From the moment we first contacted Chef John's Events & Catering, we were impressed by their prompt, complete and detailed communication style. They always offered helpful suggestions to ensure our wedding day was perfect. The quality and quantity of the food they provided was superior, and the value far exceeded the price. Chef Jeannette and her team were a pleasure to work with, as they accommodated guests with severe allergies and dietary requirements, ensuring a safe and delicious experience for everyone. Additionally, they left the kitchen area spotless after the event, despite catering the wedding at a friend's home. I had experienced Chef Jeannette's delicious food at several corporate events prior to my wedding, so I knew I wanted to use Chef John's Catering. They made the planning and preparation so much easier, and were willing to work with us on our budget and specific requests. We couldn't have been happier with their exceptional service and incredible food.

Loaded By Nisha

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Mesa, AZ
  • Offer

I’m Chef Nisha, owner of Loaded by Nisha, with 9 years of experience in diverse cuisines. I've worked with high-profile clients and was voted a top private chef in AZ , NV, MO & CA Let’s schedule a meeting to discuss!

Loaded By Nisha was absolutely amazing and undescribable. The communication from Chef Nisha and her team was communicative, descriptive and informative from start to finish. On our special day, they made themselves readily available and took care of all of our food needs with care and precision. The chef and her staff came in, set up, and made some of the most memorable and delicious food we have ever had. Nisha's energy is something you would love to have at a wedding after everything is done - you can truly taste the love in the food. We were blown away by the quality of their work and the value they provided. We cannot recommend Loaded By Nisha enough for your wedding or event.

SanTan Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Mesa, AZ

We pride ourselves on serving fresh, handcrafted foods straight from our kitchen to your mouth. Our goal is to provide a dining experience as unique and special as your event is to you. We offer 2 unique onsite catering spaces with our Brewer's Reserve and SanTan Gardens and partner with multiple venues across the valley. We can also come to you!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about SanTan, period! I was lucky enough to work with them for both my rehearsal dinner and my wedding and would choose them again in a heart beat. Having my wedding out of state and not being familiar with vendors in the area I was lucky enough to work with a venue (The Paseo - also 10/10 recommend), and have the option between SanTan and another awesome catering company. After corresponding via email we flew in for a tasting and everything about SanTan blew us away. I worked directly with Alexa, their catering director, and she was fantastic. She was incredibly organized and helped us work our way through the options, narrow down what we wanted to try and ultimately pick a menu that we knew we and our guests would love. She answered all of my questions, and there were a lot, and totally put me at ease! During the tasting we loved the food and the vibe of the brewery so much we even decided that it would be the perfect place for our rehearsal dinner! Again, the communication between us and everyone involved at SanTan made both nights flawless! All of my guests could not believe how on top of everything the servers and staff were, and how attentive they were to detail! I had a handful of guests with food allergies and dietary restrictions, and they did not miss a BEAT making sure that my guests were taken care of. As a bride, I can’t tell you how amazing it feels to not have to worry about food and service; because that was so important to me and my hubby! If you are getting married, or looking for someone to cater an event in the greater AZ area (don’t worry they actually make their own kitchen onsite which is insanely cool) you won’t go wrong picking SanTan :) if you’ve already found someone for your catering needs (bummer) at least stop by their brewery in Chandler for a beer and yummy food!

They listened carefully to all my needs and provided thoughtful suggestions that made the entire process stress-free. The team at Glad Mouf truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for my special day. The food was absolutely incredible! The oxtail was tender and flavorful, cooked to perfection with a rich, savory sauce that had just the right amount of seasoning. Every bite was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The crab fried rice was another standout—packed with juicy crab meat and a delicious combination of flavors. It was the perfect balance of savory and just the right amount of richness. I’ve had many versions of crab fried rice, but this one was top-tier. As for the overall experience, the quality and value of their work were exceptional. The portions were generous, and the food was served fresh and hot, even though they were catering to a large crowd. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was. Glad Mouf’s dedication to their craft really shone through, and they contributed to making my wedding day even more memorable.

The Crain Experience 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Mesa, AZ for additional fees

Welcome. Chef Jason started out in the kitchen at 15 years old as a dishwasher at Red Lobster washing dishes and baking. From there, he worked many cook’s lines until I earned my first chef position under Emeril Lagasse over ten years ago. He's went on to operating casino kitchens, private dining clubs. Since relocating from Atlanta, GA Jason has gained experience in kitchen consulting and new restaurant openings. After 25 years in the industry, He is now starting a new journey into the Private Chef sector. He refers to his style of cooking as Southern Creole cooking, where it’s much more than cooking…it’s about the overall experience.

I would recommend Crain Experience anytime Chef Renny & Chef Jason was absolutely wonderful!
