    We’ve used food first events & catering three times now. The level of detail, service, and food is outstanding from begging to the end. These guys are pros. We even trusted them with our wedding. I wouldn’t do it any other way. They go above and beyond with helping with all the details of events to ensure the customer has an excellent time. Innovative ways of accommodating us and coming up with great ideas where all of our guests were amazed. The food is top notch quality. They accommodated diverse requests. For example, surf and turf, to vegan, and our last event, which was Thai. All were outstanding, think Michelin star quality. They are very kind and take all of our needs in to consideration. They have great ideas on how to make an incredible event thats creates life long memories. These guys are the best! They even did my sisters wedding.

    My husband and I have hired chef David a couple times before our wedding ceremony, July 2nd, 2022. We knew we wanted specialty foods and great food and we knew David and Molly would deliver, no questions asked! The food was a variety of appetizers and desserts, and the team knocked it our of the park! The celebration would not have been so wonderful without all the delicious foods they made for us, crispy Brussels sprout boats, mini quiche, homemade meatballs, mini sausage rolls, and my favorite, the Moroccan lamb burgers!!!!!! And not to mention the desserts, fairy cakes, profiteroles, yummy!!!! And so much more!!!! Their hard work, dedication, efficiency and a great eye for details... we will definitely hire them again and again, worth every penny!!!! We love you David and Molly and thank you for being apart of our special day!!!!!
