  • Serves Lake Forest, CA
  • Offer

Above All Catering & Events has been delighting its customers for more than 25 years with mouthwatering menus, versatile venues, and exceptional event coordination serving all of Southern California, including Orange County, Los Angeles and Riverside Counties.

We had above all cater our sons wedding. I wish I could give them another 10 stars. First of all the staff made sure the Bride, Groom and wedding party had food and drinks while they were taking their photos after the ceremony. Something that didn't even occur to me. The staff was friendly and polite and very attentive to all the guests needs. The passed appetizers were amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. Not your typical wedding food. We chose to have a desert and coffee bar and that was a huge hit. Thank you Above All for an amazing stress free experience. You guys are the best.

We’ve used food first events & catering three times now. The level of detail, service, and food is outstanding from begging to the end. These guys are pros. We even trusted them with our wedding. I wouldn’t do it any other way. They go above and beyond with helping with all the details of events to ensure the customer has an excellent time. Innovative ways of accommodating us and coming up with great ideas where all of our guests were amazed. The food is top notch quality. They accommodated diverse requests. For example, surf and turf, to vegan, and our last event, which was Thai. All were outstanding, think Michelin star quality. They are very kind and take all of our needs in to consideration. They have great ideas on how to make an incredible event thats creates life long memories. These guys are the best! They even did my sisters wedding.

Off the Vine Dining Catering Company

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Lake Forest, CA

Brian and Alexa met in 2016 when he was pursuing his dream operating a café in North Park. This venture was called Grinds & Vine Coffee Bar, where the community was the most important factor of his establishment. One day Alexa came in as a guest to study and have some coffee. She was quickly mesmerized by the PB&J sandwich and their delicious cold brew options. They shared some great conversations about food and life then quickly became friends, which then blossomed into something more. Who would have ever thought a PB&J, a cold brew and a conversation would turn into love and marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
First off, the food is THE best. Our guest have been raving about the appetizers and food all week post wedding. Brian is the best chef and so helpful when choosing a menu. He’s on top of it and Alexa is just as awesome! The staff were always checking in on us making sure we were fed and if we needed anything. My aunt has a severe allergy and Brian was able to accommodate a special plate for her and she said it was the first time she’s ever had so many options! We can’t thank Brian and team enough for being the best vendor! They were such a hit at our wedding!
