We decided to do a stations style dinner for our wedding as this is something they specialize in. The food was so good and we have gotten so many comments from our guests that this was the best wedding food they've ever had.

Food and service was top notch! Some of the best wedding food I have ever had.

Taste to Go catered my best friend's wedding and it was AMAZING. The bruschetta bar was life changing and I wish I could order it in smaller form. :) Cannot recommend them enough. Everyone loved all the food!

Taste to Go catered our wedding at Curate in Des Moines and our guests were raving! We went with the stations option to give guests some variations on food, and most of our guests ate at all the stations! I can't even count the number of times I was told it was the best wedding food they've ever had. This was so amazing and delicious, I highly recommend this team!

I got the opportunity of working with these individuals on an event in the fall and it was one of the best experiences I have had when dealing with caterers. They got an idea of what I was looking for and my budget constraints and provided me with menu options that went above and beyond! I got so many compliments from individuals in attendance. So this is a 100% recommend for me.

My wife and I hired them for our wedding reception. We could not have been more pleased. Their attention to detail before, during, and after the event was excellent. Their planner, Emily, was a pleasure to work with, and their on-site staff could not have been better. And most importantly, the food was perfect and drew nothing but compliments from our guests. We would recommend them without hesitation.

Taste! To Go catered our daughter's wedding ~ the service was simply amazing. From the happy hour with passed appetizer and signature cocktails to the plated and served dinner and beautiful dessert tables it was fantastic. We had so many of our guests comment on the delicious food and elegant displays. Their staff is professional, high quality and very easy to work with. They know their business well and are outstanding at what they do. Simply, the Best!

Our guests made a point of exclaiming over the food, and several asked the name of the caterer. We were very, very pleased with the result. Thanks to A Taste To Go and all the servers for making it a memorable night.Sincerely,Sherry Hagen

Taste! catered our wedding on 4/9/2016 and they made our day so wonderful. Throughout the planning process, Emily was super responsive and so helpful with her knowledge of our venue (Sticks) and her flexibility as we changed our minds on what type of food and what type of bar we'd like for the evening. She made great suggestions and helped us to put together a menu that far exceeded what we hoped for that night. The night of the wedding was fabulous. We had a cheese block that everyone raved about and a full bar from Taste! We had originally thought about bringing in our own wine and beer, and since we had already purchased a few cases of wine ourselves, Taste let us add those in to use for the night. Before my husband and I made our grand entrance, a waiter came up to us and asked what we were drinking. Once we made it into the reception, we had both of our drinks waiting for us at the table (an awesome touch!). Our menu was a family style dinner, and we received so many compliments about how delicious the food was. Several "best wedding food ever" comments were made- we were also so impressed by the staff. They were always around when you needed them, but their presence wasn't intrusive. The perfect way to be as a server! Our guests loved that the staff came around to ensure everyone had enough food. So accommodating! Finally, we had a late night snack from Sticks- a Portillo's style Italian Beef sandwich with chips... it was DELICIOUS! We loved them and so did our guests! Bottom line, we would 100% recommend Taste to anyone looking for a delicious meal and helpful staff. You won't go wrong with them! THANK YOU, Taste team!

HIGHLY recommend Taste! to Go! Their professionalism and attention to detail is unmatchable. Their food is absolutely delicious and presentation is beautiful. We were put in quite the bind for our wedding and they MORE than accommodated us and treated us with nothing but kindness and understanding. Emily was a delight to work with! Would recommend Taste! to anyone! Truly a respectable business that puts the customer first!

Tanner and I have worked with Taste for weddings we have photographed and hired them for our own wedding this Sept. Emily & team has been WONDERFUL helping us plan and make it unique to us food and decor wise. Highly recommend them in the Des Moines area for catering for your party or wedding!

Taste! To Go catered my wedding in July 2013 and did an AMAZING job. Their food is top notch and pricing is very reasonable for the high quality food and service delivered. Their specialty is stations (which we did) but they do all types of catering and sit-down dinners. Their staff is full service, very easy to work with...even helping us figure out the seating needs and rentals. They made my wedding day so easy and did I say the food was amazing? Highly recommend the mussels station! Thanks Taste to Go!

We have used Taste To Go several times for catering business lunches. Their sandwiches are great. We usually order box lunches so our groups can do "working lunches". They always arrive on time, good prices and have a nice variety of various sandwiches. We have had so many greats comments, we started using them almost exclusively.

We recently had Taste do our reception appetizer style. They were great to coordinate and discuss all our options with. The staff that was present to run the bar and deliver the food were outstanding. You never even knew they were there..in a good way. They passed the food and kept our guests' glasses full. The food was outstanding and everyone was very happy with the selection, taste, and freshness. I definitely recommend them for any event you need catering done at. We will be using them again!
