This was my first time to use Sunflower Chef Catering, and I was impressed from start to finish. Julie is amazing! The food for my holiday brunch was creative and delicious! All of my guests raved about each item. I just loved working with her and would highly recommend her for any event. She goes above and beyond to make the day extra special.

Kelly was very helpful with the catering of our wedding. We had an idea of what we wanted and she was there to help with making it a reality. We had more than one of our guests tell us how delicious the food was. This was excellent place and if I have a need I would defenitley use again and am recommending Gateway Market to my family and friends in the future.

Local Yocals has easily become a family favorite. They are able to blend the perfect combination of incredibly fresh local flavors, and incredible chef talent. The menu as always has staples, but also has new flavors to try. If I have to choose a vendor at any event and Local Yocals is an option, we will choose them every single time. One thing I also appreciate is that they write where the food sources are from, it seems like everyone claims to be local, and this is the real deal. Well done.

I recently asked Carlos to cater an 80-person lunch event for a symposium my research group was hosting at Iowa State. Carlos did a fantastic job keeping in touch, letting us know his needs and exactly what he would be providing. His food is absolutely phenomenal! He made it fresh immediately beforehand and kept it well heated during the lunch. The buffet line moved quickly and everyone was very satisfied with the choices. Prices were extremely reasonable. All in all, I very highly recommend Carlos for any of your catering needs!

Johnny gave detailed instruction and demonstrated all aspects of the cooking experience. He also provided information about food purchasing, storing and preserving, as well as tips for preventing cross-contamination. I will be scheduling additional classes. My experience was delightful.

I had to bring in pastries and lunch for 50 people during a day long training. Not only was the service outstanding but the food was above and beyond lunch expectations: fresh, fresh! The pastries were European in quality and the salad and gourmet wraps were exceptionally fresh, delicious and excellently presented. Definitely a go-to again!

Park Place Catering did an outstanding job at my son and daughter-in-law's wedding in September in Ames. The food was amazing and the service was also. Not only did they keep beverages containers filled at the front beverage table, which was not their responsibility, but they also cleaned up the whole kitchen spotless and even did all of our dishes when they were done. I was so impressed with Park Place Catering and recommend them to anyone. They take pride in their business.
