Marcus and the team at Culinary Creations catered our wedding a couple weeks ago and it was amazing. Marcus was great to work with - he was super flexible with meal options as we planned the event leading up to the wedding - and the food tasted delicious and looked amazing as well. Our guests are still talking about how beautifully prepared the food was and how great it tasted.

This is the worst experience I’ve ever had with a vendor. Avoid!! Marcus mismanaged my wedding catering from start to finish by changing the menu cost and details multiple time’s leading up to the wedding, including 8 days prior to the wedding day. Pulling this out of nowhere. He informed us he would refund our deposit if we were unhappy. When we engaged with another vendor and then reached back out to him for our refund, he suddenly said he would no longer honor what he said he would do. This was the cause of much distress right up to our wedding day. Simply put this is a disorganized and unprofessional proprietor who is very poor at operating a business. There are FAR better food options than this one. We were forced to go with another caterer (who was excellent) after being mislead on our refund and overall objectionable treatment. I would Never recommend this caterer to anyone.

Marcus is a poor business owner, with terrible disposition and attitude. Avoid.He will make your wedding planning a nightmare. He’s terrible at managing his business and poor communicator. There were so many inconsistencies talking to him about the menu, guest count and prices. When we confronted him so he could clarify he had the worst attitude, and literally threw a tantrum saying he would just give us the money back if we wanted. All one week before our wedding. Of course he didn’t return the money. Thank God we had the support of other vendors and our wedding planner to find a solution -all one week before our wedding.- Plus he doesn’t own a lot of the equipment which he will charge you for additionally (yes, lots of hidden fees). If you are a couple looking to get married in the Wilmington, NC area , do your favor and save yourself a LOT of headaches. Do not hire this company and stay away from Marcus.

Cannot recommend Marcus and Culinary Creations enough. Marcus was incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process and we wouldn't want any one else catering our wedding. Many of our guests are still raving about the meal and have said it was one of the best meals they've had. And we fully agree. Thank you!

Marcus cooked for our wedding many moons ago. We just got take out from him a couple weeks ago and I told a friend we were getting food from caterer that did our wedding. My friend said "the shrimp and grits at your wedding was best I have ever had in my life" We enjoyed them a couple weeks ago! Highly recommend

Marcus and his team at Culinary Creations was an amazing addition to our wedding vendor team! We were blown away at our tasting and knew before we even left that we HAD to hire him as our wedding chef. His food is SO delicious and unique - not at all like your typical wedding food. He incorporated flavors of the season and created a menu for us that we wouldn't have gotten anywhere else! Many of our guests came up to us at the wedding (and well after) to tell us how much they LOVED the food. Food was an important detail of our wedding and Marcus created an unforgettable meal! When Covid hit, he was very flexible with our changes to our guest count, serving style and venue! We are so glad that we chose Culinary Creations to be a part of our Dream Team!

Marcus is one of the best chefs in the area. We highly recommend him and his company for parties, events and cooking classes.

Marcus is a phenomenal chef and it really shows through his food! Typically catered food can be hit or miss, but not with Marcus! He created a menu just for us and everything was as fresh as can be, not to mention flavorful! We had multiple compliments about the food at our wedding and a few folks request his services for future events. You can’t go wrong with chef Marcus at Culinary Creations!
Maruc Buric is flat-out phenomenal. From the initial phone call, through the planning, through the tasting, through the event itself, and through the follow-up, every Culinary Creations step was perfectly executed. The food was off-the-hook. Not even kidding here. Marcus is a Culinary Institute graduate, and he is every bit the master chef. But it doesn't stop at the food. His staff was superb. The presentation was beautiful. The service was exemplary. My guests were blown away. If your special event requires top-tier food, then Marcus Buric and Culinary Creations is the caterer and catering company you're looking for. Don't believe me.Go for a tasting. Five stars. Incredible.

I would recommend Culinary Creations to anybody in the world, when Marcus Buric gets an assistant to handle his emails/phone calls/communications. Marcus is a culinary genius and the food for our big day was extremely delicious. Our guests are still talking about it and he creates the menu WITH you, not for you! We had a Mexican Menu that was half vegan and half non-vegan and he came up with a way to fuse it all together and still made it delicious!! His only downfall, and quite possibly his biggest, is the lack of organization throughout the process. We are unsure if he is too busy for his own good, but it was common that he was unable to remember who I was as his client, he could not keep certain concepts we'd previously discussed straight and he often mixed up many things throughout the planning process. I did not mind the unorganized process until we were 1 week out from the wedding and he still was getting mixed up that our wedding was family style and not buffet style; he purchased all the ingredients for something that was completely opposite of what we talked about and when I pressed him for answers he raised his voice at me and refused to acknowledge what I was saying to him.That being said, in the few days after that he eventually apologized and made everything happen the way we had originally discussed. His waitstaff and bartenders were incredible and their bedside manner was much appreciated. Marcus is a great choice and a fantastic option for your wedding day, but he needs someone to help him on the business side of things so that he can become the BEST choice for your wedding day.
