10/10 best catering ever!

The whole team at What the Chef is absolutely amazing. Their food is to die for and everyone you encounter is outgoing, friendly, and they obviously take pride in their work! Our tasting was so relaxed and they made us feel right at home. Then on our wedding day, they absolutely knocked it out of the park! All of our guests were raving about the food immediately, but we also got a lot of texts throughout the following week with people loving the food at our wedding! Everything was absolutely delicious, even the chef himself was at our wedding - he personally prepared our plates and later came out and said hi to not only us but our guests as well. We really felt like part of their family! 10/10, highly recommend and can't say enough good things about this fantastic team!
