We hired Key Ingredients catering for our big Election Night Party this year (200 people), and they were absolutely wonderful! Shoutout to Carla Bettini, who was so helpful, professional, and friendly throughout the entire process. Everyone said that the food was great at our party, and the decorations and decor that came with the catering spread was absolutely beautiful! 6/5 stars! I had such a great experience with this catering company...you should definitely hire them for your next event!

KIC was outstanding. The food was not only very well prepared but very good quality and exquisitely presented. They set the tables and even added runners at no extra cost. They worked very hard to ensure that everything was perfect for my daughter's wedding. This is the first time I have to organize a wedding reception and dinner and I relied on Javier and his team to make sure the details were taken care of. Excellent value and service! Thank you for making such effort and ensuring this was an amazing night for all of us.

My daughter's wedding
My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better experience...

My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better experience with a catering company. This was our first event planned together and key ingredients made it a breeze. From the first meeting to the day of the wedding everything went smoothly and according to plan. We were very happy to have sampled the food before the event and we're pleased with all the choices and quality of the food we selected. Key ingredients also provided us a great selection of tablecloths and decoration for a reasonable price. Their staff was very respectful and friendly they did a great job setting everything up in a very short period of time. All in all it was a great job done at a fair price.
