About Christiani's VIP Catering Service

Christiani's VIP Catering Service

Culinary Director

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!

Christiani's VIP Catering Service has been a top-tier, well-established catering company in the Des Moines Metro for over 40 years! We set ourselves apart from other caterers in many ways, such as our professionalism and experience! Christiani's employs a fully trained staff to ensure complete satisfaction while offering silverware/plates, water glasses, napkins, and a full-service bar with T.I.P.S trained bartenders!

    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.

    I had heard that Christiani’s food was good but I was not prepared for how good it was going to be. The chicken was full of flavor and so was the roast beef. They service was great. It was easy to make changes to the menu that fit our needs. I highly recommend!

  • Fantastic!
