Key Ingredients Catering

Exceptional Service for a Milestone Celebration!
I hired this company to celebrate a milestone birthday, and their service was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish.

From our initial consultation, they demonstrated a commitment to thorough planning. They conducted an in-person walk-through of the location, helping me craft a perfect outdoor setup while also developing a solid indoor backup plan in case of rain. For instance, they even advised me to move a trampoline to optimize the outdoor space.

As the date approached, they kept me well-informed with regular weather forecast updates. The day before the party, around 4 PM, they confidently made the call for an outdoor celebration, which turned out to be a huge success.

Even with unexpected challenges, they excelled at improvisation. We encountered significant wind, which repeatedly extinguished the flame for the outdoor paella. Without missing a beat, they found an alternative cooking location to ensure the paella was ready on time – a true testament to their quick thinking and dedication!

They seamlessly integrated into my event schedule, working with me to have the buffet and everything else ready for dinner right after my opening remarks and games. They even offered assistance during the birthday cake presentation.

The team was incredibly respectful and friendly throughout the entire event. They arrived punctually two hours before the party started and left on time, ensuring a smooth setup and breakdown. They handled all the cleanup, collecting trash and even packing up all the leftover food for me. Throughout the event, they consistently checked in to ensure everything was going well.

Their meticulous planning and ability to adapt made for a stress-free and truly memorable birthday celebration. I highly recommend them!

We contacted Key ingredients for a last-minute lunch after a memorial service. We did not know whether our location would have a refrigerator or any kitchen facilities, so we were very limited in what we could select to serve. We worked with Kamila who assisted us in creating a beautiful sandwich, salad and dips buffet. The food was delivered in a timely way, and it was delicious! Our guests commented on the tastiness and quality of the food - it was all much appreciated.

Their team catered our corporate event. The food was great and Natalie made the ordering process easy. When there was a delivery mix-up, the team gave us no issue with delivery on the day of the event.

I was just at a function catered by you all and the food and presentation were fab!!!!
Will def call you for any event I need food at!

We recently worked with Key Ingredients Catering for a Celebration of Life event, and their service was nothing short of outstanding. Their team went above and beyond in helping us set up for the event, even bringing extra tablecloths at the last minute, which was a lifesaver. The food was absolutely amazing – beautifully presented and delicious. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the quality and taste of the dishes. We'd work with them again in heartbeat. Thanks for everything!

Food spectacular and amazing service.

Key Ingredients catered a conference of 200 attendees at the NIH in Bethesda. Everything was right on time and set up / displayed perfectly. Food was outstanding and catering staff was great. Highly recommended!

Key Ingredients Catering catered two dinners for us during the weekend of my husband’s funeral. Food was spectacular, delicious, imaginatively presented, with gracious and professional service and , as they advertise, took care of everything, helping figure out tables and seating in a limited space and flexible and responsive to special requests. Bravo!! And many thanks

Exceptional service, great food! Super efficient!

Key ingredients are well organized and their food is great

We used Javier’s services this past Saturday for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier! Javier was so responsive and helpful before the event, and the food was DELICIOUS. Every single dish was wonderful, and it really was the bow on top of our favorite day ever. We cannot recommend Key Ingredients enough!!!

Javier was amazing! Our mom had passed away, so we were in a time crunch to put a memorial reception together. I had contacted about 20 caterers, and Javier was the first to reply, and was consistent in his responses. He was patient with me as I had a few different menu changes as I wasn't thinking the most clearly. The food was delicious and the presentation was everything I had hoped for, and he also hooked me up with an incredible florist. The whole thing came together so well with his help. His staff was extremely polite, professional, and hard working. I couldn't have asked for anything more or better, and I am pretty picky. I also rarely take the time to write reviews. But Key Ingredients Catering deserves a FANTASTIC one!

I needed a caterer at the very, very last minute. I spoke with a gentleman who was very nice and professional. He came up with a delicious sounding menu and a contract overnight and all for a very reasonable price. I did not end up using their services (although I wished my son had) but based on my contact with them I highly recommend them and would use them in the future for any event that needs a caterer. Thank you so much.
