Kurt and staff...We wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our entire experience with you and Chesapeake Chefs! From the tasting to the actual event, we couldn't have been more pleased with your staff and the food for our daughter's wedding. The quality of food was exceptional, and we received so many compliments on everything. The guests were still raving about the meal and hors d'oeuvres the next morning. Your staff was so friendly and helpful, as well as efficient. They helped make our event a success! Thank you again for everything, we were blessed to have you and your staff as a part of this special time for our family! P.S. The Father of the Bride was thrilled to have his own personal supply of focaccia bread! You made him very happy! :)

Ricky and Javier were amazing. They took care of everything, were extremely attentive, the food was phenomenal, and the service was fantastic. We had 3 active and young children, and they made sure that they were happy and fed as well. The spread looked and tasted wonderful, and they made our wedding day very special with a perfect meal and experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They left the kitchen cleaner than it was when they came in. They disinfected everything, they kept masks on, kept distance, and made us feel safe and comfortable with them there. Getting the menu set with Kurt was so easy, and his thought and creativity with the menu made the whole experience top notch. It made our 2020 wedding feel all the more special. Thank you Chesapeake Chef Service!

These guys are fabulous. We ended up hiring them for a small, family reception at Brampton Inn when our original wedding reception was postponed because of Covid. They put together an incredible feast for us at a very reasonable rate. They do really creative things in the kitchen, and all of it was fresh and delicious. Their serving staff were amazing, so helpful and thoughtful. They are also super easy to work with. No fuss, no stress, just reliably excellent. The food is locally sourced. Excellent bar service as well. Highly recommend! Go with these guys!
