The most delicious food! We absolutely loved working with Park Avenue. Our tasting was so personalized and special. The food was absolutely amazing. We had the salmon, tenderloin, and mushroom ravioli served family style followed by late night pizzas. The presentation was impeccable as was the service. I felt like we were at a restaurant in Italy, which was exactly what we had wanted! The bread and olive were exquisite. Not to mention the appetizers and the dessert table!

Preferred Sonoma Caterers truly made our wedding an elevated experience for our guests. From the refreshments during the ceremony, the delicious meals at dinner, through dessert and our take home box, the staff went above and beyond at every step. The servers and bar staff were wonderful. Our tasting experience was so intimate and enjoyable. We knew right away that we had made the right choice for our caterer. AnnieLaurie, Yesenia, and the rest of the staff were all so helpful and truly passionate about making delicious food paired with outstanding service. It really felt like working with close friends and family! The food was so delicious! All of our guests raved about their selections (Mary's chicken, pork sous vide, or veggie Napoleon).

El Coqui Puerto Rican Cuisine 

5.0

  • Serves San Rafael, CA

El Coqui has been bringing the flavors of Puerto Rico to Sonoma County Since 2009. Jackie was born in the Bronx and raised in Queens NY by her Grandmother who would take her back to Puerto Rico every summer. El Coqui has been recognized by the Press Democrat and the North Bay Bohemian as "Best Latin Restaurant" in Sonoma County year after year. We were featured on Food Network, Check Please Bay Area and won the Gold Medal at the Sonoma County Harvest Fair.

El Coqui catered our wedding and Jackie and Tina were beyond professional and helpful through every step of the way, from the tasting up to the big day. I sincerely appreciated how much they went above and beyond the call of duty with their kindness. The food was amazing, we received lots of "best food at a wedding ever" compliments, and as a bonus, we had a lot of wonderful leftovers for the rest of the week. I can't recommend the restaurant and the food enough - be sure to consider them for your next wedding if you really want to impress your family, friends and guests.

Authentic Argentinian flavors will be bringing a different experience to your event and your guest! Fuegos is passion and our modern set up will bring a nice touch to your party! We can offer a variety of Argentinian delights to improve the experience of your event

Absolutely blown away by the empanadas from Fuegos! As an Argentinean, I know my empanadas inside and out, and these are the real deal. The dough is perfectly flaky, with just the right amount of crisp on the outside, and soft, tender goodness on the inside. And the fillings? Out of this world! Whether it's the classic beef, loaded with juicy, seasoned goodness, or their creative vegan empanadas, every bite is like a little taste of home. I recently used their catering services for a work event, and they went above and beyond to customize the empanadas to perfectly match my taste and that of my guests. The beautiful packaging added an extra touch of elegance, leaving everyone impressed! Not only were they on time with the delivery, but they were also incredibly organized, ensuring everything went smoothly. Their attention to detail truly made the event even more special! Coming from someone who grew up eating empanadas, I can confidently say these empanadas are legit. If you’re looking for a true Argentinean experience, whether for yourself or for an event, you’ve gotta check them out. You won’t be disappointed!

YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves San Rafael, 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.

Montperi Catering + Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves San Rafael, 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!

I cannot recommend Montperi Catering enough; they did an absolutely phenomenal job for my wedding this past May. My prior venue had closed (without bothering to tell me), and with less than two months before the big day, I was scrambling to figure out how to plan a backyard wedding during COVID. I had no idea where to start, but then my friend recommended Montperi, assuring me that Chef Lamont's cooking was fantastic. I reached out that day, and was able to connect with Amanda. Amanda was wonderful to work with. She was able to accommodate our work schedules to do a preliminary phone call, and she immediately made us feel so comfortable about working with Montperi to plan a safe wedding. During our socially-distanced walkthrough, she came up with creative solutions for organizing the wedding, figuring out where to place tables, how to staff the event, and how many rentals we would need. Between the walkthrough and the wedding day, she was super communicative, getting back to us quickly whenever we had questions or changes that needed to be made. A few days before the wedding, we had another telephone call to go over the day-of timeline, and she was able to offer a lot of advice and information about how things would go. She would ask us what we planned and immediately offered to help with those things, taking a huge burden off our shoulders. On the day of, everything went perfectly. Amanda and the rest of the Montperi team kept things flowing so smoothly that I honestly felt like I was neglecting them because I didn't have to tell them anything. I was able to spend all of my time talking to family and friends, and never had to worry about timing or making sure things happened as needed because Montperi took care of everything. Everything was set up on schedule, the backyard was flipped from being a ceremony space to a dining space, and my friend was absolutely right - the food was delicious. We didn't do a tasting, so my first taste of the food was of the honey miso glazed salmon. I actually prefer raw salmon to cooked salmon because cooked salmon always felt dry to me. But as soon as I took my first bite of this salmon, I just stared at my husband and went "wow" at how tasty and tender it was. I also stole some tri tip from my sister, and it was so perfectly spiced and cooked. I often hear about people not remembering or being able to enjoy their wedding, but that was never a risk for me. Montperi took care of so much that day, all the way to cleaning up and moving the rentals out of the way. Everything that needed to be done got done without me needing to check on things (and that is hard for me because I can be a compulsive control freak), and I really was just able to enjoy myself. At this point, I am honestly glad that my prior venue shut down because this wedding was everything we could have wanted; we were so happy throughout. I cannot think of any way it could have been better, and it would not have happened without Montperi. My only regret was that I didn't take the time to try all of the appetizers; now I have to listen to my family and friends tell me how delicious they were, without knowing for myself! Needless to say, if I ever have to plan another big event, I know exactly who I will be contacting first.

Midsummer Kitchen

  • Serves San Rafael, 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.

Joint Venture 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,750
  • Serves San Rafael, CA for additional fees

Danny has spent the past dozen years working in kitchens around New York City and abroad. After attending the French Culinary Institute, Danny worked at Momofuku Ko, Isa, Estela, and Cabane à Sucre Au Pied de Cochon in Montreal. In 2015, Danny founded Joint Venture as a way to explore how food can bring people together beyond the confines of a restaurant’s four walls. JV is a departure from and reaction to the kitchens of his past. It's about collaborating with friends, reconnecting with nature, and working directly with farmers and producers. JV creates menus that are of the season and expressive of their surroundings. JV is ever-evolving.

Joint Venture cooked some of the best food of our lives for our wedding of 135 people last year in the Catskills. Danny somehow managed to create a menu that was comforting and indulgent, yet nourishing. I'm a musician who's played hundreds of weddings and I've never experienced a caterer close to Joint Venture's level. He also focuses on seasonal ingredients and sustainable farming practices-- even growing some of the food for the meal himself. We couldn't recommend Joint Venture more to anyone looking for a transcendent catering experience that's also down-to-earth (literally).

We ordered Tuck Ins to put in our wedding guest gift bags at the hotel. Tuck Ins was easy to work with, delivered in a timely manner, and all of our guests loved having something delicious and made by a local Philly company. If we were to get married again, I think we would include Tuck Ins at the dessert table and let the guests roast them at the reception. Would highly recommend!
