We hired Magilla’s Barbecue to cater our wedding, and we truly couldn’t have made a better choice. The food was absolutely delicious—so much so that we completely ran out, even after ordering extra! Our guests couldn’t get enough and are still talking about it. The brisket and pulled pork were better than we could have ever imagined—perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The sausages were a huge hit too! My husband and my dad can’t stop talking about the pit beans, and I (along with so many of our guests) fell in love with the mac and cheese. Every dish was a knockout. On top of the incredible food, their communication was top-notch from start to finish. Super professional, responsive, and easy to work with, which made the whole planning process so much smoother. While waiting for our wedding day, we were so excited for the food that we kept an eye on their Instagram for their pop-up events—just to get our fix! My personal favorite? The chile relleno sausages. Absolutely to die for. We’re so grateful to Magilla’s Barbecue for helping make our day even more memorable. Highly, highly recommend!

I had Love at First Bite cater my wedding back in May and I cannot say enough good things about the service and food. First, I want to say that Ariana was amazing to work with in the planning phase. She answered all of my questions and accommodated all the changes I had throughout the process and was so easy to work with the entire time! When it came to day of, everything regarding food was perfect. For cocktail hour, I unfortunately, did not get to the baja grazing table before it was ravaged by my guests hahaha, but everyone I spoke to regarding the grazing table said it was amazing! And then I literally cannot stop thinking about the lemon ricotta crostini. I still get comments specifically about it from friends to this day. All the passed appetizers were so good and then dinner was even better. The staff the day of was amazing and had a plate ready for my husband and I as soon as we sat in our seats at reception. Everything really exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much!!!!!!

"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!

With over 15 years of experience Maison D is the premier catering and hospitality company you would ever need. We do everything from catering to event planning and everything in-between. We take your event to the next level and elevate it in every way possible

I don’t usually take the time to write reviews, but after my experience with Maison D Events and Hospitality, I felt like they truly deserved one. From the first conversation all the way through the end of the event, everything was handled with so much professionalism, care, and attention to detail. Planning an event can be stressful, especially when you’re trying to make sure the food, setup, timing, and overall experience come together the way you imagined. The team at Maison D made the entire process feel so much easier. They listened to what we wanted, communicated with us throughout the process, and were very accommodating when it came to the little details that mattered to us. The food was honestly one of the highlights of the event. Everything tasted fresh, was seasoned really well, and the presentation was beautiful. Our guests kept talking about how good the food was, and several people even asked who catered the event. The portions were great, everything came out looking professional, and you could tell that they actually take pride in what they serve. What impressed me just as much as the food was the service. The staff was friendly, respectful, attentive, and professional without making things feel stiff or overly formal. They made sure our guests were taken care of and handled things behind the scenes without us having to constantly check in or worry about what was happening next. That allowed us to actually enjoy the event instead of spending the entire time trying to manage everything. There were also little touches throughout the event that showed they genuinely cared about the experience and weren’t just there to provide food and leave. That type of hospitality is hard to find. Overall, we had a really great experience with Maison D Events and Hospitality. If you’re planning a wedding, birthday, corporate event, private dinner, or any special occasion and want a team that cares about the details, provides great food, and treats your guests well, I would definitely recommend them. Thank you to the entire Maison D team for helping make our event such a great experience. We will definitely be using them again in the future!

I founded Fusion Events to answer a call that I heard. It was that feeling that I could found a business that would push boundaries and allow me to deliver what my clients wanted. Food and Events that are Fresh, Bold, and Memorable.

I found Fusion Events LA while searching for wedding vendors because I wanted catering that our guests would actually remember—not just typical wedding food. After reading so many great reviews, I called Felicia, and from our first conversation I knew I wanted to work with her. She was so welcoming, organized, and genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. When our original venue fell through, Felicia stepped in with her day-of coordination services, and I couldn’t be more grateful. On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly. I DIY’d a lot of our décor, and her team set everything up beautifully, exactly how I had envisioned it. The food was absolutely phenomenal, and our guests are still talking about it! From catering to coordination, bartending, servers, and décor setup, Fusion Events LA truly does it all. I can’t thank Felicia and her team enough for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of.

Chef Cooper and his team are an amazing group of people. I did not have to worry about a single thing in regards to food for my wedding reception. My reception was only 40ppl so, if you are having a small wedding reception, definitely look into Krafted Culture to cater it. I looked into other caterers before I came across Krafted Culture but their minimum to cater started at 60ppl and up. Communication was excellent through the entire process and customizing menu to accommodate allergies and vegan guests was not an issue. Everyone loved the food, especially the tri-tip! What was also convenient is that they also rent out tables, chairs, and table linens. Highly recommend!

Brian and Alexa met in 2016 when he was pursuing his dream operating a café in North Park.

She was quickly mesmerized by the PB&J sandwich and their delicious cold brew options. They shared some great conversations about food and life then quickly became friends, which then blossomed into something more. Who would have ever thought a PB&J, a cold brew and a conversation would turn into love and marriage.

Off the Vine Dining was recommended to me by a friend and it was the best rec I have ever received. OVD catered our wedding and served us possibly the best chicken I’ve ever had in my life, along with every other food item that night. Even the dessert was delicious, every ingredient was real and homemade, even the whip cream. Every piece of food served to us was made by hand and it tasted as such. I never expect to eat a lot when I attend a catered event, let alone an event I throw because I have a sensitive stomach. But I was able to eat everything and go back for seconds. If you’re looking for kind, honest and talented people to cater any event you’re having, don’t look anywhere else but Off the Vine Dining!

We found the prices to be reasonable as compared to other vendors, and the quality of the menu, ingredients, and overall taste to be outstanding! Additionally, Summit allowed us to make several reasonable alterations to our chosen package, which we were really grateful for, due to several guest allergies, etc! Pam was incredibly communicative throughout our entire working relationship and we are so grateful. She made the process so easy!

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.

Chef Jazzy is the private chef behind Anjahles Cali-Caribbean Cuisine, a special events-focused catering company blending fresh California ingredients with soulful Caribbean flavors. What began as a small pop-up in a Los Angeles park grew into a celebrated concept featured in the LA Times, Infatuation, Food Network’s “It’s Compliplated,” and Food & Wine. Today, she creates custom menus with plant-based and traditional options, happily accommodating all dietary needs so every guest feels cared for. With a background in anthropology and culinary arts, she loves turning each couple’s love story into a memorable meal.

Jazzy and Anjahles catered my wedding in December 2021. The process was smooth from the get go. I think we were their first wedding, but you would have never known. Jazzy was professional in communication and following up with our requests. We wanted the menu to be half vegan and half non-vegan and it delievered. Our guests couldn’t decide what their favorite items were. I still dream about the onion tarts and crab cakes!! They were an amazing part of our special day and I would recommend them to anyone. The food was so flavorful and was served timely. We love Anjahles!!!

We offer full-scale event production and catering services in Southern California region. We aim to use local ingredients to highlight regional cuisines from around the world. We handle parties for families of 10, small weddings, up to large scale corporate events for 400 guests.

Homegrown Kitchen really knocked our party hors d’oeuvres & dinner out of the park! She took the time to understand our tastes and provided selection of tasty options to choose between. The actual day of-guests and family RAVED about how delicious the food was from start to finish, and the potions were more than generous. Be sure to verify needs for plating/dinnerware and any kitchen requirements per your venue. Highly Recommend Homegrown Kitchen!

We dreamed of this food for weeks before the wedding, and on the day of it was just as good as the tasting. This is truly the best option for foodies planning a wedding in SoCal and we are beyond satisfied with the service and food from our caterer. Our guests also loved the food and drinks and said that it was the best food they have had at a wedding.
