  • Tessa was AMAZING

    Tessa was so amazing from the beginning. She's so sweet and answered all of my questions in detail, then turned around and worked with my mom answering all her questions with a smile. She catered to my budget and made sure I got everything I wanted. She even stayed on the day of my wedding to make sure everything was set up perfectly! All in all I would absolutely hire her again and again!

    Everything about my experience was amazing, Chef Tessa was very quick to respond to me during the months leading up to my wedding. Was very helpful in the process of deciding what food I was choosing and how much as well! The food was phenomenal, we got the lasagna and roast beef and I highly recommend these, every single guest LOVED it and lots of people got seconds. We had a seated meal and the waiters were amazing as well, they all came to check on us several times, refilling drinks, bringing more food and were so friendly. Would totally recommend to book her and would book again for any other event!
