About Chef Steph's Events
Chef Steph's Events
I love creating unique and beautiful meals that individuals truly love and enjoy. Creating a memorable experience through food is such a fun creative process for me. I love bringing that passion to my clients and working with them to create the menu of their dreams, and memories that will last a lifetime.
What sets me apart is I pay attention to every detail that goes into each dish. Every aspect of each meal is carefully analyzed to best exceed the customers highest expectations. Working closely with the customers is also very important in building a long standing relationship where we can work together on future events creating happy memories for them in future celebrations.

The cater that almost destroyed my wedding
I would strongly advise avoiding Chef Steph's Events for your wedding catering. Our experience with them was an absolute disaster from start to finish. Their communication style was extremely unprofessional - they were rude, dishonest, and outright lied to us on multiple occasions. The quality of their work was abysmal, as they completely destroyed my kitchen. The food they provided was mediocre at best, and they even managed to break several of my dishes. To top it off, they had the audacity to demand a tip in the middle of my reception, and then left my kitchen a complete mess, burning my grill top and leaving all of their dirty dishes behind. This was easily the worst experience I've ever had dealing with a catering company, and I would not recommend them to anyone.
Response from vendor•Dec 18, 2025I’m sorry to hear you choose to leave a review which is unfortunately untrue. We were only contracted to make and provide the food that you ordered, and your kitchen staff was supposed to help with the service, wait staff and clean up. None of your staff was there to do what was contracted, and we arrived early and stayed late to get the job done. We were not given the proper tools to clean the grill and were told to just leave it as is. We spent 1.5 hours after service cleaning the kitchen, which again, we were not contracted to do, but did it anyway. I never asked for any gratuity directly, I simply let you know we were leaving the event and thanked you for having us. If you wouldn’t have fallen short on the staffing promises you told us we’d have on this day, the entire kitchen would’ve been clean. For those customers reviewing this review, I hope this information provided by this customer will be taken with a grain of salt, as not all details can be thoroughly explained. We went above and beyond, as we do at every event (and is previously reviewed by our customers) and in this case this is a very unfortunate case of mis management from the customer side in not fulfilling her restaurant staffing that was contracted and promised.Amazing catering

Great party!
It wasn'ta wedding, but a cocktail/dinner party. Chef Steph was involved in planning the menu as well as decor. She gave Great ideas but listened to mine too. The party for 10 was perfect. Everyone loved the food and were wowed by the experience. I highly recommend her for other events!
Dinner Party Event
Chef Steph's Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, Steph was incredibly responsive and took the time to really listen to our vision and preferences. She was highly detail-oriented throughout the planning process, creating a menu that exceeded our expectations in both taste and presentation - all at a very reasonable price. On the day of, Steph and her team were polite, professional, and incredibly understanding as we navigated some last-minute changes to our guest count. The food was absolutely delicious and received rave reviews from all of our guests. I would without a doubt hire Chef Steph's Events again in a heartbeat for any future event. She truly helped make our wedding day perfect!
