Affordable Chef Services LLC 
Rating: 4.2 (5 reviews)
  • Starts at $26
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

Whether you're searching for a caterer for a dinner party, birthday, anniversary, wedding reception, holiday, company picnic, or other event, personal Chef Mark Gallagher of Affordable Chef Services of Santa Cruz can custom cater a menu just for you. Our highly trained professional staff have the experience and passion to cater your special event.

Mark and his team were wonderful from the start. He was always prompt to respond, kind, and quickly provided any updates to the menu/guest count/linen color change/ etc. We felt so comfortable working with Chef Mark right from the start and that was even more confirmed when we were able to finally meet him on our special day. Mark was adaptable to our decision to move where we were hosting dinner with such a supportive response "It is your day, we are serving dinner where you would like to" with no complaint at all. He arrived a few minutes early to make sure he and his team knew the venue layout and quickly got to work! He was personable making many guests laugh and smile (and even gave them sneak peak tastes into dinner and dessert!). Chef Mark also came down while we were eating to make sure that all guests were satisfied and boy were their smiles on everyones faces! We started with an array of appetizers from olive tapenade to turkey meatballs (my fav!) to ceviche. Our dinner was delicious- chicken, salmon, rice, asparagus, salad, and for dessert, chocolate cake and cheesecake (we ate it all!). All of the food was so good that we were getting texts the next day about all the specifics to our menu from our guests. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Chef Mark if you want comfortable, reliable, and good vibes on your wedding day!

YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m speechless from the service I received from this amazing sushi company. I loved the food, designs, and service!! I would recommend this sushi over any other ones. Amazing job for my wedding. Everyone loved the food and I’m looking forward to hiring this amazing sushi and event production company again!!

Our menus draw from Latin, Asian, Mediterranean, Italian and American culinary traditions, delivering an experience your guests will talk about long after the last dance.

I used Latin & Asian Hospitality Group for my wedding this April because I wanted to mix my and my husband's cultures throughout our wedding day. These were by far the best vendors I worked with for my wedding. From the very beginning, Roddy & his team were so attentive, and lines of communication were always open for any questions I had. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, there was a lot of stress from other vendors, but my calls with Roddy about finalizing details were always so grounding & he worked so intentionally to provide a stress-free process for us. The day of the wedding, the food was absolutely amazing, and they made the day such a lovely experience, not only for us as a couple but also for so many of our family members, going above and beyond to meet their specific dietary needs! 10/10 company & team. Their hearts for giving the best experience will always be something my now-husband & I look back on and cherish about our wedding day!

Chef Anna Masteller 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

Chef Anna, a Carmel-by-the-Sea native, began her career as a celebrity private chef while attending culinary school in San Francisco. Her classical training was complemented by deep nutritional education at The Esalen Institute and the Hippocrates Health Institute. As a sought-after wellness retreat chef and wedding chef, Chef Anna has traveled extensively across the United States and internationally. Her home base is Figure Eight Island, NC. A true hospitality professional, Chef Anna received the Michelin Key award in 2024 and 2025.

We called Chef Anna “the Zen Chef” because she radiated calm and warmth every time she cooked or dropped off meals. On our wedding day, she was the one vendor who was fully calm, centered, and confident, an incredibly grounding presence for everyone. We had six meals with her, from the welcome dinner to brunches, reception, and an unforgettable late-night spread. She handled everything; shopping, cooking, cleanup and made us feel deeply cared for as a family during our long wedding weekend on Figure Eight Island, NC. Aside from cooking, which she obviously loves, she said her favorite part of her business is helping people make the most of their time together, and that was absolutely true for us. It felt like we bought the gift of time, which is priceless. And we can’t stop talking about the food. Literally better than any restaurant, truly. As a group of well-traveled foodies, that says a lot. Thank you, Chef Anna, for becoming one of our favorite core memories. We’ve already booked her for our anniversary trip to Wrightsville Beach next year.
