Culinary Art Catering

econds, and people RAVED about our late night snack. You can never go wrong with chicken & waffles! I would recommend them over and over again!

ent lead" [my wording] on sight to oversee everything. It made me feel like I had nothing to worry about or micro-manage.

with the food. We had so many people tell us how great the food was! Seriously, everything we had was so good! The “Potini” (mashed potatoes in a martini glass) were a huge hit! Also, we chose to have food stations. The presentation of each station was something I was worried about, but everything was set up very nicely and looked super elegant just like I imagined! All of the staff from start to finish are really friendly. (Annie is so helpful and so nice)! We were really impressed at all the smiling faces and polite manners from the staff. All the employees whether it’s in the office or the serving staff all seem to enjoy their jobs and it shows! I highly recommend Culinary Art Catering!

s delicious and all our guests commented on how hot, fresh and tasty it was! You can't go wrong with Culinary Art Catering!

about how wonderfully delicious everything was! ** I even spilled red wine on my wedding dress, and the servers came over to me with club soda & removed the stain instantly. Such great service. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! **

venue all the time. They let us come in for a private tasting and it was so fun. We got to pick a bunch of different food options from the package we were looking at and the food was wonderful! Annie was very patient and helpful with my many phone calls and questions. She would send me an updated contract as a follow up to our phone calls so I could see she was adding notes from our discussions for their staff. Choose the brisket tacos! We ordered extra and requested they bring them specifically to us after we did our pictures. Everything tasted great the day of - no complaints!

aurant catered as some of our guests wanted to visit there. The entire staff was organized which contributed to the overall success and satisfaction of dinner, cake serving, and bar service. After we cut our cake they swooped right in and started cutting and serving our guests. We would highly recommend them without a doubt.

that had dietary concerns. We did have one issue during the wedding but after we addressed it with them the quickly fixed everything to our satisfaction. I never expect perfection but they did everything to make it perfect for us. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for an quality catering company.

The food was amazing and we got many compliments on it! Couldnt be happier that we went with CAC

er with our selection of Culinary Art Catering. From my first contact for a quote, to the many changes before the big day, to the wonderful food at the wedding - their staff was professional, friendly and very accommodating during the entire process.

etting of the tables beautiful. I highly recommend this caterer!

ays full and they always had a beer ready for Josh; they even brought us our own plate of hors d'oeurves while we took post ceremony photos! The client services team and our event manager were also responsive and helpful during the entire planning process. They answered all questions big and small, and the tasting open house was SUPER helpful so be sure and go if you can! We took my now in-laws and it was great to have multiple opinions. Culinary Art catering also had the hit idea for a separate kids' buffet since we had around 25 kids on the guest list. Their parents really enjoyed getting to relax and get a drink while knowing the kids were able to serve themselves from their favorite food choices. Lastly, they handled all the food allergies with ease and never made us feel like a burden. I have a highly severe nut allergy and several family members that are gluten free, as well as two with multiple allergies. Their response when I let them know all of this was "No problem," and they made special plates for each guest that was specific to their needs. And those guests told me specifically how great their plates were, so they did not at all feel they were missing out from the regular menu. Our cake baker made a few batches of gluten free cupcakes, and Culinary Art catering was so careful to keep them separate all night. I was never worried that a mix up would happen for an adult or child guest.

e Fried mac n cheese, and the chicken in waffle cones! Highly recommended, yes they are pricey but worth every damn dime! The desserts were even better then dinner, couldn’t eat enough. And as the bride I actually made time to eat!

the chicken we received was a completely different entree. Thankfully they offered me a filet in replace of it. We were very disappointed & we were really looking forward to that dinner. My husband felt the same way but ended up eating his anyway. Aside from that, everyone made sure I had my wine & continued to check on us! Everything else was great.

reat and they really worked with us a lot to make sure our rentals were just right, our menu was perfect, and every detail was worked out for the day of timeline! After Melissa left we worked mainly with Chelsey who was also outstanding! The transition from Melissa to Chelsey was seamless and we never felt that any details were passed over do the the change! We loved Chelsey! I spoke with her in the final steps leading up to our wedding day. I never got to meet her on our wedding day unfortunately but my coordinator and several family members did and they had nothing but good things to say of her! My coordinator was SERIOUSLY impressed with her. She was on top of everything food and bar related on the wedding day apparently. Everything went so smoothly I could not be happier! Thank you Chelsey and Culinary Art Staff for everything! Yall were amazing! Also…the food is AMAZING! I had so many people talking about how unique the hors d'oeuvres were and how great our Italian food buffet was! They were also able to accommodate our vegetarian and GF friends and family easily! So great! Would recommend to anyone!

I highly reccomend Culinary Catering. They made everything so easy from start to finish and you can trust the food will be spectacular and the presentation top knotch. I'm so glad I used Culinary Catering. Thank you for making my wedding a success and a dream come true.

menu and plan. The food was delicious! Many guests came to us, with rave reviews about the food. At the last minute, we had to bring an outdoor wedding ceremony indoors, to the reception room. The CAC staff had to work around the guests, who would have been in another area if the weather had cooperated. The staff were professional and did their job efficiently, under difficult circumstances.

d with our food tastes as well as our budget. Not only is the food incredibly delicious but their presentation is absolutely amazing. They are so fun and easy to work with! Thank you for making our wedding reception a day we will always remember fondly. Melanie and Brian

out first. They were so outstanding and worked within my budget so well that we didn't even feel the need to look elsewhere. Not only was the staff who helped me all throughout my planning process amazing, their food is DELICIOUS!!! I have received so many compliments on how good our wedding food was and how wonderful the service and attendants were. I was so nervous about having some wedding 'lull' or slow time that would stop everyone from getting to the dance floor and that was not the case at all. Culinary Arts got our food out to our guests in record time and with beautiful display! I was SO happy! If I were to do it all over again, I would choose Culinary Arts Catering every time. Thanks again CAC!!!

a dream to work with. She was so quick to respond to my emails and offered great suggestions. I know this has been said in other reviews but seriously get the chicken and waffles as one of you hors d'oeuvres. Your guests will love you!

re that my husband and I always had a drink. They even helped my niece feel like a grown up by providing her with a champagne flute to drink her water from. We did have one hiccup that we know the details for and our coordinator said that there was another one that she would be contacting management over. We had special champagne flutes for our toast. The catering manager put the flutes in a hidden location and then left for the evening. No one on staff at the event could find the glasses. In the end, they were able to contact the manager by phone and find the glasses for our toast. We were a little delayed, but nothing that greatly impacted the night.

ad such a great attitude throughout, and the food and service on the day of were excellent. They are consummate professionals and just good people. They have our highest recommendation.

. It was perfect! The food was outstanding, the venue just beautiful! The ceremony and reception was at the same location which made it very easy for us and our guests. The outdoors was gorgeous and the lighted path, through the trees to the ceremony was amazing! Krista and Amanda made the planning easy and gave great recommendations when needed. They made this a perfect day for my daughter. And, all I had to do was show up! It was the smoothest, organized event I've been too. Please check out Hidden Creek in Heath, TX -- you will love it and the service they provide!

ganized, and delicious than we could have ever imagined. Do not bother talking to any other catering company, this is THE ONE!!

existent. They are great with communicating and responding, accommodating needs, being flexible, and working with our budget. They genuinely cared about not only the food and venue, they cared about each and every guest, and detail. Absolutely fantastic group of people, and a beautiful venue. You can tell they care, and love what they do.

anda. They quickly became like family to us and worked so hard to make everything great! I highly recommend working with them for your next event. You will not regret it!

that I had imagined. Every meeting and communication throughout the process was in keeping with my original instinct about this company...Professional and Friendly <---capital letters are warranted here! Our day-of coordinator, Michelle, was just amazing. She led the team of servers efficiently; but, more than that, she helped to keep all of the wheels turning in getting the ceremony organized and rolling. She was an absolute lifesaver! The food was exceptional! I have attended many catered events. Culinary Arts Catering is at the top of the trees! Every guest commented on the delicious food and excellent wait staff. We could not possibly be happier with the result of having this team help with our daughter's dream wedding. It was a beautiful dream come true!

t and recommend them and The Castle to any bride who wants her dream wedding!

and they are willing to modify whatever to fit your tastes and style and vision for your wedding. Krista Nabors was super helpful and friendly throughout the entire process. I sent an email towards the end of my planning on a Sunday and got an email response back immediately. On a Sunday! And we have gotten some amazing feedback from our guests about the food. Many of the guests have told me that it was the best food that they have ever had at a wedding. So thank you for all of your hard work to help make my wedding better than I could have ever imagined! Would recommend them to anyone looking for a catering group that is flexible, not over-priced and willing to put in 110%!!

the vendors to reach out to us and be a part of the big team to make our night one to remember!

ious, or more helpful, and the floral/decorating team even complimented her and the staff on how great they were to work with, which was the kind of feedback I like to hear. I would absolutely use them again.

ve and flexible during our planning phase. On the wedding I couldn't have been more satisfied and happy with the wait staff! They were so professional, pleasant and just served us and our guests with such care! The food was amazing- the small touches and changes we wanted we were fulfilled without a hassle or issues or surprises on the day. I would 100% refer any bride to Culinary Art Catering to complete her event!  

rked with us on some unique items. We had the greek salad, CAC Signature chicken (amazing), perogies, and 2 pastas. All of the food was very good and we got lots of compliments from both our families. We had our own linens and some cold soft drinks and they help us setup and take down these items, even though the didn't have to. The servers were very professional and attentive. We would definitely use them again.

me) calm, and delivered a great catering experience! I will definitely recommend them again! Thank you for helping make our special day WONDERFUL!

h us and made sure everything was just PERFECT! Every time we went to meet with her everyone was so nice. We got to meet the Chef the day of the tasting and he is so nice and he will make sure you do not stress about the food! We had the Chicken breast with spinach and artichoke, mashed potatoes and vegetables, it was so good! Everyone loved it and was talking about how good dinner was the next day! You can't go wrong with Culinary Art Catering! Thank you for everything!

rista was a DREAM to work with. See was so nice and answered all my questions promptly. On the big day they were punctual and even helped with he setup of my venue and decor! The staff I hired through them were so helpful, nice and attentive. I just cannot say how much I loved working with them. My guests all loved the food too! For a bride looking to not break the bank and have quality food and service, I would recommend Culinary Art Catering ALL DAY.

Everything was wonderful and exactly what I wanted! Unfortunately, the quality was not the same at the actual wedding. I understand that things will not be quite as good when mass produced but I was disappointed by the difference. I did not even like the chicken sliders served and the salad wasn't the same kind that we had agreed on. Overall, the food was mediocre and did not match my tasting or all of the great reviews. Also, while the service staff was overall great and very helpful, the bar tender seemed to be lacking in basic wine knowledge. A guest asked for a petite syrah and she had to point to the label because he didn't know which wine she wanted. Another asked which of the two white wines was sweeter and he couldn't answer, though he did let her taste both. I was just surprised by this since he is a bar tender. Overall, the catering was fine I just expected a bit more for the price.

food! On the afternoon of the wedding, when the venue was running behind schedule for setup, Bethany went above and beyond and jumped right in to help us get everything ready in time. If there were any hiccups in the catering process, they got them worked out before dinner and everything seemed to run smoothly for the guests. We really appreciated their services and would definitely recommend them.

d additional tastings because we could not decide on the final appetizers. Everyone loved our food for our wedding! They fed my husband and I separately which was amazing! They brought the food to us so we could catch a break and eat. They also set aside appetizers for us since my groom didn't get to taste them before the wedding. They always made sure I had a drink and asked me several times if I needed anything. I only had two complaints, overall. First, is that they are fairly pricey but we did ask for a lot. Lol Next, we had one point of contact and she was so good at immediately getting back to me but then that person changed jobs so I changed my point of contact. She was not very prompt with getting what we needed from her but she did better the closer it got to the wedding. Overall, I would recommend them to anyone!! They were awesome and we got so many compliments on the food!!

staff. Everyone was very kind and helpful and very flexible. Before the event itself, they are always willing to answer questions and are very friendly. Also, if you are wanting a full bar, theirs isn't a bad price. One thing I wasn't as fond of was the tastings. They only have a few in the year and you don't necessarily get to try all of the food you are having. During our time between choosing them and the event, I think there were only 2 of these tastings and we could only make one. At the one we went to, there was only one thing from our menu to try. It wasn't a huge deal but would be my one criticism. All of the food as I mentioned was amazing. They were also very flexible in letting you rearrange or mix menus, or change dishes they had. Also, at the event itself, the staff was amazing. They were all very professional and again, helpful. I know I have said it over and over again but I felt they went above and beyond, especially at the event itself. First, we had hors d'oeuvres served and they made sure to set aside plates for the wedding party since we would miss that time. Second, during my wedding, I started not feeling good. The staff was constantly checking on me to see if I needed anything at all. One even offered to go across the street to get me coconut water. Seriously, they were awesome and did everything in their power to make the night perfect. The food like I said was great but the staff was even better. I would certainly recommend them to a friend!

nd groom (us) were served and did not have to wait to eat. I wish my dress was looser so I could've eaten more. It was amazing! If only they had a drive through....

anted. I had to keep my invite list to a minimum because of the price. It was probably the biggest shocker and price issue of my whole wedding. But all food was eaten the day of and there were no complaints! :)

e direction we wanted our food to go in, and he came up with great ideas. At a wedding we attended one month after ours, people were still telling us how great our food was! It was exactly what we wanted. I only wish we had taken more time to enjoy it ourselves!

ent. Despite this transition, Culinary Art handled our event flawlessly. Rebecca picked up right where our old manager left off and never missed a beat. She was quick to respond to any questions I had as the big day approached, which I really appreciated. On the wedding day itself, the Culinary Art staff was on time and set up everything in plenty of time for the cocktail hour and reception. I had picked out a napkin fold that ended up being too big and looking very awkward on the table. Rebecca worked quickly with my mom to come up with a new fold and get all the napkins on the table and looking beautiful without me even knowing there was a problem to stress about! And the food...oh the food was delicious! Everyone told me that brides barely eat at their wedding, but that was not the case with me. Culinary Art brought in several trays of hors d' oeuvres to the bridal party while we were taking pictures post-ceremony so that we got to munch on the tasty treats like all the other guests (which was awesome since the quesadilla trumpets were the food item I had loved the most at our tasting). And when we entered the reception two plates of fajitas were ready and waiting for us. They even had all the fixings on a separate plate on the side for us since my husband is very picky. We were able to chow down before everyone else had even made it through the buffet line and that gave us plenty of time to go around and greet all our guests after we ate. Overall, I was very impressed with the professionalism of Culinary Art and the food was just wonderful. Thank you for making our reception a success!

ivian and Yossi together came up with a selection of hors d'oeuvres, food stations, drink stations and dessert. Our friends were very impressed with the food and with the professionalism of the Culinary Art staff.

ide and groom never get to eat at their own wedding, but these guys made us a plate and made sure we sat down to enjoy it. We had them provide the food, wait staff, some linens, china and a cake stand. We saved some money by providing our own alcohol, but they have many options for that as well depending on your needs. A lot of catering companies won't let you bring in your own alcohol, but they did and provided bartenders for us as well. They worked well with my other vendors to make sure everything went as planned and I didn't have to worry about a thing. If I ever need to plan another big party, I will definitely give Rebecca a call!

't like. People are still raving about their quesadillas, bacon wrapped shrimp, and mashed potato bar....to name a few.

ach table - i cut down on expensive floral centerpieces. By using their hammered copper serving dishes and mini casserole dishes with adorable little handles - I could avoid 2 of my biggest catering pet peeves: 1) typical silver chafing dishes and 2) using martini glasses to serve food from. Once they knew my aversion to those 2 items, they showed me all of their non traditional items that were exactly what i wanted! The Hammered copper chafing dishes actually fit into the decor of the room vs being the eye soar they typically are. And the tiny casserole dishes were absolutely PERFECT to use for the risotto bar at my "farm to market" themed wedding vs. the typical martini glass used as a bowl. They are meticulous with their set-up and service and there food was DELICIOUS! It was a unique and non-traditional menu developed to reflect my husband and I perfectly! Their entire staff was determined to make my wedding beautiful and stress free - from the banquet manager to the bartender - their team was professional and helpful at every step in the process!

aff so quick and seamless you hardly knew they were there. And, of course, the food was incredible. All of our guests couldn't stop talking about how great everything tasted. I will definitely recommend them to anyone I know planning an event. And if there is ever any other reason for us to have catering again, I know who I am going with!

price was affordable, but what really stood out to me was the phenomenal customer service. The chef listened to our needs and made menu suggestions that were beyond our dreams, but within our budget. Vivian, the manager, sent me a proposal after our tasting, and I saw that she made a note about me not eating olives. I didn't tell her that I don't like olives, but she noticed that I picked them out of my salad. Just knowing that she paid attention to small details without me saying anything gave me comfort and sealed the deal. Several of our wedding guests told us how much they liked the food, especially the lasagna. The servers were very courteous, and they did not make a lot of noise that might distract the audience from what was happening.

Plus, the staff was top notch - everyone kept going on about how they never waited for a passed hors d'oeurves or drink, never had to ask for more water, the staff were on top of everything - which is exactly what I wanted for my guests. And finally, I can't say enough about the day-off coordination that Sarah and Catherine provided... they fixed broken stuff, got event space cleaned up that they shouldn't have had to (vendor dropped ball!) and made sure everything looked gorgeous and went smoothly. I'm not interested in getting married again!, but may just have to invent another grand celebration so I can work with CAC again!

them. All of which turned out perfect. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

seal the deal. We felt at ease, welcomed, and "catered" to from the beginning. They have a wealth of information and expertise to help you in all stages of your wedding and are so flexible and easy to plan with. The catering part of the wedding was so important to us, it was great to feel so confidant that things will go perfectly on the big day. The day came and it was fabulous. I probably contacted, emailed, and called Sarah Kane a million times up to just days before the wedding of unforeseen changes that were happening and each time she was accommodating and made sure I wasn't stressed out. The food, the presentation, the courteous staff, the astonishingly quick set-up and tear down were all amazing! Culinary Art Catering also provided the bar service which was very popular and the beautiful linens. We have some picky eaters in our family, but many could not wait for seconds! Also, I have to mention that I was dying for a glass of water after all the festivities had ended and one of the wait staff went and got me one even though they were all packed up to go. That's the kind of care they put in to make sure you have a stress free and wonderful day. I could go on and on about them and received so many compliments from our family and friends. You are doing yourself a huge favor by choosing Culinary Art Catering. I cannot wait to contact them again for a future event.

ing and made the day run smoothly. My family and friends LOVED the food and Culinary Art Catering’s staff. I would HIGHLY recommend Culinary Art Catering for any event. THANKS SO MUCH!!

items they served to us. Our guests loved our dinner-not much of anything left afterwards!

terers I'd been speaking with. Closer to the wedding, the tasting with the chef (who is SUCH a character) really put me at ease. I knew then I was going to get a great product. (I should also note that I'm a food blogger, so the menu and quality of the food was a high priority in my planning process.) Fast forward to the wedding day, and the food was even better than I remembered. I still receive countless compliments on how delicious and original the food was. I was also very impressed with their staff - they didn't miss a beat. I also decided to hire Vivian, their sales manager, to be my wedding coordinator on the day. Her fee is completely reasonable and her calm, cool, and collected persona is ideal for stressed-out brides and parents! She was organized, accomodating, attentive (my husband and I actual ATE at our wedding thanks to Vivian!), and kept the evening running smoothly. I even received compliments about how nicely the evening ran - never heard that one before! To make a long story short, I am beyond thrilled that I hired Culinary Art. Whereas initially I thought I was stepping into the unknown, I now know that Culinary Art was by far one of the best decisions I made for my wedding.

People are still talking about how much they enjoyed the food. The serving trays for food and drinks were absolutely beautiful as well and made it look like we had done a lot more work decorating than we had. Even though they were affordable, it was what we splurged on the most for our wedding. I would say it was well worth it.

ce from Vivian Morgan, what I wanted was being listened to and added into the overall plan for the event. Also, the tasting was amazing! The food was superb and I was so excited I had them as my caterer. In addition, Vivian helped me set up the schedule for the day and gave great suggestions for using my venue to my advantage. Then, the not so good: I had made it clear every step of the way that it was very important to me to have whole or quartered wheels of cheese at the event. In the past, I had worked in a cheese shop for over 2 years and this really mattered to me. It was written in the contract that the cheese would be "Served as uncut wedges, wheels, and in croute." While I did not expect all the cheeses to be served this way (some, really it is just better to have cut) I was very disappointed that NONE of the cheese where served in uncut wedges. I mean really - how hard is it to at least put a wedge of brie out there? My second problem was the difference between the tasting (which was awesome) and the food served (which was good, but rather ordinary.) I understand that it is different serving 3 people in a tasting than 125 at an event - but I felt that the two were so very different, that the tasting was not a real representation of what I was served at my event. The third problem was that at least one menu item I was going to have at my event was not at the tasting; at the wedding I ended up not liking that item and had wished I could have had tasted it before, so I could have changed it.

w they never had such good food at a wedding. The presentation was beautiful, the service was excellent and the linens and tableware were very nice. Once you contract with them, you do not need to worry about a thing - they listen, offer good ideas, and make sure that everything is exactly as you want it to be. They exceeded our expectations and provided excellent value for the money. I will recommend Culinary Art to anyone looking for a wonderful caterer.

ests and easy to work with. I would recommend them and use them again.
