Dear Patrick, I'm unable to respond directly to your comment so I'll leave it here…read more We were instructed to put together boxes labeled by table number with decorations and directions/pictures on how we wanted them. We were told the decorations would be put on the tables by your team and the tear down/set up of the room would be taken care of by Russo's staff. That may not be what is on the written contract but it is 100% what my fiance and I were told. Which is why we put together boxes and a binder to be organized and helpful. I have never spoken to you so I'm not sure how you know what was discussed with us and what was not. I stated above the communication prior to our wedding day was horrendous and it was very hard to get questions answered. Maybe if communication had been better any confusion on expectations could have been cleared up. Aside from that, if you had properly read my review you would have comprehended that my complaint was not with the fact that your staff didn't set out the decorations, but with the fact they didn't communicate that they weren't going to until 10 minutes before the reception started. As I stated above my mother showed them the boxes, decorations and binder before the cocktail hour started and the staff member agreed with my mother that they would set it out. If it wasn't in the contract and they weren't planning on doing that then that was the opportunity to let that be known. However, they waited until 10 minutes before and that made us run 40 minutes behind schedule. To address your comment that the outside bar closed and the inside one opened... how were my guests supposed to get to the inside bar while they were at the outdoor cocktail hour? They could not enter because my mother and bridal party were setting up the inside of the building. Therefore my guests were outside with a closed bar while the bartender was at an empty inside bar for 40 minutes.

Kirk brought all of the food along with 2 wonderful servers to set up, serve, and clean up so we got to relax and enjoy the party too. The Citrus-Cured Norwegian Salmon "Lox" with Traditional Garnishes & New York bagels and his Farro (WheatBerry) Salad with Dried Michigan Cherries were my favorites. The food was beautifully presented and so good that the bride & groom and a few guests asked to take some of the leftovers home so the servers packed up to-go packages for them. I would definitely hire Kirk again!!

I hired Kirk to cater my wedding, and the food was amazing. Kirk does not normally do weddings…read morebecause he gears his catering business more toward small get togethers and "foodie" audiences. His largest group is between 60 and 100. I think one of the more popular of his services is coming to people's homes and cooking a gourmet meal for a small group of family and friends. Wedding's tend to me super stressful, and the people planning it can be hyper active, irrational, controlling, etc. There is absolutely no need to be this way with Kirk. My whole philosophy during the planning of the wedding was to let the good professionals do their job while I had a good time. I chose Kirk because I was terrified of serving "bad wedding food". I started searching for caterers online and found a mountain of results. I had no idea how to winnow down to a good, wine friendly caterer. After contemplating the problem for a while, I emailed Catherine Neville, editor and creator of Sauce Magazine. She emailed me back with three or four names. I hit the jackpot! I went with Kirk because of my love of King Louie's restaurant, which is sadly, no longer; he was a chef there a few years back. I also chose him because he was confident, laid back, and capable of providing the most services. He was willing to be a go-between for the tables, chairs, china and what not. He also understands wine--which is what we served our guests, instead of an open bar. Kirk sent me some sample menus, some pricing. I consulted with my father, who was going to find the wine. We okayed a menu and that was the end of it until the wedding. The food was gorgeous and, according to my guests, sooooo good. I was, of course, too wound up to eat. And I knew I would be. It was buffet style. I didn't want to deal with telling my guests where to sit, or having to choose between chicken or beef. So, there was fingerling potatoes, asparagus, crusty breads, chunky salads with goat cheese, cherry tomatoes, little bites of toasts with salmon and some kind of spread, dates with cheese--and much much more. So, with Kirk, his menus tend to use the most obscure name for things--which required constant Google searching while reviewing the sample menus. The only other "tip" I have is if you are working on a wedding, make sure to ask for a separate plate for the bride (for after the wedding), and make sure you get all the leftovers. I think there was some food we paid for, but didn't get to take home. I could be mistaken--but I find it improbable that my guests ate all the petite fours! After the wedding, one of my guests told me that her cousin had hired Kirk to come to her home and make a dinner for her and friends, and that it was so much fun, and so good. I didn't doubt it. I highly recommend working with Kirk for any event. You will not be disappointed, especially if food quality is important to you.

We had a one year-old baby with us and they were very kid-friendly and even offered a high chair (we did bring our own that clipped to the table top, but the table was too flimsy to hold it). All the drinks, condiments etc. are self-serve, including tea - you make your own tea bag from looseleaf tea. You also order at the counter and then find your own seat. It's a small operation and that didn't bother me. The only thing is there wasn't a bathroom, or maybe it was through the kitchen? That seems like a health code violation to me, but oh well.

It was a beautiful table set with a very eclectic mix of dinnerware. Really cute. The tasting consisted of two appetizers, two salads, two entrees and two sides. Everything that we tasted was delicious. goat cheese and duxelles on toast, shrimp cocktail, chicken piccata, beef tenderloin, pasta with green peas and dill, green beans, mashed potatoes and wine. The chef who prepared the food brought it out and explained it all to us. Very impressive. The menu has a large variety of choices. If you are planning a wedding, the space includes a chapel, bride and groom dressing areas and a lounge upstairs. It is a very cool space. The people were super nice and explained everything to us. What a nice evening. Nestled in the cute Holly Hills neighborhood. I highly recommend!

We had our wedding in the Missouri Botanical Gardens in September through Catering St. Louis (the…read moreonly way you can reserve an area in the botanical gardens). We regret this decision. The wedding itself was beautiful but the entire planning process and getting Catering St Louis to actually work with us was a NIGHTMARE. First of all, it's a full non-refundable deposit that you must supply to hold your spot. This is also rain or shine, no refunds. We knew this and accepted this, but then (after we paid) they sent the full package with other restrictions we were not expected. No signs, no glasses or anything breakable. The seats that day will be set up for the largest group of the day, so if you have a small guest list compared to the other weddings occurring that day, too bad. You have to pay an additional $300 for a golf cart if you want help transporting people to the wedding site (NOTE: this only applies to the wedding party! They don't want you to use it for all your guests). Additionally, if this golf cart breaks down, too bad, they only have one, there goes your money. For a $3000 non-refundable deposit, you think they would provide reserved parking for at least the Bride and Groom. NOPE. When we met with Catering St. Louis representative, she assured us since it was a wedding earlier in the day, that we would find parking, but nothing was reserved. When I arrived with my parents in my dress, there was NO parking. My dad had to drop us off, park somewhere a mile away, and then RUN to the ceremony site. This was absurd. We talked with the folks at the botanical gardens themselves after this, and they said they would have supplied us with reserved parking if Catering St. Louis would have talked to them. ALSO, the people with Catering St. Louis refused to meet and work with us/answer questions until a month before the wedding!!! It was incredibly frustrating not knowing what was going on and what else we had to do. The only support we actually got from them was the ONE meeting with the Catering St. Louis representative less than a month before the wedding (which wasn't even in the botanical gardens, they met us in a cafe), and during the rehearsal. We got an hour for our rehearsal time and that process was smooth, but nothing was set up, and there was no way to hook our music up and to coordinate that. During the day of, the rehearsal coordinator gave us our ques to walk and then left. We would NOT recommend having your wedding at the Botanical Gardens through Catering St. Louis. We are SO glad we didn't use them for our reception.

The 5 course meal was perfectly portioned to leave comfortably full, and the wine and cocktail pairings were exceptional. For future events, we will definitely be ordering different options between vegan and meat, wine and cocktail, for sharing. Our friends had the vegan option while we had the meat choice, and there were a few of their dishes I would have liked to try. On the other hand, I wouldn't have wanted to give up more than half of any of my courses, they were all so delicious! I forgot to take photos of several of the courses, but the risotto and broccoli were from the vegan option. All of the vegan dishes got huge compliments, but the risotto was resoundingly a favorite. The other 3 pics are from the meat option, and all were amazing! The lamb and pork belly were both melt in your mouth! Of the cocktails, the vanilla old fashioned and lavender spritzer were particular favorites. Last, the service was second to none. The servers were professional and attentive, but we also got a strong feeling of cameraderie amongst the entire crew. I loved that Melissa, Chef, and staff made the rounds for introductions and greetings as time allowed. Such a great energy. I hope for many more opportunities to dine with Chef and Melissa!
