Chef's Latest Testimonials

1: New Dream Catering was the best decision regarding my wedding that I made. From start to finish they were amazing. The staff was very professional, personable and kind. Eric (the owner) listened to what I wanted, offered suggestions, and was so helpful during the entire process. The food was phenomenal! We had a small reception and opted to do passed hors d'oeuvres. From the shrimp & grits in tiny martini glasses, to the lobster bisque shooters and everything in between our guests were wowed with each new dish. The catering staff was always smiling and personable with our guests. Our guests were blown away with how delicious the food was and how lovely it was presented. I'm still receiving compliments on the food a month later. Oh! The bar service was great, too. I chose to do a signature cocktail and the bartender created the most festive and delicious Christmas-themed martini ever- complete with red and green sugar rimmed glasses and a candy cane garnish. They were amazing! My suggestion to a bride looking for the most amazing food on their wedding day is to look no further. New Dream Catering is the only way to go!

From the Bride

New Dream Catering was fantastic!! The quality of the food- both taste and display was perfect- our guets are still raving about how good it all was!

Another great, fun filled night for the kids at The Shop of New Dream Catering. Only half the kids showed up for last nights class,  which made it twice as fun for all of us. We made from scratch Pizza as Kate gave great instruction and talks for the kids to learn all about dough rising and working with yeast. I even picked up a few good tips, thanks Kate. We topped the pizza with Mozzarella Cheese, Pepperoni, Sausage, Peppers, Onion and Mushrooms, mmm, mmm they came out good. I have to say the kids looked sharp in The Dream Team colors! The kids even got to make an extra pizza to take home to the family and they carried them out of the shop like trophies......

Big Thanks to Kate Connor (middle of picture) for her most wonderful help.

Our first trial free kids cooking class was such fun and such a huge success that I am waiving the $15.00 price and will be doing all cooking classes for free. THAT'S RIGHT FREE! I don't have it in my heart to charge for such pleasure.The feeling I had going home from my first cooking class for kids was so great, that money could only tarnish that kind of feeling.

Me and Mini Me sharing the cookie he made me :)
