Passionate Chef - Amazing Events!

People still talk about how delicious our food was a YEAR ago! Chef John listened to what we wanted and came up with a selection of food that would be fun and interesting for our guests. They served pre-ceremony cocktails, kept everyone fed and enjoying themselves all evening with late night foods too. As a fellow wedding vendor myself, I see the behind the scenes of wedding vendors and chose CHEFs because they have always done a great job serving guests as every wedding and keeping everyone with full bellies and having a great time! I highly recommend them!

EXCEPTIONAL Catering and Service!!!

We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience for our wedding! From start to finish, Chef John, the owner, was incredibly professional and attentive. The food was absolutely phenomenal! With countless choices from their provided menu, we crafted a delicious menu that we and all of our guests enjoyed. Leading up to the event, Chef John’s communication was seamless and he was willing to accommodate our requests and needs with flexibility and ease. The day-of staff were friendly, efficient, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. After the ceremony, Jen ensured that we stayed hydrated and were not without a drink in our hand—this was so thoughtful and necessary! CHEFS Catering deserves well beyond 5 stars. We are beyond grateful for their outstanding service and highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent catering!

Simply wonderful from start to finish!

Chef John and his team were amazing and wonderful to work with. Communication was very easy and responsive to all requests and questions. The food and drinks were spectacular. As father of the bride I was so proud of the interaction between his staff and all of our guests. I received so many compliments on the appetizers, the meal, and how gracious his crew were with everyone. Made a special day even more wonderful. Thanks Chef John!!
