Chefella’s Catering did an amazing job on our recent launch party! The table looked AMAZING and the guests all raved about both the very artistic look and the flavor of the meats, jams, cheeses, and chutneys - in fact, her chutney was so tasty guests were asking if she sold it by the jar!

Chefella's provided catering, linens, dinnerware, wait staff, and bar service for our son's and daughter-in-law's rehearsal supper, and they did an excellent job. Working with Ella, Barbara, and their staff was an absolute pleasure. They communicated efficiently with me before hand, helped me with all the details in planning my event, were on time, and extremely kind. In addition, the food was delicious and the wait and bartending servers were professional and very pleasant. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs catering for a special event.

The Chamber used Chefella’s Catering and Events today for our annual planning session, and I can’t say enough good things about the food. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. If you haven’t tried them yet, you’re missing out. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Highly recommend.

Barbara made everything easy to start our wedding catering. She knew everything to ask me and made me comfortable throughout the whole process. She even made sure that all allergies and food choices were done perfectly and with care. The food and service was amazing. Both ladies were fun to talk to and made me feel more at ease. Two thumbs up!!!!! If I get a chance to have another event that requires catering, I definitely will call her and will tell everyone about Chefella's.

We recently had the pleasure of using Chefella's for an event at our store and were very pleased with the service, quality, and overall experience! We ended up choosing the macaroni bar, sandwiches, and desert box. Everyone raved about the food and it helped in making our event a huge success.

Made last minute arrangements to have Chefella's bring out some sandwiches, sides, drinks and dessert for an event of about 20. Price was totally fair and the sandwiches were outstanding. Definitely felt like a catered event for the price of a boxed lunch. Very well done.

Thanks so much Ramon for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate you and your business and so glad we met your expectations.
We look forward to service you again in the future. God Bless!

Chefella's catered our 40 person brunch wedding and they did an incredible job! The food was delicious and everyone was very easy to work with. They made sure I had a vegan option and everything looked beautiful!

Chefella’s handled the catering for my micro-wedding and it couldn’t have gone any smoother. Barbara communicated with me throughout the entire process and was amazing to work with. I used the team for the full-service option and we coordinated linens and all items through them as well. It all turned out beautifully and exactly as I had imagined! The team arrived early to set up and then came back fully staffed to serve our wedding. The food tasted great and Chefella’s did a phenomenal job. I couldn’t recommend them enough! Thank you!!!
Response from the owner · a year ago
Jordan, thank you so much for the kind review. We are so glad you enjoyed our services for your wedding. We can't thank you enough for your business and support. We hope to work with you again in the future! Barbara absolutely loved working with you, and was so happy to read your review! Again, thank you and we appreciate you!
