Delighted and Ecstatic!!!!

My wedding is not until July,2021 but we had Chef Bob Friesen for wedding tasting dinner at my future in-laws house. We are all pleased with the way Chef prepared the meal for us, he is very attentive, professional and my fiance's family loved him. It is really a good experience to have him.The foods are amazing,and we are overwhelmingly pleased with the whole experience. We cannot wait for the wedding day to come and have him as a Chef and have his team to cater our wedding.

Everything was perfect!

Planning a wedding is the worst! It's so stressful and you're constantly wondering if you're guests will enjoy themselves. With Bob as my caterer, I'm not worried at all! It was the greatest pleasure to have him in my home for a tasting for my wedding. The presentation was beautiful, perfect for my venue and date, and the food was so good! They were so polite and comfortable and they made me comfortable being in my home. I can't wait till my wedding to eat more!

Gourmet Goodness

Gourmet Chef At Your Table provided outstanding service on our wedding day. We truly appreciate all of the hard work and attention to detail they put into our special day. Everything was above and beyond expectation and made the day that much more memorable for us. The food was incredible, all of the guests were raving about how delicious everything was. Their attention and care to ensure my dietary restrictions were met was beyond thoughtful. The entire team was so helpful, friendly and extremely kind. They even hunted me down throughout the night with little plates just for me and made sure I had enough to eat. The midnight snacks were a hit and kept the party going. Not only did everything taste amazing, the presentation was gourmet. We are still mind blown they were able to make everything work in our tiny home for 65 guests and left the place spotless. If you're looking for a professional service to cater your event, you truly won't find a better team. We wish we could give more than a 5 star rating, they deserve it.

Absolutely Amazing Experience!

Chef Bob was an absolute pleasure to work with. My partner and I got engaged and planned a wedding within a month, which is stressful enough, and were worried about obtaining excellent food for us and our guests in such a short time frame. With Chef Bob and his team, food and service was something we didn’t have to worry about in the slightest. He was so attentive to our wants and needs, even fulfilling a few last minute requests with apparent ease.

The food was EXCEPTIONAL. Our guests are still raving about it! We had a formal four course sit down dinner after an array of Hors D’Oeuvres, with each course tasting even better the last. My husband being a chef was skeptical at first, but now has nothing but praise for our entire experience. We capped it off with a lovely coffee station to wake us up from our delicious food coma just in time to get the party started.

Even better than the quality of food (which was amazing, so that’s saying something) was the service of his staff. From the chefs, to the servers to the bartenders, each and every one of them were kind and knowledgeable, treating every guest with the utmost respect and giving us as all a wonderful experience.

Thank you so much to Chef Bob and your entire team for making our wedding day the day of our dreams, a day we will never forget. We are truly grateful for all of you, from the bottom of our hearts.

With love, the Fazackerley-Slat newlyweds.

Everything was AMAZING!!!!

Bob is a consummate professional and is incredible at what he does. From the very beginning stages of wedding planning, Bob was so helpful - from providing honest input and recommendations for our wedding menu, to helping us save money where possible, and meeting with us two weeks before the wedding to iron out every single detail imaginable. To say that Bob played an integral role in our wedding would be a massive understatement - he was like our second wedding coordinator!

Bob took great care in ensuring that all dietary accommodations were made for the safety of our guests. The serving staff couldn't bring the hors d'oeuvres out fast enough and they were gone within seconds - especially the halloumi cheese pops! The entrées were literal perfection; the dessert was equal parts light and decadent; and the late night snacks were a huge hit. Every single guest at our wedding made a point of letting us know how amazing the food was - many said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding and although we might be a little biased, we absolutely agree!

Thank you, Bob, and your entire team for making our wedding such a special and memorable one. We hope to find more opportunities to work with you all in the future!

Exceptional Food! Exceptional Service!

There a not enough words to describe how pleased I am with Chef Bob and his incredible team! We had him cater a family wedding and as with all things COVID plans were continually changing and Bob was more than accommodating and willing to adjust to the ever-ongoing daily changes that came up. He was incredibly easy to communicate with and was very prompt with reply’s and answering any and all the questions we had. With regards the food, it truly was nothing short of exceptional! To this day the guests have raved about the meal served and have continually said that they've never had a better beef tenderloin. In fact all of the food from the hor d'oeuvres, to the entrees to the deserts, everything was delectable and so skillfully prepared.

Not only did the food beyond exceed our expectations but the servers and the level of professionalism of Bobs team was very impressive and we couldn’t have been more pleased. I can say with 110% certainty that the service we were provided by Bob was truly unmatched. Without a doubt hiring Bob to cater the wedding was the best decision made, and we couldn’t have been more fortunate to have such a skilled chef prepare the food for us on such a special day for our family. We certainly will be hiring him again in the near future!!

More than I was expecting!

Chef Bob & his team are absolutely incredible. He catered our wedding & from day one he was so responsive, friendly & organized. He thought of things that I didn’t think of. He was extremely flexible with all of my COVID changes, going from 175 people to 50 to 25, he didn’t bat an eye, even two weeks before when we completely changed venues, he had no problem with that & made it work perfectly. He came with bartenders as well which was an added bonus! Highly highly recommend hiring Bob for any party you have. We look forward to working with him in the future! Don’t look any further than Bob, you won’t regret it!

The best meal we ever had!!

I used Gourmet Chef to cater my wedding and it could not have been more perfect. Bob was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process - helping me navigate rental items, finding creative ways to shave dollars off the budget here and there, etc... I truly felt like I had a partner working alongside me, looking out for my best interests and personally invested in making sure my day was absolutely perfect.THE FOOD! The food was mindblowingly good - I think every single guest followed up with us at some point after the wedding to let us know it was *the best* wedding meal they have ever had - and for some, the best meal they ever had, full stop. My sister even went home the next night and tried to recreate one of the dishes, she loved it that much. My deepest gratitude to this entire team of talented chefs and hospitality staff - you truly took every shred of stress or anxiety I had and turned it into pure joy. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope I have the opportunity to throw another event, just so I have reason to cross paths with Bob and his team again.
