"Chris & Natacha are AMAZING!! As people, they are so kind, funny, and lovely to deal with, with super fast communication and so so accommodating for dietary requirements. As chefs, the food was INCREDIBLE! Better than we imagined AND we had high expectations. They had many personal touches, and everyone at our wedding loved their dishes. Highly highly recommend!!!"
