    We hired this company to cater our wedding on September 6, 2025. Unfortunately, the staff did not arrive at the time promised in the contract. Their policy states they would arrive an hour before the event start time to set up, but they showed up much later. ( see screenshots below.) Because of this, my guests were not able to enter the reception area on time, which caused unnecessary stress and delayed the flow of our evening. While the food itself lacked flavor, the lack of reliability and the stress this caused on such an important day was very disappointing. I reached out afterward but was told refunds are not provided, despite the clear service issue. I would not recommend this company for weddings or other time-sensitive events where reliability and professionalism are critical.

    The communication in booking Southern LA Catering was great. However, on the day of the wedding, they arrived to the venue as my guests and I were entering, which was a bit disorganized. The food was very cold and lacked flavor, and I was also missing a dish that I had paid for. Overall, the value did not match the cost, and I was disappointed with the quality of their work on my wedding day.

    Hi Ashley! We were provided a timeline by your coordinator that said for us to arrive at that time. However, We’re sorry for your experience with us! Please share more information on the menu item you did not receive so we can make this right.

    Southern LA Catering made planning the food for my wedding SO easy. Daymin was incredibly helpful and the food was a hit. I have zero complaints and would definitely hire them again in the future!!
