Such great food and wonderful service!

Chef Jeff Catering was wonderful to work with. They were all so communicative and helpful with all of the questions that I had. The food was amazing and perfectly cooked. They had everything set up and made sure that all of the special requests I had for particular guests were completed and prepared for the wedding. I highly recommend working with Chef Jeff Catering for all of your events if you want professional, communicative, and kind staff that truly care about your day going perfectly.

Great Food, Pleasant Service and Patient!!

Our son found Chef Jeff for his wedding. Chef Jeff and team was very patient as we adjusted the menu to be sure that we had enough entrees, sides, and deserts.

All of the food was delicious and the service was very good. I especially liked the mango salsa on their chicken. The beef was very good. They had generous serving sizes.

Everyone was happy with the food and they made it easy for us to bring left overs home.
