Artisan Chef Catering

The best catering company that I have ever worked with. The best food we had at a wedding event. From planning the wedding menu and all the final details, Artisan Chef Catering has it all. For the wedding we had stations; pasta, sliders and fajita. This allowed our guests to come together as they made their decision as to which station, they wanted to try first. The deserts were shooters a very fun idea: Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, Pumpkin Pie and Apple Crisp Cookie with Apple Compote, Caramel and Whipped Cream. The food was absolutely outstanding. The Artisan Team is professional, personable, and extremely friendly and definitely worth being part of your event. A huge shout out to Jamie and her remarkable team for being part of our big day.

The Catering team was amazing to work with they were so sweet and thoughtful. During the cocktail hour they made us our own little apps board so we could snack while we took some photos and they made sure to keep our dinners warm and covered while we mingled with our guests. They were a breeze to work with and the butternut squash was to die for everyone was talking about it!

We got great reviews on the food from all our guests! From the beginning of our planning process through the wedding night, the whole staff was very flexible and helpful to help make our vision a reality. They did a great job setting up all the tables and decor just how we envisioned it. They frequently checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

We worked with Alison Kerrigan, who was extremely responsive, flexible, and helpful through every step of our wedding planning process. As a COVID bride, we semi-planned and rescheduled our wedding a couple of times and Alison was understanding and helped us adapt to the circumstances. Her enthusiasm for the food and for our wedding was incredible; especially when it's sometimes hard to be as enthusiastic about your own wedding when you are in the depths of wedding planning (and ESPECIALLY during 2020/2021), that meant a lot.

The food itself was incredible! Since we were having a small guest list, and a casual backyard affair with no dancing, the food really was the central part of the event. Alison came up with great ideas- like adding a first course of a chickpea curry/stew with naan and mini samosas as a nod to my Indian heritage. I wasn't sure about how Indian food would turn out but, all credit to Chef Katie Newt, it was actually for me, the highlight of an already incredible menu. The beef tenderloin skewers and hazelnut crusted chicken were my other favorites, and my new husband (!) especially loved the chicken dumpling appetizers. They helped us get a cake (we picked plain vanilla with raspberry and it was shockingly good, I thought!) and bartending staff (super nice, great drinks).

Two Chefs/ Artisanal Chefs were easily the thing that tied our wedding together and we absolutely loved it. I should also mention that they were affordable and genuinely concerned with how to help us envision the menu we wanted while keeping costs reasonable. Their quotes were one of the lowest we had, which is why it is especially exciting to report that the food was exceptional. [FYI, we asked to allow our guests to choose their entrees at the table, and if we had them pre-fill their choices, the quote would have been much lower, if that is helpful for anyone].

I would hire them again without a second thought (and in fact, we were thinking we needed to have an event again sometime, just so we could hire them again!). If you are thinking about it, don't hesitate to reach out to them.

These folks are amazing and their food is too! We knew from the first appetizer at our tasting that Two Chefs was going to be catering our wedding. There’s the fact that everyone we worked with was out of this world kind, but their food really speaks for itself. “Bad wedding food” is a trope for a reason, we’ve all been to weddings where the catering is memorable for the wrong reasons. But everything here was a real home run. The variety is expansive, and every single detail was phenomenal. We wound up with a fun, eclectic buffet that we’ll remember fondly forever. Shout out to Allison, who worked with us so thoughtfully and really pulled off some magic tricks. Tara and Katie and Joe, the entire team made us feel like we were putting on one big party. Which is a great feeling, and maybe a rare one in such a weird year. We changed venues and cut our guest list considerably because of the pandemic. Two Chefs was there for us the whole way. Their pricing is fair and completely up front. They facilitated rentals for us too which made us both feel a little less crazy in the run up to our wedding. Can’t recommend these guys enough!

A 2020 review for a wedding that never happened. But let's rewind to better, healthier times. While in planning mode, we were dropped by our caterer with only a few months to spare. Artisan Chef Catering heard our frantic plea and booked us on the spot. To sweeten the deal, their food was delicious and price on point. Ok now fast forward, and they were incredibly flexible and kind in postponing our wedding until 2021. Now it's 2021 and we are still in the midst of the pandemic and we had to make the very hard call to cancel. Artisan Chef has been with us through this whole journey and we are grateful to them. Choose them for your next event -- you won't be disappointed!

Given COVID, we changed plans in July for our October wedding. Jamie was responsive and helpful in helping us plan last minute. Their team served our "before we do BBQ" with tacos from their van which were a huge hit. The day of the wedding, the food was amazing. My fiancé said it was the best meal of his life and he's pretty hard to please. Would definitely recommend this team!

When you get married food is at the top of the list for what makes the perfect event. That delicious, perfect, memorable food is exactly what Two Chefs brought to our wedding. Two Chefs came highly recommended to us and we couldn’t be more thankful. Two Chefs was the first vendor we booked for our wedding and they helped us build the base of how we wanted our entire wedding to look and feel. We worked directly with Tara to plan our wedding. I really loved working with her! She had great ideas and embraced ours. I really loved all the details she put into our wedding food to make it “on theme.” Our wedding was at a vineyard. We have big Italian families and I just wanted it to feel like a big family dinner. Ideas like a bruschetta bar, gelato for dessert and other Italian dishes really brought this idea to life. And even with all the restrictions around COVID, she helped us figure out ways to keep our original ideas and keep our guests safe. I really appreciate Tara guiding us through the safety process.
Our guests are still RAVING about the food. I got some many calls the next day saying specifically how delicious the food was. Family members are trying to figure out how and when we can have another event so that Two Chefs can cater again! The short rib, the butternut squash ravioli, the chicken piccata, the gelato …. Everything was delicious and perfect! I am getting hungry right now just writing this now!

I also found Two Chefs easy to work with, not just because of the collaborative working style, but also because of their extensive experience working at our venue, Fulchino Vineyard. Because they have worked at the venue many times, they knew the ins and outs of the venue and have a trusting relationship with the owners. They know the setup, the best place to set up the tables and how to work well with the owners. This allowed me to sit back and not worry about the flow, set up/presentation of the food. Tara was also that amazingly thoughtful person that came over and asked she could bring me and my husband some food while we were taking our pictures. Love that about her.

I highly recommend using Two Chefs for your wedding or event. I really loved working with Tara and the Two Chefs team, and I look forward to working with them again in the future. Thank you all so very, very much!

We got married on 10/10/2020 during Covid. We were supposed to get married at a venue but that quickly changed and we had to host a small wedding ceremony at our home. Planning a wedding is stressful on a normal day but Covid definitely added to that. Once I started working with Two Chefs, I immediately felt at ease. We had no idea what we were doing and Jamie led us though the process and made me feel confident that we could pull it off. The food was amazing, the Chef was super professional and did a wonderful job. If you’re looking for fantastic food and a great team, definitely go with Two Chefs Are Better Than One, your guests will be talking about the delicious food you served for some time after your event, just as mine are.

As promised- Bride and groom happy
