CK Catering

the buffet. The disposable plates were still gorgeous and didn't diminish the atmosphere at all. All of the food was delicious and the staff were kind and helpful. We would definitely recommend!

tended plan, backyard wedding for 35, she was fantastic and was filled with helpful hints. The day went flawlessly with the serving staff of Ericka (leader ) who went above and beyond with all of her handling the day with Erin who also went above and beyond. Chef Jason and the food was very very good and everyone complimented the service and the food!! There is no doubt we would highly recommend CK Catering for your next event.

nd beyond to make our wedding day go as smooth as possible. The food was SO delicious~appetizers, dinner, dessert, and late night snacks! They were very accommodating when we decided to do 3 meal choices. We also used their linens, which was very convenient. I would 100% recommend CK Catering for anyone looking for a food caterer for their wedding or any other event!

ome good food as well! The CK Catering team (shout out to Alyssa and Melissa) was excellent in communication, and helped us craft a menu that was simple but also catered to various dietary restrictions. We went with a buffet-style meal, and it worked tremendously. We’ve had multiple people pull us aside to tell us it’s the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. We’re so happy CK Catering was able to satisfy all our guests and make our night so special!

you can add like dessert stations and late night snacks and other fun stuff. We did a charcuterie table for cocktail hour, mango salsa tilapia and lemon herb chicken as our mains buffet style, roasted veggies and gold potatoes with dill butter as sides, nachos as a late night snack and my favorite…ice cream sundae bar as part of our desserts! Everything was a hit. The guests LOVED the ice cream and nachos. They cut our tres leches for free and also set out our baklava. Literally everything was perfect!!! I want to thank Wendy for being so amazing throughout the planning process. I asked her soooo many questions and she was quick with responding. We had a couple of phone calls and she was incredibly helpful and made the process easier. 100% one of the best vendors I worked with during wedding planning!!!

hing went well for the wedding. She really helped to minimize the amount of stress for the big day. We also enjoyed that CK had private and group tastings. Yes, we did both, and we recommend doing both! Bob was great during the private tasting and answered all our questions. We are so thankful for CK Catering, the service they provided for our wedding, and the quality of their food (saying so as a bride who chose an OUTDOOR venue!).

with food allergies. Our only wish was that our day of person had been more a part of the planning process.

with and everything ran smooth on our wedding day!

o customize pieces of the menu to make the day what you want it to be. The food served at our wedding was hot, plentiful and well-made. A great company, that is good at what they do.

h food & appetizers you get. They also made the venue look absolutely beautiful with their setup. Bob was really accommodating during our tasting process, & the whole planning team was helpful before the wedding! Erica went above and beyond during the reception and saved a lot of cake for us when we weren’t able to have any. Would definitely recommend!

or. I do not think we had any leftovers, but keep in mind that they will not let you take it home as it could be a health code issue. Dietary allergies, restrictions were not a problem at all, which was a relief as some of our guests had some food allergies. Nonetheless, everyone I worked with was super helpful and communication was never an issue. Would definitely book with them again.

eschedule. The first time the person had a very good reason and we weren’t upset. However, the second time there was no reason of forgetting to even email us that they needed to reschedule, so instead we waited by our phone and computer for a hour.

aspect related to food on our special day. We had a shorter engagement period, so we were just really happy that CK was able to fit us into their already busy schedule. We decided to go with them for catering because the food we tried at the tasting was delicious, but the food on the day of our wedding was even more superb! All our guests complimented the food! Wendy was so helpful in guiding us through the process of planning everything and on our actual wedding day, CK's staff was so efficient that we didn't notice they were there until the food was already out. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

g, from the appetizers, dinner, dessert and late night pizza was outstanding. The wait staff was wonderful. I highly recommend CK catering.

group/open tasting and the presentation was done in a very inviting way but this was not the feeling through the remainder of the process. We went for a private tasting with just our parents meaning a group of 6 and I think we may have eaten less than one plate of food between the 6 of us. They put us in a room with mis-matched office chairs and sat around a table where we all ate the tiniest portions of food that were potentially going to be at our wedding. Not only were there extremely small portions but we were also limited to a handful of options. we were not able to try all of the options (I think 6 options to taste). Each time we discussed an option it was quickly and often mentioned the item would cost extra. "you want napkins folded?? that's a dollar extra.." stuff like this. we understand some items cost extra but it felt like the focus. In particular we wanted passed appetizers and not stationed we were told that they might not have the staffing to do this (6 months in advance) this cost us extra per person. They were often trying to get us to change our appetizer option to not be passed. They made it clear that other weddings were happening and that they could not make some options available for us. We felt like we weren't a priority and those discussions should be handled before the options were made available to us. Example: approximately 30 days before the wedding the display setting for the donuts and cider we were having was no longer going to be available because just 2 other weddings were happening that needed the display. No offer or solutions were extended to us until we purchased a display of our own. Keep in mind with their pricing, its a tier system. The options in the lower tiers are not great and seemed on the level of a pot luck. we were even told by one of the cooks that the beef option in tier 2 was so bad that they wouldn't offer it at the public tasting. Be prepared to go to higher tiers, but remember, you only get 6 options to try at the private tasting so choose wisely. Foodwise, the appetizers were good. They were premade and were a little cold on the day of but it was a cold and semi-outdoor wedding. The dinner was mediocre. The vegetables were bland (dill carrots and roasted potatoes). For the mains, The Carved Stations are the clear winners (Pork Tenderloin and Prime Rib). The prime rib was added after the private tasting, out of fear that the other meat options were going to be terrible. The maple chicken was clearly cooked prior and reheated, resulting in a dry chicken. The vegetarian meal was plated and served cold. The saving grace for everyone was the horseradish sauce that came with the prime rib. The desserts were great and highly recommend the Donuts and Cider. The late-night hotdogs were great. Talking with the owner in the end was a great help. He was the only person along the way that made us feel like a real customer and not a number. TLDR Food was average in taste and way below average for the price. For a large established company we expected much much more. Terrible customer service. Get the Donuts.

fered genuinely helpful recommendations to keep things more in budget. The day of service was also amazing and the food was delicious! We received great compliments. My favorites were the harvest salad with apple cider vinaigrette, the pork loin with red wine reduction sauce, and the horseradish and parmesan smashed potatoes. We also had a dessert bar of cider and donuts, which were the best -- the donuts come from a local orchard I grew up going to, so they were very special and delicious! And instead of passed appetizers, we did a charcuterie board, which was a huge hit. The staff day of were great at getting the salads and bread to tables for family style serving, then dismissing tables in an orderly fashion for buffet service. They also cut and plated our cake for us, which was great. You can't go wrong by choosing CK!

ts from the very beginning. It was a relief to be able to budget ourselves correctly and not have any surprises throughout our planning process. Second, the food was phenomenal. Our wedding night food tasted just like our tasting and our guests raved about it all evening! We couldn't have had a better experience with the quality of taste of the food. Superb! Third, they set up all of our desserts and cake for us, which was included in our catering package. They did a beautiful job making our mini pastry dessert table look so cute! They also went out of their way to check and order bamboo dessert and appetizer plates for us. Win! Lastly, the people from CK Catering were all wonderful to work with. Our coordinator went above and beyond during our set up calls to answer any and all questions and walk through each step thoroughly and the staff the night of - amazing! We were met with such kindness and so much help on our wedding night, it made our special night that much more special interacting with the wonderful CK staff that evening. From food to service to professionalism - CK knocked it out of the park!!!

ll receiving compliments from guests about how much they enjoyed the food and how professional and efficient the service was. All in all, we couldn’t imagine a more perfect day, and while we are so impressed with the day-of execution, none of that would have been possible without the incredible planning, communication and organization from the CK team behind the scenes from the very beginning stages leading up to the big day.

ing us everything we needed but also in planning the schedule for the day of. CK Catering worked with us to accommodate all allergies and dietary restrictions of our guests. The food was wonderful, and all of the day of staff was extremely professional and kind.

ess. We did one of the large group tastings which we loved because it demonstrated their ability to make food at a large scale. We thought the food at the tasting was delicious and found it very hard to narrow down the food we wanted to include at our wedding, because everything was so good! After we got our coordinator, we had a few calls as the timeline got closer to the wedding day to review our information and confirm timeline for the meal. Our one compliant is we did have some issues with our coordinator attending the calls and being responsive to our questions leading up to the day. The day of, they were fantastic to work with and we got through our dinner service as quickly as they had expected which was amazing given the size of our wedding (200 people). I would absolutely recommend CK Catering if you are getting married in the area!

dly and professional. The preparation before the big day as well as everything on the day itself worked absloutely flawlessly and we did not had to worry about anything. We highly recommend CK catering and definitively would work with them again.

d ones to choose from! Then we wanted to do something different so we had stations for dinner. Which was so fun because everyone got to try a little bit of everything. CK also was very accomadating for my family who has food allergies - they made them their own plates at no additional charge. They also had kids meals for my cousins children - which they all really appreciated! For dessert, we had the shooters, in addition to our cake, which are delicious! CK has a whole pre-wedding questionnaire/checklist that you go through with them a few months before the wedding to make sure everything is in place. The only complaint we have is that CK forgot the water station, which we went over with them and was suppose to be included in the full service package. They brought the coffee station, but not water so not sure what happened. So we had to pay more money to have our bartending service get more bottled water. But overall we recommend!

easily handled options for those with special food needs and the variety of food choices had something for everyone. Melissa is a pleasure to work with. She is customer focused and her food staff and wait staff are superb. We cannot recommend them high enough!!!!!!!

nough said. Val and Jay outstanding!!!

ecommend

, and we couldn’t have asked for a better menu! Pssssst get the pulled pork on a chip appetizers- it was my favorite food for the entire wedding 🤣

great suggestions as well. Bob is extremely accommodating. He was a pleasure to work with. The entire team was professional, service orientated and the food was SO GOOD! Everyone loved our non-traditional wedding menu and said it was the best wedding food they had eaten. Melissa is very organized and pays attention to your vision and does everything possible to make it happen. Thank you for everything!

were extremely helpful. Me and my husband are already wishing we could go back and eat more!

, silverware, dishware, linens, you name it! I am sure they can suit any style or need for each type of wedding or event. But the best part.... THE FOOD! My wife and I showed up to the tasting and were completely blown away. We thought we had a solid menu idea and decided to try some other meals during our tasting and it made the final menu decision much harder than we originally thought. Every single item was cooked to perfection! They put so much care into any allergies you or your guests may have. They even will go out of their way to feed one person in a crowd who may have a unique food restriction or allergy. The last part, the service. They are so professional, super responsive, so unbelievably nice, and they are quiet and quick to set up. Where our wedding was, there was potential for noise/viewing of the truck during the ceremony as they came to set up, but the CK Catering staff took so much care to ensure they did not disturb or disrupt any part of the ceremony during their set up. I would definitely recommend them to anyone on the South West portion of Michigan

reat meal too. Both of us don’t like cake so we did their dessert in a mason jar and I was more than happy with that choice every single one was delicious!! The staff they sent were all so nice and great to work with not only that day but leading up to the wedding! I highly recommend them!!

ing was also really fun and I suggest you do that! I love all the options they had for everythingggggg.

n we were in town, which was very nice and helpful! Our wedding day turned out to be during a heat wave but everything still tasted and looked wonderful. Our cheesecake bar could have used some cooling as the heat got to the cheesecake later in the evening, but not much you can do with the weather. Overall, we had a great experience with the CK team and they took amazing care of our guests!

e table settings was classy and mostly included with the price of food although we paid for some upgrades. Staff did a great job the day off to make sure everyone got their correct meal.

by that time I was famished and just inhaled the food, so hardly had time to even taste it, but the spinach salad was fresh as promised, the carved roast beef tender, mashed potatoes full of yummy carbs that I was craving as I'd cut them from my diet pre-wedding, and grilled, local asparagus delicious. We were disappointed in the sea bass and had an issue with the appetizers (nothing horrid, just not exactly what we asked for or expected), which is why I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5. However, when Bob at CK realized that there was lack of communication in the type of sea bass they use and their staff got confused about the appetizer service d/t poor communication, he quickly apologized and offered a partial refund without us even asking! Talk about customer service!! Overall, we were very pleased with CK Catering and recommend them for your special event :)

was absolutely delicious! Our wedding was originally scheduled for June but we postponed to October due to COVID-19. CK Catering was flexible with our date change and answered all of our questions we had regarding how we could modify the dinner service given the pandemic. They also had an outdoor group tasting in the summer that allowed us to safely taste all of the food options before finalizing our menu ahead of the wedding. We had originally planned for a buffet style serving at our wedding but COVID obviously changed that. As a replacement option, CK offered an alternative where staff behind glass served up what guests chose. The modified service worked great and we received rave reviews from our guests about the food & service. We were very happy with the safety protocols that CK Catering had in place. Everything with our wedding was perfect and CK Catering was a big part of helping make sure that happened. We loved using them and would highly recommend them to anyone else planning a wedding. Thank you! -Mr & Mrs. Lamson

e day of our wedding was a struggle with them. They tried to charge us more than the price they originaly quoted, then they actually overcharged us (double check your bill), extremely unfelixable, their front office staff was rude and difficult to work with. We had a COVID wedding and all of our other venders were willing to work with us CK Catering up-charged us for things that needed to be adjusted pre COVID guidelines. I will say that on the day of our wedding the food was delicious. Thank goodness! If you want good food and a massive headache (due to their incompetence) go with CK Catering!

as pleased with the quality of the food.
