We absolutely love having Nik as our at-home personal chef! We've been working with him for nearly…read more6 months now, and he comes twice a week to prepare all of our family's meals. Honestly, we don't know what we'd do without him. Nik is not only talented, but he's also wonderful with our whole family--everyone looks forward to his visits. He provides seasonal menus for us to choose from, arranges for all the ingredients to be added to our Instacart before he arrives, and then comes in and works his magic. When he's done, we have a clean kitchen and a fridge full of delicious, healthy meals ready to enjoy. The price is very fair for the incredible service, convenience, and quality meals we get. I would highly recommend Nik to anyone looking for a personal chef who truly makes life easier and tastier!

MadeByRk is amazing! We were recently married after several years of postponements due to Covid and…read morethe loss of some family members...it was a tough time for us. Throughout it all, Renée was with us every step of the way during all the ups and downs. She was kind, flexible and very supportive. It really is a testament to how much she cares about her clients. Not only did we find an amazing level of service with MadeByRk, but we experienced a true partnership and friendship as well. When the happy day finally arrived, Renée and her team made us feel so comfortable and at ease (even helping calm a mini meltdown with a much needed hug and alleviating any and all Covid concerns). She helped coordinate everything, including seating charts (she even measured the venue to make sure all the tables and chairs would fit), day of stationery, making sure our vibe and theme came through and bespoke food stations with the most pleasant and thoughtful attendants. The food was great, especially the cake and desserts (her buttercream frosted chocolate cake is heavenly and she made these adorable themed cookies just for us). In addition she provided beautiful decorations and flower arrangements, which they set up throughout the whole venue, as well as setting up a lovely champagne toast for us. Then she came back the next day to even help further for all post-event necessities and clean up (including preserving the top of our wedding cake for our anniversary). We can't say enough about her and her team. They made the best day of our life even that much better. Renée and her team have our heartfelt appreciation for everything. Truly one of a kind! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Gluten free options? Check! Sweets? Check! Savory dishes? Check! How does owner Renee manage to pull off all the above and more? I'm not exactly sure, but I'm beginning to think she is a culinary wizard! Give her dishes and treats a try, they are truly amazing. We love the truffle cake, the pecan pie, the various cookies, the savory side dishes, essentially everything. She even takes custom orders for main dishes and cakes. See, I told you she's a wizard.

We were lucky enough to randomly find Chef Kevin and his team just recently when seeking a private…read morechef for a 1-week vacation for ~10 people at an Airbnb in a relatively remote location in upstate NY. From ideation, to custom menu design, to contract reviews, paperwork including proof of insurance, and payment, Kevin was incredibly professional, flexible, responsive, and ultimately was the determining factor in ensuring our family (with young kids) would actually be able to enjoy the vacation without worrying about cooking, ordering in, or carpooling far distances on windy, dark roads. Kevin and team were also dog and kid friendly. Beyond the professionalism, the food and service were absolutely outstanding. It was hard to believe, but each meal was better than the last, as were the quality of the ingredients used. We would recommend Chef Kevin to anyone seeking relative affordability and a great value yet making zero sacrifices around taste, quality, and service. We are happy to write this review and support Kevin. We expect when we reach out for our next family event that Kevin will have a team of 100+. There is no better - Kevin and team won't disappoint.

I received a list of vendors from our synagogue and called all of them. The only one that was genuinely willing to work with me was OnTheMarc. Amanda and Marc understood completely what we were trying to accomplish and our budgetary restrictions. I am not saying it was cheap in any way, but they worked with me to achieve the perfect combination of quality and ample food at a, at least fair and manageable price. And, I have to say the food selection was incredible. I cannot tell you how many of our guests commented about it. However, the experience with On the Marc was so much more than just that. The staff was ample and incredible. EVERYONE was attended to at all times. Jacqui, the on-site lead was not only helpful leading up to the event, but she was invaluable at the event. It took such a load off our shoulders knowing she was there. I would use OnTheMarc over and over again if I could and I recommend them wholeheartedly for any event. I cannot thank them enough for what they did. I didn't want to put on such an expensive affair, but they did something I didn't think was possible - made me happy I did it.
