    Delicious food!

    We used this caterer for our annual office Christmas party. They showed up on time and were very professional and efficient. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the steak and the pulled pork sliders. My guests were very impressed. I highly recommend them.

    Delicious, Flexible and Reliable

    I have utilized ExecChef for multiple events and was always pleased with the quality of the food and the flexibility to meet our needs. I recommend ExecChef wholeheartedly and plan to continue using them into the future!

    Exceeded Expectations!

    I was throwing a retirement party that turned into a surprise wedding for our guests. I had little time to plan and few options. Bill and Chef Were so amazing to work with. They let me customize my menu for my event, provided options and siggestions, kept my secret at the party and the serving staff was perfect for my group.

    The food was perfect! They were professional, helpful and efficient and persinable. I felt like they really cared.

    Thank you for making my event special and for helping me stay within my budget.
    I would highly recommend you to anyone who asked. Dee & Tony

    Our recent beach wedding was wonderful because of this vendor! Mixing Chinese and English speaking cultures would have been impossible if not for the fantastic food choices and the friendliness of these people. Courteous cooks made it all so effortless! I've planned three weddings with seven more to go, and I WILL use this service again. They bent over backwards to help me. The event was perfect and the bride and groom awestruck! What more could a grandmother ask for? MiMi in Dunedin.

    Executive Chef catered our wedding reception in our home for approx 35 people. We had a couple special requests - low country boil and boiled peanuts - which the team delivered on without hesitation. The food, decoration & service was perfect!! We were in such good hands and I can't thank Jessica and her staff enough for all the small, special touches they added that made it such a memorable night for our friends and family! Everything was truly amazing!

    Jessica was so incredibly helpful in designing our menu for our event while staying on budget. The pasta action station was such a huge hit with our guests! The quality of food was so evident, our guests were beyond impressed. Can't wait to plan the next event just so we can eat the food again!

    Jessica and ExecChef Catering provided full service catering and planning for our wedding. Jessica and her team planned and hosted the event perfectly. Jessica covered all the details including even items previously not considered. The team was very professional and very kind. They helped make the evening very enjoyable and memorable. We would highly recommend Jessica and ExecChef for any catering needs.

    Amazing value and food!

    They were super flexible with our needs, very responsive, and the food was fantastic. Several of my guests wanted their contact information for their own events. The only hiccup we experienced was with our schedule on the day - must have been a miscommunication, and we waited for 30 min for them to show up before leaving and letting them get started without us. No harm, no foul, but given the stress of the day, we could have done without the hiccup.

    Do not use! They stole $500 and did nothing!

    DO NOT USE! They completely STOLE $500 from us without providing any food or service! We made the deposit with ExecChef before our wedding and had to reschedule due to COVID-19. We even agreed to their lame excuse that they needed to hold our deposit and raise their prices, without telling us what these new prices would be. As we got close to the rescheduled date, we did not hear back from these crooks for a month. It wasn't until we left our first bad review that they contacted us back begging us to take it down so they wouldn't lose business. We finally heard back with personal excuses, and requested for a new quote with the updated pricing (a month before the wedding). After we received that quote, we asked for changes to be made and for them to resend it with those changes for us to confirm. AGAIN, another 3 weeks went by and we didn't hear back after many calls and emails, and then threats of legal action. We tried to work with them a second time and ExecChef failed to communicate, with money in hand and a wedding days away. We told them that due to their poor communication close to the date, we had no choice but to beg another caterer to fill in. Originally, they agreed to allow the deposit to be used as a credit before the end of the year, which then we decided to ask for a rehearsal dinner. Yet again, they stopped responding. On the phone, Melody said she agreed that she should return our deposit and would talk with her "business partner" to get his permission. That was a month ago, as they are ghosting us again. If you want to play Russian Roulette with your wedding day and hard earned money, go for it, but these people lie, cheat, steal and don't respond! My wife and I leave this review in hopes that another happy couple wouldn't have to go through what we have and that MELODY from EXECCHEF CATERING would do the right thing. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, PLEASE CALL ORANGE BLOSSOM CATERING INSTEAD! They can beat their prices too!

    STOLE $500!!!

    My husband and I were going to use Execchef catering for our wedding. After covid hit, they threatened to raise their prices even after we signed a contract and paid the down payment based on our agreed upon price. Due to Melody’s lack of communication leading up to our wedding day, we decided to go with a different catering company. When we talked to Melody about getting our deposit back, she said it would be hard to return our $500 deposit because they had already spent it on an event other than ours... PLEASE do yourself a favor and save yourself the stress of going with Execchef. It is well worth spending the extra money to go with a professional catering company who you can trust for your wedding day and any event for that matter. Orange Blossom catering was not only very professional and easy to work with, but they were also willing to beat Execchef Catering’s pricing and cater our wedding with only a few weeks notice.

    Flaked on the wedding!

    This company not only stopped responding to calls and emails but took the $500 deposit and never preformed the service. Had to book another caterer for the wedding two weeks before the wedding to ensure that there would be food at the wedding. Still didn’t hear back from these ppl! Awful company to work with! The last conversation with this company was regarding the money back on the deposit in which they said they had already spent the money on another event they catered. So now what? They don’t show any remorse or concern for their reputation. Thank goodness orange blossom catering came thru last minute for us and was able to go above and beyond, even beating execchef prices!

    Just want the $500 back from the deposit seeing no service was ever performed.

    They scammed us out of money without our consent and we’re rude throughout the entire process of planning meals for our wedding. The owner has memory loss issues. Would have never used them if we knew this.

    ExecChef Catering & Cafes's reply:

    As a service to the client, we negotiated the client's order for linen, china, glass and silver with the rental company. It was clearly understood that the client was responsible for payment of the rental charges. The client refused to honor their commitment. After review of the supporting documents, the client's credit card company and bank agreed that the charge was the client's responsibility and approved payment of the disputed charge.
    Based on client and guest commentary to our management and service staff during and after the wedding reception, the clients and their guests were complimentary of the food and service delivered by our company. -Bill Buck
