We couldn't have been more pleased with Chef James and his staff. Initially I was worried about arranging the wedding from a distance, but Chef James made it easy. He asked about us and our likes and dislikes, the venue and other relevant issues. The menu choices he came up with were perfect for us. The hors d'oeuvres and entrees were both unusual and delicious. The quality of the food exceeded our expectations and that of our guests. As it was an outdoor wedding, he came fully prepared with a refrigerated truck, grills, etc. His staff was excellent, attentive to every detail. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dinners with Class, LLC. Wish we had our photos to show how lovely the presentation was as well.

Details: Wedding • Cocktail hour or hors d'oeuvres • Dinner • Non-alcoholic drinks • Alcoholic drinks • Coffee or tea • American - formal • American - casual • Buffet • Yes, full service • Outdoor venue • Yes, full kitchen • 40 - 49 guests • Plates, utensils and glasses • Cloth napkins • Serving and warming equipment • Premium (high end ingredients)

What an incredible evening with Chef! I cannot say enough. He created an incredible meal that was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! I need to mentiom how great of a guy Chef is. Our son loves cooking and watched him work and askes a ton of questions. Oh and our son cleaned his plate of the first 3 courses before starting to get full lol. We were surprised how long Chef stayed and enjoyed just chatting with him. The food was seriously incredible. I'm looking at these photos and can recall the tastes of each like it was yesterday, not last month. Bonus; he left all the extra food and ingredients!!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • American - formal • American - casual • Italian • Mexican / Latin American • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

James delivered a meal that was beyond our expectations. Menu was creative and delicious. James was professional, friendly, and he fit right in! He brought everything he needed and left our home very clean. All guests were so excited to be a part of this event! It was so special. We will definitely be contacting James again for another event.

He did an amazing customized menu for my wedding. Most guests went back for seconds and I didn't hear a single complaint, even out of notoriously picky family members. I would absolutely recommend Dinners with Class to anyone looking for creative quality catering.

FAQs

What types of customers have you worked with?
Dinner party cooking classes for 8-12 people, where I demo a part of the meal during the appetizer portion of the event and then afterwards the guests get to dine on the item that they just learned how to make.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Know what you want, and be realistic about what you can afford, work with a caterer that will work with you and make your dreams a reality.
