I honestly believe a great event has 2 main staples to ensure success...food &music. For our 25th wedding anniversary we hired Chef Michel owner of Festive food. The food was delicious- Everthing on point including presentation . My guest are still talking about how great the food tasted. One guest stated "best cocktail hour ever with pass hors d'oeuvres service". Chef Michel was great....your professionalism was a breath of fresh air. Easy to communicate with. You offered something for everyone. An amazing team who smiled thru the entire event. Thank you for making my vision come to life and now I will have great memeories for a lifetime...Good Bless!

From start to finish Chef Michel was professional, full-service and charming. It was an amazing experience and beautifully crafted. Our agency enjoyed a 2-hour Valentine themed chocolate fountain complete with fruit, salty snacks and pastries. He even brought rose petals for the table. We cannot wait to have him cater our next party!

Michel catered the bridal shower I threw for my best friend. He was very responsive and was willing to work with me for certain dishes. Although he doesn't typically do sandwich wraps he was willing to do that for us. His food as absolutely delicious! All the guests were raving about the food and kept going back for more. Michel is very personable and walked me through each dish and how he prepared it. I would recommend him to anyone!

Chef Michel was wonderful. I would recommend him for any event you are planning. He, along with his assistant Gio, worked diligently to make sure everything for our event went smoothly and according to plan. We had a backyard wedding for 50 people. Chef Michel did appetizers, salad, steak and chicken along with potatoes and seasonal veggies, as well as ziti with sausage and meatballs. Fruit platter and sorbet for dessert. They provided iced tea and lemonade as well. The food was all prepared in a timely fashion and was cooked to perfection. All of the food was served at the proper temperature as well. Overall, Chef Michel did a fabulous job and helped to make the day go very smoothly. Thank you Chef Michel for your dedication to us and our event. I look forward to working with you in the future whenever we plan another big event.

So far I met with Mike to go over menu and pricing. The menu is great and He will work with you if want to change or add items. The pricing is what it should be in Fairfield Co. extremely fair. The party was on Sunday 8/2. He was extremely professional I really cant say anything bad about him. It was very well organized we did all the apps and main meal. Thanks again for all that you did. They cleaned up like they were never there just amazing.
