“The Wild Thyme Company was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding catering. From our first interaction, their communication was clear, helpful and attentive - answering all of our questions thoroughly and putting us at ease throughout the planning process. They also pitched in ideas for additional rentals and reviewed our final rentals list to make sure we were covered. On the day of our wedding, their staff was friendly and professional, ensuring the food service went off without a hitch. The quality of their work was truly outstanding - the presentation of the dishes was beautiful, and our guests raved about how delicious and filling the meal was, from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the entrees. We were blown away by the value we received, as the food was worth every penny. Of course, there were some unplanned moments and guests, all of which were quickly and professionally taken care of by TWTC whether it be an additional plate or serving. The tasting we did prior to the big day was also such a memorable experience, with the chef and event coordinator going above and beyond to make us feel special. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience, and we're so grateful to The Wild Thyme Company for helping make our wedding day so perfect.”

“"Literally The Best Wedding Food I've Ever Had." -Guest at our wedding If you are even thinking about booking Americano for your wedding, stop thinking and DO IT. Hiring them was single-handedly the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process. We knew we wanted our food to be a highlight, not an afterthought, and the Americano team delivered a culinary experience that was beyond our wildest dreams. Our guests are still raving about it weeks later! From our very first inquiry, their catering manager (Beni) and team were an absolute dream to work with. They were responsive, incredibly organized, and genuinely excited about creating a menu that felt personal to us. They took our vision and elevated it with creative ideas, turning the tasting into one of our favorite pre-wedding memories. They made the entire process feel completely seamless and stress-free. Now, let's talk about the food on the wedding day. Show-stopping. We had the burrata with prosciutto and fig jam for a starter, and people were losing their minds over how fresh and flavorful it was. For mains, the slow-braised short rib literally melted in your mouth, and the sea bass was cooked to absolute perfection. It wasn't just "good wedding food"—it was exceptional food, period. The presentation was stunning, the ingredients were top-tier, and everything was served hot and flawlessly. Multiple guests—including our pickiest family members—pulled us aside to say it was the most delicious and memorable meal they had ever had at a wedding. Americano didn't just cater our wedding; they created an unforgettable experience that became a core memory of our celebration. They are worth every single penny and then some for the impact they will have on your day. Book them. You will be so, so happy you did!”

“Chef Cooper and his team are an amazing group of people. I did not have to worry about a single thing in regards to food for my wedding reception. My reception was only 40ppl so, if you are having a small wedding reception, definitely look into Krafted Culture to cater it. I looked into other caterers before I came across Krafted Culture but their minimum to cater started at 60ppl and up. Communication was excellent through the entire process and customizing menu to accommodate allergies and vegan guests was not an issue. Everyone loved the food, especially the tri-tip! What was also convenient is that they also rent out tables, chairs, and table linens. Highly recommend!”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Glad Mouf for catering my wedding, and I am so glad I did! From the very beginning, their communication was seamless and professional. They listened carefully to all my needs and provided thoughtful suggestions that made the entire process stress-free. The team at Glad Mouf truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for my special day. The food was absolutely incredible! The oxtail was tender and flavorful, cooked to perfection with a rich, savory sauce that had just the right amount of seasoning. Every bite was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The crab fried rice was another standout—packed with juicy crab meat and a delicious combination of flavors. It was the perfect balance of savory and just the right amount of richness. I’ve had many versions of crab fried rice, but this one was top-tier. As for the overall experience, the quality and value of their work were exceptional. The portions were generous, and the food was served fresh and hot, even though they were catering to a large crowd. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was. Glad Mouf’s dedication to their craft really shone through, and they contributed to making my wedding day even more memorable.
