"We hired Ryan to cater our wedding... As my wife just said, the food was 'spectacular.' It wasn’t a cookie cutter offering. He actually made what we wanted... There were passed items as the guests arrived; some finger food items to keep guests satiated... Everyone was happy with the food and raved about it."

"I was planning a Berkeley, CA wedding last minute from Lawrence, KS and Edel made it happen. He is very organized and accommodating on all my demands and wishes (even though I only gave him a week's notice). He took care of all the small logistics... I had a magical wedding and Edel helped make that happen!"

"We could not have made our wedding happen without Edel and his family team. Edel’s no non-sense efficiency, years of experience, and excitement at doing his job carried us through the entire process. He coordinated all communication, collaborated to create an internal schedule... Ordered lunch for bridal party (Something that we had forgotten to take care of! Before we could realize we were getting hungry while getting ready, the best tasting pizza arrived in each of the groom and bridal suites!)."

"He proposed a menu that was exciting and impressive. The main course had several perfect items for every type of eater from meat to vegan. I have no complaints...except that the wedding is over and I don't get to eat the food anymore."
