About
I put every ounce of my heart and soul into my cooking… as well as the presentation. I pride myself on feeding people delicious food and presenting it in a creative manner. There is nothing more satisfying than knowing you made somebody's event great because of the food. In my opinion, food is the focus point of any event and is the most talked about when the event is over. There is nothing worse than going to an event and saying, "the food was terrible."

When my fiance first told me about Jen and her company Dare to Taste I was a little wary to be honest. One look at her website and her accolades and I immediately thought it was going to break the bank on our already small budget and to be honest her services seemed a little out of our league. I was quickly proven wrong however. Planning a wedding is no easy task and especially planning a wedding on your own with several different vendors. Jen made the entire process pretty easy. She adhered to our budget and provided us with several different options. On the day of Jen and her staff were there early and ready to go. They asked a few questions but for the most part they took care of everything and the questions they did ask were about what WE wanted and how WE wanted things done. We wanted our wedding to be fun and a little less formal because that's the kind of people we are and we could not have picked a better caterer to accomplish that. The food was great and the Smores bar was a huge hit with our guests. I'd recommend Jen and her people to anyone who's looking for a professional and also someone who's fun to work with. My wife and I could not say enough good things about her.

Jen and her team catered our son's wedding. There were 80 guests. I could write a novel about how perfect Jen made everything, but no one wants to read that much. I will say that my guests commented that the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding. The steak and chicken could be cut with a plastic knife, the vegetables fresh, beautiful salad. Everything was presented perfectly. I have no idea how 4 people pulled it off, but they did! If you aren't sure who to hire, I can tell you sincerely that Jen Royle is the one. You will not be disappointed. Do it!!

Jen Royle, the owner of Dare To Taste, was amazing to work with and I highly recommend her and her staff for any of your catering needs. She was a pleasure to work with, easy to contact and always responded quickly. She is professional, down to earth and most importantly her food was amazing so much so that all of our guest wanted her business card! We had an issue at the banquet hall with electrical outlets. The hall was very rustic and I was a nervous wreck but Jen and her assistant rallied on and our guest never even realized their was an issue. Jen worked great under pressure and we could not have been happier with the way she handled our event, I would hire Jen again in a heartbeat!
