I have not yet met personally with Daniel, however he was extremely quick to reply to my message and was very eager to being working with me right away.

Daniel is a fantastic chef, his food was delicious, nicely presented, highly customizable and everyone at our wedding enjoyed it immensely. We hired him to cater our wedding at the Hammond Castle and he was easy to work with, extremely accommodating, flexible and absolutely worth the money. We wanted to have an immersive fairy tale themed wedding and wanted to incorporate ingredients that appeared in storybook fairy tales into the food we serve our guests. So upon request and after numerous revisions, Daniel patiently and creatively customized the whole menu (from hors d'oeuvre to the buffet to to the side dishes) fit our theme and even came up with some creative names for the dishes. We are really blessed to have found Daniel on Thumbtack! We didn't have a large budget, and as anyone that is planning a wedding these days knows, food is expensive and just about everything associated with a wedding has gone up. But unlike others, Daniel's catering company doesn't charge thousands of dollars for staffing and things that made you say to yourself, "why am I paying for these?" He quoted us the food and bar (Open bar with wine, beer and sangria) cost per head, cost per server and bartender and when we finalized the guest count, he added in the tip. Everything was clear and there were no surprises. The only complaints that we had with Daniel was that his service doesn't include rentals and he only takes cheques! However, with the money we've saved, the quality that we get and the outstanding outcome for our event, those are not an issue at all.

Daniel catered for our wedding of 100 people. He met with me twice to discuss the menu initially. We have a budget and Daniel worked with me to customize the menu within our budget and also include sides that we have asked for. The food was delicious and everything went smoothly. He also cut and plated the cakes. We couldn’t have asked for a better caterer. We are so grateful we found you!

I picked Daniel to cater my backyard wedding late Oct. 2019. It's THE BEST DECISION I made for my wedding vendors!! First, the food was AMAZING!! Everybody loved it! He is a really good chief!! He is also really good at working with food allergies. We had quiet a few food restrictions in our guest party and he was able to accommodate them all!! (Big hug for Daniel!) Second, he's really experienced with event planning, he actually came out to our house TWICE and gave us good suggestions for the event as well (not just about the food). Third, he and his crew were so professional and friendly, many of our guests told me not only they loved the food, but also enjoyed the conversation pieces with the catering crew! Many of our guests asked for their business card as well. I totally recommend him for your catering event. I look forward to work with him again for my future events! Pro tip: Daniel is REALLY GOOD with his beef, if you are a meat eater, make sure you have some of his steak on the menu. hahaha

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! Daniel and his fabulous staff catered my daughters wedding with 130+ guests to rave reviews! Not only was the food OUTSTANDING (cold station appetizers, amazing hot passed appetizers, dinner( tenderloin you could cut with a fork) and Pasta Daniel (that still makes my mouth water!) and a great selection of desserts) but the service, professionalism, and genuine kindness of Daniel and his staff was exemplary! He took care of every detail from preparing signature cocktails, timing the service of courses perfectly, food presentation and clean up. My husband and I were able to enjoy the entire reception worry-free. Daniel is a Master Caterer! Can't wait to have another event so we can hire Daniel again!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am a small caterer, I don't have the overhead of other catering companies. This allows me to be flexible and reasonable with pricing.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first thing I do when working with a new customer is meet with them at the location. I want the customer to feel comfortable and get to know me personally before the event, and avoid all kinds of surprises. I like to see the location, help with the planning, and to discuss and customize the menu for the event according to the location as well. This is all free of charge!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
BU Culinary School, and many years of work handling different events of all sizes in hotels and restaurants such as the Four Seasons in Edmonton, Canada, Sonesta Hotel in Bermuda. By speaking different languages, traveling, and working in different countries, I have experienced many different cuisines which shows in my cooking.
