    An unforgettable evening

    We booked the Culinary Curate for an intimate buffet style wedding celebration this summer. No rainy weather could have ruined the experience. Charmaine and her team made sure every guest had a wonderful time. From the early planning days of timely communication to clean up time following the event, Charmaine and her team’s execution was exemplary. Aside from delicious food, we were treated like family. Charmaine was assertive and professional when she needed to be as well as creative and accommodating at the time of the event. Thanks for such a memorable evening!

    Thank you, Mariya! It was a pleasure working with you. All the best, Charmaine

    We booked Charmaine in less than 1 month of our wedding for rentals of linen and silverware however we decided to booked them as our caterer. Though is time is so tight she still manage to accommodate us and on the wedding day, she went above and beyond on their service. She made sure that everything is being taking cared. I HIGHLY recommend her and refer her to my friends Thanks Charmaine!!!! God bless
