Stir It Up did an amazing job at our June 11th wedding. Working with Pat and Phyllis was a distinct pleasure from the beginning. After a very professional (but warm) first meeting, we scheduled a tasting. We brought my father-in-law and after the meal he exclaimed "This is the best food I have ever tasted. Hire her. You won't find better." He was right and you can't argue with that.
And the price was right. Very right. After dozens of meetings with caterers, it was so refreshing to see Pat's straight forward pricing. No hidden costs. Throughout the process, Pat was always available to answer any questions and was extremely flexible to any changes. She has this "can-do" attitude which is very reassuring. Pat always tried to find a solution rather than saying "it's no possible". Our venue didn't provide access to a kitchen and what we used as a makeshift kitchen was tight. Stir It Up made it work excellently.
If we were happy with Stir It Up before the wedding, the day-of we were thrilled. For our cocktail hour Pat threw in some complimentary appetizers since she had some avocados left from an event earlier that week. The Stir It Up team took care of everything and then some. We had several mini-disasters ( fuse blew, water that was supposed to be left on wasn't and the drinking water we purchased was not provided to Stir It Up by accident) but we were none-the-wiser until we stopped by Pat's a couple days later. She and her team took care of everything behind the scenes and delivered the most delicious meal. We had so many compliments on the food and the guests ate and ate.
We had some wonderful vendors but by far Stir It Up was our favorite! We would enthusiastically recommend Stir It Up to any couple looking for a delicious gourmet meal and a professional, accommodating caterer for their wedding!

Stir It Up Cuisine was wonderful. They made delicious food and put it together beautifully. The staff was friendly and helpfull. I have an aunt with some food allergies and she was extremely impressed with the catering staffs knowledge about the ingredients in all the food and how helpful they were about figuring out which items were safe for her to eat. They also had a server bringing food out to the wedding party while we were outside taking pictures from the cocktail hour. We felt very well taken care of and have nothing but good things to say about them!

The food was delicious!!!! I have only come across one complaint, the strawberries on the fruit kabobs in the brides room were spoiled, other than that the food was on point. Most communication was between the planner, my husband (Who is in love with Pat), and stir it up so I don't have much to say about responsiveness.
The extra service that went through pat were not so good, such as the bartenders. They forgot to put down the bar mat on the top lever of the venue which damaged the floors and I had to pay $600 to repair the floor. If I had it to do again I would go with Stir it up, but leave out the middle man (the planner) to avoid the miscommunication.

Great service, very helpful with menu selection, calm professional manner dealing with a frazzled mother of the Bride. Great value for cost, food was delicious. Very flexible in providing creative and delicious options for people with different dietary requests.

To Whom It May Concern:
It is with greatest satisfaction that I write this letter of recommendation on behalf of “Stir It Up Cuisine.” I’ve hired Pat Kiernan on many occasions from a small cocktail party to one of the most elegant affairs (a golden wedding anniversary party for 150 guests). Whether it’s been a home or a function facility, I have always received the greatest reviews from the incredibly delicious food to the appropriately designed décor. The personal touch, the customized menus & the impeccable service are what makes this catering company the best I’ve ever worked with. I highly recommend “Stir It Up Cuisine” for any occasion large or small.
Most Sincerely,

Dear Pat & Steve:
Words can't express our thanks for what you accomplished that night of nights. My feeling as you know was to have our guests remember our 50th anniversary years later. "You did it."
Until the 55th or maybe sooner,
Shalom, Adele & Ben
I have used Stir It Up Cuisine’s catering service over the last year and have found it to be quite delightful. My wife and I have used her for a small gathering at our house with family and friends and thought this was the perfect way on a summer evening to enjoy a meal without all the hard work and preparation. Pat’s food was not only delicious, which she helped us to handpick, but it was hot, served in very easy to utilize containers and several guests commented on how good the food was and asked for Pat’s card. I have often used Pat’s catering on nights when we don’t have time to cook and we don’t feel like preparing any meals at home. We have quite easily ordered meals, brought them home and kept them in the fridge and utilized them throughout the week. We are particularly fond of Pat’s Chicken Fricassee and I would highly recommend this catering service to anybody, whether a small or large gathering or just for a family night at home.
