Little Lily's Kitchen 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Serves Pasadena, CA

At Little Lily’s Kitchen in Los Angeles, we understand the difference between "custom" and "bespoke". One is choosing bits and pieces of someone else's vision, and the other is actually creating something that is YOUR vision. We start with a blank sheet of paper, and on that, we work with you to create an experience that is all about you and yours. A reflection of the couple. Something to be genuinely excited about sharing with your guests. Our chefs build a completely original menu for you, after an in-depth consultation is completed. The consultation allows us to understand the vision for your guest experience and individual needs.

Kevin, Kari, Brooke & team made our Wedding Reception experience fantastic. We had a very specific vision and they were able to help us execute on it after a round of tasting. The guests loved it as well!

There service and staff were immaculate and we can't wait to have them back again on campus in the spring. Not only would I recommend them to any other school but also to anyone doing any event where great food is needed.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Chef Shieya and her team could not have been more amazing. They are your best friend if you're a DIY bride! Before the wedding, she helped us plan and adjust our menu to work within our budget, and offered advice on how to get the most bang for our buck. She came up with an incredible off-menu appetizer (savory s'mores bite!) and gave me advice about what to rent and how much alcohol to order. We had kind of a challenging venue - all outdoors, limited prep space, limited setup and breakdown time, we weren't sure if we would have running water available - and the Kookery team knocked it out of the park. If there were problems on the day, I didn't hear about them! They responded to every challenge gracefully and creatively, and they truly went above and beyond. Also, the food was AMAZING. All my guests loved the food. And they had such fun personal touches! Each signature cocktail had a little custom stamp with our initials, one on the marshmallow garnish, and the other on the ice cube. These guys were truly the MVPs of the day. I went in with a budget and a vague idea, and walked away feeling like I'd had a five-star luxury experience. We couldn't be more grateful!

    Welcome to My House Events, a mission-centered catering company serving Los Angeles, New Orleans, and beyond. We partner with BIPOC, Women, and LGBTQ+ chefs and event professionals to create extraordinary events that go beyond traditional catering. From food trucks to lavish multi-course dinners, our diverse menus are tailored to your tastes, ensuring an unforgettable culinary experience. At My House Events, we take pride in curating events that exceed expectations while cultivating lasting relationships with our valued clients.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Since our venue did not have a preferred vendor list or a built-in catering team, we were given maximum flexibility (which is also intimidating, as the choice and freedom can be a bit overwhelming). To help narrow things down, our planner prompted us to choose a single type of cuisine that we like, and work from there. We both love New Orleans / Cajun cuisine, so enter My House. From their first proposal, we were all in. It featured childhood favorites like fried catfish, and out-of-the-ordinary passed appetizers like mini chicken & waffles. Our first calls with them were relaxed, collaborative and informative. Our first tasting, while kinda pricey (isn't everything?), went really well - and gave us a chance to provide more feedback and tweaks, which were promptly applied to later estimates and menus. As our planning evolved, it was a little tough to try to keep the budget in check, and it meant making some tough calls to cut costs (for instance - jettisoning late night bites), My House was always willing to work with both us and our planner on finding financial solutions - but there were a few moments where we felt like we didn't know what to expect, and stressed out a bit when we saw the latest numbers. I suppose this is part of the process for lots of couples. I never lost faith that they'd turn it out on the big day, and I'm happy to share that they did just that. They created an incredibly tasteful display for our buffet, which struck a balance between rustic and elegant. The staff was helpful, efficient, and professional - but I want to give special highlight to Simone. Simone was personable, diligent and intuitive. She knows exactly what she's doing, any couple would be very lucky to have her running any aspect of their event - because she does it with aplomb. The food was absolutely delicious. Big, bold flavors - zesty, crunchy, creamy, smoky, cheesy, sweet and spicy and everything in between . We loved hosting such a delectable menu that departed from the traditional wedding fare, but stayed true to the cuisine of New Orleans and the tastes of Southern comfort. So, so, so, so good!

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

    I’m speechless from the service I received from this amazing sushi company. I loved the food, designs, and service!! I would recommend this sushi over any other ones. Amazing job for my wedding.

    Fire and wood was one of the most memorable things about my whole wedding. Everyone loved the food! My roots are in the east coast, so when I read about Chef Thomas and saw his food photos, I was drooling with anticipation. I loved what he had to offer on his catering menu but I challenged him to make a few fun twists for me. My close family and friend from NYC/NJ gave it all a chef’s kiss approval.

    working in New York pizzerias, moving through different shops, long shifts, high volume, no shortcuts. That’s where the standard was set. Five years ago, I moved to Los Angeles and bought my first pizza truck with one goal: bring real New York–style pizza to the West Coast. We focused strictly on catering, built for speed, consistency, and large crowds. Since then, we’ve grown into a high-volume catering operation, serving hundreds of guests per event and working with brands like Nike, Skechers, Netflix, Amazon, and Alo. We know how to execute — on time, under pressure, and at scale.

    NY Pizza House was incredible! They catered our event flawlessly, serving hot, authentic New York style pizza to a large crowd. The team was professional, efficient, and made everything easy for us. The food was a huge hit everyone loved it! Highly recommend for any corporate or private event.

    Border Grill Catering 
    Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
    • Serves Pasadena, CA

    In 1985, Chef/Owners Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken debuted the first Border Grill as a small, forty seat “taco stand” on Melrose out of a deep affection and appreciation of the Mexican kitchen. Effortlessly blending their classical culinary training with conscientiously-sourced ingredients, and regional recipes inspired by home cooks from Oaxaca to Mexico City, street vendors in Tijuana, and taco stands along the Yucatan and Baja coasts, the award-wining chefs continue to evolve their California-inflected Mexican-inspired cuisine.

    My wife and I are so glad we chose Border Grill to cater our wedding this past May. Taylor at Border Grill was great to work with and she made it very easy to communicate with and was always there for help throughout the process. Border Grill’s staff and bartenders were friendly and worked efficiently. Numerous guests stated how much they enjoyed the cocktails the bartenders prepared.

    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 don't even remember how many came up to me at the wedding to compliment the food, but it was a lot. They all started with “usually wedding food isn’t great, but ALL of the food has been so good.” ALSO, when we sat down for dinner Felicia brought us a plate of apps because we were too busy during cocktail hour to have any and she wanted to make sure we got some too. I loved that so much, just so thoughtful. So thank you Fusion catering for a great wedding experience.

Everything on our menu is made in house, in small batches. You have the flexibility of customizing your own menu -- making sure your guests will rave about the food!

    Exceptional Mediterranean Wedding Catering Experience! We hired The Falafel Factory for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the results! From the very first consultation, they made us feel confident that they understood our vision and dietary preferences. We love that they offer buffet style service but still bring their food truck so the food is constantly being replenished. Mediterranean-inspired menu was a huge hit with our guests, and we received so many compliments on the food & the display. Miriam truly goes out of her way with adding floral, and adding an elegant touch. We opted for a mix of appetizers, main courses, and desserts, and everything was absolutely delicious.

    • Serves Pasadena, CA

    Founded by individuals passionate for creating a deliciously, interactive party environment. We are Critic’s Choice, a family owned and operated full service catering and event production company based in Redondo Beach, CA. We began our culinary journey in 1984 and have remained true to our core values since the very start. We believe in honest, fair pricing and locally sourced, custom menus made from scratch, with love daily. We invite you to taste the magic and help us celebrate decades of client satisfaction, successful event production and outstanding cuisine.

    I absolutely loved working with Critics Choice Catering for our wedding! They were incredibly accommodating with our budget, which we truly appreciated. One of the biggest highlights was that the venue partners directly with Critics Choice, so having both the catering and tableware handled in-house removed so much stress from the planning process. Kaycie was wonderful to work with — enthusiastic, organized, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. From our very first tour to the food tasting and final details meeting, she listened carefully to our needs and was always quick to respond to every text or call. Everything turned out picture-perfect, and it was magical seeing the venue transformed for our big day. Kaycie also provided excellent vendor recommendations, which saved me so much time since we had a short planning timeline. We used her suggested photographer, florist, and bridal party makeup team, and they were all fantastic. I highly recommend adding the day-of coordination with Kaycie and her team. I didn’t have to answer a single question on the wedding day — everything ran seamlessly. The coordinators were amazing, especially when I had a bustle mishap with my dress and they fixed it in seconds! They truly took care of us all evening, greeting us with drinks and appetizers upon arrival and managing the timeline perfectly. The Critics Choice Catering chef curated a French-inspired wedding menu to reflect us as a Franco-American couple, and the ideas were absolutely amazing. We selected appetizers including a fruit and cheese board, goat cheese and onion puff pastry, and smoked salmon crème fraîche blinis. For dinner, we enjoyed a French winter pear, blue cheese, and endive salad, followed by boeuf bourguignon, magret de canard (duck breast), ratatouille, and gratin dauphinois potatoes. We even had a late-night snack of al pastor tacos with pineapple salsa, which was a huge hit! The food tasting experience was excellent, and overall the food on the wedding day was outstanding. Unfortunately, the duck was slightly overcooked and a few of my immediate family members were served later than others, minimal complaints. Aside from that, everything was excellent — and the bartender was absolutely outstanding! Overall, between the incredible catering, thoughtful menu, seamless coordination, and amazing service, Critics Choice Catering truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for an stress-free and delicious wedding experience.

We understand that planning a wedding can be a challenging task. We’ll help you navigate the catering options and promise to make it enjoyable process for you and your spouse. Catering should be totally stress free and an enjoyable part of your planning; we are here to help!

    Food was incredibly important to us, and we wanted our catering search to be stress-free, so we contacted Fundamental from our venue’s (SmogShoppe) recommended vendor list. From the moment we connected with Fundamental, Cindy made us feel confident we could have a fantastic meal within our budget. The tasting experience was particularly special—personal, delicious, and our favorite part of our planning process. We kept it simple with three passed appetizers for cocktail hour and a family-style dinner, but the food was anything but simple! Guests raved to us all night that it was the best wedding food they’d ever had—and we couldn’t agree more! Choosing a favorite dish is nearly impossible, but the fried chicken sliders, ahi tuna tacos, garlic basil sea bass, and wild mushroom pasta were definite standouts. For dessert, we initially planned to have pies from a local shop to add a personal touch, but with limited fridge space, we opted for Fundamental’s dessert bar. We’re so glad we did—everything was handled seamlessly, and the desserts were a huge hit. They also managed the bartending, including high-quality margaritas and Old Fashioneds that perfectly complemented the evening. All the food and drinks were exceptional, far beyond traditional wedding fare. I highly recommend Fundamental for all your catering needs!

    My husband and I have hired chef David a couple times before our wedding ceremony, July 2nd, 2022. We knew we wanted specialty foods and great food and we knew David and Molly would deliver, no questions asked! The food was a variety of appetizers and desserts, and the team knocked it our of the park! The celebration would not have been so wonderful without all the delicious foods they made for us, crispy Brussels sprout boats, mini quiche, homemade meatballs, mini sausage rolls, and my favorite, the Moroccan lamb burgers!!!!!! And not to mention the desserts, fairy cakes, profiteroles, yummy!!!! And so much more!!!! Their hard work, dedication, efficiency and a great eye for details... we will definitely hire them again and again, worth every penny!!!! We love you David and Molly and thank you for being apart of our special day!!!!!

Whether you’re imagining an elegant plated dinner, a lively family-style feast, or interactive food stations, we’ll bring it to life with fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and impeccable service.

    We hired The Rose Pantry for our wedding in Malibu this past June, and they were hands-down one of the best decisions we made! From the very first tasting, we knew they understood exactly what we wanted a classic American menu with subtle Asian and Brazilian influences to honor both of our backgrounds. Everyone is STILL talking about the pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) they served during cocktail hour! We also had an amazing dessert table! The presentation was gorgeous, the staff was warm and attentive, and everything ran so smoothly that I didn’t have to stress about a thing. If you want food that’s both comforting and unique, and a team that genuinely cares about your day, look no further. Thank you for making our wedding so special!
