So this year we celebrated my husbands birthday the day before, the day of and the day after. We had amazing experiences, but neither day compared to the meal with chef Al of Lasalle Events. Chef Al was attentive in learning what my husband enjoys in a meal. He executed impeccably from the greeting (great wine) to the exit. He catered to every whim of my husband's taste buds and his appetite. The food was absolutely delicious, served at perfect temperature, and it was also picture perfect. What stood out to me was the freshness of the ingredients and harmony of the meal both in flavor and texture. Just when we thought we could not eat another bite of anything, we were served two amazing dessert treats curated by Chef Mel (she was a joy to meet and is serious about her craft/talents). Lots of attention, care, and skill were easily recognized. I can't see how this meal could have been any better. Just think of having your own chef making your favorite dishes beyond your expectations it was happiness overload and will always be remembered. Thank you so much, Lasalle Events. We look forward to meeting again read more

I recently celebrated a milestone 50th birthday and let me tell you--it wouldn't have been complete without the incredible culinary experience provided by Chef Al and the team at LaSalle Events. His food was beyond delicious--every course felt like a celebration of flavor. From presentation to palate, the dishes were five-star quality with beautiful plating that matched the energy and elegance of the night. The menu was the perfect complement to the ambiance created. His professionalism, timing, and personal touch elevated the entire evening. My guests are still raving! As an event planner, I've worked with many vendors--but his work stood out. We made a powerful connection and may be teaming up on future events where his gourmet catering and my event planning come together to deliver unforgettable experiences. If you're planning an event and want it to impress from start to finish, hire Chef Al and LaSalle Events--you'll be glad you did! #PrivateChef #EventPlanning #CelebrationGoals #CollaborationComingSoon #OrlandoEvents read more

We used Lasalle Events for my daughter's rehearsal dinner, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. We hosted about 50 guests and went with a Caribbean-themed event. Even though Chef Al was short-handed because Chef Mel was out sick, he absolutely delivered on his promise. The food was tasty, well-presented, and full of flavor--exactly what we were hoping for. You honestly wouldn't have known he was down a person; the service and execution were still smooth and professional. Several of our guests went out of their way to compliment the food and ask about the chef, which says a lot. Chef Al came through under pressure and made the night special for our family and guests. If you're looking for great food, solid presentation, and someone who shows up when it counts, I'd definitely recommend Lasalle Events. read more

We had the pleasure of having Chef Alfonoso Walker come to our home as a special Mother's Day gift, and it was truly an unforgettable experience.

The meal he prepared was absolutely delicious--one of the best we've ever had. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. We were beyond impressed and so grateful for the experience.

I hired Chef Alphonso and his wife (I apologize that I can't remember her name) to cook dinner for my family one night while we were in Orlando for a family vacation.

The food was absolutely amazing! The grandkids said it was the best chicken that they ever had. They also left the kitchen spotless! I would highly recommend them. read more
