Kelly & the whole Buttercup team took care of so much more than just our catering. Everything from the food, to florals, to set up was great! My husband is Pakistani and really wanted gulab jamun as part of our dessert spread & they made it happen. Our florals, table scapes, etc were just as I had envisioned. I highly recommend Buttercup for not just catering but the whole package.

  • Serves Desert Center, CA

"AYLI" is the place many of us have spent years building, creating, growing, and changing. We are attached! Our business is only as strong as our team, and we focus on developing and fostering our team members so that they can excel at what they are most passionate about. It is safe to say we all love food, love to help our clients celebrate, and know how to put together a fantastic party!

First of all my Husband and I wanted our guests to be comfortable and enjoy good food and vibes and Rachel and Phyllis made that happen. They offered great food choices to which we went with food stations... my Aunt is still talking about the mac and cheese station. We tasted quite a few and you can not go wrong with any of them. My Husband is a trained chef and he was so excited about how good everything was. I mean, delicious. In honor of my Dad they also created a ice cream sandwhich station, letting me pick all the choices I wanted. I am so grateful. We got married at The California Botanical Garden in Claremont. We chose our ceremony at the California court yard and our reception at the Lewis family forest pavilion. It was perfect. Rachel and Phyllis let us walk the venue as often as needed/wanted. They worked beautifully with our vendors and our family and friends who were helping with some set up. The whole time Rachel helped me, even when she did not need to. All the way to the point that she held up the back of my dress as we were leaving so it did not get dirty. It ended up raining on my wedding night and the team got all of us covered and my guest were able to sit and be dry and enjoy all the food stations. Miracle workers. In planning they were excellent too, all the colors and different ideas of plates, napkins, etc. They helped me plan it out so well. Thank you Rachel and Phyllis, anyone would be in good hands with you two and your team.

YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Serves Desert Center, 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.
