Italian Brothers Restaurant was an excellent wedding caterer to work with. Their communication via text and email was very prompt and detailed, which made the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, they arrived 2 hours early to set up everything, from the bar and food service to the cake cutting and champagne toast. The execution of their work, from heating the food to serving and cleaning up, was flawless, allowing us as the couple to fully enjoy our special day without any need for attention on our part.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Sushi Private Catering a few times on the wedding couple's bridal shower and after-party, they are very professional and nice, a few things we really appreciate are they always be at the event early and they clean up properly. They will consider the venue whether it's indoor or outdoor, and give the couple proper suggestion about the menu, so the event won't smell oily or food, and sometimes they were not the only food vendors, they also gave the wedding couple proper suggestions about the food quantity, their chef also very experienced and nice, they will engage with the guests. During the planning period, we had a few time meetings with them, they always took very detailed notes and sent us for confirmation. So we know we don't need to worry about a thing with the catering part because their team is very reliable. We especially like how they decore the serving table, they brought a lot of decore and make the sushi station nice and elegant, how they display the sushi is also very delicate. Overall, we strongly recommend this team.

Years later, as a Summa Cum Laude graduate from prestigious Sankt Petersburg SWISSAM Academy of Culinary Arts, Masha continues to pursue her true passion - sharing her love for cooking through delicious, heart and soul warming food.

The food was truly phenomenal, featuring delicious options like steak, fish, blini with caviar, etc and our guests loved every bite! What really impressed us was the value we received—our invoice was surprisingly reasonable given the high-quality dishes. Other vendors quoted us more for simpler menu items, yet On The Roll delivered exceptional quality without breaking the bank. The drinks were delicious, and the crew was professional and attentive.

Five Course Provision 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,750
  • Serves Palo Alto, CA

Chef John Alvarez, raised in the Bay Area, discovered his passion for cooking early, earning the nickname “tortilla boy” at 12 while working in his family’s restaurant. Training under Michelin-starred chefs like Michael Cimarusti, Michael Tusk, and Curtis Stone, he honed his expertise in seafood, fine dining, and butchery. Inspired by Chef Rick Bayless, John mastered modern Mexican cuisine at Leña Brava, specializing in moles, salsas, and wood-fire cooking. Today, he crafts personalized menus that celebrate diverse flavors and unforgettable dining experiences.

We couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience throughout our wedding journey. From the very first consultation, to our tasting where my husband and our father's were left with a lasting impression (we were talking about it for weeks!), to the last bite of our delicious braised short rib, Five Course Provisions exceeded every expectation. Chef John made it easy to bring to life the vision that I had for our wedding day. He made sure to incorporate elements that were a priority into our day and executed an astounding menu that uniquely blended both the Iranian and European cultures that were important to us. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious our appetizers were during cocktail hour and how delicious the food was for dinner. John even came up with a Persian inspired mocktail for my husband's side of the family that consisted of Rose, Lemon & Pomegranate and it was a complete hit! Our top priority was making sure we booked a caterer that did not sacrifice quality over quantity. Food is a big part of our cultures and if I had to do our wedding reception over again, I would choose Five Course in a heartbeat. Beyond the food, the service was excellent. The team was professional, friendly, and so attentive throughout the entire event. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure everything went off without a hitch. Throughout my experience, John would find ways to surprise and delight - I am so incredibly grateful. Five Course Provisions played a huge role in making our wedding day unforgettable. If you’re looking for a caterer who combines exceptional food with top-notch service, look no further! Thank you so much for helping create the wedding of our dreams! (Marijana S)

YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Palo Alto, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m speechless from the service I received from this amazing sushi company. I loved the food, designs, and service!! I would recommend this sushi over any other ones. Amazing job for my wedding. Everyone loved the food and I’m looking forward to hiring this amazing sushi and event production company again!!

Whether you're searching for a caterer for a dinner party, birthday, anniversary, wedding reception, holiday, company picnic, or other event, personal Chef Mark Gallagher of Affordable Chef Services of Santa Cruz can custom cater a menu just for you. Our highly trained professional staff have the experience and passion to cater your special event.

Mark and his team were wonderful from the start. He was always prompt to respond, kind, and quickly provided any updates to the menu/guest count/linen color change/ etc. We felt so comfortable working with Chef Mark right from the start and that was even more confirmed when we were able to finally meet him on our special day. Mark was adaptable to our decision to move where we were hosting dinner with such a supportive response "It is your day, we are serving dinner where you would like to" with no complaint at all. He arrived a few minutes early to make sure he and his team knew the venue layout and quickly got to work! He was personable making many guests laugh and smile (and even gave them sneak peak tastes into dinner and dessert!). Chef Mark also came down while we were eating to make sure that all guests were satisfied and boy were their smiles on everyones faces! We started with an array of appetizers from olive tapenade to turkey meatballs (my fav!) to ceviche. Our dinner was delicious- chicken, salmon, rice, asparagus, salad, and for dessert, chocolate cake and cheesecake (we ate it all!). All of the food was so good that we were getting texts the next day about all the specifics to our menu from our guests. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Chef Mark if you want comfortable, reliable, and good vibes on your wedding day!

Montperi Catering + Events

  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Palo Alto, CA

Welcome. Montperi Catering and Events (MPCE) is a full-service company offering catering, event planning, event production and management, specialty VIP services, and unique hospitality experiences. MPCE specializes in corporate, wedding, and private functions, offering reception food and beverage service, buffet service, seated meals, and more. Our general menu is gourmet California cuisine with a Mediterranean influence (clean meat, seafood, spices, healthy and flavorful eating). We love to customize menus for our guests, and can create a variety of regional flavors and styles!

We starting planning our wedding in summer 2022 after getting engaged and after one venue fell through we did not set a date until May 2024. However, we were already in touch with and began getting quotes from Montperi in fall of 2022. They were great at communicating back and forth for the long planning process and we’re so grateful we chose this catering company. We sampled some delicious items at the Brazilian room open houses which is the venue we ultimately booked. We did a tasting with a couple of friends and fell in love with the miso salmon. Montperi catering worked with us to include a special welcome drink after our ceremony. We also hire someone from their team for our day of coordination. We appreciated that after our ceremony some wine, champagne, and snacks from the mezze platters were set up in our getting ready room so we could enjoy a quiet special moment alone after getting married! The set up, buffet flow, and clean up seemed seamless and the food was incredible. We heard from so many guests that they loved both the salmon and chicken mains as well as the seasonal veggie central sides. It was the perfect California cuisine. Thanks Montperi!
