Dear Chef Madigan,

Thank you for all of the long hours that you put in for our event. We are still having our guests talk about how marvelous the food was!

Thank you,

Stacey Stecko and Larry Forgione

It was really wonderful. Many, many thanks.

-Nina Tan

Chef mike is the best. He made us feel right at home from the day we first met him. His cuisine was delicious and we were more than satisfied with how well he was able to bring together so much variety on a boat, on time, and with such beautiful presentation.

-Richard Levi

Food smelled so good when we first got on the yacht and tasted even better. All the people on the boat were very nice and polite.

-Susan O'Leary

His presentation skills are superb, whether for home dining, private parties, or work functions. He has also creatively and skillfully prepared for all aspects of my private and work parties in cluding decorations, linens and silver, flowers, food, desserts, and ice sculptures. In addition, Mr. Madigan is funny and charming. He is a pleasure to deal with and makes a very positive impression on my guests.

"Just a note to thank you for the most beautiful memories anyone could ever ask for. Andy and I can not thank you enough for the wonderful wedding ceremony you performed...
Best of luck to you and God willing will see you again to re-new our vows."
Andy and Jan

"We just wanted to thank you so much for the beautiful ceremony and for helping out with everything (especially for calming me down when I had to reschedule three weeks before the wedding!) Thank you for being so thoughtful."

"Brad and I just could not get over how our ceremony felt so complete. Your warmth, your sincerity, and the fact that you didn't read from a book made us feel that it was a special ceremony for you as well. The ceremony felt so personal and we felt connected with you. "

"The beginning of the ceremony when you had us close our eyes was particularly intense.

Here's how I'll always remember it:

As I felt the sun and the gentle breeze on my face,
I closed my eyes and heard the waves behind me.
The sand on my bare feet while I held the hand
Of the man I would spend the rest of my life with

-And I just thought
This day could not have been any more perfect."

Brad and Lyndee

"You are truly gifted and blessed... we already have 2 sister and their husbands ready to go next year! My parents might make the trip, also. They have been married 52 years."

Love,
Carolyn + Rich
