Chef Exclusive Catering LLC

We just used chef exclusive for our June 25, 2011 wedding and they were just awesome. We had an outdoor wedding under a tent with a dance floor and equipment rented from event central, and we had 200 people.
We first met the event manager Julie about a year ago at an initial meeting and from the start they were incredibly helpful and flexible. We wanted a certain caliber meal within a certain price limitation for a very larger crowd, and they offered suggestions to get everything that we wanted within our budget. They even allowed us to custom design a particular appetizer that we wanted.
Before the wedding Chef White came to our home and prepared a sample meal for my groom, my family and me and we got to see how the entire meal was going to be prepared. It was delicious, and was very excited for the food at the wedding. The prices at Chef Exclusive were very reasonable, and everything was so great that I was afraid it might be too good to be true, but it is actually as good, and better than you will anticipate.
In the months before the wedding the event manager Julie was with us every step of the way, checking our event inventory and offering suggestions for the hors d'ouerves, and the bar (we also hired our two bartenders from Chef exclusive, who were great and so much fun!)
I would definitely suggest the artichoke hors d'oureves. It was AMAZING, people kept wanting more, also the coconut shrimp was really really good.
My wedding party arrived later than cocktail hour began, and chef exclusive had laid out a special tray with some of each of our hors d'ouerves, water, a tray of signature cocktails for the ladies, and other drinks on ice for the gentlemen.
For dinner we had crabcakes, primerib, plus vegetarian and kid options. The dinner was just as good as chef prepared at our house, delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly, and the crab cakes had a lot of crab, and not a lot of filler, which is just how we wanted them. The salad was also very good. The head table service was excellent and our server made sure everyone had champagne.
We also used Chef Exclusive's table wine service. One point I have to make about chef exclusive and having an off site wedding is you can buy your own alcohol (which saves money), but we also got to hand select our wines (which was important to us). Chef Exclusive charges no corking fee, and no additional bottle service fee.
Julie and two event managers helped organize everything, and they got the dinner out exactly on time, to 200 people. The servers were great as well. We needed to keep the bartenders overtime because the party was still going, and they happily accommodated us. Overall we were very impressed and extremely happy. I'm pretty sure my mom hugged Chef White at the end of the night she was so happy with how everything went!
If you have any questions, or want some feedback or photos from my wedding (which I should have within the next few weeks), you can get in touch with Julie at Chef Exclusive and she can give you my contact information. I would recommend chef exclusive to anyone.

I can honestly say that our wedding day was truly wonderful from start to finish, and Chef Exclusive played a very big role in that. I left our final meeting before the wedding feeling confident that Julie and the rest of the staff had covered every possible detail and scenario. The excellent food and wonderful service made the reception extra special. I still have guests telling me how much they enjoyed Chef White's meals, and I have several requests for contact information because they were so impressed. One is for a wedding next year, and one is for a holiday party in December. We have nothing but good thiings to say about our experience!

We could not be happier with the whole experience provided by Chef Exclusive. From the beginning, Julie went out of her way to help us with every aspect of the catering and rentals. And, on the day of the wedding, everything was better than we could have expected--the food was excellent and the service was even better! Everyone was professional and courteous to everyone there. I would be happy to have you do another event in a heartbeat!
