It was an absolutely perfect day for an outdoor wedding at the end of August at the Hermitage Museum and Gardens and the catering served by Chef by Design was the icing on the cake. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and flavorful, and our guests are still talking about it. Many are saying it is the best wedding they have ever been to. The staff were all so nice, friendly, professional, attentive, and organized, making the entire experience seamless from start to finish. Every detail was handled with care, and the service exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Chef by Design for anyone looking for exceptional wedding catering. Thank you Josie!!
Chef By Design was amazing to work with for our wedding! Emily and Josie were great and made the whole process smooth and stress free. The food was delicious and we received so many compliments on it from all of our guests! Highly recommend!!
One of the first vendors we booked for our wedding (almost immediately) was Chef by Design. I have been lucky enough to experience multiple events that they have catered and they just keep getting better. Not just the food but everyone who works there is phenomenal and incredibly attentive. Need to give an extra special shoutout to Emily and Josie because they both worked so hard to make sure that our vision was met through planning, everything leading up to the day, and the day of. The food was incredible as well. Any allergies or dietary restrictions were taken care of very carefully. Our wedding was just over a month ago and I keep getting messages from friends and family raving about how great the food was. Looking forward to the next time I get to be at an event that they are catering.
I was able to work with Kellyn from Chef by Design to bring our wedding vision to life. Kellyn was super patient with me and my husband as we discussed how to provide the best service and experience while also staying within a reasonable budget. Throughout all of our correspondence by email and phone, Kellyn was professional, warm, and passionate about providing us with exactly what we wanted. Our guests raved about the food, and we were extremely pleased with Kellyn's team as the day went off without a hitch. We went with a buffet style dinner, and we were very impressed at how much food there was and the quality of it all. They even sent us home with a lot of leftovers that we enjoyed the next few days! The cake and cupcakes were also amazing and decorated pretty much exactly like the picture I had sent. Kellyn worked really hard to give us the best experience, which was made even more impressive by her having to hand off our project so she could have her baby! The event producer (Denise) in Kellyn's place was outstanding, and everyone was really easy to work with. Highly recommend Chef by Design; you get what you paid for!
Chef by Design was so great to work with for my wedding!! We had the pleasure of working with Kellyn during our planning process and she was professional, nice, helpful, and quick to respond. Kellyn and her team made the planning process so easy and day of was so smooth and amazing. Their food display looked so great (not just in boring silver chafers), their staff was SO nice and quick day of. Their bartenders were so attentive and always made sure my husband and I had a drink in our hand while also making sure our guests had what they needed. I have had many friends tell me it was the best wedding food they have had!! I 100% recommend having Chef By Design for your wedding or any of your other catering needs!!!
