My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Key Ingredient Catering from start to finish. From the moment we met their team at a wedding expo, through our tasting, final walkthrough, and wedding day, we were consistently impressed by their professionalism, organization, communication, and customer service. We especially appreciated their transparency throughout the planning process. They provided a wide range of menu options, were flexible with substitutions, and were incredibly accommodating when it came to dietary restrictions and food allergies. Our guests included individuals who were vegan, vegetarian, lactose-free, gluten-free, and had severe nut allergies, and Key Ingredient ensured everyone had delicious and safe options. For guests with severe nut allergies, they even offered sealed plates for additional peace of mind. Their customer service truly went above and beyond. Because my husband and I weren’t able to attend a formal cake tasting in person, they prepared an extensive assortment of cake slices for us to try at home. This thoughtful gesture made the decision process so much easier. We ultimately selected a beautiful three-tier cake with two flavor combinations: a black-and-white cake featuring chocolate and vanilla layers with cookies-and-cream buttercream, and a carrot cake with cream cheese buttercream. We also had a dessert spread that our guests thoroughly enjoyed. The food itself was outstanding. Our menu included grilled flank steak with soy, brown sugar, garlic, and herbs; cabernet glazed salmon with mustard, cabernet, and brown sugar; wild mushroom polenta with mushroom ragout and herbs; a pear and walnut salad; grilled plum tomatoes; grilled asparagus; and bread and butter. Every dish was delicious, and our guests raved about the food and the variety of options. We also used their drop-off catering for the getting-ready portion of the day, and it was perfect. They provided sandwiches, wraps, fresh fruit, shrimp cocktail, chicken skewers, and more—offering a great balance of lighter items and more substantial food to keep everyone energized throughout the morning. During dinner service, they had plates prepared for my husband and me so we could eat first. This thoughtful detail allowed us enough time to enjoy our meal before stepping away for sunset photos while guests began dinner shortly afterward. We also want to recognize Kamila and Fabiana, her assistant and our day-of lead caterer. During our final walkthrough, they were incredibly kind, calm, and confident, immediately putting us at ease. As regulars at Glenview Mansion, they offered excellent insights into timing and flow that helped the entire day run smoothly. On the wedding day, the reception dining rooms looked stunning, and their team handled setup and breakdown of tables and chairs seamlessly. At the end of the night, they even packed up our leftover dinner and desserts for us to take home, which we truly appreciated. The cake was another highlight. We shared a few inspiration photos, and their team transformed them into something even more beautiful than we imagined. It perfectly matched our wedding aesthetic and felt uniquely ours. Overall, Key Ingredient Catering exceeded our expectations in every way. Their professionalism, attention to detail, flexibility, inclusivity, and incredible food made them an essential part of our wedding day. We are so grateful for everything they did to help make our celebration unforgettable.
