Awarded Best of Zola
Since our venue did not have a preferred vendor list or a built-in catering team, we were given maximum flexibility (which is also intimidating, as the choice and freedom can be a bit overwhelming). To help narrow things down, our planner prompted us to choose a single type of cuisine that we like, and work from there. We both love New Orleans / Cajun cuisine, so enter My House. From their first proposal, we were all in. It featured childhood favorites like fried catfish, and out-of-the-ordinary passed appetizers like mini chicken & waffles. Our first calls with them were relaxed, collaborative and informative. Our first tasting, while kinda pricey (isn't everything?), went really well - and gave us a chance to provide more feedback and tweaks, which were promptly applied to later estimates and menus. As our planning evolved, it was a little tough to try to keep the budget in check, and it meant making some tough calls to cut costs (for instance - jettisoning late night bites), My House was always willing to work with both us and our planner on finding financial solutions - but there were a few moments where we felt like we didn't know what to expect, and stressed out a bit when we saw the latest numbers. I suppose this is part of the process for lots of couples. I never lost faith that they'd turn it out on the big day, and I'm happy to share that they did just that. They created an incredibly tasteful display for our buffet, which struck a balance between rustic and elegant. The staff was helpful, efficient, and professional - but I want to give special highlight to Simone. Simone was personable, diligent and intuitive. She knows exactly what she's doing, any couple would be very lucky to have her running any aspect of their event - because she does it with aplomb. The food was absolutely delicious. Big, bold flavors - zesty, crunchy, creamy, smoky, cheesy, sweet and spicy and everything in between . We loved hosting such a delectable menu that departed from the traditional wedding fare, but stayed true to the cuisine of New Orleans and the tastes of Southern comfort. So, so, so, so good!

Selecting a caterer for our wedding was a very daunting task. So many caterers to choose from, all at different price levels and various offerings. After interviewing a handful of companies, we decided to go with the team at Krafted Culture. From the beginning Chef Cooper was attentive to our vision, and our budget. He helped guide us along the path from beginning to our wedding day. Chef Cooper was always punctual, reliable, respectful and honest. He truly had our best interests at heart. At our tasting, we knew we had made the right choice. The food was phenomenal. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the entire layout of our wedding changed 4 days prior to the big day. Chef Cooper was very instrumental in collaborating with our wedding coordinator and made sure that the changes would not affect his service. On the day of Chef and his team were on time, ready to work and pleasant with our guests. Our guests did not have to wait long for their meal and they all loved the food, especially the Caribbean Chicken. If we had to do it all over again we would not hesitate to hire Krafted Culture. If you are looking for a professional caterer that provides quality food and excellent day of service at a very fair price, look no further than Chef Cooper and his team at Krafted Culture.

Dream caterer! From start to finish, it was a delicious and unique dining experience that would not have been possible without Mel Walker's flexibility during the planning process. GourMel seamlessly integrated family-style dinner service at our request, plus custom cocktails, mocktails and non-traditional desserts. Mel shaped our dinner into something people raved about for the next year. With a deep bench of menu options, we appreciated how Mel talked us through how dishes could work together or be approached differently. Mel's team was amazing and checked on us throughout the wedding. We wanted for nothing! Her service staff is the best in town. Mel choreographed our entire day, facilitated rentals, entertainment and kept up right on schedule. She and her staff sent us off with a surprise picnic dinner with plates, forks, napkins and wine since they knew we didn't eat much due to socializing so much. GourMel goes above and beyond in every way.
