Kari and Kevin are masters of their craft. We booked them for our wedding and received so many compliments about how amazing the food was. We asked for appetizers that matched our ethnic backgrounds and were blown away by the quality. A ceviche, perogi's, mini tacos, and the most gourmet pizza rolls I've ever had grace my tongue. Their team was amazing as well, handling the table/chair setup + serving the guests. Everything was spectacular and I could not recommend a better catering team.
Kari and her entire team were such a dream to work with! They helped us craft of perfect menu for the day including appetizers at cocktail hour and had great recommendations for our signature cocktails. It was so easy to work with them for catering, bar, and our tabletop rentals. They were so easy to work with for all of our changes throughout the process as well. And so many of our guests told us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had! We found Little Lily's through our venue (Castle Green), and I definitely see why they recommend this vendor!
Little Lily's Kitchen was a superb caterer for our wedding! We had a blast meeting with Kari and Kevin to select our menu and every item at our wedding was VERY well received. You can really taste the love and care Little Lily's put into each dish and that care made our wedding even more special. All of the staff were so helpful and kind which helped us focus on celebrating because all our guests were so well taken care of. We recommend using them for any event, we cannot thank them enough!
Kari, Kevin and the whole staff have been a dream to work with. Our menu was a fantastic collaborative effort, the tasting was perfect and when I tell you all of our guests were blown away by how great everything tasted. Lucky to have had them as part of our wedding. Thank you!
It was an absolutely fantastic experience working with Kari and Kevin. They made our wedding and rehearsal dinners unique, delicious and a total joy. They were easy to work with and completely collaborative.
Little Lily’s Kitchen was a true delight to work with. Kari is very thorough when it came to planning the days events, making sure that no detail was left behind. Kevin, the chef, took our love story and built a truly delicious menu. From the hors d’oeuvres and the oyster bar, to the dinner and the signature cocktails, Little Lily’s Kitchen made our wedding day magical, memorable, and tasty.
Kari and her team provided incredible catering services that were perfectly customized with all of our favorite things! We loved working with the Little Lily's team to come up with a menu that fit the vision for our day, taste an incredible spread of all the items that would be served, and fully trust that they would take care of everything the day of. Our guests raved about all of the food served, and we (bride and groom) still had time to eat all of the food on our busy day because the catering staff had everything ready for us at the perfect moment! We are still thinking about how great the street tacos and Nashville fried chicken sliders served during our cocktail hour were! In addition to the food, the Little Lily's team went above and beyond with service the entire night and not a single detail was missed. We highly recommend their services and can't wait to have their food again!
We are beyond pleased with our experience with Little Lily's Kitchen as the catering team we chose for our wedding. Before we got engaged, my husband and I had an excellent dinner at LLK owners Kari and Kevin's restaurant, Henry Parsons Project (also highly recommend). Once we started planning our wedding I remembered seeing that they do catering, so I reached out to Kari to learn more. We were looking for something more personalized than the usual chicken or beef option for our reception dinner. Good food and drinks were at the top of our wedding priority list, and we wanted to have some dishes that would represent my Mexican and his Italian heritage. LLK was the best option we found since they worked with us to create a custom menu of drinks, appetizers, dinner and desserts.
We had so much fun at our tasting dinner and the team gracefully took our feedback for the few changes we wanted. We appreciated being able to work with LLK for not only bar and food service but also to handle the related rentals and staffing with them. The staff was very friendly and attentive.
Weddings can be stressful, but it was a relief to know we were in good hands with Kari and the LLK team, and that our guests enjoyed the menu we crafted together.
Little Lily’s Kitchen was one of the preferred vendors for our venue, Castle Green. We were able to work with them to create a completely unique and bespoke menu that fit our personalities and tastes. Kari and Kevin were very collaborative and brought in great ideas and suggestions – for example we love pizza and had wanton pepperoni pizza rolls as one of our appetizers that was suggested by them. I also originally come from the Southeast and we had a Carolina sauce with our pulled pork sliders, again suggested by Kari and Kevin. They spent the time getting to know us and our food at the wedding felt personal because of those great details.
We did a tasting at their restaurant of the full menu and only needed to make a few minor tweaks as everything tasted good. It was essentially a private meal and a great opportunity to work with the team to have exactly the type of food we wanted. They also helped us with our rentals, the color scheme, table settings, and stylistic choice for the venue. It was very convenient to have all the rentals, food, and the open bar through Little Lily’s Kitchen which made everything easier and the wedding day went by very smoothly. We got lots of compliments from our guests about the food and we got to enjoy some yummy leftovers ourselves!
Kevin and Kari are a great team! Their kitchen isn't just food - it's a whole experience from start to finish. They got to know my now Husband and I during our intro meeting and the foods we do and don't enjoy, put together an incredible menu of things that represented the both of us, and delivered during the tasting! If you want to experience personal, delicious, and great quality catering for your next event - Little Lily's Kitchen is for you! My husband and I were so excited about our food experience and we couldn't wait to share it with our family and friends for our big day.
We didn't know how amazing the food and beverages at our wedding could be - but with Little Lily's, dare to dream! Chef Kevin, Kari, and the entire team deliver the highest quality and hospitality around. They've never done the same menu twice so they got to know us and then came up with a menu that was thoughtful yet collaborative with us.
As if we weren't excited enough for our wedding meal, Chef found a way to work with all of my allergies and for the first time in memory I could eat anything that was there! People always bring up how great the food was whenever we talk about the wedding and I still dream about some of the things we ate.
To Kevin, Kari, and the whole team at Little Lily's - THANK YOU! You made the wedding planning process fun, exciting, easy... and delicious!
If you let Kevin and Kari do their magic, your guests will have one of the absolute best meals of their life. Period. If you are a serious foodie, these are your people. I knew LLK was our soul-caterer when in our initial phone meeting Kevin asked us to describe our #1 dining experience. If you can dream it, Little Lily's will do everything in their power to make it happen. We weren't into cookie-cutter caterers and Little Lily's came to the rescue with a fully custom menu. In addition to their culinary expertise, they gave us extremely valuable wedding advice along the way. They absolutely care about you and your happiness and their prices are very fair. Finally, the execution of all our magnificent plans went above and beyond the day of the wedding. Their waitstaff was charismatic, pleasant, and joyful.

Kevin came up with the fantastic idea to double the kitchen as entertainment. Guests were able to watch the chefs as our meal was assembled. They loved it!
They made my cheese "cake" dream come true! I asked them for a tiered stack of cheese for our desert and they made a MASTERPIECE!

We’re so grateful to Little Lily’s Kitchen for making our wedding day both delicious and stress-free. From the beginning, Kevin and Kari were outstanding, professional, and kind in all respects. They responded quickly to our (many) e-mails and their vegan/vegetarian choices were so delicious that even the carnivores picked them! Their mix of responsiveness and helpful suggestions gave us dinner choices that satisfied everyone. We appreciate that, on hearing our budget, they worked with us to make something we were all happy with, and their prices were very fair, especially considering the high quality food and service we received. Thank you for all the creative solutions and delicious food! We loved our menu and our guests did too--thank you, Kevin and Kari for being so flexible and for making that part of our day so special!
I cannot believe how lucky we were to have LLK as our wedding caterer! Their food was so delicious, it felt like I was dining in a five star fine dining restaurant instead of a wedding reception! All night our guests kept coming up to us raving about the food! Their level of service was incredible. The servers and bartenders were so personable and attentive to all of our guests. Chef Kevin made the process so easy from start to finish. He took our whimsical Doctor Who theme and translated that into our menu and signature cocktail! So creative and inventive! Cannot recommend them enough!!
Little Lily’s Kitchen catered our daughter’s wedding for 180 people in December 2017 at a synagogue in Beverly Hills, California. Our son-in-law found Little Lily’s on a website that connects those seeking catering services with those who provide catering services. Our son-in-law loves the culinary arts, and was immediately impressed with Kevin and Kari’s (co-owners of Little Lily’s Kitchen) responsiveness, and openness to customizing the menu to reflect our wishes. In addition, we had dietary restrictions which Kevin fully understood and implemented. We were also impressed with their competitive pricing. Their catering services included a tasting at our home 6 months before the event, wine tasting, complete bartending services, a walk through at the venue, rental of dishes, cutlery, glassware, furniture and outdoor heaters, etc. in addition to catering of the meal. To say the least, we were extremely pleased with Little Lily’s Kitchen. We even received compliments from our guests who appreciate the culinary arts, “I’ve never had food at a wedding like this!” Kevin and Kari paid attention to every detail of the event, as well as always making sure that we were pleased.
Here is our menu:
Hor D’oeuvres
Cured Salmon on Cucumber with Tobiko and Wasabi Aioli
Marinated Artichoke and Basil Arancini
Crostini with Duck Rillettes and Tomato Chutney
Endive with Beet, Persimmon and Granny Smith Apple
Salad
Baby Spinach with Herbs, Shaved Radish, Red Pepper with Lemon-Parsley Vinaigrette
Family Style Dinner
Moroccan Spice Lamb Shank over Smashed Potato
Braised Chicken Thighs with Pomodoro Polenta
Pan Seared Sea Bass with Spiced Tomato Puree over Lemon-Scented Rice
House-made Gnocchi with Butternut Squash, Blistered Tomatoes, Swiss Chard, Toasted Pumpkin Seeds and Lemon-Thyme Sauce
Kale and Shallots, Broccolini, Roasted Carrot
Most importantly, it is their love of food and hospitality that puts them in a special class. You can’t go wrong with Little Lily’s Kitchen!
It is not possible to describe how integral Little Lilly's was to our wedding. Kevin, Kari, Stevi, and team were phenomenal every step of the way through this process. They not only provided AMAZING FOOD, but they gave us honest and unbelievably helpful advice and guidance on everything from food and liquor to rentals and timelines. They helped us when we were lost, answered all of pur questions, no matter how crazy and absolutely took care of us on our big day making sure we ate and enjoyed the outstanding meal they prepared. We could not have asked for better group of people to help us have our dream wedding. Our guests asked about the catering all night, they RAVED about the food. One guest even asked for their business card and posted it on Facebook as a shout out. That is just a testament of their FANTASTIC work. Little Lilly's is the only way to go for all of your catering needs!
