My Experience with the head chef and her team was the best experience I’ve had working with a catering staff. Very friendly and knowledgeable of what they were there to do. My event ran smoothly because they were there doing their best taking care of my guests. And the food was AMAZING. My guests couldn’t stop talking about it days after!

We hired Jamaica Coast Catering for our wedding and the experience was phenomenal from start to finish. We did a tasting first and were absolutely blown away, after that, booking them was a no-brainer. On the wedding day, our guests could not stop raving about how delicious everything was. Days later people are still talking about the food!
From a behind-the-scenes/vendor perspective, Jamaica Coast was incredibly professional and easy to communicate with the entire way through. They provided servers, chafing dishes, and handled everything with so much care and organization that we never had to worry about a thing.
We truly could not be more pleased. If you are considering them, do it. You won’t regret it.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
When I give a quote to a client, it's based on the fresheness and quality of the food. I also, spends quality time to create a personlized menu for each client based on their needs and services.
All meals are made with fresh ingredients and the flavors are tied together nicely. I love what I do, so therefore it comes out in my meals.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Listen to and pay close attention to the Client's needs and making sure to fulfill them.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Being in the kitchen with my mom and learning how to cook at a tender age, which gives me the ability to cook my first 4 course meal at the age of 12 and my parents telling me how much they've enjoyed my cooking. From then I feel in love with cooking and been enjoying it ever since.
