Hired on Thumbtack

Jourdan did a phenomenal job cooking for our bachelorette party brunch. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented! I loved how Jourdan catered to our needs and was flexible about finding menu options that fit our vision for the brunch and our budget. I also really appreciated that she packed everything to go so we could save the leftovers for later. Having her cook for our event made the weekend very special!

Jourdan met us at our Airbnb and cooked for our bachelorette party. Jourdan was professional, friendly, and a great help! As we had never hired a personal chef before; she helped with the menu and even recommended wines to go with the food. Everything Jourdan made was delicious!!! She made the brides favorite and was extremely accommodating of some special diets/food restrictions so there was something (and then some!) for everyone in our group. We started with apps which were great to socialize over, then had a lovely family style dinner, and finished off with the best cream puffs we have ever had!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • Italian • Asian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

We use Very Best Catering for corporate events; meetings, and holiday parties. The food is consistently excellent along with the presentation and quality. I have also used this company for a private party. The quality and service is great. We are very pleased and will continue to do business with Very Best Catering.

Jourdan worked with me through the whole process of planning this event, and was responsive to questions and requests. The food and service were amazing and I received great compliments on the food from everyone who was present. Would 100% hire Very Best again!

Working with Jourdan was a wonderful process, she was quick to reply, patient, professional and served a quality product. She made, what had the potential to be stressful event, relaxing and enjoyable for me. Jourdan was understanding of my restricted budget and was able to make a delicious spread on limited dollars. Not only did the food taste amazing, all of my guests commented on the gorgeous display she had created. I would definitely hire Jourdan again and will continue to recommend her to friends and family.
