Highly recommend Chic Chef for wedding catering! We received tons of compliments from our guests on how good the food was (and we agree!). The staff was incredible and ran a smooth operation the whole night, including flipping our ceremony space into dinner and staffing our BYOB bar. The office team was very responsive and easy to work with throughout the planning process, and they were better priced than the other quotes we received.

We cannot recommend The Chic Chef team highly enough! From the very start of the planning process, they were communicative, easy to work with, and incredibly accommodating—especially with dietary restrictions (I'm gluten-free, and they handled that with ease). On the wedding day, the team truly went above and beyond. They made sure we had a plate of appetizers set aside (a small but huge gesture for any busy couple!) and kept our drinks full throughout the night without us even having to ask. We felt completely taken care of. Multiple guests commented on how friendly and professional the staff were, and everyone raved about the food. Even our photographer mentioned that the events manager brought him a plate of appetizers during cocktail hour—a first in his five-plus years of working weddings! The service, the food, and the overall experience were all exceptional. We’re so grateful to The Chic Chef team for helping make our day perfect.

Chic Chef truly exceeded our expectations. Early in our wedding planning process, we had a few tastings with various catering companies, but we felt the most comfortable and taken care of at Chic Chef. We worked with Lucy throughout the whole process and she was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable and said nothing when we requested 3 more tastings after the initial one to finalize everything. Alejandro was the chef during all of our tastings and he was fantastic! They were the only catering company that were flexible enough to make something for us for our cocktail that was not on their menu. Alejandro will work with you on flavors and will make adjustments if requested! On wedding day, all of the food came out warm and delicious. My husband and I thought the food tasted even better than we remembered. During dinner, we saw a lot of empty dinner plates so I think it was safe to say our guests enjoyed everything as well :) We are SO happy we chose Chic Chef as our caterer and we highly recommend them for any couples searching for a trustful company with high quality service. Thank you Chic Chef!

I just wanted to write with a huge thank you to your entire team at Chic Chef! We heard from so many people, including the wedding planner, that this was the most organized and delicious event they ever attended. You were consummate professionals from beginning to end in our wedding experience and we cannot thank you enough. We are so happy to recommend you to others moving forward.

We cannot recommend Chic Chef highly enough! From start to finish, they were incredible—professional, attentive, and truly went above and beyond. The food was outstanding (we’re still getting compliments weeks later—some guests said it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had!).
Special thanks to Lucy for making the planning process stress-free, and to Enrique and the entire staff for their kindness, warmth, and impeccable service on the big day. One guest even shared how thoughtfully a server accommodated her son with autism—it meant the world to her, and to us.
Chic Chef helped make our wedding not just delicious, but unforgettable. We’re so grateful!
