From the day we met Steve at Two Chefs Are Better Than One Catering at the Rainbow Wedding Network Expo, it has been a pleasure working with their company. Their staff was flexible with all of our requests and made planning our reception extremely easy. They've blown us away with their professionalism and approachability. Before the Expo, we were determined to cook our wedding dinner ourselves. We feared awkward moments when discussing the wedding with different vendors and on a whim, we decided to check out the Rainbow Wedding Network Expo. It was fantastic, from that point forward, to stop seeing our wedding as non-traditional and rather see it for what it truly was: a day of celebration and love. Thank you again for making our wedding day so beautiful. It would not have been as effortless and elegant without your help.
