Chef Michael and his team prepared heavy hors d'oeuvres for our 100 person wedding party and it went absolutely perfect! Not only did the food taste great but all of our guests left happy and full. Judy was an absolute please to work with and at the end of all this I am so lucky to be able to call her a friend. I highly recommend using the Chef Michael team for your next event!

One of the BEST Caterers I have every worked with! I had to pleasure of using Chef Michael's Catering to provide eight meals for the Asheville Tourists. All the meals were fantastic. The players enjoyed the food, and I enjoyed the variety offered, fair price, and quality. I am very meticulous about food and caterers, and I had absolutely no complaints. Chef Michael and Judy were wonderful to work with! Let them take care of you for your next event, wedding, or any occasion. You will not regret it.

Chef Michael's Catering prepared and served a wonderful buffet of heave hors d'oeuvres this week at a corporate networking event that I hosted in Asheville, NC at Highland Brewing Company. Judy did great job assisting me in planning the menu for the event and then she took it from there. My guests were impressed by the variety and quality of the food items.

The serving team took care of every detail and worked tirelessly through the event to ensure all the guests had a great experience. I recommend Chef Michael's catering for anyone planning an event in the Asheville area.

I just love this team! Chef Michael just helped us celebrate an awesome anniversary party - with the same warm, delicious, and Very professional service we savored at our wedding years ago. I actually hail from a restaurant and catering family, so admittedly, my standards are high, and yes, yes, I so enjoyed this experience. This team is also excellent at customizing a creative menu that well accommodates food allergies/sensitivities. It was a joy to work with Judy in planning and serving our special party. Thank you!

Everything about my experience with Chef Michael's Catering exceeded expectations. They prepared an intimate dinner for my parents' 50th anniversary, and it was perfection! Judy helped me develop a menu that was thoughtful and creative, and Chef Michael's presentation and creation was not only delicious, but balanced and beautiful. We will be using Chef Michael for every occasion in the future. I cannot recommend enough!

Chef Michael was the caterer we used for our son's wedding in November 2019. They did a fabulous job! We had a theme menu in honor of the bride and groom who are from Colombia, South America and Louisiana, respectively. The food was absolutely fabulous and everything went off without a hitch. They were also very flexible about the venue which kept changing because our house, which we were going to originally use, was not ready. Judy, Michael's wife and business partner, was able to make this change happen, which we so appreciated.

Everyone at the wedding raved about the food! Judy even helped us with the presentation of the cake, which we ordered from Whole Foods - going above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you Chef Michael, Judy and staff for helping us have a fabulous celebration!

Enjoyed Chef Michael's offerings last evening at the networking function sponsored by Incredible Towns and Jonas Gerard Studio. This is the way catered food should taste and served. They have set the bar in quality and professionalism that will be difficult to exceed.

I had my first but definitely not my last experience with Chef Michaels Catering. They hosted and catered an event at the Meadows Blake House for the Asheville Wedding Vendors. Their home was stunning! It was an amazing night filled with fun, laughter and most importantly was the fabulous food. I can't stop thinking about that trout dip!

Great party for our daughter's birthday. Highly recommend Chef Michael and everyone associated. Judy was of great help in planning and the server was not only professional but did not need direction. Everything they did as a group was perfect. Thank you.

Chef Michael did an outstanding job at my wedding all of my guests were so impressed with the food and service. Judy not only went the extra mile to make sure my linens were perfect and table setting was perfect, but she was a warm smile after the ceremony congratulating us and offering us waters. Service was beyond my expectations. I'm so. pleased I chose Chef Michael to cater my wedding! Still over a mouth later my friends and family are still raving about the food, and decorations. Really impressive for a great price! Would love to attend a cooking class.
