When it comes to excellence in professionalism, creativity and food DaRae is absolutely incomparable. I have worked with her and her staff on too many occasions to count. They are simply the best. The food is absolutely amazing and the presentation is always incredible. Her staff are always so friendly and professional and DaRae herself, well you will LOVE her. This is another vendor that I, personally, would plan my wedding day around. My absolute highest recommendation.
