Introduction
Hello my name is Chef Shay and cooking and planning parties is in my DNA. I just recently began using Thumbtack (reviews and pictures are coming) however, I began cooking professionally almost 20 years ago. I have worked in the biggest names in catering in Denver such as Epicurean, Occasions and 451 events/Catering by Design. Several years ago I decided to go out on my own, and offer the same high-end service that I provided to the VIPs at an affordable price. Doing catering has provided me the experience to cook it many different types of cuisines and my history as a baker , certified bartender, event planner, and cafe owner I have literally worked every position in the kitchen & front of house staff from barista to owner,and everything in between. Doing so I have seen my fair share last-minute needs, Whether you need just one dish or an entire party I can plan or cook for any occasion in any style or theme. For every client I build each detail specially tailored to your needs. If there is any allergies or special dietary concerns I am more than happy to create a personal plate for any and all guests that require it. I have an eye for detail, a knack for planning, a flare for style, and I'm not happy if you're not happy.

I really enjoyed working with Chef Shay, she went above and beyond to make my baby shower special. Food was great, and was able to accommodate for dietary restrictions. Worked with us to stay in budget. Overall just a fantastic experience.

The food quality was awful, the quantity of food was insufficient, the presentation was unprofessional. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. Run quickly and do not hire this woman. She over promises and under delivers. UPDATE: While I appreciate the apology issued below, the excuses simply do not hold up. I requested a 'high end' brunch and received gas-station quality. The addition of a few people should not affect quality. In addition, the actual count was less than the '20 extra' you claim I added at the "last minute." You did have sufficient time to prepare for the extra people. We had multiple discussions about having sufficient food and you still ran out. Inexcusable! In all honesty, the only positive I can find is that your bacon was said to be good.

Details: Birthday or anniversary party • Breakfast or brunch • Alcoholic drinks • Dessert • Non-alcoholic drinks • Coffee or tea • American - Southern • American - casual • American - formal • Food stations • Yes, full service • Outdoor venue • Yes, full kitchen • 40 - 49 guests • Plates, utensils and glasses • Premium (high end ingredients)

We hired Chef Shay from Behind the Platter to cater our wedding. At first she was responsive and accommodating of our needs even offering to set up tables and pick up table cloths. We did a tasting a month before the event which was okay and her communication was pretty good. It wasn't until the week of our wedding that she lacked in responding back to us and when I asked if she was going to pick up the table cloths as she said she would she said we agreed to get them ourselves. This didn't bother us much as we had offered to do this originally. I tried to communicate with her a week before the wedding that we wanted to serve champagne but couldn't tell her until she responded 4 days before the wedding. She said she'd try to order some and she did provide them at the wedding but charged us for them which she said previously they would be included in her services. I kept asking her about sending a contract and finally she sent it on our wedding day! Hours before the event I was going through it and making the final payment which added to an already stressful day. The food was average but she used the limes we bought for our beer on the food instead. She is affordable but due to the lack of communication, not providing the contract until the day of the event and the food being average we wouldn't recommend using her.

Details: Wedding • Lunch • Cocktail hour or hors d'oeuvres • American - casual • Buffet • Yes, full service • Banquet hall or ballroom • Yes, partial kitchen (fridge and sink only) • 50 - 59 guests • Standard (basic ingredients)
