Awarded Best of Zola
100 % recommend this company! I spoke with the owner about how I wanted to offer a pre-ceremony snack for my 130 guests when they arrived at the wedding venue. My ideas were meats and cheese, but with Covid I didn’t want a buffet where guests helped themselves and potentially touched someone else’s food. From that, the owner José came up with lots of creative solutions- he included me in every step of the process to ensure that I would be happy with the finished product. My guests raved about it! Beautiful presentation, high quality and delicious food. Jose is a true professional and takes pride in excellent customer service. I got married at Paradise Cove 6/2021.

In addition, we tasted all the meats and sides for a BBQ buffet. We chose pulled pork, chicken quarters and added brisket. Our 3 sides were mac & cheese, collard greens and potato salad w/ cornbread. They were ALL delicious. Our guests raved about everything and especially the greens! We also opted for a grazing table for our guests. It was beautifully presented and absolutely beautiful and delicious. Our guests were in awe! She even made us our own plate because she knew we were busy talking with our guests.
