Justine and her team are amazing. I had to plan a last minute wedding in less than a week (bride's mother was diagnosed with an illness and the wedding needed to be moved up) and needed a caterer that made organic food. Justine contacted me immediately after I emailed her, and she was able to provide a sample menu and rough estimate. From the very beginning, Justine was professional, patient, honest, and just one of the nicest people you would ever want to work with. The food for the wedding was amazing and fresh. The guests raved about the food (especially the prawns!), and I don't think I've had more delicious food at a catered event, than this wedding. Justine's staff was extremely respectful of the kitchen space and venue space, and left the space immaculate. Her wait staff was very professional and made sure that our guests were well taken care of. Beyond the delicious food, I am so appreciative of Justine's help in general. Not only did she make it super easy for me to not have to worry about anything catering related, she also gave me tips regarding wedding/event planning in general that allowed me to plan an event without breaking the bank and with vendors that I knew I could trust. Each of her recommendations (cake, rentals, etc.) were spot on because Justine is the type of person that aligns herself with other honest businesses like her own. This allowed me to pull together a wedding within just 6 days. Thank you, Justine and team! read more

We are so thrilled we used Justine's Private Cuisine for our wedding last year! Justine is kind, thoughtful, and goes above and beyond a typical caterers duties. She has such a depth of knowledge of events and all the vendors she recommended were incredible. Of course - her food is also very tasty, fresh, and presented beautifully. She was very accommodating to our food restrictions and preferences and her staff was very professional. Photos attached by Katie Branch. Thank you, Justine - we can't wait to have another event so we can work with you again! read more

Thank you Justine, Eviolet and Natalie, for exceeding our expectations in every way. read more

Justine's Private Cuisine - Delicious beef and chicken skewers - Caterers Near Me

I am so genuinely pleased to write a review for Justine and her team for making my 50th birthday exactly what I had envisioned. I had interviewed a few different private chefs before I decided to go with Justine. She was very prompt in answering my phone call and offered to come and meet me at my home and discuss the details of the event. She was very quick to understand exactly what I wanted and was also very patient with me as I went back and forth on the menu. The food was comparable or even better in taste than some high-end restaurants. I have traveled quite a bit both in the USA and abroad and I have dined at a lot of world-class restaurants The presentation was spot on, so beautiful. Justine is a very passionate cook and chooses only the finest ingredients for cooking. She is very resourceful and will also help you with decorations and party rental stuff. Everybody at my party just raved about the food and the presentation. the black bean taco's, Arancini balls, pizza, Kabocha soup were just top-notch. Justine went above and beyond just food, she also provided me with beautiful plates, teacups, and saucers, tableware for the party. Can't thank her enough. Her staff Petra and Frenchie were very professional. If you are looking for a personal chef, please give Justine a chance. You will be very happy. read more

So this was an amazing experience. I attended a retirement function at a private residence where Justine's provided the catering. Moving from the delicious hot shrimp to the squash soup, and many other things, I could not help but be struck by the fact that I was experiencing flavor seasoning combinations that were completely new to me!!! Now, I have eaten a lot in my life, and all over the globe, so it takes a lot to surprise me. Well, this was a pleasant surprise. Not only did it taste fabulous, but the hors d'oevres and other items were beautifully plated. What a treat to come across some unusual pairings and seasonings, my palate had a great evening :)!!! Her catering staff that served everybody throughout the rooms was very attentive, and totally on-the-ball in ensuring everybody was taken care of. Oh, and for desert, the Chocolate-Chocolate-Chocolate cake was really sinful ... ymmm. read more

Justine's Private Cuisine - Caterers Near Me

JUSTINE IS THE BEST! She just catered our wedding (125 guests) at my parent's house and guests are still talking about her amazing food. She is a talented cook who prioritizes seasonal ingredients when possible. Most importantly, she's a great listener who just wants to provide a great menu for you and your guests. And Justine is not just a caterer, she's a swiss army knife of party planning. She helped us select a venue, connected us to a rental company who was cheaper and better than others, and she worked diligently with our wedding coordinator. Justine guided us through the process and always had our backs as she knows when and where vendors overcharge. She told us we didn't need to rent bathrooms and that one bar would be enough and she was right. Justine is generous, calm, experienced, and thoughtful. She surprised me with my favorite salsa for my wedding dinner and she also staffed someone to keep guests away so we could eat for five minutes. Her team is superb and beyond professional. If you are planning a party and want to guarantee it will be smooth and a success, hire Justine. She has done multiple events for my family, including my sister's wedding, and every time she hits a home run. read more

We are so lucky to have connected with Justine at Justine's Private Cuisine. She was a guest at an event we were running and she made the effort to come introduce herself. We instantly hit it off talking about the different wedding and events we both were working on. We had a client who was still on the hunt for a caterer, so we took a chance on Justine. Wow, best decision ever! My business partner and I were invited to the food tasting, with our client, so we could see her operation. It was the perfect opportunity for our clients and Justine to get to know each other and create a relationship. We were so impressed by the spread of high quality food, the energy and passion that Justine possessed, and the overall experience; we were all won over! She is so great with our clients, super creative, a wonderful communicator, and best of all her food is to die for!! Since then we're working on several events together, and will continue to do so in the coming years. When you find a vendor as amazing as Justine you just want to tell the world! Anyone who is reading this review, you have to see Justine in action and taste her amazing food! From one professional to another, we give Justine the highest recommendation possible! Keep up the rock star business!! read more

Hire this caterer! Justine puts her heart and soul into her food and it shows! She sat down with me and designed a great menu for my event and she executed perfectly! The staff was professional and helpful. The food was out of this world! My hats off to her and her team! read more

Amazing caterer! Delicious, beautiful food; responsive, creative menus; excellent, professional staff. Justine catered a work celebration for 35 people in our back yard. She worked with us to develop a menu that made our vegan and GF guests as happy as the omnivores, within our budget. She had great suggestions for layout and logistics, including all the tables, chairs, plates, cutlery, linens, and even some gorgeous lighting that transformed our yard. Justine truly loves to create delicious food. She spent hours before our event creating layered sauces and carefully prepared dishes, from appetizers and an amazing cheese tray, through the dinner and incredible desserts. She was generous in her portion estimates, leaving us with some yummy leftovers. The whole team was professional, capable, and lovely to work with. We were happy to have them as part of our team in our home. We highly recommend Justine for your catered event. read more

Justine catered our wedding. She is an amazing cook, with excellent suggestions, a command of her business, and a high degree of professionalism and attention to detail. She is more than that though, she is also part wedding planner, and helped my fiancée and I navigate to a memorable wedding ceremony. My fiancée and I had opted to keep our wedding reception small ( 70 people) and hold it at my parents' house rather than a venue. After some asking around Justine came highly recommended as a caterer and after a sample tasting we knew why. During planning Justine met with us on multiple occasions to make sure everything went smoothly. Her cooking abilities are boundless and our menu went beyond the typical wedding fare. She also made amazing appetizers. The moment my wife and I made our entrance at the reception guests raved about the food. It should be noted we had many people at the reception who were accustomed to eating well and had high standards. They were all impressed by the quality of Justine's services. Her staff was also exceptional, they acted like waiters at a high end restaurant, making sure everyone was satisfied. Justine and her staff even made sure our wedding photographers were properly served. Justine's abilities go beyond the kitchen. We needed a lot of wedding planning advice and Justine was able help with all of it. Justine was more than our caterer, she took a personal amount of pride and responsibility for the entire event and helped us every step of the way, going far above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks Justine!!! Geoff & Natalia read more

This is my first ever Yelp review!!! I found Justine through another caterer, and I hit the jackpot! Justine made planning my mother's 80th birthday so easy!! She's extremely professional and a lovely person! Both her and her assistant are talented at cooking and the food display was beautiful too! We did a "Casual Cocktail" Party for about 35 people. There was so much food and leftovers too. Everything was delicious! My guests couldn't stop raving. If you're looking for a wonderful caterer call Justine! read more

I was lucky enough to be invited to a small birthday dinner party where Justine was preparing the meal. The food was amazing! We were prepared for a backyard casual. She had artfully prepared small plates of shrimp appetizers, regular and gluten free flat-breads, and scrumptious kale salad in take-out containers. She even had second and third helpings for guests who arrived late! For dessert she prepared freshly made ice cream with fresh baked bar. I would highly recommend her! read more

Can I give 10 stars?!! Justine is amazing. Everything about Justine made my wedding! From the moment I met Justine, she made me feel completely at ease about any stress I was feeling about planning my own wedding in 4 months. She acted as much more than just my caterer. She assisted with rentals, telling us how much alcohol to buy, and even assisted in a wine tasting so we can decide on what wine we had at my wedding. When we had our tasting, I knew I was absolutely in love with her cooking. Everything was very fresh, organic, and the opposite of what I consider "wedding food," or mass produced catered food. I had almost every guest at my wedding comment on the incredible food, from our appetizers to the salad, to Justine's bread (that she makes herself), to the fresh salmon and chicken meal. I also was very impressed with her staff. Everyone was so pleasant and very accommodating. If I ever have another party to plan, even a small dinner party, I will be calling Justine for her help with everything! I cannot rave about Justine enough!! Justine, her food, her overall calm demeanor, completely made my wedding absolutely perfect!! read more

If you want to provide your guests with the perfect dinner party count on Justine. She will offer a fabulous menu selection with fresh ingredients artistically prepared. She is professional and will elegantly describe the meal to your guests while serving. Petra accompanied her and prepared beautiful crafted cocktails. My dinner party was a formal Valentine's Day dinner but I met Justine while she was catering a large open house style party. She can handle it all not to mention the food is beyond gourmet! read more

Justine's food is amazing! I've had the opportunity to experience her services from formal sit down for parties and also buffet style.. and private dinners. ALL fantastic! Professional all the way.. staff always friendly and great at what they do! I would highly recommend Justine for your next party, event or get together! read more

I am over the moon with Justine and her catering!! I would give her 10 stars if I could. She went above and beyond all expectations to make our wedding truly special. First, Justine is a warm, caring, and extremely intelligent person. She was a true delight to work with from start to finish. Second, her food is absolutely delish!! She had brilliant menu suggestions that were unique to my and my fiance's personalities, and our guests dietary restrictions. Plus, she helped us find great menu selections within our budget. Weddings can get so expensive and Justine was so helpful when it came to balancing our wants with our budget. Her whole staff was kind and professional on the day of our wedding. Nothing but compliments on the food and service from our friends and family. I wish I could get married all over again just to work with Justine again (not kidding)! read more

We used Justine for my daughter's 21st birthday party and we could not have been happier. First, Justine is truly a delight. She came over a couple of weeks in advance to work with us to plan the menu. That was fun. Her ideas were incredibly creative. She arrived a coupled of hours early on the day of the party and took charge. We started with two appetizers, a pear, Brie and prosciutto pizza, and Salt and Pepper shrimp. Cannot describe how good they were. We than had an heirloom tomato and Burata salad, which was great. The main course was pork tenderloin stuffed with apples, cherries thyme and pine nuts with a port wine and balsamic reduction...even better than it sounds! Bottom line, if you need a private chef or are catering an event, I can't imagine you could do better. We will definitely be using Justine again. read more

I initially found Justine via yelp and I could not be more thankful. After interviewing Justine to cater a private party for about 70 guests at our home, we mentioned her to one of our good friends who then raved about Justine's cuisine based upon their first-hand knowledge at several prior events. Justine far exceeded our expectations in all ways -- the menu (including specialty homemade appetizers, desserts and beverages) was exemplary and her staff were uber professional. Justine earns our highest recommendation and we will be utilizing her expertise and services again as soon as possible. Everyone who came to our party said that not only was it the best party they had ever been to but that the food and beverages were extraordinarily delicious. Justine and her staff received a standing ovation which was well-deserved. :-) read more

i attended a holiday party tonight, and Justine's food was so fabulous, I just had to come home and write about it. The short rib sliders, jumbo prawns, brie and prosciutto pizza were beyond perfection. I could not stop eating the white chocolate macadamia cookies and a chocolate brownie dessert with a layer of caramel and graham cracker crust. I went in to the kitchen to compliment the caterer, and there I met Justine, who was so warm and welcoming! I can't wait to use Justine for my next affair. I am giving Justine 5 stars because that is the maximum, but she is really a TEN! read more

We hired Justine to cater my wife's 50th birthday party at our home. This was the first time we arranged a catered party and we did quite a bit of research, including a number of phone inquiries and a couple of face-to-face interviews, before choosing Justine. Justine was very warm and friendly and spent a lot of time helping us figure out what we wanted to do. My wife and I enjoy eating gourmet food, and prefer creative, interesting items with a focus on seafood and fresh produce. Justine worked with us to create a perfect menu for our guests and us. We decided to have a number of appetizers/small plates brought out in waves instead of a sit-down single main course meal. Some of the highlights of our menu included salt and pepper prawns, a boxed salad with lentils, faro, kale, wild arugula, parmesan, shaved fennel and a champagne vinaigrette, a variety of interesting flatbread pizzas, and awesome raspberry/blackberry streusel bars. There was plenty of food for everybody and many of our guests raved about the variety of high quality and interesting items. Justine and her staff of 3 were extremely attentive to all of the guests. They made sure that a vegetarian was provided with an ample assortment of vegetarian items, that the children were provided with the items that were more kid-friendly, and that a guest that arrived late had plenty of food. At the end of the party, they cleaned up the kitchen so that it was in a better state than when they arrived. We highly recommend this Justine's catering. read more

From the moment I met Justine through the entire experience she and her staff were professional, helpful and supportive in every way possible. I have been a guest at a couple of her events and the food was spectacular - above the rest!! Anyone who choses her services will NOT be disappointed. read more
