Suree Crook
Co-Owner

Suree not only brings a heritage of fine Asian Cuisine from her family’s restaurants in Boston, but extensive “front of the house” background as concierge and management in some of the grandest hotels in Thailand. At any time you may find her cooking in our kitchens, managing the office and our staff, but by far her favorite “job” is raising their son Tyler.

William Weigle
Chef

Will has been with us since our opening. Like some of the best Chefs, Will is self-taught and has garnered his knowledge from 20 years in the area in the Industry, the last 10 years as Chef at the Marriott in South Portland and Coast 2 Coast Catering. Creativity, enthusiasm and staying on top of all the culinary trends are Will’s strong suit, among his many assets. He looks forward to meeting our clients and interacting with them throughout their event; from tastings to on-site service. Not to mention, he’s our go-to computer guru…you rock Will!

Additionally, we are grateful to have some of the finest servers and bartenders in the area to serve your events. Our professional, fun and courteous staff is there for you from set-up to break-down!

Reviews demonstrate that guests of Coast 2 Coast events rave about the planning of the event, accessibility of the chef and memorable food and service.
