We had a destination wedding & then a backyard party to celebrate with those who weren’t able to join. Chef by Request catered for us and our guests all loved the food! The quantities were quite generous. Also, the ordering, delivery & set up process was all seamless! I would definitely use them again!
From beginning to end it was easy to deal with CBR. Amanda was extremely helpful in deciding the menu. The food was delious and everyone commented on how good it was. The event was made better because of the delious food. Thank you CBR for helping to make my event such a happy and delious event
Not only did everyone rave about the food, the service was above & beyond. The staff made me a plate during cocktail hour, and by the end of the night were having inside jokes with the wedding party. Amanda and her team worked with us on our fully vegan menu (we had multiple guests ask if it was meat!) and helped us in our budget. Cannot recommend enough!
This was the first time we have used Chef By Request, and were very pleased. Amanda was responsive through textings to our questions, and she had good recommendations. The preset menu options offered a good variety, and everybody raved about the food. We were also very pleased with the service set up — arrived on time, and set everything out perfectly. We would definitely use them again.
Chef by Request catered our wedding at The Wandering Tree Estate and the food was absolutely incredible, hands down one of the best parts of our day. Every course was beautifully prepared and full of flavor, and so many of our guests came up to us specifically to rave about the meal. The team was professional and attentive. They worked seamlessly with the venue and made the whole experience feel effortless on our end. Amanda was also very helpful and coordinating all of this via email. My only feedback is that phone calls can make the back and forth emailing much easier, especially as a first time bride who doesn't know much about catering for events, it would have made things even more seamless to have someone explain to me on the phone versus emailing for months.
The food for my daughter‘s bridal shower was wonderful and attracted many compliments. The service on the day was excellent and the company is very professionally managed. Communication was prompt and clear. Highly recommended
We had a large outdoor party in our yard. The food, setup and communications were excellent.
I couldnt have been happier with my experience with this company. From initial outreach through our event, just top notch. I cam with a pretty specific menu and they knocked it out of the park for us and our guests. The day of service was impeccable; showed up on tyime, delivered phenomenal food and service, and left the kitchen like they werent even there. Will definitely use again.
Chef by Request was incredible from my first email to the very end of our event. We hosted a 10 person wine dinner at home and Chef Jamie and Server Maddy made it a wonderful evening. They were on time, friendly, efficient, clean, and of course made wonderful food. Having them to cook and serve made it so I could actually enjoy the evening. 10/10 for the entire experience. Will use them over and over again.
We had an incredible experience with Chef by Request this weekend for my baby shower. The food was absolutely delicious, and Cat went truly above and beyond from handling every detail of the beautiful setup to seamlessly attending to guests, keeping drinks refreshed, and making sure everything stayed tidy throughout the event. We’ve worked with them for events of all sizes, and they consistently exceed expectations every single time. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and quality are unmatched. So grateful for such a special experience, thank you for everything!
