My then fiancé and I were looking for different vendors for catering and we knew we wanted something different. We wanted our guests to have more of an experience at the reception since our theme was quite unique. When we met with Cassy, she had A LOT of options and her food was beyond delicious! She was very nice, helpful and tended to our guests with superior customer service. She went above and beyond to make our reception extra special - as I mentioned earlier, our theme was unique so we asked if she could make "Butterbeer" from our favorite film, Harry Potter. Without any hesitation, she said "Absolutely! My kids LOVE Harry Potter!" All of our guests LOVED her food, sweet peach tea and of course the Butterbeer was amazing!! I would recommend her services to everyone and anyone. If you're looking for a caterer who will exceed your expectations and is professional in every aspect, Chef Cassy is your caterer! Thank you Cassy for making our reception an unforgettable experience!!

I hired Cassy for a party of 40. She was great to work with on the front end of menu planning and my guests raved about how good her food was. Her team arrived on time and their execution was flawless. I would recommend her for your next event.

My husband and I hired Chef Cassy for the preparation and service of a 3-hour, buffet-style brunch for 25 people in our home.
Strong Points
- Food was delicious. People loved the unique fried collard greens. Fried chicken was also delish.
- Overall strong presentation and professionalism Chef Cassy wore her chef's attire, her assistant was dressed all in black; both were very client service oriented (e.g. adapted to a minor last minute request easily); catered to the guests and the room by regularly refilling glasses and cleaning the tables; and had great positive energy. It's important for us to have people in our presence/ home with whom we can vibe, who are pleasant, and positive.
- Kitchen spotless at the end of the job
- Chef Cassy worked to have the pricing accommodate our budget. We ended up spending a little more than we wanted to, but thought that it was a reasonable total price.
Areas for Improvement:
- Food service (buffet style) could probably have been streamlined with pre-arrival food preparation. The delays were manageable and not really noticed by our guests (who were chatting, drinking, etc.) but it could have been smoother.
- Had I known people were going to love the food so much (especially the chicken) I would have ordered more... most guests went back for seconds. Chef Cassy should have told me how amazing the food would be so Id known to order extra!

Chef Cassy and her team catered an event at my home for 150+ people. The food was not only delicious but unique and memorable; everything exceeded all of my expectations. The quality and creativity that Chef Cassy showed with her food was superb. Chef Cassy was knowledgeable and patient during menu planning and her staff was a delight to work with. The team all showed an incredible level of professionalism and flexibility, always with a smile. I have never received so many compliments on catered food and I will absolutely choose Chef Cassy for all of my cateredevents moving forward. She is exceptional, her staff is immensely professional and her food is magical.

Chef Cassy is amazing! She was showed up on time, accommodated all of our guests ( and it was 105 degrees!) . She never missed a bit. Her food is crazy off the charts wonderful. The best I've had. Everything was fresh, homemade and put together with love. We will have her back for another event. Y'all have to give her a try. Also, she has a booth at the Texas State Fair, be sure to go check her out!
