There are not enough stars or compliments for Chef Summer and her amazing team. My gratitude goes beyond words my events were beyond perfect. Despite all the challenges that came up like weather, locations, people from the venue Summer and her staff we above and beyond. Just be clear Summer is not only an excellent Chef she handled and oversaw everything decorating set ups, clean up . I do not have enough room to write here all I can say to sum it up is you will not regret it they are perfect.

I hired Chef Summer for a 10-person bachelorette party lunch. Chef Summer rocked it!! She helped curate a dynamic Mexican meal for our Fiesta in Siesta-themed weekend. She and her talented cohort came prepared with a full buffet of food, which was setup quickly and presented beautifully. Even better? The food was delicious and we had leftovers for days! She even made us several rounds of margaritas, so it’s safe to say we enjoyed ourselves. They were fast, efficient and totally professional. Anyone would be lucky to have her cater your special event. Thank you, Chef!

I had the pleasure of hiring and working with Chef Summer. Her team catered a college graduation party at my house for approximately 25 guests. From the first engagement to the end of my event, the service was exceptional! Now lets talk food... not only did she curate a menu to fit my needs & budget, as well as having a bartender...the food was outstanding and beautifully presented! If you have a small dinner party or larger event, Chef Summer is a MUST Hire. I will definitely be utilizing her services for my next event! Thank you Chef!

The Chef Summer was AMAZING!!! My event was everything I imagined it would be. She worked with me several times to create the menu I wanted. She put the extra touch that made it so special. The presentation was fabulous. More importantly, the food was so delicious that my friends and family are still talking about it 2 weeks later. She and her staff were very professional and flexible even when dealing with an unforeseen circumstance at the venue. I cannot say enough about The Chef Summer. I will definitely hire her again! Thank you, Summer and team for an unforgettable afternoon!
