Chef Dena is an amazing and lovely professional. If I could select Responsiveness and Punctuality, I would. My experience with Chef Dena was wonderful and I would hire her again. She followed my requests as asked. Her team showed up professionally and did a great job! I plan to use her for the next time I need a caterer. My one regret is that I did not take any photos of the set-up. It was a great event and my family and guests enjoyed the food. Her food was delicious and ample and without me taking advantage of a tasting. Thank you so much, Chef Dena.

Dena and her team did a fantastic job from 1st phone call through the night of the party. She made my retirement party an event to remember. My guest raved about the food and the service provided by her team. They interacted with the guest in a manner that seemed like family. If I could, I would give In-Joy 10 stars and the highest referrals. Thank you Dena.

I am not sure where to begin! We have had private chefs prepare meals for us while we were on vacation so I wanted to do something different this year for Valentines Day. I looked on Thumbtack and found In-Joy and from the time I heard and left a voicemail I was really impressed. Chef was very pleasant to speak with and from the time she arrived until the time the she and her team were TOP-NOTCH they are now more like family for us. We will definitely use them again for future events. Thanks family for making our valentines dinner a huge success

Chef Dena is a great chef and her team does good work but she’s been late now both times that I’ve hired her. My latest event started at 7pm and she arrived at 7pm to deliver and set up the food, meaning the food for the event was not ready to go until almost 8pm. If punctuality is not a priority for you, you cannot go wrong with the food. My guests raved about it and asked for seconds.
