My wife and I honestly get emotional when we think of the service that Roman and his team at Kangaroo Kitchen provided to us leading up to our wedding and at the event itself. Planning a wedding is stressful enough and once you throw a pandem...
ic into the mix it feels downright impossible. But Roman truly took all of our stress away when it came to the food. We were thrown many logistical challenges with changing venues, guest count restrictions, and onsite serving personnel, yet Roman so easily rolled with the punches and offered support and adjustments along the way. We spoke with Roman and Ashley almost daily during the week before the wedding and their care and attention to detail was genuine, thoughtful, and thorough. Kangaroo Kitchen set up a beautiful display at our hors d'oeuvres station and buffet tables and our guests literally could not stop talking about the food. They went out of their way to tell us that this was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. We still run into guests who celebrated with us and the first thing they mention is how amazing the food was. There truly aren't words to express the gratitude we have for Roman, Ashley, and the rest of the Kangaroo Kitchen team for everything they did for us on the best day of our lives. To say we recommend them would be a monumental understatement. Thank you so incredibly much for the EXCELLENCE you served this past weekend. We can't wait to work with you again!!

Dear Travis and Mackenzie, Firstly a huge congratulation to you both on your wedding day. May you enjoy a long and happy and healthy life together. Secondly thank you also for having the Kangaroo Kitchen team be a part of your celebration. Yo...
u both had been on such a roller coaster of a ride with so many changes and restrictions thrown at you along the way. It was all enough to make anyone's head spin and fall off but you took everything in stride and rolled with the punches. Attitude is everything in so many situations and you truly possessed a great one. I sincerely thank you for the very kind comments about the service we provided for you but a lot had to do with your positive attitude, flexibility and openness to adapt. With each challenge that was thrown at you, you rolled with the punches and pivoted with the attitude of ok, how can we now make this work again. So I sincerely thank you both for being a pleasure to work with. And although many changes were made, your special day was perfect. I have to say your choice of linens and the copper color theme was so unique and everything tied together so beautifully. And all your friends were all so nice and friendly and a joy to cater to. So happy to know then too that everyone loved all the food. That is what we wanted for you both - to provide a meal that you hosted that would have your family and friends raving about for days....and years to come. Again it was such a pleasure celebrating your special day with you. Wishing you both all the very best from the team here at Kangaroo Kitchen. Roman, Ashley and my fellow kitchen crew Chefs Josh and Nic.

Not only was KKC easy to work with and extremely reasonably priced, the food was AMAZING. Everyone commented how great everything tasted at our wedding and marveled that there wasn't a single item in the buffet line they didn't thoroughly enjoy.

Chef Roman was booked on the new date but worked hard to be able to cater our rehearsal dinner (also outside). He provided the same unique food choices the bride and groom had sampled at their tasting. We were treated like VIPs even though we downsized from the original venue and guest count. The food was served as a plated dinner in two stages: earlier for family and the wedding party then later for friends. The servers were friendly, flexible and professional. The food was warm and soooooo delicious. We are very fortunate and appreciative to have been able to enjoy such an amazing evening. Chef Roman was a positive, calm, miracle worker. I cannot tell you how many times he reassured us all would be well. I highly recommend Kangaroo Kitchen. We will definitely use them again in the future.

The food was all so amazing, it was a struggle! His recommendations were on point. Pricing was reasonable, and I honestly felt like the quality of his food far surpassed the pricing. At our reception guests RAVED about the food and dessert shooters(even my extremely finicky aunt did), and we were told that guests were going back for seconds and thirds of everything.

Lastly, Chef Roman was catering another event the night of our wedding, but still managed to stop by later in the night. He made sure we were happy, and wanted to meet our parents.

ng the wedding from out of town. He answered questions and was super responsive to all of our emails. Out of all our vendors, he was the most responsive and communicative and I can't thank him enough for that. Additionally, he worked with us when one of our guests has a special diet and was able to accommodate it no problem. Most importantly, our guests loved the food! We live in the DC area and are huge foodies, so one of the biggest things we wanted was fabulous food at our wedding. Kangaroo Kitchen did not disappoint. We had the cilantro lime shrimp, pork belly and roasted pear skewer, smoked bacon and Gouda cheese balls, and sun-dried tomato, rosemary, and cannelloni bean dip for appetizers and they were so good! The roasted vegetables, and roasted sweet potato and freekah salad (everyone loved the salad and raved about it after) were fabulous! And then the mains we chose of the beef brisket with apricot rice and the Chicken saltimbocca with the celery root mashed potatoes were both awesome! We decide last minute to add their Amaretto chocolate coconut balls (I could have ate a plate full!), which was a nice way to end the meal before cake and dessert. We had so many compliments after the wedding (and still are getting them) on the food. We could not be happier! On the day of the wedding, we had an outside ceremony and dance floor at our venue, Camp Blodgett, set up with a tent and it ended up pouring during our cocktail hour. Ashley (our lead contact on our wedding) and the Kangaroo Kitchen staff helped move tables around quickly so our band could set up inside instead. They were awesome at stepping in and helping when we had an unexpected turn in weather. And I can't thank them enough for keeping dinner and clean-up flowing smoothly despite the unexpected change in the layout last minute. My day-of coordinator said they were one of the best catering companies she has worked with. Additionally, the family style meal was perfect for our venue and I am so glad Chef Roman suggested it. With the layout getting tighter with moving dancing inside, we definitely had the extra room because we didn't have a buffet set up. Overall, I highly recommend Chef Roman and Kangaroo Kitchen for your caterer. The staff went above and beyond for us, the food was amazing, and even with last minute changes, they made sure everything ran smoothly making it a great wedding day for us! We cannot thank them enough!

At the wedding and since, many of our guests have just raved about the food! I can't tell you how many times we heard "the food was amazing" or "this is the best wedding food I've ever had" or "this is the best catered food I've ever had." Our next wish is that we can attend a wedding catered by Kangaroo Kitchen so that we can savor the food and go up for seconds without feeling like we needed to socialize with all of our guests instead. I can't say enough good things about Kangaroo Kitchen! Also, with Chef Roman's no added fees, he is right on par cost-wise with even those caterers who look cheaper on paper, but then charge additional service fees and taxes.

asked him if he could make a menu that was entirely gluten free, and everything (except the chicken of course!) vegan -- and he did so with ease. Chef Roman takes great pride in his work, and rightly so: he does not cut corners and insists on delivering the very best. His presentation of the food on the buffet tables really blew us away -- above and beyond what we had imagined. Thank you Roman, for working with us and our needs and serving the best wedding feast our guests had ever experienced!

ppreciated how open he was to accommodating different dietary restrictions. My brother is allergic to dairy, and he readily swapped some ingredients out to make more menu options dairy-free. He also suggested items and twists on his dishes to fit our fall inspired theme. Our wedding guests are still raving about how delicious and unique the meal was. At the reception, Roman and his team had a small plate of each of our appetizers awaiting my husband and I at our seats. It was such a kind (and yummy!) gesture.

Chef Roman catered our wedding in November 2016 and the food was game changing! Roman and his staff at Kangaroo Kitchen were so wonderful with our guests and very accommodating on our wedding day. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! Out of all th...
e compliments about our wedding, the most received by far was "the food was the best we've ever had at a wedding." So many of our guests asked who our caterer was and wanted Roman's contact information. The appetizers, salads, and main courses were perfect. In a world where wedding food has become dull and predictable, Roman and his staff at Kangaroo Kitchen provide a delicious change of pace turning the catering world on its head by offering dishes that are creative and fresh. Our guests raved about all of the dishes ranging from the Vietnamese pulled pork served with daikon and red cabbage relish with siracha aioli, to the salmon served over Moroccan couscous with tomato, cucumber, capers candied walnut and raisins. The food was also beautifully presented, especially the assorted roasted and grilled vegetable platter with roasted beet aioli. Chef Roman met with us prior to our wedding and allowed us to taste all of the dishes prior to signing the contract. We know that when our families think of our wedding day 10 years from now, they will still be raving about the food. Book Kangaroo Kitchen for your wedding and you will not be disappointed; they are truly a West Michigan treasure.

man is not only a talented chef, but was a wonderful, professional, friendly, person to work with. Our tasting was done privately in their store and the atmosphere was almost like a date night. It really made us enjoy the food even more. Afterwards we all sat and talked and hashed out a terrific menu. BY the time our wedding rolled around, a few things were no longer on the menu, but Roman recreated them for us anyway. He was willing to work with us up until a few days prior to the wedding to add coffee service, more or less plates, etc. Day of, we had 160 guests work through 2 buffet lines in less than 30 minutes. All the food was fresh, hot, beautifully prepared and plated. Every guest told us it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding, better than most restaurants! If that's not a compliment, I don't know what is. Kangaroo Kitchen was one of the best wedding choices we made. Hands down.

Also, I asked the chef to make some menu changes due to some family allergy issues and he did so easily, but then on the day of the wedding we realized he included both our original item as well as our allergy free replacement item at no extra charge! Class act! Dinner buffet service was a breeze, they cut our cakes for us and we had a delicious meal without a single snag. Thanks Chef Roman and staff!

traditional plated wedding food. We had the idea to have a "Breakfast for Dinner" theme - On our first date, my husband and I actually met for brunch, and breakfast is also something we love making together! When we met with Roman, the owner of Kangaroo Kitchen, he loved our idea and started brainstorming all of these great breakfast options we could have. On our wedding day, our guests were blown away by the food. They were impressed by the uniqueness of the foods used together, especially the Stuffed French Toast! We were very thankful Roman was able to take our idea and turn our dinner in to something we, and our guests, will always remember and crave!
