ABOUT US
since 1995
I was born & raised in Emporia, VA along with five other siblings. I attended Greensville County Public Schools, ECPI in Richmond, VA and later attended Southside Community College. I often watched and assisted my mom cook many delicious meals as a child. From that time on I had the ambition and passion to want to bless others with my talented gift from God.
I have two sons that I raised and at an early age I had no choice but to prepare meals. By taking on this responsibility it increased my interest in serving and preparing meals for others. In 2005, I was asked to cater my first wedding. The bride and groom requested a tasting. They loved the items that I prepared for them from my menu. As this couple's wedding day got closer I was nervous; however my passion for cooking and creating a beautiful atmosphere that was pleasing to the hosts and their guests, outweighed my nervousness and the wedding was fantastic! From that day on, I have received several phone calls telling me how wonderful a job I did with the food and venue. I am always pleased with the comments and favorable compliments. Since then, I have enjoyed servicing and preparing delicious meals for weddings, baby showers, proms, graduations, birthday parties, business meetings, holiday parties and other events.
I thank you for taking the time to view my webpage and your consideration for Howard's Catering to furnish your next event.
