Working with Sarah and her team at Chef's Expressions was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. From our first phone call, I could feel Sarah's creative, organized, calm, and experienced approach. Over emails and phone calls, Sarah helped us design a menu for our 150 guests of passed appetizers, family-style dinner, and a bar list that fit within our budget. Chef's Expressions was the first tasting we did and they set the bar super high (honestly, we only did one other tasting after them which didn't compare at all, so the choice was obvious). The food at our wedding tasted exactly like the tasting and guests were raving about it.
Beyond the food though, Sarah was the best person I could have imagined working with throughout the months leading up to, the week of, and during and after the wedding. We did not use a wedding planner (we had a really clear vision about what was most important to us, decided to put that budget towards other things, and I wanted to do the research and planning myself!). We got married at the BMA, so the venue itself is stunning and doesn't need much in terms of decorations. Sarah worked with us to create floorplans for the ceremony area, which turned into the cocktail area and then flipped during dinner to become a reception/dancing space, and the dinner space, which was at long tables in an adjacent courtyard. We sent some initial inspiration photos and she got exactly what we were going for. She handled all the rentals of tables, chairs, linens, glassware and dishes. We went with simple place settings, tall dramatic flowers, and candles, with paper on the tables and colored pencils for guests to draw. Not only did Sarah help execute this idea perfectly, but she also rolled up the paper after dinner, then cut out and saved some of the messages and drawings that guests had left for us. Looking through those the day after the wedding made me cry!
From the big-picture vision, to executing all the moving pieces of furniture and equipment vendors and managing a server + bartender team of 17 people, to the small details like saving the guests' messages from the dinner tables, Sarah was the greatest person I could have imagined working with. She's the best and has an amazing team!!!

Choosing Chef's Expressions for our wedding caterer was hands down the best decision ever! We worked with Sarah, who was kind, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire process. From the moment we met her at the tasting I knew we had made the right decision! She went above and beyond for us throughout the whole planning process. We got so many compliments on how delicious the food and drinks were. I would recommend Chef's Expressions and Sarah to everyone!!

After booking our venue, booking with Chef's Expressions was the next vendor that we booked. Sarah absolutely blew us away with her experience, attention to detail, ease of communicating, professionalism, etc. Sarah, we are SO grateful for you!!

I found comparing caterers to be one of the most difficult parts of the wedding planning process. They all price things differently and offer different things. Sarah made everything so easy. I can't even put into words how much of a gem she is.

On top of Sarah being an absolute rockstar, the food was AMAZING! Wedding food is hard to nail down because it's such a mass quantity. One of my friends (who is a very tough food critic) said it was the best wedding food she's ever had.

100/10 recommend. Thank you to Sarah & the Chef's team for being so fantastic. I miss you already!
