From the very beginning, his presence brought a sense of ease, confidence, and quiet luxury to every moment. Fresh hand made ingredients created the most savored tastes. Better thab we imagined. Everyone loved the food. Andre seamlessly executed the rehearsal dinner, tended bar and hosted horsdeouvres, drinks and canolli for deserts at our Santa Barbara wedding--each delivered with remarkable precision, intention, and grace. His ability to read the room, adapt in real time, and execute flawlessly (even under unexpected conditions) speaks to a level of professionalism that is truly rare. The unexpectes rain during our wedding reception did not stop his flawless execution. We are grateful to Andrei and I LOVE TO CATER for bringing this Italian flare to our very special wedding day.

I contacted this company 5 months in advance of a Luau themed party. They were to provide…read moreappetizers, main course and desert with a server and all necessary items like plates, cutlery, napkins, etc. All in the written contract. I confirmed the timing several days before the event. Andrei showed up (on time) with no server, no plates, etc. Sent him to the store to get these items. He set up all the food at the same time and left. We had to do the serving ourselves. He didn't return until the next morning to pick up his stuff which we had to put out of the way. Only received two of the three main courses we ordered, food was mediocre at best. Very disappointing.

She created a customized menu that was not only delicious but beautifully presented--every course felt like something out of a fine dining restaurant.

Having her cook for us turned a fun girls' weekend into something truly unforgettable. If you're looking for a private chef in Paso Robles, look no further than Chef Danelle--she's an absolute gem. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

Timing was perfect, our entrees were plated as the sun was setting. Such a thoughtful presentation.
