I had Moxie catering cater my wedding last week (10/18). I will tell you that for me, and my…read morehusband the most important part about planning any party is the food, so when it came to catering my wedding, I had no idea where to start. We had visited their restaurant, and was in love with the food. We called Jill, and she met with us and it was like she read our minds with the menu and suggested tons of "out-of-the-box" ideas. We then did our tasting where again, was blown away by not only the options she offered us, but also the quality. This is not the ordinary "Wedding Food" it's much much more and all of our wedding guests mentioned that to us at the reception. The quality of the food and service (all of the staff asked me several times if i wanted food or beverage brought to me as it's difficult to get in eating anything as a bride). When you are at a wedding tasting you expect that the actual wedding would be less quality, because of the quantity of people, but this is not the case, this was mine and I'd say a majority of our guests favorite part of the reception. T'm VERY confident that Jill, will help anyone organize and provide quality food and service. Top Notch Catering. :) Thanks again!

We had Moxie cater our wedding a month ago and it was a great experience. The wedding was about…read more200 people and Moxie did a cheese table, appetizers, a seated salad, and a full dinner buffet. They also handled some of the various glassware needs we had. To address the complaints about their responsiveness, I didn't have issues communicating at all with them (I worked with Jill). Sometimes an email would have a turn around of a day or two, but those communications were not urgent and I was very comfortable that if I felt I needed a response quickly I could pick up the phone and call. The food was outstanding, which I feel other reviewers here have expressed appropriately. What really stood out to me was their level of experience and willingness to help "fill in the cracks" with the wedding planning. They knew and had experience with the other vendors I was using and so could just take care of things without me needing to be directly involved (as a working bride, that was huge). Jill also helped me make sure things weren't missed, for example, linen orders, and just generally made me feel more comfortable that everything was going to go smoothly. On the day of the wedding, everything seemed to just magically happen, though I know a lot of that was due to Moxie. I've actually had several comments after the wedding that everything seemed super "organized" and perfectly planned, which I found almost laughable as I really had no idea what I was doing and kind of let things run wild. Wedding planning was kind of amateur-hour in my case, but Moxie made me look like a pro. So, if you love great food, Moxie is a great choice. But more importantly, if you're anything like me and planning a large event is totally outside of your experience base, Moxie is the best choice!

We hired Heather and Scott for our wedding on June 5, 2016. I ordered the largest package they had…read morewith 3 meat choices and 3 sides. They were so helpful and helped so much with planning out the catering, I had waited two weeks before the wedding before picking catering and they were great with communication. My venue at The Barn at Killcreek Farm required liability insurance and their business license, Heather was great with communication and sent me things very quickly when asked. Most of our communication was through facebook and email. She made it very easy to pay, I was able to pay for it from the ease of my computer at home. She offered meeting in person but my schedule was very busy before the wedding. She let me know of the set up time and they were ready to serve even before the wedding started. They had a beautiful set up with black table covers and a lovely buffet serving style. Both her and her husband kept the food stocked and it was always hot and moist. Our meats included: Pulled Pork with Buns, Brisket and Chicken. Our sides: BBQ Beans, Green bean cassrole and Scalloped Potatoes. Heather was preparing plates for both bride and groom (I was the bride) just in case we had no chance to eat. She also offered to take care of the desserts that we had brought, including the option of icing our cookie cake if needed. She transported all our cookies from our containers to serving plates and did everything so sanitary, including wearing gloves. I appreciated every aspect that both Heather and Scott brought. Our guests loved the food and talked about it all through the night, I personally really loved the BBQ beans and the pulled pork. She brought containers for me to take home the leftovers and was very accommodating. My two young nephews were at the wedding and wanted to help the caterers, Heather and Scott were both very kind and patient with them. Heather and Scott both did the set up and clean up, it was completely stress free. I would highly recommend them for any wedding/event. Our event was 75 people.

The sides were definitely complimentary -- the potato salad had a good flavor, perfect consistency and seasoned nicely. The beans had a good amount of meat and a flavor heads above many others we've tried in the area. Definitely a hidden gem.

We originally wanted to do a mashed potato bar for cocktail hour but after trying the mac and cheese they offered at the wedding convention we swapped to that because it was so delicious.

I would definitely recommend, specifically the mac and cheese bar to anyone!

I hired Shining Stars Catering to cater a tea party-themed bridal shower. From my very first…read morecontact with Deb (the owner) through the cleanup and end of the shower, my experience was wonderful. Deb was energetic and excited to hear about the shower and what I had in mind for food. She offered a TON of choices (I wanted bite-sized finger food)...cold, hot & desserts. It all sounded so good, we had a hard time making choices. She was great with communication and the contract for services was really clear and laid out all of the pricing in detail so I never had a question as to how much I'd be paying. She also had everything I needed like tablecloths, glasses, silverware, napkins. I had a wonderful and extremely helpful on-site server, Julie, during the shower as well. The food was a tasty and delicious as it sounded. We had tea sandwiches, scones w/berry butter, brie & cranberry tarts, mini cupcakes, mini beef wellingtons (YUMM!), salmon canapes, gruyere puffs, and chocolate covered strawberries. I'm so glad I had Deb and her team to help me put this shower together. I will definitely be giving her a call for my next event!

I rate them as No. 1 in my book. They were my go to for everything and it was the smart and perfect chose. I live in Miami, FL., I had to plan my daughter's wedding from Miami in Kansas City. With the help of Marvin and Deborah Williams from Shining Star Catering, they made it all possible for me to do. The food was so flavorful, everyone was commenting on how great the food was (we had Italian). The staff was just as amazing and accommodating. The venue was a dream come true. Most of my communication was done via email, but Marvin and Deborah made the vision come true. He made himself available at all times, Marvin even stayed around the day of the wedding to guide me. That was a weight off my shoulders, because I did not have a wedding planner. That's what you call amazing service.
