Joelle and Miriam were truly the most incredible coordinators. They were so on top of the planning as we approached the wedding and helped us keep all the details straight, make timelines, communicate with vendors, and make sure nothing important was forgotten. On the day of, they were prepared for everything, made sure the day ran smoothly, and took all of the stress away so we could just be present and enjoy the day. The catering was AMAZING - the food was incredible and all of our guests were absolutely thrilled. The charcuterie table was absolutely everything, and they even set aside a personal tray for us to make sure we got the chance to eat at cocktail hour! The pizza was truly wonderful, and they did an amazing job of coordinating personal pizzas for our guests with allergies. Our friends and family are still raving about our pizza wedding! We are so incredibly happy with our experience with Wooden Paddle, thank you so much for the most wonderful wedding!!

I've been to Cooking Canvas many times to cook with family and friends, always a great time,…read moredelicious food; wonderful chef and staff and warm friendly vibes. Cooking Canvas really holds a special place in my family and I heart because I remember when it first opened and we were so excited to attend our first local cooking class event that didn't involve us having to drive all the way downtown or to the north side. So we've attended classes here and hosted many private events here. Always a great time. BYOB and music.

Both were very personable and patient with our loud and sometimes rowdy bunch. We made 6 drinks and had appetizers for our group of 10. Everything was laid out perfectly and the quality of the mixers and ingredients was good. I appreciated the music and back drop to take pictures. If I ever want to have another party of this type, I'd definitely come back. Perfect place for a date night or kids cooking Party, too. Overall, great experience!!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Pear Tree Catering's food. My office has catered from Pear…read moreTree for a number of years so I've been fortunate enough to be able to try many of the delicious items that they offer. I love the amazing presentation across all items I've seen -- many times exceeding what I've ever seen at weddings. They also provide wonderful cards with descriptions and dietary indicators that look great and are very informative. What really stands out here though is the food quality. All the fruits and vegetables I've had, whether it be in a fruit tray, salad, grilled veggies, etc. are top notch. Generally I won't go towards fresh produce when given other options, but Pear Tree has won me over with their absolutely delicious items. Even items such as breadsticks and crackers with a mix of cheese are absolutely delicious, where the commitment to sourcing quality ingredients is evident with every bite. Salads are also incredibly good here, with fresh greens that are nice and crisp and nice juicy tomatoes and other items like cheese, nuts, fruits, etc. that once again show their commitment to top notch ingredients. Overall, I'm glad that we do so much corporate catering with Pear Tree Catering. Employees are genuinely excited every time they bring in delicious food to the office, as they are consistently excellent across the board with all their offerings

I didn't feel the need to call because I was there and they were not and it shows me that they are not reliable. No way am I giving this company over $1000 and they not be reliable. I will find someone else to cater my cocktail hour. Their loss not mine.

After cooking for 10 hours on Thanksgiving, I vowed I'd never do that again. Ever. And this meal…read moremade sure I won't have to. Chef Aleta completely saved our Christmas. The deep-fried turkey was hands down the best turkey I've ever had. I've never seen a turkey stay that juicy, especially after reheating. The juice was literally dripping as I carved it. I usually avoid turkey altogether but this one changed my mind and had me going back for seconds (and thirds, no shame). The mac and cheese was rich and creamy (not mushy... and I am picky about my noodles), the candied yams were perfect, the cornbread dressing was delicious, and the collard greens were seasoned just right. The gravy was amazing, and even the cranberry sauce was spot on. Everything reheated beautifully in about an hour, which meant I got to actually relax instead of spending the day chained to the stove. Chef Aleta was also wonderful to work with. She was organized, helpful, and accommodating with dietary requests. She made everything easy from start to finish. We also added a roasted veggie tray, which has been amazing so far. About to go home and dig into that! My mom's exact words at the end of the meal were, "So... when is the next eating holiday so we can order again?" Honestly, same. Did I mention she DELIVERED it to me?

The food was cold and inedible, the staff did not have the proper ingredients to make the Mimosas, and the so called Jazz was one young adult on his trumpet! The only reason it is rated a 1star is the venue where it was held was beautiful! Shame on you for doing this to Black Mothers. It seems that you were not prepared to handle an event of this magnitude and you have a long way to go to prove that you are capable of handling this as a professional business.
