The best rehearsal and wedding food ever!

We met Trevor, from Chef Pete back in 2020, he came to our home and made us a Valentines Day dinner and it was mind blowing. We were just dating at the time. Fast forward to 2023, we are engaged and are looking for a catering company, immediately, Chef Pete came to mind. Let me tell you they made the most delicious food for our rehearsal and wedding, I mean the most delicious food and in abundance! Our guests loved it, they haven’t stopped talking about it! We ate a ton of it and just cannot stop celebrating Chef Pete’s service! Lauren is such a delight! Professional, dedicated and super amazing. We had the best wedding food thanks to Chef Pete and his team! They even cut and served our cake, as a bonus! I mean, we won! The best team ever! We will for sure be reaching out for future family events!

A Michelin Star food experience at a wedding

When I tell you that Chef Pete provided the best food that I and my guests have EVER had, I am not exaggerating! He provided what can only be described as a Michelin Star food experience! It's been a few days since my wedding, and people are still calling me to tell me that the food was out of this world. He catered to all our requests and everyone on his staff was friendly and helpful! If he had a restaurant, we would book a permeant reservation and eat there daily!

Absolutely amazing food and service!

The food was absolutely delicious I can’t believe how great everything turned out. They were extremely communicative throughout the whole process and were able to answer any questions that me or my husband had. The servers and the bartender staff were amazing at the wedding and I know that every single one of my guests felt attended to which was a big thing for me! And most importantly they took care of us the bride and groom. The bartender committed my husband space to memory and which drink he wanted so his cup was never empty! The played and set appetizers aside for me and my husband to enjoy them privately in the bridal suite for when we were done taking our photos and had dinner served and ready for us at our sweetheart table as soon as we sat down. Absolutely worth every penny!

Amazing Service & Delectable Food

Chef Pete made our reception! All of our guests raved about the food. The team on-site made sure to take special care with the bride and groom, fixing them a plate of appetizer as well as bringing plates of food to the table. I am so pleased with my choice and didn’t have to worry throughout the event! I cannot recommend enough and am passing referrals on to everyone I know having a wedding.

Wonderful Food

We had a couple of menus to choose from and had a food tasting that was wonderful! They were so easy to work with and fit our budget perfectly. The food at the wedding was the same as the tasting and we highly recommend!

Amazing catering experience for our 100 person wedding

Chef Pete catered our wedding and we received so many compliments on the food. He was incredible throughout the planning process (we originally scheduled for Aug 2020, but... COVID). He was so easy about rescheduling and when we ended up hiring a coordinator to help with the wedding, he continued to be easy to work with and it was such a painless process overall. He also made sure to serve special plates to our vegan guests, and they were pleased with the food. He exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't have been happier with his service!

Chef Pete Coleman is the man!! He met with me, my husband and in laws for a multi-course tasting. He was flexible in customizing the menu to our budget. His team helped to bus tables, and bar tend. We received many compliments (unprovoked) on our wedding food- we were SO happy with Chef Pete and his team. Thank you again!!

People are still talking about it!

Delectable food and outstanding service. Our wedding banquet was enormously successful, thanks to Chef Pete and his charming staff. Each dish presented at the buffet was scrumptious and memorable—nearly every guest made a point to compliment us on our choice of caterer. The waiters were attentive, pleasant, and professional. The bartenders were lively, courteous, and eager-to-pour. Thank you, all!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
