h the italian buffet and ate the leftovers for a week after the wedding - and were SO thrilled to be able to do so. The communication with the coordinator Gretchen was amazing from the beginning.

We will no doubt work with Matthew's again for future events.

We also had a late night snack of soft pretzels and cheese! These were AMAZING!

Overall, Matthews Catering’s nacho and taco bar and pretzels is a hit for any event, leaving guests satisfied and asking for seconds. It's a delicious way to bring people together and celebrate good food!

The absolute best wedding caterer we could have asked for. This is nothing like your ordinary catering experience. Even a month after having our wedding, we are STILL getting comme...
nts from our guests saying that they have never had wedding food like this. We have nothing but great things to say. Their main contact person had to take an unexpected leave and the owners stepped in immediately and not once did we ever fear we were going to have issues with this family business.
It is worth noting that they are based out of Kansas City and we had our wedding in Lawrence, KS and the food was still hot and fresh when it was time for us to sit down and eat our food! They also were able to bring us food to our head table so we did not have to worry about that!
The payment process and having to remember quantities and contracts, they used an online portal that had everything easily accessible! and it was wonderful!
We cannot rave about them enough, and want to have an excuse to use them again!
Guests are still raving about the food! Chef Matthew and Jennifer provided an incredible experience! Gretchen coordinated everything perfectly and Katie’s direction of the onsite t...

he speedy and diligent communication through the whole process, to even being calm, cool, and collected when timelines adjusted the day before, everything was amazing!
Matt and Jeni were a joy to chat with at our tasting, and Jeni was truly next level with any questions/requests/random thoughts we had. Anytime I had a question, she had a speedy answer and assured me that no question was a dumb question (which I so appreciated). They made sure that all our guests, even our vegan friends, had plenty of yummy options! The staff they provided to work our wedding buffet were amazing, kind, and so professional. They even offered to grab my partner and I's plates first so we didn't have to leave our sweethearts table. They were so on top of everything, we truly couldn't have asked for a better catering team. I would recommend Matthew's Catering 100% to anyone looking for a caterer!

truly thank Matthew and Jeni for being part of our journey! Their salad dressings are all homemade and choosing which ones to serve our guests was one of the hardest decisions we made during wedding planning (just kidding... but really they are all so good). Matthew was very open to our feedback and suggestions & Jeni was responsive throughout the entire process, and proactively reached out two weeks before the wedding to confirm all the final details. I hope they're available for your day and you get a chance to work with them!

One thing that I my husband and I were sad about was our promised leftovers, that we never ended up taking to our hotel. This wasn't a huge issue, we just were looking forward to this perk from our caterer. (this wasn't there fault, just a bummer)
All in all, We would highly recommend Matthews catering!!!
