Best caterer
My husband and I had our reception caterer by Chef’s Culinary Journey this past July. We had rescheduled from a different caterer, Paul and his team were a dream to work with during that stressful time, and it was a complete zephyr to schedule and added us to their already busy calendar! When we first inquired to Chef’s Culinary Journey, we knew they would be the one. They are not your conventional caterer, this is a company that will completely tailor themselves to your needs, do whatever it is that you hope to have for your special day. I cannot stress enough how perfect they are, no other caterer can ever or will ever compare to their level. We were able to call and schedule as many appointments as we needed to make sure our wedding would go as planned. Paul, Jessica, Tinu and Dawn and all the staff know how to conduct a wedding in order for it to be perfect. The food presentation provoked a dazzling wow and tasted amazing, staff were punctual and flawless. Trust us, PERFECTION exists at Chef’s Culinary Journey!

HIGHLY recommended Caterer
We came across Chef’s Culinary Journey who was highly recommended by a close friend at the very last minute in the mist of Covid-19. Paul helped us every step of the way, he made a very stressful process serene and easy, accommodated late meetings after 7 pm, due to my hectic schedule. Paul recommendations from the florist, DJ, photographer and venue were spot on. The Boulevard grand ballroom was perfect, everything from the lighting, décor, flower arrangements, to the friendly staff and bridal attendants. Chef’s Culinary Journey food was amazing! From presentation, flavors to execution were perfect. Everyone was raving and boasting about everything they had. The staff was great and very attentive. This was such a great wedding, better than expected, I had so much fun. Everyone complimented on how the day went so efficient and how everything and our needs were accommodated for everyone at the wedding. I would definitely recommend Chef’s Culinary Journey to everyone I know! Thank you Mike Simmons for recommending them to us

World Class Caterer
Chef’s Culinary Journey, never in my life have I had food this good. The food was out of this world, we loved the organic farm-to-chefs-to-plate concept. I am still getting calls from family members and friends stating that my wedding was the BEST wedding that they have ever been to. If I had to go back and re-plan my wedding, the first thing I would do is book Chef’s Culinary Journey again. They’ve been awesome collaborators and contributors in helping us realize our vision. Paul was amazing during the planning stages. Every member of the team was very responsive and helpful. And they did work within our budget. I absolutely would recommend them again and again
