​ WE BROUGHT IN CHEFS KELLEY AND TOM TO HELP US THROW A MILESTONE BIRTHDAY PARTY
FOR A VERY SPECIAL FAMILY MEMBER.  THEY DID EVERYTHING FOR THE BIRTHDAY THEME AND CONSULTED DIRECTLY WITH OUR GUEST OF HONOR ABOUT TASTES AND DIETARY PREFERENCES.  THEY DEVELOPED A CUSTOM MENU WITH GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS.  THE PARTY WAS AN ABSOLUTE HIT IN EVERY WAY.  MANY PEOPLE TOLD US IT WAS THE BEST PARTY EVER !

CHEF KELLEY & TIKI GO GO CATERED AN OFFICE LUNCHEON FOR MY ORGANIZATION, AND SHE DID A WONDERFUL JOB.  SHE WAS VERY RESPONSIVE,  ACCOMMODATING, AND WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE BY EMAIL OR PHONE WHEN I HAD QUESTIONS.  SHE WAS ALSO EXTREMELY WILLING TO ADAPT THE MENU TO FIT OUR GROUP, AND ANY DIETARY RESTRICTIONS WE HAD.  I PLANNED THE EVENT REMOTELY, WHICH CAN BE DIFFICULT, BUT SHE MADE EVERYTHING EXTREMELY EASY FOR ME BY LIAISING WITH OUR VENUE, AND TAKING CARE OF ALL ON-SITE LOGISTICS. THE BUDGET WAS VERY REASONABLE, AND WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE WAY THE FOOD TURNED OUT, AS WERE OUR GUESTS.
THANK YOU CHEF KELLEY!

  WE HIRED CHEF KELLEY FOR A VERY SPECIAL PARTY WE HOSTED TO CELEBRATE OUR 25TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. SHE DELIVERED BEAUTIFULLY IN FOOD AND SERVICE. (65 GUESTS)

FIRST OF ALL, IN THE MONTHS LEADING UP TO OUR EVENT, KELLEY STAYED IN TOUCH WITH ME IN ORDER TO TALK ABOUT BOTH THE MENU AND THE LOGISTICS OF THE EVENT. HER SUGGESTIONS FOR THE MENU WERE WELL THOUGHT OUT AND HELPFUL. AND SHE WAS REALLY SENSITIVE TO HOW WE WANTED THE NIGHT TO RUN LOGISTICALLY – WHEN TO SERVE APPETIZERS, DINNER, DO A CHAMPAGNE TOAST ETC. THE DAY OF OUR EVENT KELLEY AND HER STAFF ARRIVED IN PLENTY OF TIME TO PREPARE FOR THE EVENING. THEY WERE ALL FRIENDLY, HELPFUL AND FOCUSED ON DOING THEIR JOB. THEY MADE THEMSELVES AT HOME IN MY KITCHEN BUT DIDN’T FEEL INVASIVE. THEY SERVED APPETIZERS WITH GRACE AND ELEGANCE AND SERVED DINNER IN EXCELLENT TIMING. I REALLY CAN’T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE FOOD. IT WAS OUTSTANDING – HIGH QUALITY INGREDIENTS, BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION AND DELICIOUS. OUR GUESTS WERE COMMENTING ALL EVENING ABOUT HOW WONDERFUL THE FOOD WAS. AS THE EVENING WAS COMING TO A CLOSE THEY CLEANED MY KITCHEN AND DIDN’T LEAVE A TRACE OF THEIR WORK. WE WERE SO PLEASED WITH CHEF KELLEY AND HER TEAM AND WILL DEFINITELY USE HER AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU CHEF KELLEY!

 (19 GUESTS)  I HIRED CHEF KELLEY TO COOK FOR A RETIREMENT PARTY AT MY HOUSE. OVERALL, I HAD A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE. SHE WAS EASY TO CONTACT, VERY RESPONSIVE TO QUESTIONS AND OFFERED HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS TO MAKE THE EVENT RUN SMOOTHLY. THE FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. THERE WAS A FOCUS ON SIMPLE BUT CREATIVE FLAVOR COMBINATIONS AND ALL OF THE GUESTS RAVED ABOUT THE FOOD. CHEF HAWKS EVEN MADE SEPARATE DISHES TO ACCOMMODATE ONE GUEST WITH FOOD ALLERGIES. SHE WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE EXTRA UTENSILS, DISHES/GLASSES, LINENS AND EVEN TABLES.  SHE LEFT THE HOUSE SPOTLESS! I WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE TIKI GO GO AGAIN.

20 GUESTS DINNER PARTY

NOT ONLY DID CHEF KELLEY & CHEF TOM DELIVER GREAT FOOD – THEY DELIVERED AN OVERWHELMINGLY SEDUCTIVE EXPERIENCE.  THEY PAID ATTENTION TO HOW GUESTS WERE MOVING THROUGH THE ROOM, AND EDITED THE PLATTERS ACCORDINGLY TO ALLOW FOR THOUGHTLESS CONSUMPTION.  THE VARIETY WAS INCREDIBLE AND THE TECH CEO’S AND CUSTOMERS I HOSTED ALL SAID IT WAS A MASTERMIND THEY WOULDN’T FORGET.

CHEF KELLEY AND HER HUSBAND WERE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. THEY WORKED SO HARD AND PRODUCED A WONDERFUL MEAL FROM START TO FINISH. SHE WAS ALSO GREAT AT WORKING WITH ME TO TWEEK THE MENU BEFOREHAND.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TIKI GO GO TO ANYONE!

20 GUESTS DINNER PARTY

THIS WAS A PLATED DINNER PARTY FOR 20 – WITH A NUT ALLERGY AND THREE KIDS INCLUDED, OUTDOOR DINING, A SHIFTING MENU AND NUMBER OF GUESTS – ALL ACCOMMODATED WITH A SMILE. CHEF KELLEY WAS THE BEST AT COMMUNICATING AND PRE-EVENT PREPARATION WAS STELLAR.  SHE EVEN PURCHASED TABLE LINENS IN A SPECIFIC PATTERN I WAS SEARCHING FOR, ARRANGED FOR ALL MY RENTALS INCLUDING HEATERS (AT A GREAT PRICE), AND EVEN PICKED UP SPECIAL FLOWERS FOR MY TABLES AT THE SF FLOWER MART. HER TEAM WAS FAST MOVING AND PROFESSIONAL IN THE KITCHEN DURING SET UP AND HER APPETIZERS OUTSTANDING. THE DETAILED CLEAN UP WAS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

43 GUESTS COCKTAIL PARTY

​ KELLEY, THE FOOD WAS TERRIFIC. THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE FOR ME. I THOUGHT FOR A WHILE WE HAD TOO MUCH FOOD BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WAS ACTUALLY THE RIGHT AMOUNT.  I FELT LIKE YOU HAD IT ALL UNDER CONTROL AND I DIDN’T HAVE TO WORRY AT ALL.  WE WILL CALL TIKI GO GO AGAIN.

CHEF KELLEY HAWKS AND HER TIKI GO GO STAFF WERE AMAZING. EASY TO WORK WITH, ON-TIME AND GREAT TASTING FOOD. SHE WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING TO MY VEGETARIAN AND GLUTEN FREE GUESTS WHILE MY MEAT EATING GUESTS DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE IT WAS A TAILORED MENU. I CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH …ALTHOUGH MAYBE NOT ENOUGH THAT I CAN’T BOOK HER AGAIN BECAUSE SHE WILL BE TOO BUSY!
