Meghan and her team was fantastic!!!!!

I have used Chowgirls for multiple of my clients events but I worked with them again this past Friday for a client's wedding and Meghan their event manager was FANTASTIC! She was attentive and "on" during the entire duration of the event. The groom even had very severe dietary restrictions and she paid extra attention to make sure he was taken care of in a way that went above and beyond. Her and her team did a 12/10 job!!!!!

Great Caterer!

We had an excellent experience working with Chowgirls for our recent wedding. The team was organized and easy to work with both in the planning process and on the day off. The food was excellent (we had many guests tell us that the food was unusually flavorful for a plated wedding dinner). The summer rolls and lentil sambusas were huge hits. We also felt like the team went above and beyond. For example, knowing we were busy greeting guests during cocktail hour, the Chowgirls team presented us with a plate of the appetizers so we got the chance to enjoy them on our wedding day. We would highly recommend Chowgirls for any wedding or other event.

Absolute Best!

We hired Chowgirls for our wedding at Solar Arts Building on 9/25/21 and we couldn't have had a better experience! Our guests raved about how good the food was and the professionalism of their team blew us away. Our wedding was so amazing and we could not have pulled it off without them! Thank you!!
