We hired Chantel for our intimate wedding and she was FANTASTIC! We booked her almost a year in advance and she was able to provide tastings for everything we wanted to try. I was a little worried that after all that time, if we would still be as impressed with the food.... And honestly it was even better than what we remembered!
We did BBQ ribs, chicken & waffles, and pulled pork sliders and Mac & cheese. All our guests raved about how much they loved her food... And was so much better than the traditional boring wedding food! And man I was so upset there wasn't nearly enough leftovers for us for the next day. Haha
Thank you so much Chantel for accommodating all our requests, all our calls and emails, and truly being someone so dependable for us. You made our wedding definitely one to remember! Sorry these were all the photos I was able to get... I'll send more to you when we get our professional pics back.
We hope to work with you again sometime in the future! Thank you again.

Chantel has been absolutely amazing! We hired her for our wedding of 90 people for our wedding last weekend, 8/17/24. Throughout the process she helped us come up with appetizers and main entrees and sides! Then she set up a tasting where we were blown away by the flavors of everything! We had her Philly cheese steak egg rolls, amaaaazing hands down, so many guests were raving about and her salmon. The main entrees were absolutely delicious! Chicken marsala and roasted citrus Salmon with capers, we chose these dishes because we love them! Chantel took our favorite dishes and elevated them! Chantel was a joy to work with, she even catered our bach/Bachelorette party, the weekend prior! Which she also made amazing appetizers that got demolished by the end of night! We will definitely be hiring her again when the next opportunity comes! Chantel is very personable, timely, professional and overall, an incredible chef!! She is worth every penny you spend on your cateringevent! The best value, you will not be disappointed! Thank you Chantel and your team for everything you've done and putting so much love in your dishes for us and our guests to enjoy!

They were very prompt. They help plan the menu for my mom's celebration of life. We were in constant communication with the planning and picking things out for menu items. It was a great experience and I will definitely use them again.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Chantel! She did an incredible job as our personal chef for our wedding. Our guests can’t get over how perfectly cooked the steak was or how fabulous the German potato salad turned out! We gave Chantel a difficult task in an unconventional venue and she just rose to the occasion! We can’t thank her or her team enough for accommodating our every wish!
