    Dina and Sal; the owners of the Cottage and their team are the best team to work with! From beginning (planning) to end (ceremony and reception) everything about our special day was perfect and I wish I could relive it every day! Dina helped us with the whole process. We chose to use them and their vendors for our entire day! In the beginning stages we were able to do a tour and even go to their food tasting nights. They have options from Italian to BBQ to Mexican. They can do it all, and all of their food was exceptional it was very hard to choose which way to go. We used their DJ and their cake vendor. Throughout our planning of our wedding, Dina was in contact with us the entire time. We were able to choose decor that they had to choose from for our big day. Dina was very easy to talk with and even ask questions about things we knew nothing about. The Cottage is such a perfect venue. We had 130 people and were able to have everyone seated outside and even had a nice dance floor for our special day. I cannot recommend The Cottage Wedding Venue enough!!!

We offer 2 unique onsite catering spaces with our Brewer's Reserve and SanTan Gardens and partner with multiple venues across the valley. We can also come to you!

    My husband and I used SanTan to cater our wedding across the street at SoHo63. We also brought the party over for a late night after party immediately following the wedding. Our wedding food was AMAZING, we received so many compliments and our family and friends are still talking about it. The staff they sent truly couldn't have done a better job. Billy was assigned to personally take care of my husband and I. Completely serious... he walked down the street and to the parking garage during our cocktail hour to make sure we got to enjoy our appetizers and had something to drink while taking photos. He was so very kind and professional yet so much fun. He made us feel like family and so special! Our after party had amazing food and was such a chill and easy going vibe to end the night with all our favorite people. We cannot recommend SanTan enough!

The chef and her staff came in, set up, and made some of the most memorable and delicious food we have ever had.

    Culinary Concepts catered an amazing brunch the day after our wedding in my mother-in-law’s home. They arrived on time and set up a beverage bar and beautiful buffet and were ready when our guests began to arrive. All of the food was delicious, but the Cinnamon French Toast Bread Pudding was the talk of the party. I asked for the recipe and owner/chef Wendy was happy to share it. I would recommend their services to anyone, for any type of party!

    "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!
