YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 

5.0

  • Serves Shandon, 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.

"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!

Nomada | Gourmet Taco Catering

Nomada is boutique taco catering service based in Irvine specializing in traditional yet modern Mexican cuisine. We are passionate about quality ingredients, exquisite presentation and unparalleled service.

Awarded Best of Zola
My cousin, giving advice to me for my wedding, said, "No one remembers the food at weddings, its just chicken or fish, don't sweat it", and I took that as a challenge. With a sizeable contingent of my family having celiac disease, and being gluten and dairy intolerant myself, I wanted to find a meal that was majority restriction-diet friendly without non-restricted guests noticing. NOMADA's menu was perfect for our crowd - the passed apps, mobile kitchen taco bar, and all the fixings, sides, and beverages were all gluten and dairy free, and no one with celiac got sick. In addition, our venue did not have a kitchen, so their mobile outdoor kitchen set-up meant we had fresh, hot tortillas and tacos, instead of food cooked offside and reheated right before service. It was a smash hit - Guests went back for seconds and thirds. Salsas ranged from mild to medium spiciness, but were all so flavorful they didn't need to be spicier, and the yellow salsa especially was the talk of the night. The service, presentation, taste, and everything was perfect; at least two friends who attended the wedding are planning to use them for future events they were so impressed. The appetizer meatballs - a can't miss.

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! There was plenty of food and everyone’s food came out hot, no long lines! If you are thinking of catering fire and wood for your event don’t think twice! You will not regret it!

Such a unique touch! We really wanted a Spanish jamón at our wedding but had the hardest time finding someone actually trained to cut it until we found Senín from Casa Strada. Since he himself is Spanish we knew he’d understand exactly what we wanted. He had different budget options for the ham itself, took care of everything, and cut some beautiful plates of ham.

It’s cooked with parboiled rice in a mixture of carefully selected peppers to give you that authentic taste of Nigerian Jollof. Looking forward to bringing our flavors to your next event!

Jolas Kitchen catered at our wedding on December 27th. I cannot say enough good things about Chef Jola, she was so communicative, and made excellent recommendations and suggestions, which was so helpful to me as a first time bride who had never planned such a large event before. We were absolutely blown away by the presentation, and the care and attentiveness of chef Jola and her team. I have never worked with such thoughtful and kind caterers, they really thought of everything and made the night such a wonderful and stress free experience for us. The food was absolutely amazing and our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved everything, from the Beef Suya (my personal favorite) to the Cole Slaw, to the Jollof and Meat Pies, and the Puff Puff. A lot of brides don’t eat much on their wedding day, but I cleaned my whole plate and even took some home with me. Highly recommend!

The owner of Board & Blooms, Chelsea Jacobson is beyond talented, extremely knowledgeable, and so easy to work with. My husband and I were trying to throw together a diy backyard wedding and she was so kind & helpful throughout the process, I’m not sure we could have pulled it off without her. All I had to do was show her some Pinterest inspo pics and she turned my wedding dreams into reality. She did all the florals for the tables, wedding arch, bouquets & boutonnieres. She also ended up coordinating for us, because she has a background in wedding coordinating and we were a bit lost on the timing of everything… it was so helpful having her expertise to draw on! Lastly, she created the most stunning grazing table for our guests… everything was delicious and we got so many compliments. She is so incredibly talented and I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you again for all the love you poured into our wedding Chelsea!
