MadeByRK (Renee) is an exceptional private chef who exceeded all expectations of our family-style 75 person wedding reception. We were impressed by the pre-event coordination and c...
are shared to ensure a good plan. Renee's hired staff was professional and made our guests comfortable with their food and beverage services. Renee & staff competently served passed appetizers and a fully tailored hot meal. The dinner was outstanding and really enjoyed by all. One guest, 75 years of age, said MadeByRK was the best meal ever served at a wedding. Our meal was atypical compared to what many weddings serve, Renne's care made our reception truly feel like an intimate family dinner party. My wife and I will hire Renee again in the years to come. We truly are lucky to have found and hired Renee; she knows what she is doing.
MadeByRk is amazing! We were recently married after several years of postponements due to Covid and the loss of some family members…it was a tough time for us. Throughout it all, R...
enée was with us every step of the way during all the ups and downs. She was kind, flexible and very supportive. It really is a testament to how much she cares about her clients. Not only did we find an amazing level of service with MadeByRk, but we experienced a true partnership and friendship as well. When the happy day finally arrived, Renée and her team made us feel so comfortable and at ease (even helping calm a mini meltdown with a much needed hug and alleviating any and all Covid concerns). She helped coordinate everything, including seating charts (she even measured the venue to make sure all the tables and chairs would fit), day of stationery, making sure our vibe and theme came through and bespoke food stations with the most pleasant and thoughtful attendants. The food was great, especially the cake and desserts (her buttercream frosted chocolate cake is heavenly and she made these adorable themed cookies just for us). In addition she provided beautiful decorations and flower arrangements, which they set up throughout the whole venue, as well as setting up a lovely champagne toast for us. Then she came back the next day to even help further for all post-event necessities and clean up (including preserving the top of our wedding cake for our anniversary). We can’t say enough about her and her team. They made the best day of our life even that much better. MadebyRK has our heartfelt appreciation for everything. Truly one of a kind! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

ntly catered a fundraiser for our non-profit and provided all of the refreshments, plus loaned us everything we needed for the buffet presentation and table settings...it was beautiful and our donors had a wonderful time.
We loved working with Renee. She catered our daughter’s bat mitzvah kiddush and did everything from decorating the tables with exquisite details to making the delicious food that ...
she displayed beautifully. She’s professional and efficient and yet also kind and easy going to work with. She was able to shift gears to accommodate specific needs of our guests. She was a pure pleasure to work with. We also hired Renée as a personal chef on two other occasions and had a great cooking experience for our children.
