TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying several charcuterie boards from Kristen including having her cater my daughter’s wedding, and each experience has been exceptional. The presentation is truly artistic- each board is thoughtfully arranged and visually stunning- while the quality and flavor of the selections are equally impressive. Everything is fresh, delicious and clearly prepared with great attention to detail. I highly recommend her services for any event where you want both elegance and outstanding taste.”

“Oh my goodness the charcuterie was a huge hit! Everything was absolutely delicious. They were perfect, everyone raved about them! The quality was off the charts. Everything was fresh and delicious, it was incredible- I have to say my coworkers are a picky bunch and they left nothing but crumbs. They were so happy with everything.”

“Kristen Citrano, owner of The Fat Hen, did the food for my wedding of 30 guests, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From the moment we started planning, Kristen was wonderful to work with- organized, creative, and clearly passionate about what she does. The presentation was absolutely stunning. Every charcuterie board, grazing display, and petite bite was arranged so beautifully that it felt like edible artwork. Our guests kept commenting on how gorgeous everything looked before they even started eating! And the table matched the presentation. Everything was fresh, delicious and thoughtfully curated with a great variety of flavors and options. You can tell Kristen puts so much care into every detail. She is incredibly talented, and it’s obvious that she truly enjoys her craft- it shows in the quality and creativity of her work. For a smaller wedding like ours, the grazing set up was perfect. It created such a welcoming and elegant atmosphere while allowing guests to mingle to enjoy amazing food throughout the event. If you’re looking for someone to create beautiful charcuterie boards, grazing tables, or elegant bite sized catering for an event, Kristen and The Fat Hen are an amazing choice. She helped make our wedding feel extra special, and I am so grateful we chose her. if you’re considering booking her for an event, don’t hesitate- she is absolutely worth it.”
