OUR ROOTS
Chef’s Garden Catering & Events was founded in 2001 by Liz Earnest with the simple aspiration of serving delicious joy. The company grew faster than she anticipated and in 2005, Liz’s daughter, Jennifer, joined the team. Together, the mother-daughter duo have grown Chef’s Garden Catering & Events into a full-service catering, event, and restaurant firm, with exclusive venues like The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens.
Our clients value us not only for our fine food and service but for the level of comfort they have in knowing that we treat each event like it is our own. Chef’s Garden Catering & Events is passionate about creating innovative experiences that connect people through delicious food and drink. Our clients are our biggest source of inspiration and we believe collaboration is at the core of every great event. Our team loves the challenge that comes with trying something new and we believe there is no greater reward than a satisfied client. Because we always remember that we are only as good as our last event, our staff regularly engages in industry training to keep current with trends as we seek to set a few of our own.
Today, Chef’s Garden Catering & Events employs over a hundred and twenty people and offers an array of services such as off-premise catering and beverage service for weddings, corporate events, and social gatherings, cooking classes, meal delivery through Northeast Florida.
