I loved my experience with MCL. They are super easy to chat with and will answer any questions in a timely manner. The food was great and the staff was so nice!
We chose MCL for our wedding reception and I've very happy we did. Considering the average per plate around Indy is $80, MCL is quite a steal. I was a very budget conscious bride and their pricing was perfectly on point. We paid around $2,000 for 65 guests. We did the buffet with 3 entrée choices and 4 sides. We chose the salmon, fried chicken, carved prime rib, carrots, broccoli, mac & cheese and red potatoes. Everyone had fantastic things to say about our food. Even my mother in law, who is food picky, was happy. Honestly, the fried chicken was the best I've had. The catering staff they brought were really friendly and on top of things. Working with them, leading up the wedding, was very easy. The catering manager is prompt and answers all questions. They also worked well with my reception venue (River Glen). My only negative comment was the food could have been warmer. I'd hire them again and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Honestly, some of the best catered food I've had.
MCL did an amazing job catering my wedding. Very professional, did everything we discussed, on time, food was all the appropriate temperature, answered my questions in a timely manner, and the food was absolutely delicious. I received many complements on the food. I would highly recommend MCL for any of my friend's weddings.
Bride here: my husband and I were thrilled when we discovered MCL was one of our preferred caterers for our venue, the Community Life Center. We had so many compliments on how wonderful the food was that night and their prices were very manageable for a starting couple. We worked with Jessica Wessler through the planning process and she was cheerful and quick to answer and solve any questions we had. Top notch service and a delicious evening!

MCL was great for our wedding. They were a very unexpected choice for our guests, but they were raving about the food! Connie was very easy to work with and great with communication. There are so many options for food, pretty much anything you get in the restaurant. It was great!
I would strongly recommend MCL and Karol Kiley to cater your wedding without question. The venue my husband and I chose for our wedding came with a pre-specified caterer (not MCL), and four months before our wedding, we learned that that pre-specified caterer could no longer service our event. Needless to say, I was beside myself. I reached out to several other caterers to see what options we had and Karol called me back right away and was very quick to put my mind at ease that MCL Catering could seamlessly step in and cater our reception without question. Her customer service was unfounded as she shepherded us through the process to ensure everything was prepared for the Big Day. The food served was absolutely delicious and the team of servers was amazing!
MCL Catering was absolutely wonderful! The food, service, value, and flexibility was far beyond anything we could have expected from our wedding caterer. We worked with Karol Kiley, who was so attentive to what we were looking for, and she did everything she could to make sure we had a wonderful meal and wedding catering experience. There were a couple of special requests we had in regards to our wedding reception dinner, and MCL worked with us to make sure our meal was exactly what were wanting.
The food was absolutely delicious, and numerous quests commented on how much they enjoyed the beautiful, delectable meal.
In addition, Karol has been in the wedding business for quite some time, and she was very helpful in providing recommendation for other areas of our wedding needs. Our overall experience with MCL Catering was outstanding. Thank you!
Wonderful food and service! I was especially pleased that all of the special meals needed went off without a hitch
We used MCL Catering for our wedding in September of 2015. They were on a list of recommended caterers for the venue and we were beyond satisfied with their exceptional service, food and professionalism!
Karol Kiley and her staff were amazing! Karol helped come up with a great menu within our budget, answered all of our many questions quickly and thoroughly, and remained thoughtful about the many details. The food was fantastic and we are still getting compliments on the meal. Many of our guests said it was one of the best wedding meals they had while highlighting the overall quality. We would definitely work with them again and highly recommend MCL.
Thank you Karol and Staff for making our wedding reception memorable!

The food was excellent and was displayed beautifully. Our contact person quit the company a few months before our wedding so that made things a little messy as far as communication.
We were so happy that we chose MCL to cater our wedding reception. Working with Karol was an absolute breeze--she was very helpful, knowledgeable and offered great suggestions. We went to MCL to do a food tasting and then met with Karol several times at our venue to go over what we wanted. MCL was able to work with us to help create a custom buffet menu (out of many options!) for our special day. MCL provided linens, glasses, silverware, and everything necessary for the buffet. Karol along with roughly 10 other servers/staff members were there several hours prior to our reception to set up the tables and begin preparing the food, and then stayed through the end of the night. Our guests truly raved about the food, as everything was absolutely perfect! I would highly recommend working with Karol and MCL if you are in need of a caterer for your next event!
MCL provided us with exceptional service from planning the menu to serving our guests. Karol Kiley and her staff are the best!
food was great, services was great. will use them again
MCL went above and beyond to make our day special. It was amazing. Prime rib, salmon, wonderful sides and salads...it was perfect and my guests cannot stop raving about the food!
