I hired Jennifer's catering service for my Easter dinner, and she was absolutely wonderful. She arrived right on time, was incredibly sweet, and the food was a huge hit with everyone. The peach cobbler disappeared fast, and the fried whiting and fried catfish were crowd favorites. Everything was seasoned perfectly and made with so much care. I’d happily book her again!

Omg!!!! The food and Service was Awesome. Jennifer is the Bomb 💣. She arrived early and got straight to work. The food was delicious. She was the highlight of my Sister surprised birthday dinner. She made us baked chicken stuffed salmon with crabmeat rice and collard greens....Mmmmm Delish. I would recommend and definitely Use her whenever your in the DC area.

Hire My Special Touch Catering and you will NOT regret it. We hired them for a last minute soiree that we put together in our backyard. Despite it being last minute, the event came together as if it had been planned for weeks. The special touch catering were super helpful in achieving that. They brought ALL the food, the pot/pans, serving utensils, drinks. We did nothing but sit back and relax which was SUCH a treat. They brought out all the food and did the set up. They cleaned everything up. It was so nice to just enjoy our experience with our friends without having to worry about cooking duties. Having a personal chef is such a treat for a special occasion. We enjoyed every minute of it and our guests were absolutely in love with our two chefs. The favorite was the chicken and waffle (the poor chefs had to make three batches because people ate them the moment they were put on the table). I cannot rave enough about them and say enough good things. We were sure before about what to expect with a personal chef but after such a lovely treat, and reviews from our lovely friends, we will definitely be hiring My Special Touch Catering again for our next backyard party, or even just a dinner party. Thank you again!
