14 Best Caterers in Des Moines

“Julie and her team are the best. I've attended a number of events that she's catered. Recently, she did my daughter's wedding and we received tons of compliments on the food and service provided by Sunflower Chef Catering.“

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Christiani’s Catering for our wedding reception. They provided both our plated dinner and bar service, and everything was handled beautifully from start to finish.

As a family-run business, Christiani’s brought such genuine warmth and kindness to the entire experience. Peter was incredibly communicative throughout the planning process and endlessly patient with my many questions. He made sure we felt informed and confident in every detail leading up to the wedding.

On the wedding day itself, the service ran so seamlessly behind the scenes that, amid all the excitement and activity, I never had to give the catering a second thought. The waitstaff were professional, attentive, and exceptionally kind, and the entire evening seemed to unfold flawlessly.

The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the drinks were excellent. We received so many compliments from our guests and could not have been happier with our choice. We are deeply grateful to Peter, his family, and the entire Christiani’s team for helping make our reception such a wonderful experience.“

“I heard about Hot Tamale on the news and had to try it for myself. Talk about delicious. I ended up going back twice in the same week so that I could get tamales for my family and friends. We liked the pork best and the green salsa was fantastic. Highly recommend if you are on the south side.“

“We had dinner delights for our wedding. Was such good food. Staff was so friendly and always on top of it. Would highly recommend to everyone“

“Excellent customer service! They really care about their customers. Food is amazing too.“

“We ordered the chicken parmesan for a lunch meeting and it was fabulous! It came with pasta, marinara sauce, salad, dinner rolls, and of course the melt in your mouth brownies and cookies! Great job In the Bag Corporate Cuisine.“

“Amazing and gourmet food, loved the cheese box charcuterie board offerings for Thanksgiving which also made beautiful gifts for family & friends. Fantastic and safe curb side service. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Super friendly, great energy… AND they DOUBLE layered it. AMAZING 🤩“

“I don’t know where to start or if there are even enough words to speak on behalf of the team that catered our company party. The food was good but the staff were the stars. At one point a few were dancing through the venue, laughing and joking with our team. At one point, we offered them soda, only to find out one of the members was 71 which had us all begging for her skincare routine because she looked nowhere near her age. Every encounter with the catering team was amazing and had a lasting impression on us. I’m from Seattle and hoping I encounter another great team like the one we had at Hello, Marjorie that evening.“

“We stopped here at the last minute and they did not disappoint! Their food is amazing! Highly recommend stopping if you’re hungry.“

“I reached out to them about serving food for a company event and they were AMAZING. Very kind people and they did a great job, and their food is delicious! Another food truck bailed on us last minute and Roadside Tacos helped pick up their slack and ended up serving more people than anticipated. No one left hungry. I will definitely keep them in mind for future events!“

“We tried this for our first time today. Loved it! Got the flautas and chicken fajita chimichanga. Soo good! This is our new fave Mexican place.“
