  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Goleta, CA

Hearth is a family-owned, Latin-inspired wood-fired pizzeria based in Moorpark, California. We began as a small catering service that grew into our dream of opening a restaurant. Now, we have the privilege of returning to our roots by bringing our ovens, handmade sourdough, seasonal ingredients, and warm hospitality to weddings and events throughout Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties. We’re here for couples who want to skip the traditional steak or chicken dinner and share something more fun, personal, and memorable with their guests, without spending their entire wedding budget on dinner.

“From the bride and groom: Seb, Kelly, and their team emanate hospitality. It just flows through them so easily. Not to be dramatic, but they truly were one of the best parts of our wedding. From the very beginning, they walked alongside us in the process and brought so much ease and assurance to what can otherwise be a pretty overwhelming season of planning. They go above and beyond to make sure every detail is in place, they’re timely and organized, and they’re so patient with changes, questions, and all the little things that inevitably come up. Then there’s the food, & the food is so damnn good. We are always trying to figure out a reason to get ourselves to Moorpark just to eat at Hearth. There is something so special about having people who are not only incredibly good at what they do, but are also thoughtful and cool and just genuinely enjoyable to have around. They brought such an excellent vibe to our wedding day. We got SO many comments about the food that day—people telling us it was some of the best wedding food they’d ever had—and still two years later, we still have friends bringing it up! I’d do it again and again in a heartbeat. And as if we needed one more reason to love them, they sent us off on our honeymoon with an extra heart-shaped pizza! We love Seb! We love Kelly! We love their team! We love Hearth!! They became such a sweet part of our wedding story, and I genuinely cannot recommend them enough. You would absolutely be making a mistake if you didn’t have them at your event!!! From the mother of the bride: We are so grateful for the outstanding service provided at our daughter’s wedding by the Hearth team. Their pizza was absolutely delicious, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about both the creative ingredients and the thoughtful selections they offered. Beyond the food itself, their professionalism made a real difference to our family. From set up to clean up, they handled every detail with care and insured our family and guest had a truly memorable dining experience. Their team’s attention to service excellence did not go unnoticed. We are so thankful they were such an important part of our special day. I would be delighted to recommend Hearth to anyone looking for exceptional catering.”

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

“Absolutely blown away by the empanadas from Fuegos! As an Argentinean, I know my empanadas inside and out, and these are the real deal.

Whether it's the classic beef, loaded with juicy, seasoned goodness, or their creative vegan empanadas, every bite is like a little taste of home. I recently used their catering services for a work event, and they went above and beyond to customize the empanadas to perfectly match my taste and that of my guests. The beautiful packaging added an extra touch of elegance, leaving everyone impressed! Not only were they on time with the delivery, but they were also incredibly organized, ensuring everything went smoothly. Their attention to detail truly made the event even more special!

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.

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.
