Sandra and the team were amazing! Sandra helped us identify a delicious menu that paired well with my husband’s bourbon themed party. The food was delicious. The presentation was bourbon-themed and beautiful. As the evening progressed she and her team kept the food flowing, plates cleared, and even provided some bourbon tasting tips. When the night wrapped up, she left the kitchen spotless (in better shape than before the party)! My guests were thrilled, and I received so many compliments on the food, service, and clean up. Truly an amazing night. Thank you!

Reviews
I can’t express how great Sandra is. We booked her for a special event and it was beyond wonderful. I have severe food allergies that she easily accommodated, and her food and service were amazing! I would definitely book her again!
Sandra and her colleague were amazing! The food was insanely good and she provided us with so many options it was easy to serve a group with various specific diets (she also made a couple of extra accommodations as well). She was responsive, kind and the decor she provided (& set up!) was thoughtful and beautiful. 10/10
Working with Sandra was fantastic from start to finish! She was so friendly and creative in our first consultation call, was very responsive during the planning process, flexible with changes that came up, and then prepared an absolutely beautiful and delicious meal for our event. She served us, a Mediterranean inspired meal, with delectable appetizers, scrumptious, family style Manes, and sides, and absolutely divine desserts. I would highly recommend her and use her again in the future!
Sandra was a gem to work with. She created a wonderful, delicious, beautiful event for us. I would absolutely work with her again.
Sandra was a pleasure to work with from the initial discussion, the site visit, all the way up until the day of the event. She is extremely responsive and punctual. Her cuisine was creative, of quality, and tasty! Sandra is a visionary who takes pride in all aspects of her services from design through execution. She really does have you covered so you can sit back and enjoy your event. I highly recommend her services and look forward to future endeavors!
I cannot say enough great things about Sandra and CVC private chef experience. From the beginning she asked a few simple questions about what menu or cuisine we were interested and came up with beautiful options for menu. She not only presented us with a stunning (fresh, vibrant, delicious) dinner - but also an amazing curated cocktail hour bites pre-dinner. She also created a stunning tablescape that was on theme for our weekend. The food was not only plentiful, but truly upscale like fine dining, and tasted absolutely amazing. Her fresh ingredients and attention to detail as a chef is truly phenomenal! I wish I could hire her for my every day meals! Would 200% recommend and hire again!
Sandra was incredible! We had dinner party of the 13 that had extensive allergies & food sensitivities and she came up with a delicious menu for all of us to enjoy! She went above & beyond with the decor & menu cards! I would highly recommend using her and can't wait to book her again!
Sandra was amazing. She was very professional, pleasant to be around, and her food was amazing. The presentation, table setup, everything was beautiful. I would hire her again.
If I could give 10 stars I would! I really hit it off with Sandra immediately. I wanted to taste the food first at my house and she graciously agreed, and it did not dissapoint! That was a small snippet of what was in store for my special day!Sandra produced an amazing, talented, incredible, flavorful food presentation for my wedding. I was just absolutely flabbergasted(along with my guests) with the artistic displays, but most of all, the delicious food. It was so unique and everything flowed so well. I was so impressed, satisfied and so happy. My guests could not stop raving about how impressive the food was. Her staff helped with everything, since I was pretty much a solo planner, they jumped and and helped with tasks that were not even food related. I really appreciate Sandra, her staff, her expertise and generosity. I will most definitely use her again for any event that I have.
We hired Sandra for a dinner celebrating a dear friend getting married the next day. She made everything so easy. Love that she works with serveware, dinnerware, and flatware that you have and augments with her own stuff where needed. The table scapes were beautiful — see the pictures! The food was beautifully presented and delicious! We will be repeat clients! Thank you so much, Sandra!
I cannot save enough about Sandra. She went above and beyond our expectations to make our wedding our dreams. The entire experience was amazing. She worked with our dietary restrictions, created a delectable menu, and designed a lovely ambiance by providing decor. From beginning to end, we worried about nothing because Sandra was on top of it. I will be working with her again for events. Sandra, thanks so much for everything!
We celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary last month and thought what better way to make it a memorable event than by hiring a personal chef to cook/serve us dinner in our own home. We found Sandra on Thumbtack and from the very beginning, she was very responsive to our emails and upfront with what we should expect from this experience. Sandra is a dream to work with and she’s definitely accommodating with what the customer wants. She cooked us a fantastic dinner with all the bells and whistles which far exceeded our expectations!! There was so much food we couldn’t eat it all in one sitting. If you’re looking for a 5-Star personal chef who is warm, friendly and professional, contact Sandra! Trust me, you won’t regret it!
If I could give 10 stars, I would! Sandra was amazing from the beginning of the process to the very end. I can’t say enough about her responsiveness, punctuality, professionalism and warmth! As a new mom, I wanted to celebrate my husband’s birthday with our daughter without going to the restaurant and Sandra was the best choice! She is a talented chef who was able to bring an experience far superior to any I’ve had at a restaurant, right to my home! We enjoyed it so much, we’re booking her for my birthday in April and if we don’t travel, we’ll definitely hire her again for our anniversary in October! PS: Sandra took these pictures and many others and sent them to us the next day! 😊 We were able to enjoy our dinner without worrying about documenting it.
Sandra is not only a pro, she also seems like a good friend you didn't realize you already had! She is amazing at coming up with a delicious menu and 'creative vision' regarding presentation/decoration! She worked closely with us on challenging food restrictions and since she is an incredible chef, she worked her magic in way that everyone raved about their food (including our strict vegan friend). The dishes really are spectacular and truly taste as good as they look! She finds interesting touches to make your event so special and memorable. It is also worth mentioning that her staff is top notch as well. We highly recommend Creative Visions Cuisine and look forward to the next time we have an event!
We had an amazing experience with Sandra planning our sit-down dinner party at our home. Sandra worked with me to finalize a menu that would work for 8 unique preferences, allergies and tastes. She provided amazing service and value at every step of the way. From the menu to the table setting and decorations, the experience was better than what a restaurant could have provided, all in the comfort of our own home. Every dish prepared was more delicious than the last, and we are still talking about the desserts. I truly cannot recommend Sandra enough, and hope we have reason to hire her again in the very near future. Even our visiting family members were asking if she would be willing to travel!
Sandra is the best chef I have ever experienced. Everything about the event FAR exceeded my expectations. She added special touches such as a printed menu, ice cubes with edible flowers inside, had her staff take pictures. I will never consider another caterer ever again. Pure perfection!
I cannot recommend Sandra highly enough. She was such a pleasure to work with all through the process of planning a brunch to celebrate our children's baptism. She talked through the menu and the schedule with us well in advance and kept in touch as she pulled all the pieces together. Her food was beautiful and absolutely delicious. And, she was attentive to every detail. She brought tablecloths and accents to match the colors of our kids' outfits and arranged beautiful flower arrangements to help decorate the house. She was cheerful and clearly invested in making sure we had a beautiful event. We have found our event caterer and look forward to working with Sandra again in the future!
Honestly I don’t even know where to begin because my whole experience with Sandra was more than amazing. I started talking to Sandra six months before my event to begin coordinating. Throughout my communications with her over the past few months she was responsive, creative, highly organized and helped plan the most perfect dinner for my friend’s bachelorette. She worked with me from start to finish to prepare the most amazing menu. She arrived with her two assistants and they were extremely friendly, organized, professional, efficient and the food was utterly amazing. Our group of 7 girls just couldn’t stop raving about the food! Sandra set up a GORGEOUS table scape and printed the most adorable customized menus. everything was just seamless. I don’t have enough good things to say about this experience. It was absolutely amazing and unforgettable. It was something all of us girls will always cherish. Thank you Sandra for the most beautiful night!!!
Sandra was fantastic! I hired her to prepare a gluten-free plated dinner for my parents' 60th birthday party - 6 adults and 2 preschoolers. She was pleasant to work with and efficient as we went back and forth on details and logistics. On the day of the event, she arrived with all the materials she needed and got right to work. My family was able to hang out and enjoy each other's company as Sandra cooked, set the table, plated and served the food, and cleaned up afterwards. And the food was fantastic! My sister-in-law raved about the flourless chocolate cake with vanilla bean whipped cream, "this is the dessert I didn't know I was waiting for my whole life!" Everyone really enjoyed the cuban salad with avocado and chicken enchiladas with mexican style rice and tomatillo salsa. And there were even leftovers! When Sandra left, the kitchen was nice and tidy and all the leftovers were labeled and put away in the fridge. What sets Sandra apart is her thoughtfulness: I really appreciated that she made sure everything was gluten free and even tested the recipe out ahead of time! She brought activity kits for the preschoolers. And she brought placemats and napkin rings as well.
