Christiani's VIP Catering Service 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,100
  • Serves West Des Moines, IA

Christiani's VIP Catering was founded over 40 years ago by lifelong partners Larry & Carol Christiani. These two, with family, have turned a passion into a profession! Originating from the east coast, Christianis has brought "New England Flare" to the Des Moines Metro!

We loved working with Christiani's VIP Catering Service for our wedding! Their communication was always fast, responsive, clear and detailed which made planning super easy. The quality and value were fantastic - the food was delicious with beautiful plating, and they offered great vegan and gluten-free options to accommodate all our guests. They were very timely in their setup and service the day-of, and we got tons of compliments from guests raving about the amazing food and service! There were so many positive remarks on their customer service as well. We would highly recommend Christiani's - they helped make our wedding day special and stress-free when it came to the food and catering.

Gateway Market is a locally-owned specialty foods store, café, and wholesale bakery (South Union Bread Company) that also provides full-service, off-site catering. We've been catering around the Des Moines metro and surrounding areas since 2008. Being based out of a grocery store, wholesale bakery and as part of Orchestrate Hospitality, we offer a level of convenience and familiarity not readily found anywhere else in Central Iowa.

Gateway Market Catering was absolutely fantastic! The food was incredible—people are still raving about it even months later. Kelly was amazing to work with, answering all our questions and making the process so smooth. The service the night of our wedding was outstanding, as well; the staff was attentive, professional, and made everything run seamlessly. I couldn’t recommend them more highly for their amazing food, exceptional service, and professionalism!

The Tangerine Food Company 

5.0

  • Starts at $600
  • Serves West Des Moines, IA

The Tangerine Food Company offers outstanding catering services to the Des Moines community. We strive to make your event special and memorable. Our food is freshly prepared and sourced locally from farmers markets and community producers. Your event will be special from the first delicious cocktail to the last bite of sumptuous dessert. Cherry and Susan share a passion for fresh food, well-prepared and beautifully displayed. They have been preparing food together socially and professionally for almost two decades.

We booked Tangerine Food Co. from the recommendation of a wedding planner in the area, because we don’t live there and aren’t able to taste test anything. We were absolutely thrilled with our food, which were hors-d’œuvres during cocktail hour, a large buffet dinner, and a dessert table as well as our cutting cake. Everything was fresh, hot and DELICIOUS! We had so many guests comment on how good the food was, which doesn’t always happen at weddings. Pernilla the owner was wonderful to work with, super communicative, and an all around lovely person. They also were able to accommodate a few different food allergies because I can’t eat gluten and even had options for vegetarian entrees. If I had to do it all over again, Tangerine would be my first vendor booked. 11/10 HIGHLY recommend.
