We hired Culinary Artz for our wedding of about 50 guests. We are foodies and wanted our reception to focus on the menu and Michael and his team did not disappoint!! Everything tasted phenomenal! We had a cocktail style reception, with passed hors d'oeuvres, followed by a variety of stations including a pasta station, Oyster, Carving and Slider station! Each station was amazing! Guests raved about the food all night! My uncle pulled me aside and told me that the food was "hands down better than any wedding he had ever been to and even better than most restaurants." Michael was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. He was very hands on and directly involved even in the early planning stages. He provided the table and chair rentals along with the linens and had options for the Arch, pool coverings and tents. Culinary Artz will be able to assist with all of your wedding planning needs. His staff was friendly and extremely professional. 100 out of 10 and would recommend for all occasions! Many catering companies pump out several events in an evening and the food is sub bar. This is not the case with Culinary Arts, Michael is the Executive Chef and owner of Culinary Arts and he is personally involved in each event from day 1 of the booking all the way to the execution. He makes everything from scratch with fresh ingredients and You can tell he is passionate about what he does and the food / menu will speak for itself.

Bride here! Culinary Artz catered my wedding of about 80 people. The food was delicious. I asked for mainly vegan and vegetarian options, with a few fish options for meat eaters, and everyone kept giving compliments about the food. The mango cream cake was also perfect. Creamy and not too sweet, so good I had 2 big slices. I was also really happy with the catering staff, they were all friendly and helpful, with a cheerful attitude. The Day of Coordinator, Juliana, was on top of everything. She was prepared and proactive the whole day. I really felt in good hands from the start. Michael, the head chef, is all about the details & he made the time and effort to ask the right questions, checking in with me way before the wedding date, and carefully explaining all our options. Sincerely, thank you to the Catering Artz team. You all made our special day wonderful. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

I hired Culinary Artz for my mom's 75th birthday party. We had roughly 40 people and did it in a small space at the Old Davie School. I couldn't have had a better experience. Michael walked me through the whole process, helped me pick a good menu, learned to make a special dessert (my mom's favorite: pineapple upside down cake), and even figured out how to make a few gluten free versions for members of my family who have allergies. I was planning the party from out of town and didn't have a chance to see the venue beforehand. Michael drove by on his own time to look at it and make sure we'd have enough space. This was a real seat-of-the-pants affair because I couldn't be in town until the day of the party, but Michael and his staff rolled with all the punches and provided us with an evening we'll never forget.

I was lucky enough to come across Culinary Artz Catering when looking for a caterer for our end of the school year appreciation party. With over 100 substitute teachers attending I was looking for affordable but also wanted it to show the gratitude and appreciation these ladies and gentleman deserved. Michael put together the perfect menu for the event! The food was amazing. I received many compliments and even asked for referrals. I 100% recommend Culinary Artz and look forward to using them again for future events.

Michael and his team catered an event we hosted in Parkland and I must say that it was an outstanding experience/ His professionalism and approach to the planning process was the most positive experience I've had having organized and hosted well over 85-100 events in my career. I would highly recommend them to anyone! We will use them again for my next event in south Florida if at all possible! TB

I had the pleasure and misfortune, of making the acquaintance of one of the rudest individuals I've met in a long time. As a person with a small budget, I approached chef Micheal with interest in the culinary packages seen on their website. After speaking to one of his colleagues I and my family were told that the packages had changed due to Covid-19. This was understandable. Following that conversation, we left our catering request and awaited a response for a few days. Finally, that response came yesterday. At 2:18 pm we finally spoke to chef Micheal who told us he was short on time and listed a barrage of reasons as to why they took so long to get back to us. I listened. He then stated he had to be off of the call at 2:30. However, he continued to talk the entirety of the time. I listened near the end of his lengthy speech I asked if there would be a better time to speak to him, he said after 7 pm, I said 7:45 pm is good for me. He didn't call. At 7:56 pm I gave him a callback. He entered apologetically stating that time got away from him. I was understanding. Finally, we began to talk about the services they provided and I listened. Next, I tried to explain what we were looking for and tried to get an idea of some semblance of a price range and this man kept talking in circles and being the most condescending he could be. He kept trying to say how expensive catering could be, he boasted about his culinary prowess, never once answering the questions asked. What I did learn was that the packages on the website were merely suggestions. After wasting my time, he said to me "we have hospitality so that is why we called, I don't know how to work with anyone with your budget". At this point I ended the call, I thanked him for his time and wished him a wonderful day. I never in my life have been talked down to as a petulant child. I have talked to a few other culinary caterers on this journey to find food for my wedding, and nobody else has ever spoken in a manner less than professional. For this reason alone I am rating this a one-star. Simply because I could go no lower. The saddest part is I was willing to adjust my budget based on what they could offer. I came for food not your cup of condescension.

I hired Culinary Arts to cater an Engagement party for my daughter. We attended a party previously that Mike and his team did and was so impressed that we hired him to do our event. From the beginning when Mike came to our house to view our backyard to see the venue, and throughout the planning of the menu and the coordination of the tables, chairs etc. it was smooth, professional and easy. The menu was planned just as we wanted and the food was outstanding. The staff was hard working, professional and friendly. The best way to know if a party was good is when your guests comment on how much they loved the food and service. This is a high class, quality company that you and your guests will be impressed with.

We hired Michael and his crew for two events and they were absolutely amazing! The food was spectacular and the customer service was impeccable. Michael went out of his way to ensure the menu was exactly what I was looking for and he delivered on everything. They are professional and reliable. I will definitely be using them for all my catering needs in the future!

Culinary Artz did an amazing job for our recent wedding. Michael was great with communication and let's you customize everything for your needs and budget. Food and cake were delicious and the staff was very pleasant and attentive. I would use Culinary Artz again for any future events I may have!

Culinary Artz catered my best friends wedding recently. Let me just say, they were AMAZING. Sara and Sydney did an INCREDIBLE job making his day special. They worked their tails off the entire time and did not break a sweat!They catered all vegetarian, as the bride does not eat meat. Even as a person who DOES like meat, I was very pleasantly surprised with the menu. There was tons of variety and everything was wonderful.I will absolutely be recommending this team to anyone who asks!

Culinary Artz catered my wedding and they were fantastic! I have been a vegetarian for seventeen years so it was important to me to have a vegetarian meal at our wedding. After meeting some resistance from other caterers, Micheal made it very easy and provided plenty of options for me. The food was stunning! Our guests loved it. Even my friends/family who were more skeptical of a meat free meal were going back for seconds.I cannot imagine my wedding day with any other caterer.They made everything so easy and worked hard to make sure everything was perfect. Not only did they deliver an incredible vegetarian meal but they coordinated the chairs, linens. tables, bar service, a beautiful aisle for our outdoor ceremony, passed hors d'oeuvers and a signature cocktail for cocktail hour. Michael and his staff were absolutely amazing. I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!

Culinary Artz Catering was my vendor for my wedding and it was more than I ever could have dreamed for. Michael was very detailed oriented, making sure to go over every aspect of the wedding with me. He caught many things I would have missed if he didn't bring it to my attention. His team meet me at my ceremony location to ensure that everything would be perfect on the day of. Michael and his team were even able to provide wedding chairs for me and have them delivered and picked up SAME DAY! The day before the wedding, the wedding coordinator, Cassandra, came to help us set of the venue. Her attention to detail and ability to envision what I wanted made her an amazing asset. I could not have finished without her. AND THIS IS ALL JUST BEFORE THE WEDDING!!!! I'm telling you this company is the way to go. After my wedding my guest were raving about how the appetizers at cocktail hour just kept on coming. They couldn't believe how amazing the food was and how much of it there really was. Michael made sure to coordinate with the DJ so that my buffet style dinner went swimmingly for a guest list of 150. The food was delicious and served HOT! Just the way I like it. The serving staff was friendly and continued to ask myself as well as my guest if they needed anything EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BUFFET! I'm in in awe how of special they made my wedding. Food is obviously a huge part of a wedding but the service that came along with there delicious food was unbelievably phenomenal. II LOVED THE FOOD AND THE STAFF! :) Thank you so much Michael, Cassandra, Nancy and team!

My wife and I recently hired Culinary Artz Catering for our wedding. They provide so much more than just food service. Everything from delivering and setting up the aisle runner and chairs for our wedding ceremony, the signature cocktail, hor d'oeuvres and high tops for cocktail hour, wares and champagne for the toast, a vegetarian dinner, mini cupcakes for dessert and even midnight snacks, or as we called them - drunk munchies. Along with all that they provided the linens, wares and open bar for our reception dinner and party. Having all of those goods and services provided from just one vendor really made things convenient and helped make our event a resounding success.Michael and his staff got to the venue early to get things set up for the wedding and things went off without a hitch. His waitstaff, Sara and Sydney were attentive, friendly and beyond helpful during the entire event. Ronnie, the bartender had his work cut out for him (we liked to drink) but was extremely personable and kept up no matter how many drink orders were requested of him.I can’t say enough good things about the crew, but what really hit the spot was the food. My wife is vegetarian, so we decided that we were going to have a meatless wedding. Michael created and prepared the menu and pulled it off amazingly: three kinds of hor d'oeuvres, an eggplant entree with two different pasta dishes, various breads, salad and two different midnight appetizers. Our guests were surprised at how delicious and satisfying a completely vegetarian menu can be.At the end of the evening, everything was packed and cleaned up as if we were never there. The kitchen at the venue was spotless. A huge thank you to Michael and his crew for helping us throw a party we and our friends will never forget. I strongly recommend Culinary Artz Catering! Five stars!
