I can't thank Chef Derek enough for his help with our service. Losing a loved one is hard and there are so many things to get done. Derek made the whole process as simple as possible from the beginning to the end....but to arrive at the location and to find the beautiful spread was the best. Everything he made for our reception was superb!! The ingredients were put together with thoughtfulness and tasted amazing! The fruit platter not only included a beautiful selections of organic fruits and berries but also star fruit and passion fruit arranged perfectly. The finger sandwiches were scrumptious!! The hummus and veggie platter was not standard by any means and included purple carrots and a variety of veggies for dipping. The pita bread was not standard at all but tasted as if we were in a Mediterranean restaurant. I'm glad I requested pickles to go with the sandwiched because his house made dill slices are to die for. The cookie platter was delicious and the lemonade really hit the spot. Thank you Chef for helping us during a very difficult time by making this part of the process amazing!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Madison was stupendous in her quick and concise communication with us. Between getting extra boxed meals to enjoy on our honeymoon to last minute seating changes due to guests unexpectedly not attending she handled it all! The chef who designed the menu truly LOVES what he does and it is reflected in the delicious flavors of all the food. Then the on site chef was also AMAZING day of as she handled everything timely and held true to vision. The on site team members were all SUPER STARS and such sweet kind souls ❤️ to all future brides planning their big day: choosing Flavor Chef means one less worry or headache! Everything was flawless in execution, taste, and presentation!

I had such an amazing experience working with Flavor Chef's team at the Flower Fields this weekend! Joey was the lead and such a pleasure to work with!! As a vendor, it is amazing having partners that will work together with you to make the experience perfect for the client. His team members Dakota, Martin and Meghan and Heidi were amazing support as well. Can't wait to work with this team again :)

We could not be happier with our wedding caterer . From the very start, they were attentive and always seemed to be one step ahead of schedule. It made the entire day feel smooth and stress-free. Our guests are still talking about the chicken—it was perfectly juicy and full of flavor. What really impressed us, though, was the level of detail that Derrick, Joey and their team took care of. Many caterers would have charged extra for those things, but they included them without hesitation, making sure everything looked and felt just right. Their professionalism, care, and dedication truly helped make our wedding day PERFECT. My wife and I are so grateful for their hard work and heart. If you want a caterer who not only delivers delicious food but also goes above and beyond to make your day special, this is the team to choose.

We love Flavor Chef and Crystal!!! The food was INCREDIBLE!!! All of our guests -- including our vegan guests -- raved about the food and complimented us the day of and texted us afterward. It was mind-blowing. We had a huge charcuterie board for our cocktail hour and crab cakes, chicken and waffles, and poke crisps. For dinner, we had stations where they carved steak and flambed shrimp in front of our guests. For dessert, we had tiramisu cups, churros in a cup, and lemon bars. Everything was so, so good. Crystal was a breeze to work with, and managed everything so well the day of our wedding and the months leading up to it. She took care of every issue that popped up, and got us connected with our rental company as well. I wish we could eat at Flavor Chef restaurant every weekend!
