Jil Baldi & Bonnie Stoilkovich have owned and operated Cherrypie Catering since 1999. Together they have completed hundreds of events and weddings, each one meticulously organized down to the very last detail.

Jil began her career as an event planner for many upscale restaurants, designing personalized events, weddings and corporate functions for discriminating clients from around the world. She started her own private catering company “Tutti Gusti Catering” in 1990 and in 1999, started “Cherrypie Catering” with her now partner, Bonnie Stoilkovich. Jil’s amazing passion for detail and creative ideas lends an expertise to Cherrypie Catering that you will not find with most other caterers.

Bonnie began her career at The Regent Beverly Wilshire, where she helped manage three restaurants and room service for this five star hotel, as well as assisting the General Manager and Food & Beverage Director with special events, including the yearly Vintner Dinner, hosted by The Beverly Wilshire Hotel every year. With ever a watchful eye on the hotel’s Executive Chef Urs Balmer, Bonnie began to learn the ins and outs of the professional kitchen and a love affair with food began. Bonnie then became the Executive Chef for VODA in Santa Monica, becoming one of the few noted female chefs in Los Angeles at the time, written up in LA Weekly, The Santa Monica Business Journal, GQ, Gourmet & many other noted magazines and newspapers.
