TESTIMONIALS

Mollie Anderson

Corporate Event

Matt and Random gave our team such a great experience. We learned how to make delicious cocktails and the iron chef-style competition made the whole experience super engaging and fun. It was a perfect team bonding activity for our small group of coworkers on a work trip in Denver. Matt was also super flexible on timing (we reached out with only a week or two of notice) and he took care of all logistics promptly so we didn't have to worry about anything. Matt is high energy and a great teacher - 10/10 would recommend.
