It was absolutely a fantastic experience working with Kari and Kevin. They made our wedding and rehearsal dinners unique, delicious and a total joy. They were easy to work with and completely collaborative.

Little Lily’s Kitchen was a true delight to work with. Kari is very thorough when it came to planning the days events, making sure that no detail was left behind. Kevin, the chef, took our love story and built a truly delicious menu. From the hors d’oeuvres and the oyster bar, to the dinner and the signature cocktails, Little Lily’s Kitchen made our wedding day magical, memorable, and tasty.

We decided to have our wedding at Castle Green in part because of the bespoke catering services of Little Lily's Kitchen, and boy oh boy did they deliver. Everything from the hors d'ourves to entrees were incredible. They worked to make everything just to our taste, using our favorite ingredients, while also leveraging their years of catering experience to ensure that everything (or at least something) would be palatable to all our guests. We had a number of vegetarians at our wedding and they took this seriously, producing an excellent and unique vegetarian dish. Every guest that we spoke to raved unprompted about the food and service from Kari, chef Kevin, and the rest of the crew. Developing the menu with them and selecting all the details was a joy as well and they made the process so streamlined and painless, a huge help for us as we were on a tighter timeline. Kari was warm and responsive, answering our questions quickly and making sure that every detail was perfect. All-in-all my only wish is that we could have them cater an event for us once a month so we could have more and more of their delicous food.

Kari & Kevin are the team you want to partner with for catering on your wedding day! I've seen their creations over the years working alongside them at Castle Green and they are just the best! Who else can do personal Beef Wellington's for 60 wedding guests?! I've watched Kari take extra time to work and problem solve with planners on the day and seen her walk around to make sure everything is seamless and smooth with bar and food service for the guests. Kevin is tops, he always has things running with the team in the back kitchen. I'm veg and they knock that out of the park every time too, not just some bland pasta and sauce. They are some of my favorite wedding vendors in the whole LA area! Highly, highly recommend!

Little Lily's was such a pleasure to work with for our wedding in 2023! We were married at Castle Green in Pasadena, and Kari and Kevin worked with us to create a menu that matched our stories and our venue.
Everything ended up absolutely perfect! From the cocktails to the canapés to our tablescapes to the desserts, the entire night was an amazing experience for us and our guests. Kari and her team were on top of the service, and she was personally making sure that the bride and groom were attended to.
We are so glad that we got the opportunity to work with Kari and Kevin, and we will make it a point to stop in the Henry Parsons Project (their restaurant in Pasadena) when we want more delicious food and memories of our special day!

Ordered off of skip. Burgers were good. Unfortunately the chicken fingers were still raw in the middle.

Little Lily’s Kitchen was one of the preferred vendors for our venue, Castle Green. We were able to work with them to create a completely unique and bespoke menu that fit our personalities and tastes. Kari and Kevin were very collaborative and brought in great ideas and suggestions – for example we love pizza and had wanton pepperoni pizza rolls as one of our appetizers that was suggested by them. I also originally come from the Southeast and we had a Carolina sauce with our pulled pork sliders, again suggested by Kari and Kevin. They spent the time getting to know us and our food at the wedding felt personal because of those great details. We did a tasting at their restaurant of the full menu and only needed to make a few minor tweaks as everything tasted good. It was essentially a private meal and a great opportunity to work with the team to have exactly the type of food we wanted. They also helped us with our rentals, the color scheme, table settings, and stylistic choice for the venue. It was very convenient to have all the rentals, food, and the open bar through Little Lily’s Kitchen which made everything easier and the wedding day went by very smoothly. We got lots of compliments from our guests about the food and we got to enjoy some yummy leftovers ourselves!

Chef Kevin, Kari, and the entire team at Little Lily’s Kitchen were incredible to work with at our February 2022 wedding at the Castle Green in Pasadena. They really took the time to get to know us and our food preferences beforehand. Knowing we were big foodies, they want all out with super creative, restaurant quality dishes that were not only delicious and unique but also aesthetically pleasing. They also helped us with beautiful linens and special vintage glassware. Everyone raved about the food, and Kevin and Kari were so kind, fun, helpful, and easy to work with. We also held our after wedding brunch at their newly remodeled kitchen and venue and it was gorgeous and delicious! Highly recommend.

Wow! Little Lily's just catered our outdoor birthday celebration and we couldn't be happier. The food was fabulous, the staff and owners are great to work with, and they did everything flawlessly. Kari and Kevin created the menu with our group in mind and it was all delicious. They made sure everything went smoothly and kept the guests happy. Everything they do is professional and very personalized. They will be my first call for my next party!
Rochelle Siegrist
Absolutely delicious, from apps to mains to desserts! It was all sublime and the staff attention was superb. We got to meet Kari, which was also a treat!
We didn't know how amazing the food and beverages at our wedding could be - but with Little Lily's, dare to dream! Chef Kevin, Kari, and the entire team deliver the highest quality and hospitality around. They've never done the same menu twice so they got to know us and then came up with a menu that was thoughtful yet collaborative with us. As if we weren't excited enough for our wedding meal, Chef found a way to work with all of my allergies and for the first time in memory I could eat anything that was there! People always bring up how great the food was whenever we talk about the wedding and I still dream about some of the things we ate. To Kevin, Kari, and the whole team at Little Lily's - THANK YOU! You made the wedding planning process fun, exciting, easy... and delicious!

If you let Kevin and Kari do their magic, your guests will have one of the absolute best meals of their life. Period. If you are a serious foodie, these are your people. I knew LLK was our soul-caterer when in our initial phone meeting Kevin asked us to describe our #1 dining experience. If you can dream it, Little Lily's will do everything in their power to make it happen. We weren't into cookie-cutter caterers and Little Lily's came to the rescue with a fully custom menu. In addition to their culinary expertise, they gave us extremely valuable wedding advice along the way. They absolutely care about you and your happiness and their prices are very fair. Finally, the execution of all our magnificent plans went above and beyond the day of the wedding. Their waitstaff was charismatic, pleasant, and joyful.
Fun Facts:
Kevin came up with the fantastic idea to double the kitchen as entertainment. Guests were able to watch the chefs as our meal was assembled. They loved it!
They made my cheese "cake" dream come true! I asked them for a tiered stack of cheese for our desert and they made a MASTERPIECE!

Guest count: 17
Appetizers: Passed (they were divine)

We’re so grateful to Little Lily’s Kitchen for making our wedding day both delicious and stress-free. From the beginning, Kevin and Kari were outstanding, professional, and kind in all respects. They responded quickly to our (many) e-mails and their vegan/vegetarian choices were so delicious that even the carnivores picked them! Their mix of responsiveness and helpful suggestions gave us dinner choices that satisfied everyone. We appreciate that, on hearing our budget, they worked with us to make something we were all happy with, and their prices were very fair, especially considering the high quality food and service we received. Thank you for all the creative solutions and delicious food! We loved our menu and our guests did too--thank you, Kevin and Kari for being so flexible and for making that part of our day so special!
