Top notch customer service!!!

Chef Raquel and her team catered my wedding this past Sunday. When I say everything was amazing, it was!! From the time I met her at the bridal show almost 2 years ago, dealing with Covid which postponed my initial date, she was yet very accommodating in helping me regroup from the changes. Even at the wedding, I know we only paid for 3 hours but she stayed a little extra just to make sure everything was put away to take back with us afterwards for our out of town guest. I couldn’t have made a better choice choosing Chef Raquel and her team.

Best Food Experience Hands Down!

Chef Raquel and her team catered my wedding on yesterday and I could barely wait to share my experience. First of all, my guest are still going on and on about the food. I had the Classic menu, it as simple but so filling. The staff were all dressed nicely and professional and there was even a little server as well. I believe he’s the Chef’s son, he was so polite and clearly well taught. Catering is one of most important things to a successful wedding and I couldn’t have made a better choice. Thank you so much for helping make my day a success. It was a pleasure working with you over the past year.
