Christiani's VIP Catering Service 

5.0

Des Moines, IA
  • Starts at $1,100
  • Serves Iowa

Christiani's VIP Catering was founded over 40 years ago by lifelong partners Larry & Carol Christiani. These two, with family, have turned a passion into a profession! Originating from the east coast, Christianis has brought "New England Flare" to the Des Moines Metro!

We loved working with Christiani's VIP Catering Service for our wedding! Their communication was always fast, responsive, clear and detailed which made planning super easy. The quality and value were fantastic - the food was delicious with beautiful plating, and they offered great vegan and gluten-free options to accommodate all our guests. They were very timely in their setup and service the day-of, and we got tons of compliments from guests raving about the amazing food and service! There were so many positive remarks on their customer service as well. We would highly recommend Christiani's - they helped make our wedding day special and stress-free when it came to the food and catering.

Cater 2U2 

5.0

Chariton, IA
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Iowa

Cater 2U2 is a family-owned catering business specializing in weddings and large events. We offer a wide range of menu options and appetizers for your special day. Additionally, we offer various rental services such as pipe & drape, ice cream machines, table & chairs, and slushy machines. Please view our website or contact us for menu options.

We hired Cater2U2 to cater appetizers, desserts and 525 dinner meals for our wedding reception. Communication before the event was great - quick responses and patience with our many questions! The day-of team was amazing - set up, food service, breakdown and cleanup was done efficiently in the background. Cater2U2 served warm pretzels with cheese and pasta salad cup appetizers, and then a phenomenal dinner buffet with salad, corn, roasted carrots, fruit salad, roast beef and fried chicken. The staff helped buffet lines move smoothly and our entire guest list was served very quickly. For dessert, Cater2U2 provided a variety of pies and soft serve ice cream. They also provided bartending services. We’re a month out from our reception, and are still hearing great things about the food served from our guests. We 11/10 would recommend the food, staff and service at Cater2U2!!

The Tangerine Food Company 

5.0

Des Moines, IA
  • Starts at $600
  • Serves Iowa

The Tangerine Food Company offers outstanding catering services to the Des Moines community. We strive to make your event special and memorable. Our food is freshly prepared and sourced locally from farmers markets and community producers. Your event will be special from the first delicious cocktail to the last bite of sumptuous dessert. Cherry and Susan share a passion for fresh food, well-prepared and beautifully displayed. They have been preparing food together socially and professionally for almost two decades.

We booked Tangerine Food Co. from the recommendation of a wedding planner in the area, because we don’t live there and aren’t able to taste test anything. We were absolutely thrilled with our food, which were hors-d’œuvres during cocktail hour, a large buffet dinner, and a dessert table as well as our cutting cake. Everything was fresh, hot and DELICIOUS! We had so many guests comment on how good the food was, which doesn’t always happen at weddings. Pernilla the owner was wonderful to work with, super communicative, and an all around lovely person. They also were able to accommodate a few different food allergies because I can’t eat gluten and even had options for vegetarian entrees. If I had to do it all over again, Tangerine would be my first vendor booked. 11/10 HIGHLY recommend.

Booking Late to the Lake as our wedding caterers was the best decision we made for our day. Their communication style was sweet, helpful, and quick to respond. They provided great suggestions to make our day even more special. The value they provided was outstanding - the food was beautifully presented and received 5-star reviews from our guests, who raved about the delicious flavors and attentive service. Our guests have commented multiple times a week since our wedding last month about how the food and smooth service made our day truly unforgettable.

Bartender 608 Intoxicologists & Cocktail Caterers, LLC. 

5.0

Monona, WI
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Iowa for additional fees

Since 1995, China Moon has bartended for dive bars, house parties, underground events, celebrity bashes, and fine dining establishments in NYC and the Midwest. She’s an old soul with a heart for gardening, reading, music, dancing, animals, and, when it’s safe again, putting her passport back in the rotation. She holds a degree in Hotel & Restaurant business management, was the Private Dining & Event Manager at The Edgewater Hotel from 2016-to 2018, and is a member of the Beta Beta Psi chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. China Moon is an eager reader (and dotes on Stephen King and Dean Koontz novels.) She loves aged Brugal Rum on the rocks with lime.

As a wedding venue, we have been fortunate enough to see most, if not all, of the mobile bartending service companies in the Madison area. Bartender608, China Moon (owner) and her staff are the best to work with. They are very responsive to us, as a hosting venue, and their clients who are typically the bride and groom. China and her team arrive on time, or early, have a very professional set up and always dress the part. Bartender608’s service is always efficient regardless of the size of your group. If we were hosting our own wedding or party, Bartender608 would be an easy and immediate Yes Please!
