Chef’s Choice was absolutely amazing on our wedding day! They were accommodating with making all of our food options gluten free including our appetizers. We received many compliments on how good our food was from our guests! The staff did amaz...
ing at servicing our wedding and had even bagged up our cake/cupcakes for us at the end of the night! I would recommend Chef’s Choice to anyone!
The food was great, the staff was pretty easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and the staff at the wedding were so helpful and nice. We loved the variety of options and our guests all really enjoyed the food.
We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding reception. Kaitlyn at Chef's Choice listened to our requests, and helped us plan a non-traditional dinner of hors d'oeuvres that allowed our guests to roam Krohn Conservatory and explore the ve...
nue while chatting.
Kaitlyn helped us plan the right amount of food for our guests and plan the timing perfectly. The team took extra care to ensure me and my husband were both fed and had drinks in our hands!
We cannot recommend Chef's Choice enough. We got so many compliments on the food all evening.
Any questions?
Food was delicious and service was good! Thanks for helping make the night special everyone loved the penne and meatballs.
Absolutely amazing!!! From the tasting to the planning to the day of our wedding, Chef's Choice was perfect! They were so helpful and accommodating of my requests. The food was by far some of the best wedding food I've ever had! It tasted just ...
as good the day of as it did at the tasting. Our guests are still telling us how much they loved the food. I highly recommend them for any event!!
Chef's choice catered our wedding in September 2021. The staff (including the bartending staff they hired) were all excellent. The food was great, we loved that we were able to have a pasta bar, slider station and mashed potato bar, which was s...
omething a little unique and fun. They easily accommodated all of our guests dietary restrictions and best of all the price was great. Jenna was extremely responsive. They even helped us out with how to set up the tables and making signs for food as well as taking care of our dessert bar. We loved the group tasting we were able to attend in advance of our wedding (and as a bonus it was at our venue). It definitely got us excited and solidified that we chose the right caterers. We have gone to multiple weddings since ours with substandard catering, and it solidifies even more how great Chef's Choice is. Absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend!
We got a lot of compliments on the food and the staff were wonderful as well. Kaitlyn was easy to work with and extremely responsive to all my questions and requests. They were one of the more affordable caterers we found as well and everything...

We are SO glad we went with Chef's Choice! They were great to work with and the food was just so good. We did the sliders, taco bar and mac and cheese bar (not your typical wedding dinner). It was a hit -multiple people came up to us to tell us...
it was the best wedding food they've ever had! The staff was AMAZING and made our day that much more enjoyable. 10/10 recommend hiring them for your big day!

Chefs choice was so good! Their food was delicious, the staff was so nice, and their price was so doable! We were on sort of a budget and we were able to make little changes with them that made it perfect for us. Would totally recommend!!
Chef's Choice was so great for our wedding! We had the walking tacos, sliders, and mac n' cheese bar. The food was all so amazing and we heard nothing but great things from our guests. With COVID regulations, Chef's Choice really made sure they...
had everything prepped and efficiently laid out for our guests. The toppings were individually wrapped so you could grab and go to help keep the line moving. The Chef's Choice team was so great and friendly! They even carried the plates for myself and my husband so we just had to point, sit down, and enjoy. Whatever you needed, they were there to help. We really had such a great experience with Chef's Choice!!!
I am so happy that we went with Chef's Choice for our wedding. Not only was the staff simply amazing, guests raved about the food also. I was told by multiple people that it was the best wedding food that they had ever had. Everyone was so k...

So good and great to work with. All the guests were raving about the food.
Allison was amazing. She is so nice and knowledgeable and made the entire experience a breeze. The food was fantastic, we got so many compliments and the service day of was perfect, we couldn’t have asked for better caterers!

one weekend. Allison was so nice and helpful throughout all of planning. The food for the rehearsal dinner and wedding was amazing, and people have been commenting to me a week after my wedding! Would definitely recommend!
Chef’s choice was excellent to work with. They have a large menu to choose from and are very reasonably priced. We got lots of compliments on the food at our reception. Highly recommend!

The food at our wedding was absolutely fantastic. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for better. Everything was warm and cooked well. One of our guests even said that it was the best vegetarian meal she had ever had at a wedding. Highly recommend!

So amazing. Good food and even better people at our wedding. We could not have asked for a better caterer for our special day!

We can't say enough about how great Chef's Choice was! Not only were they our cheapest option, but they really worked with our various dietary restrictions and came up with a great menu. Our guests still rave to this day about the food! The ...
staff brought us and the wedding party appetizers while we relaxed before our grand entrance at the reception. The staff also was very attentive to my husband and I through out the reception, even helping me bustle my dress and giving us a to go box of food! Choosing them was one of our best decisions.
Clean up must have not been too bad, because I think our wedding guests cleared their plates, and we did too! Chef’s Choice appetizers and entrees were perfect, and we even had “steak snobs” who said that their filet was one of the best steaks...
they ever had. Not only was the food good, but the service by the Chef’s Choice team was perfect: the set up was beautiful, the appetizers were perfect for cocktail hour, and bonus, the bride and groom received their own appetizer plate at their table! It was a relief that so many people enjoyed the food, because I often feel like the food that’s served at a wedding is a “given”, whereas this was a highlight for us and our wedding guests! The perfect food fueled a night of dancing, and made the overall day even better!
Chef's Choice was absolutely AMAZING. My husband and I had to plan our wedding from a distance, but Chef's Choice made this so easy. Allison was SO responsive to every email. She was willing to let our mothers come for a full tasting AND let us...
have our own tasting later in the month. The price was on point and they were very accommodating with letting us try many different options.
But most importantly- THEIR FOOD IS AMAZING. My dad is very particular about how beef tenderloin is prepared and he was FLOORED by how delicious the meat was. I sampled 3 of Cincinnati's "top caterers" beef tenderloin, and theirs was hands down the best. AND they were able to make it taste that same way for a large crowd of 190 guests! Very impressive. The vegetable sides, mashed potatoes, chicken, salad, rolls were also delicious!
As far as the wedding day- the staff was AMAZING. I was extremely impressed by their professionalism and willingness to make our day perfect. The rumor is "you don't eat on your wedding day".....well they helped me beat the odds on that! During the cocktail hour the catering staff found me and my husband with signature drinks and plates full of our passed appetizers. My husband and I never went to the bar once (they were constantly making sure our cups were full), and they walked to the buffet line with us and served us our dinners. Even during my dad's toast- I knocked his champagne on the ground by accident, and when he got back to his seat there was a full glass waiting :) The guests said the bartenders did an amazing job and it was the best wedding food they've ever had. Additionally, the catering staff was literally on their hands and knees ensuring the dance floor remained dry and did not get sticky from spilled drinks!!!! At the end of the night the entire staff was waiting in the back and I personally thanked them all for doing such an amazing job. Everyone was extremely impressed by their professionalism & the service was above and beyond. Thank you Chef's Choice for making our wedding day PERFECT!
Chef's Choice is absolutely AMAZING! Kristie was a pleasure to work with the entire planning process. During our reception, their whole entire staff team was on it! They made sure myself, my husband, and the rest of the bridal party got plen...
ty of appetizers when we arrived and were extremely attentive to us the entire time. We also had a coldstone ice cream buffet (use Newport location) and they manned the station the entire night. I felt like Chef's Choice was my event planner once the reception started. Last thing, their prices cannot be beat and the food is amazing! We received endless compliments about the food and how it was the best our guests have ever had. We went with the salmon and filet paired plate and I wouldn't have changed a thing!
Chef's choice was SO great for our wedding! Kristie was extremely responsive and helpful in picking our menu and running through different pricing options. They can make any menu vision come to life at a price that can't be beat, so don't be af...
raid to ask if you want something specific. I loved that they sent me the full quote from day one with all charges laid out clearly- no hidden fees at all! We went to a private and group tasting, all free of charge which was amazing. The food is also fantastic- all of our guests could not stop talking about it. Chef's choice staff during our wedding went above and beyond!! Honestly, we could not believe how awesome they were. They kept checking in with us (bride and groom) to see if we needed any more food or drink refills or anything else. They also brought two trays of appetizers to the ceremony space while we took pictures so the wedding party could have some! The main lady in charge of the catering at our wedding told me that it was her anniversary and that she was so happy to be at a wedding while her husband was away- she was one of the best things about our day! I could not recommend this company enough! You will not be disappointed!
We chose Chef’s Choice Catering as they were one of the preferred vendors through our venue and they were one of the most affordable options. Initially, I had some issues with a lack in responsiveness and I was very concerned as we were off to ...
a rough start after paying our deposit and booking. As the planning process went on our representative, Kristie, became more responsive and helpful but we did have a few hiccups along the way. Communication issues persisted throughout the process but significantly improved as we got closer to our wedding date (about 4-5 months out). Kristie did go out of her way to ensure that we had the plastic dishes that we wanted to save costs and that was very much appreciated!
Our wedding day went smoothly and the food was AMAZING! The team even put together a beautiful Pinterest-inspired cupcake display and it turned out exactly as I wanted it to look. Our guests were impressed with the food, especially the short rib!
Overall, the food was great and the planning process was okay. I would’ve been more at ease if the communication and responsiveness would have been better throughout the entire process, not just the last few months. I would recommend Chef’s Choice Catering!
They were nothing short of amazing for our reception. Kristie was extremely helpful planning our menu. She was quick to answer my many emails and numerous questions. Our guests raved about how good the food was (especially the pretzel crusted c...
hicken - we highly recommend it)!! If you pick Chef's Choice, you won't be disappointed!
Chef's Choice did an EXCELLENT job with our wedding catering.
Our manager, Allison, did an excellent job. She was extremely responsive and flexible, and did everything in her power to make sure the wedding day went smoothly.
The food was also...
amazing -- our guests were commenting on how good the food was. The cost for our food was very reasonable.
Chef's Choice was also flexible in allowing us to bring our own alcohol (and their licensed bartenders served it for us). As a microbrew family, this was a huge plus.
The catering staff went above and beyond, helping to clean up after the reception WAY beyond what they were required to do. We had such a fantastic experience. I would go out of my way to recommend Allison and her team to any couple!

Thank you Chef’s Choice for the wonderful food and service for my daughter’s wedding in July. We knew at the tasting we made the right choice! They were so easy to work with. I heard from many - “It was the best wedding food I’ve ever had!” ...
Kristie was great to work with throughout. And during our event, she and the staff were so professional, friendly and attentive. Thanks again!
I grew up with a mother in purchasing, and one thing she always warned me about was "be wary the low bid". So, let's just say, when we got a quote from Chef's Choice for a seated dinner with appetizers that was THOUSANDS less than the competit...
ors, I was extremely wary. We set up a tasting anyway, and I did not look back since. The food at each tasting we went to (we went to 3) was exceptional. Two of those tastings were actually open tastings at event centers where you could try the food as it would be cooked at the wedding. Those were even better than the initial meeting at their office. In fact, our last tasting was actually at our reception site, and that really allowed us to know what the food would taste like on our wedding day. Chef's Choice was extremely accommodating to our requests - whether that be special salads for food allergies, or even making up new appetizer recipes for us. Yes, they did that, and they rocked. We have had countless people tell us that our wedding had the best food they've ever had at a wedding. My new brother in law actually said it was the best steak he's ever had. The service was also exceptional, no one was ever wanting for something they didn't have, and the server for the sweetheart table was exceptionally sweet and attentive (she even brought me drinks from the bar). I cannot recommend Chef's Choice enough - they are the best caterer I have experienced in Cincinnati. Word to the wise: try the maple bacon, you won't regret it.
Jill and her staff made the most amazing wedding dinner for us!!! From our tasting to our wedding day Jill kept in contact with us, had a walk through with us and answers all of our questions! I am going to us Chef's Choice for my next catering...

We chose Chef's Choice out of 3 options for caterers offered to us through our venue. We were told by out wedding coordinator that they had good food at the most reasonable price of the 3 options, and they definitely did not disappoint. They ha...
d a huge variety of choices for everything, and were able to accommodate our needs for a mostly-vegetarian menu on a fairly limited budget. The food was delicious, and for about 60 people, the price seemed very spot-on. They provided the table linens and were able to match our napkin color to our chosen wedding colors very well, and all of the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Chef's Choice is amazing! We worked with Jill for over a year and a half on what we wanted for our wedding. We were able to attend an open house Chef's Choice was hosting and tried a number of different appetizers, main courses, and sides! I...
t was great to get the variety and we were able to decide on the menu for our wedding! The Chef's Choice staff was amazing at our reception, cleaning up and making sure everyone had what they needed. We could not have asked for better service or a better caterer.
Chef Choice was my favorite vendor. They were super helpful with all of my questions and let me make last minute changes the day before the wedding. The food was excellent! I would recommend them to any bride!
Chef's Choice was so easy to work with. Kristie was great and able to provide different quotes based on different menu ideas. She was very timely with responses. She also helped finish off the last minute details that I hadn't even thought of. ...
I can't say enough positive things about the service I received.
And the food was OUTSTANDING! We had a buffet and everything we had was delicious and our guests agreed. I didn't know we were getting a butler service as the bride and groom, but that was a pleasant surprise. The staff was very accommodating and pleasant and friendly and professional and they really helped make the evening so special. I would recommend them to anyone. I think they were also very reasonably priced compared to other caterers we looked at.
The lady who helped us with ordering was not helpful when it came to figuring out what we needed. I had a dessert reception. She kept trying to get us to do dinner or order more food because she said we would run out. Because she kept pressurin...
g us, we added to our order. We ended up have a TON of leftovers. They never followed up with us after the wedding. It was an extremely stressful experience.
Look no further if you want delicious food, impeccable service and a great value for your wedding reception! From the moment I first spoke with Drew to the extremely delicious dinner service at our reception, our entire experience with Chef's ...
Choice was flawless. The night of our wedding Jill and the entire service staff made sure everything was perfect for us. Our guests raved about the quality and variety of our food! Chef's Choice made wonderful recommendations, accommodated all of our dietary requests and provided an amazing dining experience for our guests and the bridal party. Chef's Choice is a fantastic value and a fantastic vendor. They can make your culinary wishes come true!
The food was delectable. The staff was accommidating and efficient, friendly and prompt.
They were absolutely amazing! With lots of things changing at the last minute, they didn't blink an eye. I mostly had contact with Jill Masters, and every time I emailed her, holding my breath and hoping she wouldn't be upset for a last minut...
e change, she was nothing but accommodating - and even reminding me to not worry about it so much :) When we got there, everything went perfectly. Setup went smoothly even with coordination problems with our facility. They served our food quickly and smoothly, and even served our cake without a blink of an eye when our designated cake-cutter had a last minute emergency and couldn't be there. And when the guests left, they had the place cleaned up amazingly fast - within an hour of the guests leaving. They packed up our cake and food, sorted it for us, and worked with the lodge workers to make sure cleanup was done correctly. We couldn't have asked for a better caterer. Know that if you choose them, you will be in VERY good hands. I can't recommend them highly enough :)
I was very impressed with the caterer. They went out of their way to help. The servers carried my plate for me and filled it so I wouldn't get my dress dirty. Everything looked and tasted good. There were lots of compliments.
I have been married now for over a month and everyone is still talking about my food. It was AMAZING! The presentation was gorgeous, the food was to die for and the service was flawless! I would reccomend them to anyone! Definitely call and...

We hired Chefs Choice Catering to cater our wedding in Fort Thomas, KY. Jill Masters worked with us on every detail, helping us pick out the menu, figuring out the best location and even helping us with our overall timing. Chefs Choice made our...
buffet line and appetizer table look great! We were so happy with the presentation and then the food was even better. We are still getting compliments on how delicious the food was for our event. The servers couldn't have been more attentive and professional. Chefs Choice really made our reception memorable and tasty too! We highly recommend Chefs Choice to anyone looking for a delicious caterer at an affordable price in the Northern KY/Cincinnati area. They were outstanding!
I had a really challenging venue that didn't have a catering available. These guys were amazing! I worked with Jill Masters through the planning process and from set-up to execution they were professional and the food amazing!
We had cock...
tail reception and the presentation was lovely, bartenders and a plated dinner on china. The food was yummy and I had more than a handful of people mention that the service was amazing.
I would not have changed anything and know that they worked hard from the moment they arrived until the moment they left. It was a great event!
The girl I worked with was less than thrilled to help and it felt like I was burdening her.
When we went for the tasting, the food was amazing. However, for the wedding, the food was lacking. The beef was nothing like the tasting and the fo...
od not very warm. Lastly, the china we had rented was supposed to be ivory and they brought white. Overall, very disappointed.
I was very pleased with Chef's Choice. I even had someone tell me that it was the best meal she's ever had at a wedding.
We were fortunate to work with Chef's Choice to cater our champagne brunch wedding reception. At our initial tasting meeting the chef really seemed to care about the food and making sure that everything was unique and of the highest quality. We...
felt like they were listening to our ideas and let us guide the menu, whereas some caterers we interviewed seemed to ignore our suggestions and go with their own agenda. Our contact Lauren was pleasant to work with and patient with our many questions. She was so professional and we knew that everything would go well with her supervision. The catering staff at our reception were friendly and fun - they paid a lot of attention to us and made sure that we were taken care of. The food was exactly what we had envisioned and our guests were all impressed. You can't go wrong with this vendor- they'll make sure that your day is perfect!
Chef's Choice Catering was amazing at our wedding. First of all, contacting the company was easy. They made accommodations so we could take the food home to taste since our work schedules didn't permit us to come during normal hours. The foo...

Chef's Choice did a great job on the food for my wedding reception. Erin was the person who we worked with and she was great. She even came to the reception to make sure everything was going well. The appetizer table was set up beautifully and ...
professionally. The meal was excellent. The roast beef was perfection! All of our choices were hot and tasty and we had plenty of food. All of our guests complimented us on the food. And many asked us where they could get the roast beef from! The service staff were nothing but kind and helpful. They offerred to get drinks for the bridal party all night. I would highly recommend Chef's Choice to anyone!
We chose Chef's Choice for our daughters reception and we were very impressed. The food was delicious, hot and well prepared. The staff was wonderful with our guests and very attentive. I met Erin H. at a bridal show and she was great. Erin was...
thorough, attentive and helped me through all the choices and decisions. I could not have asked for a better result from our caterer. I am very appreciate of the professionalism and quality we received from Chef's Choice.
This is Kroger's Catering Company, but they are very professional and friendly. I would have liked more meat options that weren't drowned in gravy, but everyone I talked to really enjoyed the food.
The food was delicious but more importantly the catering crew was very friendly and super helpful.
