I was in Sedona for a girls trip and we wanted a special dinner on the deck with a view of the red rocks. The dinner was delicious and so was the tablescape. I highly recommend these ladies. Perfection.

What an incredible evening thanks to Whitney and her team. The tables were set to perfection and matched our theme perfectly. The food was delicious and every guest raved about the flavor, quality of ingredients and presentation. The team went above and beyond to serve us efficiently and with kindness. I was thrilled with my experience and would recommend Whitney Jacobs to my close friends and family.

Chef Whitney was amazing! We were celebrating a bachelorette in Sedona and she accommodated nine girls with several dietary restrictions. Everything was beyond incredible!! The presentation was absolutely gorgeous and the food was so delicious. Absolutely the highlight of our weekend! I wish I lived in Arizona because I would hire Chef Whitney all the time for dinner gatherings!!!

Chef Whitney was so amazing I have already re-booked her! The experience was incredible, from the table setting to the service, to the personalized menu, it was perfect. The food was delicious!!! Everyone at the table was thrilled. The tomato tartare is the best I’ve ever had! The portion sizes were perfect and her attention to detail was so appreciated. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
