There are not enough stars or compliments for Chef Summer and her amazing team. My gratitude goes beyond words my events were beyond perfect. Despite all the challenges that came up like weather, locations, people from the venue Summer and her staff we above and beyond. Just be clear Summer is not only an excellent Chef she handled and oversaw everything decorating set ups, clean up . I do not have enough room to write here all I can say to sum it up is you will not regret it they are perfect.
