Kullman Catering 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Serves San Simeon, CA

Kullman Catering is a full-service catering company rooted in Contemporary American cuisine with global inspiration woven into every menu. From handcrafted small bites to elegant seafood and perfectly grilled Santa Maria Style Tri-tip, every dish is chef-crafted with intention and served with style. We believe great food should feel both refined and approachable — familiar enough to comfort, bold enough to impress.

Kullman Catering was a pleasure to work with for our wedding at the Kaleidoscope Inn and Gardens in Nipomo. Their communication was clear, concise, and incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was simply delicious - they provided classic, crowd-pleasing dishes like tri-tip, mashed potatoes with garlic confit, and grilled vegetables. The goat cheese crostini our guests couldn't stop raving about! They were flexible in making changes to our order and went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. We highly recommend Kullman Catering to any couple looking for a reliable, high-quality caterer.

Chef Anna Masteller 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves San Simeon, CA

Chef Anna, a Carmel-by-the-Sea native, began her career as a celebrity private chef while attending culinary school in San Francisco. Her classical training was complemented by deep nutritional education at The Esalen Institute and the Hippocrates Health Institute. As a sought-after wellness retreat chef and wedding chef, Chef Anna has traveled extensively across the United States and internationally. Her home base is Figure Eight Island, NC. A true hospitality professional, Chef Anna received the Michelin Key award in 2024 and 2025.

We called Chef Anna “the Zen Chef” because she radiated calm and warmth every time she cooked or dropped off meals. 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. As a group of well-traveled foodies, that says a lot. Thank you, Chef Anna, for becoming one of our favorite core memories. We’ve already booked her for our anniversary trip to Wrightsville Beach next year.

"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!

My husband and I cannot recommend AnyThyme Catering highly enough.

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.

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.

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.
