Chef Jessie did an amazing job for our party! I spent a long time looking for the perfect chef or catering company for our party. Catering companies have little flexibility to customize and other chefs didn’t see right for the job. Food is so crucial at a party and after reading Chef Jessie’s reviews and talking to her I felt confident she was right for the job. I totally made the right decision. She was able to take the menu I suggested and totally elevate it! The food was delicious and the set up was beautiful. Everyone raved about it! I highly recommend Chef Jessie and will definitely use again!

It was an excellent experience! Wayfaring helped me with my birthday event and they cooked delicious food! We are international students from Asia, but their food and desserts were so good that everyone loves them so much! Their service is excellent too! They are really professional and serve food real quick! I will book them for my upcoming event for sure!

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. :)

Chef Jessie was absolutely amazing! From the start, she was very responsive and incorporated our preferences. We only had a short timeframe between engaging with her and the day of the event, but she delivered beyond our expectations! I would absolutely hire her again for our next event!
