Its been two weeks since our wedding and people are STILL talking about all the food (and the neighbors are still coming over for leftover cake)!

They're a catering company so lets talk about the food first: it was incredible (although I wish our wedding was longer so we could have more time to enjoy it!). I just finished the last leftovers of our stationary apps and they were AMAZING. I didn't get to try the passed apps, unfortunately, but everybody was talking about them... UNTIL DINNER! From the salad to the steak we were just thrilled with how all the food came out. Personally, the orzo was my favorite but MOST people were talking to me about the eggplant rolatini. Hannah, my wife, was most partial to the steak.

While Chez Alice is a catering company, they were also our partners in planning the wedding. Let me start with Kelly, who runs a lovely business with an open heart as well as the love and respect of her employees. Kelly probably dealt with us more than she deals with other customers and treated us with generosity and respect throughout. The true star of the show for us, though, was PAULA! Our wedding was not your normal wedding: it was long, convoluted, and complicated; it mixed old jewish traditions with the ideas of young, open minds... Paula was not only open to all of it, but she went out of her way to go over the concepts with me and research the traditions in her free time. Paul negotiated deals with rental companies and alcohol companies, and even made difficult phone calls to some of those companies when I decided I didn't want to use them. Paula was enthusiastic and excited about our wedding during the planning, and took care of us all through the night while simultaneously making sure our 213 guests were entertained and happy at the same time.

No event is perfect: I'm an event planner and I know that. That said, ours was pretty close, and there's no way it would have been to as good without all the hard work and LOVE that Paula, Kelly and the whole Chez Alice crew put into it.

Seriously... even our snootiest of guests were pumped about the food...

Our daughter’s recent wedding at Strawberry Hill Mansion was perfect from start to finish. Our wedding coordinator, Nora went out of her way to attend to every detail and calm all our anxieties about the big day. When communications with the rental company broke down, she and Luzsaid what every bride wants to hear: “ I’ll take care of it”. The staff for the reception was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend the strawberry wedding cake. So many compliments. The venue was made even more perfect by gorgeous weather although we were prepared for Plan B. I would highly recommend the Chez Alice/ Strawberry Hill combo!

Loved how personable everyone was! And they were very patient and understanding with all of my thoughts and ideas!
