“Pelle was very easy to work with in planning our wedding reception. He is a tremendous chef, offering a huge variety of menu options. Our guests said that the food was a highlight of the wedding.

One needs an experienced chef and catering coordinator such as Pelle to make sure his or her wedding goes well. Thanks again for doing such a great job!” – Leigh C.

“Thank you so much! You are the master in all that you do! We had so many cmoplements on the food & service. You made a stressful time seem so easy & smooth! Best wishes always.” – Finn & Diane

“Thanks again so much for such a flawless and fabulous party. I have been getting gushing thank you emails all week raving about the food. Equally impressive to me was your reliability as a business person. I have never met a caterer who is so buttoned up and together with returning phone calls, menu planning, and coordinating staff. Plus, the fact that you suggested ways to cut costs (without me even asking you to do so) demonstrates your incredible integrity. You are a total pro. I will definitely use you for all my business functions.” –  Alexandra Watkins

Your assistance ensured a most successful and enjoyable ceremony.” – Joanne Hayes, SFFD White Chief of Department

“One of the things that was most important to us when planning our wedding was to provide our guests from all around the country (and beyond!) with good food to represent what California has to offer. Your amazing skills & talent with catering allowed us to put a HUGE checkmark next to that item! One of the first things we hear from our guests was how amazing the food was – vegans to meat eaters alike. Thank you so much for your suggestions, communication, and most of all, your wonderful service. We’ll be sending you lots of referrals. Best wishes always.” – Nonoko & Ted

“I have heard from a number of my guests and they all had a wonderful time at my birthday party. They where raving about the fabulous dinner you produced: The exquisite hors d’oeuvres, the succulent salmon, the delicious rib roast and the divine cheese cake.  I had leftovers Tuesday night with my family from Denmark and it really hit home what an amazing chef you are. Thanks again Pelle for helping to make my party memorable.” – Poz

“We had so many compliments on the catering! Everything came out wonderfully! My father, who is the senior partner of a large Los Angeles law firm, has been to many, many weddings and functions, and said it was the best catering he’d had at any wedding. I agree. Thanks again!” – Katey and Bob B.

“Thank you for making the Christmas Luncheon at the Mark Hopkins Hotel an amazing and memorable event.

“I’ve worked with Pelle in the past while he was an Executive Chef creating menus for Bay Area restaurants. Now that he is is offering services to the general public, I had him cater my company’s holiday party. His food turned out to be a hit, and I was still within my budget. He brought us high quality food with good presentation, and the portions were plentiful. He will take good care of you. Pelle is an excellent chef with exceptional skills that I highly recommend. You can taste his talent to the last drop of your meal.” – Christine S.
