I highly recommend Chef Mumsie for a wedding that needs catering or for any event that involves great food and wonderful service. It is hard to describe the quality of good food other than to say that it was delicious and all the guests were raving about it. Appetizers included incredible onion pastry puffs that were the talk of more than one conversation I had that night. Salad was also a big hit, not something one usually expects to say about salad. The entree was talked, posted, and blogged about. Beautiful flatware and table settings were used, and the service was light-footed, courteous, and professional. We felt we were in a 5-star hotel, not our own backyard (which is where we actually were). Aside from all this, I want to mention how impressed we were with the hard work that was so evident. Chef Mumsie's staff was present from 2pm on toward 11pm and never stopped moving for a second. We were promised that we would not have to worry about a single event during the day and that was exactly what happened. Without even realizing that we had left so much in the hands of our caterers, we passed the night catching up with old friends, connecting people, taking photos, and meeting each other's friends from far off -- never once did we have to stop to check up on any details of any kind. Chef Mumsie seemed to be in eight places at once at any moment, and everything took care of itself as if by magic. There were no hidden charges, unexpected twists, or demands for attention. We are very impressed and grateful for their efforts in feeding and satisfying 80+ people in a somewhat confined space -- done with grace, speed, and invisibility. .. and deliciousness!

Chef Mumsie and her team went above and beyond to make our Annual JQ Awards Brunch a success. After posting the opportunity on Thumbtack, I had reached out to a few caterers who gave me wild estimates or plain menus that didn't satisfy our needs. Then luckily, Chef Mumsie messaged me, we had a lovely conversation over the phone, and the wheels started turning. Within 2 days, Chef Mumsie put together an entire menu, featuring 4 different unique flights of food, along with the quote and contract agreement that really blew us out of the water. She listened to our budget needs, while still providing delicious and decadent food that our guests loved! On top of that, she assisted with our event in other capacities out of the goodness of her heart. We will definitely reach out to Chef Mumsie again next year!

Chef Mumsie and her wonderful crew made our wedding day celebration a most spectacular event. They graciously handled every detail so that all I had to focus on was being a bride. Chef Mumsie came out to our home (the venue) weeks before the wedding and discussed all the details, down to the smallest ones that made the biggest difference the day of the event. From the creation of our signature cocktails, to the menu, wedding cake, flowers and candles for the table design, Chef Mumsie applied her expertise and exquisite taste. I will use Chef Mumsie for many other events - She's that good!!
