Backed by the Schaffers and strengthened by Pure Joy Catering, we bring teams together with a shared commitment to creativity, quality, and genuine hospitality. Creating events that feel both personal and unforgettable.

Working with Catering Connections was a great experience. They were super receptive to all of our changes and requests and worked with us to get the exact menu that we wanted. They were really responsive and also great with helping us ensure that we had the correct rentals for the space as well! So many of our guests told us that they LOVED the food -- especially the cod and the churros, they were the biggest hits of the night!! We know how weddings can go, so we don't think it's a huge deal, but here are a few things that happened that resulted in a four star. Thankfully, none of the guests had any complications, but I'm not sure that the dietary restrictions were too carefully considered - the bride specifically called out a dietary restriction that she noticed when the first course came out, but obviously we aren't able to validate all of the meals. We were also told by guests that the meals took quite a long time to come out between the first and second course and lastly that the bartenders provided by the catering company didn't stir any of the drinks. All small, and overall a stellar experience but just a few things that we took into consideration for our review.

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!

YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Serves Santa Ynez, 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 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!

So. Much. Sushi. And it was PERFECT. We hired Mr. Fresh Sushi Catering for our wedding in Los Angeles this past April and honestly… they were one of the best parts of the entire day. We knew we didn’t want a traditional sit-down dinner—we wanted something fun, elegant, and very us. Enter: sushi. From the start, their team was super responsive, easy to work with, and totally got our vision. We went with a stationary appetizer setup so guests could mix, mingle, and grab bites throughout the evening. It worked out beautifully. The sushi? INSANE. So fresh, so flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the poke cups and the tempura zucchini—who knew that would be such a hit? They also had these little soba noodle cups and grilled yakitori skewers that disappeared fast. And even though it was technically “appetizers,” there was plenty of food. No one left hungry. It felt modern and upscale without being stuffy, and it added such a cool vibe to the reception. We loved how the food brought people together. People still tell us it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to—and honestly, we think the sushi had something to do with that. Highly recommend Mr. Fresh if you want to ditch the boring wedding food and serve something people will actually remember. — Jasmine & Leo

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.

My husband and I cant recommend Thomas enough! When we started wedding planning , on our top 5 priority was food! We didn’t want your standard chicken, salmon or steak you often get at weddings. We wanted something that fit our personality. When we found Thomas we went to a pop up to sample and he took over an hour while he was working to engage with us , let us taste and quite frankly blew us away! Thomas and his team were very professional , had a nice classy set up and most of all the quality of the food was amazing! Anything you ate at my wedding was tasty. I’m so glad we went with Thomas it was unique and everyone loved it! We received so many compliments from our guests regarding cocktail hour apps to the dinner!

Awarded Best of Zola
Nomada was the best part of our wedding day. They were thoughtful, generous, and caring throughout. The quality of their work and value was truly unmatched - the food was absolutely delicious and our guests raved about it long after the wedding - so much so that people who did not even go to the wedding have asked me about it! They went above and beyond to care for us and our guests, even making a custom quesadilla for our hungry daughter during photos. Beyond that, they went out of their way to hand deliver it to her upstairs. The Nomada team made our special day truly memorable, and we couldn't recommend them more highly. I cannot wait to use them in the future!

We are so thrilled that we hired 831 Catering for our wedding! Joseph, Kimberly, and their team were so great to work with and the food was incredible! We had a small, backyard family wedding of about 50 people, and everyone was so happy with their meals. We interviews a couple of local caters, and we were very impressed with Joseph and his recommdations for a menu. We had a grazing board, seasonal salads, steak (best steak ever!), fish, veggie pasta, seasonal vegetables, mashed pototoes, and small desert cakes. Joseph and Kimberly were such great people and so fantastic to work with. They made our whole day stress free. They arrived with their own set up and we can't recommend them enough!
