"Literally The Best Wedding Food I've Ever Had." -Guest at our wedding If you are even thinking about booking Americano for your wedding, stop thinking and DO IT. Hiring them was single-handedly the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process. We knew we wanted our food to be a highlight, not an afterthought, and the Americano team delivered a culinary experience that was beyond our wildest dreams. Our guests are still raving about it weeks later! From our very first inquiry, their catering manager (Beni) and team were an absolute dream to work with. They were responsive, incredibly organized, and genuinely excited about creating a menu that felt personal to us. They took our vision and elevated it with creative ideas, turning the tasting into one of our favorite pre-wedding memories. They made the entire process feel completely seamless and stress-free. Now, let's talk about the food on the wedding day. Show-stopping. We had the burrata with prosciutto and fig jam for a starter, and people were losing their minds over how fresh and flavorful it was. For mains, the slow-braised short rib literally melted in your mouth, and the sea bass was cooked to absolute perfection. It wasn't just "good wedding food"—it was exceptional food, period. The presentation was stunning, the ingredients were top-tier, and everything was served hot and flawlessly. Multiple guests—including our pickiest family members—pulled us aside to say it was the most delicious and memorable meal they had ever had at a wedding. Americano didn't just cater our wedding; they created an unforgettable experience that became a core memory of our celebration. They are worth every single penny and then some for the impact they will have on your day. Book them. You will be so, so happy you did!

  • Serves El Cerrito, CA

Catering the SF Bay Area since 2011 - we are an extension of your hospitality and believe in meaningful events with delicious food and reliable service. Our team is composed of industry professionals who are committed to the success of your event.

I hired MidSummer Kitchen to cater my wedding and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was phenomenal, everyone kept coming over to me during the reception to tell me how much they loved the food. Communication was so easy - quick responses, easy to understand, and always professional. The Midsummer catering crew during my wedding were also very professional and kind. Leading up to the wedding, I worked a lot with Cleodia. She was very kind, professional, and understanding whenever I had question or had to make changes to the plan. 2 months before my wedding, I had a problem with my venue and Cleodia was a great help. She helped me remain calm during my panic, helped me find possible new venues, and worked with me to create a quick solution to a major problem. I honestly don't think I would have found a new venue without Cleodia's help and I am very grateful. I would 100% recommend MidSummer Kitchen for all your catering needs. If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would.

Huria's

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves El Cerrito, CA
  • Offer

Huria’s brings the authentic taste of mobile woodfired catering from Brooklyn to the North Bay Area. Based in Bodega Bay, we are a family-run business specializing in rustic-style weddings and rehearsal dinners. Our vintage-inspired pop-up kitchen design creates a charming focal point for your celebration, serving up artisanal pizzas and woodfired dishes that provide a one-of-a-kind, delicious experience. We focus on high-quality ingredients and a warm, communal atmosphere that turns a meal into a memorable event.

If we could give Huria's 10 stars, we would! Adriana and Chef Mohaimen are an absolute joy to work with :) We hired Huria's as our caterer for our 90 person wedding. Since our wedding was taking place on a private residence, we had very specific criteria for a caterer and basically needed them to be self sufficient for gas, electricity, kitchen space, etc. Huria's took care of that without a problem! From the beginning, Adriana had clear and responsive communication. She answered my questions very quickly with care and knowledge. Their menu is absolutely delicious and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the carefully crafted appetizers and mains. My now husband and I originally had our reservations about wood fired pizza, fearing that the pizzas would be cold by the time guests came up to get it, but Huria's has their system down to a science. Every single guest was quickly served a hot meal and there was plenty of leftover food for second and third helpings. We also received so many compliments on the incredibly cute set up that Huria's brings to each event they cater. Their woodfired pizza oven, pop up bistro, and tables add rustic charm to any venue. Guests were blown away by the set up and it photographs beautifully! The team at Huria's is professional, warm, transparent about pricing, and provides incredible food with great service. I cannot recommend Huria's highly enough to anyone who is looking for a food caterer in the Northern California area! Thank you so much Adriana and Chef for making our wedding feel (and taste) so special, we are so grateful for you! :)

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I cannot recommend AnyThyme Catering highly enough. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Jolene and Chef Lyss genuinely care about the couples they work with and the experience they create. Throughout the entire planning process, their communication was excellent—responsive, thoughtful, organized, and always focused on making sure we felt supported and taken care of. What makes AnyThyme so special is that you truly work directly with the people who care most about your event. Jolene and Chef Lyss were incredibly invested in bringing our vision to life and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we could have wanted. Every interaction felt personal, and it was obvious that this is much more than a business to them: it is something they pour their hearts into. The food was great. We received countless compliments from our guests, and everything was executed seamlessly. Their team was professional, attentive, and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure the evening ran smoothly. They took extra care for our guests with allergies and one guest who has Celiac, to make sure there was no cross contamination and everything would be safe and secure. Above and beyond! Beyond the amazing food and service, what we will remember most is how cared for we felt. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but AnyThyme consistently made us feel like we were in good hands. They were kind, accommodating, solution-oriented, and genuinely excited to celebrate alongside us. We are so grateful to Jolene, Chef Lyss, and the entire AnyThyme team for helping make our wedding day so special. If you're looking for a caterer that combines great food, smooth execution, and truly heartfelt service, look no further. We would choose them again in a heartbeat.

Board and Bloom LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Starts at $240
  • Serves El Cerrito, CA

Board and Bloom provides a luxury, unlimited charcuterie experience that is a favorite for wedding cocktail hours and late-night snacks. Unlike traditional grazing tables, we offer an interactive service where each guest receives their own fully customizable board built right before their eyes. As the host, you have total control over the menu, choosing exactly what we serve to reflect your taste. We are committed to inclusivity and can easily accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free, and other dietary restrictions on-site, ensuring every guest enjoys a premium, personalized treat.

Overall: great food and quantities, thoughtful, tailored experience, beautiful presentation, and very professional. Angela is incredible to work with. After checking with me that it was okay, she came to the venue a few days before the event to get the lay of the land. Day of, she arrived with plenty of time to set up and found the perfect spot to set up. Her friendly and calm demeanor made all the guests feel quite comfortable. I’m a vegetarian, and not only did Angela accommodate that, but she also incorporated all my favorite cheese board items (fresh fruit, dried fruit, gouda, brie, jam, olives, dark chocolate, and more!) and preferences into the assortment. I had told her I love figs and goat cheese, and she even found a fig goat cheese! My guests were happy and impressed, and I was delighted. We had more than enough food, and Angela even sent me home with a nice amount of leftovers. Really could not have asked for a better experience and highly recommend booking Board & Bloom for any bridal shower, wedding related event, birthday, company happy hour, or special occasion brunch.

  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves El Cerrito, CA

At Latin and Asian Hospitality Group, we believe your wedding menu should be as unique as your love story. Based in Campbell, CA and serving the greater Bay Area — including San Jose, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Redwood City, Los Gatos, and beyond — we are a full-service catering and bar company specializing in bold, beautifully crafted fusion cuisine. 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!
