Simply relax and enjoy...
The luxurious experience of having your own private chef and service staff on call!
Imagine...you're getting ready to host. You're not stressed - you're relaxed and excited, because you know that access to expert guidance, phenomenal food, and full team of chefs, servers and bartenders is just a quick call or message away!
Hi! I'm Melissa, I'll be your chef!
For over ten years, my team and I have been perfecting the art of transforming fresh ingredients into exceptional food that is fully prepared on site - even when cooking for hundreds of guests!
I specialize in creating health conscious menus, that cater to all kinds of dietary restrictions - without feeling restrictive, or tasting like your typical idea of healthy food. Hosting a fully vegan and gluten free wedding, for guests who eat everything? That's precisely my type of project!
I love working closely with my clients, as if I was the head of their own private staff, not just someone they call to order food from, and deeply value the personal relationships that come with working together over time. For many of my clients, my team and I have become an essential element of hosting- present at all of their special moments, taking care of things with special attention to their personal preferences.
You'll be working one-on-one with me from the first contact, to your final bite - and whether you're hosting a one time event, or searching for a recurring service provider, you'll receive the same level of personalized attention and support that has become the signature of working with me and my team!

I'm on a mission to prove that healthy food should never have to look or taste like "health food", with my vibrant and flavorful dishes!
"From our initial meeting to the actual day, Melissa understood what we wanted and she delivered. The food was fresh, exciting and just what we wanted! We couldn't have had a better company to work with. It took out all the hassle that catering for our 50th Wedding Anniversary could have been and made it a very relaxing time for our family."
