    So many compliments

    Chef Brothers did an amazing job catering our wedding. Kendra was our event coordinator and ensured everything would be perfect. And it was! She made sure everything was perfection, down to the size of the table cloths. The food was fantastic and our guest are still talking about how good it was.

    Above & Beyond Catering

    We didn't hire the caterer until 3 weeks before the wedding due to various circumstances of one cancelling on us and another with lack of communication. Last minute, a friend told me about Chef Brothers. I reached out and immediately had a call back and we set the ball rolling. Victor was incredible to work with nailing down details. On wedding day, two vans arrived right on time and began set up for dinner and appetizers. The bartender was awesome and jumped right behind the bar getting things ready. I didn't have to worry about anything at all. The staff that came to work were all just amazing! They made sure that guests had drinks with dinner, they cleared tables, they poured champagne right when we needed it. They were on point. The food was fantastic, people are still talking about it. At the end of the night, we had a to go container to take with us. I would definitely recommend Chef Brothers to anyone needing a caterer!

    Delicious and delightful

    The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone said you don’t normally eat at your wedding but we had someone personally make our plates for us(we had chosen a buffet) and they even boxed up the leftover food for us which was a blessing since we didn’t have any food at the house we were able to eat the leftovers for the week, and it was just as delicious every single day. Chef brothers is kind, considerate, polite, flexible, and they went above and beyond to do what we needed.

    Great Food! Amazing Service!

    We looked at numerous caterers in Gainesville and Jacksonville prior to hearing about Chef Brothers Catering and I'm very glad we held off on making a decision until then. Chef Brothers was absolutely amazing! Kayleigh, their event coordinator, was very responsive to our emails and beyond helpful. They even held a group tasting, allowing us to try out almost their entire menu prior to making a decision.
    Not only was their food amazing, I highly recommend their coconut shrimp and my husband loved their Cajun turkey, but they also provided all of the rental items we needed. We were able to get all of our table linens, china, and glassware, as well as several easels from them for a much more reasonable price than if we'd tried going through another company. Overall, I highly recommend them for all of your catering needs.

    Thanks so much for catering our company Christmas party ! The food, decor, staff and service were beyond our expectations.

    People are still talking about our wedding food... 6 weeks later!

    Before I found Chef Brothers I had talked to five other catering companies, but when I first talked to Kayleigh, I knew I found the one! First of all, their tasting was AMAZING, they host all of their upcoming brides and you get to request things to try (as well as all the other brides) so you get to try SO many things off of their menu! They are so accommodating and Kayleigh put up with my million questions without hesitation, she even found me the color table cloths I was searching for and at the cheapest price compared to other vendors. I haven't even mentioned the FOOD... The food at our wedding was SO good, I swear people that were at our wedding are still talking about it. People always say that the bride and groom won't have time to eat, but it was my MISSION to make sure I ate at my wedding because I couldn't wait to eat their food again! The staff was great and everything went smoothly, I highly recommend Chef Brothers for all of your catering needs! Seriously, just check them out first and save yourself some time!

    Hi David - I wanted to thank you and all the staff at Chef Brothers for the dinner. It was perfect, everyone raves and it made life so much easier. I just put this review on an online Facebook page, but if you’d like to use it anywhere else, or ask me to post it elsewhere, I’m happy to do so. If you’d like, feel free to use my name, or Margaret H., or anonymous.

    “I want to share the fabulous experience I had with Chef Brothers Catering. They seamlessly handled a catered dinner for my parents 60th anniversary this past weekend. We normally do our own cooking but we had too many other commitments, so at the last minute I called Chef Brothers, and it was perfect in every way. The food was excellent, the service was gracious and extremely responsive, the quantities were way more than expected, and the price was probably less than we’d have paid for that amount of food bought and cooked ourselves. I recommend Chef Brothers highly and will absolutely use them again. A+!”

    Thanks so much!

    Chef Brothers has some of the BEST food I have had from a caterer! Kayleigh helped us from day one. We were able to attend a few tastings to narrow down the menu for the wedding reception. She is very experienced in this business and had some great ideas to help us along the way. The team at Chef Brothers are incredibly kind and give great service. You're not just getting a caterer, you are getting people that want to do all they can to assure your event is everything you want it to be!

    Every part of our experience with Chef Brothers was perfect! They catered our wedding of about 170 guests. Everyone I talked to after the fact said the food was amazing! The day of the reception they were there early and had all the tables set up just right! The staff for the event was so nice and helpful! They were so easy to work with before and during the event. If I needed something or had a question I just called and had an answer right away. Chef Brothers was all around great! Thank you! Jon and Susan

    From our first tasting we had we knew any food served was going to be delicious. There were so many choices and yet we were able to adjust to our taste.
    The set up, the servers , the whole total package was wonderful. Our guest had a great time and they truly kept mentioning the food. We didn't have a lot of leftovers because people kept going back!
    The whole table set up was worth it as well. Not having to worry about rentals was wonderful. They took care of it all.
    The quality and service on all aspects were wonderful. Denise did a great job and I made a friend out of it!

    Chef Brothers was wonderful and really made our reception amazing! I had absolutely no idea what I was doing during wedding planning, and Kayleigh was patient and incredibly helpful. They took care of setting up my centerpieces, guest book, name place cards and more. The day of, the staff were professional and accommodating. They were amazingly affordable too, and everyone was raving about how good the food was. I couldn't imagine another caterer for my wedding day!

    AMAZING! MADE THE NIGHT PERFECT!

    Where to start with how satisfied we are with Chef Brothers and Ms. Denise,
    Ms. Denise was simply put amazing; she was professional, caring, intuitive, and for lack of a better word outstanding!
    We would have been lost with out her guidance and truly put our minds and fears at ease.
    The food and staff of Chef Brothers was professional and courteous the entire night.
    The food was delicious and the talk of the wedding even till today.
    We are beyond grateful for Ms. Denise and Chef Brothers, I cant even imagine our wedding with out them!

    Love Always Brenda and Joseph

    Chef Brothers is awesome! From the wait staff, to the food, to the professionalism they used when setting up and breaking down. They are truly top notch! On a personal note, Kayleigh from Chef Brothers went above and beyond decorating the area for my wedding reception. She attended to every little detail with the attention I imagine she would have given her own wedding. I can't thank her enough. I highly recommend this vendor!!

    Food selection was fantastic and tasting event very helpful for selecting our menu. Food was excellent and reasonably priced considering all that was included. Worked with my cousin to accommodate her child's strict food allergies. Service was exceptional. Staff efficient, competent, courteous, accommodating, and friendly. Coordinator was hands down wonderful. She made our reception run smoothly and like clockwork while working around our improve schedule as a couple throughout the event. We didn't have to worry about anything or any details. Paying for the upgraded service/serving sets was well worth it. They all really helped to make it a special day filled with happy memories. They have a collection of decorations they make available to you as part of their service. Set up, including reception decorations, and tear down included. Children are at a reduced price. Only really "bad thing" is you have to wait for a tasting even they have every couple of months to try their food. Definitely recommend them.

    Chef Brothers Custom Catering's reply:

    Aww, thanks we loved working with both of you. Sorry about the wait for the tastings, we schedule them every 3 months. The demand is so high that we have found this is what works for our busy catering schedule. Wish you both all of our best!

    I got married out of town (Jacksonville) and on a holiday. I was very happy with the service and professionalism. Denise was so helpful day of in making sure the groom and I always had anything we needed. She was also quick to answer emails and texts. Very happy and food was delicious! Prices were very reasonable. I definitely recommend going to the tasting as it narrowed down what we wanted.

    We hired Chefs Brothers for our 4th of July wedding in Saint Augustine. This team did an amazing job. Our guests can not stop raving about how amazing our food was at our wedding. From the cocktail hour all the way through to the final course, the food was phenomenal. They were incredibly professional and did a fantastic job. They even made a little plate for my husband and me at the end of the night since we barely had any time to eat!

    Denise was amazingly helpful and friendly from the start. The staff at our event was delightful and fun. The food and presentation was better than the tasting. Many of our guests commented that they had never done brunch before, and now, like us, they are making it a regular event. What greater compliment is there? We shared our tradition with our friends and family and now thanks to Chef Brothers they are making it a tradition of their own!

    We really enjoyed all of the great food from Chef Brothers! We opted for a buffet with 3 entrees and a carving station, which I highly recommend. We attended a tasting before officially booking Chef Brothers, which gave us a good idea of the kind of variety of food that they offer. Our guests all told us that they really enjoyed their meals and the staff also made sure that we had plates of food during the reception (and they put together boxes of leftovers for us to take home, just in case we didn't get enough food during the reception). The waiters and bartender were all very sweet and professional and they all assisted with set up and clean up so that the wedding party could relax.

    Denise was very helpful with decorating the space - I gave her a ton of paper lanterns, which she hung up for me so that I didn't have to recruit family and friends for that task. She and her staff also set up the tables and the buffet in a beautiful way and I was very happy with how the reception looked.

    Chef Brothers has quite a few clients, so I recommend booking them early in your planning process. They can get busy, but I think that's a great indicator of the quality of their business. When your event happens, they give it their full attention and make sure that everything runs smoothly.

    Thank Andee and Joe...we enjoyed the intimacy of your wedding. It was obvious the people that shared in your day truly love you both. All of our best!

    I have Celiac and they were so wonderful! They made EVERYTHING gluten free for me, so I wouldn't get sick on my wedding day. Plus, it tasted so good! I will be recommending them to everyone I know.

    Kathryn, Thanks for the kind words.....we were honored to be trusted with your special dietary needs on your big day and are so happy you were satisfied! All our best.
