Chef Mark and his team did a wonderful job of hosting our son’s birthday party. The food was delicious and beautifully displayed. Chef Mark was creative with the menu offerings which was a welcomed change. The M.A. Prime team was fun, very engaging and brought an exciting energy to the party atmosphere. Thank you!!

Chef Mark was able to take our short notice request and work within our budget to provide amazing food for our staff. He was considerate to what our needs were, and came up with a menu that was simply amazing. He came in and set up for us and we couldn’t have had it done any better.

M.A. Prime and Chef Mark far exceeded my expectations. Booking our cateringevent was very easy. He was eager to show me all of his offerings and I was very impressed with selections. We chose a traditional breakfast and it was executed to perfection. I cannot wait to have M.A. Prime out for a full dinner affair. Thank you very much and we look forward to being your longtime clients Chef Mark.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Once I provide you with a final invoice it will never change. I will be sure to include any and all fees ( shopping, transportation, equipment, etc.) in final pricing.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once you decide on M.A. Prime as your vendor for your event, the process is simple and very easy. I would like to schedule a sit down to discuss menu and complete paperwork. 2 Weeks prior to the event I would like to schedule a tasting to solidify the menu and make any changes the client would like to make. On the day of service, just sit back relax and enjoy the 5 Star Experience.
