    From booking to event, the team was professional and made everything so easy! I am Argentinian and…read moremy fiancée and I wanted to share this experience with our friends and family. We hired them for our engagement party of 65 people and added the vegetables to Menu 2. It was awesome to see how they set up early and spent time making sure the food was perfect. Each guest RAVED about the food and went back for multiple rounds. There was something for everyone.Pricing was absolutely fair and couldn't have gotten a better caterer for our event and we are sad that it is over. Thank you to Marcelo and Gabriel for everything!

    We booked Martin Fierro Asado (MFA) for our wedding in March because we wanted a unique and…read morememorable experience for our guests. Having Martin and his team cooking on-site was a key part of our vision, so much so that we specifically searched across Los Angeles and surrounding areas to find a venue that could accommodate their setup requirements, including the 7-hour preparation time and outdoor space they needed. Leading up to the event, MFA was great, they were responsive, communicative, and easy to work with. Unfortunately, our experience on the wedding day was very different. We later learned that Martin had threatened to leave midway through cooking, which was extremely concerning. Additionally, both our venue staff and other catering staff mentioned that MFA was difficult to work with that day. While the food itself was excellent, the service fell short of what was promised. Our contract included two courses: First course: ribs, sausage, chicken, empanadas, and salads Second course: tri-tip/steak The second course was never properly served to our guests. When guests returned for the steak, they were told service was over and staff had already begun cleaning up. Some guests even tried requesting steak during the first course and were denied. To our knowledge, only maybe one or two guests were able to receive steak after insisting. We had also rented chafing dishes so that leftover food could be made available later in the evening. However, only chicken and salads were placed out, no beef. We didn't realize the extent of this issue until the day after the wedding. When we went to retrieve leftovers, we found multiple full trays of food, including large portions of uncut steak and ribs. There was clearly more than enough food to serve all guests the second course, yet it was never distributed. Many guests later told us the food was amazing--some of the best wedding food they've had--but also shared disappointment that they never received the advertised beef course. This was especially frustrating since our menu cards specifically instructed guests to "save room" for it. After the event, we learned that Martin had a planned medical procedure the following day. While we understand personal circumstances arise, it felt like the service was cut short so the team could leave early. This resulted in an estimated $2,000 worth of food going to waste, food that could have been served, offered to guests to take home, or at minimum communicated to us. Overall, while the food quality was outstanding, the execution and service on the day of the event were deeply disappointing and did not meet expectations for a wedding of this scale (160 guests).

    Aimer by Marie is excellent - awesome all around chef experience. We loved our French/Vietnamese…read morecooking lesson and delicious meal! Working with and learning from Chef Marie was a 5 star experience! Marie did an outstanding job of helping us celebrate my wife's birthday by teaching our family how to prepare a delicious French/Vietnamese meal, and the entire experience was fun and delightful. She offered many options for the menu and helped me select a spectacular assortment of flavors! From beginning to end, working with Marie was easy, professional and wonderful. She was punctual, communicative, budget friendly, and provided great ideas for our menu and is an excellent teacher. We learned to cook shrimp spring rolls, gyoza, her magic delicious sauce, Seabass, mushroom risotto, and Creme Brule. Each item was fun to prepare and turned out perfectly! Marie was a pleasure to be with, our kids loved the experience, and she cleaned up everything to perfection. We strongly recommend Aimer by Marie and cannot wait to have her out again to teach us French pastries, and more!

From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and far exceeded my expectations--especially as this was my first time hiring a private chef. Chef Marie was incredibly responsive and easy to work with during the booking process, which immediately put me at ease. On the day of the event, she arrived right on time and brought such a warm, kind, and professional presence into the home. The food itself was outstanding--beautifully prepared, thoughtfully executed, and absolutely delicious. You could truly taste the quality and care in every dish. What impressed me even more was how much she handled behind the scenes. She prepared much of the meal in advance, served everything effortlessly, and left the kitchen spotless. It allowed me to fully relax and enjoy the time with my family, which is truly priceless. This was a 5-star experience in every sense, and I would not hesitate to book Chef Marie again for future gatherings. If you're considering a private chef for any occasion, I wholeheartedly recommend her--you will not be disappointed.
