Chef Alana was absolutely wonderful! She catered my wedding and the food was a HIT! Everyone was commenting on how good it was 👌🏽. In my opinion, Alana went above and beyond for us. She sent samples of her food out to our house and, of course, it was delicious. She was flexible with dropping off the food with our wedding schedule (our venue was an hour outside of Austin) and then even hung around so she could meet us. She is a gem and I highly recommend booking her. Thank you for being so awesome and filling our guests bellies on our special day!

Details: Wedding • Dinner • Mexican or Latin American • Buffet • No, drop off only • Barn • No kitchen • 100 - 124 guests • I'm flexible
