Delicious & Fun

Holy guacamole! Actually, there was no guac at our wedding, but there were crazy explosions of flavor at all corners. When it first came to choosing a caterer for our wedding, I was somewhat indifferent. I assumed wedding food is more or less the same. With Barry’s cooking, I couldn’t be more wrong. I just wish he had a restaurant near me so I could enjoy his flavors on a regular basis. My mouth is still watering as I think of the potato fritters, lamb kabobs, jerk chicken, mac and cheese . . .

Soooooooo delicious!!!!

Barry and his team were just amazing! Soooo worth it! My wife and I are still dreaming about the lamb kabobs, the scrambled eggs with caviar in an egg shell on a bed of salt, the amazing Persian love cake and everything in between!! He’s a really down to earth kind soul.

From day 1 Barry Clarke was amazing to work with. He was very responsive to our initial email, and worked with us to find a delicious menu full of the bold flavors we love and fresh produce that he would be able to get locally sourced at the time of our wedding. He was also conscious to not overlook menu options for vegetarians and people with a less adventurous pallet. He invited us to his home to taste test the menu, and we were won over immediately. He is not only an amazing chef, but also personable, kind, and funny. His love and passion for what he does is palpable.

Up until and throughout the wedding Barry was very responsive to questions. He has obviously been to a lot of weddings and he had great suggestions and ideas throughout the whole process. His attention to detail the day of the wedding was unparalleled including beautiful presentation of food with edible flowers, ample staff passing hors d’ouvres to ensure guests had their full, and a fast moving buffet line. He was even thoughtful enough to make sure that hors d’ouvres were brought to the wedding party as we were taking pictures to ensure we didn’t miss out on the delicious food.

We still have not stopped receiving compliments on the delicious food and the great chef who seemed to go out of his way to ensure each guest enjoyed themselves. We can not thank Barry enough for adding his special touch to our wedding day and we would recommend him wholeheartedly to others!
