Chef Jesse is fantastic! Im an event planner and needed to lock down many vendors for my client. After communicating with several, Jesse’s communication and responsiveness stood out. We recommended her to our client and booked her for our event. We were NOT disappointed. During our details call with Jesse, it was clear she was dedicated to getting every detail down specifically. On the day of she was punctual and the food looked amazing. If you want a complete professional with reliability, Chef Jesse is your best option. We are already exploring a future event with her now! She will also help you determine your menu. You will not be disappointed!

Jessie and her associate prepared and served an excellent meal exactly as we agreed, including our special request. She professionally plated and served each guest. Everyone complimented the food and the service. I would recommend Jessie to anyone who is planning a special event. One of our dinner guests, with a background in party planning included an impressive review on my choice of menu for this party. I would not hesitate to call on Jessie again.

I hired Chef Jessie to cook a traditional New England clam bake for my birthday party. She was so communicative through the entire process and made my party feel so special. She not only cooked delicious food but her presentation was absolutely stunning. She delivered perfectly on everything I had asked for and I will definitely be hiring her again for my next party!

Chef Jessie did an amazing job for our party! I spent a long time looking for the perfect chef or catering company for our party. Catering companies have little flexibility to customize and other chefs didn’t see right for the job. Food is so crucial at a party and after reading Chef Jessie’s reviews and talking to her I felt confident she was right for the job. I totally made the right decision. She was able to take the menu I suggested and totally elevate it! The food was delicious and the set up was beautiful. Everyone raved about it! I highly recommend Chef Jessie and will definitely use again!

Details: Birthday or anniversary party • Breakfast or brunch • American - casual • Food stations • I'm flexible • Home • Yes, full kitchen • 40 - 49 guests • Standard (basic ingredients)
