Dream caterer! From start to finish, it was a delicious and unique dining experience that would not have been possible without Mel Walker's flexibility during the planning process. GourMel seamlessly integrated family-style dinner service at our request, plus custom cocktails, mocktails and non-traditional desserts. Mel shaped our dinner into something people raved about for the next year. With a deep bench of menu options, we appreciated how Mel talked us through how dishes could work together or be approached differently. Mel's team was amazing and checked on us throughout the wedding. We wanted for nothing! Her service staff is the best in town. Mel choreographed our entire day, facilitated rentals, entertainment and kept up right on schedule. She and her staff sent us off with a surprise picnic dinner with plates, forks, napkins and wine since they knew we didn't eat much due to socializing so much. GourMel goes above and beyond in every way.

YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Palos Verdes Peninsula, 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.

Great to order from really good value too. Been eating their sushi in different weddings never a problem

Border Grill Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA

In 1985, Chef/Owners Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken debuted the first Border Grill as a small, forty seat “taco stand” on Melrose out of a deep affection and appreciation of the Mexican kitchen. Effortlessly blending their classical culinary training with conscientiously-sourced ingredients, and regional recipes inspired by home cooks from Oaxaca to Mexico City, street vendors in Tijuana, and taco stands along the Yucatan and Baja coasts, the award-wining chefs continue to evolve their California-inflected Mexican-inspired cuisine.

Border Grill Catered & bartended for my wedding and I cannot say enough good things about them. From the start they were incredibly easy to work with, very transparent and fair with pricing, and handled everything flawlessly. Our contact, Taylor, was always available to talk and go over any questions we had (and often answered them before we had a chance to even ask them) and made us feel super re-assured about everything going into the wedding! The food was excellent and we received non-stop compliments from our guests with several people telling me it was the best wedding food that they'd ever had. The Oaxacan Old Fashioneds were such a hit that we ran out of Mezcal halfway through the night (which I was honestly glad about because I needed people to actually drink the rest of the alcohol I'd bought). Our wedding would not have been the same without them!

Buddha Boy Tacos

  • Starts at $1,850
  • Serves Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA

Welcome. Buddha Boy Tacos is a one-of-a-kind culinary establishment with a menu inspired by the idea of authentic and honest cooking. Starting in 2019, we developed a unique dining experience for all of our guests using fresh and sustainable ingredients—taking you on a culinary journey like no other. From classic recipes to new-age kitchen adventures, each dish reflects our passion for high-quality food presented in a simple yet pleasing manner.

Buddha Boy Tacos was our 2024 wedding caterer, and also our bartending and dessert service - yes, they are a triple threat!! And they completely blew us away! We heard about their catering service from a friend and tried their tacos at a local pop up. Immediately after meeting Alexis and Marcus—and trying the food—we knew we wanted them on our special day. They had the best energy and took a genuine interest in us and our vision for the wedding. From that point on, they worked closely with us to create a personalized menu that suited us and our guests. Alexis was so good at making the planning process as painless as possible by making recommendations, pitching ideas, and meeting us multiple times at the event site. We got to try our apps, main course, and even cocktail options prior to our event. Their presentation on our wedding day was just beautiful, the food was delicious, and our guests are still raving about the churros! The bartending service was equally impressive. The bartenders were fun, efficient, and crafted some of the best cocktails we've ever had at a wedding (we might be biased). It is clear that Buddha Boy Tacos takes great pride in their work and goes above and beyond to exceed expectations. We could not have asked for a better experience and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch catering for their event. Support this local South Bay small business and you will NOT regret it! THANK YOU, Alexis, Marcus, and the rest of the team, for making our wedding day unforgettable! :)

Denise was also so hands on during the planning process and helped us ensure we had all the rentals we needed and provided feedback and advice which was so helpful when you are a bride who has never done this before. The staff that Denise brought the day of was also spectacular, they were kind, quick and always willing to help a guest. Her business partner Will who ran the bar was also amazing, he helped us ensure we had everything we needed and made sure lines moved during the night. If you need a caterer in the area who can provide amazing food and is just awesome to work with, definitely hire Denise!

Pamela Aki especially was fantastic to work with. We chose the plated option for a guest count of just under 160 guests. We found the prices to be reasonable as compared to other vendors, and the quality of the menu, ingredients, and overall taste to be outstanding! Additionally, Summit allowed us to make several reasonable alterations to our chosen package, which we were really grateful for, due to several guest allergies, etc! Pam was incredibly communicative throughout our entire working relationship and we are so grateful. She made the process so easy! On our wedding day, everything went smoothly and the Summit staff was fantastic. We look back at the catering portion of our wedding with fond memories. Thank you Summit & Pam!
