Chef Exclusive Catering

For years we have depended upon Air Chef reliability. They have consistently performed without exception. Their food is good and our passengers are happy. That is the name of the game. Allen - Advanced Jets

I will say that the end result at our actual wedding reception was wonderful...just getting to that was an issue. The buisness coordinator was very unorganized, I often had to ask her for invoices and prices 2-3x's before recieving it..and it was usually wrong when she did get back to me. Any time I called or she called, she acted like it was inconvienent. When we had our final meeting at the venue- which she had been to several times- she did not take any notes because there was "no where to plug her computer in." I then received an email a few days later asking many of the questions I already answered. She often didn't know answers to questions, and would need to check with the chef, and get back to me at least a week later. Tasting and meeting the chef went very well- very kind and creative man. The food was wonderful for the reception, and dinner service was EXCELLANT.

We had Chef Exclusive cater our wedding on Oct 15, 2011 at the Ribbon Mill. From the very beginning they were wonderful to work with. They knew that we were on a budget, so they were careful to try to work with us to give us an insanely great meal for what we wanted to spend. We wanted to do a Spanish theme (as we both love Spanish food), and they instantly were excited with us, and Chef came up with some great menu items for the buffet. He actually came to our house to do our tasting, which was a lot of fun. Julie was incredibly helpful, coordinating all of our rental items and recommending vendors for any other items that we needed. In the end, the food and display was wonderful. We have had tons of compliments, with people just gushing about how delicious the food was. We also had Chef Exclusive cater our rehearsal dinner at The Pretzel Spot (the lunch spot below the Ribbon Mill). For that they did an Italian theme, and everyone was just wowed by the delicious meal and desserts. I would definitely recommend Chef Exclusive for any catering needs that you might have!

We used Chef Exclusive for our August 13, 2011, wedding at the Ribbon Mill. Chef White and Julie were absolutely wonderful to work with and the food was delicious. We envisioned having a local, organic, eco-friendly wedding, but struggled to find a vendor that was willing to work with us to make this happen…until we stumbled across Chef Exclusive. Not only did Chef White help us bring our vision to reality, he suggested wonderful menu items and ensured everything served was from Central Pennsylvania. We planned our wedding from afar, yet Julie made the process incredibly easy. She was flexible and able to meet with us each of the few times we were in town, and regularly scheduled phone conversations to touch base. She also arranged all of our rental items, which was a huge help! Chef Exclusive helped make our wedding perfectly, uniquely “us” and we feel so fortunate to have worked with them. Numerous people commented to us how wonderful the food was, but two, in particular, were of note. Two guests who regularly attend fundraising functions for work purposes separately commented to us how it was the best catered chicken dinner they'd ever had. Given the number of catered meals they regularly eat, this comment was particularly impressive! Here’s our delicious menu: HORS D'OEUVRES: A display of local Amish cheeses and meats, paired with homemade bread. PRETZEL BREAD STICKS: These pretzels were handmade in this very building by Beiler’s Pretzel Company. ORGANIC MIXED GREENS SALAD: A playful mix of greens, cucumbers, crisp apples, and goat cheese – all from Pennsylvania. The greens are from Spiral Path Farm in Loysville, the apples are from Peter’s Orchard in Gardners, the cheese is from an Amish dairy in Newville, and the veggies were bought this morning at the Shippensburg Farm Auction. ORGANIC GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST: A free range, organic chicken breast topped with apple-onion chutney and served with garlic roasted red bliss potatoes and a ratatouille with seasonal vegetables. The chicken is from Eberly Poultry in Stevens, Pennsylvania, and all of the vegetables and apples came from Shippensburg and Peter’s Orchard.
