"We had such a lovely time and got so many compliments from our guests that ours was the best wedding they have ever been to. Also, many compliments on the food being 'exceptional,' since it was :) The meat was cooked beautifully!!!! So many people said that they never have been to a wedding where the meat was cooked to perfection. Really, everything was perfect and beautiful. Your WHOLE staff was wonderful, personable, and attentive. VERY sweet people!

"Just a note to let you know how much we appreciate the work that you put in to make our daughter's wedding reception a complete success. The guests were all impressed by the service the Chef By Request staff provided. The food was delicious from the appetizers to the main course to the dessert. We have never heard so many compliments. The chocolate fountain and the fruit palm tree were the talk of the evening besides the food. It was an awesome display. Our guests could not stop talking about the food and how everything was running smoothly. Thanks you again for a superb job. I will definitely recommend Chef By Request to all my friends and relatives. You and the Chef By Request staff are simply the best."
