We had several questions and correspondents with her and each one she went above and beyond to make us feel like we have all of the answers we needed! When we went in for our tasting everything was presented in a very professional manner! The food was delicious and they made amazing suggestions based on our guest needs/accommodations, and our options. On our wedding night we had many guests the raved about the Peppercorn Encrusted Filet Mignon and West Coast Creamy Potatoes! Everything was incredibly flavorful and the staff was very attentive! My now husband and I are HUGE fans of ice cream and one request we had was to do an ice cream sundae bar at our wedding. We knew we wanted to work with them and they have never done one before, but made it work specifically for us which was awesome! We would highly recommend Creative Hands to any couple in the Phoenix/Sedona area!

This being our first experience using a caterer, we were genuinely nervous about the associated costs and the amount of food that we would be able to afford for our daughters graduation party. However, Stanley answered all of our questions effectively, helped us brainstorm ideas to stay within our budget, and even offered suggestions we hadn't thought about. Presentation and taste were top notch!! We had shrimp ceviche and Mexican pinwheels for an appetizer along with Southwest chicken and carne asada for our taco bar. It came with all of the necessary accoutrements such as rice, beans, and all condiments. All of our guests raved at how delicious the food was! Once finished, they helped with boxing up leftovers so that we could enjoy time with our guests at the party. Cleanliness seemed important to Stanley and his team; which was very appreciated. This kind of care and consideration is hard to come by and we will definitely reach out to Stanley again in the future!! Don't sleep on Good Eats, they won't let you down! Thank you Stanley for an amazing event!

This review was written by my husband:…read more I threw my wife a small dinner party at our home in March. I originally was going to get the party catered but thought using a personal chef would be a classier and more personal touch. I've never hired the services of a personal chef before so I didn't really know what to expect. In typical hubby fashion, I did not leave myself much time during the planning process. Luckily, after some brief researching via Yelp, the first chef that I contacted was Celeste. After filling out a brief online questionnaire about my event, I was able to get a phone appointment set up with Celeste within a day or two. During the call we spoke more in-depth about the specifics of my party. She had a prior engagement on the day that I wanted to book her that wouldn't allow her & her staff to arrive to my house as early as I'm sure she would've professionally preferred given the start time, but she assured me she could make it work and I was just happy for the fact that she had availability. She was very helpful in walking me through my food, beverage, & decor options. Once we decided on the basics of what I wanted she said she would craft a menu around my needs and get back to me. Throughout my dealings with Celeste her communication was superb. She makes herself available via phone, text, & email without issue and is always prompt with her responses. If she has a question or update she will reach out. I had an issue where I had to inform her that two of my guests were vegetarian after we already had settled on the menu and she accommodated that change last minute. I'm sure it was more of an inconvenience to her than she let on, but as a customer you appreciate that 'no problem' type of attitude in those situations. On the day of the party, Celeste, her sous-chef, & bartender all arrived on time & professionally dressed to setup. Her bartender was outgoing & engaging. She crafted a couple of signature drinks for the event and was proactive about making sure everyone's glass was full throughout the evening. Celeste began the meal with a seafood dip bruschetta that she recommended over some other appetizer options I considered. She couldn't have been more right, it was delicious! The main course was surf & turf (filet & lobster tail) with asparagus & au gratin potatoes. The filet was outstanding! So flavorful and tender. My wife loves lobster tail and was a big fan. The potatoes were a hit as well. Celeste insisted we try her strawberry cheesecake over any other dessert and we were not disappointed. After the meal, she and her staff cleaned up and left us with the leftovers. I was truly impressed with my overall experience with Celeste & her staff. They were personable, professional, and made it an amazing night for my wife and our guests! I strongly recommend using Celeste for any dinner party or event you may be planning.

I rate Simply Celeste's two stars. I'm extremely disappointed with the services rendered on…read more01/11/25. My husband's 80th Birthday Celebration. Event time 4pm - 9pm. On this date Celeste informed me via phone conversation said "I woke up feeling sick this morning and had to seek medical attention. I will not be able to attend the event. Not to worry my staff is enroute to the venue and they will do an amazing job ". Needless to say 2:30pm was the time agreed upon to arrive at the venue. There was no reason for the event to be delayed. Celeste had more than enough time to make the necessary changes to keep the event on time. The first server arrived nearly 4pm (event start at 4pm). She arrived with absolutely nothing. No tables were needed the venue furnished them. Although she had no tablecloths or any decorative items for displaying and enhancing the table setting. I had a table set for gifts and treats. I quickly broke down the table for the servers to setup for the buffet. I left the venue around 4:30 and the other two servers still had not arrived. It was 5pm and the table still wasn't set. I paid for 50 guest, a total of 47 were present. Four of my guest were eating off dessert plates vs dinner plates. I was so embarrassed, I felt like leaving the room and not returning. I asked a server how did that happen and was told we ranned out. He said I'll go to the store I thought what a great idea but a little to late now. All the utensils, butter, corn muffins (so hard you couldn't cut them with a knife). All these items Were in dinner plates used for table settings. Green beans were not fully cooked, asparagus were overcooked. Mashed potatoes were cold and the Mac n Cheese was too cheesy and salty. Zesty chicken and fried chicken was reasonably good but barely warm. The cheesecakes were delicious. They weren't displayed on any type tray just sat on in the original plastic container. Seven of our guest had arrived prior to the table being set and witnessed all the choas. I spent a large amount of money to be exact $3,552.00 to be disrespected and embarrassed in front of our guest. I deserve better than the services rendered. I reached out to Celeste on two occasions via email asking for resolution. Letting her know that she hadn't met her contractual obligations. I feel some portion of money need to be reimbursed. Celeste made it clear to me that she has absolutely no intentions of giving any type of a refund. She also stated that she was responsible for providing table cloths and if I needed them I should have requested them. I was really taken back I have never heard of a Catering company not providing their tables, tablecloths and decorative items to enhance the table setting. Is that what we do nowadays? I guess it isn't about making your client happy anymore. The second email has been ignored an avoidance she has not responded. I'm hopeful she will reply.

We had already attended the frys on shea baking night making scones where we just helped the chef... It was more an informational class to sit across the bar because I suppose their insurance doesn't allow you to really get involved there. Other courses in the valley are larger scale classrooms with more students where you won't get as involved and you may as well watch a video online for free. I have to say when I talked to Maggie about how the structure was and if we cooked or helped, I was happy to hear that her response was "oh, I give you an intro and sample how to make things but you're doing the prep and the cooking." She gave an intro that is great for beginners and culinary experts alike. Pay attention during her review of recipes though, because the rest of the class will be sharing your dish when you are done preparing it. The kitchen environment allowed for plenty of room for six people in our class to both cook and move around safely as well as plenty of preparation knives, cutting boards, measuring and mixing bowls, A beautiful set of all clad cookware and a gorgeous Viking 6 top gas grill. If you're concerned that it needs to be a professional kitchen for classes I'd say she and her husband setup the kitchen in a professional manner. My wife and I absolutely loved our date night, the prep work together and with the other classmates, and the food to top it off was awesome! My advice to this : Be hungry- there will be a ton of food to enjoy! Bring wine :) Take notes so you can make the dishes again at home. Thank you Maggie!

When we were done, our reward was the amazing food we cooked! Every dish complimented the others spectacularly. I cannot wait to make these again at home. Thank you Maggie for a lovely evening!
