It was fantastic working with Jesse. She was enthusiastic about supporting my Atomic, retro-futuristic themed wedding for 100 people and made it even better than I had envisioned. She easily handled my guests wide-ranging collection of allergies and dietary requirements. The vegans told me they'd never eaten so well at a group event! And that's important to me. Jesse is highly professional and emotionally flexible, and checked every box and then some. I'd love to work with Jesse again. I highly recommend her business.

Chef Jessie provided us with excellent service! She was punctual, professional, polite, and very responsible. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed everything she prepared so much that I’m actually planning to hire her again this year for another party. I can’t wait to enjoy her amazing cooking again!

I was incredibly happy with my experience with A Wayfaring Chef. Jessie curated a specialized menu specific to my event and participants. The food was beyond amazing-both is taste and presentation. She consulted with me on who was coming, what I was looking for and then delivered beyond what I could have hoped for. Everyone was amazed with the food and it made my event even more special. In addition, she was always responsive if I had a question or wanted to check in. On the day of the event she was right on time and set everything up perfectly. I know people have a lot of choices, but in my opinion you need to look no further. 5 stars!

I hired Chef Jessie to cook a traditional New England clam bake for my birthday party. She was so communicative through the entire process and made my party feel so special. She not only cooked delicious food but her presentation was absolutely stunning. She delivered perfectly on everything I had asked for and I will definitely be hiring her again for my next party!

Chef Jesse is fantastic! Im an event planner and needed to lock down many vendors for my client. After communicating with several, Jesse’s communication and responsiveness stood out. We recommended her to our client and booked her for our event. We were NOT disappointed. During our details call with Jesse, it was clear she was dedicated to getting every detail down specifically. On the day of she was punctual and the food looked amazing. If you want a complete professional with reliability, Chef Jesse is your best option. We are already exploring a future event with her now! She will also help you determine your menu. You will not be disappointed!

Chef Jessie did an amazing job for our party! I spent a long time looking for the perfect chef or catering company for our party. Catering companies have little flexibility to customize and other chefs didn’t see right for the job. Food is so crucial at a party and after reading Chef Jessie’s reviews and talking to her I felt confident she was right for the job. I totally made the right decision. She was able to take the menu I suggested and totally elevate it! The food was delicious and the set up was beautiful. Everyone raved about it! I highly recommend Chef Jessie and will definitely use again!

It was an excellent experience! Wayfaring helped me with my birthday event and they cooked delicious food! We are international students from Asia, but their food and desserts were so good that everyone loves them so much! Their service is excellent too! They are really professional and serve food real quick! I will book them for my upcoming event for sure!

Jessie provided an amazing array of appetizers for my husband’s 60th birthday. Everyone was raving about the food during the event and after. Her crew was wonderful and we couldn’t have been happier! I look forward to using her again in the future

Jessie and her crew were fabulous to work with... great to quickly communicate back and forth with me as we planned our entire wedding from Tennessee. Her food was impeccable, beautiful presentation and delicious! Everyone was very impressed with her work! I recommend her to anyone wanting just that special touch on for catering needs!
