I called Kendra on a Friday to cater a business luncheon for five on the following Monday. I gave…read moreher very little direction - that there were two vegetarians in the group, and that was it. She prepared a BEAUTIFUL meal of lemon pepper chicken (for the meat eaters) and veggie pasta salad for the vegetarians. The meal came in four courses: salad (she brought three dressings), entrée, dessert (cookies individually wrapped for each person), and fruit after our meal. She arrived 45 minutes before I did (I was flying in from Baltimore) to set up, and the table scape was beautiful. She brought her own linens, real ceramic dishes, glass glasses, etc. And on top of that, she served us throughout the meal. Basically, Kendra brought the four star dining experience of a restaurant to us (and on very short notice, I reiterate). She is capable of doing both small parties and larger functions such as weddings (up to 500 people). If you need catering in the Charlotte area, I highly highly highly recommend Kendra. You cannot go wrong.

Kraving Catering provided my daughter with a beautiful and delicious array of gluten-free…read moreappetizers and desserts for her wedding reception, along with lovely wedding reception table decorations. My daughter (the future bride) planned her wedding reception with Chef Kendra of Kraving Catering. She often raved about Chef Kendra's help throughout the process: "She is wonderful to work with! Chef Kendra is such a big help! She gets right back to me! She has wonderful ideas!" I met Chef Kendra prior to the actual wedding. She and her crew were personable, prompt and professional. My daughter was thrilled with the delicious desserts, as were our guests. When Chef Kendra found out how our wedding cake baker bowed out at the last minute, she baked the bride and groom a special gluten-free wedding cake for them! (as a wedding gift to them) It was a wonderful relief to know we didn't have to think about tablecloths and table decorations; Kraving Catering provided them and they were lovely. They were a joy to work with; we highly recommend them and would definitely use them again.

We got 12 cookies and two pies, but the pies were not different. Her carrot cake cookies were absolutely amazing. That is probably the only thing I'm happy with she didn't offer to reimburse for any of the money for not getting two different pies. Let alone telling me that it was gonna be the same pie. She tell me that I had to find out for myself, which is extremely disappointed because this was a Father's Day gift for my husband when she reached out to me to ask how my husband like the cookies I let her know that he enjoyed them however you gave us two of the same pies instead of two different pies and the only thing she said is like oh I didn't realize it until they were in the oven. It was too late. No that's not how business works if paying you to give me two different pies and 12 cookies what I expect and the fact that you didn't even that were two different pies is not very business conduct like very unprofessional in that manner I will not be a return customer because I paid $40 expecting to get two of my husband's favorite pies and I didn't not to mention these pies are which I don't have a problem with, but if I'm paying for something I expect to get what I for I do not recommend her as a baker, especially her knowing that both pies were the same and she failed to let me know that don't make the same mistake I did. It's been $40 on too many pies that you can get from Walmart for a the same thing with the cookies extremely extremely upset and will not be we were expected to have custard pie a coconut cream pie for Father's Day not a custard not everybody eats

Chef Shellie is AMAZING!! My review starts this way, as she will frequently encourage all those who…read moreknow her to "have an amazing day"! Chef Shellie has provided us personal chef services for the past 6 months and we are thrilled on all fronts. Aside from being an AMAZING chef, she communicates flawlessly, invites and adjusts to feedback, and frankly is just a real nice person! Regarding her chef talents, she is equally comfortable preparing virtually any meal that we request or serving up alternative meal combinations for us to select from. And wonderfully, she prepares delicious meals across wide spectrums of healthiness, genres, and flavors...the quality/diversity of our meals has been (gonna say it again) AMAZING! We strongly recommend engaging Chef Shellie for your personal chef needs! Dave & Jane

They told me my options, how much it would be and answered any questions. They were also able to take a last minute final number change. As far as on the day of the event, the server who came showed up early and called me to locate us. He was very friendly and unloaded everything for us. He also had a positive attitude when we had to move the food to a different spot. He set everything up beautifully. The food was delicious!! We had plenty of food and chips for everyone as well as a wide variety of salsas and toppings. Each food also had a little menu card saying what it was, and if it was gluten free, vegetarian, dairy free etc. they put the food in trays with warmers so it stayed hot for the entire event. As far as when it was time to clean up, everything was disposable. I was really pleased with everything and would definitely use them again in the future.
