We repurposed all our flowers and rentals from our ceremony to our reception and the transitions were flawless. Her professional relationship with OceanCliff helped to ensure we were able to create an entirely new floor plan in their ballroom specific to our wedding needs and wishes. I had dozens of guests say to me, "I have never seen such beautiful flower arrangements", this happened all night and after the wedding too. They were absolutely stunning arrangements. The colors were exactly what I asked and envisioned. Amazingly, the arrangements lasted for more than week after the wedding. Toni, listens and is supported by a great team that help her bring it all to life. Ali, her assistant was very responsive to all my questions through the entire planning process. The week of the wedding I gave Toni my Grandmother's antique hat pins as my "something borrowed" to add to my bouquet. They looked so beautiful and meant a lot to me and my Grandmother who could not attend the wedding. It was a last minute detail that Toni was happy to accomodate. I highly recommend Toni Chandler and would use her again for any floral needs I have in the future.

I literally cannot give her enough praise - impeccable taste, so wonderful and friendly, and just an absolute slam dunk. As we paraded down Thames Street to our reception, many folks shouted congratulations, but every now and then someone would yell out 'love the bouquet!' That's when you know Toni's a total genius.

Simply put: Chris is THE MAN. Stop whatever you are doing, call him, and get him in your house…read more Now. My sister got my mother and I a gift certificate for Christmas 2009 for 'personal chef services.' She had heard of this dude from some friends, and since my mother and I are very much into eating, drinking, and being merry, this was a perfect present. According to his press packet, we had the choice of hosting a dinner party, taking private culinary classes with Chris (knife skills, learning basic sauces, creating a meal step by step right beside him), or having him prepare us a series of meals for the week that he will package up and be ready for heating whenever we wanted. We didn't get around to scheduling something with Chris until November 2010. We decided to do a simple dinner party. Chris was super-easy to work with regarding scheduling, and then went over and above the necessary service in designing the perfect menu for our party of five. Despite a shellfish allergy, a nut allergy, one guy who doesn't eat most vegetables, and a mushroom hater -- he put together a menu that made all five of our mouths water. On the day of the party, he arrived at my mother's house three hours early to prep. At first, because she has an open kitchen, dining room, and living room set-up I thought it was going to be weird to have Chris cooking and all of us lounging around, chatting about everything from can-can dance to cancer, and drinking in his earshot. It couldn't have been better. Chris was personable, chill, and really easy to talk to PLUS he was a total ninja in the kitchen and prepared a four-course meal from scratch without so much as a clang of a pan. The best part: the food was INCREDIBLE! Appetizer: Sausage, peppers and white bean ragout over Asiago polenta Pasta: Penne alla Vodka - Penne tossed with pancetta in a light vodka tomato cream and topped with parmagiana. Entrée: Choice of Garlic and Fennel-Encrusted Filet Mignon topped with Gorgonzola and Pancetta Chip OR Veal Osso Buco in wine and tomatoes topped with gremolata Sides: Cabernet-Saffron Risotto, Rosemary-Honey Cream, Seared Garlicky Spinach Dessert: Cannoli di Ricotta with Espresso Sauce and Orange Marmellata The second best part: This cost $60 PER PERSON! (We also tipped Chris because we were so happy with the service. It is not required, but I can't imagine not tipping him. He was just so AWESOME!) Not only is working with Chris a pleasure, but he is a hugely talented chef that was more than willing to personalize his art and work to fit our goals, AND it's a great value! Not to mention that I got to chill in the comfort of my mother's home...so it was much easier to pass out on the couch to let my full, happy belly settle!

My last year of school I hired Chris to prepare meals from me so that when I came home from work I…read morecould eat quick and get to studying. It was the best decision I ever made. First he met with me and did an extensive interview about what I liked to eat, what I didn't like to eat and what I was willing to try. Every other week Chris would come to my condo on Monday while I was at work and prepare individual meals and leave them in my freezer. They were all labeled and ready to go. I would come home from work and pop one in the microwave and get to my schoolwork. The food was always amazing and and my kitchen looked better after he left than before he came...seriously. Chris can cook anything- my brother in law took a day long cooking class with him and said it was one of the best ever. Hire Chris. You won't be sorry.
