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!!

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!

Best caterer ever!

Chef John and team are amazing! First of all the food was so so yummy… and there are so many selections so I’m sure whatever you pick that we didn’t pick is also amazing. We actually wanted Chef John before we had even solidified our venue in the area and made sure it was going to happen! My husband and I were never not waited on, everywhere we turned we were being offered water, drinks, and food. We received multiple compliments about how good the food was and also we finished our plates which usually the bride and groom don’t do (so people say). He’s also so nice and every person on his team is so nice! You can’t go wrong, please book them for your wedding!
