My experience and knowledge has build creativity in me. My mind allows me to see more than a simple dinner. I see flavors, colors, and themes while maintaining elegance. There is never a boring day. No routine. Variety in activity. Meet a lot of people.

I hired Chef Ricky to cater my wedding. My husband and I had a limited budget since the wedding was planned in just a few short months. With no hesitation, Chef Ricky agreed to it and helped us plan it all. Weeks prior to the event, he visited our home for a small tasting on what he had to offer. He devised a menu that fit perfectly with our budget and catered exactly what we were looking for. The date had arrived and I couldn't have asked for anything better. Chef Ricky hired and trained servers that were perfectly presented. His level of professionalism was very impressive. Our guest, my husband, and myself were completely satisfied and proud to hire Chef Ricky.

Chef Ricky is very professional and responsive.Our event, a seated wine paring dinner for close to 200, was pulled together on a short time frame and he worked with us so patiently as our needs and numbers changed. He prepared a delicious meal and presented it beautifully. Our compliments to the chef!

Perfect elegance. We hired Chef Arredondo after heeing about his company Elegant Occasions through friends. We recently saw his name published in the paper and were impresses by the article. Immediately decided to get in touch with him and schedule an appointment. Our event lacked time and budget, Chef Arredondo kept bringing more to the table. He kindly offered a private dinner to be part of the auction we were hosting. We hired him and his team to cater both the kick off party and a sit down gala for over 200 guests. He hosted a tasting that left us speechless and very impressed. We made our decision right on the spot. The day of the event came and we couldn't have asked for anything better. His food was superb and the presentation of the whole evening magnificent. His selection of customed cocktails made us and our guests extremely satisfied. The evening ended with a beautiful display of desserts and delicious bites. Chef Arredondo, terrifiant.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is set on the amount of guest, finalized menu, and type of service needed.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our first meet/email consists of taking the time to listen to the client by asking a series of questions; budget, number of guests, service required, etc. We take some time to do numbers and find the ingredients with most quality at the best price to offer the most to our clients. We provide a few quotes to give them options. Details are finalized and a contract is prepared.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have several culinary degrees from different schools in Texas. I also visit cooking demonstrations and my former teachers to review techniques and flavors.
