Thanks for everything

I cannot say enough good things! This is my second time booking Chef Matthew and once again, he went above and beyond. We asked for vegetarian meals and what he prepared was fresh, inspired, delicious, healthy, and exactly what my group was looking for. He surprised us with bruschetta and guacamole for midday snacks and even ran out to get us firewood. He was on time, kept the kitchen clean, and helped make for a stress free retreat. 100% will book him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a private chef.

Top Notch!

Chef Matthew was truly incredible. He communicated well, showed up on time every day, curated a wonderful menu for all 5 meals, and was also really friendly. He made our wedding next level, I would highly recommend Chef Matthew to anyone looking for a private chef for their event.

Amazing! Thank you!

Matthew was one of the best parts, and decisions, of our wedding! From coordinating rentals, making the menus for every place setting, his help, guidance, and patience with all my questions (I think our email chain reached 100 emails!), his whole team’s interactions and with guests, setting up and serving, his suggestions on menu items to fit the vibe we were going for while still working within our budget, and accommodating any dietary restriction with ease, so much of the wedding stress was relieved with the help of the Ripley Hospitality crew. Our guests still talk about the amazing food (and Matthew himself), and our wedding was in May! If you need a caterer for your wedding, or any event, Evan and his team are your people! Can’t wait for us to host more events in the future so we can work with them again. Included a couple pictures from our wedding, not all of the apps/entrees are pictured. These guys are seriously awesome!
