Kafe 421 catered our wedding in July 2017 and did THE most phenomenal job! Prior to the wedding, we did two different tastings at the restaurant with our families and Georgia went above and beyond to provide very generous portions of tasty, bea...
utifully prepared food. She answered all of our questions in person, and she and Antigoni both communicated with us as much as we needed throughout our year of wedding planning from afar. On the day of the wedding, we had an outdoor cocktail hour and tented reception with over 200 guests and we couldn't have been happier with the catering. The owner of the wedding venue also raved about Georgia's professionalism, gorgeous preparation and layout, and efficiency in planning (ex: our buffet was run seamlessly and so quickly, even the guests commented on it!). Our guests also made endless comments about the high quality, fresh, innovative food and many people said "best wedding food ever." We very highly recommend Kafe 421's catering (and restaurant in Dinkytown!).
Kafe 421 was a joy to work with. They were there to answer any questions and helped us in so many ways. The food was amazing and we received numerous compliments. Georgia and Antigoni were the two ladies that helped us and they are awesome! Wou...
ld definitely recommend using them as a caterer or for a nice dinner out with your fiance.
