Nina and her team were great! I originally contacted her for bartending but then we discussed food options for a party. Everything was fantastic and I would work her again!

We hired Nina as a bartender at our wedding. She was very professional, friendly and made amazing drinks. We will definitely recommend her and book her again for future. Thank you Nina for being a part of our special day. Cheers

I'm not quite sure where to begin, other than to say Nina was absolutely phenomenal! From beginning to end, Nina was so patient and accommodating! She helped me create the perfect menu and the food was incredible! Every single guest at my birthday party said the food was so delicious and everyone went back for seconds! The dessert was so good, too! Nina also managed to accommodate a very last minute request to bartend and her and her colleague, Debbie did NOT disappoint! The drinks were spot on and all around just yummy! Nina worked with my schedule the entire day of the event! Just wow! I feel so lucky to have had the chance to have Nina cater an event of mine! Nina is the absolute best! To Nina and Debbie, thank you so much for such quality work and going above and beyond for me to make my event special! I am so grateful! There is no doubt I will be back, and so will my entire family for their events! Thank you again! You are so talented!

Chef Nina and her Sous chef Demi were WONDERFUL!
They prepared a wonderful cocktail hour for us, their plating was amazing, and attention to detail was ON POINT! We hired them for a private dinner party of 16 and everyone was thrilled with their selections. And I must say they are VERY fairly priced. We will definitely hire them for future events!
