I found Chef Paul on this website less than 2 months before our 200 person sit-down dinner after another caterer dropped out on us. From the very first call, Chef Paul took us on with so much warmth, enthusiasm, professionalism, and understanding. This was our first time planning an event like this and we couldn't have been in better hands. Not only was the event literally flawless and on-budget in a non-traditional space (the Museum of Discovery and Science) that Chef Paul hadn't worked in before, but Chef Paul calmed our first-timer nerves whenever we worried with his humor and his unshakeable confidence and experience. There were even folks with dietary restrictions that joined the dinner at the last minute (reporting them as dinner was served) and Chef Paul accommodated them, I think by magic. His entire team couldn't have been lovelier, the mojitos were the best any of us have tasted, and the food was phenomenal. I'm convinced you won't find a better caterer in all of South Florida. Thank you so much Dancing Palate team!!!
