Thanks Chef Mark and team!

  After a slightly hectic last minute venue change, you guys were all such great sports, and really made the day! The food all tasted great, and the guests loved it, more than anything all the service was fantastic. All the guests told us how much they loved the appetizers and the dinner, in addition, everyone said how nice all the staff was! I would highly recommend you for all types of events, and specifically weddings! If you are looking for an amazing chef, who keeps their cool, and makes sure your special day runs perfectly this is the man you want to hire! We can't say thanks enough for everything

You're awesome!

Hi Mark,

I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful job you did at our wedding.  The food was DELICIOUS and you and your crew clearly worked hard to ensure that everyone was happy and well fed.  Plus, all the help setting up and cleaning up was much appreciated!  In particular, we are especially grateful for your willingness to cook a family dish without hesitation or complaint.  You helped us create a personalized wedding that reflected who we are, which is exactly what we wanted.  You're awesome!

Sincerely,
Rosemary

Amazing Birthday Celebration - Thanks Chef Mark

It was my twin sisters 60th birthday and didn't want to just go a restaurant so I searched the internet for a Private Chef. Wow did I find the perfect choice, "Chef Mark Gallagher". We rented an ocean view home on West Cliff and had a Night to remember. He and his server came to the home, cook and entertained the 20 of us with rave reviews. The food was over the top, from the scrumptious hors d'oeuvres passed around before hand to his 5 star dinner all the while keeping the wine glasses full. Baked Rolled Salmon, Fillet Mignon, Fingerling Potatoes, Asparagus Tips. Need I say more -

Treat yourself and guests to Chef Mark

Thanks Again

Our guests had a blast!

My new wife and I hired Chef Mark to cater our wedding last month and were very happy with the results. I was nervous at first because his prices were much lower than everyone else we looked at but we really had no other option so we rolled the dice. Chef Mark definitely has a laid back attitude but when it came down to crunch time he was very prompt with answering all our questions and guiding us through the hectic final stages of wedding planning. Chef Marks staff was excellent through out the entire event and the food was excellent. We received nothing but compliments and our guests had a blast!

Chef Mark & the Affordable team is AWESOME.

They are a full service crew with the best culinary skills around. The name says it all Affordable Chef, we were able to provide dinner to our 175 guest at our wedding for $25-$30 less per person than other full service caterers. On top of that Mark was able to rent us our tables, chairs, linens, plates, napkins, cups, EVERYTHING. Talk about a stress free day. Mark took care of everything, he made sure that my wife and I had nothing to worry about. The site we were getting married at caused a problem with chairs 30 minutes before our ceremony started, Mark handled it so professionally and quickly, my Wife and I didn't even know it happened until the next day. Not only is the customer service great but the food was fantastic. Over a year later we have friends still talking about the menu at our wedding, and Mark was able to help me surprise my wife with out wedding dinner on our one year anniversary. Chef Mark goes out of his way to provide the best service, food, and experience ever. The name says it all he is Affordable, he's a great Chef, and he ROCKS!!!!
