Best wedding caterer

CHIC CHEF IS THE BEST! We cannot say enough good things about them! Ravi + Lily bent over backwards to help accommodate us with our tastings during the COVID-19 pandemic. They were so flexible and so easy to work with. Lily and Ravi were very responsive to every email and every question we had. They even worked with our budget and helped us chose things that worked well with our venue.

Having great food at our wedding was so important to us, and everything we tried was DELICIOUS! The day of our wedding, we got SO MANY compliments on our food and the service Chic Chef provided. We had the chicken florentine and the Brazilian churasco for our entrees, and the asparagus and rice for the sides. They were perfect. For our apps, we had the veggie eggrolls, the tuna wontons, and the bacon apple crostini. AMAZING!

Our passed apps were TO DIE FOR and there was plenty to go around for all of our guests. We chose a buffet style for our reception because it worked well with our budget- let me tell you, if you are worried about buffet style, like I was, DON'T BE! This was a served buffet and everything was warm, flavorful and delicious. Everything looked very professional - and it was perfect.

Ravi from Chic Chef works so hard to make sure your wedding is perfect. And he will not nickel and dime you. We wanted an open bar and he suggested we opt out of their liquor package and suggested we buy our own alcohol to save money. It worked out perfectly. They guided us on how much alcohol to buy and we had plenty for their bartenders to serve throughout the evening. Their bartenders (forgive me, I forgot their names!)were so fun and engaging! They even started dancing and had fun at our reception which our guests loved!

Also, during the reception, we wanted to have bottles of wine on each table to self serve as the bar would be closed during dinner. The bartenders opened all of our bottles of wine and ensured everything was at the tables before reception start. It worked out so well!

Now let me get to the star of the show (other than the food itself) --- ENRIQUE! A HUGE THANK YOU TO ENRIQUE! He was absolutely the best part of our wedding and he made sure our wedding was perfect, and it was all thanks to him! During cocktail hour we took pictures, and he followed my husband and I around with appetizers and drinks to make sure we actually got to eat the food! Throughout the entire reception he made sure we had everything we needed. He even brought us water to alternate with the alcohol we were drinking, which my husband and I appreciated! ;) We loved his light up serving tray too!

Chic Chef is, in our opinion, the ONLY caterer you need for ANY event. We would recommend them and hire them in a heartbeat. Thank you so so much Chic Chef!

1000/10 would recommend!

Planning a wedding is wild, and one of the biggest areas of complexity is catering. We wanted a sophisticated and refined experience, with food that would be memorably good, and fun details that would blow our guests minds. We got all that and more with Chic Chef and Lucy.

From our very first phone calls and emails, through our big day, the whole team was friendly and professional in all the right ways. The balance between the two can be hard, but we never felt like it was purely a business transaction. Lucy and the team were incredibly flexible and accepting of some of our weird ideas (like banana margaritas), and generally just took away all the stress.

They gained our confidence quickly within the first tasting and conversation around that, and had our trust as they guided us through what would look nice, go over well, what was reasonable and what wasn't. They clearly do this often, and do it well.

Their existing relationship with our venue and some of our other vendors definitely helped, but it never felt like we were on the sidelines.

On the big day, it was so fun to see Lucy and the team in execution mode. She was so attentive to us, and displayed a cool air of confidence that helped ensure we didn't even have a momentary thought that anything could go any other way than perfect. Everyone loved the food, the portions were immaculate, glasses were never empty, and our signature drinks and late night street tacos went off without a hitch.

We cannot recommend Chic Chef, Lucy, and the whole team enough! The only part we're sad about is not having an excuse to interact with the team more regularly, and that no one will live up to the bar they set again.

Awesome food and great people

I cannot recommend Chic Chef enough! The food and service was fantastic. We got a lot of compliments and they were flexible as we changed aspects of the service/menu up to the last minute and asked for an 8+ hour open bar. Staff was great as well. Responsive, patient, thorough, and committed to their clients.
