10/10 -- super allergen friendly with no compromise on flavor
This food was excellent and not just "excellent for a wedding." Wedding food can be forgettable but I assure you, th...
is was not the case. Being a GF/DF bride, and having a lot of friends with allergies-- egg, almond, GF, DF, vegan, etc., a big concern was ensuring safety, plentiful options for all guests, and taste (my husband was our taster for the cheesy options). I assure you, we made no concessions in planning our menu. Our entire menu ended up being entirely gluten friendly with only croutons requiring a substitutions and Danielle reached out the week before with one substitution to make all of our appetizers dairy free! This ensured that all allergies were able to walk around and confidently any option and even the vegans had options. The Blue Pot staff were knowledgeable which added another layer of confidence for my friends, and because their menu was so transparent, I posted what we were serving on our website. I have been to numerous weddings where I couldn't eat or I could only eat a plateful of one item. The peace of mind Blue Pot and Danielle gave me is... truly priceless.
Lastly, we planned our wedding in KCMO from the east coast. When a hiccup with our trial happened and we couldn't do it at their location, they packed us a tasting in a bag-- take-out style. After our tasting, we felt confident ordering any item off their menus.
The sesame tuna cones and the bacon wrapped dates in particular were a huge hit at the cocktail hour! As was the caesar salad- even my husband is still talking about it.
Blue Pot was AWESOME for our wedding catering. The food was crazy good and we got so many compliments from guests. They catered to any guests with dietary restrictions and the serv...
ice was incredible. We loved our tasting and they were so accommodating and helpful and all so nice! We are so happy they catered our wedding and would absolutely recommend to anyone and would hire them again for any other event in the future!

Best. Wedding. Food. EVER! The food was incredible. It tasted just as fresh and hot at the wedding as it did at the tasting. They were so accommodating to work with and individuali...
zed the menu so it was exactly what my daughter and her fiance wanted. The guests raved about the food, both the passed appetizers and the entree. I would use them again for all catering needs. The food was so good that I have already had a friend call and ask who we used so that she could use them for her daughter's wedding as well! Job well done.
Working with Blue Pot for our November 11, 2023 wedding was a breeze! We loved their appetizer and brunch options, which were a perfect fit for our morning ceremony and felt the co...
st was very reasonable for the quality of food and service. They were responsive throughout the planning process and worked closely with our planner as the big day approached. They promptly issued a refund when an error in billing was discovered. When we found out our venue closed just 9 days before the wedding, they coordinated with Supply Events to bring pedestals for the ceremony since the new venue was farther away. We had a number of last minute cancellations and in order to avoid a lot of leftovers, we asked if they could donate the boxed lunches originally planned for the vendors so they could eat the buffet. The only issue we experienced were items started to run out by the time the last table went through the buffet. The food was delicious and set up beautifully. The staff was kind and courteous. Our guests still talk about the food and service! We highly recommend Blue Pot for any catering needs.
I have worked with Blue Pot for multiple corporate lunches. To say they are wonderful is an understatement. They are punctual, communication is excellent, and the staff + chef are ...
so understanding and helpful! The food has been great as well. While I have not used them for a wedding, I will definitely look into them to cater my 2024 reception!
I never thought the wedding food would be one of the biggest hits of my wedding day. But thanks to Blue Pot, it was! My guests could not stop talking about how amazing the food was...
. The staff was attentive, helpful, and extremely kind to all the guest. I cant wait to work with Blue Pot again for future celebrations!

guests as particularly good. They arrived promptly with plenty of service staff who handled the appetizer, meal & beverage service efficiently & professionally. Highly recommend.
While I did not use The Blue Pot Catering for a wedding, rather for my father’s funeral luncheon, I could not recommend this group more! Mark and Danielle were kind and thoughtful ...
during what was a difficult time. The attention to detail was much appreciated as I was planning from out of town. Not to mention the custom menu they put together was absolutely delicious! Everyone was raving about the quality of everything we served and their wonderful employee Darla set up a professional buffet, never stopped working clearing plates, restocking and more. We returned from the cemetery to find the leftovers neatly packed away and ready for us to take home. You made a very emotional, sad occasion better by providing an incredible luncheon for all who attended! Thank you so much - words cannot express our gratitude! The Stilley Family
Blue Pot was probably one of the highlights of our wedding. I had a ridiculous number of people tell me it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Not only was their food ...
amazing, but they were also great with communication throughout the planning process. They also gave us several boxes of leftovers afterwards which was so kind. Definitely recommending Blue Pot to everyone I know!!
Our reception dinner from Blue Pot was everything we could have expected and more. Despite our venue not having a kitchen, Blue Pot was able to set up a station and cook everything...
to serve our plated dinner. And the food was just killer. The Hors d’oeuvres were BOMB. The wedge salad was delightful. The coffee rubbed steak and the mushroom ravioli - HOLY COW! The mushroom ravioli were especially mind-blowing because they were made in a way where even someone who doesn’t like mushrooms could (and did) enjoy! So many people had rave reviews of the food! For those doing a plated dinner though, I would suggest talking to Blue Pot about the timing of serving. I had never been to a wedding with plated dinners, and I will say, it did take a while for everyone to get their plates. We didn’t hear any complaints about that, but it just wasn’t something I thought about with this choice. As a final note, I just wanted to mention how personable Chef and his staff were. Chef came by our sweetheart table and personally served us our main dishes, thanked us, and offered well wishes, and this was just such a personal touch. The waiter who served us the rest of the night was also wonderful - very professional but so personable at the same time. We couldn’t be happier to have chosen Blue Pot for our big day.
I cannot even tell you the number of people who told me the food we had at our wedding was not only the best wedding food they ever had but also one of the best meals they ever ha...
d. The food Blue Pot created for our wedding day was absolutely amazing. From the passed appetizers to our plated dinner, everything was delicious. They were easy to work with and had excellent communication. Thank you for helping make our day so memorable

rubbed steak, mac & cheese, and potatoes. I will be thinking about that Caesar salad for a long time to come. The late night snack was also a perfect addition to our event. Blue Pot was so incredibly responsive, easy to work with, and has an amazing team. I am so happy we chose to work with them for our wedding.
Food was so delicious and different from the usual wedding food!
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Blue Pot as our caterer!! I've been in the wedding industry for 6 years. I knew long before I was engaged that I would ...
hire Blue Pot to cater my wedding. After working weddings with them I knew they had the best customer service. They are always such team players, always helping other vendors out. Their owner and chef, Mark, has such a calm presence. He makes just about any set up work and makes it look easy.
When I went for my tasting I was blown away. Mark created a custom vegan menu for us. The food was incredible and it was such an awesome experience. It was our one and only tasting! We knew from the beginning Blue Pot was our caterer. The entire process was so smooth. We ended up adding on late night snacks and rehearsal dinner. The food was incredible. We had a vegan wedding and we really wanted to impress our guests since it might be their first experience with an all-vegan meal. Blue Pot did just that!
I truly think the world of Blue Pot! I don't think there's a better caterer out there!! I'd hire them for my wedding a million times over again!!
Blue Pot is amazing. For starters, they answer the phone and are so easy to work with. The food is delicious and the service spectacular!

wedding day the staff went above and beyond to meet our needs. They lit all the candles on the tables, cut the cake (which was not made by them), and searched the entire venue for a missing cake stand. The staff was incredibly kind and went out of their way to make our day special. The food was phenomenal and all the guests were raving. Book Blue Pot Catering for your event! We can't recommend them enough!

t, large or small.
Blue Pot deserves a 15/10! We were set on hiring another big catering company in KCMO, but after meeting with Mark, the owner of Blue Pot, there simply was no question. Everything ...
we tried was so delicious. They personalized everything to what we wanted and helped us build out a menu that fit our guests. In a year of wedding planning during a pandemic, they were just fantastic to work with. So many of our wedding guests came up to us during and after our day to compliment the food and said things like "this was like no wedding reception food I've ever had" and "when can we have this again?". Everyone was blown away by how fresh and perfectly cooked every last thing was. Their team was fantastic to communicate with and there was absolutely 0 stress regarding the catering. I had Emailed them very last minute with a couple of questions and requests, and they came through no problem! I highly recommend Blue Pot to anyone trying to choose a KC catering company. I will not hesitate to hire them for any future events we are hosting! Our reception was at the Bardot in downtown KCMO and they had no issues having passed appetizers on the rooftop and serving dinner from their prep kitchen.
We hired Blue Pot during Covid last year, when we had to hastily move from a 200-person wedding at a venue to a 50-person wedding under a tent in our backyard. Blue Pot came throug...
h with flying colors! Not only did they set up their own prep tent outside, but the food was so delicious! Everyone raved about it. They passed appetizers and then served a plated sit-down dinner. Food was anything but ordinary! Incredibly professional and easy to work with! Love them to the moon and back!
Chef Mark and his team were all amazing to work with! Our tasting was phenomenal and the meal on our wedding night was just as good! I had emailed back and forth on details with Da...
nielle and she was super prompt and helpful as well. They brought us appetizers before the ceremony for the groom's cottage and bridal suite and that was a huge hit! They folded our napkins just how I pictured it and that added a great pop of color to our tables. We did buffet style and they served the food from the buffet line for our guests, everyone was able to go through in a timely manner and it felt very clean and comfortable. The food - WOW it was so good! We still have been getting texts from guests asking who catered because they loved the food so much!! Everyone was so nice, the food was delicious, we would definitely recommend Blue Pot!

We selected Blue Pot to cater our wedding last fall, and it was easily one of our best decisions in the wedding planning process. Mark and the staff were unbelievable! We were bl...
own away by the tastes, presentation, and menu options. Mark provided excellent feedback throughout the process and graciously worked with us through many change requests. We sampled several competitors prior to making our tasting appointment with Blue Pot, and there was simply no comparison. Moreover, Blue Pot's pricing was also on par with some of those options, which was shocking as we would have gladly paid a premium. We can't thank Mark and his staff enough for making our day taste as good as it felt.
Really good food that was hot and fresh and excellent service. We had passed appetizers and a dinner buffet and they made sure there were plates of apps at the head table so my hus...
band and I actually got to try everything. It was so good. They got about 200 people through the buffet so quickly and calmly. They were great communicators leading up to the event and just made me feel really confident in their ability to successfully serve--and they did just that. Can't recommend them enough.
Wow…words can’t express my thanks for such a lovely dinner for our reception. EVERYONE came up to us and complimented how great the food was. They were all laughing as they said “w...

ing able to speak directly with the chef, Mark Juhnke, as we worked through options & made decisions about what we wanted. We had passed appetizers & a buffet-style dinner. Everything went smoothly & our guests RAVED about the food. From table set-up to packaging up our leftovers at the end of the night, the Blue Pot Catering staff exceeded our expectations. I communicated most with Kelly leading up to the wedding, and she was wonderful to work with! We found Blue Pot Catering to be very accommodating when it came to a few special requests we had and in meeting the needs of a few of our guests with special dietary needs. We cannot recommend them more highly!

We were not sure we would be able to find a reasonably priced caterer to give her what she wanted that was a good meal as well. Mark and the staff at Blue Pot came through with fabulous food and service. Our guests raved about the appetizers and the duel plated beef and chicken meal. Everything was delicious! I highly recommend Blue Pot.

ns, because Blue Pot did a wonderful job catering our wedding! During my initial correspondence with Mark, he was prompt, provided several menu options and offered a full tasting prior to booking. Mark worked with us to create a custom BBQ buffet menu that our guests raved about! He took into consideration my husband’s food allergies and offered a full buffet menu that also included passed appetizers and a large dessert display at a very reasonable price. Mark and his team also assisted in ordering all the linen, flatware and china rentals. On our wedding day, Mark and his team were punctual, professional and courteous. Joe, our Banquet Captain for the evening, was so sweet! She set aside trays of appetizers for the wedding party to enjoy and made sure my husband and I were served at the head table. The staff was even kind enough to assist in serving drinks for the head table throughout the reception. Outside of the wonderful service, the food was delicious! We received so many compliments from our guests! Thank you, Mark, Kelly and the entire Blue Pot staff for making July 7th, 2018 the most perfect day!
