I recently had the pleasure of working with Glad Mouf for catering my wedding, and I am so glad I did! From the very beginning, their communication was seamless and professional. They listened carefully to all my needs and provided thoughtful suggestions that made the entire process stress-free. The team at Glad Mouf truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for my special day. The food was absolutely incredible! The oxtail was tender and flavorful, cooked to perfection with a rich, savory sauce that had just the right amount of seasoning. Every bite was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The crab fried rice was another standout—packed with juicy crab meat and a delicious combination of flavors. It was the perfect balance of savory and just the right amount of richness. I’ve had many versions of crab fried rice, but this one was top-tier. As for the overall experience, the quality and value of their work were exceptional. The portions were generous, and the food was served fresh and hot, even though they were catering to a large crowd. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was. Glad Mouf’s dedication to their craft really shone through, and they contributed to making my wedding day even more memorable. If you’re looking for top-notch BBQ and seafood, I highly recommend Glad Mouf. They will elevate any event with their great food and excellent service!

Selecting a caterer for our wedding was a very daunting task. So many caterers to choose from, all at different price levels and various offerings. After interviewing a handful of companies, we decided to go with the team at Krafted Culture. From the beginning Chef Cooper was attentive to our vision, and our budget. He helped guide us along the path from beginning to our wedding day. Chef Cooper was always punctual, reliable, respectful and honest. He truly had our best interests at heart. At our tasting, we knew we had made the right choice. The food was phenomenal. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the entire layout of our wedding changed 4 days prior to the big day. Chef Cooper was very instrumental in collaborating with our wedding coordinator and made sure that the changes would not affect his service. On the day of Chef and his team were on time, ready to work and pleasant with our guests. Our guests did not have to wait long for their meal and they all loved the food, especially the Caribbean Chicken. If we had to do it all over again we would not hesitate to hire Krafted Culture. If you are looking for a professional caterer that provides quality food and excellent day of service at a very fair price, look no further than Chef Cooper and his team at Krafted Culture.

Mel and her team bring excellent service, delicious cuisine, and a fantastic creative eye to every event they execute. As a photographer, I work with many event planners and caterers. Mel has my highest recommendation for any wedding or hosted event. From the moment she and I first connected, I found Mel to be extremely responsive and easy to contact. She provided clear instructions and information leading up to the event so my assistant and I would know exactly what to expect. Mel worked with the grooms to create a unique, outstanding menu with elements involving both their preferences and their cultural backgrounds. When we arrived at the wedding, we were completely wow’d by what Mel had created! She displayed the dishes with such finesse. It was all so well-considered and beautifully organized. Mel’s team was easy to work with all night long and made sure we had everything we needed. I heard so many compliments from guests about how delicious the food tasted and what a great time they were having. Not only did Mel create a stunning atmosphere and table display for us to photograph, but she was fun, outgoing, and easy to work with. What more could you need? Don’t hesitate - just hire her right away!
