Chef Stacy was amazing ! We had a wedding reception at the house and ordered a Formal meal . It was delicious -from the hors d'oeuvres to the main meal . She was very tuned into all the details of making a fantastic event. She even participated in a Wedding ceremony tradition (i.e. samshing of the plate at front door) . We would definately hire her agian without question. Her food was mouth watering ,delicious ,the best ! She is an amazing chef and wonderful person ! Compliments to the Chef !!!

This was my first experience hiring a private chef service. The event was a holiday party for a school staff (30 guests). Stacy made things easy from start to finish. She came to my workplace to provide an overview, she kept in touch via email and phone, she made excellent menu suggestions to fit my budget, and the resulting party received rave reviews from the guests. It was a pleasure working with Stacy! She has a confident, upbeat and flexible style that is focused on serving her clients and their guests.

Stacy cooked for a group of 15 women for my sisters bridal shower in our home. The food was amazing and we got so many compliments on the food and many guests asked where I had found her. She communicated with me throughout the whole process and she came up with a great menu and let me even change around a few things to fit our needs. She threw in a few extras too when some rental things got messed up and worked with us to find a quality menu that fit our budget (about $25 per person). She worked really hard and you could tell her whole heart is in what she does. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to a friend. My only two things were we wished she left the left overs (a testament to the awesome food) which we hadn't discussed before the event (and when I asked her she offered to bring them back when she picked up the rentals-above and beyond) and our communication about the timeline of serving (I wished we started eating a little earlier and there was less time in between each meal). That being said the pros far outweighed the cons and I am very happy with the service Stacy provided! Thanks Stacy!

Stacy and team were awesome. The food and experience were fantastic. I was originally impressed with the sample menus and that is why I chose her. We picked what were our favorites for the party and she added a few surprises. Everyone (@50 people) loved what she made. We have been at other catered events and have seen things go uneaten and have had disappointing passed appetizers. Hers were all devoured.
