Jeannette was super responsive and easy to work with. She solved all the problems and attended to all my catering needs. Delivery was on time, and the break down was perfect! The chicken piccata was so soft I still find hard to believe. The assorted desserts were definitely a talking point, they sure were assorted (was not even able to try them all!) and so delicious I couldn’t pick a favorite either. My wedding cake was everything I dreamed of! I can’t recommend chef johns more, and it sure was one of the best investments of my wedding.

SanTan Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Payson, AZ

We pride ourselves on serving fresh, handcrafted foods straight from our kitchen to your mouth. Our goal is to provide a dining experience as unique and special as your event is to you. We offer 2 unique onsite catering spaces with our Brewer's Reserve and SanTan Gardens and partner with multiple venues across the valley. We can also come to you!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about SanTan, period! I was lucky enough to work with them for both my rehearsal dinner and my wedding and would choose them again in a heart beat. Having my wedding out of state and not being familiar with vendors in the area I was lucky enough to work with a venue (The Paseo - also 10/10 recommend), and have the option between SanTan and another awesome catering company. After corresponding via email we flew in for a tasting and everything about SanTan blew us away. I worked directly with Alexa, their catering director, and she was fantastic. She was incredibly organized and helped us work our way through the options, narrow down what we wanted to try and ultimately pick a menu that we knew we and our guests would love. She answered all of my questions, and there were a lot, and totally put me at ease! During the tasting we loved the food and the vibe of the brewery so much we even decided that it would be the perfect place for our rehearsal dinner! Again, the communication between us and everyone involved at SanTan made both nights flawless! All of my guests could not believe how on top of everything the servers and staff were, and how attentive they were to detail! I had a handful of guests with food allergies and dietary restrictions, and they did not miss a BEAT making sure that my guests were taken care of. As a bride, I can’t tell you how amazing it feels to not have to worry about food and service; because that was so important to me and my hubby! If you are getting married, or looking for someone to cater an event in the greater AZ area (don’t worry they actually make their own kitchen onsite which is insanely cool) you won’t go wrong picking SanTan :) if you’ve already found someone for your catering needs (bummer) at least stop by their brewery in Chandler for a beer and yummy food!

I’m Chef Nisha, owner of Loaded by Nisha, with 9 years of experience in diverse cuisines. I've worked with high-profile clients and was voted a top private chef in AZ , NV, MO & CA Let’s schedule a meeting to discuss!

Loaded By Nisha was absolutely amazing and undescribable. The communication from Chef Nisha and her team was communicative, descriptive and informative from start to finish. On our special day, they made themselves readily available and took care of all of our food needs with care and precision. The chef and her staff came in, set up, and made some of the most memorable and delicious food we have ever had. Nisha's energy is something you would love to have at a wedding after everything is done - you can truly taste the love in the food. We were blown away by the quality of their work and the value they provided. We cannot recommend Loaded By Nisha enough for your wedding or event.

The Crain Experience 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Payson, AZ for additional fees

Welcome. Chef Jason started out in the kitchen at 15 years old as a dishwasher at Red Lobster washing dishes and baking. From there, he worked many cook’s lines until I earned my first chef position under Emeril Lagasse over ten years ago. He's went on to operating casino kitchens, private dining clubs. Since relocating from Atlanta, GA Jason has gained experience in kitchen consulting and new restaurant openings. After 25 years in the industry, He is now starting a new journey into the Private Chef sector. He refers to his style of cooking as Southern Creole cooking, where it’s much more than cooking…it’s about the overall experience.

The Crain Experience was so amazing and easy to work with! Anytime I had questions they were so quick to get back to me. The food was delicious, the drinks were phenomenal, and the staff/bartenders were easygoing, professional, and personable. I could not recommend them more!
