Introduction: My work stands out above the rest because I put 100% effort and time in what I do. I have experience working with and for all cultures. X2 Catering and Event Services, LLC ( named after my two daughters) was established based on providing exceptional customer service and building long lasting client relationships. Growing up not often being able to experience the joys of celebrating birthdays and having parties, its nice being able to give that to others. Seeing the look on my clients face after bringing their dream event to life is priceless. Cooking for me has always been relaxing. I believe its nourishment for the soul. I enjoy cooking foods rich with flavor, color and taste. My signature styles include American and BBQ, Soul-food, Louisiana Creole and Cajun, Italian, Latin, some Haitian and Mediterranean. Event planning allows me to utilize my skills and creativity in another capacity. My strong academic background along with ability to make quick decisions, strong attention to detail and service quality makes me a strong competitor in the industry and leader in the field. There are three key things I like most about my job. One is that I work for myself. After working part-time as a caterer on the side for 8 years, I decided to take small business and culinary courses to start my company. I have the time to devote to my clients and meet strict deadlines. Second, I enjoy meeting and working with people of all cultures and backgrounds. Every client is different and require different needs. Different cultural events allow the ability to think out-side-the box and develop more innovative ways to advance my skills and creativity. Lastly the network of people I work with who help me bring my events to life. I get to work with some of Sacramento's finest and leading distributors in the catering and event planning industry. Their knowledge about the business and willingness to help me help my clients is unmatched and widely respected.

Akilah was very professional and the food was great! They provided our center pieces and did the entire decor for our wedding. Not only did she work with us and within our budget, she made sure everything was taken care of so my fiance and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I highly recommend X2 Catering and Event Services for any job you may have. They are GREAT!!!
