What a completely AMAZING job Kelli did for a funeral reception. I was referred by a common friend, and it was by far the simplest process of all the details I had to sort out for the service. I was really in need of someone who would/could sort out the ENTIRE menu as well as provide extra help with serving. Kelli was given very little information in regards to how many people would be attending. Not only did she have IMPECCABLE choices for the food, everything was prepared to PERFECTION. Kelli is a professional, cheerful, kind, punctual, problem solving, chef who eagerly will make any event wonderful, inviting and of coarse, tasteful. She literally dealt with EVERY LAST DETAIL and completely released me of any stress having to do with accommodating the guests. Her careful and well thought out details of every last detail were greatly appreciated and noticed by many. Not to mention, she willingly worked within the budget I had, as opposed to making suggestions that were out of my range. I was completely thrilled with the outcome, and several people approached me for her information. Kelli will forever be my "go to gal" for any catering services, simply because she can truly DO IT ALL and the food is WONDERFUL!

My 4 best friends and I had a girls' weekend in Sonoma and wanted to do something special one of the nights. I hired Kelli to cook dinner for us at the house we rented and what a special treat it was! We came home after a day of biking and wine tasting to a house that smelled PHENOMENAL as Kelli was preparing dinner in the kitchen. She was very friendly and personable and greeted us with a beautiful spread of appetizers that we scarfed up in no time. She prepared dinner for the five of us (creamy polenta with sauteed mushroom and broccolini) and also dessert (butterscotch creme brulee) which we all loved. Kelli was great to work with, she listened to our requests/preferences, and her price was extremely reasonable. I told her all 5 of us were vegetarians and she sure did deliver. I would definitely recommend Kelli for your next dinner party or event! :)

I used Kelli for an event at our church "The Hill-Vallejo". She was very easy to work with and accommodating in every way. Her prices are outstanding (she's flexible about that too). We have used her twice so far and at each event she, as well as her staff working with her, have been pleasant, patient and professional. Now for the most important thing...THE FOOD!! It was creative, beautifully presented and HOLY COW delicious. One of our events had food quantity issues but she scrambled and came up with something that filled the gap and no one went home hungry. By the way, that wasn't lack of preparation on her part. It was a miscalculation of guests on our part. All in all, no harm, no foul. I can say with confidence that I will be using her services again and again. Try her out! You won't be sorry!

Last weekend, Kelli catered a 60th birthday party for 50 of our closest friends and family. The aroma of the grilled chicken with artichokes, cherry peppers, and roasted Meyer lemon was inviting. Every dish had dimensions of color with accents of fresh ingredients. The pasta was perfectly al dente with a sauce that adhered well, savory and creamy. The fruit salad was impressive by the presentation of a variety of colors and flavors, both sweet and tart. The green salad was fresh and crunchy with an array of lettuces. The presentation of the salad dressings in jars was rustic. The whipped butter was unique by the incorporation of herbs and sea salt. The rolls were surprising with a hint of cinnamon. The caterer was friendly and easily available. I would highly recommend this caterer because of the standards of quality and quantity for any banquet setting.
