Christiani's VIP Catering Service 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,100
  • Serves Waukee, IA

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.

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Waukee, IA

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!!

You can even have your own roasting station at your event with TerraFlame Fire Bowls available through Tuck-ins!

Awarded Best of Zola
We arranged to have the Tuck-ins team come to our wedding to set up a table with small fire stations and Tuck-ins so that our guests could roast their own s'mores as a fun, interactive dessert. All of my guests loved them and they were also able to take some home if they wanted to save one for later. Additionally, working with the Tuck-ins team was great; they're very responsive and were even able to customize the labels on the Tuck-ins to have our names and wedding date on them. It was truly a unique part of our wedding and I think everyone enjoyed it. Highly recommend!

Bartender 608 Intoxicologists & Cocktail Caterers, LLC. 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Waukee, IA 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!

Hello! My name is Allie and I’m the sole owner of The Hangry Lady. I have a 2 year A.S Degree towards dietetics and a Culinary Degree from Kirkwood Community College. After graduating I went on to be Chef de Cuisine at Caucho for 2 years, during this time I was named one of the ‘40 women to watch’ by the Iowa Restaurant Association. I then went on to be Executive Chef at Popoli for almost 1 year before closing due to Covid. This is when I decided to take a chance on myself and opened up the business I had always dreamed of. Our mission is to serve colorful, creative and delicious food, with high quality service to our customers.

The Hangry Lady was amazing we are so glad we went with them for our cocktail hour food. Their communication throughout the planning process was quick and thorough, making it easy to coordinate all the details. On the day of, the quality of their work was exceptional - the food was both beautiful and delicious, with lots of variety- we were able to special order unique cheeses and pate. We received so many compliments on the meat and cheese table. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a customizable grazing board.
