wonderful job!

Chez Alice catered our wedding in August. The entire experience with them was wonderful, from the tasting to the day itself. The food was delicious, we received so many compliments from our guests as well. It was an outdoor wedding and even with a tent for the kitchen all the food was served hot and presentation was lovely and most importantly, everything was tasted great!

The staff was also fantastic to work with. Paula was our event coordinator and she was absolutely amazing. She was there every step of the way with planning. Communication was excellent, she was always quick to respond and always had an answer waiting for me. She was very efficient and helped coordinate with other vendors like the rentals and alcohol, so I felt like there was nothing I had to worry about forgetting or missing. The day of she made sure everything went smoothly and that we had everything we needed all night as well as taking care of the rest of our guests.

Attentive and Thorough

Our daughter’s recent wedding at Strawberry Hill Mansion was perfect from start to finish. Our wedding coordinator, Nora went out of her way to attend to every detail and calm all our anxieties about the big day. When communications with the rental company broke down, she and Luzsaid what every bride wants to hear: “ I’ll take care of it”. The staff for the reception was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend the strawberry wedding cake. So many compliments. The venue was made even more perfect by gorgeous weather although we were prepared for Plan B. I would highly recommend the Chez Alice/ Strawberry Hill combo!

Great food, Great people.

Its been two weeks since our wedding and people are STILL talking about all the food (and the neighbors are still coming over for leftover cake)!

They're a catering company so lets talk about the food first: it was incredible (although I wish our wedding was longer so we could have more time to enjoy it!). I just finished the last leftovers of our stationary apps and they were AMAZING. I didn't get to try the passed apps, unfortunately, but everybody was talking about them... UNTIL DINNER! From the salad to the steak we were just thrilled with how all the food came out. Personally, the orzo was my favorite but MOST people were talking to me about the eggplant rolatini. Hannah, my wife, was most partial to the steak.

While Chez Alice is a catering company, they were also our partners in planning the wedding. Let me start with Kelly, who runs a lovely business with an open heart as well as the love and respect of her employees. Kelly probably dealt with us more than she deals with other customers and treated us with generosity and respect throughout. The true star of the show for us, though, was PAULA! Our wedding was not your normal wedding: it was long, convoluted, and complicated; it mixed old jewish traditions with the ideas of young, open minds... Paula was not only open to all of it, but she went out of her way to go over the concepts with me and research the traditions in her free time. Paul negotiated deals with rental companies and alcohol companies, and even made difficult phone calls to some of those companies when I decided I didn't want to use them. Paula was enthusiastic and excited about our wedding during the planning, and took care of us all through the night while simultaneously making sure our 213 guests were entertained and happy at the same time.

No event is perfect: I'm an event planner and I know that. That said, ours was pretty close, and there's no way it would have been to as good without all the hard work and LOVE that Paula, Kelly and the whole Chez Alice crew put into it.

Seriously... even our snootiest of guests were pumped about the food...

Nora and Kelly from Chez Alice were amazing. From day one they were so flexible and responsive. On the day of our wedding the team and food were fabulous. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. I would definitely use Chez Alice for future events.

I can't put into words how great this company is! Amanda was amazing!!! She was there every step of the way from planning to execution and made sure my husband and I were taken care of the night of our wedding. You get so busy greeting your guests and making sure that they are happy you forget to stop and take care of yourself but every time I looked at our swearheart table there was food for us to eat and cake! She was amazing and would recommend them for any event! So professional and great people all around. They cared about making our day special, but most of all they genuinely cared for us as people. Hire them! You won't regret it!!!

These guys are a pleasure to work with. They really went out of their way to help us with every little detail for our wedding. Prices are very reasonable and the food was amazing. Weeks later our friends and family are still talking about how good the food was! Hands down the best cake I've ever had too!
