Christiani's VIP Catering Service 

5.0

Des Moines, IA
  • Starts at $1,100
  • Serves Iowa

Christiani's VIP Catering was founded over 40 years ago by lifelong partners Larry & Carol Christiani. These two, with family, have turned a passion into a profession! Originating from the east coast, Christianis has brought "New England Flare" to the Des Moines Metro!

We loved working with Christiani's VIP Catering Service for our wedding! Their communication was always fast, responsive, clear and detailed which made planning super easy. The quality and value were fantastic - the food was delicious with beautiful plating, and they offered great vegan and gluten-free options to accommodate all our guests. They were very timely in their setup and service the day-of, and we got tons of compliments from guests raving about the amazing food and service! There were so many positive remarks on their customer service as well. We would highly recommend Christiani's - they helped make our wedding day special and stress-free when it came to the food and catering.

Additionally, we offer various rental services such as pipe & drape, ice cream machines, table & chairs, and slushy machines. Please view our website or contact us for menu options.

We hired Cater2U2 to cater appetizers, desserts and 525 dinner meals for our wedding reception. Communication before the event was great - quick responses and patience with our many questions! The day-of team was amazing - set up, food service, breakdown and cleanup was done efficiently in the background. Cater2U2 served warm pretzels with cheese and pasta salad cup appetizers, and then a phenomenal dinner buffet with salad, corn, roasted carrots, fruit salad, roast beef and fried chicken. The staff helped buffet lines move smoothly and our entire guest list was served very quickly. For dessert, Cater2U2 provided a variety of pies and soft serve ice cream. They also provided bartending services. We’re a month out from our reception, and are still hearing great things about the food served from our guests. We 11/10 would recommend the food, staff and service at Cater2U2!!

The Tangerine Food Company 

5.0

Des Moines, IA
  • Starts at $600
  • Serves Iowa

The Tangerine Food Company offers outstanding catering services to the Des Moines community. We strive to make your event special and memorable. Our food is freshly prepared and sourced locally from farmers markets and community producers. Your event will be special from the first delicious cocktail to the last bite of sumptuous dessert. Cherry and Susan share a passion for fresh food, well-prepared and beautifully displayed. They have been preparing food together socially and professionally for almost two decades.

We booked Tangerine Food Co. from the recommendation of a wedding planner in the area, because we don’t live there and aren’t able to taste test anything. We were absolutely thrilled with our food, which were hors-d’œuvres during cocktail hour, a large buffet dinner, and a dessert table as well as our cutting cake. Everything was fresh, hot and DELICIOUS! We had so many guests comment on how good the food was, which doesn’t always happen at weddings. Pernilla the owner was wonderful to work with, super communicative, and an all around lovely person. They also were able to accommodate a few different food allergies because I can’t eat gluten and even had options for vegetarian entrees. If I had to do it all over again, Tangerine would be my first vendor booked. 11/10 HIGHLY recommend.

We used A'BriTin catering for our wedding and our guests raved about the food! We knew we didn't want traditional wedding fare and wanted a BBQ theme so we selected items like pulled pork, corn, and mac & cheese which was everyone's favorite. Highly recommend using A'BriTin for any of your event needs- not only is their food delicious but their staff is also super helpful and friendly!

Feedwell Kitchen & Bakery Catering 

5.0

Cedar Rapids, IA
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Iowa

Feedwell Kitchen & Bakery is a dream realized through the friendship of chefs Melanie Abu-Nameh and Holly Ervin. Like many friendships, theirs began with margaritas–well, a margarita tennis event where Melanie probably had a vodka soda and Holly a gin and tonic. But, nonetheless, they discovered similar passions for family, friends, travel, and FOOD! This is where “Kitchen”(Chef Mel) met “Bakery” (Chef Holly).

Mel and Lucas catered my husbands 40th birthday party and did an amazing job! The variety (and QUALITY) of the food was so impressive and everyone commented on how delicious it was. The Feedwell staff care about their clients and definitely exceeded my expectations. We loved them so much we used them for our cousins wedding brunch a few months later and frequently order items for our family holidays as well! We can't get enough of Feedwell!!!!!
