We can’t say enough wonderful things about Chef Keith and the coordinator, Julie! Planning a wedding can be stressful, especially when it comes to food and making sure everything runs smoothly, but they handled it all beautifully. From the start, Julie managed all the logistics with so much care and patience, even with our many particular requests, while Chef Keith wowed us with his incredible cooking.
We had a tasting beforehand, which really set the tone for what we could expect on the big day. The appetizers—bruschetta, pigs in a blanket, and caprese skewers—were a hit right out of the gate. For dinner, they served perfectly cooked chicken, brisket, roasted mixed veggies, potatoes, and homemade rolls that tasted like they came straight from grandma’s kitchen. The bartenders they brought along were fantastic as well, keeping drinks flowing and guests happy.
One of the things we appreciated most was how they left us the remaining food at the end of the night—because let’s be honest, wedding food this good deserves an encore! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was, with many going back for seconds (and even thirds).
Your Kitchen Chef truly made the dining experience one of the highlights of our daughter’s wedding day. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for amazing food, impeccable service, and people who really care about making your day special.

From our very first private tasting with Keith himself, we knew we were in amazing hands. Julia, the catering manager, was incredibly responsive and collaborative throughout the entire process—always just an email, text, or call away and eager to make our vision come to life.

We had a few dietary restrictions in our group, and they handled them with absolute grace, without compromising the incredible flavor and quality of the food. For our large wedding of 120 guests, Keith and his team were a dream to work with. Every single guest raved about the food—many said it was the best wedding meal they’d ever had!

Keith was open, flexible, and genuinely enthusiastic about my ideas for the menu. He agreed to every detail I requested, down to the exact type of pasta, and delivered it all flawlessly.

If you’re considering catering for your wedding or any special event, I wholeheartedly urge you to book Keith and his team. They’re not only talented professionals but truly kind people who care deeply about creating a memorable guest experience.

We are still getting compliments on the food from our wedding! Everyone loved the coffee-rubbed brisket. Keith is a truly talented chef, and everything he prepared was absolutely delicious. Our guests raved about it all night long, and even days after the wedding. It’s rare to have food at a large event stand out this much, but he absolutely nailed it.

Beyond the food, the service was exceptional. The wait staff was professional, friendly, and attentive—they truly elevated the entire experience. Julie, the event coordinator, was an absolute joy to work with. She was organized, responsive, and calm under pressure. When a potential hiccup came up in our plans, she and her team were completely flexible and ready to pivot however we needed. That level of support made such a difference and allowed us to truly enjoy our day.

If you want incredible food, impeccable service, and a team who goes above and beyond to make everything perfect—this is the caterer you want. We couldn’t be happier!

My daughter and son in law were lucky to find this catering service, and we (the parents) could not have been happier with the food and service.
We were pleased to hear many guests thought the food was amazing, and of course we agreed. We were proud to provide wonderful food to match such a happy and important occasion.
We also used my kitchen chef to cater a breakfast for group of friends and family on the morning of the wedding. Breakfast was perfect and delicious, delivered hot and right on time.
This company is top notch, easy going, hard working and honest.
I also want to put in a good word for Julie M. who works with my kitchen chef (Keith), we used her as our reception coordinator. She was very responsive, professional and hard working. With Julie, we felt that we could relax and enjoy our daughter and son in law's big day.

I cannot recommend Keith and his crew from Your Kitchen Chef more highly! The food was absolutely delicious, not basic in any way (many wedding guests complimented us on this), the catering staff worked hard to make the evening run smooth, the bartenders were excellent. Every step of the way, Keith and Julie were professional, friendly and quickly responded to our questions. The food was one of the highlights of our daughter's wedding thanks to this company! Kudos!

This review focuses on Julie, the amazing catering coordinator who took on the added role of Day of Wedding Coordinator for our daughter's wedding. The bride and groom did all the planning and chose Your Kitchen Chef. As MOB, I wanted to add some extra touches to the day. I contacted Julie, looking for some extra help with decorations and she set me up! Between Julie and her contact, this MOB was able to relax and know the venue would look beautiful! Everything was executed perfectly. Julie went above and beyond in all aspects. Julie's a gem and truly cares about what she does! If you have the opportunity to work with Julie, you will have won the wedding lotto. I can't sing her praises high enough!

I couldn't have asked for a better catering experience than with Your Kitchen Chef for our wedding. From start to finish, their service was impeccable. The tasting with Head Chef Keith was the best food we have had, and it was tough to narrow down what we wanted for our final menu, the menu at our wedding was diverse and customizable, allowing us to create a meal that reflected our tastes perfectly. Every dish was exquisitely prepared and presented, delighting our guests with its flavor and elegance. There were many options to choose from! The staff was professional, attentive, and seamlessly ensured everything ran smoothly. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly made our special day unforgettable. You can tell them treated our wedding as a wedding and thought of every little detail. We even added late night snacks a few weeks leading up to the wedding and they gladly accommodated. If you're looking for top-notch wedding catering, Your Kitchen Chef is the ultimate choice.
We were also looking for a Day of Coordinator, and Julie on Staff worked with us for an additional fee, and she was the MVP of the wedding weekend and made the day flawless. I can't imagine not having her! There were so many things we didn't think of, and Julie helped make sure we were prepared. She is extremely accommodating and flexible we were so lucky to work with her. She is one of the best communicators I have ever worked with, flawlessly worked with multiple stakeholders and always checked in on me. She is the best in the business!!
I will refer all friends and family, and hope to host another event so I can work with them again!

Keith and his crew were amazing!! I loved that there were so many different options for food and he even had options for guests with dietary restrictions. We received nothing but great compliments on his food from guests and our family members. Keith and his crew did not disappoint!!

We cannot recommend Your Kitchen Chef enough for wedding catering! They catered my sisters wedding and I knew we just HAD to have then for ours. When we contacted them, the team was professional, attentive, and genuinely interested in making our wedding day perfect. They worked with us to create a customized menu that perfectly suited our tastes and preferences, and the food was absolutely delicious and the pizza pockets were a hit! Their bar staff were also wonderful! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the quality and the presentation was beautiful too. On the day of the wedding, the staff was punctual, friendly, and incredibly efficient - everything went off without a hitch. Overall, Your Kitchen Chef exceeded our expectations in every way and played a huge role in making our wedding day truly memorable. Thank you so much to the entire team!

We received a number of compliments from wedding guests attesting that the food from Your Kitchen Chef was "the best wedding food I've ever had!" We had trouble choosing our menu after the tasting because all of the options were delicious. The caterer provided food, service, bartending and our cutting cake all for a very reasonable price. The service was stellar as was the food. The staff was also high-energy at our wedding and helped in creating the fun environment of our day! We highly recommend this caterer for Portland area weddings!
