I am originally from Ecuador South America. My fiance and I went to my country for vacation back on 2008 and she loved a traditional dish from my town called Goat Stew. When we got married we wanted to have that dish but unfortunately nobody here in Pennsylvania had even heard of it. When we told Chef Daneyon what we wanted he also had not heard of the dish but he agreed to go to an Ecuadorian Restaurant in New Jersey where they served this dish. As soon as he tasted the dish he said he will be able to recreate the dish. Chef Daneyon was able to get a goat from a local farm near Carlisle PA and made the most amazing "Goat Stew" that even my mom said it was delicious and reminded her of home. Chef Daneyon was very helpful, flexible and above all his food was amazing at a very reasonable price. If you are looking for something unique for your wedding, my wife and I definitively recommend Chef Daneyon.

We used Chef Exclusive for our August 13, 2011, wedding at the Ribbon Mill. Chef White and Julie were absolutely wonderful to work with and the food was delicious. We envisioned having a local, organic, eco-friendly wedding, but struggled to find a vendor that was willing to work with us to make this happen…until we stumbled across Chef Exclusive. Not only did Chef White help us bring our vision to reality, he suggested wonderful menu items and ensured everything served was from Central Pennsylvania.
We planned our wedding from afar, yet Julie made the process incredibly easy. She was flexible and able to meet with us each of the few times we were in town, and regularly scheduled phone conversations to touch base. She also arranged all of our rental items, which was a huge help!
Chef Exclusive helped make our wedding perfectly, uniquely “us” and we feel so fortunate to have worked with them. Numerous people commented to us how wonderful the food was, but two, in particular, were of note. Two guests who regularly attend fundraising functions for work purposes separately commented to us how it was the best catered chicken dinner they'd ever had. Given the number of catered meals they regularly eat, this comment was particularly impressive! Here’s our delicious menu:

HORS D'OEUVRES: A display of local Amish cheeses and meats, paired with homemade bread.
PRETZEL BREAD STICKS: These pretzels were handmade in this very building by Beiler’s Pretzel Company.
ORGANIC MIXED GREENS SALAD: A playful mix of greens, cucumbers, crisp apples, and goat cheese – all from Pennsylvania. The greens are from Spiral Path Farm in Loysville, the apples are from Peter’s Orchard in Gardners, the cheese is from an Amish dairy in Newville, and the veggies were bought this morning at the Shippensburg Farm Auction.
ORGANIC GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST: A free range, organic chicken breast topped with apple-onion chutney and served with garlic roasted red bliss potatoes and a ratatouille with seasonal vegetables. The chicken is from Eberly Poultry in Stevens, Pennsylvania, and all of the vegetables and apples came from Shippensburg and Peter’s Orchard.

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!
