About
What do wedding bells make you dream of? An elaborate summer affair for hundreds...an intimate retreat for only your family and closest friends...or something in between? Chef's Garden has helped create hundreds of weddings; however, because weddings are so uniquely personal, no one is a better expert on your wedding than you. Therefore, our first meeting will focus on YOU! Your tastes, style, vision, and values. In order for us to serve you at the highest level possible, we must build a foundation of trust, integrity, and respect, much like the union in which you are about to engage. We want you to feel comfortable expressing your thoughts and ideas so that we can help make your vision a reality on the big day.
Who We Are:
Chef’s Garden was founded in 2001 by Liz Earnest with the simple aspiration of serving delicious joy. The company grew faster than she anticipated and in 2005, Liz’s daughter, Jennifer, joined the team. Together they have grown the company into a full-service catering, event, and restaurant firm, with exclusive venues that include The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens.
Catering is about more than just food. It’s about delicious food, gracious service, and innovative presentation. We believe that food should be pan to plate and hold ourselves to the highest standards and like to be judged against restaurant quality. We believe service should not only be discerning, but warm and gracious. We know that we eat with our eyes first, so food needs to look as good as it tastes.
