Chef Deanna

e and her crew are lovely people. We were especially that she provides her own plates, napkins, and silverware, eliminating the need for costly outside rentals.

re deeply about food, Deanna was a dream to work with. She's as wonderful as a human being as is she is an extraordinary chef and caterer; I was blown away by her from our first email correspondences and virtual meetings, and our tasting and wedding day only solidified those feelings even further. Wedding food is often on the safe and boring side — but not Deanna's. Our guests are still raving about how delicious every last item was, from the gorgeous hors d'oeuvres to the incredible dinner. She brings a level of home-cooked elegance to every item she prepares and presents that I've never before encountered at a wedding, or with any catering in general. If you're searching for the perfect caterer for you upstate New York wedding, contact Deanna immediately. Thank you for everything!

ll in love with her food...and then the pandemic hit. We postponed two times, and Chef Deanna was incredibly accommodating throughout it all. In fact -- she supported our decision to postpone (even the second time!) when so many people questioned why we were doing it. Postponing twice was absolutely the right decision, and we had our dream wedding on 4/9/22 of this year. Chef Deanna worked with us to create a menu that was rustic and aligned with our tastes/personalities. We did a barbecue buffet for the main course -- with macaroni and cheese, multiple types of meat, cornbread, etc. -- and a more classic cocktail hour with charcuterie/cheese etc. Everything was delicious. My only regret is that I didn't go up for seconds! In ADDITION to that, Chef Deanna provided her gorgeous vintage plates that were a perfect fit with our venue. This really helped make our planning easier, and added to the beauty of the tables on the day. Everything went seamlessly -- We could not have been happier with Chef Deanna's catering!

g scallops in the appetizers that our guests still can't stop talking about and allowing us to serve Haitian food alongside her menu). Her food is amazing, flavorful and fresh! The meatballs, the mashed potatoes, and the manicotti was divine! Everyone took some extra food home with them! They even set up coffee and tea with our cake for dessert. I have to make a special note to say how beautiful the presentation of her food is (see pictures below). Chef Deanna also provided beautiful vintage dishware and glassware and came with three wonderful, professional waiter/ waitresses. She is not just a wonderful caterer, she adds to the decor and the overall experience of your wedding.
