Chris' Ono Grinds Island Grill - North Park 

5.0

  • Starts at $1
  • Serves Escondido, CA

Our business started back in '09 at local Farmer's Markets, and we have been grateful to expand ever since. Our team and family have built up a cozy brick and mortar in North Park, and a fast-paced location inside Liberty Public Market in Point Loma. San Diego is the best city in the world and we love the rapport we have built within the community. We look forward to continued growth as we spread our Aloha spirit to more venues and customers.

Chris' Ono Grinds Island Grill was our number one choice from our available options for our wedding reception @ The Lane, San Diego. We love hawaiian food, and the menu options they gave us were perfect for our 250 guests! Even when we decided to add on a few more items about a month or so before the wedding, they were very communicative and helpful in making that work for us. The food and service itself were fantastic. We had a number of guests come up to us saying how much they enjoyed the food. And of course, they were kind enough to pack my wife and I some extra food at the end of night. We can't thank them enough, and would definitely recommend them to other wedding couples!

Buckboard Catering and Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Escondido, CA

Established in 1986. Buckboard Catering and Events was established in May of 1986 and is one of the oldest catering companies in San Diego. The business has expanded to include a full range of farm-to-fork locally sourced food options to extensive culinary catering for any occasion or experience. A complete inventory of rental items for any size event is also available.

We could not have been happier with the service we received from Buckboard as the catering provider for our wedding. Right from the initial meeting Ashley, (Buckboard’s sales manager) gave us a personalized introduction and very friendly tasting. It was clear from this initial interaction that she cared more about our experience and less about just becoming one of their customers. The food was/is absolutely delicious. Every single item was cooked perfectly, and it was clear from the initial tasting that their chefs and cooks take genuine pride in cooking high quality meals that do not come off as “mass produced” like a number of other caterers in the area. We have lost count of the number of guests who told us during and after the meal that it was by far the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, and this is reflective of the company as a whole. Ashley and JP (the Chief Operating Officer) were both present during the planning process, and worked with us directly to determine a menu that would be both wonderful for the guests as well as within our budget. When dietary restrictions were presented, Ashley and her team made the accommodations easy and care free, and provided options that were also delicious. She and her staff were so friendly and professional on the day-of that a number of guests went out of their way to comment on the crew. We cannot rave enough about the services we received from Buckboard Catering. To make matters better they also operate a full-time restaurant in El Cajon, which we plan on frequenting regularly when visiting San Diego. For prospective couples planning a wedding, choosing Buckboard as your caterer will not only put your mind at ease knowing the quality of service you will be receiving, but you and your guests will be absolutely thrilled with the meal you get to enjoy.

I’ve been to Italy many times and the pizza there is one of our favorites - I absolutely love it - so much so that we could eat it every day. My husband is half Italian so when we heard about Criscito Pizza and their wood fire oven with 10 different styles of authentic italian pizza, we were sold. We didn’t expect it to be that good, but Criscito’s exceeded our expectations and the food was all that the guests could talk about. Best pizza ever and I highly recommend Criscito’s Pizza for any event or just to enjoy some truly phenomenal pizza.

They were helpful and provided amazing food (the best Peruvian food in California and possible the entire US in my opinion). Their food has a homemade taste to it but also has an elevated feel to it. They even cooked all the food onsite in their food truck on our wedding day which made the food so fresh. They also handled setup, serving and take down. We cannot thank them enough for the incredible food and experience they created for us.

Absolutely blown away by the empanadas from Fuegos! As an Argentinean, I know my empanadas inside and out, and these are the real deal. The dough is perfectly flaky, with just the right amount of crisp on the outside, and soft, tender goodness on the inside. And the fillings? Out of this world! Whether it's the classic beef, loaded with juicy, seasoned goodness, or their creative vegan empanadas, every bite is like a little taste of home. I recently used their catering services for a work event, and they went above and beyond to customize the empanadas to perfectly match my taste and that of my guests. The beautiful packaging added an extra touch of elegance, leaving everyone impressed! Not only were they on time with the delivery, but they were also incredibly organized, ensuring everything went smoothly. Their attention to detail truly made the event even more special! Coming from someone who grew up eating empanadas, I can confidently say these empanadas are legit.

  • Starts at $2,500

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.

Working with Honey and Hive was so easy, from start to finish. Nancy is so kind and truly does all she can to make her clients happy! We hired Honey & Hive Boards to provide appetizers for our wedding this April; we ended up doing little charcuterie cups styled in glass jars that were beautiful as well as a large grazing board. Our guests loved the jars, it kept guests moving around during cocktail hour rather than hovering over one table or by the bar.
