Hazy Barbecue 

5.0

Danville, CA
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves California

Hazy Barbecue is a catering company based in Danville, California. They specialize in Texas-style barbecue and American fare with dishes featuring brisket, ribs and salmon to salads. With a central location in the Bay Area, they serve events around San Francisco, from Napa to San Jose. Hazy Barbecue catering team welcomes couples to taste dishes to create a custom menu. On the day of the wedding, your dishes can be picked up, delivered, or served with the full catering package. This service is ideal for large events, and wait staff will be on-site throughout the meal to set up, serve, and clean up. Individually boxed meals available!

We hired Hazy for October wedding in Walnut Creek and it has quickly become a fan favorite! We have eaten there personally multiple times after having never tried it before our wedding tasting. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food - we had kids eating meat when they normally hate meat!! The communication was always prompt and easy! While we did have a few hiccups due to miscommunication Hazys team was quick to correct and get everything in order. I would only recommend slightly warmer catering dishes to help keep the food a bit warmer. But overall we were very pleased with the service and the food!

"WOW!!! If referrals are what you want, you can count on us for that!!! Where do I begin? 1. The service? EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING, TOP RATE 2. The food? INCREDIBLE, 5 STAR, SCRUMPTIOUS, OUT OF THIS WORLD 3. Professional? YOU ARE A PERFECTIONIST, YOUR TEAM IS AMAZING, SPECTACULAR Each of our guests have commented on how wonderful our reception was. They all went on and on about how great the food was, Your dedication to making each event you cater absolutely perfect was obvious from the first day we met, but when I learned that it was your daughter's birthday the same day as our reception, you blew me away! I know you were throwing her a big party on Sunday, but you were with us instead of sending someone in your place. You are a consummate professional. Again, from the bottom of my heart, we THANK YOU, we appreciate the incredible job your team did and we will always use you and refer to anyone in need of a caterer.

  • Serves California

Founded by Food Network winning Chef Shieya, The Kookery is a craft catering company focused on making your dream wedding experience a reality. We specialize in curating menus as unique as you! We collaborate with you and your vendors for a perfect experience down to the smallest details.

Awarded Best of Zola
How can I even begin to describe the greatness that is Chef Shieya and the Kookery and how wonderful she made our wedding?! It started off with planning mode. With an American and a Brazilian getting married, we wanted to have a dish from each culture to make it special for our guests. With a sea bass dish and the steak picanha, everyone could choose. The sous vide steak was so tender, cooked to perfection, the color on it so beautiful, it was the winner. We had a few vegans at the party, and she took care of them ahead of time and knew exactly where they were sitting and who they were. And as always, Chef wanted to kick it up a notch, so she got some black truffles to really make the dishes pop. The full course meal from the watermelon salad to squid ink pasta to the main courses to the wedding cake she made herself was decadent, super tasty, and plated like a million dollars. Aside from the food being perfect, Chef Shieya and the Kookery team delivered a professional experience like no other. From setup to breakdown, they had it handled to where we didn't have to worry at all. The team arrived early in the morning. We went up to go get ready and change for the wedding party, and by the time we came back down they were already completely set up and serving guests. There are so many attention to detail things we didn't even think of, nor did we have to because they already knew what we needed, even though we didn't. So many touches that just made everything run so smoothly. We didn't have to do a thing, and all the guests were taken care of. People still talk about how good our wedding reception food was, saying it was the best they've ever had, better than the regular boring standard food at other weddings. Our special day was made so much more magical because of Shieya and her team. She does everything only to perfection, and even goes a step further to make it personal and unforgettable. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I had my first shot at managing a sushi restaurant when I took over an empty section of the family restaurant and introduced sushi to my customers. It was a challenge that I will never regret accepting. It was fun, a lot of fun! I had the opportunity to work with some really talented and creative chefs. I quickly learned that it’s not just about having fresh fish anymore. Sushi dining has transformed into a culture. A culture built by imagination and creativity. With the help of GD and the support of my family, I took all that experience and fused it with my imagination and created Yooshi Sushi Catering and Event Production.

Thomas and his team were very professional , had a nice classy set up and most of all the quality of the food was amazing! Anything you ate at my wedding was tasty.
