We booked Creative Food Catering at the onset of the pandemic without ever trying their food. Their reviews were great so we took a leap of faith, and we are so glad we did it. We selected most of their Mediterranean choices, many of which are literal family recipes. It was such a unique menu -- definitely not your run-of-the-mill catering company! Even weeks later our guests are still raving about the food. Michelle was amazing to work with -- always responsive, accommodating and so friendly. She also helped us secure a few other vendors, and her recommendations were top notch. They are a full service catering company so that made things easier on us during the planning process. Their staff was attentive and checked on us so many times throughout the night - ensuring that we also got to enjoy our special day. We'd give them 10 stars if we could. read more

I got married at the Greenpoint Loft in October of 2024. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Creative Foods Catering! From the moment we first reached out, Michelle and Mehmet provided exceptional service, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Mehmet came over to our apartment in Brooklyn for a menu tasting and the experience was something we will never forget. It was like having your own private chef for a "date night" at home. Highly recommend doing this if you can! Their attention to detail, creativity, and genuine care for our vision truly set them apart. Michelle and Mehmet worked closely with us to craft a menu that perfectly reflected our tastes and accommodated all of our guests' dietary needs. Michelle was so incredibly helpful when it came to ordering our rentals. She spent so much time answering my questions and made my vision come to life! They are a dream team. On the wedding day, they exceeded our expectations in every way. They showed up on-time and had setup complete before the first guest arrived. Mehmet brought us champagne after our "first look" to help with our nerves before the ceremony. The food was absolutely incredible--every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Our guests raved about it all night! The service was equally exceptional. During cocktail hour, we never had to wait for a drink; their staff was attentive and ensured everyone was taken care of. They even set aside a serving of all of the passed hors d'oeuvres for my husband and I and our signature cocktails so we could enjoy them after the ceremony before we joined the rest of our guests (and to ensure we got to try everything because cocktail hour can be very demanding of the bride and groom) During dinner, drinks were brought directly to the tables, so our guests didn't have to get up, and their attentiveness throughout the night was remarkable.If you're looking for a catering team that combines impeccable food with outstanding service, look no further than Creative Foods Catering. Michelle and Mehmet, thank you for making our special day even more unforgettable! We seriously couldn't have dreamt of a better catering team to work with, 5 stars!!!!! read more

Professional, Punctual, and overall nice people. They helped me with a menu that was fantastic. They made everything easy with the quoting process- I had a quote and menu within a couple hours. read more

We cannot recommend Creative Foods highly enough. You should definitely hire them for your wedding! First of all, the food is delicious! They have excellent menu options and people are still raving about the slider station during cocktail hour. Also, the cheesecake bites -- chef's kiss! They are incredible professionals who know how to plan and execute beautiful events. When we started planning, we had no idea how much of the event work the caterers are actually responsible for -- basically everything. We're so glad we entrusted our event to Creative Foods. Set up and clean up and service and everything was perfect. They were also very flexible when we had to push it back a year due to the pandemic. And, last, but certainly not least, they are very affordable. They were the best quote by far and we're so glad we went with them! read more

Mehmet, Michelle, and their team are the best around and we would recommend Creative Foods Catering to anyone and everyone. From the beginning, we were very pleased with their responsiveness and their help with choosing a menu that would work well for our wedding reception - including an Italian food station and a Polish food station during our cocktail hour. When we had to reschedule our reception multiple times, they were flexible and supportive which meant everything to us. When we finally were able to celebrate our reception in November 2021, we knew it would be a great night but WOW - the food, the drinks and the service were amazing and we received so many compliments from our guests. Some favorites were the mushroom ravioli, the mac and cheese shooters, and the mini cheesecake bites. We are so appreciative to the Creative Foods team and couldn't have hoped for anything more! read more

Working with Creative was nothing more than a breeze. We are so happy that we met Mehmet and Michelle through our venue as they were one of the preferred catering vendors. Michelle made the entire process as easy as possible and they truly work with you in meeting your needs. They schedule a taste testing and came to our house where Mehmet the head chef brought all of the food we selected and presented it to us. At our wedding, the food was and tasted exactly the same and everyone raved about how delicious it was. Thank you, Creative and Mehmet and Michelle. read more

Mehmet & the team are the absolute BEST! Our wedding day went so smoothly because of them, and we were so beyond happy with the food and service that they provided. The guests were raving about the food and even said the beef was one of the best that they've ever had! Mehmet is professional, calm (just what I personally needed) and so kind. My husband and I are so lucky to have found Creative Foods Catering and cannot thank them enough for all their help. Mehmet was able to coordinate, cater and direct the entire day (which includes staff + food + rentals) and it gave us a sense of relief. Trust me, you will not regret hiring this amazing team. Highly recommend! read more

Intuitive, professional, caring, flexible, and perfect are adjectives that immediately come to mind when I think of Mehmet and Creative Foods Catering! Planning a wedding is pretty stressful however teaming up with vendors who understand your vision is priceless! From inception, Mehmet was there! He drove to our home and prepared foods for selection in our very kitchen. His wife Michelle, who we didn't have the pleasure of meeting was also there for us, in constant contact. From food selection changes to assistance with Broadway Rentals (our hardware vendor) nothing was too hard for them. Our big day was perfect! The entire team was caring and attentive, including Mehmet! During happy hour in between all of the happy madness, Mehmet whispered in my ear that there was Hors d'oeuvres set aside for us. He encouraged us to grab a bite when we had a moment to ensure endurance for all of the footwork that was soon to be unleashed on the dance floor ;-) As we made our rounds greeting our guests, I couldn't help but notice the shiny plates AFTER food was served! One of my guests said to me weeks after our wedding that her server was so accommodating when she couldn't decide what to choose. The server served her selection but brought her second choice just in case she wasn't happy. I've been to a lot of weddings and the service is usually my biggest turnoff. This meant and stills means a great deal to us. To know how well our guests were treated was the ultimate pat on the back. I am a huge fan of service and I couldn't be more happy with Creative Foods Catering. If you are searching for a caterer look no further! Still not convinced? After we returned from our honeymoon, we had a baby shower for my expecting sister. I ran into Mehmet who happened to be catering a wedding in the same multi-venue building. He was generally happy to see me and even offered me tea or coffee! Who does things like this? A person who is genuine and is really great at what he does! Thank you Mehmet and Michelle! Our favorite memories as a couple involve food and your talents just added to that forever growing list! All the best! read more

I'm so happy that I chose Creative Foods Catering for our March 2018 wedding at the Green Building in Brooklyn. Catering and staff costs are typically the biggest portion of your wedding budget and when I initially started the vendor search around Brooklyn and NYC area, I couldn't believe how much other caterers charge you. Typically other Brooklyn and Manhattan caterers are so overpriced and hyped up for no reason. Pricing for Creative Foods was affordable and so much more reasonable compared to other competitors out there yet Creative Foods did not compromise quality and delivered exceptional food/staff for the event. I'm a very budget conscience bride and based on my requests, Mehmet and Michelle created a custom package for our menu and allowed flexibility to swap out some items on the menu. Even though they are located right outside the city, Mehmet came down to our East Village apartment for the tasting and traveled to the venue in Brooklyn on time! Michelle was also a pleasure to work with. She is detailed oriented, professional, and responsive. Every communication that I sent, Michelle responded within hours and even gave me recommendations on alcohol list, and day of coordinator (our venue was BYOB). Many of the wedding guests complemented on the amazing catering and bartending staff. Staff was friendly and throughout the event, they checked in with bride/groom to ensure we had enough food and that my drinks were filled up. Creative Foods also have tons of experience doing weddings in NYC venues in both Manhattan and Brooklyn, so they knew exactly what to do! I highly recommend Creative Foods for your wedding in NYC! read more

Creative Foods Catering - Caterers Near Me - Carmel, New York

Mahmet And Michelle we're a dream to work with right from the very beginning! After reading great reviews and doing ALOT of research and quotes Creative Catering came in under the cost of every other place we were quoted and when I tasted the food I was sold! Plus they also took care of the rentals and linens and staff which just made it all so perfect. All the staff were very professional and everyone raves about the food! So if you are planning a wedding or event don't look any further! Speak to Michelle she was always fast to reply and I just can't thank them enough for making our wedding so special! read more

What can we say, we are so incredibly happy/satisfied we went with Creative Foods as our caterer. Their professionalism was exceptional from our initial tasting all the way up to and throughout our wedding. Mehmet and Michelle were a joy to work with, while their staff was also fantastic; everyone had a great attitude and were very courteous to our guests. We were faced with some weather obstacles on the day of our event, and the staff handled everything so efficiently and quickly, keeping us at ease and allowing us to just enjoy the day. Last but not least -- the food was amazing! The cocktail hour (everyone's favorite part of a wedding) offered so many delicious options, and we were happy to find a platter of food waiting for us in the staging area after we took post-ceremony photos. The entrees were exceptional as well (delicious teriyaki salmon, filet mignon, and pan-seared chicken), and everyone was raving about the dessert - the shooters are a must-have! read more

Love Love Love! Mehmet & Michelle are seriously the best team. From the tasting that they did AT OUR HOME(!), to the excellent communication they kept up leading up to the day, to the wedding day where they brought us food in our suite while we got some alone time after our ceremony& provided delicious food to our guests, they impressed us through & through. Their staff of servers & bartenders were also phenomenal. You should pick them for your wedding and, when you do, invite us so we can eat their food again! read more

My wife and I got engaged last December and were aggressively targeting an August 2017 wedding. Knowing that bookings would quickly fill up, we found ourselves doing tastings at a number of caterers and restaurants, but had trouble finding a place with flavorful food, healthy portions and a reasonable price tag. That all changed after we found Mehmet and Creative Foods. He came to our home with a host of delicious appetizers, entrees and desserts that we knew would be hits with our friends and family. Mehmet also gave us plenty of options to configure the perfect mix of foods that would work for our out-of-country guests. His team was proactive and in constant contact leading up to the big day. And they executed PERFECTLY on our wedding day, and made sure there was never a shortage of food and guests were satisfied. There are a host of things you worry about falling apart on the wedding day, but we never had to worry for one second about Mehmet and company. The food was delicious, their service was top notch and as far as we're concerned they're an easy recommendation for making your wedding day a fantastic one. read more

My husband and I decided to hire Creative Foods Catering for our wedding and we're glad we did. Michelle and Mehmet were a pleasure to work with, reliable and quickly responded to all my questions. It was also reassuring they were so familiar with our venue, 501 Union. The wait staff who worked at our wedding were very friendly. After our wedding, I provided Michelle and Mehmet with some constructive feedback, but overall good reviews. There's always room for improvement, and I can tell Michelle and Mehmet took my input seriously, which is why I believe Creative Foods Catering will continue to not only be a successful, but sustainable business. I wish Creative Foods Catering all the best. read more

We were recently lucky to have Mehmet and his team cater our wedding in Brooklyn. Mehmet goes above and beyond to make everything perfect for your event. The food was awesome, the service was great. They were totally flexible when things in our schedule changed, or something on our end didn't go as planned. I was never confronted with a single issue, they always had everything under control. In the months leading up to my wedding, Mehmet was constantly in contact with me and truly made me feel like I was a priority. At once point I actually thought that I was emailing him to much and he told me to feel free to email him as much as I needed. He was really helpful, supportive and full of creative ideas. Everything turned out beautifully, and it was wonderful to be able to relax and not worry for a moment if things were going smoothly. I can't express how grateful we are that Mehmet was a part of our wedding! read more

I have nothing but praise to give Mehmet, Michelle and the Creative Foods Catering team, they were awesome! We had our wedding that past Monday (10/10/16) , althought we have been working with Mehmet since February to organize our wedding catering and rentals. The team were professional, responsive, and a great value. All emails were answered within 24-48 hours, sometimes faster (if it's the weekend they're probably working an event so you shouldn't expect a response within hours, which I totally understand). When we began organizing our wedding we were living in SF and Mehmet was kind enough to jump on facetime/Skype to review the menu/service options. Immediately we know we had picked a great company. Closer to the event, about a month out, Mehmet traveled to our apartment on the UES NYC to give us a sample tasking of the food, it was delicious! Of course we had been told by friends that often the food at a tasting is a lot better than on the actual day, however, that was not the case with Creative Foods Catering. The food on the day was exceptional!!! Everyone was commenting on how good the steak was cooked and how tasty the chicken was, everyone was blown away! Mehmet also offered great advice and suggestions, things we would have missed. We also rented out equipment through Creative Foods Catering, everything turned up on the morning as planned and Mehmet and his team helped decorate the event space. I had taken it upon myself to do all table decorations and lighting, which was a little stressful, however, Mehmet suggested that I simply set up one table and he and his team would do the rest and replicate it....they did a GREAT job! At the end of the night they also helped clean everything away and dispose of the trash. Simply put, Creative Foods Catering were everything I could have wanted and they helped ease the stress of wedding planning tremendously. They offer exceptional service at an incredible price! read more

I highly recommend Creative Foods Catering. We had a low budget for our wedding and Creative Foods came in the best in pricing (also provided us with ideas/options to cut down costs) and had great reviews on Yelp. We had set up a tasting in queens and Mehmet brought everything needed for the tasting and was able to heat things up using the small toaster oven we had available. Even before the tasting, we had provided feedback to Mehmet about certain ingredients that we wanted to swap out and he was very accommodating and recommended things that would be complementary. After tasting, we had made a few more tweaks to our menu and signed the contract/paid deposit via credit card and got the tasting fee waived. It was an easy process. Throughout the process, Mehmet/Michelle answered our questions quickly and all emails were responded pretty much the next day and if not within 2 days, they were apologetic about it. It's a nice feeling to know you can count of them. They had done a wedding at our venue once previously and when we were applying for beer/wine license, they were super helpful which enabled us to get the license successfully. Also one thing to note was that 2 wks before wedding, we had told them that we'd rent oblong tablecloths through CFC but after a quick research online, we found cheap tablecloths and asked Mehmet if we can change our mind. Mehmet immediately responded that we should get those b/c they were cheaper than what CFC would charge us. That's an example of how CFC treats their customers - with their interests at heart. The only thing I am deducting a star from was that I *think* the desserts had ran out.. not sure if my friends are just super greedy sugar munching monsters, but there weren't any shooters left by the time I had sat down. :( I heard the key lime pie shooter was good though. Also, the # of wait staff was less than we had expected but this wasn't an issue since our guests all got their food in a timely manner and the waitstaff also helped us tremendously with cleanup and stacking up chairs. Anyways, Mehmet and Michelle really are a pleasure to work with. I have no doubt that they did everything they could to make sure our wedding was a success. Mehmet and his crew were the last ones to leave the venue that night and made sure everything was cleaned. Thank you CFC! read more

I cannot recommend Mehmet and his team enough. Not only was the food impeccable, but his staff was out of this world. My now-husband and I decided to take an hour to ourselves after our wedding ceremony to have some drinks and appetizers alone during the cocktail hour to eat and take it all in (honestly the only time we got to eat all evening!). One of his staff in particular went to great lengths to make sure we had enough food, drinks, a candle, whatever we needed to be comfortable in that hour, and even offered to get us plates of food when she saw that we weren't getting much of a chance to eat during dinner. Of course, the second I got to the alter, I looked out at my guests and my first thought was, "what? So and so is here and only RSVP'd as tentative! I didn't think she was coming! where will she and her guest sit?"I tried to file this away in my mind for later so I could be present in the ceremony LOL. Luckily we had some last minute cancellations (to be expected), so the second the ceremony was over, we alerted Mehmet, and he and is staff were ON IT and added chairs to the table I specified. We had Mehmet at our home for the tasting, and it was out of this world. We had the beef skewers and falafel for appetizers as well as a mediterranean platter, salmon and beef options for dinner, and mini desserts served in shot glasses. We were so happy with everything from the appetizers to the dessert. I felt like we were really treating our guests to a delicious meal and not "wedding food,"and all for a very reasonable budget. He was also very helpful when it came to assisting with how much alcohol we should order to serve. We wanted 4 classic cocktails on the menu, and the bartenders did an amazing job creating them. (I'm sure it was a pain having people ordering specialty martinis all night)! Also, the glassware was beautiful, which was very important to my husband, the martini enthusiast. We also rented the linens and ballroom chairs from Mehmet. The whole thing was beautiful and perfect. Mehmet was so easy to work with, positive, friendly, organized, and professional. When it came to the food and service on the big day, I did not need to worry, it was completely handled. I would highly recommend Creative Foods Catering for weddings or any other event. We would happily hire Mehmet again in the future and have already recommended him to several friends. read more

We had Creative Foods cater our wedding in Brooklyn, NY for ~100 people at The Green Building and they were fantastic. Mehmet came to our apartment for a tasing which helped us sample a variety of menu options. Both Mehmet and Michelle were extremely responsive and accommodating during the entire process - they let us stop by a second time to try additional items when we couldn't decide between a few options, and were very flexible for dietary restrictions among our guests. The food at our wedding was delicious - especially the mushroom ravioli - and nicely plated. All of this was offered for a price that was extremely competitive relative to other caterers we considered. We would definitely recommend Creative Foods for your wedding. read more

Creative was impeccable! The set-up, the service and the food for our wedding at The Greenpoint Loft were all truly top-notch. We couldn't have dreamed of a better caterer. Not only were Mehmet and Michelle easy to work with during the planning process, but their staff was so attentive on the day of the wedding allowing both my husband and myself to enjoy the night, completely stress free. We had all the confidence in their team and they delivered! Highly recommended. read more

Creative Foods Catering was an amazing part of our Brooklyn wedding. I'm so happy we chose them! We were looking for looking for a caterer that was both affordable and delicious. We wanted a menu that wasn't just the usual played out wedding food. While CFC does offer the typical wedding dishes, Mehmet (the owner) being Turkish he can infuse some much more interesting and international flavors/dishes as desired. We had pistachio-crusted lamb chops and Mediterranean dip station for cocktail hour. For meal, we had Mediterranean salad, bistro filet, swordfish skewers, green onion scallions, and rice medley w/ nuts and fruit. Then a churro station and dessert shooters for dessert. It was completely fantastic - everything on that list was so delicious! People could not stop talking about how great the food was and my dad was waiting by the door to eat all those tender lamb chops as they came out! While we were only searching for delicious food and affordability, I can't say enough how important it was that CFC was so professional - and I know this would not have been the case with the other caterers we shortlisted. CFC were on top of everything, fully prepared, and always one step ahead of us. I didn't think that professionalism would be so important for our casual wedding but that last month before the wedding got awfully hectic and to not have to worry at all about catering is so appreciated in retrospect. In addition to taking care of minor rentals as needed, Mehmet also gave us some tips from their prior experience on how to make sure the event goes smoothly (esp with our event being DIY). And Mehmet and his staff were always smiles and a treat to be around so that made things fun. I fully recommend CFC, they are a real treat and leave a memorable impression on guests. Thank you Mehmet and team for such a great experience. read more

We read good reviews about Creative Foods and after checking out their reviews and menus, we decided on them for our wedding. We wanted a Chinese Western fusion family style meal for our wedding. We really stressed that we wanted family style, as that is how traditional Chinese wedding banquets are. Mehmet doesn't really have much experience with cooking asian food, so we came up with a menu for him. For hor d'oeuvres, I came up with 3 that I love to eat and for the reception, I based it off of traditional Chinese wedding menus mixed in with the food my American husband grew up with. Mehmet came to our house to do a tasting and the food was great. We also decided on doing the fruit/cheese platter and dessert shooters. CFC rented all of the furniture, silverware, etc.., thus it was 1 less thing to worry about. Mehmet sent us breakdowns of everything, so we knew exactly what we were paying for and how much, which is very helpful! The day of our wedding, it wasn't Mehmet doing the cooking. It was a different cook that I had never met before. During the reception, I noticed (as well as our friends and family) that each platter that was brought out was so small and barely had enough food to serve 3/4 of each table (each round table sat 10 people). Though they asked for more food as the platter didn't have enough food on them, some people got more food and other people's requests were just ignored. My parents bought at least 20lbs of roast pork and several quarts of cooked white rice to also serve during the reception, as that is 1 of the traditional foods that you eat at a Chinese wedding banquet and CFC doesn't make that. A few days after the wedding, my parents told me that when the roast pork was served, only 10 pieces of pork were served to each table, which clearly is NOT enough and unsatisfying. When my parents asked for more pork to be served, the staff told them that there was no more pork (which is pretty hard to believe, as they spent over $300 on the pork and rice). Not sure where the disconnect was but we are grateful that they allowed us to bring in outside food and they did not charge us for that. They were very flexible with that. Another pro is that even though CFC is not familiar with cooking Chinese food, they were stil able to adapt and learn about what goes into it. I wanted a Chinese vegetable served (choy sum) and that's not a typical vegetable you would find at any normal supermarket. At the tasting, I gave them a sample of what the vegetable looks and tastes like and Mehmet was able to find the exact vegetable and cooked it very well at the wedding. Although my husband and I barely ate that night, the few bites of food we had were good. The staff was very attentive and made sure our glasses were full. CFC is affordable and can customize the menu to your taste and ideas. I would not recommend family style but if they work on that, it can have the potential to be great. read more

Creative Foods Catering went above and beyond our expectations, and we would like to thank Mehmet and staff for making this possible. My husband and I had our wedding this fall and from the start Mehmet was very accommodating and responded very promptly through emails. It has been extremely nerve-wracking planning a wedding for an entire year, but once we have met Mehmet and saw the staff in action our minds were put to ease. We have met with other catering companies in the past and we have never met anyone that was as personable, flexible, and that cares about their food and presentation than Mehmet. From the food tasting up to the end of our reception they did not fail to deliver. Everything at the reception went smoothly. We had an outside wedding and during cocktail hour all our guests were dispersed in a huge area all around the vineyard, yet the staff was very personable. When dinner came our selection received many complements from our guests. The food was delicious and the taste was equally matched by its presentation. And of course the night ended with amazing desserts. We are very happy to have made the right choice. To all the readers who are still searching and reading other reviews of caterers, your search ends here! read more

Our review is delayed given our wedding was in June, but even after so many months I wanted to give this team the credit they're due... and that says something. Michelle, Mehmet, and their team are phenomenal. Not only is their menu great, they're just really good people to work with. They really helped our day run smoothly with no hiccups. I'm a picky person when it comes to vendors having worked in the food space and in marketing for years. I was blown away by how they presented themselves before, during, and after our wedding. If you want true professionals, this team is it. Don't bother searching further. They'll get the job done with no stress along the way! read more

From the moment we came into contact with Mehmet and Michelle, we could not have been happier with their level of service, quality and professionalism. Here is just a glimpse into our positive experience: In-home Tasting-- If you choose to use Creative Foods as your caterer, they will come to you for a small fee and conduct an in-home tasting. Many caterers today, in our experience, did not offer tastings at all. Mehmet prepared a delicious, full-experience, tasting from their stations/passed hors d'oeuvre menu in addition to entrées and desserts. He was prepared, on-time and friendly. And the best part, we didn't have to travel! Wedding Day Execution-- We had a fairly complicated and quite large (225+ attendees with children) wedding that required two venues, but this did not deter Mehmet and Michelle whatsoever...Many caterers were a little taken aback by the complexity. They executed both venues flawlessly. In fact, multiple guests after the event told us that this was the best wedding food (and service) they had ever experienced. We did a plated salad and buffet-style arrangement--everything stayed fresh, cold/hot and delicious. They also did an excellent job anticipating food portions... something that was very important to us given the amount of guests! Service-- Michelle was our main contact over email. Michelle was such a pleasure to work with as she was responsive, helpful and incredibly patient as we created our final menu. Mehmet was on-site for our wedding and personally came up to us and our parents multiple times during the reception to check if we needed anything and the food/bar/overall quality was up to our standard. When a glass broke near the bar, Mehmet was the first person on the scene to help clean it up. There aren't enough kind words to describe Mehmet, Michelle and their entire staff! They truly made our wedding as magical as possible and I would encourage everyone to consider their services when booking their wedding vendors. read more

Mehmet and his team did a great job overall. He worked with our crazy work and travel schedules during the planning phase. Good things first, we really liked the food. Nothing was dry (probably due to butter-power, but hey). Guests really liked the salmon, grilled asparagus, and baklava. Plus, budget friendly for the area (~$75 per person for entrees, desserts, ice, and labor ONLY, not including rentals, drinks, coffee service, cake, etc). Lastly, they had no problem plating just our dinner during cocktail hour, so we could eat before the guests. We ended up not getting the rentals from him because I heard from other people that the quality could be a hit or miss and we already had someone we use. Maybe that's why - we ordered exactly what Mehmet told us, but there were mishaps (not having plates and utensils for staff, so other staff complained to the groom, and he had to look for them during the reception -- NOT okay). Also some guests told us that the sides they wanted ran out 3/4th way through/didn't get enough food, which frankly is embarrassing for us :( The buffet was staffed -- most of our friends are petite/not teenage boys -- portioning in the beginning was screwed up or just didn't make enough food. Also, there was a confusion over the vegetarian entree. Though, they served an extra dessert, which could've been a generous plus, except I had told them I was bringing that specific item from a specialty store... Overall, Mehmet and his team got the job done. They did minor setups, served food, and cleaned up as contracted. Some things weren't ideal, but I think the job was harder because ours wasn't at a conventional venue -- I can't say everything was perfect, because it wasn't, but it was more than good. I would still recommend their service to others if you are getting married at a more conventional venue. read more

Mehmet and Creative Foods Catering catered my wedding recently. The entire experience was amazing. Mehmet actually came to Queens to prepare a tasting dinner for my me and my wife. The food was delicious so we decided to book him on the spot. Mehmet was extremely friendly and informative throughout the process. I never felt like I didn't know what I was paying for. He was always willing to work with us to make sure everything was as we wanted it. On the day of the wedding, everything was perfect. The food was as good as I remembered it to be. The staff was very friendly and professional. I couldn't have asked for more from Creative Foods and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning an event. read more

Mehmet is the most incredible caterer I have ever met. He and his team of excellent staffers made my April 2014 wedding truly stand out in ways that I never could have imagined. Beforehand, he worked with me to ensure that I had all of the proper rentals and procedures in place in order to make this wedding even happen. He answered any question I had (promptly) and didn't flinch if anything came up. He truly went out of his way to make sure that everything was perfect. Plus, his food was amazing! I have friends who are sous chefs/line cooks and thus, very judgmental of all other food and even they said it was great. Mehmet was worth every (very reasonable) cent and more, and I am so happy he worked our wedding day. Even all of my other vendors loved him! read more

Creative foods solved two of our biggest needs for our wedding: food and rentals. It is so much easier to have one company take care of both. This way we were able to save time and make any last minute changes with one person. Mehmet was also very easy to work with, very professional, and very organized. We appreciated that during our planning process when we were super busy planning everything else. The food was great and even better, it was one of the most affordable menus we've seen in our search. I would recommend this caterer for any event. read more

We hired creative foods catering for our Upper East Side May 2017 wedding and I couldn't be happier with them! Mehmet came to our home for our food tasting and cooked us an amazing meal. The prices were reasonable and the food was fantastic so we decided to go with CFC. The food was delicious -everyone loved it and commented on how much they enjoyed everything. They exceeded all expectations. Mehmet, with his personable, easy going and "can do" attitude is an absolute pleasure to work with! We had our wedding in a mansion with multiple rooms but everything was set up and executed to perfection. Their staff was friendly, efficient, attentive, and simply amazing. Mehmet and team are professional, pleasant, extremely responsive, flexible, and well-organized. Highly recommended! read more

It has not even been 24 hours since I had an event for 300 people...but I knew the first thing I needed to do was write a review about the best caterer I have ever worked with! The food was fantastic, the staff was definitely hand picked, and the presentation was perfect. I received compliments throughout the night about how good the food was and how plentiful it was. There are no words to say how Mehmet and Michelle took care of EVERY detail. I did not need to ask for ONE thing yet they constantly checked in with me. I only wish I good give Creative Foods 10 stars instead of 5. read more

We hired creative foods catering for our brooklyn May 2017 wedding and I couldn't be happier with them! Mehmet came to our home for our food tasting and cooked us an amazing meal. He wasn't pushy or rude about booking.. which was a problem I had with other caterers I spoke to. The prices were reasonable and the food was fantastic so we decided to go with CFC. They literally exceeded all expectations. They worked with us on changing the menu. We decided we wanted a taco station instead of a fruit/cheese station and it was awesome. My husband and I got so many compliments about the tacos. Everyone also raved about the mini burgers, steak, churros etc. everyone said the food was great (even vegetarian meals) no one left hungry. Dessert shooters and churros are a must!! They set up the room perfectly. Mehmet and Michelle were also super responsive with last minute changes. I would definitely book them for your wedding. I did hire a day of coordinator to help with everything and the day went perfect. They really were amazing. read more

We had a great experience with Creative Foods Catering for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah party. The food was excellent. We also had a great experience with Mehmet and Michele planning the party and their experience was very helpful. We were able to customize the menu and we had a great tasting at our place in Brooklyn. We would highly recommend Creative Foods for any party since they are easy to work with, very supportive and the quality of the food and service was outstanding. They were by far the best caterers that we talked to and we would recommend them for any party or event. read more

A fantastic business to work with. Mehmet and his team catered our wedding at The Dumbo Loft in Brooklyn. Throughout the entire process they were responsive, professional, and very efficient. We had a semi-complicated DIY set up going for the tables, and they pulled it off perfectly. And the food was great. They also rent tables/chairs/linens/silverware, saving us from a whole lot of worries during the planning process. To echo another reviewer: "Affordable, responsive, punctual and flexible". Highly recommended. read more

Mehmet, Michelle, and their team were really excellent to work with! They made our wedding day run so seamlessly and everyone complimented the food, the ambiance, everything! We are so happy we went with Creative Foods Catering. Their pricing was very fair, they were very responsive to all of our questions and they were always willing to go the extra mile. I would recommend them to all of our friends getting married in the future! read more

First of all, thank you Michelle and Mehmet and the Creative Foods staff for catering our wedding. They were extremely helpful and accomodating throughout the entire process from start to finish. When there was a small hiccup prior to our reception (not caused by Creative Foods), Michelle and company went out of their way to dind a solution - and that they did. That is the type of service that is to be expected from them. They went above and beyond to ensure our special day was enjoyable and carefree. Worth every single penny and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Top notch food and top notch staff created a fun environment for everyone. Thank you again! read more

What can I say - It's been said so many times (which is why we picked them!), but Creative Foods Catering are excellent. They are a fantastic company whom I cannot recommend enough. Mehmet and Michelle make an incredible team - professional, understanding, affordable and communicative. We made all our arrangements in a rush, but they accommodated them all! Once we hired them, we knew we'd made the best choice. Planning was a breeze. Our wedding on 1.6.16 was a huge success, not in small part to the amazing food that was served and the professional staff that served it. Mehmet himself was on hand to guide us and ensure everything ran smoothly and to time. Everyone, and I mean, everyone commented on the food that night, and running into friends after the event, it's clear that the food was still very much on their minds. An incredible success. Makes me want to get married all over again! Yum!! read more

Mehmet and Michelle are incredible! They make amazing, delicious, reasonably priced, attractively displayed apps, dinner and dessert! Mehmet came to our home for our tasting and we were sold from then. As we got closer to our date, Michelle did so much to put my mind at ease with all the little details and was incredibly responsive/patient. The day-of was perfectly executed, food was yummy and I did not have to worry about one thing (except for enjoying it all)! read more

Could not be happier with our choice of Creative Foods Catering. They provided us with all of the service we could hope for at a price so good I thought there must be a catch. The food was great. They took care of setting up the tables, chairs, linens, etc. Their staff was professional and on top of things during the wedding. Throughout the night they kept the venue clean and our guests happy. Our guests were complementing us on the quality of the dinner as well as the desserts even weeks after the event. read more
