Katies Catering,

13511 East 198th Street, Peculiar, MO 64078

"We hired Katie as our wedding caterer. Katie was easy to work with and we were able to make payments towards our total which made a big difference. We did buffet style meal and used her bar services. Katie gifted us with a charcuterie board which was a HUGE hit during cocktail hour. Bartending staff was great. Catering staff were found sitting on their phones when there was work to be done and help was clearly needed. As far as the food, it was okay for a wedding meal the chicken was dry and the carrots were over seasoned."

"We recently attended a wedding that Katie catered. The charcuterie board was great when we when through. The food was presented fine - and tasted good - but it was very cold. Everyone at our table said the food was cold and the table next to us said the same thing. It was disappointing as the meat I had was ice cold and I couldn’t eat it. I did enjoy the green beans and potatoes - although they were a bit chilly too but I ate them as I was starving. If you are thinking using Katie’s - make sure you state you want the food warm!!!"

"I highly recommend Katie’s Catering for wedding services. Katie was extremely friendly and easy to communicate with through the tasting and booking processes and leading up to the wedding and day of. She and her staff went the extra mile to make sure the food and display for our wedding was top quality. Our venue did not have a designated kitchen space and Katie and her team brought extra tables and equipment to make it work with our guest count of 250. The charcuterie table was an absolute hit and we had many guests compliment the food. Thank you so much Katie!"

"We were very disappointed in the catering company. The wedding cake was leaning when they put it on the dessert table. It was very obvious to all. To our knowledge none of the staff made any attempt to rectify the problem whatsoever. The cupcakes were very small and the icing was messy and did not cover many of the cupcakes completely. It looked like they were a rush decorating job and no where near the size one would expect for a formal event. Also, an entire bag of icing and attached icing tip were found the next morning in the commercial refrigerator - were we to finish icing the cupcakes? The caterer knew the post-ceremony timeline had a 1 hour cocktail hour before the bride and groom even entered the reception hall for first dances. (Dinner was scheduled 1.5 hrs after beginning of cocktail hour.) A charcuterie table was made available during cocktail hour and it was a well-done presentation, except that the brides colors weren't taken into consideration as communicated to the caterer and a burnt orange runner was used on the table and it completely clashed with the wedding colors! At the time the guests entered the reception venue for cocktail hour, the caterer already had the food on the buffet line along with the rolls in the serving basket. Needless to say, when it came time for guests to go through the buffet line the food was not hot (even with sterno cans under pans) and the rolls were cold and hard. The only thing that met our expectations was the tossed green salad and the balsamic vinaigrette dressing was very good. The food was cold and the roasted vegetables were nothing close to "roasted", they were mushy and soggy, appeared they were never roasted, more like over-steamed. Leftover pans of food were covered and left out on counters in the commercial kitchen and not placed in refrigerators before the catering company left the venue. All the food went to waste because it was not put in the refrigerators 3 feet away! The rented chargers (gold) were mismatched and several looked like they needed to be retired (scratched and chipped); not very professional looking. Having mismatched chargers on the same table really looks bad. The bartending staff was excellent and did a great job with the signature drink provided and the beer, wine & champagne. They were communicative and let us know if they had any questions. I would NOT recommend Katie's Catering to any friends or family in the KC area. Do your due diligence when hiring a cater and I would definitely check the BBB; we have seen some not very positive comments with the BBB as well!!"

"What attracted us to this vendor was the variety of options and the display, while still being fair in prices. When you book with Katie, she throws in the fancy-looking plastic flatware and dinnerware, as well as a full spread charcuterie board for cocktail hour! She also ended up serving our guests from the buffet as an extra kindness because of Covid and we had so many kiddos and pregnant mommas. We got a mini dessert bar from her as well and it was a big hit. She has rental options available as well! My only complaint is that she had said she wanted to personalize the charcuterie board for us, so we told her we love pigs in a blanket and boneless chicken wings, and were fully expecting to have them, but then they weren't there. I don't know if she forgot about them or what happened, but we were disappointed we didn't get to have our favorite appetizers like we thought we would."
