Fusion Events 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Starts at $30
  • Serves Santa Ynez, CA

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. I highly recommend them!”

“Selecting a caterer for our wedding was a very daunting task. So many caterers to choose from, all at different price levels and various offerings. After interviewing a handful of companies, we decided to go with the team at Krafted Culture. From the beginning Chef Cooper was attentive to our vision, and our budget. He helped guide us along the path from beginning to our wedding day. Chef Cooper was always punctual, reliable, respectful and honest. He truly had our best interests at heart. At our tasting, we knew we had made the right choice. The food was phenomenal. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the entire layout of our wedding changed 4 days prior to the big day. Chef Cooper was very instrumental in collaborating with our wedding coordinator and made sure that the changes would not affect his service. On the day of Chef and his team were on time, ready to work and pleasant with our guests. Our guests did not have to wait long for their meal and they all loved the food, especially the Caribbean Chicken. If we had to do it all over again we would not hesitate to hire Krafted Culture. If you are looking for a professional caterer that provides quality food and excellent day of service at a very fair price, look no further than Chef Cooper and his team at Krafted Culture.

Chef Anna Masteller 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Santa Ynez, 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.”
