Weddings

“We cannot say enough about the wonderful addition Chef Jason and No Reservations VT were to our wedding celebration. His talent, professionalism, and ease in navigating a new kitchen are unmatched. Jason worked with us to craft the perfect menu for our group, and every dish was dynamite. We are still raving about the meal, and will be talking about it for as long as we talk about our wedding day.” Celia Gould · Wedding · 2025

“My husband and I got to experience the magic Chef Jason creates this past weekend for our wedding. Not only was he incredibly kind and beyond easy to work with, but his food was absolutely incredible. Everything came out perfectly on time according to our timeline we solidified together, and each course was somehow better than the last. We all loved it so much, guests were fighting over who could take leftovers home the next day. I cannot recommend Chef Jason enough. He took our wedding to the next level and made our big day that much more memorable.” Gab DePinto · Wedding · Newbury, Vermont · 2025

“Chef Jason is phenomenal. We had Chef Jason provide our family with a celebratory brunch for the day after a small family wedding in Woodstock, VT, and he did not disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious, the ambiance he created, and his down-to-earth professional persona was just what we needed the morning after the wedding. Everything was top notch — from calls and emails, to setup and to take down and cleaning. Do not hesitate to hire Chef Jason for any private chef experience.”‍ ‍Ashley Martignetti · Wedding Brunch · Woodstock, Vermont · 2025

“Chef Jason came highly recommended and did not disappoint. From the first communication to the last, he was prompt in responding, well organized, and thoughtful. He graciously accommodated our food allergies and preferences, and the final menu was creative, fresh, and very delicious. We especially loved the fresh pasta with ramp pesto and asparagus. Jason’s professionalism, communication, and culinary excellence, together with the execution on the wedding day exceeded our expectations.” Tricia Mattox-Larson · Wedding · 2025

“Chef Jason and his team delivered a truly five-star culinary experience for our black tie micro-wedding. From the beginning Jason was a huge value-add, with excellent suggestions for the menu and for additional vendors. He delivered a magical and delicious experience, from the charcuterie board and beef crostini, to the creamy butternut squash, to the Dijon crusted rack of lamb and the roasted corn risotto — everything was to die for.” Luiza Santos · Micro-Wedding · 2024

“Chef Jason expertly prepared an exquisite rehearsal dinner meal for our bride and groom and their families. His professionalism and experience were evident throughout all stages of planning. The culmination was a seamlessly presented, magnificent four-course meal complete with subtle ingredients which elevated each offering. To have all of this in the comfort of your own space is nothing short of perfection.” Marcia Calloway · Rehearsal Dinner · 2023

Private Dining & Second Home

“Jason has cooked for my family on numerous occasions over the last four years. Each time just keeps getting better and better. His imagination and creativity are second to none. The meals are truly experiences and only outdone by what a terrific person he is. I only wish he could cook every meal for us. And if you do hire him, make sure that the hamachi crudo is on the menu. It is the best we have ever had.” Ed & Jenn Ciarimboli · Private Dining · Woodstock, Vermont · 2026

“I had the pleasure of working with Chef Jason on a special Galentine’s Day dinner for 8 girlfriends. Jason’s quick response communication and flexibility with the menu made the planning easy. The four course meal was delicious and received rave reviews from all my guests. Chef showed up prepared and ready to cook, and made the whole house smell amazing when people arrived. And magically by the time we were finishing our olive oil cake with blood orange, my dishes were done and the kitchen cleaner than when he arrived.” Hillary Graves · Private Dinner · 2023

“I’ve been fortunate to have had the absolute pleasure of experiencing one of Chef Jason’s tasting menus. The gnudi and the oysters were the best we’ve ever had. The one word that comes to mind when thinking back on the several meals he’s prepared for us is care. You can tell the difference in someone who takes the time to think about the small details — that’s what you’ll get with Chef Jason.” Brett Ralph · Private Dining · 2022

Celebrations & Anniversaries

“Chef Jason prepared a simply delicious 40th anniversary dinner for our family while staying in Woodstock. He was great to work with from start to finish, honoring our wish for a meal prepared with local and seasonal ingredients as well as gluten free. We enjoyed perfectly cooked grass fed rib-eye steaks along with the freshest most flavorful accompaniments. Spoil yourself and book with No Reservations — I highly recommend it.” Sheri Catania · Anniversary Dinner · Woodstock, Vermont · 2025

“We hired Chef Jason to cater a family celebration of my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary last weekend, and the night went even better than I’d hoped. Jason prepared a gorgeous multi-course meal that the entire family adored. Each dish was flavorful, fresh, elegant and unique. Jason and Nancy were delightful to speak with, found their way around the kitchen surprisingly well without needing to ask questions, and left everything clean and organized.” Liz Bartlett · Anniversary Celebration · 2025

“I highly recommend Chef Jason. We hired him to cook for my father’s 70th birthday. He took the time to personalize a menu with me, including a kids menu for our smallest guests. He was professional, kind and thorough through the planning process. The food was exceptional and beautifully presented. It was a top notch, memorable evening.” Lauren Iannucci · Birthday Dinner · 2023
