You Need The Chef Paul Team at Your Wedding!

My husband and I cannot begin to put into words how AMAZING the Chef Paul team was at our wedding and how HAPPY we are that we chose to work with them. Patricia provided us with two amazing tastings prior to the wedding. She is clearly so knowledgeable about the industry and it was honestly a no-brainer choosing Chef Paul and team, not only for the delicious food, but also for their willingness to go above and beyond for us on our special day. The entire team knocked it out of the park. Everyone loved the food and the service was phenomenal, and the cake was BEAUTIFUL. Cannot have asked for a better team to cater our wedding day. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE AT CHEF PAUL FOR MAKING OUR WEDDING PERFECT!!!!
