Lisa and her crew were such a pleasure to work with. As the Venue Manager of a wedding venue, I work with many vendors from all over and Lisa was by far one of my favorites. All of the Kuma's staff was professional, hardworking and super frie...

ndly. They followed all of our venue policies with no issue and worked well with our staff to ensure a successful event. I would absolutely recommend them to cater any event and I hope to work with them again soon!

Kuma’s catered cocktail hour for our wedding. The food (macaroni and cheese and pulled pork sliders) was a hit with the guests! I think we got more compliments on the cocktail hour food than the dinner!

Kuma's is the best! Working with Lisa was such a pleasure. She's incredibly resourceful and knows exactly how to get to the heart of everything you need so that you don't have to worry about a thing or break the bank. And the food was just abso...

lutely delicious. We saw nothing but clean plates by the end of our 140-person reception and are still getting so many compliments on it all. We really wanted our wedding to feel fun and welcoming, and Lisa and her team provided exactly that vibe. Hiring Kuma's was one of the best decisions we could've made and we can't thank them or recommend them enough! You won't find such high-quality offerings and value for money anywhere else.

Lisa was amazing! Working with her made everything a breeze for our small reception. We didn't have to worry about a thing with regard to our food. Leading up to the event, Lisa was super helpful with recommendations for the menu and quantities...

we needed. We were able to make sure our veg/vegan/gluten-free guests had tasty options as well! Lisa arrived on time, set up the food quickly, and everything was warm and fresh. She even provided to-go boxes for leftovers. I cannot stress how happy we were with our decision to have Kuma's cater our reception!
