Everything about LLIO is professional. Their attention to detail, timing - "what do want this event…read moreto be"... they try to cover every aspect of an "inspired occasion". We attended a December event where each and every item was covered - decorations were immaculate, the plating was with fine china, the food was magnificent (raw oysters, amazing entrees, and social interaction subtly provided for.) We also were part of a November event with mostly desserts, again - they design the occasion to your wishes. And once again, it was memorable, oh wait, I should say "inspired". They are not the "cheapest" caterer - but then again, if you want memorable or inspired, it's worth it. I mean, how often do you do these types of things (wedding, special business event, special get-together, coming of age....) anyway?

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.

Thanks for delivering, meeting our expectations, and filling our bellies, Bo Lings!

Bo Lings is something of a Kansas City tradition and since I was a little kid it's been one of my…read morefavorites. When I was a kid it was because I loved Chinese food and this is where my parents would go, and now as an adult it's mostly just nostalgia. Over the years I've found other places I like just as much, and some places in town that do certain dishes better, BUT there is just something about Bo Lings that feels comforting and that je ne sais quoi will certainly keep me coming back. This location in Overland Park is the closest to my house so it's the one we order from the most. They recently got into the delivery game which reintroduced them to me now that I'm in my kid era and very much too tired to strap two little kids into the car to pick up food when I can pay to have it come to me (I know I know kind of lazy but that's life!). At any rate, we ordered from here earlier this week and the moo shu was exactly how I remembered, I love that they make their own pancakes in house and they still are IMO the best ones in town, and the crab rangoon still slaps. Something else I love about Bo Lings is that they do a good job at staying consistent across all locations, which I imagine is not always an easy feat. At any rate, if you are craving Chinese food in OP Bo Lings will not disappoint!

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.

The…read moreyear before, we had taken a family trip with our parents to Scotland and had a fabulous meal at The Kitchin in Edinburgh, a 1-star Michelin-rated restaurant. The meal and experience was so memorable that we wanted to replicate it in our parent's home and asked Chef David to serve a 5-course meal for 8 adults. His communications in preparation for the event were clear and professional. He took our preferences into account, including my sister's need for gluten free options, and he provided exciting options, it was difficult to choose. The entire meal ended up being gluten free, much to my sister's delight. Chef David arrived at 2pm for a 6pm meal and we could tell right away that it was going to be a great experience. He brought positive energy into the house, and it was a lot of fun talking to him and seeing him prepare for the meal. I think our dad must have talked to him for an hour or more while he was preparing the food. The whole house smelled AMAZING! Our menu was Scallops Muniére, Gnocchi with sage brown butter and parmesan, Orange and Spinach Salad, Beef Pappardelle with wild mushrooms and burrata cheese, and the most amazing Chocolate Cream Pie I've ever had. Chef David served up what I would consider a Michelin-rated experience in my parent's home. It was truly an amazing experience and a beautiful memory for our family. Scotland was amazing, but having this experience right at home was something special. And, to top it off, Chef David cleaned everything up afterwards! We highly recommend hiring Chef David!!
