*Amazing! Chef Jay came all the way to New York to cater our rehearsal and wedding. Everything was delicious!! He is very professional and detail oriented, not to mention very knowledgeable and friendly. The presentation and layout of the food was spectacular. From the Hors D'oeuvres to the 48 hour slow cooked brisket, macaroni bar, potato salad and tossed salad had everyone coming back for seconds. From the time Chef Jay arrived, the service was exceptional and worry free. We would highly recommend Chef Jay to anyone looking for a top notch caterer.

*Chef Jay is absolutely amazing!! We asked him to suggest a meal for our annual event and he met the challenge with a superb meal and within our budget! The 52 hour cooked brisket absolutely wowed every person, the smoked chicken was a great second protein selection, German potato salad was truly "authentic", and the green beans were heavenly. Everyone, and I mean everyone, raved and posts and emails poured in with compliments and "will he come again"? You bet your boots we'll want him back!! Thanks Chef Jay for an unbelievable eating experience.....yuuuum

*Chef Jay Events recently catered one of my good friend's weddings and the food and service was AMAZING. I plan events for my company and have seen many a caterer in my day (some good, some not so good) and Jay and his team were absolutely top notch! They were cordial, timely and extremely helpful throughout the entire evening. The food was truly superb, as was the presentation and variety of dishes. You can hire Jay and his team with full confidence that you will be taken care of the evening of your event!

*Wow, just wow! Having received a recommendation from a friend for Chef Jay Events, I called him up to inquire about him catering our wedding. From the moment we had our first phone conversation, I knew that I had found my caterer. Jay is one of the nicest, most sincere, accommodating, laid-back people I've ever spoken with and his food is absolutely out of this world! I was married at Zilker Park Clubhouse with an orange, near full-moon rising behind the glittering Austin skyline, and although that received some compliments, the thing I heard about most all evening was the food!
I selected the following items, wanting a buffet of foods folks could graze on throughout the evening as they milled about: Bacon-Wrapped Dates with Sage, Wagyu Sliders with Aged Cheddar, Caprese Salad Skewers (vegan), Stuffed Baby Bella Mushrooms (veggie), Chimichurri Chicken Skewers, Fresh Fruit and Cheese Skewers, Thick Cut Potato Chip with Goat Cheese, Spiced Walnuts, and Roasted Red Peppers (veggie), Endive Leaf with Blue Cheese, Bacon, and Onion Jam, Crostini with Kalamata Tapenade, Feta, and Sun-Dried Tomato (veggie), and Giant Asparagus wrapped in Puff Pastry and Parmesan (veggie). Each and every item was mouth-wateringly delicious!!
Jay and his staff were professional, friendly, fun, kind, and went way beyond the extra mile to ensure my guests, best "helper" friends who were helping the wedding flow, and of course, myself and the groom, were never without food, drink, an extra hand (or 6), or a smile.
I can't say enough about the exceptional level of service we received, and recommend Chef Jay for ANY of your future catering needs. He is an absolute gem. Book him while you can before everyone figures out he is the best there is.

*Jay was flat out AMAZING! My husband and I were so fortunate to have found him for our special day! He is so talented and creative. We had a tight budget and many things we wanted which typically don’t mix, you either stick to your budget or get everything you want. Jay made it work. He designed a fantastic meal plan to accommodate our budget but that would still feel elegant and “up to par” for a wedding the food was some of the best I have ever eaten! He also made custom drink mixes for our cocktails…we had four: old, new, borrowed, and blue. When I told him this was something we wanted his imagination and talent kind of exploded old, new, and even borrowed are kind of the easy ones…but BLUE…what to do for BLUE…Jay does Blueberry Limoncello!!! EVERYONE loved that drink, I had so many people come and ask me about what it was and where I got it…they were hooked!
Also, something totally outside the catering wheelhouse, with only 2 weeks until the wedding, my DJ backs out…I told Jay (because he will inevitably become your friend through this process he is so easy to talk to!) and he had like 5 recommendations and contact information to me within a few hours! I can’t say enough about Jay; such a professional and extremely talented! You'll regret passing him up without a doubt!

*We decided to hire Chef Jay to cater our annual Oscar Party, even though I couldn't find any reviews. I am so glad I did! Chef Jay prepared many delicious foods that Wolfgang Puck actually served at the Oscars this year, and each and every bite was delicious! Everyone at the party was very impressed with Chef Jay's skill, professionalism, charm, and with the quality of food that was served. We will definitely ask Chef Jay to cater our next event!

*Thank you guys so much from the bottom of our hearts for your love, support, and hard work, to make our wedding perfect. From the very first meeting, we felt like family, and it made all the difference in the world. The venue, accommodations, property, and catering were all perfect. Thank you for providing the extra food at the last minute, allowing late check out, and for being so joyful and flexible on all fronts. You got rave reviews from every person who attended, and provided perfect memories for us that we will never forget. We hope it was a lovely experience for all of you, and that we can make another visit soon...

*The wedding turned out wonderfully!! Everything was perfect, including the weather. God is good.
Your place is fabulous. You left out nothing.-everything right there for us to use for the wedding this weekend. Thank you for letting us in on Friday; no way we could have done all that Saturday morning. It was quite a job, but it turned out to be a wonderful wedding!!! We were quite pleased.
Thanks again for all your help along the way. I look forward to seeing you again!

The positive responses keep coming in about the great time everyone had at Highpoint Manor Inn last weekend! With such a comfortable and inviting place to stay, it felt like home...even better!

Jay, thank you for going that extra step in providing an elegant and delicious buffet luncheon. Your suggestions and interpretations were so helpful, and the entire luncheon was so wonderfully memorable.
We certainly look forward to a return visit (with spouses!), and will always continue to recommend you.
