Best wedding food and staff!

We're so glad we hired Renaissance Chef for our wedding! They were so responsive to all of my questions and had really great communication ahead of the wedding, which helped alleviate some of the wedding stress. The food was delicious, all of our guests were talking about how good the sirloin steak was. They made sure the bride and groom got food throughout the day and helped with the set up before dinner. The staff were attentive and fun, even teaching the guests some dance moves! Cannot recommend them enough!

Wonderful food and catering service!

We found Renaissance Chef catering for our wedding in October, hosted at the Tea Room in Gambrill State Park. We had a chance to talk to Erin, and set up a take-home tasting. The food was wonderful - it was hard to decide which items to pick! They were really great about coordinating with us and the our guests who had food allergies and restrictions as well, highlighting a couple items on our plan that we didn't realize might be problematic for our guests - the attention to detail was great. I really appreciate that they had biodegradable options to serve from, though I did notice that the bamboo utensils that came with our event catering were different than the samples that came with our tasting. Overall, we had a really great experience and would definitely recommend them and use them again for future events.

Seriously Awesome Food and People

Renaissance Chef was hands down the best vendor we chose for our wedding. They were very communicative, responsive, and professional throughout the whole process, from the generous tasting, special requests and changes, quotes and pricing, and the day of. While not the cheapest option around, there are tons of interesting menu choices, the food was absolutely delicious and we're still thinking about how great it tasted a month later! Lisa was so nice and helpful the day of. 10/10 so happy we went with Renaissance Chef
