We had the opportunity to do a tasting, and the food was perfection — everything was delicious and made us even more excited for our wedding day! Richard has also gone above and beyond just catering. He has become one of our main go-to people for the wedding and will essentially be helping coordinate things on the day as well.

Fresh From The Kitchen 
Rating: 4.7 (6 reviews)
  • Serves Gilbert, AZ

Fresh From The Kitchen catering is a woman owned, chef driven, minority owned company offering full service catering for weddings, social, and corporate events. Emphasis on natural, high quality ingredients, ‘a taste of perfection!’ is the company motto and is the ideology behind the passion. We use minimally processed fresh food, USDA hormone and antibiotic free meats, locally sourced produce and goods when possible, and as much organic and always all natural ingredients too.

If you want your guests to walk away from your wedding raving about how much fun they had and the delicious food, then look no further than Fresh from the Kitchen! We worked with Noelle and her team to cater a cocktail hour and seated dinner for our 100 person wedding at the Desert Botanical Garden and could not be happier with how everything turned out. As soon as we reached out, Noelle and her team were so friendly and easy to work with. The tasting was easy to set up and was actually so much fun! We were able to go over our vision for the wedding and the many food allergies and considerations we wanted to accommodate. They took everything in stride and helped us come up with a delicious menu that met everyone's dietary needs and met our foodie vision! The filet was honestly one of the best we have ever had and we still talk about it today. When the big day came around, Noelle and her team checked in two weeks before to confirm the final guest count, adjusted the menu for final requests, met us in person for the venue walk through to go over the set up of everything (we got our rentals through them too—highly recommend!), and answer our final questions. Our actual wedding day went off without issue and everyone was raving about the food! In fact, one of our guests was so impressed, they ate the dinner of someone who couldn't make it at the last minute and said it was just as delicious! We truly cannot thank Noelle and her team enough for helping make our day so special. Make sure to book them to make your special day unforgettable—you won't regret it!

Chef Anna Masteller 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Gilbert, AZ

Chef Anna, a Carmel-by-the-Sea native, began her career as a celebrity private chef while attending culinary school in San Francisco. Her classical training was complemented by deep nutritional education at The Esalen Institute and the Hippocrates Health Institute. As a sought-after wellness retreat chef and wedding chef, Chef Anna has traveled extensively across the United States and internationally. Her home base is Figure Eight Island, NC. A true hospitality professional, Chef Anna received the Michelin Key award in 2024 and 2025.

We called Chef Anna “the Zen Chef” because she radiated calm and warmth every time she cooked or dropped off meals. On our wedding day, she was the one vendor who was fully calm, centered, and confident, an incredibly grounding presence for everyone. We had six meals with her, from the welcome dinner to brunches, reception, and an unforgettable late-night spread. She handled everything; shopping, cooking, cleanup and made us feel deeply cared for as a family during our long wedding weekend on Figure Eight Island, NC. Aside from cooking, which she obviously loves, she said her favorite part of her business is helping people make the most of their time together, and that was absolutely true for us. It felt like we bought the gift of time, which is priceless. And we can’t stop talking about the food. Literally better than any restaurant, truly. As a group of well-traveled foodies, that says a lot. Thank you, Chef Anna, for becoming one of our favorite core memories. We’ve already booked her for our anniversary trip to Wrightsville Beach next year.
