"My experience with Opoku Catering was great. She arrived on time and the food was delicious. We had five courses cooked fresh, smoothies and appetizers. Chef Gail even volunteered to open and pour the wine pairing for each course. Also appreciate the special touches like the printed menus, tablescape and floral arrangements. My friends and I would definitely use this business again."
