Sarah Kane and the team at Culinary Art were a delight to work with! She made the entire process smooth and was a joy to work with. Sarah also provided "day-of" coordination, so I did not worry about a single thing - and was able to enjoy the day without stress.
The food was delicious, and they were happy to work with us to make our signature cocktail (blueberry vodka lemonade), even serving in Mason jars, which went with the venue &...

Culinary Art Catering helped make my wedding day PERFECT!!! I don’t know what I would have done without them. They were helpful, prompt, and professional from the first email up and until the big day. Sarah and Vivian helped me think of everything and made the day run smoothly. My family and friends LOVED the food and Culinary Art Catering’s staff. I would HIGHLY recommend Culinary Art Catering for any event. THANKS SO MUCH!!

Culinary Art Catering was the best decision we made for our wedding, hands down. We got married at the Filter Building in Dallas, which is a completely DIY venue. Vivian Morgan with Culinary Art was spectacular in helping us arrange every detail, from napkin color to menu choices. On the day of, Vivian and her team made sure everything was set up correctly and their professionalism and can-do attitude let the day go off without a hitch, and I didn't need to hire a wedding coordinator. The chef and his team proceeded to serve our guests some of the best brunch food we've ever eaten! We had people raving about the food, even after the event. I would 100% recommend Culinary Art to any couple getting married in Dallas. Go to one of their tastings and chats with Vivian and you'll see what I mean!

Hi Vivian,
Shannon and I just wanted to say a huge "Thank You" to you, as well as the rest of the Culinary Arts Catering staff. The wedding was amazing and I can't tell you how many great comments we had regarding the food and service. First, I was very surprised that Yossi actually showed up himself to direct the staff......I didn't expect that and it was a very pleasant surprise to know that he puts that much effort into making sure his customers are taken care of. I can't tell you how impressed I was with him and his staff regarding the set up. I spent about 5 minutes with him confirming the arrangements and his crew went to work and got everything done with no problems whatsoever. The food was AMAZING!!!! We got SO many compliments on how good EVERYTHING was, from beginning to end. BTW, thank you so much for the suggestion on the different flavors for the fountains....everyone loved it! At the end of the night, your staff was so sweet to pack up the extra food for us to take with us......I'll tell you not a bit of it went to waste! Shannon and I actually left before they started cleaning up, but our friends told us that your staff did an absolute amazing job of cleaning everything up.....in fact, she said it was cleaner after they got done then it was before!! The entire staff was so nice and friendly........we couldn't have asked for a better caterer! Thank you so much for your efforts...and please pass this on to Yossi and the rest of the staff. Thank you for making it a perfect night!
We will definitely be passing your name on to anyone and everyone that needs catering! Thank you again!
Michelle and Shannon

Not having been to a Culinary Art event or tasted their food, I wasn't quite sure what I would get when I booked them. All I knew was that their responsiveness, flexibility, creativity, and adaptability to my budget set them apart from other caterers I'd been speaking with. Closer to the wedding, the tasting with the chef (who is SUCH a character) really put me at ease. I knew then I was going to get a great product. (I should also note that I'm a food blogger, so the menu and quality of the food was a high priority in my planning process.) Fast forward to the wedding day, and the food was even better than I remembered. I still receive countless compliments on how delicious and original the food was. I was also very impressed with their staff - they didn't miss a beat.
I also decided to hire Vivian, their sales manager, to be my wedding coordinator on the day. Her fee is completely reasonable and her calm, cool, and collected persona is ideal for stressed-out brides and parents! She was organized, accomodating, attentive (my husband and I actual ATE at our wedding thanks to Vivian!), and kept the evening running smoothly. I even received compliments about how nicely the evening ran - never heard that one before!
To make a long story short, I am beyond thrilled that I hired Culinary Art. Whereas initially I thought I was stepping into the unknown, I now know that Culinary Art was by far one of the best decisions I made for my wedding.

My husband and I could not have been more pleased with the catering provided by Culinary Arts for our wedding!!! They were professional, attentive to our needs, flexible, and the food was AMAZING! I am not joking when I say that we had a number of guests tell us later that it was the best filet they had ever had! I would highly, highly recommend Culinary Arts to anyone who needs an event caterer!

Culinary Art was great!!! They surpassed my expectations. Everything looked so elegant and organized. I got the “frugal” package and I was afraid that it was going to look frugal. It didn’t, everyone thought we paid so much. I was so happy that the food came out wonderful.
The only thing I didn’t like was the amount of tip I gave the wait staff. I thought I brought enough cash for all the vendors, but I wanted to give them so much more than what I did, I felt they went above and beyond.

We were working with a very tight budget and a very large guest list. Vivian understood the situation and was able to provide us with a great menu and all the extras (plates, glass ware, bar tenders etc..) to meet our needs and incredible prices. She was very accommodating and easy to work with. We spoke to many different caters and she was the only one that could stay within our budget and was even willing to work within that budget while providing the best service. All her staff that work the reception was very professional and keep the party going with no mishaps. We are extremely please with the professional atmosphere we received and would highly recommend this service to anyone.
Thank You Vivian

Vivian Morgan and Chef Yossi of Culinary Art Catering were key to the success of our daughter's wedding at Old Red on Sunday, May 29, 2011 - they could not have done a better job. The food was excellent and our guests are still talking about how they never had such good food at a wedding. The presentation was beautiful, the service was excellent and the linens and tableware were very nice. Once you contract with them, you do not need to worry about a thing - they listen, offer good ideas, and make sure that everything is exactly as you want it to be. They exceeded our expectations and provided excellent value for the money. I will recommend Culinary Art to anyone looking for a wonderful caterer.

Food and presentation were outstanding. Vivian was easy to work with and always very responsive to my emails. if I had another wedding to plan I would hire them again. My guests loved the food especially the risotto action station and the espresso bar.

They were very attentive and easy to work with. The food was amazing and they were reasonably priced. Vivian even went out of her way to be sure we had a "to go" plate for the hotel that night. They are also catering for one of my bridesmaids weddings later this year.

We had a wonderful reception...everyone was buzzing about the food. Loved it all. It was most beneficial to have the taste testing. Vivian was great. Easy to work with, professional and confident. Made Mother of the Bride very happy and able to enjoy the evening.

Food was great, exceptional customer service, and they catered to my wish of having mason jars for drinking glasses. They even allowed me to drop them off a week in advance, saving me a lot of time the weekend of the wedding.

"I wanted to personally thank you for the wonderful job you did in catering our daughters wedding!! When she said she wanted a "fun" wedding and "fun" desserts, you were the only caterers that had the menu to do that. EVERYONE at the wedding raved about how wonderful the desserts were (espeically the fried bananas and sundae bar). The bag lunches for the bridal party were delicious and a great value for the amount of food we got. Your staff was fantastic and kept everything going smoothly all night long. They were troopers when my daughter decided she wanted everyone to toast with Dr. Pepper(that was not the plan). They efficiently got one to every guest and the toasts went great. Thank you for your commitment to being the best!!! I will be recommending you to others looking for catering and will use you in the future for our catering needs."

I spoke to about a dozen caterers, and Culinary Arts was one of two companies that really listened to my needs and responded with a custom proposal that really suited my wedding theme and format. They were very accommodating with all of my requests and easy to work with. I would recommend them and use them again.

My experience with Culinary Arts Catering was wonderful. The staff helped me tremendously in planning a wedding reception for my daughter in a very short time. Not only were they responsive, professional, and very curteous to my guests, the food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. I received many complements on both the staff and the food. All the small details were handled and it was a pleasure working with them.

Wedding: 4/3/10
The food was delicious, the service was great and your servers and bartenders were fantastic! They personally served my daughter and her new husband and made sure they always had enough to eat and drink. I'm still getting compliments from our guests about the food and service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Culinary Art Catering to everyone.

My wedding was held at my parents home last November (2009) at first I was worried about having to contact all kinds of vendors for flowers and tables and chairs and everything else you can possibly imagine. Luckily I stumbled upon Culinary Arts Catering. They took care of everything! They even helped my come up with a plan of when we would be cutting the cake, having our first dance and coordenating the toasts. It was so much easier than trying to figure everything out by myself. I really appreciated the care and attention they gave to my wedding especially because it was only for 40 people, other caterers I contacted didn't seem to want to work with a small group. Not these guys. They are definitly the best in the business

This whole experience was made wonderful by the caterer and the individuals associated with the caterer that helped to host our wedding. It rained all day the day of our OUTSIDE wedding so when the caterers got there, we had to improvise everything. They immediately went to work structuring an alternative plan from a less than perfect setting. When one young lady fell and a whole piece of chocolate cake smashed into the white carpet, they came to the scene and had everything taken care of before anyone even knew anything had happened. Everyone associated with this organization from the office to the chef to the servers (who were MUCH more than servers -- I call them angels) were extremely professional and personable. I would recommend this caterer to everyone.
