Meet the Team

NaisLee Catering started in 2023 as two long-time friends and colleagues looking to become their own bosses after 7 years of working side-by-side as pastry chefs in high-end catering and corporate dining. Together, Naisbel and Haylee make a dream team, and they look forward to serving you delicious food at your table and events!
