Suzanne, Bride Indiana State Museum September 23, 2014

I’ve received numerous compliments about the event, but especially the food!  I know without a shadow of a doubt we wouldn’t have had the success we did without your expertise!  I know when Kahn’s Catering is involved, things will go well.  Thank you to the servers, the bartenders and set up/clean up crew for a professional job very well done!
