I can’t recommend Far Out Catering & Events highly enough! Carla and her wonderful team helped me organize a beautiful baby shower for my daughter-in-law. They not only provided a fantastic luncheon buffet, but they also created a stunning layout, handled the vendors, and their flower team made adorable centerpieces for the tables. I rented the mimosa cart from them, and it was a highlight of my event! If you are looking for a company that will take care of everything so you can enjoy the event, contact them!

Kitchenina 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

The best three words to describe our work and us are quality, consistency and passion. Our company name is a hybrid of the words "Kitchen" in English and "Kouzina" in Greek. We are Greek, so hospitality and food is in our blood! I (Aliki) have been in the Food and Beverage Industry since I was 14 years old. I started as a waitress and went all the way up to a Food and Beverage Manager for big Hotel chains before starting my own company. We live to make people happy and we go above and beyond for our couples. The best part is that we are family-owned and our home-cooked meals are all made with love.

I am a wedding photographer and have been doing this for over 13 years and 300 + weddings. I have seen all kinds of dinners at weddings and one of the perks is that I get to eat what the guests eat generally. I usually will enjoy maybe on of the mains or sides and the rest of the dinner is so so, but what set Kitchenina apart from the other wedding dinners I've had is that every single main and side was delicious. I remember that I even went up to them after the dinner and told them how many weddings I've worked and that their dinner was a top 10 wedding dinner for me from my whole career. I definitely want to work with them again so I get to enjoy their food!

From the start, communication with Late to the Lake was a breeze.
