Our Testimonials
"the proof is in the pudding"
"Thank you for opening our eyes to what a professional catered dinner in the home can be. Everything from the appies to the dessert and the service and your friendly and personable service was superb! Much appreciated by all of us at OSG!"Fern & Jeff Hardy, Office Systems Group Christmas Party, White Rock, December, 2011"We were extremely happy with the catering that Party Chef provided for our wedding. We had a cocktail hour, followed later by a buffet dinner and dessert. The food Chef Ira prepared was delicious and plentiful, a sentiment that was echoed by many of our guests. His company was also able to take care of other elements of the event, including equipment rental, bar tending staff and serving staff, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the day. We had a very positive experience with Chef Ira and I would definitely recommend Party Chef."Matilda & Nicholas Wedding, Aberthau House, Vancouver, July 2011"Chef Ira is so passionate about food, you can taste it! We love that fact that he offers customized menus and not your basic meat and potatoes. The menu created for our wedding was amazing! People are still talking about how delicious it was. Thanks again!"Zennia Matthew, Confederation Hall, Burnaby, August 2011"Thank you for supporting A Continental Affair on Saturday, October 15th 2011. Your food contribution was crucial to the success of this event. Guest comments regarding the quality of food and wine have been extremely favourable. You made this a special evening for guests, donors, volunteers and patients. From the bottom of my heart, thank you and your team."Heather Bemister, ALS Gala Benefit, Vancouver Art Gallery, October, 2011" Chef Ira catered our 100-person wedding, and we couldn't be happier! He met with us in person and came up with a remarkably affordable package that fit our needs perfectly. The appetizers and buffet were to die for, and Ira accommodated our special requests - a chocolate fountain, original appetizers, and a few special plates for our vegetarian/vegan guests. His staff were also exceptionally friendly and efficient! We both work as musicians at dozens of catered events every year (weddings, conferences, etc.) and we have never encountered a better caterer than Chef Ira! "Jim Hopson and Marissa Deans, Scottish Cultural Centre, Vancouver, July 2011The food was fantastic and impressed all of our guests, local and out-of-towners. It was a pleasure to have so many leftovers. I highly recommend Chef Ira and will gladly use his services for any future catered events.Stacy and Jeremy Taylor, Vancouver, June 2011

Food was delicious and excellent as was the service, everybody thoroughly enjoyed it. I could not have asked for a better chef, from the initial consultation to meeting with you, you were prompt in replying to my messages and gave me a detailed quotation which made my budget easier to plan. Moreover, it helped emailing you about food changes and providing payment over the phone were great time savers. Everyone at the wedding commented on how good the food was. It was the best day of our lives and we want to thank your help for contributing to that."Pearl and Jon, Vancouver Rowing Club, November 2010"Chef Ira catered our wedding at the Vancouver Art Gallery. We greatly appreciated his professionalism and input into the menu. Our guests loved the food, and we loved that they enjoyed themselves! The appetizers were outstanding, and friends still start drooling when they talk about the beef and the chicken. On the day of the wedding, Ira's crew was most flexible and easygoing, taking the initiative with a friendly smile and doing whatever needed to be done. We highly recommend this catering service for any function - you'll like Chef Ira, his food and his staff as much as we did!"Ulla and Clarence, Vancouver Art Gallery, November 2010"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you and your crew did to help make our wedding so wonderful and special. Everyone said the food was amazing and you and your crew were very kind and personable. The meat was tender and the stuffed chicken was a huge hit! I have already recommended you to people and will be more than happy to spread the word when I hear people asking about a caterer. It was a pleasure to work with you and I will certainly come to you if I need a caterer in the future. You are a kind man with great energy and I look forward to keeping in touch with you."Tina Birovchak and Billy Smith, New Westminster, October 2010."...Absolutely without a doubt very open to ideas, all of Chef Ira's original ideas were excellent. Chef Ira went out of his way to prepare a special meal for our wedding, all homemade. Amazingly tasty meal from the Salads to the Chicken and Baron of Beef. The presentation was beautiful and very appetizing. Chef Ira and his staff worked around all the awkwardness and made it comfortable and inviting with more than enough food. Ira created a magnificent meal that fit nicely into our budget. Our family and friends raved about the food, many went for seconds and some even took home leftovers. We have been told that wedding buffets are generally not that great so it was much to our surprise to have so many compliments. The staff was very helpful, courteous, dressed professionally and mixed in with the guests at all times. They cleaned up well after themselves. We would recommend Ira to our family, friends and other couples looking to have an event catered and who want to ensure their guests are fed real food and not just hamburgers, chips and pizza. Thanks for making our special day both memorable and tasty."Steve and Abby Hecocks, Burnaby, March 2010"Its been 3 months since our wedding and I still get compliments on the food! Questions frequently asked by my guests: -"where did you find him, he was awersome", -"do you know him personally, he is so nice, I talked to him for like half an hour!", -"the food you guys, the food was so good, where did you get this guy!?" Chef Ira was not only pleasant to deal with during the stress of a wedding but he was also AMAZING! Him and his staff whipped up an incredible meal for our 95 guest wedding!We couldn't be happier! Thank you so much!"Alejandra and Chris, Coquitlam, July 2010"I just wanted to say thanks again for doing such a great job catering our wedding. Despite the heavy rain during the day it all turned out really well. I have received very positive feedback from our guest regarding the food. I have no hesitation recommending your services to friends and family."Kelly Ceron, Richmond, August 2010 " Chef Ira has been a delight to work with for our event. Courteous, efficient and professional are only a few words to describe his talents. With short notice, a tight budget and a complicated request (Backyard Hawaiian Theme 40th Birthday Party), Chef Ira took on the task with a smile. His food and service was impeccable and we've been getting phone calls non-stop with nothing but compliments of the food. Thank you Chef Ira for making our event a special and memorable one! " Ruman and Rita Chohan, Richmond July 2010" We asked for 'casual elegance' from Chef Ira and his team when we decided to have our wedding with less than a month of planning, and Chef Ira went above and beyond in creatively responding to our vision. While other catering companies we spoke to were not enthused about such a short timeline, Chef Ira was so responsive and imaginative in his suggestions, while encouraging our constructive input; he definitely rose to the challenge. The result was nothing short of fantastic - a delicious Canapé menu that enabled our guests to consistently be delighted and surprised for hours with what was being prepared with love right before their eyes. I would be very happy to recommend Chef Ira to anyone looking to completely satisfy and pleasantly surprise their guests with an inventive yet fulfilling menu."Lindsey Munday, Vancouver, April 2010"Chef Ira and his team created a very memorable evening for us. The food was plentiful, varied, and delicious and presented in a professional manner. Ira received many well-deserved compliments from our guests. We look forward to using his services again. Thank you for the tasty morsels and the wonderful service you and your team provided. We will definitely forward our favourable memories of your product to others and hope to have your services again in the future." The Meiers, North Vancouver, April 2010"Thank you very much for your special meal on Saturday and for taking special care in making the evening great. Please also convey our thanks to Rhonda for her company and help.Reg D'Silva, Vancouver, January 2010"Hi Ira! I just wanted to drop a little note and tell you how wonderful the party was yesterday at my parents house! Everyone just gorged on all the food, what a FEAST! Thanks so much and i really enjoyed my Birthday Party with my family!" Stephanie Fahlke, Coquitlam, September 2010
