I decided to have a big surprise party for my wife, then decided the place to do it was at home. This meant I had a two and a half hour window to pull it together.
That's when I found Marcel Cocit! He not only helped me figure out how to pull it off by helping with rentals, bar service & set up as well as what and how to serve what was truly fantastic food.
He and his team were on time professional and efficient. The food was beautiful and have received nothing but praise.
And as the person who usually gets stuck with clean up my kitchen was clean and tidy when they left!
Thank you again Marcel I got to have a blast, I'd do it again in a skinny minute!

Chef Marcell and his crew were just INCREDIBLE! This was my first experience throwing a catered affair and I felt like a fish out of water floundering about. After receiving several bids from caterers on Thumbtack, I found Married to Food to have the best menu for the best price. Marcell was responsive, supportive and very helpful. Every single guest complimented the food and service. What was even more remarkable was that my kitchen was SPOTLESS when Chef Marcell left. Possibly cleaner than when they started. I cannot recommend Married to Food highly enough. Marcell made my party less stressful and it ran like a smooth oiled machine. Bravo!!

We gave a big 40th birthday party for our son and wanted everything to be fantastic for him, our family, and all of our friends. We didn't know what a perfect choice we made when we hired Chef Marcel! We cannot say enough good things about Chef Marcel, his staff, and his wonderful food! The dishes were delicious - inventive and perfectly prepared! To add an extra challenge, Chef Marcel and his top notch sous chefs needed to cook in our kitchen and take food to our community room where we were holding the event. Every single step of the process was flawless and at the end of the evening I would have never known anyone had been in my kitchen! I had a recipe for the bartender I wanted to serve. She tweaked it and made it even tastier! Our guests wrote us the next day and raved about the appetizers, the meal, the yummy desserts, and the service, which was impeccable. The staff was friendly, kind, fun, and terrific at what they do. As most people know who give parties, the personalities of those who provide the service is critical. Every single person who took care of us was absolutely lovely. Chef Marcel was there the whole time. He was constantly vigilant making sure everything was running smoothly. He went out of his way to accommodate some hungry late arrivals. He was definitely in charge, respectful of his staff, gracious, flexible, and devoted to us having a great time! Our experience with Chef Marcel exceeded any expectations we could have possibly had. A million thank yous to him and to his stellar staff!

Marcel was EXCELLENT! I had an unusual catering job, one he hadn't done before. He was terrific at following up with me, patient when I had to delay getting back to him, and took care to understand exactly what I needed. And then he carried it out to the letter, with perfect results. And he's super easy to work with.
By sheer coincidence, one of my event attendees had used his catering services just a couple of months before, and also had only glowing reviews of his food and his service.
If you have need for catering or chef services, you can't go wrong by hiring Marcel for the job. I can't wait to use him again!
