I got married at the Greenpoint Loft in October of 2024. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Creative Foods Catering! From the moment we first reached out, Michelle and Mehmet provided exceptional service, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Mehmet came over to our apartment in Brooklyn for a menu tasting and the experience was something we will never forget. It was like having your own private chef for a "date night" at home. Highly recommend doing this if you can! Their attention to detail, creativity, and genuine care for our vision truly set them apart. Michelle and Mehmet worked closely with us to craft a menu that perfectly reflected our tastes and accommodated all of our guests' dietary needs. Michelle was so incredibly helpful when it came to ordering our rentals. She spent so much time answering my questions and made my vision come to life! They are a dream team. On the wedding day, they exceeded our expectations in every way. They showed up on-time and had setup complete before the first guest arrived. Mehmet brought us champagne after our "first look" to help with our nerves before the ceremony. The food was absolutely incredible—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Our guests raved about it all night! The service was equally exceptional. During cocktail hour, we never had to wait for a drink; their staff was attentive and ensured everyone was taken care of. They even set aside a serving of all of the passed hors d'oeuvres for my husband and I and our signature cocktails so we could enjoy them after the ceremony before we joined the rest of our guests (and to ensure we got to try everything because cocktail hour can be very demanding of the bride and groom) During dinner, drinks were brought directly to the tables, so our guests didn’t have to get up, and their attentiveness throughout the night was remarkable.If you're looking for a catering team that combines impeccable food with outstanding service, look no further than Creative Foods Catering. Michelle and Mehmet, thank you for making our special day even more unforgettable! We seriously couldn't have dreamt of a better catering team to work with, 5 stars!!!!!

I can’t express how lucky we feel to have had Creative Foods cater our magical wedding. We originally thought we’d missed them, since when I first inquired they had another event on our date - but Michelle and Mehmet were willing to split up and do two events in one night to accommodate us. We appreciated this so much! The food was absolutely outstanding and so plentiful. Creative Foods offers so many more choices than the other caterers we inquired with, at a very reasonable price for NYC. Our guests raved about the food, and everything was prepared perfectly! One of the highlights for us was the included tasting - we did this in May before our October wedding, and Mehmet came to our apartment and cooked all of our chosen menu items for us to try. It felt like having a private chef, and we so appreciated getting to try everything since in the whirlwind of the wedding day we didn’t always take the time to eat! Communicating with Michelle and Mehmet in the lead-up to the wedding was a dream as well. They were so responsive, helpful, and receptive to our many requests. Overall, we had an incredible experience with Creative Foods and I can’t recommend them enough. Thanks for making our day so special (and delicious)!

Mehmet and Michelle were the perfect caterers for our wedding day and are both so lovely to work with! Both were communicative and easy to work with and their food was great. I’ve heard from multiple guests raving about the food, specifically the cocktail hour food. The sliders from cocktail hour were a hit and were the best sliders some of our guests have ever had! I have allergies, and they made sure to make all the food very accessible to anyone with allergies and prepped me a plate of cocktail hour food (I wish I could have eaten it all, but bride duties called :). Michelle and Mehmet’s team is very professional, organized, and talented! They were an integral part of our day and made it seamless. Thank you for everything, Mehmet and Michelle!

Mehmet, Michelle and their entire team provided such a wonderful professional wedding experience. From attentive staff to the most delicious food, and seamless planning process I cannot recommend them enough.

I cannot say enough about this team. Mehmet and Michelle are so lovely to work with, and their food is SO GOOD. People are still raving about how good the food was - I wish we could eat their food every day. The assorted desserts in particular were a huge hit - people are still texting us about them. This team is supremely professional, organized, warm, and talented. I cannot recommend them enough - they were an integral part of our special day. Thank you Mehmet & Michelle!!!

Mehmet and Michelle are a power couple! Not only did they help us with accomplishing our vision of a cocktail style reception, but they did so with confidence and wonderful food. The pistachio crusted lamb chops and coconut shrimp were my personal favorites. I could not recommend this team enough—all of our guests raved about their service!

The Creative Foods Catering team was an absolute pleasure to work with, and did a fantastic job at our wedding in May 2024. From the onset, we were super comfortable working with them, who were so organized and communicative that we ended up with truly our dream wedding (and we're people who really value both an event running smoothly and the warmth that it can create!) A few months in advance, Creative Foods actually came over to our apartment in NYC to do a "taste test" which felt like a truly luxurious experience (they prepared our lineup of meal selections and we got to try everything from appetizers, to mains, to desserts). On the day of the wedding, we never even had to think about the schedule, as the team was always ten steps ahead and thought of everything!! Delicious food and professional team!!

Mehmet and Michelle were wonderful to work with - from the initial tasting, to rentals, and the actual wedding! The food was exceptional and all the guests raved about it. The service was top notch, and we were constantly asked if we needed anything. Mehmet and the catering staff always made sure we as the couple had food and drinks. Everything was professional, smooth, and delicious. I could not recommend Creative Foods enough!

Mehmet & Michelle were the most amazing vendors and our very special day was made all the more special by their food. Everyone continues to rave about not only the tastiness, but the service weeks later. It was definitely the best wedding I have ever been to and Creative Foods was 100% a key reason for that. And Mehmet, particularly, was an absolute joy to have around. He took care to make sure we always had food set aside and that servers would find us to ask if we needed anything (if he wasn’t doing that personally). It was an incredible burden lifted off and we definitely were not too distracted to enjoy all the delicious nibbles brought by or left for us at our table. We had the most amazing night and cannot thank them enough for all that was contributed to it. But I’ll do my best by saying: Thank you, we appreciate you so deeply, and feel that this event was made into the most magical evening thanks to you and your team. We love Creative Foods Catering!!!

Everyone was raving about the food at our wedding! Mehmet, Michelle, and their staff were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They went above and beyond to make sure us and our guests were taken care of. They came to our apartment for a pre wedding tasting, which we really appreciated. Would definitely recommend this vendor to family and friends!

Creative foods catering exceeded all of our expectations. Working with Mehmat was an absolute pleasure as he was extremely professional, easy to work with, and curated our menu perfectly. My husband and I are huge foodies, so having a good caterer and delicious food was one of our top priorities in our wedding planning process. From the passed apps and the food stations at cocktail hour, to the three course meal they beautifully presented for dinner, we had endless people RAVE about the food stating comments as bold as "this is the best meal we have ever had of all the weddings we have attended." The service was incredible, efficient and fast and every single dish came out hot and perfectly flavored. Mehat was in attendance the entire night ensuring me and my husband were content and taken care of, as well as all of our guests. This was by far the best decision we could have ever made and we're so happy we decided to use Creative Foods. Not a single bad thing to report back on!

Creative Foods truly exceeded all expectations. The food they prepared for our special day was out of this world! Every bite was a culinary delight, and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the delicious flavors and presentation. From the hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour to the main courses and desserts, Creative Foods showcased their culinary expertise with a diverse and delectable menu. The attention to detail and the quality of the ingredients used were evident in every dish. The catering team’s professionalism and seamless service ensured that our wedding reception ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on enjoying the moment. If you’re looking for a caterer that delivers exceptional food and service, Creative Foods is the way to go!

Book Creative Foods Catering Now! From the very first email we received from Michelle and Mehmet, they made it clear they were the perfect choice for our wedding caterers. They were incredibly responsive, detailed oriented, flexible and kind. Our only challenge with them was figuring out the menu because all of their food was so beyond delicious! Every single one of our guests (including guests with dietary restrictions) raved about all of the food, from cocktail hour to dessert. Everything was tasty, beautifully presented and during cocktail hour food was constantly circulating. The bar was also very well staffed, our guests commented on how quickly they were served and how good the drinks were. Hiring Creative Foods was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. We cannot recommend them enough!

We hired Creative Foods Catering for our wedding and were thankful to have them due to their great professionalism and willingness to craft several tasty, unique vegan dishes for us to have as options on the menu! They were very willing to work with us to improve their vegan entree dish so that myself a vegan bride and my vegan family could enjoy it. People say that you don't eat as a bride and groom, but we were able to eat all night due to their service, and we enjoyed the food very much. We appreciated their attentiveness at our wedding and that they set aside dishes and drinks for us as bride and groom after our ceremony. They had food delivered to us quickly at our sweetheart table and we felt well nourished all night. Finally, considering the price of weddings in NYC we are thankful for Creative Foods existence for us to be able to afford our wedding in our venue of choice. We are thankful they could be part of our day.

Creative Foods Catering was incredible from beginning to end. Mehmet and Michelle are just lovely to work with -- so kind, responsive, helpful, and professional. Their prices are very reasonable, which prompted us to book a tasting with them, and we were blown away by the quality of the food so signed a contract immediately. At our wedding, nearly every plate was clean after dinner and multiple guests commented on how outstanding the food was. Not to mention the service - the Creative Foods team is fantastic. Michelle helped me endlessly during planning with questions about gluten-free meals, beverage selections, etc, etc and the attention to detail was so clear that I wasn't worried at all on the day, and it turned out perfectly. In short, if you're looking for exceptional food and service at the best price you'll find -- book Mehmet and Michelle!

Michelle and Mehmet were amazing to work with from the very beginning! We started with an amazing tasting with Mehmet at out apartment. Everything tasted amazing and he brought everything he needed with him. Then communicating all of the final detail with Michelle was great. She always responded promptly and answered my millions of questions without a problem. Everything ran smoothly during the wedding day. Everyone raved about the food, especially the appetizers and the steak. I would definitely recommend them for your event!

7/16/2023

We hired Creative for our wedding and working with them for the past year has been such a pleasure. Mehmet came to our small apartment for a private tasting, and the food was delicious. Their prices are also extremely reasonable, which is obviously appreciated since planning a wedding is not cheap. Michelle was also very responsive over email whenever we had a question or concern, and directly worked with our day of coordinators to finalize the floor plan for the wedding day. On the actual wedding day, our guests were raving about the food, especially the pistachio lamb chops, the filet mignon, and the dessert shooters! Michelle was also kind enough to set aside a sample of the hors d'oeuvres and spreads for me and my husband at our sweetheart table, as we were too busy running around during cocktail hour to sample them. Creative ran such a tight ship from beginning to end, and the service was absolutely impeccable. Highly recommend.

Creative Foods was our favorite vendor by far. Their timely responses to email, always helpful answers, professionalism and execution were amazing! They accommodated all my requests, paid careful attention to detail, and made our wedding reception so beautiful and delicious. Our guests were all very impressed with the food! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Mehmet and Michelle ! We cannot recommend you both enough!

Here is what it's like to work with Mehmet & Michelle for your wedding. Michelle is extremely communicative, professional, and replies so quickly to make sure we have everything we need. Mehmet came to our apartment and served my husband and I our cocktail dishes, our dinner choices, and our dessert. It was so nice to do a taste testing in our own home and he had even set up the plates in their actual presentation to show you how the guests will see them on the day of. On the actual wedding day, Mehmet went beyond and above as an owner of a catering business. He actually found my husband and I in the stairwell where we were trying to hideout and eat to make sure we were hydrated and having everything we needed (so nice!). Creative foods servers also came to the stairwell and made sure we got to try all the hors d'oeuvres! Most brides have told me they've never got to try most of their food on their own wedding day, but Creative foods made sure we did! Mehmet also made sure to pack us our dinner to make sure we would be able to try everything the day after just incase we couldn't on the day of. Truly IMPECCABLE hospitality and service by Creative Foods Catering. Please look nowhere else for your catering needs, these guys are the real deal! Thank you Mehmet & Michelle for making our wedding day SO special.

Creative Foods Catering is run by a powerhouse couple and was one of the best decisions that I made throughout this process. Michelle is in charge of organization and interfacing before the wedding - she is honestly the most organized person I have met in my life and I have never met someone so quick at responding to emails! Mehmet is in charge of the day-of catering and he is so kind and attentive! They are affordable compared to other NYC area caterers (I honestly couldn't have made the financials for my wedding work without them at the venue I selected) and unbelievably flexible. They are kind and they cater delicious food. Choose them for your wedding!!

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Creative Foods! We used them for our March 2023 wedding and had a five start experience from beginning to end. Mehmet and Michelle were a pleasure to work with in the months leading up to the wedding and were professional, responsive and courteous throughout the process. On our wedding day, the food, service and attention to detail was amazing. Several weeks after our wedding we still have guests raving about the quality of food and service through the evening. We cannot recommend working with Mehmet, Michelle and Creative foods enough!

Creative foods was the best decision we made for our wedding. Everything was absolutely delicious and SEAMLESSLY executed. Michelle/Mehmet are the best duo and we felt so taken care of from beginning to end. I can't express how grateful we were for such an incredible wedding experience. Thank you creative foods!!!

Michelle and Mehmet and their entire team were amazing. We had put off figuring out food and after another planned vendor falling through two months out from the wedding, Creative Foods stepped in quickly to accommodate us. We had guests complimenting us on the food all evening and even after the ceremony. Not to mention, Mehmet was checking in with my partner and I throughout the night and we were able to actually eat the food since they were so accommodating. Definitely happy with our choice. The drink package with signature cocktails was a hit as well. Thank you all again so much!

My now husband and I worked with Creative Foods for our Jan 2023 wedding and could not be happier! Mehmet and Michelle were personal, attentive, and responsive from day one of planning through the days following our special day. Mehmet ensured all of our wants and needs were met- and then some. Thank you so much, Creative Foods, for making our special day so delicious. Cannot recommend you highly enough!

I used to think that all wedding food was mediocre, but that was before I worked with Creative Foods Catering. We worked with Michelle and Mehmet for our wedding and were blown away by their professionalism, attention to detail, and quality of work. They were a dream to work with from day 1 and they provided the most excellent service, food, and dessert, coffee bar, etc. I heard rave reviews from so many guests. I would absolutely work with them again and will be sure to recommend them to anyone who asks.

WOW!!! everything from the food to the service was INCREDIBLE - words can not describe!!! Our guests were left wanting more. Memet & his team were so wonderful, helpful, and a joy to work with - thank you so much for everything on our wedding day - Love, Melissa & Carlos.

I am so happy we used Creative Foods Catering for our 2022 wedding! First and foremost, everyone who works there is so lovely! They were so helpful and communicative through the whole planning process. We had so much fun at our private tasting! And the food options are so wonderful and they are happy to make accommodations where ever they are needed! The day of, the table they put together was beautiful. And the food was incredible! All of our guests commented on how great the food was all night! Affordable and so incredible!

From the very beginning when it came to emailing about pricing and planning our tasting a year before our wedding, all the way to our wedding day, Michelle & Mehmet were absolutely amazing. Our tasting was personal and lovely where they created a private dining experience at their upstate NY location. Throughout the year, they were always patient, detailed and responsive with me (the anxious bride) when I needed to make changes to things or had general questions. The day of our wedding, Mehmet and the entire team were so attentive and helpful, working wonderfully with our day of coordinator. Everyone got their food promptly and not even exaggerating, ALL of our guests could not stop telling me how this was the best food they ever had compared to other weddings they have been to. And they absolutely LOVED our signature cocktails (Manhattan & Strawberry Margarita). Mehmet was also consistently checking in on me and my husband throughout the entire night to make sure we were having fun and everything was running smoothly for us. I cannot recommend Creative Foods Catering more for weddings and just events in general. The food, the staff, the bartending, the set up of our entire space-- everything was so personal and warm. They made our wedding day so magical and it was truly PERFECT. Thank you Michelle & Mehmet!! <3 Jess & Weston

Michelle, Mehmet and the whole team at Creative were a pleasure to work with. They were super responsive during the planning process and so professional. The food they provided was delicious, and we were able to get all of our rentals through them, making it an easy and seamless process. Would absolutely recommend to any couple!

Creative Foods were the best caterers we could have asked for! Not only was the food and service absolutely delicious and amazing, but Michelle's communication and responsiveness was top notch. Michelle and Mehmet were so kind and helpful as we worked to plan, prepare, and ultimately execute the big day. They were so flexible and responsive with our requests and also gave feedback and advice when asked. Our guests truly loved the food and the dessert bar is such a fun and delicious touch! We worked with Creative Foods at The Bordone LIC (a raw space) in which they helped bring our vision to life. On the day of our wedding, there was a heavy downpour right before the ceremony began. Mehmet and his team helped to make sure the ceremony chairs were brought inside and kept dry and then set up right before the guests arrived. They really made our day!

Working with Creative Foods Catering was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process. We booked them for our wedding at The Green Building right as the pandemic unfolded in March 2020 so we did not get a chance to do a tasting then. We ended up postponing our wedding to August 2022 and CFC was so supportive throughout those 2 years. We ended up having our tasting in the spring of 2022 at their beautiful tasting room and had an incredible time. We did end up asking for special changes to the menu to better reflect our culture and they were so flexible and receptive. During the weeks leading up to our wedding, Michelle was incredibly helpful! She communicated so many important details via email and managed our rentals order. On the wedding day, the food was delicious and hot! The CFC team worked very well with our venue and coordinator and the service their staff provided was wonderful! People often underestimate how much the staff can impact the guest experience. All of our guests raved about how great and kind all of the waiters were! Kudos to CFC for providing such amazing food and service! Thank you!!

My husband and I are so thankful we had Creative Foods cater our wedding! Their food and service is impeccable. Mehmet and Michelle were extremely accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process. They are so kind and wonderful to work with. I felt at ease the day of the wedding. I loved all their food selections and the tasting was such a fun experience. The crab cakes and pasta station were my favorites and my guests could not stop raving how amazing our wedding went. The presentation of the food looked so elegant and I loved how they set-up the various stations such as the dessert and cheese/fruit station. They even helped with the set-up of our signature cocktail signs. Their team is fantastic and was so attentive for the day of the wedding. They would always check in with my husband and I to make sure we had food and drinks flowing. We could have not pulled our magical day without them. Thank you Creative Foods for everything! :)

Choosing Creative Foods was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. Every single aspect of working with them was absolutely amazing. Mehmet and Michelle were so attentive to every detail, and accommodated all of our wishes. From the first tasting, which included Mehmet traveling to our apartment and preparing everything in our tiny NYC kitchen, through to the to breakdown the night of the wedding, it was perfect. Coordinating with them was seamless, and they were so responsive through the entire process. The food was absolutely delicious (we had lots of guests tell us it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding!), their staff was incredibly attentive to all of our guests, and they executed our wishes perfectly. I would absolutely recommend Creative Foods to anyone and everyone. It will be the best choice you make in wedding planning!

From the moment we first spoke with Michelle and Mehmet, it was clear that these two knew what they're doing and are pros in wedding catering! The offer a very flexible menu at a great price - our guests absolutely loved the food. The coconut shrimp and tomatoes bruschetta at cocktail hour were crowd favorites and I had guests specifically mention how delicious these were. I also loved being able to add some Asian cuisine with a sushi station as well. Their staff were all extremely friendly, helpful and professional, and made sure my husband I ate between socializing by bringing cocktail hour food to our suite after the ceremony and a dessert plate to our sweetheart table. Our wedding day was so smooth - highly recommend!

Creative Foods catered our wedding on June 10 at Greenpoint Loft and we could not be happier with the food, care and service they provided! Michelle and Mehmet were a pleasure to work with from the very beginning, always responding promptly to our many questions and inquiries. They offered so many options at pretty affordable rates, so we were easily able to compose a menu that really spoke to who we are as a couple, as well as satisfy the different palates of our guests. The day of the wedding, our guests would not stop raving about the food. Everything was delicious (don’t sleep on the pistachio-crusted lamb chops!) and the bartenders and waitstaff were all wonderful, helpful and professional. We highly recommend Creative Foods for any wedding or big event!

Creative Foods was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding. Not only was it the most affordable catering option we looked at by a mile, the food was great. We did a station/extended style cocktail dinner and Mehmet and his team executed our vision flawlessly. They were so responsive and helpful throughout the wedding planning process allowing us to adjust our menus. On our wedding day, they went above and beyond to make sure the day went smoothly and we could actually enjoy our food. Cherry on top, their servers and bartenders were so friendly and attentive. Couldn't recommend more highly!

We could not me more grateful to Mehmet and Michelle Kucuk for making our special day so amazing. They were wonderful to work with since we first met for our tasting. Both helped us stay in our budget without compromising our vision, elegance, food taste and setting. They helped us use AllSeated to design our wedding and food/seating accommodations for each of our guests. Our guest loved them. They were so easy to communicate with and during the wedding they pleasingly surprised us several times (like when Mehmet placed the spotlight for the pictures when we cut the cake). Truly they were on top of every detail. We loved that they were constantly checking on the bride and groom needs. Food was beautifully decorated, delicious and abundant. Would blindly recommend to work with them and, hopefully we get to work with them again. Thank you Mehmet & Michelle.

We booked Creative Food Catering at the onset of the pandemic without ever trying their food. Their reviews were great so we took a leap of faith, and we are so glad we did it. We selected most of their Mediterranean choices, many of which are literal family recipes. It was such a unique menu -- definitely not your run-of-the-mill catering company! Even weeks later our guests are still raving about the food. Michelle was amazing to work with -- always responsive, accommodating and so friendly. She also helped us secure a few other vendors, and her recommendations were top notch. They are a full service catering company so that made things easier on us during the planning process. Their staff was attentive and checked on us so many times throughout the night - ensuring that we also got to enjoy our special day. We'd give them 10 stars if we could.

Creative Foods is the absolute best! Mehmet and Michelle are super responsive and went above and beyond to make our wedding amazing. We hired them just 8 weeks before our wedding when our original caterer fell through, and it was the best decision ever. The food is delicious and the staff is outstanding! All of our guests kept saying how it was the best wedding food they’ve had. Hire Creative Foods!!!

It was such a pleasure working with the Creative team for our wedding at The Green Building. We worked closely with Michelle on the menu and rentals. She made the process super easy and helped guide us to make sure every last detail was considered. Our wedding was postponed a couple times due to covid, so we really appreciated the team's close communication and flexibility throughout. The day-of went smoothly with Mehmet and Kate running the show. The food came out better and more delicious than we had sampled or even imagined. We received compliments from our guests -- the coconut shrimp, bistro steak and mushrooms were big hits. We struck gold working with the Creative team and can't thank them enough for making our day extra special.

We cannot recommend Creative Foods highly enough. You should definitely hire them for your wedding! First of all, the food is delicious! They have excellent menu options and people are still raving about the slider station during cocktail hour. Also, the cheesecake bites — chef’s kiss! They are incredible professionals who know how to plan and execute beautiful events. When we started planning, we had no idea how much of the event work the caterers are actually responsible for — basically everything. We’re so glad we entrusted our event to Creative Foods. Set up and clean up and service and everything was perfect. They were also very flexible when we had to push it back a year due to the pandemic. And, last, but certainly not least, they are very affordable. They were the best quote by far and we’re so glad we went with them!

Mehmet, Michelle, and their team are the best around and we would recommend Creative Foods Catering to anyone and everyone. From the beginning, we were very pleased with their responsiveness and their help with choosing a menu that would work well for our wedding reception – including an Italian food station and a Polish food station during our cocktail hour. When we had to reschedule our reception multiple times, they were flexible and supportive which meant everything to us. When we finally were able to celebrate our reception in November 2021, we knew it would be a great night but WOW – the food, the drinks and the service were amazing and we received so many compliments from our guests. Some favorites were the mushroom ravioli, the mac and cheese shooters, and the mini cheesecake bites. We are so appreciative to the Creative Foods team and couldn’t have hoped for anything more!

WOW! Let me tell you about Creative Foods... We decided on them as our caterer for our wedding in NYC last month, and they were AMAZING. First of all, Mehmet came to our apartment and served us a personalized menu tasting. Our fourth-floor, walk-up, tiny-oven apartment on the Upper West Side. That's above and beyond in itself -- and the food was excellent! We signed with them that night, and ended up having absolutely no regrets. Michelle was very communicative and helpful every step of the way, and especially when we had a last minute scare with the seating arrangement. On the day, they delivered every course and station as planned, and everything was delicious. Almost everyone we talked to specifically told us how good the food was! Diverse menu, quality food, excellent service, wonderful people. We can not endorse Creative more highly!

When it comes to our family and weddings, good food and plenty of quality drink is NECESSARY and Michelle and Mehmet 100% provided just that for our family and friends. Wedding costs quickly rack up, and Creative Foods is the only caterer out there that provided us quality premium meals and open bar, catered to our likes/needs without breaking the bank. Our event space (620 Loft & Garden) in NYC can be challenging when it comes to space and large furniture rentals (ie my beloved farmers tables), but somehow Michelle & Mehmet made transforming our event space from ceremony to reception a breeze. Our families till this day still rave about the wonderful food, drinks, desserts, and above all service they received. They're the true 5 star deal!

Michelle and Mehmet were absolutely incredible every step of the way. We wanted an "extended cocktail hour" style dinner for our wedding, not a sit-down, and they helped us craft the perfect menu. They gave us an intimate tasting and everything we tried was fantastic! At first we were going to bring in dessert from another vendor, but they wisely let us try their mini cheesecakes and shooters and we were immediately convinced we should serve their dessert. On the day of, Kate was our point person and she was friendly, accommodating, and on top of everything. She even set aside leftovers for us and had someone grab them for us when we accidentally left them behind. The bartenders were masterful and made sure nobody went thirsty. Our guests all RAVED about how delicious the food was and how nice the staff were. Creative Foods Catering will make your wildest dreams come true!

Michelle and Mahmet were absolutely amazing to work with!!! They are thorough, kind, friendly, and most importantly talented! Their food is delicious and their service is professional and warm. Leading up to the wedding, both Michelle and Mahmet were very accommodating to all of our changing details. On the day of, Mahmet was just simply the best. He was always so friendly and warm with us, and we felt very at ease having him guide us through the evening. Highly recommend CFC for your catering needs. They really are the best!

We enjoyed working with Mehmet and Michelle at Creative Foods through planning and re-planning our wedding amongst COVID. Mehmet was an absolute joy to work with from the tasting to the actual day, and since we had worked with each other for so long due to the pandemic when we saw him on our wedding day 2 years later, it was like seeing and being treated like a friend. The food was delicious and the service was amazing as even the staff seemed to be happy to be there. I highly recommend Creative Foods, thank you for making our day so special!

We were very grateful to have Mehmet and Michelle as our caterers for our wedding, as they made planning the meals as simple as possible. Mehmet came to our Brooklyn apartment to do a tasting, they stayed with us for two years while we postponed our date due to the pandemic, and provided last-minute rentals. During the wedding itself everyone raved about the food. Michelle handled communication and responded extremely quickly and also helped make adjustments to the floor plan to maximize space and guest access to the bar. Mehmet checked on us during the wedding to make sure we were happy with our food and walk us through the cake cutting. They also provided kids' meals for our nieces.

Mehmet and Michelle were so amazing to work with. They were responsive, and accommodating to every little question and request I could think of, I could not have asked for better caterers. Food was great and the guests were all pleased! Couldn't be happier.

Mehmet and Michelle with Creative Foods are the catering dynamic duo that you NEED to book for your next event! They are both extremely professional and very quick to respond to all questions and emails. Not to mention their rates are very reasonable! Our wedding venue was the type of space which we needed to rent linens, flatware, china, etc. Michelle communicated with the rental company to coordinate everything and was able to easily adjust any changes we had along the way. The process was very seamless. We also received so many compliments on the food on the day of the wedding! The desserts were the biggest hit of the night! Everyone was raving about the dessert shooters, mini cheesecakes, and especially the churros. Don’t hesitate and book Creative Foods!

Where do I begin! Let's start with the tasting. We were looking around for catering for our wedding and stumbled across Creative Foods Catering and Mehmet blew us out of the water with how amazing the food was. We also felt very comfortable knowing that they have so much experience with weddings in the NY area. We were getting married at the Green Building in Brooklyn and he assured us he had catered this venue numerous times. We just left with an enormous amount of confidence that our day would go smoothly catering wise if we stuck with Creative. Fast forward a year or so and the wedding was approaching. We worked primarily with Michelle on the planning of all the details. She was just amazing and so responsive. We worked everything out and they did a fantastic job. Everyone complimented the food and Mehmet and his team also made sure we (the couple) were taken care of throughout the wedding by stopping in with us to check in at various points. Hire them for your wedding- you will not regret it :)

Mehmet and Michelle were both a joy to work with throughout our wedding process. We had many calls/ emails and everything was very organized. Michelle is very responsive over email and answers any and all questions with professionalism and enthusiasm. Highly recommend Creative Foods Catering as all of our guests loved cocktail hour, dinner entrees and the desserts at our wedding at The Foundry. We couldn't have done it without them. Highly recommended! P.S. You can also have preview their catering as Mehmet prepares all of the yummy food for you to try prior to signing your contract.

Mehmet & the team are the absolute BEST! Our wedding day went so smoothly because of them, and we were so beyond happy with the food and service that they provided. The guests were raving about the food and even said the beef was one of the best that they've ever had! Mehmet is professional, calm (just what I personally needed) and so kind. My husband and I are so lucky to have found Creative Foods Catering and cannot thank them enough for all their help. Mehmet was able to coordinate, cater and direct the entire day (which includes staff + food + rentals) and it gave us a sense of relief. Trust me, you will not regret hiring this amazing team. Highly recommend!

You know a caterer is good when you have their food at a friend's wedding and just know you have to hire them for yours years later! Working with Michelle and Mehmet was so easy, I couldn't have ask for a better team. They are extremely professional and easy to talk to. Michelle answered all of my constant questions during the planning process and Mehmet made me feel so at ease on the day of the wedding. Not only was the food great (especially their signature dessert shooters), but they also took care of so many logistics for us, including serving our own alcohol. Many caterers probably wouldn't be so accommodating. Thank you, Creative team!!

Mehmet and Michelle were so amazing to work with! They were extremely flexible and easy to work with, especially between rescheduling our wedding multiple times, changing venues, and eventually downsizing. Not only did they provide the food, but they also helped with other elements of our wedding such as decor, rentals, staffing, floorplans and more. On the day of the wedding, Mehmet was so attentive and made sure that my husband and I had food and drinks all night! Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was and how amazing the staff was. I highly recommend Creative Foods Catering, they are true professionals!

Due to COVID mandated changes my husband and I had to reduce our wedding guest list to 10-15 people from 50 guests; 2 weeks before our wedding date. We had hired Creative Foods Catering to cater our reception and cocktail hour. We had made 2 down payments with one left to go before we decided to postpone the cocktail hour and reception. Michelle at Creative Food Catering was very understanding and gave us a full refund of the monies paid. She was pleasant and professional during our interactions prior to and after we postponed our reception and cocktail hour. My husband and I will definitely be working with Creative Foods Catering in the future when we are able to have our Reception.
