Good morning Lloyd,
I wanted to let you know that your staff was outstanding on Saturday. The food came out great, on time and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Thought you might want to know. Also I wanted to tell you that is was a pleasure working with your daughter a few weeks ago. The catering and the staff was also fantastic that day. Great job by all job.

We had an offsite wedding in Maine that we used Chef Lloyd and his team to caterer. I introduced myself to chef shortly after he arrived and his personality and hospitality was amazing. He took care of setup and service without any issues even though we were at a campsite with no electricity or running water. And then there was the food…amazing. The shrimp skewers were some of the best I’ve ever had. Chef used sugar cane skewers which added a hint of sweetness to each bite. The filet was cooked and seasoned perfectly as well. All the sides from the salad to the coleslaw were fantastic. Chef thanked my wife and I and had everything cleaned up within minutes. He even left us all the uneaten food on a table. He helped make a terrific day even better. If you ever need food for an event definitely call Chef Lloyd. Amazing job.

We own the Pionner Wedding Barn in Sugar Hill New Hampshire and recently had the pleasure of having the Chalet Caterers at our final wedding of the season. They were professional, courteous, and the food was excellent! We would highly recommend them for any function. They are also THE most reasonably priced caterers we have worked with. Thank you Chef Lloyd and family!
