About

I provide personalized service and custom menus depending on the clients needs and wants. I coordinate outside vendors such as rentals, flowers, service staff and entertainment at no additional cost. I specialize in smaller events (dinner for up to 40 and cocktails for up to 100) and I work 100% of these events as the Chef on site. I simply love making people happy with my food! Whether it be an informal family dinner or an upscale larger event - I enjoy both equally. I have a sophisticated and discerning clientele who want something that is impeccably prepared and with an artful presentation.

We used D'Lish for my wife's surprise birthday party. Deirdre was fantastic! I had never planned an event like this before and from the my first interaction with Deirdre, I knew the event was going to be great. She handled EVERYTHING -- rentals, liquor, setup, cleanup -- in addition to the excellent food our friends and family are still raving about. Not only that, but she also went far out of her way to ensure the entire meal, including dessert, was gluten free, even finding a dedicated gluten free bakery for the cake. Trust me when I tell you that you cannot make a mistake with D'Lish. For our next event, I won't even consider looking around. I'll just call Deirdre and know everything will be great, down to the smallest detail.
