally pleasant to work with. They made fantastic recommendations based on what we liked, changed things that we didn't quickly, they were very professional, and they made us feel like our event was special to them. Second, their serving ware/linens/barware are beautifully selected. Third, the food! Oh my goodness the food! Beautifully plated and delicious!
