We recently had the pleasure of having Chef Tom & Christina cater our intimate 20-person wedding, and we couldn't be happier with their service. The food was not only delicious but also presented with such creativity that it became a talking point among our guests. Chef Tom & Christina were fantastic to work with, meticulously organizing every detail and ensuring everything ran smoothly on the day. They blended seamlessly with our guests, enhancing everyone's enjoyment of the event. We highly recommend them for any special occasion!

Chef Tom and his partner, Christina were absolutely wonderful. They prepared two meals for us on-site at a house in wine country, made their way around the kitchen easily and Christina even put together a few small floral centerpieces for our dining table that were beautiful and unexpected! Both dinner and the breakfast buffet they prepared were exceptional, Tom made a delicious french toast casserole which was among the favorites of the group. Thank you Chef Tom and Christina for making our weekend even more memorable!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - formal • American - casual • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Tom prepared a most delicious meal for my mother-in-laws 75th birthday. The quality of the meal and detail that Chef Tom and his assistant included made for a very special and memorable occasion. Everyone was stuffed and there were still leftovers that Chef boxed up and left in our refrigerator. He left the kitchen very clean and overall we were very pleased with everything. Thank you Chef Tom!
