| Testimonials |
Over the past 25 years I have put on many events and worked with countless caterers. I can honestly say that Lisa Friedman is my favorite caterer. She is professional, fun, and extremely easy to work with. Her menu suggestions and choices are ever-changing and always delicious. She really takes the time to listen to what I want and need and offers great suggestions. She is not satisfied unless I am thrilled with what she has provided. I feel very confident in recommending her to my friends and business associates and have done so many times. I have never been disappointed!

Lisa's combined experiences as a busy chef and mother position her well to provide practical, doable, real-world strategies and recipes for supporting healthy food choices in children and families. She is committed to researching and presenting the latest food and health-related information in a user-friendly, understandable way. All this, combined with her impeccable organization and sense of humor made this an incredibly informative, useful and fun way to support children's healthy food choices, and ours as adults, as well.

My medical practice held an evening open house event for colleagues, employees, friends and family and significant others to celebrate the arrival of a new physician and the christening of our new office space. Lisa and her Wooden Spoon team were great. Every piece of the experience was perfectly professional. The food - which we decided upon, with mix-and-match suggestions from Wooden Spoon - was truly superior. The service staff were simultaneously friendly and unobtrusive. Perhaps most important of all were the facts that I had only to make choices and decisions - Wooden Spoon took care of each last piece of work - and our guests had a great time.

Fabulous food, great attention to detail, pleasant staff; if you have the Wooden Spoon cater, you can enjoy the event and not have to worry about the food or service." Gratefully, Deb Steines |

"Lisa Friedman of The Wooden Spoon is undoubtly one of the finest caterers we have ever done business with. She recently prepared a fabulous luncheon buffet for 125 people following a memorial service for my brother-in-law. The varied hors d’oeuvres, entrees and desserts were all delicious and beautifully presented. Lisa and her staff were very professional and so caring of everyone’s needs. I will certainly engage her catering services for any future occasion we may have." - Hanne N. Williams
