Welcome Dinner

Crystall was amazing to work with from start to finish. The entire process was seamless. She shared the menu. I sent over my selections and within hours we had a contract to sign. More importantly, the food was incredible!! We hired [them] for our Welcome Dinner the night before our wedding. Everyone was complementing the food all night. We come from a Puerto Rican and Dominican background so it was very important we had good Spanish food and we were so delighted when they agreed to drive to our Venue at The Lake House Inn.

Intimate Vow Renewal

I booked [them] for my vow renewal. It was an intimate ceremony and dinner of about 20 people. I had no idea what I wanted but knew I needed vegan/ pescatarian options in addition to whatever I requested. Crystall was so helpful with suggestions and helping to plan the menu for that day. The food was amazing. People still talk about how great the food was. I will definitely book [them] for another event.

Amazing and TASTY!!!

Crystal and her husband worked hard to provide 200 people with the most delicious Turkey I have ever had! We had rave reviews and asked them to cater another event right after! The food and service did not disappoint and they went above and beyond! They have my highest recommendation for catering events!

Thank you to you and your husband for the delicious food yesterday! The entire family enjoyed it. The jerk was some of the best we had, and the best I ever had! Gianna and I were talking last night and she was raving about your empanadas. Josh said the rice was the way his grandmother made it… Everything was delicious! Continued blessings on the business you and your husband have created!
