Chef's Garden Catering & Events

I am considered a foodie amongst my friends and family, so I knew I had to show up and show out with the food we booked for our wedding. Chef's Garden absolutely delivered on every point of service. They were incredibly accommodating to my every request and change throughout the months of planning, their menu is diverse and truly has something that would appeal to every palate, and their staff is top notch professional. We went with a plated dinner and had 3 different entrees (one vegan), 5 hors d'oeuvres, and 2 speciality drinks, and they were all spoken of very highly by our guests. It's been a little less than a month and we are still being told that our food was absolutely delicious. The cornbread in particular (which comes with the artisan bread starter) was a huge hit! This company truly cares about your input and will not nickel and dime you or promise you things that they cannot do. They put their best foot forward with every interaction we had with them and left us feeling the utmost confidence in them for our wedding day. We had an excellent experience from start to finish with Chef's Garden and I would HIGHLY recommend them to any bride or event planner searching for a caterer!

I have worked with Chef's Garden in a professional capacity for years, but recently had the absolute pleasure of having them cater my wedding this past April 2026. The attention to detail, care from staff, and delicious food is UNMATCHED to any other formal caterer in Jacksonville. Elizabeth was incredible from start to finish to help with menu ideas and adjustments, Lindsay was hands on the day of my wedding to make sure every detail was executed flawlessly, and our Event Captain Chad was especially attentive to my husband and I throughout our reception making sure we never had an empty drink in our hands. We received so many compliments on the food from our family and friends, and I will be continuously recommending them to my clients!

Chefs Gargen catered our daughter and son in laws wedding at The Yards recently . The food and service went beyond our expectations. 100% 5 start dinner and apps . The filet was cooked to perfection and the chicken Milanese was absolutely delicious. Our vegetarians loved the eggplant ! They served 150 people so quickly with kindness and were incredibly attentive to our quests. Hands down the best caterers in the northeast. At the end of the night Elizabeth very kindly packed some dinners for the newlyweds to take home which they had for the next two days and throughly enjoyed!! If you want to have your quests thrilled with your party hire Chefs Garden. From the first phone call they were so very helpful. Lindsay and Elizabeth are the absolute best. Love this company.

Absolutely one of the best parts of our entire wedding! We kept getting so many compliments on the food at our wedding and the service was SUPERB! We were happily greeted by every single staff member at our wedding and they set everything up perfectly with no hiccups. Extremely professional and so wonderful to us on our day. The staff members saved us some of our (beautiful by the way) cheese board since we were taking photos during the cocktail hour and I was SHOCKED by how gorgeous the display was that they set up! Literally the most amazing vendor we had all day and I cannot sing their praises enough

The food at Chef's Garden is amazing! All of our guests were raving about the food regardless of what they got (the fish, chicken or steak). They were also awesome at helping us brainstorm ideas. We brought up that we would love to have a late night snack available for our guests so they had something to munch on that was hearty while the bar was still open. Elizabeth came up with an amazing late night snack bar with pretzels with cheese and popcorn so that our guests could have something to munch on throughout the evening after dinner. Our guests loved it! One of our guests even made a video about how excited he was for the late night snack bar. The team is incredibly responsive with any questions that you have. The servers were so kind and helpful at the event. The tasting before the wedding was really well done and showcased the presentation of the food as well as having the opportunity to taste the food. We could not have asked for a better team of people to work with to make sure we had the best quality food and service for our guests.
