Thank you SO much Stacey for taking the time to write up this review. My team and I enjoyed every aspect of working with you and your friends/family. It was truly our pleasure to be able to properly "warm" your house after the renovations! You all are absolutely wonderful clients, and I am excited to work together in the (hopefully super) near future! Best wishes until then!

We so enjoyed our dinner with Jules and Zuz at Pure Prana Chef services! Jules was so helpful in planning the evening. She took our "favorite things" and proposed a creative menu that we'd enjoy. She adds so many thoughtful details, such as cool server ware and pacing of the meal. Her salad was the talk of the party - don't miss her truffle burrata or onion vinaigrette! The bride we were celebrating was in heaven - she felt so cared for. Jules confidence and competence make her a no-brainer for a dinner party hire. The locals in our group all excitedly grabbed her card! I would look forward to hiring Jules again.
Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • I'm flexible • Italian • American - casual • American - formal • Southern • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Asian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Jules and Griffin were INCREDIBLE. I cannot more highly recommend them. Starting from the very beginning I felt so comfortable with her. She was communicative, responsive, and you could tell she just wanted to make our event as special as possible. She worked with us on our ideal menu (fun finger food type stuff) and showed up early to prep. Food was ready exactly when she said it would be, and each bite was better than the last. She fed 15 hungry girls at a bachelorette party and every single person was happy and cited it later as the best meal of the weekend!! Also they cleaned up quickly and spotlessly. Truly perfect.
