My line sisters and I celebrated 25 years of membership in Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc this year and decided to travel to wine country in Temecula, CA to celebrate. I contacted Chef Shi to be our private chef for a day. The excitement in Chef’s voice each time we spoke (leading up to our trip) let me know that we were in for a treat. She and her assistant Jessica were amazing from start to finish! They were personable, lighthearted and fun. We decided on doing a brunch and a dinner. She created custom menus to fit all of our dietary restrictions/preferences and the food was WONDERFUL!! She created a full experience for us from the table decor to custom cocktails/mocktails. The attention to detail was appreciated and the best part of it all is we didn’t have to lift a finger. She did everything for us and left the kitchen spotless, just as she found it. I highly recommend her any event.

One week before my event, my other caterer cancelled! I was lucky enough to stumble upon Chef Shi during a frantic Google search and I’m so glad I did! She had been planning a weekend off so I lucked out with her being available on incredibly short notice AND being willing to work on her planned vacation day. She was so professional and reassuring that I felt at ease right away! The food was amazing and the presentation was gorgeous. It all turned out really well! Thank you, Chef!
We will be back to work with Chef Shirrell and L.O.V.E. Premier Catering & Events as many times as we can! My husband and I planned a wedding celebration from out of town, spoke to a few caterers and as far as customer service and how good the food looked, there wasn't even a close 2nd option (even though a couple options were lower in cost). To say that the whole team actually cares about you and your vision and not just "having food there", is an understatement. They all felt like family the minute we met in person. People are still texting me a week later telling me how good the food was. The entire team was attentive, anticipated needs and went over and above. I promise, this is the option you want to go with!!! My experience literally couldn't have been better.
We absolutely loved the service, the food was amazing, and the energy they came in was something so special. I would absolutely book with them again and definitely recommend to others. Communication before our event was seamless, made booking easier and stress free
We hired Chef Shirrell and her team to man the grill at my daughter's 7th birthday party, and she absolutely delivered! She took what could have been a simple backyard cookout and genuinely elevated it — the burgers and hot dogs were a big hit with kids and adults alike. She was flexible, easy to work with, and handled everything smoothly from start to finish. All of our guests were impressed. Highly recommend Chef Shirrell and her team for any event — big or small!
Chef Shi and her team were incredible! From the start she made sure that everything would be suitable for the party. Her ideas for the cuisine were perfect and presentation was amazing. Thank you so much!
Chef Shi and her team were awesome. Great food, great team work, small plate party was perfect. Bartender and wait staff almost invisible, but right there before you know you need them. A+
Here’s a polished, well-balanced review that reflects your notes while keeping the tone fair and constructive: Chef Shirley was wonderful to work with. She was communicative, collaborative, and flexible as we figured out a menu that would impress our wedding party while still staying within a pretty tight budget. She made that process feel easy. I do wish communication in the final stretch had been a bit more proactive. I was so deep in wedding prep that I briefly panicked about whether everything was still confirmed! But thankfully she and her team were already en route. They even braved the intense storm that hit California that weekend to get to us on time. Once on-site, she and her team worked efficiently and were incredibly accommodating. At one point we realized we had forgotten about a bag of frozen hashbrowns, and she had no issue heating them up and adding them to the spread. Breakfast was delicious, and the portion sizes were spot on for our group. One thing that caught me off guard was that a couple of items (like the crepes and flavored cream cheeses) weren’t made from scratch. Everything still tasted great, but it’s something to note if that matters to you. Overall, having Chef Shirley handle breakfast on our wedding day lifted a huge weight off our shoulders. She delivered a tasty, well-executed meal and made the morning feel calm and taken care of. Would definitely hire again!
The best chef and energy!!!! She was soooo amazing and truly made our event so special celebrating my mom’s dinner! Went over and beyond and delivered the best food that we selected for our menu. Cleaned up afterwards and everything was spotless!
Chef Shi was heaven sent. Three days before my father’s 80th birthday dinner, I decided I wanted to do something different then take him to a restaurant and got the idea of hiring a chef. I was truly blessed to have been matched with Chef Shi! From the beginning she was extremely kind and professional! She was quick to put something together for the type of dinner I was looking for and provided several options to meet all my guests needs. The dinner was a surprise to my father who is an extremely picky eater, but Chef Shi performed magic and my father LOVED her food and even asked to get a 2nd serving. The entire menu/food was exquisite. Everything was perfect and delicious. We had salmon, chicken, mashed potatoes, broccolini and crepes, and every single thing was just “sumptuous”! Chef Shi will be our go to for any special event going forward ♥️
L.O.V.E Premier Catering was great! She created a positive and enjoyable dining experience. She was on time, professional, personable, and friendly. The meal presentation was very nice and the food was delicious with plenty leftover. Definitely a winner!
The previous prompt told me to choose up to three items, but I wanted Chef Shi and her associates went above and beyond my expectations for the price: punctuality, work quality, responsiveness, value, and professionalism and many more. She needs to charge more if we're being honest here. So happy with the food and the presentation, and my guests loved it too. I couldn't have asked for a better caterer. Thanks so much!
Shirrell was delightful to work with. She was flexible and accommodating. The food was delicious, delivered on time and warm. I would definitely use her service again. Thanks so much for everything, Shirrell.
I can summarize my experience with Chef Sherrill and her catering of my Paella party as excellent, professional, and wonderful! She was wonderful, very professional, very nice and easy to work with, she was accomodating to my requests and went above and beyond. Her food was delicious and the presentation was excellent as well. Furthermore, her prices were reasonable and she did not skimp on quality. I highly recommend L.O.V.E Premier Catering and Chef Sherrill!
Chef Shirrell made a delicious dinner for my boyfriend & I for his birthday. He really enjoyed his salmon & shrimp on linguine, & I the double shrimp on linguine, both with asparagus. What made it even more perfect was the color of the plate, utensils, and napkins. She didn’t know my color theme for him, & just so happens that everything was black & gold, just as my theme for him! I loved it! Lol
Absolutely loved working with Shirell and LOVE Premier Catering and events. She made my Dad’s 70th birthday so special! She came to our home and made fresh crab cakes which were absolutely delicious along with a Caesar salad to start. Then we had filet mignon topped with lump crab with asparagus and roasted potatoes. Everything was played beautifully and served like you’re at a 5 star restaurant. My dad was so happy and we loved Shirell for putting the love into her food. She really loves what she does and it shows! Can’t wait to hire her again!
What can I say about Chef Shirrell!!! The initial response was immediately. She's a woman of great character she made me feel very comfortable hiring her, being that I'm from Houston and she is in California . I told her exactly what I wanted for my daughter's surprise birthday brunch, and she went above and beyond the call of duty. I also asked her to get a few gifts to add to the celebration, and with no hesitation, she delivered. My daughter and her friends are still talking about how good the food was! Presentation was everything, and she was very timely. If you're looking for a chef in California, you will not be disappointed with Chef Shirrell!! Thank you, chef, Shirrell, for helping me put a smile on my daughter's face for her 23rd birthday while in California.
Chef Sherrill & her crew came and made my 30th birthday southern comfort brunch a dream! The food, service, table settings were all amazing! The menu sounded good while creating it but I am so grateful the food and all else matched the visual! She told me a little bit about her life and passion for cooking & it definitely shows in her work. Those hands are gifted ! If I ever get the chance to work with her again I gladly will. Thank you so much !🤎
We had the absolute BEST experience with L.O.V.E. Catering. Shirrell is a bright light full of amazing energy - a joy to be around. We had a full day of catering for our very small, intimate wedding with our nearest and dearest. She provided the most amazing food, full of love with a beautiful presentation for each meal. Our loved ones were raving about the food all day and felt so nourished and happy ! We would highly recommend her for ANY event, large or small - you won’t be disappointed!
Chef Shirrell and the L.O.V.E. Premier Catering team were an absolute joy to work with. Chef Shirrell was transparent and adaptable when it came to the menu choices. She was quickly able to come up with vegan alternatives for the Hors d'oeuvres I wanted. Furthermore, they brought positive energy to the party I had and made station cleanliness, food taste, and food presentation a priority and executed superbly in all three categories. They exceeded my expectations and I would be honored to have them cater any event I do in the future. My guests were raving about the food after the party and I'm still craving their vegan crab cakes.
