Plaza Catering was great at our wedding. They were very responsive to email during the planning period. I had guests who had vegetarian diets and they provided a separate meal option for them. Main dishes were beef marsala and chicken piccata. Both were cooked very well and were delicious. The servers and staff were very professional. They cut our cake and checked in often to make sure we were doing ok and if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend the team.

Our wedding experience with Plaza Catering was fantastic! The coordinator, Katie, was a joy to work with and happily answered all of our questions. She also helped us accommodate the dietary restrictions of some of the guests attending the wedding. My daughter chose the Bbq meal option which was delicious and reasonably priced. We had many compliments. The couple also did a taste testing which they really enjoyed and it allowed them to make a few minor adjustments. The servers were professional and efficient. We had a wonderful experience with Plaza Catering and would most certainly recommend it for your wedding or event!

I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Rolfe and Plaza Catering! From the second we set foot inside the restaurant for our tasting, Rolfe swept us off our feet and curated the most perfect meal for us, using our favorite foods as inspiration. Every detail from allergies to my random disgust of cucumbers, was noted and adjusted on the menu. He made sure we left happy and full, and had us rate what we'd eaten so we could come back for another round of tastings with improvements, on the house! He wanted to make sure everything was perfect. They even worked with us on dishes and non-alcoholic drinks that were specific to the Gatsby era. I don't know how we could have gotten a better caterer. What a gem! Not to mention, some of the greatest food of all time! Everyone at the wedding said so!

Rolfe was absolutely spectacular - I couldn't have asked for a better caterer. He was very responsive and lenient with a ton of questions we had throughout the months of working with him. We also had some vegetarian guests and two guests with severe garlic allergies, and he was so accommodating to them (they all got their own plate to ensure no cross-contamination occurred).
We also used Plaza Catering for our bartending, and while I, as the super busy bride, was not able to make my way over there, all of the guests seemed very content with the beer and wine! The waitstaff and bartenders were also very professional and kind.

I can't say enough great things about Plaza Catering! Rolfe was a dream to work with and he can truly do anything when it comes to wedding catering. I'm not even sure how he did everything the night of my wedding, but it was all flawless and delicious - my guests were commenting all night about how good the food was! He also worked with my fiance and I on the price as we are young and fresh from college with not a ton to spend, but still wanted amazing food. He has a ton of experience and it shows! The whole staff was kind and professional and the food was so good!

Rolfe with Plaza Catering was fantastic to work with. He was super helpful during the whole process. I wanted to change a few things and he easily made the adjustments. The food was also delicious. Our guests raved about the main dishes and all the sides. Some guests went back for seconds. They really added to our big day. I would definitely recommend them for any catering needs. There is such a variety of foods to choose from.

Delicious!! We couldn't be more pleased with the service and food that Plaza Catering provided for our wedding!! They also accommodated for children and vegetarian meals. Due to Covid we had to change our date and PC made the transition go very smoothly. Many of our guests commented on how tasty the food was and the friendly and professional service staff. Several asked for their contact information. I will use them for my future catering needs.

I cannot say enough good things about Plaza Catering! From beginning to end, the experience was PHENOMENAL. Rolfe was extremely kind and quick to get a quote together for us. We did 2 tastings (my husband missed the first one), and the quality of food was incredible. Day of, the food was just as wonderful as the previous tasting. Though we missed the appetizers due to family photos, the team made sure that we received some plated appetizers when we reached the reception, and even served our head table a plated meal (as opposed to the buffet that the rest of the reception was getting). My grandmother has several dietary restrictions and they made her a separate meal without question. While the quality of food was fantastic, it was also extremely affordable! Thank you so much!

Plaza catering was wonderful to work with. From the tasting to the day of, they were so responsive and helpful. The food was delicious. They provided appetizers, salads, sides and entrees for us. All of it left our guests wanting more. They definitely brought us enough food and we never worried about running out. Rolfe was so easy to work with and so accommodating. We would definitely recommend!

Their food was absolutely delicious and their service was phenomenal. My guests still rave about it during other weddings, remembering how yummy and filling it was. Everyone loved their food and the service flowed perfectly. It was obvious they have a ton of experience with setting up and working a wedding which I really appreciated. They even went above and beyond to serve up extra cheese spread my husband’s grandma made. It made her and us smile, and led to many party goers asking for the recipe. I was blown away by their service and would highly recommend.

Throughout the wedding planning process Plaza Catering was a delight to work with. We brought a list of questions to our initial consultation and every single one was answered in detail including our concerns on using single use plastic items, something important for us to not use. They accommodated our wishes with several different options with no hesitation. Rolfe was attentive, helpful, and knowledgeable of all the food and gave us the peace of mind to know they were the catering vendor for us. We worked with Jennifer after and felt very well taken care of.
The food was delicious! I have been a longtime fan of the Bacon and Bleu Salad and it was perfect. The Chicken Spiedini was moist and tender. The vegetables were crisp and flavorful. Every bite of food was delicious! The passed appetizers were a great touch to add a little something for our guests as they enjoyed cocktail hour and all our guests raved about the food and experience! I absolutely recommend Plaza Catering!

I had sampled Plaza Catering at an event last year in KC and had them on my radar for my wedding. I was thrilled to see not only was their food good, but their pricing is very reasonable! Jenn was great to work with and was quick to respond to any questions we had throughout our planning process. I would definitely recommend Plaza Catering!

My wife and I picked the Italian buffet option for our reception, and could not have been happier with our catering service. Jenn was so wonderful to work with, from the tasting where we were able to try multiple items, from answering questions and making some adjustments along the way, to wedding day when everything went smoothly! The staff were on time, set up looked nice, the food was hot and tasted great, and the service couldn't have been better. Everyone made sure we were taken care of first and were very accommodating. Our guests raved about the food!

The most yummy wedding food i have ever had!!! Seriously... I would recommend Plaza Catering to any bride and groom i know. We set up a time to meet with Jenn and the plaza catering team and they had food options ready to us to taste and decide which options we wanted to have for our wedding reception. It was so hard to decide because all of their options were so delicious!! Jenn and her team also put together the most beautiful and most extravagant charcuterie table with an assortment of meats, cheeses, crackers, nuts, and spreads for our guests to eat during cocktail hour on the day of the wedding. The guests loved it so much! Everything was delicious and i would highly recommend the highly professional team. Thank you so much Jenn and Plaza Catering :)

Plaza catering was amazing. From tasting to final product, they were one of my favorite things about my wedding!
I’m gluten free and lactose intolerant. When we went into our tasting, I had completely forgotten my medicine to have dairy. They quickly made me up the dishes without any dairy on them! And I didn’t get sick from anything (they are amazing with dietary restrictions).
They dressed in attire to match our wedding, we all super nice and professional, and the food was just as amazing at the wedding as it was at the tasting. We had family style, so everyone was able to have extra and everyone loved the interactive family style.
We had a couple hiccups. I totally forgot to tell them where the kids and vegetarians were for their specific meals. But plaza took care of it without even worrying me about it. We also had an issue with getting ahold of them a couple of times before the wedding. It wasn’t a huge deal and was resolved fairly quickly. And lastly, we ended up with one item that we had requested not to have the week prior. Not a huge deal!
Plaza Catering gave us the amazing experience that we wanted from a caterer. Amazing food, amazing staff and insanely reliable. It was literally the best food that I have ever had at a wedding!

We absolutely loved working with this vendor! My husband was the primary contact with caterers and he spoke so highly of every interaction he had with Jenn. My family is from out of town, and she was so accommodating with tasting and multiple meetings leading up to the wedding to make sure everything was perfect. We had a handful of last minute requests come up, and she was so helpful to find us everything we needed. I can not recommend them enough. The service we received at the reception was above and beyond, they helped take care of so many things throughout the night and continued to check in with both us whenever they could. They truly made our wedding reception so wonderful, and the food was delicious. We received so many compliments on the food we served from many of our guests!

Plaza catering provided passed appetizers and a buffet for our wedding and the food was phenomenal!!! We were blown away at our tasting, and the food tasted the exact same when cooked in bulk for 200 plus guests which far exceeded our expectations. Not to mention this one one of the most affordable catering options we could find... highly recommend and will definitely use them again in the future.

We used Plaza Catering for our wedding on August 3rd. Jenn and her team are amazing!! The tasting was great; Jenn sat down with us and went through all the options, and answered all our questions. We were so impressed, we chose them after our first and only tasting - we didn't even try any other caterers! Jenn was an awesome communicator and promptly answered any questions I had. The day before the wedding there was a mix-up of linens (there were a few black ones when we wanted all white); they remedied this right away and I didn't even have to worry about it! Our guests reported that the food was amazing, and they even cut our cake for us without being asked to. Would highly recommend!

We went with Cinzetti's through Plaza Catering and I cannot say enough good things about the level of service, professionalism and taste of their food! Our initial consultation was wonderful. Rolfe went above and beyond providing more samples than we had asked for and he was there in person and sat down with us to discuss options and what would work best for us. We were instantly impressed with their hospitality and willingness to get to know us and what we envisioned for our big day. Rofle was also very helpful with my (very many) questions and changes and even accomodated meals for a couple of our vegan guests. Little details from cutlery to linens were also offered and he went above and beyond to accomodate us. We receieved so many compliments from guests about how tasty and hot the food was. Definitely recommend!

Plaza catering exceeded my expectations. Everyone loved the food and they were incredibly easy to work with. Jenn and Rolfe were so helpful. When it came time to clean up, they did so very efficiently and quickly. The wait staff was very professional and even made sure I got some of the appetizers when I was finished walking down the aisle! I didn’t think I would have a chance to eat any of them and it was so sweet of them to make sure myself and wedding party were able to. 10/10 recommend if you want great food and great service for your big day.

I have largely mixed feelings about this vendor. The food was amazing and every tasting I attended I felt confident in the caterer. However, the communication was poor. The caterer would often not return my emails and it took several attempts to reach anyone. I had to send 3 emails, leave 2 voicemails, and have 3 different wedding party members attempt to reach staff over a 2 week of period before I could get ahold of the caterer to confirm head count and details. They also did not follow through on their promises. For example, they instructed us that they would set aside an entire tray of appetizers and serve them to the wedding party in the chapel of the event space, however it took the mother of the bride to enter the kitchen to request such before anyone thought to do so. At this time in the evening, the appetizers were almost gone. Also, the mother of the bride repeatedly had to go into the kitchen to inquire into food status as it would take extended periods of time before servers would come with refilled trays. Also, the caterer promised to send over a new invoice after completing final head count and payment, however I am still waiting for this email. It saddens me that the communication and leadership was so poor, as the food was truly great and guests enjoyed it. I would recommend them for their food but just know you’ll need to stay on top of them for the specifics, as service was poor.

If there were 10 stars to give, I would happily give all 10+ to Jenn and her AMAZING catering staff! We were nervous about booking a catering company for our daughter's wedding because it's a huge part of the evening and so hard to find a caterer that can deliver great food for so many people.
(we have found it uncommon for wedding reception food to be really delicious and memorable.) From the first minute we met Jenn, I had no doubt that she was someone we could count on and also a professional at what she does. (& someone we would want to be friends with after the event was long over!) The food at our tasting was great, but we still had our doubts if they could duplicate that for our 200 guests off site. We were so thrilled when we sat down to dinner at our reception and it was just as good if not better than when only 4 of us tasted it months ago. Many, many of our guests were extremely complimentary and frankly shocked that wedding food could be so good. They were sending us pictures of the food etc.... all night with various captions relating their approval. So fun! Not only was the food amazing, but Jenn also offered to order and pick up our special request of Krispy Kreme donuts for the reception and included all of the bride & groom's special touches that made the meal feel more personal. We will definitely be using Jenn and Plaza Catering again even if we have to come up with an event just for that purpose. They created and executed a meal that went far and above any expectations we had & delivered it with professionalism and ease. Plaza Catering was a huge part of having our daughter's wedding day turn out to be exactly the one we had dreamed of.

We had a disaster with our first caterer, who ended up losing their kitchen before the wedding (and not refunding our deposit). Our wedding planner recommended Plaza Catering, and they were fantastic! We worked primarily with Jenn, who was wonderful! At the tastings, they brought us food we hadn't requested but which they highly recommended (rightfully so!). At the end of each of the two tastings we did (we wanted to taste something they didn't have available the first night), they boxed up the leftovers and sent them home with us! And somehow the food at the wedding was even better than what we had at the tasting. They were professional, easy to work with, kind, and thoughtful, and the food was fantastic!

Plaza Catering is a must! Jenn and her crew were great to work with and the pricing was very reasonable. The Chicken Spiedini was a hit with our guests. Additionally, the tasting is something you’ll want to experience and make sure you bring your appetite. During the tasting they allowed us to change up the menu options and they recommended other sides we were not initially interested in…this is how we discovered the garlic mashed potatoes (another must have). Overall, the food was delicious and the servers were very professional. We highly recommend Plaza Catering.

Cater through them. It’s that easy.
Literally every body said that this was the best wedding food they had. Some people couldn’t dance because they were so full (which may not be some people’s cup of tea, but we come from a middle eastern family where in our culture you just can’t let people go hungry).
We allowed people to have any two of the three:
Filet with mash
Stuffed chicken with rice
Trout with cous cous.
It was incredible. The way Rolfe handled the menu and my demanding family was fantastic. I just can’t say enough good stuff about Rolfe or the catering.
We even let people choose how they wanted their steak cooked. I can’t imagine how much coordination it took to feed over 200 people with three possible combinations (not to mention veggie/gf/vegan options) and getting to choose how to cook the meat.
Beyond impressive

Without a doubt, Plaza Catering is delicious food! With multiple people in both our families have extreme food allergies, It was great to have Plaza Catering work with us on an entire menu that was dairy free and for the most part gluten free as well! Rolfe was great to work with! Every time we went to meet with him, he knew us, which to me was a big deal! As the bride, it was also nice to have the staff serve me personally so as not to get my dress messy with food. They showed up a few hours prior to the reception and stayed until the end of the night. That was a pleasant surprise.

Plaza Catering catered my daughter's wedding at the Madrid theatre. They did an excellent job. Jennifer worked with us and did a great job communicating throughout the planning process. The day of the wedding we had the Italian feast. We chose the Chicken Spiedini, penne pasta, meatballs etc.and passed appetizers during the flip. The food was delicious and we had many compliments. One man said it was the best buffet he had ever had at a wedding. The servers were very nice and seemed to convey that they enjoyed their job.

I was not expecting to like Plaza Catering, but I had had another caterer back out on me so I gave them a shot. I was expecting to go to the tasting and just be able to cross them off of the list and move on to other potential caterers. But we walked in and Jennifer blew us away! We were so impressed with the food and service that we booked them that night. We also came back to book our rehearsal dinner with them as well.
They delivered exactly as we expected and made sure that we had our to go meal as well as giving us all of the leftovers even when we were not expecting them. their servers were great - helped bride and groom through the line so that we wouldn't get food on my dress and did a great job with cutting and serving the cake.

Finding a Caterer on my budget was a huge challenge. I figured I would have to go with a "cheap" option like HyVee or another grocery store. I'm SOOOO glad I found Plaza Catering! Not only did they completely work with my modest budget, but they beyond exceeded expectations! I came to our tasting very cautious and left beyond thrilled! Chef Rolfe was incredible!!! He did a tasting not only for me and my mom but also for my whole family (both sets of parents + plus bride and groom). He also let me change up the menu options and made me a dish to try out on the spot! His enthusiasm was infectious and he made the whole process incredibly fun. The pricing was phenomenal and even included a couple of appetizers. There was also no unexpected fees (unlike some horror stories I'd heard). They also took care of the cake and cutting. They also have a great reputation as Caterers and our venue was thrilled to work with them. And the staff the day of the wedding were a total delight! We felt like a King and Queen and our guests loved the food! Especially the chicken spiedini. We'd loved eating the left overs on our honeymoon! I can't say enough good things about Plaza Catering.

So perfect! We eat at the sit down restaurant for special occasions. We are familiar with the menu. My husband was in charge of picking a caterer for our wedding reception. He was kind of slacking so I called the restaurant and they connected me with Jenn.
Jenn was great at putting together a custom Italian feast for 95 adults and 25 kids. Every part of our menu was delicious. One of my sisters ate the kids' Macaroni and Cheese, she said it was the best she'd ever had. Our attendant made my plate and brought it to my table. He was the sweetest! Plaza Catering will forever be my first choice. Our families enjoyed the food and we got many compliments and questions on who catered.
Thank you everyone at Plaza Catering for making our first meal as husband and wife incredible.

Plaza Catering catered our wedding reception and the food was amazing! Jenn and Rolfe took great care of us during the whole process and even let us come in twice to taste the food, just to make sure! We got to bring friends with us both times to taste and it was free! Everyone said how much they liked the food and appreciated the different flavors that just BBQ! I would highly recommend Plaza Catering for any wedding rehearsal dinner or reception!

Our wedding food was EXACTLY what we wanted! We met with Rolfe and Jenn at Plaza Catering to do a tasting with my fiance and his parents and let me tell you, they will wine and dine you!! They were very accommodating and was able to make any request happen. I asked if it would be possible to do another tasting with my parents, since they live out of town, and they said to come back as many times as we need to to make sure it is exactly what we wanted. The chicken spiedini was so flavorful and tender and the pasta dishes were to die for. Since our reception was going to be later (7:30pm) we asked if we could change the appetizer option a "late night" food option. They said it would be no problem and they could make whatever we wanted happen. We ended up doing pizzas with different toppings and I had a special request for a gallon of ranch (for a ranch fountain!!) and they were able to provide that. They were very friendly, responded in a timely manner and I would recommend them to ANYONE needing a caterer for a wedding or any event. They are just great people in general!

We were given a list of available caters for our wedding from our wedding venue. We met with 2 of the 5. Jen from plaza was the second person that we met with and we were immediately sold! She was so wonderful to work with. We had a special request for a fall themed dinner and she created a special dinner for us and even drove to get us the cider that we requested! We could not have been more impressed with her professionalism, creativity and service, not to mention the food was wonderful!!! Excellent service, you won't be disappointed!

We worked with the Kansas City branch of the business. And working with Jenn was a dream. She took the time at our tasting to learn about what we were thinking and to provide suggestions on menu options. We had selected a variety of options to try at the tasting beforehand, and everything at the tasting was so delicious, it was difficult to decide on our final options! It was an easy decision to book Jenn, though. Her prices were reasonable and we received high quality, delicious choices. During the planning period, she was very responsive and flexible with the small changes we requested. She provided us with ideas for how to set up our buffet because she was familiar with our venue and had seen it done a few ways. The cocktail hour and dinner service went very smoothly and we received several compliments on the food. Jenn's team did a wonderful job setting up our tables and making sure everyone had what they needed. The few servers I had the chance to speak with were very kind and happy, each working with a smile on their faces. We owe a huge thanks to Jenn and her Team for the role they played in our event, and strongly recommend them for yours!

Our food was absolutely perfect. Everyone kept commenting on how good the food was and how there was always enough! We went with the Italian Menu through Cinzetti's, and Rolfe was beyond awesome. Affordable, accommodating and so easy to work with! The food was one of the high lights of the wedding for sure!

I had them cater through Hillcrest country club and this place is amazing. I absolutely love Plaza Catering!!! The minute we met Jenn (who coordinated everything food for us) we fell in love with her! She sat us down for a tasting, and offered so many extras. The food was great, every one of my guests complimented the dinner we had at our wedding. The other plaza catering employees made sure people's water never ran low, and were prompt about cleaning up and breaking down things. Their house salad is to die for. Thank you plaza catering for helping my wedding go so great!

Plaza Catering (Rolfe especially) was without a doubt the best vendor we worked with for our wedding. From start to finish it was nothing but fantastic. We had several tastings for food and drink, and each was fantastic as Rolfe worked with our preferences. We got so many compliments about our food at the wedding, and we have to agree - it was great! Brides, this is the company to go with, for sure.

Plaza Catering was wonderful! We worked with Rolfe leading up to our wedding. He was flexible, reliable, and always extremely friendly. Rolfe was extremely helpful. He made the experience fun and easy. The food was fabulous. Our guests raved about the chicken spiedini. Everything was really good and there was a ton of food. Rolfe made our dinner perfect. He also provided all the linens. They set up all the linens and took them off at the end of the night. Everything looked great. I would highly recommend Plaza Catering. We have absolutely nothing but good things to say about Rolfe and Plaza Catering.

We worked with Jenn at Plaza Catering for the buffet at our wedding reception and everything went great! The food was so tasty and the service was very good. She even let us do a kids buffet which was a hit with all the kiddos we had at our wedding! Jenn is a kind person, makes great food and is awesome to work with in planning a great event for your weddings guests!

07/25/2015...I must say that I was rather impressed with the selection and the pricing of the menu that Plaza Catering provided. Jenn was professional during consultations and was very flexible with us. My only dissatisfaction came from the food itself. The oeuvres were great, however the meal itself left much to be desired. We (the bride and groom) were serviced first. Our food was cold, our mashed potatoes were runny, and the beef was EXTREMELY tough. Since our food was served first and it was cold, it was hard to imagine what was given to the guests. Many of my guests also shared stories about the staff literally pouring mashed potatoes out of a pitcher and they asked what it was because they thought it was gravy. I feel bad even having to type that out as the service was great as I had high hopes however, I was deeply dissatisfied by the food.

Jenn from Plaza Catering was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. We did our first tasting with Plaza Catering and tried some appetizers as well as many different entrees. I had my heart set on a butternut squash and bacon pasta dish with a browned butter sage sauce. I asked her if it was possible for them to make something not on their menu, and 10 minutes later she came back to our table and said there was butternut squash roasting in the oven and the pasta would be out in another 10-15 minutes. The week of the wedding she was so helpful. She contacted our venue to make sure they could bring the rental items (chairs and linens) the day before, and she even packed up leftovers for us after the wedding. She also made suggestions for the timeline of the wedding. This was all super helpful because we did not have a wedding planner. Everyone raved over the food, especially the pasta! I originally was worried about prices from them because their catering is connected with Cinzetti's in Overland Park, KS. Surprisingly, it was about the same as everyone else I had looked into, but the food was so much more amazing. What's nice about their pricing is it is all Inclusive, there aren't any added fees or anything. I would highly recommend them

We got many compliments from our guests on how good the food tasted from Plaza Catering. We worked with Jenn on all the details of the food for our day. She was extremely patient with us and even let us come back for a second full tasting when we didn’t like the original sauce put on the steaks. The tastings were very generous and fun without any pressure at all to book. Jenn also checked with a local vendor to supply treats for a special surprise for our guests that we requested. She completely took care of this for us and worked with our reception venue to keep it a surprise. They also had one of the most affordable prices we could find and with great tasting, fresh food. They were recommended by our venue and definitely came through.

Jenn Wilson is wonderful to work with! We searched for a long time trying to find the best catering; Plaza Catering was it! The food was amazing! Plaza Catering also provided our desserts for us since we did a dessert bar instead of a cake. I was pleased with everything Jenn and her staff did for us. Everything was set up and ready for us when we arrived. They cleaned up quickly without even being noticed. Several guests commented on how delicious our food was and I agree 100%. Thank you so much for being a part of our special day!

Rolfe was amazing and very helpful through the whole meal planning process. The plates & silverware that came with the package were beautiful. The food was AMAZING, we are still getting compliments about it! They served the cake, brought coffee and apple cider, and packaged everything up very nicely for us at the end of the night. Couldn't have asked for more from a caterer!
Thanks so much!

We were so happy with our caterer. Rolfe was so fun to work with as we put together our menu for our reception. The staff was so professional throughout our reception. Everything was so delcious and we were able to offer our guests a good variety and stay within our budget. We wanted to do any ice cream bar and they made it happen for us too. I would definitely recommend Plaza Catering!

Plaza Catering was wonderful and affordable! I could not have asked for any better. Plus they did all my cake cutting and serving as well as service of the toast. Rolfe was a joy to work with and made everything so easy. I could text him any time with any question and he would gratefully answer. The food was fantastic too. All the guests loved it, even the kiddos! We chose the Italian style buffet. We had a chicken and fish dish available. No one complained, and the groom and I ate plenty too. :) I would definitely recommend them. Oh yes, and the buffet comes with a dessert, so I had them make the groom's cake. So easy and cost efficient.

Let me start by saying, there was no question about my catering choice when I got engaged! Prior to my engagement, I worked as an event coordinator for a law firm. We had a open house with 500 attendees for the grand opening of our new office. We chose Plaza Catering because we loved their food, they were full-service, and were reasonably priced. When all was said and done, the entire event went flawless because of Plaza Catering!
After the large open house we hosted several smaller events, which Plaza Catering catered for us. Throughout these parties, Plaza Catering went out of their way to provide excellent food that varied in style and themes. They continued to be very flexible to our needs, extremely professional, and went above and beyond the minimum service.
I'm so excited to have a team like Plaza Catering for my KC wedding in 2013!
