Back Porch Cafe At Ken's

Katie and the team were incredible to work with. She was responsive and she gave us advice and direction when we needed it. The tasting blew away my family from the start, so we I knew we were in good hands from the start. Our proposal included butler passed refreshments before the ceremony and at the start of cocktail hour -huge help for a large party and a small bar! They allowed us to customize desserts too, which was a nice bonus. Our guests still keep telling us how great the food and cocktails were and it's been two months!

Ken's Creative Kitchen is the best in the business! It was a pleasure working with Ken throughout the planning process for our wedding reception. He was quick to respond to any questions that we had, was very organized, and happily assisted us with anything that we asked. Thank you for everything Ken! We were able to have our parents with us at our tasting, and after trying the delicious food that we had selected, my in-laws decided to have Ken's cater the rehearsal dinner as well.

I have to say, the food is absolutely incredible! Ken communicated everything that we had discussed to our day of coordinator, Kathi, and she did such a wonderful job! Kathi was our coordinator for the rehearsal dinner and wedding, and I cannot say enough great things about her. Kathi was such a big help the entire day from making sure that everything was prepared, assisting us with our timeline and getting down the aisle, coordinating with the DJ throughout the night, to putting my leftovers in a container so that I could have them later in the evening!

She also brought champagne to my bridesmaids and I while we were in the bridal suite before the ceremony. Kathi, thank you so much for everything that you did! To the entire Ken's team that assisted with our wedding, thank you for making our day absolutely incredible! We enjoyed it so much, that I wish I could go back in time a re-live it all over again. I hope to have Ken's cater another event in the future! If you haven't hired a caterer for your event yet, Ken's Creative Kitchen is it!

YUM! We booked Ken's Creative Kitchen for a wedding reception rehearsal dinner. We had AMAZING crab cakes. The fried chicken is some of the best I've EVER had! Makes me hungry just thinking about it. *You can tell Ken and his team love food and putting on events. They made choosing the menu very easy and gave us helpful advice. *Lots of menu items to choose from.

We told them we wanted a fun, summer, backyard Maryland picnic type event and they knew exactly what to go with. *Staff was awesome for the event. Friendly and very professional. They cleaned up afterwards and the place was SPOTLESS. --HIGHLY RECOMMEND--

They catered my wedding (Yewell) in 2018. To this day, it's the most incredible wedding food I've had at any wedding I've ever attended. They also ensured my wedding went off without a hitch. Literally the BEST.

Ken's Creative Kitchen is great to work with! They make my job as another vendor much easier. Responsive, professional, and delicious, Ken's really knows what they're doing. I highly recommend them for any event!

Ken, the food, and his wait staff were the highlight of our wedding weekend! I have some professional chefs in my family and tough critics and we were all SO IMPRESSED with our rehearsal and wedding dinners. Ken could not have been more responsive and flexible with replanning some of our events due to COVID. Thank you, Ken!

I was a guest at a recent wedding and have never seen an outdoor wedding with such high quality food. Appetizers were delicous. Salmon with wild rice and asparagus, perfect. Each staff member was professional and pleasant.

Ken's Crative Kitchen catered our son's Rehearsal Dinner at Ogle Hall at the end of August. They did an extraordinary job! We had a cocktail style party with passed hors d'ouvres of crabcakes, ham biscuits and shrimp all of which were amazing! We then followed with a buffet of tenderloin (out of this world tender and tasty), salmon (amazing), chicken salad (incredible), assorted veggies, cheeses and fruit kabobs, lemon squares and decadent brownieis with salted caramel.

Every single item was superb! The service staff was terrific! They were friendly, professional and had smiles on their faces. Working with Katie was a complete pleasure. She designed a wonderful menu for us and because of their attention to detail and great staff we could enjoy this special evening as guests; ) There was ample food for our group of 90 and the price is very fair considering the high quality and beautiful presentation. I highly recommend Ken's Creative Kitchen for any catering needs. They have high marks because they earn them!

Ken Upton single-handedly made my daughter's wedding simply amazing! We had meetings, tasting and more tastings to get everything perfect and perfect it was. I have had events catered before but nothing like this. Ken and his team seamlessly helped us with everything - he set the pace and tone of the wedding, arranged for all grade A rentals, had a staff that set up, served and tore down with a constant smile and top notched professionalism the entire time, as well as providing Michelin quality food for everyone from children to vegans to seniors! Ken has catered to dignitaries such as Ambassadors and National TV Anchormen, and he made me and my family feel just as important as them. It was truly an honor to have worked with Ken and his team. THANK YOU!

Exceptional - if we could give them more than 5 stars, we would! We selected Ken's as the caterer for our daughter's Chesapeake Bay Foundation wedding and couldn't have been more thrilled from start to finish. As the mother of the bride, working on this wedding from my home base in Massachusetts was very challenging. Katie Wildt quickly became an invaluable partner, helping us through not only our catering decisions, but with referrals and guidance on a myriad of questions along the way - she is amazing! Denise, the wedding event manager, and every single member of Ken's team could not have worked harder to make our wedding experience more perfect - coupled with absolutely delicious and beautifully presented/served food and beverages that our guests are still talking about. This turned out to be our most important decision - we could not recommend them more highly!
