The food quality was great. My guest enjoyed the meal, and I enjoyed the professional service. Catering was set up and ready when the banquet opened, and the food and drinks flowed effortlessly throughout our event. The owner was very friendly and easy to work with.

Gennie Bee Catering goes above and beyond for their clientele. They offer exquisite food as well as wonderful displays when serving dinner. My fiancé and I loved her roasted pork with apricot sauce it was delicious and we still talk about it to this day. Always a 5 stars with this business.

I’ve used Chef twice for events. When my guest list doubled, she worked with me and the price adjustment was very respectable. Needless to say the food is amazing!
