"Cheers and thanks for an incredible Clambake on our farm smack in the middle of Tennessee!  From your beautiful event design to your unique cooking techniques, we are in awe!"

"Thank you for introducing our community to your wonderful summer dinner fundraiser.  This was such a novel and creative way for neighbors and residents to gather, spend time together AND raise money for our book program. Morgan and I had a delightful time with some of the neighbors that we'd previously never had an opportunity to share any time with. Brilliant! - 5*****"

"We were so impressed at your clever idea of selling some of the materials - cabinets, windows, etc., that were being removed from the house for renovations and offsetting some of our expenses.  That was a great idea.  We didn't know anyone who had done that before but we're definitely gonna tell people now. We  love the warm and cozy home you gave us." 

"I was hesitant to host a party at the Hollywood Bowl but your food turned it into an incredible dining experience with the music as a lovely backdrop." 

"Thank you so much.  Your Personal Chef Services elevated our dinner party.  Our guests are still talking about the fun they had watching, learning, and even joining in as you prepared our feast while they enjoyed their cocktails." 

"Thank you for creating a beautiful and delicious series of dinner parties to thank our fellow 'snowbird' neighbors for their love and friendship."

"PLEASE open a restaurant so we can enjoy your ridiculously amazing fare any time we want.  If you open a restaurant, THEY WILL COME - over and over again!"

"Your idea for a 'picnic proposal' was fantastic. Our friends and family are still talking about it.  As you know, Lizzy said YES, so we'll see you next September to plan our wedding."

"The rooftop garden party that you created for us was nothing short of amazing!  The table settings, bar and lounge area were the perfect mix of comfort and elegance.  The food was spectacular and the charcuterie board was a work of art. We framed a picture of it and hung it in our home.  It inspires us and reminds us of the incredible and memorable evening that you gave us.  It's our pleasure to include our 5***** review, along with hundreds of others we're sure you've received." 

"Everything about our evening was exceptional.  Your dinner highlighted our local growers and vineyards; our meal was spectacular and the setting you created was magnificent.  Cheers and 5*****!" 

"You created a beautiful and intimate space and then gifted us with an exceptional meal.  One of our favorite evenings of the decade!"

"I can't begin to Thank You enough for the spectacular celebration you designed and executed for Tom's promotion to Assistant Coach.  You literally re-imagined and transformed one of our town's historic livery stables into a warm, inviting, and magical space.  The vintage and historical furnishings that you brought in to showcase photos of Tom's career over the years; the delicious cuisine; and surprising, unique and delightful food stations you set up throughout the space, gave us and our guests a legendary and memorable evening.  There is no doubt that this is your 'purpose in life' and you are a true blessing to all of your clients.  We can't wait to see what you create for us for our next celebration."

"The ''1960's' retro themed pop-up dinner you created was beyond cool! The menu, music and ambience was outstanding.  Your attention to detail was imbedded throughout the entire evening. Groovy!"

"The 'Glamping' Theme party you created for our daughter's 13th Birthday was out of this world!  Your creativity and attention to detail had us all in awe, and your kindness and hospitality made our daughter and her friends feel so special.  Everyone's parents were so impressed, and jealous, that we held a 'part 2 glamping party' for the parents the next night.  It doesn't get better then this!  The 'tween' years are difficult to navigate, but you made us our daughter's heroes." 

"Your charming and fun  'crew' was the icing on the cake of the unforgettable evening that you gave us. Incredible food, ambiance and hospitality - we wish we could have stayed frozen in time. Bringing people together for an evening of great food, conversation and fellowship is something the world needs more of. Thank you so much."

"Thank you for making our parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary such a beautiful and special event.  Our parents speak of you often and miss you and your team." 

"Saying 'Thank You' doesn't begin to express our feelings of warmth and gratitude for you for creating such a magnificent event.  It was the perfect outing as the pandemic restrictions were being lifted.  You provided everyone with a safe environment with your outdoor "dining room," created a magical setting, prepared a glorious feast, and brought people together for an evening of comfort and inspiration. We are forever grateful to have been part of this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Saluti!"

"WOW!  The event you created for us was spectacular!  The snow-covered mountainside location, the sleighrides to the event, the impeccable food, the beautifully decorated tents, your delightful and attentive crew - EPIC!" 

"You gave my wife the wedding of her dreams.  Your unique vision produced the perfect mingling of black tie with warmth, family traditions, and fun.  Our guests can't stop talking about your extraordinary event.  You gave us both a day that we will treasure forever.  Pure magic."

"WORTH THE WAIT! Your pop-up dinners are one of our favorite events.  Amazing food, beautiful table settings and decorations, and always a great coming together for our community.  PLEASE add more dates for these wonderful dinners!"

"You and your staff are delightful, creative, and fun.  Your menu was exceptional!  We can't wait to  bring our friends to meet and share your table with more new friends.  You're very special."

"Profound thanks to you and your lovely and attentive staff.  The pop-up culinary event you prepared was amazing - from your 5***** menu to the breathtaking ambiance.  Your idea of always using only local sources for each menu has helped make the Hudson Valley a go-to destination and has helped so many of our local farms and growers.  We're looking forward to your next event with bated breath and continued collaborations with our local growers." 

"A 'delicious' and wonderful night in every way."

"I think we will forever say that you made the impossible possible.  You gifted us with the most amazing wedding reception during the Covid pandemic.  The synchronized, live stream reception from New York to Carmel, California that you planned and gave us was nothing short of spectacular!  You and your crew are forever in our hearts."

 "Your pop-up dinners are the absolute best!  Delicious, tons of fun, and a great way to connect, share and learn.  We all had a great time and many of us that met at your dinners have continued the friendships we made there.  We can't wait for your upcoming calendar of dinners here in town.  We'll be there!  Can't even begin to thank you enough."  

"We were blessed to have been able to reserve and attend one of your pop-up dinners in Aspen during the Winter of 2012, and immediately started sending our request for a reservation to attend your New England pop-up dinner during the Summer months.  It took a few years to finally get our reservation and it was worth the wait." 

"Thank you for turning our antique warehouse into a visual work of art AND preparing trhe most delicious food for our guests.  Everything was uniquely curated and intentional.  It was amazing." 

"You captured the exact vibe we were looking for in our home renovation.  And you brought the outdoors inside in an organic and stunning way.  Our patio on the beach is our sanctuary and even our kids love staying home and kicking back with us out there."      

"It meant so much to us that you took the time to talk about some of our heritage furnishings,  their meaning to us, and how to incorporate them into our home renovation.  You repurposed them brilliantly and because of you they are no longer just old pieces hanging around, but are now statement pieces that have purpose and connect us with our family's past," 

"BRAVO' to another season with us! Here's to 2021!" ​

"Your renovation of our 3rd generation barn was breathtaking.  Having you also stage, list, host, and manage our beautiful barn on short-term rental sites has given us the chance to introduce our kiddos to so many new places - every time our barn is booked, we take a vacation and discover new regions - their history, culture, food and more.  This gift you have given us is PRICELESS!"

"Thank you for turning our home and our back yard into an incredible haven during the pandemic. We will enjoy it for years to come."

 "Thanks to you and your entire creative team, our home is so beautiful that we think we might not sell it after all." 

"Sold in 3 days!"

"Professionalism and personality rolled into one!"

"You should have your own TV show!"

"My wife is in love with the she-shed/art studio that you created for her."

"You turned our search for a short-term rental investment property into a non-stressful, inspiring, and profitable journey.  Your research was thorough and there was no stone left unturned.  This has been a rare and wonderful execution.  We look forward to working together for many years to come"  

 "The family garden you designed and built with our family has brought us all so much happiness. It's brought us comfort, inspiration and purpose during the pandemic.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts - thank you."

"The broker open house event you executed for our realtor resulted in an offer $1.2 million over asking price.  Let's do that again." 

"That was one of the best real estate open house events I ever attended.  From the theme you created to the food you catered, it was stellar!"

"Thank you and your crew for the incredible remodel of our antique barn.  You brought it back to life and turned it into an amazing and cozy space for our Airbnb guests to enjoy.  It's one of the most viewed listings and we're booked through January of 2023." 

"We cannot thank you enough for including our artist guild fundraiser with your broker open house event. Your amazing event surpassed our expectations and our goals.  We are forever grateful to you and your warm and delightful staff."

"Terrific communication, totally reliable and responsive. Your team was a pleasure and great fun to work with. You accomplished everything we asked for and then some."

"The back yard oasis that you created for us is beyond our wildest dreams and then to top it off, you designed an incredible putting green.  Our boys (kids and the husband too) spend hours together with their friends on the green and that's a real joy to watch. So thank you."

"Thank you for helping us with all the decisions and renovations for our guest house.  You created a luxurious space that our friends and family will delight in staying in.  We're afraid they're never gonna want to leave!"

"You turned our pool house into an amazing guest house on par with any 5-Star hotel.  We have a great time hosting guests from airbnb, vrbo, and other rental platforms that you set up and manage for us.  Although we're booked year round, we're also grateful that one weekend, each month, we can 'block out' dates, fill our suitcases with toys, 'blankies,' favorite stuffed animals, s'mores fixings, matching pj's, favorite movies and more, and 'check in' for our very own family weekend vacation right in our own back yard. Your transformation of our pool house is  '"magazine worthy.'"

"The family garden that you created for us has given us tremendous fun and a joyful way of connecting our 'blended' family." 

"We can't thank you enough for staging and readying our home for sale.  We were dreading the idea and didn't have a clue of how or where to start. We're so happy."

"You transformed our simple dock into a 'Mediterranean Vision' ​enjoyed by our family and friends as well as every boater on the lake." 

"A little note to let you know how much the family garden that you created for us and educated us on has changed our lives.  With your help we are able to create recipes and family traditions that will be part of our family's history for generations.  Thank you so much!" 

"The curb appeal you gave our home depicts a true and authentic Southern Welcome." 

"Our New York City penthouse rooftop is the talk of the town.  Thank you for the slice of Heaven you created for us amid the bustle of the city."

"Every one of our Airbnb reviews mentions how beautiful, inviting and cozy our rental space is - all thanks to you.  Thank you for creating such an inviting environment for our guests and visitors to enjoy." 

"Our family is forever grateful for the culinary education and fun that you taught our kids.  We've learned to appreciate our meals and we have oodles of fun cooking together.  The "family garden" that you created for us has been the catalyst for creating new family traditions."  

"Bless you for designing and decorating our home for our local Christmas Tour of Homes.  You found a way to create an incredible visual experience for our tour guests and at the same time created a warm and cozy Christmas environment for our family to enjoy throughout the season." 

"The nursery you designed for Baby Emma is exquisite!  Soothing, cheerful, cozy, bright and brilliantly functional for both my wife and our daughter.  You fulfilled all of our needs and wants, but it was your personal touches that put it over the moon.  Your talent and hard work produced a space that 'hugged' Emma from the very first day we brought her home.  A true Blessing!" 

"Thank you for the magnificent equestrian center you designed for us.  Your design not only captured our vision for our state of the art facility but also captured our bucolic environment.  The opening day event you created was also a tremendous success -  from the cozy yet vibrant atmosphere to the incredible murals you commissioned.  And the menu and catering you provided was above and beyond anything any of us could have imagined. We have welcomed visitors from all over the country, many of whom were excited to see and experience your work and this amazing center that you created for us. We're so excited that you'll be available to create another masterpiece for us next Spring at our newest center.  See you in the beautiful rolling hills of Virginia."    

"Thanks so much for the beautiful renovations you made to our home.  Our home has always been the gathering place for our family and we're so happy that because of your hard work, we'll be able to continue with these gatherings as our family grows. You'll be in our thoughts, and we'll be giving thanks to you for years to come."  

"We can't begin to describe the amazing and gorgeous renovations you did to our home. A "graceful home" indeed!  We still marvel at what you accomplished and gave us - our forever home!  Thank you for the gift of a warm and wonderful home to wake up to and come home to every day." 

"We had such a fun and memorable experience working with you and your crew.  Thank you for helping us navigate through our remodel and for the really lovely and welcoming home you designed for our family."

"You not only decorated a beautiful dorm room for our daughter, but you also gave us peace of mind that knowing that she will be happy and able to thrive in her new environment. Olivia speaks of you quite often and misses you.  She takes pride in telling her fellow classmates that you included her ideas, wants and needs in decorating her dorm.  We're all so happy and appreciate everything you've done for us."

"WOW!  You totally captured and incorporated our beautiful and majestic surroundings in your remodel of our home. An incredible merging of indoors and outdoor design.  If there were such a thing as more than 5 Stars, we would give them to you.  5***** and a million thanks."

"The brownstone, the brownstone, the brownstone - 4 stories of sagging floors, ceilings falling in, crumbling plaster, headaches, stress and second guessing 'why the heck did we ever buy this, what were we thinking, and how are we ever gonna get through this!'  And then we found you and you turned everything around for us.  Your innovative design plan; your willingness and ability to schedule each room's renovations so that we could remain in our home during construction; your keen eye for merchandising our furnishings; completing the project weeks before our contracted date; your friendly, patient, and accommodating staff; even "babysitting" our kids so we could enjoy a much needed night out; coming in under budget; your amazing decor; and your mastery at collaborating our personal style with your expertise turned this from a frightening and overwhelming 'uh-oh' into a smooth, educational, once-in-a-lifetime adventure, with stunning results." 

"You gave us a most beautiful home that brings us joy and makes all of our family, friends and guests feel welcome and warm.  We're so proud to call this our home, and we're so proud that we now have a new friend in you."

"Stunning!  Renovations and staging under budget and under the contracted time frame too. Amazing! 5*****"

"Your Christmas decorations made our home the envy of the entire neighborhood!"

"You're a beautiful and thoughtful genius.  And you were right - a porch is so much more than just a porch.  It's become our favorite place for our morning coffee, to wave to our neighbors, breathe in the outdoors, and a gathering place for our friends and neighbors to sip wine in the evening." 

"Your vision and execution for our main floor renovation exceeded our expectations.  You're a master of design, merchandising and installation.  Our home has become a magnificent yet cozy space for entertaining friends and family.  You've helped turn this into our "forever home."  

"We're so lucky to have found you.  Your vision and specialty for designing outdoor living spaces is so unique.  We could never have imagined what our yard could be turned into.  You gave us a true "living space" in our backyard that has given us endless days and nights of fun and happiness.  Starlit dinners, movie nights, and teepee fun for the kids are just a few ways that we've enjoyed our backyard.  It's become THE place for our family, friends and neighbors to gather and spend time together.  I don't know if we'll ever be able to thank you enough for what you've done for us, but please know that we think of you often and when we say our prayers with our kids at bedtime, and give thanks for the many wonderful things in our lives, you are always part of our prayers." 

 "Thank you for finding such beautiful and creative ways to repurpose and include some of our heirloom, vintage and favorite pieces in the remodel you did in our home.  That meant so much to us.  Our home is finally exactly what we dreamed about for years.  An incredible blend of history and tradition with new, beauty, function and purpose." 

"Thank you for finding us the perfect investment property for the short-term rental market.  You addressed all our wants and needs and found us THE home that we'd been looking for.  You made the entire process stress-free and covered everything that we needed to begin this new adenture."

"A visual feast!  Your setting, design, crew and menu are legendary!"

"Your organizing/de-cluttering and your 'refresh' programs and services brought a balance to my life that I hadn't experienced in many, many years.  Thank you for the amazing work you did and for teaching me the tools to continue this simpler and blanced life."  

"We never realized how much fun and rewarding an estate sale can be.  You hndled every detail and it was flawless. The way you presented and staged all the furniture and items for sale was gorgeous and genius.  It looked like a boutique and that made it a unique and enjoyable experience for our shoppers. The profits from the sale allowed us to purchase new furnishings for our new home and we're so excited to see what you create for us next."  

"The kid's den you designed and decorated for Eric and Heather is magical.  It sparks their imaginations and creativity, and at the same time it's also a relaxing and calm retreat for them to enjoy.  The library of children's books will give us many years of family reading time and we've already decided that each year there will be a special Christmas tree in the den JUST FOR KIDS. Thanks for the amazing space."
