Robin Howe was recommended to us from our wedding venue, and I couldnt be more grateful that we decided to go with his company for our wedding. Planning a wedding is never easy, but planning a wedding during a pandemic is a whole other story. Robin was so helpful and accommodating to us throughout the whole process. We participated in a DELICIOUS tasting prior to the wedding, and then Robin and his amazing staff provided the most perfect meal to us and our guests on our big day. Robin worked with us to create a menu that was enjoyed by everyone, he took into consideration any of our guests

Robin was a pleasure to work with. He understood our vision clearly and was able to add his own flare to make it even better. He used all locally sourced & mainly organic ingredients with garnishes from his own garden. Our pre-event tasting was personal and fully customized. Robin was very open to all feedback on our taste preferences. He was very understanding about the covid rule challenges and ever changing numbers. He never held it against us, and always looked out for our best interest. His pricing for food and staff is accurate and honest. His staff were professional, clean and timely
