Hired on Thumbtack

Kristen and her team were awesome! I hired them to execute a seafood boil for a friend's 40th birthday and everything turned out beautifully! She also helped manage other aspects of the event for me (like the bartender) as she could see I needed help. She went above and beyond by offering to help me procure items and even sent me some suggestions for vendors as it pertained to some party goods (customized bibs). On top of all of that, EVERYONE raved about the food and was very impressed and it is not an easily impressed crowd. HIGHLY recommend Kristen!

I hired Kristen to prepare a romantic dinner for my wife and I - it was her birthday and we couldn't go out so having something unique at home seemed a great idea. Kristen did an amazing job. She and I agreed on the menu the day before the dinner and all went extremely well. Great food, great presentation and thoughtful approach. Next time that I have an event going on at my house, I will definitely reach out to Kristen.

Kristin catered our annual holiday luncheon this year. It was the first time I was putting on together for the firm, so I really wanted to offer something special. Kristin put together a delicious, gourmet lunch that was a cut above what we have experienced in the past. So many people complimented and thanked me. The portions were generous (we had lots of leftovers) and she worked with us to get something really wonderful with the budget we had to work with. I will definitely use Kristin again!

Everything about my interaction with Kristen was wonderful. She was responsive, helpful, and joyfully assisted me in planning everything I would need to cater my cocktail party. The day of the party she was on time and snapped to work immediately. Her charcuterie board was stunningly beautiful, offering a wonderful diversity of meats and cheeses. The hors d'oeuvres delighted my guests. The desserts were plentiful and delicious. My guests raved about the food. My party was a huge success and that is largely due to Kristen and her wonderful food.
