This was our first time using this caterer. Food was excellent and they were able to meet the needs of two of our guests who needed a gluten free meal and a low sodium meal. Everything was hot, fresh, and people raved about the food and its quality. We will definitely use this caterer again.

Where do I start regarding how AMAZING Chic Chef Catering was! I hired Chic Chef Catering for my husband’s birthday/retirement celebration. I spoke with Jaime from beginning to end and she was nothing short of amazing! Very professional, responsive and professional. Now let’s talk about the “FOOD” OMG I ordered the Salmon, garlic chicken, Jasmin rice, garlic mashed potatoes, seasoned vegetables and summer salad and everyone is still raving about the food! The food was delicious and that’s putting it mildly! Chic Chef is my new favorite caterer and will definitely work with them again.

Details: Birthday or anniversary party • Cocktail hour or hors d'oeuvres • Dinner • Dessert • American - formal • Buffet • I'm flexible • Banquet hall or ballroom • Yes, partial kitchen (fridge and sink only) • 60 - 69 guests • Serving and warming equipment • I'm flexible

PLEASE take my advice and book Chic Chef for your catering - you truly will not regret it!!! The absolute best decision we made throughout our whole wedding process was booking Chic Chef for our catering!! As soon as we met with Lucy, we cancelled all other catering tastings we had booked. The food we had at our tasting was 10/10 incredible, and we knew we wanted to to lock them down. From that very first tasting to the weeks leading up to the wedding, the whole Chic Chef team was beyond helpful. Lucy worked with us to finalize our menu and guest count, and she made the process stress-free. On the day of our wedding, the Chic Chef team truly made our event incredible. They brought appetizers to me in the bridal suite as soon as the ceremony ended so I could eat something before pictures, and they even fixed every single place setting when I realized there was a small detail that needed to be corrected right before dinner service. We chose to do a buffet-style service for our wedding, and the food they served was fresh, delicious, and looked amazing. The way they presented it was similar to how you would expect a plated dinner to be served. I am not exaggerating when I say that I have heard from almost all of our guests that our food was the best wedding food they have ever had!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I base my prices on per person and from there can make adjustments to give final price based on the menu provided by client.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My first goal is learning 3 things right away: What the occasion is, what type of cuisine is in mind, and how many guests are expected. After that information is provided, I can do my best to stay within budget and offer suggestions to assist the most I can.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry. I learned many aspects of the business including managing banquet halls and catering and I have learned what it takes to make an event successful, from small corporate lunches to Indian weddings with over 1000 guests.
