Wedding Catering
Michael just recently did the food for my wedding with a guest count of about 125 guests. He was the only caterer that I was able to find that almost worked as a wedding coordinator. Michael kept extremely great communication during the whole wedding planning process and always remained extremely detail oriented. The food was incredible and we didn't talk to anyone that didn't like what Michael served. His employees were also just as great and attentitive, super sweet people. I would recommend Michael to anyone for any type of event. Whether it be big or small. I couldn't be more happy with how everything turned out.

We hired Michael to cater a family dinner for 10 people. He was fantastic! He showed up right on time, was very well organized and cleaned up the entire kitchen and did the dishes. Our menu was filets and scallops, salad, roasted potatoes & a vegetable medley. All were delicious! And to top it off, he made the most amazing shortbread topped with fresh peaches and whipped cream for dessert...this was a big hit with everyone! Not only was Michael prompt and professional, he was also very friendly and outgoing. Everyone enjoyed conversing with him while he cooked....he fit in perfectly with our family. I would highly recommend him.

Michael was great. He catered a meal for myself and 13 co-workers. He was super easy to work with, cooked an amazing meal, and cleaned up everything afterwards. I'd highly recommend him.
