Chef Jesse is fantastic! Im an event planner and needed to lock down many vendors for my client. After communicating with several, Jesse’s communication and responsiveness stood out. We recommended her to our client and booked her for our event. We were NOT disappointed. During our details call with Jesse, it was clear she was dedicated to getting every detail down specifically. On the day of she was punctual and the food looked amazing. If you want a complete professional with reliability, Chef Jesse is your best option. We are already exploring a future event with her now! She will also help you determine your menu. You will not be disappointed!

Where do I start?! She's so AMAZING in every way and she was lovely from the moment I met her which started with the food tasting. She walked in very professional and did her thing we even managed to get in a few laughs with my crazy friend and my mom and step dad. She adjusted the menu as we tasted and I mentioned to her that my now husband was a super foodie and that I really was judging for him...I know right!? "no pressure" My husband last minute could not make the tasting because he had to work so we were being critics in his honor. Anyways that day she asked me how much time I would need and how many tasting I was having? and I said a few more lol but I already knew I would go with her and did not need to do any other tastings. She was great to communicate, easy to pay, she worked with my budget while still having incredible quality in food. She is so sweet and his this wonderful calming vibe about her that just makes you feel at ease. Okay so let's skip to the wedding day. The lovely staff brought the bridal party appetizers during cocktail hour since we were on the other side taking pictures, so she made sure she fed us too and we got to enjoy everything. Then she started the buffet and everyone was loving the food (see photos attached) beautiful set-up, the chicken was to the perfect temp ( she undercooked it so it wouldn't dry out while on the buffet table). Her and her staffed helped with all the cleaning and cake cutting services and packed everything up for me. Every time I looked around I saw her around helping out and that was just beyond any of my expectations. My day of coordinator went out of her way to tell me that it was a pleasure working with her and her staff. All of my next events that need catering will definitely be through her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my long awaited 10-year dream a reality. Oh and cute note, she even packed the leftover food in containers and wrote on them, Congratulaions Jonas and Stephanie. " Cute touch" We happily ate her leftover food all week. :)

I hired Chef Jessie to cook a traditional New England clam bake for my birthday party. She was so communicative through the entire process and made my party feel so special. She not only cooked delicious food but her presentation was absolutely stunning. She delivered perfectly on everything I had asked for and I will definitely be hiring her again for my next party!
