Meghan and her team was fantastic!!!!!

I have used Chowgirls for multiple of my clients events but I worked with them again this past Friday for a client's wedding and Meghan their event manager was FANTASTIC! She was attentive and "on" during the entire duration of the event. The groom even had very severe dietary restrictions and she paid extra attention to make sure he was taken care of in a way that went above and beyond. Her and her team did a 12/10 job!!!!!

Absolute Best!

We hired Chowgirls for our wedding at Solar Arts Building on 9/25/21 and we couldn't have had a better experience! Our guests raved about how good the food was and the professionalism of their team blew us away. Our wedding was so amazing and we could not have pulled it off without them! Thank you!!

Amazing, high quality, no stress

My experience with Chowgirls at Solar Arts was phenomenal the whole way through. Jenna went above and beyond to ensure all our wants and needs were met. Not to mentioned, we postponed our wedding due to the COVID pandemic, and Jenna was still there for us every step of the way. Jenna made everything such a breeze for us and she was extremely organized and succinct throughout the process. We were extremely happy with the service we received and knew the money we were spending went toward high quality services, food, drinks, etc. Jenna and her team took care of everything and my husband and I did not have to stress or worry about the small things that do add up. It was priceless to see the looks and joys of our guests during our reception as everything came together.
