It was the easiest party I ever planned!

 Hi Mark,

Thank you very much for the excellent food! Everyone at the party was asking for your name!

The food was fantastic! You were so right! It was the easiest party I ever had!

 

  Thank you, thank you!

Give him a call

I was watching one of those take home chef shows. While researching for a chef in my area, I was goggling and came across a local chef, Mark Gallagher. After talking to him a little about what I wanted to do, which was a 3 to 5 course candlelight dinner for my girl, chef Mark took full control over every detail. Needless to say she was in wonderland, and I was shocked and impressed at the same time. If you have a couple bucks to spend, give him a call.  http://www.affordablechef.info/event.html

Affordable Chef is an all in one great place to get everything you need.  Chef Mark provided the food, plates, linens, utensils, glasses, tables, and chairs for my 175+ wedding.  They provided the best food the property has ever seen, at the best prices.  My wife and I find ourselves thinking about the food at our wedding craving it a year after.  Go with Affordable Chef for any culinary needs in the Santa Cruz area.  He will make your life easy and carefree on the day of your event, and will make sure it's YOUR day and nothing will get in the way!

Small Garden Wedding Extraordinaire

Chef mark and his staff made our event so enjoyable. the food was delicious, displayed beautifully and served with a smile.he was so easy to work with...a real pleasure. i recommend affordable chef catering highly and will use them again..

After meeting with Chef Mark to plan our wedding, he said, "Just have fun and I'll take care of everything." And that's just what he did! During the months before the event, he checked in frequently and was always available to answer questions or offer suggestions. His charming and fun personality really made everyone in our family feel so comfortable! Most importantly, Chef Mark made everything about our wedding day so special! He tailored the menu (and the whole reception, actually), to reflect the intimacy we wanted for our celebration. Not only was the food fabulous, (our guests are still commenting about how great it was) but the atmosphere Chef Mark created with his creativity and professional talents was incomparable! I was worried that my Italian mom would get all stressed out having someone in "her kitchen" but Mark couldn't have been more reassuring and nice on that level as well. He and his staff were so courteous and amazing all day .
