    The best caterer - stop looking

    We interviewed so many caterers, at least 10. Wickey was the last one we did a tasting with and we are SO happy we decided to use them. We were told multiple times the evening of our wedding that it was the BEST wedding food our guests have ever had. Everything from cocktail hour, to our stations, was absolutely incredible. They worked with us to do a custom stationed dinner and it was so, so fresh and delicious. I can't recommend them enough to everyone we know. Choose Wickey!!

    Very Impressed!

    If you are looking for a delicious meal that will impress all your guests at a reasonable price, then look no further than Catering by Wickey! Kim and her team were great to work with and accommodated our dietary restrictions effortlessly (gluten and dairy free). The appetizers were plentiful and the served dinner of potato crusted leek chicken and brisket was delicious and a huge hit with our guests. The tableware was included in their catering packages and they rented all of linens on our behalf. Additionally, we found out that Catering by Wickey did my (the bride’s) parents’ wedding, which just goes to show that their professionalism is founded on years of experience. We really enjoyed working with them and highly recommend them! – Matt and Cecily

    Professional, friendly & delicious!

    From planning to execution, every detail was reviewed and confirmed. Attention to my vision was refreshing, not overwhelming. The entire experience gave me confidence that our party was going to be great and allowed me to relax once the party started. I would highly recommend Wickey's for any event you are planning.

    Special moments

    The Wickey team provided us with a plated wedding dinner that was amazing, and they provided a great buffet rehearsal dinner. Wickey helped us through the whole wedding process. They helped so much beyond food.

    It was a pleasure to be a part of your wedding weekend! Best Wishes from our team going forward for you and your bride!

    Amazing food with amazing service!

    First off, I had never heard of Wickey or had their food before so I decided to take a total leap of faith from WeddingWire reviews & so so glad we did! My husband & I both REALLY cared about having great food for our day! We had the BEST dinners, hor d'oeuvres, and cocktails! We actually got compliments ALL night and are still receiving compliments from friends & family! We had chosen 3 choices for dinners; New York strip medallions, Crab stuffed shrimp & Chicken Scallopini- ALL were AMAZING!!! Caesar Salad, Penne Pasta with homemade Vodka Sauce & all the hor d'oeuvres (ESPECIALLY the Korean Beef Skewers, wing bar & charcuterie board) were delicious!

    Wickey & Kim Greene were so helpful when planning and creating a menu that fit our style & theme of our wedding! We made MULTIPLE changes & they were so helpful with changes and additions along the way. They really pay attention to ALL the details, and really care about presentation! We were able to have mimosas served to the bridal suite & beers poured for the groomsmen getting ready! Cocktail hour foods & drinks were raved about (get their champagne Kir Royale!). The plating of each salad, pasta & dinners were absolutely beautiful. ALL of the employees presented themselves VERY professionally and were very attentive to refilling waters & cleaning off plates from the tables!

    The bartenders, the servers, Kim the event coordinator & Wickey himself were all professional & I would more than recommend this catering company for any occasion!!! Thank you for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

    Catering by Wickey's reply:

    Brittney, thank you so much for your generosity in writing your review of us ! Your wedding day was absolutely phenomenal and THANK GOD we beat the rain that day !
    We strived to make your day as easy as we possibly could so you could enjoy your husband and your time with your guests!
    No bride should stress about their food and service on their day !
    Our staff was especially elated to find all the Italian desserts downstairs and the CANNOLIS!!!!! Hidden in the fridge😉
    I wish you both the best as you grow together and love each other as forever partners in this journey !

    Wickey's was AWESOME!

    All the people I dealt with at Wickey's were awesome. Tasting was good, day of event food was amazing. They did great set up and tear down and I didn't even see it. It was all seamless. They did a great job of packing up everything and sending it along. My daughter is using this caterer again in September, and I can't wait - and have no worries that they will do an amazing job again!

    Catering by Wickey's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words! We were honored to serve you and prepare the meal for you and your guests!

    Excellent Service, Delicious Food

    Wickey was amazing to work with from the start. They were always attentive to our requests and needs, personable, professional, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Their food was delicious- we chose chicken with their basal cream sauce- and all of our guests loved it. I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

    Excellent catering company and a pleasure to work with!

    We found Wickey through the wedding wire app. We are very glad you chose Wickey for our wedding. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. We received many compliments on the food as well as the service. I worked with Heather for the all the planning and had a wonderful experience. Covid made things very stressful as well as a lot of uncertainties. Wickey was very flexible and accommodating. Heather was extremely organized and thorough and went above and beyond to help us with our wedding day. I would highly recommend Wickey!

    Wonderful to work with!

    We hired Wickey for our clients wedding on 8/22/20. From the initial conversation to the tasting to the execution of the actual event, Wickeys team was professional, prompt and efficient.

    We had to add on extra wait staff last minute, due to another vendor backing out. Wickey was quick to help us out and get the situation resolved by adding on additional wait staff with his team.

    We would definitely work with them again and recommend them to anyone in search of a professional and reliable caterer who offers exceptional food.

    Catering by Wickey's reply:

    Thank you so much Sarah! We enjoyed working with your team to make the day seamless! When things began to fall apart earlier in the week, your team pulled everything together quickly and smoothly so that the special couples day was not affected!

    Great Service!

    We couldn’t have asked for a better catering company. They worked with us so last minute when we had to switch around our wedding for Covid.

    Catering by Wickey's reply:

    Thank you Morgan! You and your family were great to work with!
    Even though your wedding was postponed and the situation called for a residential wedding, everything looked GREAT!
    Best Wishes!

    Wedding at our home

    We wanted our wedding guests to have exceptional food and drinks. Our guests made numerous comments expressing how much they enjoyed the food. The staff was professional and attentive to detail. The owner and staff are very accommodating to the wants and needs of the customer.

    Wickey is great to work with. He's so passionate about food you can't help but be excited about what he's going to make. He was flexible and incredibly responsive. He worked with me to make sure most of the meal was gluten free (I and several guests can't have gluten) and the food was incredible. I went with stations which was exactly what I wanted and passed hors d'oeuvres for the cocktail hour. He also made the most delicious peach bellini and old fashion for our specialty cocktails that everyone loved. Everything went smoothly and everyone loved the food.

    Wickey was recommended by our reception venue contact, Susan at Glenview Mansion, and I am really happy with the delicious food and high quality services Wickey provided on our wedding day. I and my husband were actually skeptical about this vendor because we coulnd't find any review online. But after visiting three different caterers, we both think Wickey provided the most delicious food and outstanding service with very reasonable price. And after meeting him, we felt that we probably know why there is no review for him online- Wickey does business in an old fashion way, he relies on word-of-mouth and does not ask his customers to give him any reviews online.

    Wickey is very enthusiastic about catering and he is very professional with what he is doing. I guess he spends most of his time trying to fulfill his customers' needs and provide the best services but does not spend that much time on marketing. He really cared a lot about our event and fulfilled all the special requirements we had. We had him provide all the food, drink, even cake and centerpieces on our wedding. It turned out wonderful. Everyone complimented on the drink and the food, and people love the unique centerpiece and table arrangement Wickey set up.

    We are really thankful that Susan recommended Wickey to us, or we may never found this vendor by ourselves. We also feel that we are so lucky to have Wickey cater for our weeding so we didn't need to worry about it from beginning to the end and everything turned out to be so beautiful and delicious.

    I highly recommended Wickey to anyone who are seeking a caterer to bring you delicious food, elegant table arrangement and great services with reasonable budget!

    Great food at a great price, but communication at times a challenge

    I hired Catering by Wickey for my September 2022 wedding. I wanted to work with a company that made delicious, inventive food at a reasonable price. Wickey definitely covered all those bases! We had fun creating a personalized menu with Cliff, who also helped us make decisions about flatware, napkins, drink offerings, etc. that fit our vision and our budget. I felt we paid a very reasonable price, considering many competitors in the area were far more expensive for similar quality, or around the same price but much more informal than what we wanted. The food at the tasting, cocktail hour, and reception were all delicious. The staff was very timely and professional during our event. To provide some constructive criticism (and explain why I only gave 4/5 stars), I do think this company could improve their communication skills. After we booked them, a noticeable number of emails went unanswered; or, when they were answered, at times it took weeks, if not months, for them to do so. It was also difficult at times to reach Cliff by phone, particularly in the weeks leading up to the event. If other employees picked up, they seemed unable to meaningfully help us. I’m not sure if they’re just short staffed or if it’s an organizational issue, but this somewhat soured my experience with them. I know my messages were read as requests I only made in writing were fulfilled the day of the wedding, but I would have appreciated a simple acknowledgement or quick phone call. When we could get a hold of Cliff, he was extremely pleasant and apologetic, and he was excellent at his job otherwise. But this was an issue that potential clients should be aware of.

    Disappointed wedding day catering

    I was not very impressed with wickeys catering and our experience AT ALL. When my husband and I chose wickeys to cater our wedding we were working with Kim. Kim was extremely helpful, always checking in and was very experienced and able to help us plan for things I did not even realize should be done or should be done a certain way. She was very responsive to emails/calls and always answered my questions. Fast forward a few months when Kim had left Heather had then taken over. Heather reached out and asked to talk to go over our selections so she could be on the same page. I tried to be patient as I am sure she was dealing with a lot trying to take on all of the events. She was not very responsive at all and when I would finally get a response It was short and did not always answer my questions. When planning previously with Kim we asked that anything that we could get be taken off of the list and we would pick it up. This included ice in which I did not think was a big deal until 1-2 weeks before the wedding when I had to confirm again with Heather how many bags and I was told 50-20 pound bags. I initially thought this was a typo but it was not so I asked her to add it back and we would pay for it and I was told she was unable. Fast forward to the day of the wedding and Kim had initially told me she would have drink orders and appetizers brought to us because most times the bridal party does not get any. My husband and I had to have our day of coordinator hunt someone down for these and when we got them they were cold. Then my husband and I were having our dinner alone so we could eat without being talked to the whole time and our food was cold. I thought it might have been a fluke thing but I had many of guests tell me theirs was cold as well. I was also very disappointed to have only seen Heather at the end of the night when someone had to find her so we could give her the tips for the staff. I am just very disappointed as when we chose wickeys we felt like we did not have to worry about anything, the food was delicious at the tasting and then the day of did not play out how we anticipated.

    Horrible Experience!

    Hired Wickey to cater my daughter's wedding. Out of the blue, I received an email stating he had to close, could not cater the wedding, and he anticipated his attorney would be in contact about the advance deposit. I responded asking for his attorney's name. I have not heard anything and Wickey would not answer phone calls. Fast forward....he has now filed for bankruptcy and a number of us are out our deposits and some the entire cost of the catering. Checking online this man has owned Wickey Catering/TEK Cuisine. My guess is he filed for bankruptcy then as well.

    Wickey is a theif

    We booked Catering by Wickey several months ago. Two weeks before our wedding (and on the day of my brother's funeral) we received a generic email that they were closing effective immediately. No mention of our $6000 deposit which we will need to hire a replacement caterer. They have been completely unresponsive and dodging our emails and phone calls ever since. They have been ghosting us for a month now.
