  An Unforgettable Experience

  Working with Bonnie has been beyond incredible. We would recommend her without hesitation. She and her team delivered an immense amount of value from their out-of-this-world food to their amazing service. The whole process from start to finish was fun and collaborative. She really captured and delivered on the vision we had. To top it all off, her staff was wonderful and the venue we used said they had never worked with such a friendly and thorough catering company before.

  Chef Bonnie and her team were amazing!

  Chef Bonnie was very responsive, professional and accommodating from the first contact to the end. We adjusted the menu and the number of guests multiple times and she always got back to us in a day or two.
  
  On the wedding day, she and her team arrived hours early to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
  
  Thank you for being the highlight of our wedding day. We got so many compliments from our family about the gorgeous presentation (I especially love the pasta with petals) and the amazing taste. It wouldn't be the same without you and your team!

  Incredible...!

  Chef Bonnie Rae is the most incredibly caterer we have ever worked with! All of our guests noted that our wedding food was the best they have ever had! She uses high quality and local ingredients, customizes menu options based on your wants, and has amazing aesthetic! Not only was the food delicious, but Chef Bonnie and her staff go above and beyond when it comes to professionalism and care for their clients! Chef Bonnie has now become a friend of our families and we are beyond grateful to have her apart of our wedding!!

  Best Meal of Our Life (So Far) for the Best Day of Our Life (So Far)

  Bonnie was absolutely superb in understanding what we wanted. She was super respectful of our love and what we were going for, was clear about what she needed on the big day, and was overall a joy to work with amidst SO many coordinations! The meal was a knockout. Bonnie has a superb gift in her pairings, too, that made for a stunning and intimate meal that our families will remember our entire lives! Thank you, Bonnie!

  Aaron Stanton (Groom)

  Our entire experience with Chef Bonnie can be summarized in one word, “Fantastic!” From our first phone call to tying up loose ends after the wedding she was responsive, organized, and just a genuinely nice and lovely person. And on top of that the food was some of the best I’ve ever eaten! We really wanted to have food at our wedding that was more than the typical catered wedding food and Chef Bonnie delivered and then some. She helped us craft a menu that felt like our kind of food and didn’t box us in to a pre-selected list of options. She did a tasting for us where she made everything in front of us and the night of the wedding the kitchen turned out the same food she had made for us but for 125 people without any loss of flavor or quality. It was amazing! I’d recommend her to anyone and everyone who will listen. She was amazing and we could not be happier that she was there to cook for us on our special day.

  Absolute Perfection

  Where do we begin? Chef Bonnie was an absolute dream vendor and provided top-quality service for our wedding. From the initial phone call, to the planning process, to the final meal, we were continually blown away with her professionalism, expertise, and skill as a chef. A week after our event and our family is still talking about the meal. She is not only an amazing chef, but a kind and thoughtful person. Her down-to-earth nature made us feel so comfortable and stress free. We can't wait to hire Chef Bonnie again for our next event!!!

  If you’re looking for the best, Chef Bonnie is your only choice.

  My partner and I hired Bonnie for our smallish wedding (~50 people) back in the fall and the food was absolutely incredible! Our guests raved about the canapes that she created for our cocktail hour, which included the sweet corn cakes, mini tacos, and the tuna poke tostadas (among other things that were equally delicious). She also had an awesome grazing platter with lots of delish cheeses and meats! Her dinner menu was also amazing and included great veggie and non-veggie options. I had the duck leg and my wife had the beef tenderloin and it was TO. DIE. FOR. Such complex flavors and everything tasted so fresh and unlike anything I had had before (definitely nothing like I had had at a wedding before). Everything was perfectly cooked! While the food is the thing I want to rave about the most, I also have to comment on Bonnie's professionalism. She was incredibly responsive to all of our questions and was very organized. This makes a huge and important part of every wedding (the FOOD!) much less of a headache. I can't recommend her enough; my standards for wedding food are MUCH higher now! Our friends are still raving about the food!

  SO WORTH IT! Love supporting a female chef with EPIC food!

  I LOVED Chef Bonnie! Her and her team made delicious food, had a great/professional attitude and really set the tone for a wonderful evening. Throughout our entire planning process she was very communicative (often responding to my late-night inquiries right away!) and super helpful. We decided to have a super small, 15 person wedding and she basically filled in as our day-of wedding planner (in addition to making epic food), making sure every detail was taken care of. Amazing!
  
  Not only that, but her food is epic. I love supporting female chefs/female-run businesses and her food was unbelievable...like fine-dining quality with gorgeous plating and wonderful flavors. She is really easy to be around and often chatted with us as we walked in and out of the kitchen. Her attention to detail is superb.
  
  Basically I love Chef Bonnie! Hire her ASAP and you will not regret it!

  AMAZING! Wonderful food, super professional! Would hire again!

  Bonnie and her team were AMAZING and so easy to work with! We had so many changes to our wedding because of COVID and she was super flexible, while maintaining our vision for our day.
  
  Her food was UNREAL. I had heard her food was incredible (I knew another friend who worked with her for a different event), but I was BLOWN AWAY. We did cocktail hour appetizers, a plated dinner and late-night snacks that were super flavorful and beautifully presented. The guests were SO impressed.
  
  I would 110% recommend her to any bride/groom looking for a stellar caterer!
