Sharon was so amazing to work with. From the very beginning she was so helpful and she became to feel like a old friend. She was newer to the business when I booked her and was still figuring out her process (contracts and setting up tasting) but she pulled off everything like the culinary queen she is. On December 7 of 2019 my husband and I got married. I had around 105 guests at my wedding. I wanted a unique and personalized experience for my wedding so I pick a very different kind of venue. It did not have the normal stuff most traditional venues have and was primarly held outside. I had 5 different stationary apps, two full buffets with different cusines (italian and spanish), as well as a salad/bread set up and probably my favorite a mini dessert table. From the beginning she was willing to work with my budget. She personallly worked with me to create a very yummy and exciting app and buffet menu. During that time, she was so attentive that I feel like I spoke to her more than my wedding planner. I did extensive research for my wedding caterer and she was hands down the most affordable and provided the most options for your money. She is a smaller business but that means she really cares about her customers and making sure you get exactly what you want. The tasting was amazing and she even made enough for a few of my family member to participate in the tasting too. She came to the venue the morning of to finish up prepping everything. She along with all her staff were fun and friendly. It was amazing smelling all the wonderful smells from the kitchen as we got ready. I asked her to put some apps aside for me and my fiancee which she did without problems. Although she came to the venue to make she it had everything she needed, she was unable to see the full kitchen at no fault of her own. So that morning she realized that the kitchen didnt have everything she needed (the stoves only used certain pots) but despite this she still pulled off a beautiful meal for our wedding. My favorite app items were her risotto balls (or even just the risotto), the jack daniels meatbals apps, the main item were her meatballs, pulled pork, pulled green chili chicken and for desserts her champagne cupcake (people who dont even like cake liked them), creme brulee, and chocolate moose voties. Everyting was good but I highly recommend these items. She also provide lemonade, tea, and fresh friut water. Im sad to say I dont have any pictures of her food but all I can say is that it was a feast. I would personally recommend Sharon the Culiary Queen for any future events.

Chef Sharon was the perfect choice for my parents surprise 60th wedding anniversary dinner for 10. From the start was full of passion and ideas for the menu. She made the whole process incredibly easy. I live overseas and she communicated via Whats App sending photos of meals to help decide on the 4 course selection. We spoke many times by phone to secure the final details. She is wonderfully personable and full of energy! The guests absolutely loved the dishes and the presentation was 5 star. As I could not attend, she sent a photo to me of each course as it was being plated and served. I would highly recommend The Culinary Queen for any private dinner and I look forward to when I can hire her again. Thank you Chef Sharon and the team - simply amazing meal and service!

Good morning Sharon, Now that the dust has settled, I once more want to thank you for the fabulous meal you created for our wedding. Everything was beyond perfect…our guests are still talking about the food. My son in law wanted to know if you ship to Virginia! 🤣 You, your staff, bartender…it was like working with family! You were the special ingredient that made our celebration absolutely amazing! Looking forward to working with you in the future.

Sharon the Culinary Queen was so impressive as was Crystal her assistant. The food was impeccable and as this was a home-based event, she left our kitchen and dining area even more clean and when she arrived! And the creme brulee? Even if you think you don't like creme brulee you have to try it! Thank you Sharon for a memorable evening!

As a former caterer, I'm picky. I know what to expect in food quality and service. Let me tell you, Sharon is the best of the best. She worked with me to develop a menu for a small in-home dinner party for my husband's birthday, but that was no easy task. We have a 5 year old, people with picky palates AND a Type 1 Diabetic that doesn't eat fat of any kind. Yeah, good luck with that. She developed the most amazing menu with something for everyone - Seared Ahi tuna appetizers that our 5 year old (FIVE!) gobbled up and my "raw fish is disgusting" husband couldn't get enough of. Grilled swordfish so fresh, flavorful and mild that my husband asked "did she seriously go fishing for this today"? A curried asparagus soup that was so good, my super picky adult son noticed there were some leftovers (which she left for us), grabbed the pot and walked away jokingly saying "this is mine and if you try and take it I will fight you". Ok maybe he was only half joking. But the creme brulee. Oh. My. Gosh. I have had it in some of the best restaurants in America and hers, by far is the best I've ever eaten. Like, by a mile. It was unbelievable. She showed up on time, her price was similar to a dinner at a nice restaurant and, best part? My house was seriously cleaner when she left than when she got there. My kitchen was immaculate, all dishes washed, she even does the FLOORS. I just got to enjoy the evening with zero worries. I cannot possibly recommend her more. AMAZING experience from start to finish.
