Deluxe Event Planning

When your guests are wooing over your caterers and asking how they can hire them for their next event, I think that speaks volumes. Chef Val and June could not have been more accommodating and professional. More importantly, the food was spot on. We had guests ranging in age from 3 months to 75 years old. The menu we settled on hit on all cylinders for everyone. We have our go-to with Deluxe for all our future events. Thanks again!

Have you ever had a lasagna cupcake? Well, my guests did at my function, thanks to Chef Val. Who would have thought a delicious entry could be served as a delectable hor d'oeuvre? The lasagna cupcakes were all the talk among my guests; the verdict was - the lasagna cupcakes were delicious and creative. That is the type of extraordinary service Chef Val provided for my function. Chef Val took the time to develop a customized menu with signature selections to compliment the theme for my function. She and her staff were punctual, courteous, and friendly. The food was delicious. Deluxe event planning comes highly recommended. Chef Val, I can not thank you enough!

Sorry for the late review. My event was four days ago and chef about was absolutely great. Everyone enjoyed the omelette station. She was very professional. I would definitely recommend her for another event.

i booked chef val for my daughters first birthday party 2 weeks ago. the venue was just an outdoor area of a community center . we rented a tent, nothing fancy so figured we would have some nice bbq food. we did a tasting at my house( she was nice enough to come). we sampled the burgers , hot dogs and some chicken and sides. it was a great deal, at about $10 a person for a burger, hot dog, chicken and 6 sides. we though the food was great.
the day of the event she arrived as planned with her 2 assistants (nieces). they were all very cordial. she began setting up and cooking some of the food there. People were helping themselves to the food but then i started to hear comments. Me or my husband had not eaten since we were busy entertaining. we realized why the complaints. the burgers seemed very thin and not even beef. later she confirmed they were beef but half of the burgers were a different brand than we sampled. she said they were lower in fat. i replied that the fat content didn't matter, we had agreed on a particular type of burger. the other patty seemed very thin and did not have a very good taste. the sides were just there. the chicken that we sampled were actual chicken pieces but we received just bony chicken wings. we would have paid extra for real chicken. mind you, i know this was just a kid bday party, i am so not hard to please and know that we werent expecting fancy cuts of beef. but i just kept hearing complaints during party and for days after. everything else was so beautiful. i feel so sad that it did not turn out the way i wanted. i would have liked an explanation of why the switch in food but she never replied. i ended the discussion with saying she has a great business manner and personality but the food needs to match her demeanor.

Chef Val's and her staff's dedication to making my daughter's sweet 16 a success was superior. She has now gained a "forever client." Thank you Val!
