I was the strategic event coordinator for a very grass roots approach event with a rather small budget. I was able to taste Chef Michelle’s food and it was delicious. She was the only caterer that could deliver results we needed within budget. She felt like family day of the event. I told Chef that as we continue to work together to please feel free to push back on any vision I have that doesn’t make sense. Guests enjoyed the food. In-joy Atlanta is now one of my top vendors! Thanks Chef Michelle!!!!

I booked Chef K for my birthday dinner in Atlanta, GA (Suburb). Not only was she on time, she had everything she needed, she was extremely professional and mindful of all my guests. After dinner was served, she brought in the cake she baked for me, with all my candles lit and sang with my guests. Chef K made me feel special and I'm beyond thankful I got the chance to work with her! I will book her every time I have an event in the Atlanta area!

Chef D was great!! She communicated so well leading up to our rehearsal dinner. She would reach out to me before I had a chance to in order to let me know that everything was on track. That was such a reassuring peace of mind. She was so kind and truly excited to share her food with us. The food was made with love and you could taste and feel that. Everyone at our event kept raving about the food and asking who made it. We had the honey garlic chicken, herb potatoes, and brussel sprouts with turkey bacon. Rolls and salad also. Amazing food!! It was well portioned, on time, and warm. Everything we hoped for. She even provided nice quality plates, cutlery,napkins. For an extra touch even salt and pepper shakers!! Very thoughtful. Lots of care went into the food. We are already thinking of reasons to order the food again!
