I hired John for a birthday celebration, after speaking with a few local caterers his offering was…read morebest for my needs. On the day of the party, I had a chef on-site, one server and one bartender, who served guests with booze I supplied. They came early to set up and cleaned everything up before they left. Their service included all platters, plates, and cutlery. The team was kind and professional. We did hot/cold heavy-apps, in total 8, which included a cheese board and hummus/dips. The food was outstanding, everyone raved about it. It was expensive but this approach allowed me to have more people join and I was able to enjoy time with guests without worrying about food or that someone had a drink. One minor frustration was the contract process, it should be standard practice to have an agreement that outlines all details, including the agreed to menu, and to have it signed by both parties. It felt like they were inconvenienced by this request. That said, I would recommend Essential Chefs Catering to anyone!

She arrived early, cranked out crispy chicken wings, then salad and 5 different types of pizza with signage. Wings were fall off the bone, salad was fresh and pizzas were DELISH.

Would definitely use her again and highly recommend!

My husband and I were married at Salvatore's in September and did something that we hoped to do,…read morebut didn't necessarily expect to do--we thoroughly enjoyed our own wedding! Their event coordinator and experienced staff helped us to select vendors, choose a menu, plan the ceremony, and choreograph the entire event so that it was unique, romantic, and memorable. On the evening of our wedding, our event coordinator personally attended to our needs, ensuring that every detail happened as planned. We had very specific expectations (with a dozen checklists to prove it!) and she and the staff exceeded every one. The deck and function rooms looked amazing; the food was fantastic; the service was courteous and attentive, but unobtrusive; and, most important, the evening flowed flawlessly, with no intervention from the either of us. We wouldn't be surprised to learn that Salvatore's also had something to do with the postcard-perfect sunset! ;) Months later, our guests continue to gush about the evening, including the food, the staff, and the venue itself. We are so happy that we chose Salvatore's for our wedding. We wouldn't change a thing.

Had my potential wedding planner reach out to Deb and asked her to contact me on February 1st. Never heard back. Emailed Deb again on February 6th. Never heard back. Deb finally reached out to me on February 11th. I did not respond because I had already selected another bar service company. She reached out again on February 16th. I responded saying that I would not be using their services due to their lack of response. Deb told me that the first time she received any information from me was on February 1st and she "responded immediately". February 11th does not mean "immediately", in my book. Hilariously, she finally responded to my online inquiry (from January 26th) on February 22nd. Didn't even realize that we had already spoken. This just shows their ridiculous lack of organization. Definitely will never use their services or recommend them to anyone!

I am not one to write a review, but I feel compelled to do so this time. We used Anna at Lasting…read moreImpressions for our son's rehearsal dinner. From the very beginning she was very hard to get a hold of. At one point she told me " I really could use 4 assistance - but it's just me". The only way to get her was via phone call - but she was always driving or at another event, so you really didn't have her full attention. And she never had anything written down. Anyway - the food was ok - but the serve was terrible. We notice right away that none of our water glasses were filled. When we asked about it, the servers eventually dropped water pitchers on the tables ( which filled about 3 glasses of a 8 person table ) Our sit down dinner for only 35 people took over an hour for all 5 tables to be served. Anna had assured me many times that we had plenty of time for her to serve a full meal before our welcome drinks. We were so far behind that we asked her to just take the dessert that we had paid for and set it on a table at the welcome drinks, because people were coming in by then. Then when we got up and moved to the welcome drinks with passed appetizers - again soo slow to come out. Our venue coordinator (not with Lasting Impressions) was running around trying to help speed them along. The charcuterie board ran out of crackers fast. It took forever to get them to refill. At one point -one of the servers stopped to offer me something and began talking to me about her daughters wedding - going on and on. So unprofessional. She is there to serve food - not mingle with me. Again I have never posted a negative review, but I wish I would have seen something like this before I booked Lasting Impressions. I would not recommend them.
