Cutting Edge Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Calimesa, CA

Cutting Edge Catering exists to provide couples and clients quality food and beverage options, coupled with reasonable pricing. Here at Cutting Edge Catering we understand that one size does not fit all when it comes to catering, so we've made it all about you. You choose what you like and what works best for your vision, budget and dream, then we make it happen.

We used Cutting Edge Catering for our wedding in October 2024 and had an excellent experience! Jessica, Angel, and Jeremy were extraordinarily helpful in every regard, from sending multiple quote options; making adjustments as we tweaked our menu; and generally being responsive to any questions we had. Our guests really enjoyed the food-- especially the spinach artichoke dip (which we knew would be a hit, having tried it at our tasting months prior)! I would absolutely use Cutting Edge Catering again!

I’m Chef Nisha, owner of Loaded by Nisha, with 9 years of experience in diverse cuisines. I've worked with high-profile clients and was voted a top private chef in AZ and NV. Let’s schedule a meeting to discuss!

Loaded By Nisha was absolutely amazing and undescribable. The communication from Chef Nisha and her team was communicative, descriptive and informative from start to finish. On our special day, they made themselves readily available and took care of all of our food needs with care and precision. The chef and her staff came in, set up, and made some of the most memorable and delicious food we have ever had. Nisha's energy is something you would love to have at a wedding after everything is done - you can truly taste the love in the food. We were blown away by the quality of their work and the value they provided. We cannot recommend Loaded By Nisha enough for your wedding or event.
