Chef Jay did an amazing job for my mother-in-laws backyard wedding! The first conversation with her was very professional and she took note of all of my requests. All of the food she prepared was delicious and she was so kind and easy to communicate with. I would definitely hire her again for another event! :)

From the first correspondence, she made me comfortable with how well my event would go. She always responded immediately with answers to my questions. I had a bit of a tough group. We had guests with gluten, lactose, and seafood allergies. She worked to ensure that everyone received something they enjoyed while dealing with all the allergies. Salmon is one of my favorite meals. She cooked it in the kitchen to avoid cross contamination with the rest of the food that she was cooking on the outdoor grill. Her salmon is AWESOME. Everything she made us was delicious. She was very patient with the small kitchen at the house I rented at the beach. She was also patient with all my guests running in and out of her kitchen. I would absolutely give her my 100% recommendation. You will be NOT be disappointed.
