7. Real Reviews from Rochester Clients on Google

I could not possibly be more pleased with my experience working with Chef's. From initial inquiring to finalizing the menu and headcount, they were super quick to respond, the food was absolutely delicious, the venue was clean, bright and airy. They did such a wonderful job with set up and decor. Super organized, always checking in if we needed anything. I can't say enough positives! Although the event was a somber one, a celebration of life luncheon following my father's funeral, the family was able to come together in a beautiful space and just enjoy being together. I look forward to finding a reason to use them again in the future! Everyone shared so many compliments with me on how perfect everything was and what a beautiful final tribute it was to my dad.  He would have been honored!” – S. Smith

My husband and I cannot say enough about this venue! We wanted a fairytale wedding, and that is exactly what we got. Mindy and Alyssa were so laid back and easy to work with and Alyssa literally made our wedding a dream come true from start to finish. The service is excellent, and if you are looking for breathtaking views, look no further! They have a wonderful team, and great food as well. This was truly an epic wedding, and we look forward to booking more events with Chefs!” – Jessica V
