The whole team at What the Chef is absolutely amazing. Their food is to die for and everyone you encounter is outgoing, friendly, and they obviously take pride in their work! Our tasting was so relaxed and they made us feel right at home. Then on our wedding day, they absolutely knocked it out of the park! All of our guests were raving about the food immediately, but we also got a lot of texts throughout the following week with people loving the food at our wedding! Everything was absolutely delicious, even the chef himself was at our wedding - he personally prepared our plates and later came out and said hi to not only us but our guests as well. We really felt like part of their family! 10/10, highly recommend and can't say enough good things about this fantastic team!
This caterer is THE BEST! They worked within my budget, helped create a menu we wanted and were easy to communicate with. We ended up making changes and additions and they fully accommodated me wonderfully. Everyone had their favorites on the menu....add the soft cookies!! AMAZING! (We still talk about the cookies!) They were professional, prepared, efficient and willing to help the day of my daughter’s wedding. But the best part was their caring compassionate concern for how I was (mother of the bride) that day. They stayed all the way to the end and cleaned up everything and personally came to me when they left. I honestly didn’t even know they were still there because they were never in the way. I was pleasantly surprised that they personally said goodbye. I had no recommendations from anyone about this caterer so I was taking a big risk. But boy did they deliver! I would use them in a heartbeat again and I highly recommend them!!
