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!

Hazy Barbecue 

5.0

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

Hazy Barbecue is a catering company based in Danville, California. They specialize in Texas-style barbecue and American fare with dishes featuring brisket, ribs and salmon to salads. With a central location in the Bay Area, they serve events around San Francisco, from Napa to San Jose. Hazy Barbecue catering team welcomes couples to taste dishes to create a custom menu. On the day of the wedding, your dishes can be picked up, delivered, or served with the full catering package. This service is ideal for large events, and wait staff will be on-site throughout the meal to set up, serve, and clean up. Individually boxed meals available!

Hazy Barbecue was amazing at our daughter's wedding – the food was delicious, incredibly affordable and generously portioned. My daughter and now son-in-law love BBQ, however, there are not a lot of great options in the SF Bay Area. I personally visited and tasted food from 13 established restaurants and caterers and luckly, Hazy opened up in Danville, our town, just in time. The theme of the wedding was not country or western, we just wanted food that we love and something we knew would satisfy our guests--and Hazy came through. Tami and her team were very easy to work with, before and during the event, always very responsive and gave close attention to small details. As with any caterer, be sure to outline all of your needs, ask questions about everything from staffing, set-up and break-down so that you have your expectations met, like we did. We were their first off-premise catered event, fully staffed, so our 4-star rating on service and clarity of communication is only because they obviously had room for growth since this was their first event after launching the catering side of their business. Our friends and family truly enjoyed the food and raved about the brisket, pulled pork and the side dishes. Highly recommend you consider Hazy for your special event. I'll visit their restaurant every time I am back in town! The food was 5-star!

Midsummer Kitchen 

5.0

  • Starts at $7,900
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

Catering the SF Bay Area since 2011 - we are an extension of your hospitality and believe in meaningful events with delicious food and reliable service. Our team is composed of industry professionals who are committed to the success of your event.

I hired MidSummer Kitchen to cater my wedding and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was phenomenal, everyone kept coming over to me during the reception to tell me how much they loved the food. Communication was so easy - quick responses, easy to understand, and always professional. The Midsummer catering crew during my wedding were also very professional and kind. Leading up to the wedding, I worked a lot with Cleodia. She was very kind, professional, and understanding whenever I had question or had to make changes to the plan. 2 months before my wedding, I had a problem with my venue and Cleodia was a great help. She helped me remain calm during my panic, helped me find possible new venues, and worked with me to create a quick solution to a major problem. I honestly don't think I would have found a new venue without Cleodia's help and I am very grateful. I would 100% recommend MidSummer Kitchen for all your catering needs. If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would.
