Such yummy food

The food was amazing. The appetizers were delicious and everyone couldn't get enough of them. We ran behind schedule so the food was a bit cold but still so delicious. The chef and his staff were amazing to work with. They communicayed with us all the details until the day of. Price wise they were great. We spent about 70 per person for 3 different meats, vegetables, appetizers and a delicious beautiful cake.

We highly recommend this catering company!

Food was delicious and guest could not stop talking about the quality of the food. Chef Danyell was flexible and willing to make our menu work. He researched and created a delicious Ecuadorian dish (which was the hit of our wedding!) that we were wanting to have. Overall wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend for your wedding day!
