Kristina's Catering — Local services in Shelby Charter Township

If you are looking for a caterer, stop- Kristina’s is it! Skeptical person that I am, I set up a tasting dinner with them before booking for our wedding. An extra expense, but I needed to be certain we would be offering our guests the best- I am known for my cooking and knew our guests would expect top-notch food. It was love at first bite. The tasting dinner was incredible and the staff were so friendly and helpful, we knew immediately that Kristina’s was the right choice. It’s not just a business- they are food people too. Through the whole process they were responsive and offered much-needed guidance, as well as working hard to accommodate our requests. Day of… wow. Liz, our catering manager, was on top of everything. She and all the staff know their business so well; they are extremely professional but also fun and friendly! They made sure that the wedding party and our photographer had appetizers and drinks to enjoy while we did our photos after the ceremony, which made that so much more pleasant! And of course, the appetizers were incredible. At dinner, my husband and I never had to get up for food or drinks- the staff made sure we always had anything we wanted. I can’t overstate how helpful that was. They also served our cake and our late-night snack, which made all of that run smoothly. For cleanup, our venue manager was so impressed- she said it was the cleanest any caterer has ever left the site. Throughout the evening we received so many compliments about Kristina’s, and now, months later, our guests are still raving- about the food AND the service. So many people told us they have never had such good food at a wedding, or such incredible service. I don’t think I’ve ever even heard someone comment on the service at a reception before, so it was unexpected for that to be such a standout thing, but it was- the staff really did help make the day even better for all of us. If you’re undecided, I assure you that you can wait and have your tasting dinner after booking, if you need one at all… everything is delicious. Working with Kristina’s was the best choice we made for...

There are not enough wonderful things I can say for our catering experience at our wedding. Kristina's Catering was listed as a preferred vendor for our venue, and for good reason. From the moment I reached out expressing interest until the very last minute of our wedding, Kristina's team was absolutely amazing. We shared the idea of wanting a taco bar, and they absolutely ran with it. The communication was constant and constructive, the pricing was fair, the staff was incredible, and the food was AMAZING. We were able to come for a complimentary tasting, and even brought a friend along. At this tasting, they prepared the appetizers we selected as well as the entire taco bar, followed by some complimentary desserts in case we wanted to add. I cannot express how amazing this food was. I dream of the risotto arancini balls we selected. Their team was also incredibly accommodating of food allergies and dietary restrictions. They were patient when we needed to pick up napkins. Truly every single encounter we had with Kristina, Nicole and team was flawless and enjoyable.

Furthermore, we had minimally 10 people come up to us and say this was the best wedding food they ever had. Not only did they keep everything fresh and warm, but they arranged it in a way where folks could do a build-your-own style. The final lasting touch was a thoughtful card and gift basket they arranged for us. It meant so much to us.

Like I said at the beginning, there truly aren't enough positive things I can say about this vendor. I would recommend them to anyone hosting a large event. Thank you, team! THANK YOU x1000 for the wonderful event you created for us. Your staff, your food, your communication, and everything else in between was incredible and it made our...

This vendor is very snobby. I Inquired about having my venue staff (professional waitstaff mind you that I already had to pay for with my venue and was included in the 18k venue only package) serve the food to the actual guests in hopes we could save a little with the amount of people they would need to bring to our wedding, because we are already paying for it in the 18k price of the venue. Not an unreasonable question, it’s not like I was asking for half off the food by all means; Kristina’s could still plate it, make it all that of course, I would just supplement some of their serving staff with my own since again, I already am paying for it. This was their response: “Kristina’s doesn’t let venue staff serve our food. That’s not how we run our business. It seems like we aren’t a match. Goodluck with your celebration this summer.” It was such a rude and unprofessional email. My favorite was Goodluck with your celebration, with them knowing it was a wedding I was inquiring about, and an expensive one at that! So it makes me mad the way they belittled me for so much as asking a question. It left such a bad taste in my mouth. It also takes a lot for me to take the time to write a review because I usually just blow it off, but the way they acted was just rude and I hope the next person considering them, thinks twice because I’m sure their food is great, but their attitude is NOT.

Hopefully The Knot doesn’t let them delete reviews; although I wouldn’t be surprised because they don’t have a single negative one...
