“I absolutely loved working with Critics Choice Catering for our wedding! They were incredibly accommodating with our budget, which we truly appreciated. One of the biggest highlights was that the venue partners directly with Critics Choice, so having both the catering and tableware handled in-house removed so much stress from the planning process.
Kaycie was wonderful to work with — enthusiastic, organized, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. From our very first tour to the food tasting and final details meeting, she listened carefully to our needs and was always quick to respond to every text or call. Everything turned out picture-perfect, and it was magical seeing the venue transformed for our big day.
Kaycie also provided excellent vendor recommendations, which saved me so much time since we had a short planning timeline. We used her suggested photographer, florist, and bridal party makeup team, and they were all fantastic.
I highly recommend adding the day-of coordination with Kaycie and her team. I didn’t have to answer a single question on the wedding day — everything ran seamlessly. The coordinators were amazing, especially when I had a bustle mishap with my dress and they fixed it in seconds! They truly took care of us all evening, greeting us with drinks and appetizers upon arrival and managing the timeline perfectly.
The Critics Choice Catering chef curated a French-inspired wedding menu to reflect us as a Franco-American couple, and the ideas were absolutely amazing. We selected appetizers including a fruit and cheese board, goat cheese and onion puff pastry, and smoked salmon crème fraîche blinis. For dinner, we enjoyed a French winter pear, blue cheese, and endive salad, followed by boeuf bourguignon, magret de canard (duck breast), ratatouille, and gratin dauphinois potatoes. We even had a late-night snack of al pastor tacos with pineapple salsa, which was a huge hit!
The food tasting experience was excellent, and overall the food on the wedding day was outstanding. Unfortunately, the duck was slightly overcooked and a few of my immediate family members were served later than others, minimal complaints. Aside from that, everything was excellent — and the bartender was absolutely outstanding!
Overall, between the incredible catering, thoughtful menu, seamless coordination, and amazing service, Critics Choice Catering truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for an stress-free and delicious wedding experience.”
