    From the moment we first contacted Chef John's Events & Catering, we were impressed by their prompt, complete and detailed communication style. They always offered helpful suggestions to ensure our wedding day was perfect. The quality and quantity of the food they provided was superior, and the value far exceeded the price. Chef Jeannette and her team were a pleasure to work with, as they accommodated guests with severe allergies and dietary requirements, ensuring a safe and delicious experience for everyone. Additionally, they left the kitchen area spotless after the event, despite catering the wedding at a friend's home. I had experienced Chef Jeannette's delicious food at several corporate events prior to my wedding, so I knew I wanted to use Chef John's Catering. They made the planning and preparation so much easier, and were willing to work with us on our budget and specific requests. We couldn't have been happier with their exceptional service and incredible food.

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!

    My husband and I used SanTan to cater our wedding across the street at SoHo63. We also brought the party over for a late night after party immediately following the wedding. Our wedding food was AMAZING, we received so many compliments and our family and friends are still talking about it. The staff they sent truly couldn't have done a better job. Billy was assigned to personally take care of my husband and I. Completely serious... he walked down the street and to the parking garage during our cocktail hour to make sure we got to enjoy our appetizers and had something to drink while taking photos. He was so very kind and professional yet so much fun. He made us feel like family and so special! Our after party had amazing food and was such a chill and easy going vibe to end the night with all our favorite people. We cannot recommend SanTan enough!

    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.
