    Simply the best!

    Chef Covas and her team are amazing. Super helpful and attentive throughout the entire process. Service for 60 was flawless and every item brought out was met with rave reviews. The servers were beyond wonderful. If you need an event catered, stop your searching here and go with Chef Covas.

    Absolutely loved them!

    We hired Chef Covas for our medium (~150) sized wedding this summer and were THRILLED with the entire experience. Chef Covas and her team pulled together an absolutely beautiful event! Everyone we encountered from her team was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely customer driven.

    The food was wonderful - we had 8-10 passed appetizers, huuuuge mediterranean/charcuterie spread, a full plated dinner, and assortment of desserts. Our guests raved about the food! My husband and I have been in the restaurant industry for years so the quality of the food for our wedding was critical and they blew it out of the park. Steaks not overcooked, chicken not dry, fish was flavorful and fresh. I wish I could go back to my own wedding just to eat!

    We also hired Chef Covas as a day of coordinator; after 4+ years of being engaged and moving the wedding twice (thanks COVID) I just genuinely did not have the capacity to manage the event; Lauren stepped in and really made the whole night perfect. Everything looked beautiful, Lauren is super personable and easy to work with, our families really liked her and everyone was relieved not to have to think about much! Having the caterer also be DOC was a good choice since the two roles are intertwined so closely.

    I would hire Chef Covas again in a heartbeat - we had a truly lovely experience! 10/10.

    Chef covas was the best choice we made for our wedding catering. She made the process super easy, we gave her a budget and an idea and she came up with a menu fully customizable to our likes. She is very professional and responsable when it came to the time of delivery. Food was delicious and the set up was impeccable, she made our wedding cake too! which was exactly how we wanted it. Everybody enjoyed the food and we were very happy that we had the chance to offer our guests such an amazing food. I will definitely use chef covas’s services again.

    This is the 3rd thanksgiving I’ve catered from Chef Covas. Unfortunately my husband was urgently hospitalized and I had to cancel my Thanksgiving. I called them and they were so kind and thoughtful and carved the whole turkey so I could freeze it. Not only is the food always yummy delicious, their customer service is top notch. I will continue to have them cater my holidays!!!! Thanks again

    Chef Covas and her team are amazing. We had a backyard wedding and the food looked very elegant and the service was great. She was very flexible and provided great suggestions to make our party very personal. Most importantly the food was amazing and I am still hearing from my guests about how much they enjoyed everything. I highly recommend her services! Thank you for making our wedding special!

    There is no better than Chef Covas, her staff met everyone of our needs and went above all our expectations. I did my daughters bridal shower and I did not have to worry about one thing she took care of all the details and executed the event exactly how I wanted it to go. All the food was amazing and you can see that it was homemade and fresh! I highly recommend Chef Covas and will be using them again!

    Lauren and her team from chef covas totally exceeded my expectations for my daughters beach themed graduation party. From the food to the servers all was seamless. Food was excellent and presented beautifully by the way. I was planning this party from out of state and she took care of all the details. I was truly able to enjoy this special event . I would highly recommend her services.

    I hired Chef Covas Catering for my daughters college graduation party. We had over 50 people. Our party was at 1pm and the caterer arrived punctually at 10 am to set up and prepare for the event. I was so happy with the overall party. Not only was I able to enjoy myself and not worry about keeping things moving and everything clean, the food was delicious and professionally displayed. All my guests raved about the food. We had a fantastic antipasto and various dips as appetizers and my favorite, pigs in a blanket. The chicken bruscetta was outstanding (even the day after). It was never dry and was very tasty. The taco bar was a huge hit too with all ages. The themed cake was the best cake I ever had -- extremely fresh! I strongly recommend you hire Chef Covas -- you'll be glad you did.

    Chef Covas catered my engagement party and it was absolutely stunning! The food was delicious!! Our guests could not get over how amazing their lobster Mac n cheese is! Chef Covas also made the most beautiful display for the cheese and veggie table. Her servers were warm and friendly :) I am still hearing rave reviews of our engagement party. I would recommend her for any event you may be planning. They even coordinated the tent, table and seating as well as the bar and layout for the entire event. Can't wait to plan our next event with Chef Covas Catering!!!

    Chef Covas was a delight to work with. This was a corporate lunch for 200 employees. Chef Covas did a great job by making several ethnic dishes which was loved and devoured by my employees. The delivery of the food was timely and all the set up was done very professionally. The amount of food served was more than great value for the $. Chef Covas, thank you for making my employees happy.

    Chef Covas catering was wonderful. She was easy to work with, had great ideas and custom built a menu to my preference. The food was fabulous and the presentation was beautiful. I highly recommend her and I have even used her again myself for another party. I will use her next time I am in need of a caterer as well.

    Lauren and all her staff of Chef Covas Catering completely exceeded our expectations for the best day of our lives. She was very creative and resourceful in the conception and execution of our cocktail hour and reception. Lauren confidently took care of so many details that we were too overwhelmed to handle, everything from rose pedals on each table to coordinating all vendors. The reception area was absolutely stunning, all thanks to Lauren and her staff. We are still getting compliments on how delicious the food was; we haven't been to a comparable wedding since! We will definitely use them for our future catering needs!

    Horrible, unfortunately it was my wedding.

    From food, service and pricing. I felt led on, neglected and dismissed. Regret using this company for my wedding
