Chef Tom Pace

Chef Tom was the perfect person to cater my wedding. When my first caterer cancelled with less than 2 months before the event, Tom was available, ready, and undaunted by picking up a 5-course service event for 113 people on short notice. We worked together to create a menu that we were sure would satisfy our guests, and it most definitely did! Christina and her staff expertly passed drinks and appetizers, maintained a very busy bar, and were attentive during dinner service with serving, replenishing, and clearing. The food was excellent! Tom prepared antipasti platters with charcuterie, cheeses, and fruit, as well as three amazing passed appetizers during our cocktail hour. Dinner was an incredible spread of an heirloom tomato salad, pasta primavera, grilled salmon, and New York steak. Everyone was impressed and full by the end, even our family visiting from Italy! To top it all off, Chef Tom prepared a beautiful dessert bar of bite-sized treats. It must have been good because they were all gone in the blink of an eye! I give my highest recommendation to hire Chef Tom and his team for your event. You are sure to get a very personal and attentive experience that cannot compare to the hustle and bustle of big catering companies. Not only that, I highly doubt that ANYONE in the North Bay can beat Chef Tom's price for the quality he delivers. Through and through I had a fully satisfactory experience working with Chef Tom for my wedding, and he really did save the day!

We are so very happy that we used Moonlight Catering to host our recent wedding reception for approximately 80 people. From the start, Tom was very quick to contact us and actively communicate. Early on he promised that we would not have to worry about the event at all, and indeed he kept that promise!!! It seemed just overnight that he made a detailed offer for the menu which was within our price range and still met our needs perfectly. The wedding was weeks ago but the compliments on the delicious food and excellent service are still pouring in! Tom and his team created a delicious spread which was perfect for our families and their variety of tastes: elegant, fresh, gourmet and yet including several simple comfort foods that we knew would satisfy the range of palates. We also want to acknowledge the extremely professional and thorough service provided, which we can tell made all the guests feel very comfortable and relaxed. Tom and the dedicated staff stayed with us until the very last minute we were at the venue, cleaning up and even offering for us to take home some of the leftovers. Felt like we had hit the jackpot at the end of an already fantastic event! Overall it was such a great combination of both classy and down-to-earth food and service that we would happily use Moonlight Catering in the future. Thanks, Tom and team!

In June of 2018 Tom catered my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary party for us. We worked closely on perfecting the menu with the guest of honor's tastes in mind and Tom was able to accommodate several food allergies as well. Tom and his assistants arrived as planned on the date of the event and with all the necessary kitchen tools as well. All of them were dressed appropriately, very kind and respectful and ready to help with anything we needed. Our menu consisted of several passed hors d' oeuvres, a refreshing summer salad, halibut and filet mignon. The food was ABSOLUTELY wonderful. It was fresh, flavorful and delectable. Each plate was beautifully presented to each guest (seated dinner) and they did a wonderful job of timing each course perfectly so there wasn't a lag in the evening nor a rush to finish. I would highly recommend Tom for any catering needs and look forward to hosting another party at our home with Tom's expertise.

I would hire him for any event that I would have. He is affable, kind and attentive. Could not give a higher rating. Jimmy

Tom was excellent to work with. My fiance and I hired him for our wedding however we needed to change our venue which required us to use the venue's caterer. In result of the change, Tom refunded us our deposit very promptly. Prior to our venue change, Tom met with us at our initial venue, held an excellent private tasting for us, as well as maintained constant communication with us during the entire process. We highly recommend Tom and wish we didn't have to change our caterer.
