    Working with Chef John's Events & Catering for the Arizona Yacht Club's annual Birthday Regatta was a fantastic experience. Their communication throughout the planning process was prompt, complete, and informative, making the event organization a breeze. The quality of their work was exceptional - the food they served was delicious, plentiful, and an incredible value. They kept the food line moving efficiently and the serving stations spotless, ensuring our 150 hungry guests were well-fed after a long day of sailing. I highly recommend Chef John's Events & Catering for any special event.

    From the moment we first contacted Chef John's Events & Catering, we were impressed by their prompt, complete and detailed communication style. They always offered helpful suggestions to ensure our wedding day was perfect. The quality and quantity of the food they provided was superior, and the value far exceeded the price. Chef Jeannette and her team were a pleasure to work with, as they accommodated guests with severe allergies and dietary requirements, ensuring a safe and delicious experience for everyone. Additionally, they left the kitchen area spotless after the event, despite catering the wedding at a friend's home. I had experienced Chef Jeannette's delicious food at several corporate events prior to my wedding, so I knew I wanted to use Chef John's Catering. They made the planning and preparation so much easier, and were willing to work with us on our budget and specific requests. We couldn't have been happier with their exceptional service and incredible food.

    Chef John's Events & Catering was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our initial conversations, they were incredibly patient, detailed, and helpful in answering all of our questions and walking us through the planning process. On the day of, the team was efficient, delivered delicious food, and remained adaptive to our needs - they even brought my husband and I our plates first so we could enjoy our meal, and cut and packaged up the leftovers and top tier for us. Their attentive service and high-quality work truly contributed to making our special day so memorable. I would highly recommend Chef John's to any couple planning their wedding.

    Chef Jeannette of Chef John's Catering is great to work with and can customize a menu to satisfy any taste. Her food is fresh made - never frozen, boxed or reheated. If you want Italian - she can do it, if you want authentic German - she can do it. Whether you need a casual style taco buffet or a forma sit down dinner Chef John's can handle it. Chef John's is as comfortable doing an intimate in-home dinner for 2 as a casual buffet for 4,000 of your closest friends! From beautiful charcuterie displays to yummy desserts Chef John's provides excellent service and quality for a reasonable cost.
