Chef Leon was always very communicative and worked very well with us and what we needed for our event. The menu was personalized to what we wanted which was very hard to find when it came to searching for a caterer. He was always very friendly and helpful and the food was absolutely amazing! Hire him and you won’t regret it.

Selfless Caterers exceeded my expectations . I booked them for a Dessert tutorial session for a Bachelorette party . Chef Leon created a menu that was customized to fit my theme and desires. He remained in constant communication during the weeks prior to the event. He and his wife who is also his business partner were extremely friendly and did everything from set up to clean up . I did not have to lift a finger at all ! His dessert tutorial was very informative and hands on . He even provided us with little gift boxes . I am extremely pleased and even more pleased that my guest enjoyed the event . I will recommend him to all my family and friends !

My family and I cannot say enough positive things about Selfless Caterers. Chef Leon reached out to us right after we contacted him inquiring about services. He then fit us in for a private dinner for 2 right away. Throughout the entire process, he was extremely professional and always available via phone.
On the night of the private event, he arrived early and got started working right away. He was extremely personable and catered to the exact requests/preferences we had. Each course was more delicious than the last and he was very attentive to food allergies, etc. Chef cleaned up everything impeccably and there were plenty of leftovers for the following days.
His warm, inviting personality made for not just a wonderful dinner event, but a beautiful experience that will be cherished forever. We plan to use Chef Leon in the future...many times and highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking to host any type of event!
Thanks Chef Leon!

Absolutely phenomenal experience with chef Leon!!! He did a private party for about 25 adults and 5 kids. He thoroughly discussed the menu with me and it was probably one of the best meals I’ve had!! He is also one of the nicest guys and by the middle of the party he became one of the family. I can’t thank him enough. Trust me, you will be lucky to have him help you out for your next occasion. My family is extremely, annoyingly picky when it comes to food and they loved everything he made.

Chef Leon was amazing to work with! He was extremely flexible with working within our budget, coming up with menu suggestions that worked for us and providing a great experience for our guests. They made the day so easy, our guests were impressed and the food was great. They went above and beyond and even brought a happy birthday banner for our son and an extra special treat for our guests. We cannot wait to work with them again, if you're on the fence definitely hire him, you won't regret it!
