Ck Catering - Benton Harbor

CK Catering supplied all the food for our wedding at 12 Corners Vineyard last month. Everyone at our wedding was complimenting us on the food it truly was amazing!! I think we are all still dreaming of the vegetarian lasagna who knew that would be such a hit? It was incredible!!! CK was super easy to work work, they managed all the details, all I had to do was pick stuff. Wish they opened a restaurant so I could eat their food again! Words cannot describe how grateful we are. Use them for your wedding or event I promise you will not be disappointed!

CK catering did a fantastic job at the wedding I recently coordinated! As a planner, it is so great to work with an amazing catering team who helps make the day effortless. Thank you for your hard work and good food!

CK Catering was an absolute joy to work with every step of the way. Our Coordinator Annabelle was a total rockstar. She was incredibly helpful and accommodating not only with getting us everything we needed but also in planning the schedule for the day of. CK Catering worked with us to accommodate all allergies and dietary restrictions of our guests. The food was wonderful, and all of the day of staff was extremely professional and kind.

We hired CK Catering for our 150+ guest wedding on September 17, 2022 and overall had a wonderful experience!To kick-off our planning process with them, we attended one of the group tastings at a local venue and were pleasantly surprised at how much we were able to accomplish during that time (i.e. narrowed down our apps, salad, entree sides and overall place settings), while still getting a sense for the level of service the CK team would ultimately end up providing. We also did a private tasting with Chef Bob in order to narrow down our main entrees and have the opportunity to taste them straight from the kitchen. The rest of the process was seamless due to the great line of communication we had Gale leading up to the big day.We received generally positive feedback from our guests, specifically around the assortment of appetizers at cocktail hour, the amazing sides that were paired with entrees and the amazing service they experienced during the plated dinner service. The only shortcoming we were made aware of was around the temperature of entrees for the guests who sat in the back half of our reception space, which were lukewarm (but not detrimental by any means, as it likely could have been in part to the floor layout we had, which was long and narrow).We’d recommend CK to anyone looking to host an event in the area, and look forward to leveraging their services in the future!

We booked CK for our wedding in September of this year 2022. The pre wedding details were great and the communication with Bob was excellent. With this we felt very confident going into a 125-150 person wedding with them as our food vendor. To our dismay, they dropped the ball immensely when it actually came to the execution of the promised services, on our wedding day. Day of the wedding, THE CHEF DID NOT SHOW! We had paid for a full dinner service, but we also paid for multiple cocktail hour apps, wait service, and a snack tray to take with the bridal party for offsite photos. As my husband and I were leaving our ceremony, (30 mins post ceremony as we were taking family photos), we headed out for offsite photos only to discover NO food was prepared or being served to our guest now 30+ mins into cocktail reception. When I asked the staff what was going on, they replied with “the chef did not show”. I’m sorry what…This caused so much unnecessary stress, and the unprofessionalism of the chef not showing derailed all my faith in recommending them to anyone who wants to avoid an inexcusable error on their big day. To keep from derailing our photos, my family members and coordinator had to handle the nonsense while we proceeded offsite. A chef finally showed an hour late, so cocktail hour had no food till an hour and a half in, given the food didn’t even start being prepared till nearly two hours post ceremony. Additionally, without communicating this to us, their dish and linen delivery team came to drop off all the items the day prior to the wedding, which also caused stress given they were not expected till the day of with the catering team. Due to this, we were in full blown prep mode, and did not have a place to store all these things. The CK team left the dishes outside on the turf tented reception area, and they were covered in dew and bugs the next day, warranting a new delivery and full cleaning anyways. I had addressed these concerns with Melissa the Friday before, and the dishes still remained outside and left prior to schedule. The actual service and quality we received on our wedding was a long fall from the tasting or service we received in booking. The protein was better at the tasting than on event day, the service was way better in pre booking than on event day, the value for the money severely declined on event day, and their scheduling and ensuring both linens, flatware, and food were on time were all fails. Massive disappointment for such a huge expense, as well as for the insane amount of time I spent with their team detailing even the smallest things to ensure there were no issues. By far the largest let down and stress inducing vendor on the wedding day. Use with caution!!!!
