Santa Cruz Mountains

Working with Chef Mark was a pleasure, really! I appreciated the fact that he returned my emails the same day, typically within the same hour. He was also readily available by phone. He was consistently professional and offered great suggestions. Our wedding was held at a friend’s home in the Santa Cruz mountains and one of his staff, Summer, met us prior to the wedding to walk through the property. We appreciated this as we were able to get a lot of our questions answered. The day of our wedding Mark and his crew came in and just started handling everything in a flash! Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food (the veggie lasagne is amazing!). Throughout the evening his staff were very attentive to guests, passing apps and drinks. I would highly recommend working with Chef Mark as I cannot think of one negative thing to say! One of the guests is hoping to hire Mark this fall for a surprise birthday party at her home. She saw how great he was to work with! 5 stars all around!
