From our very first interaction with Tana to giving goodbyes at the end of the evening, it was evident how passionate and artistic she is when it comes to food. We are beyond appreciative of the level of planning that was spent to execute the most magical dining experience for us and our guests. Everyone still talks about the food weeks later! I would gladly utilize Tana again and she comes highly, highly recommended. Thank you again for making our wedding absolutely amazing and special!

Chef Tana and her team cooked for our 24 guest dinner party. Every step of our interactions with her were very professional and she really went the extra mile. Right from her menu suggestions, I felt like she’d really listened to my requirements before suggesting a custom menu. All the other proposals that I received from other chefs/services seemed like the bare minimum, and not at all curated to our requests. Her quotes were very transparent and she was very forthcoming in suggesting ways in which we could cut down when required. Will definitely be reaching out if we decide to do this kind of an event again :)

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is done on a per person basis with a $1000 minimum for all events. The price per person ranges drastically based on guest amount, meal and location- its important to note, the less guests you have, the more it costs per person. We offer competitive rates for the area. The price per person is the base and then taxes, rentals, alcohol and fees are separate. We like to come at each event from an extremely personal and detail oriented way.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We usually reply with some quick questions as needed to get a feel for what you need then we like to arrange an initial consultation call to discuss details and from there we can do an intake form and menu curation!
