Off the Vine Dining Catering Company

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Cardiff, CA

Brian and Alexa met in 2016 when he was pursuing his dream operating a café in North Park. This venture was called Grinds & Vine Coffee Bar, where the community was the most important factor of his establishment. One day Alexa came in as a guest to study and have some coffee. She was quickly mesmerized by the PB&J sandwich and their delicious cold brew options. They shared some great conversations about food and life then quickly became friends, which then blossomed into something more. Who would have ever thought a PB&J, a cold brew and a conversation would turn into love and marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
Off the Vine Dining was recommended to me by a friend and it was the best rec I have ever received. OVD catered our wedding and served us possibly the best chicken I’ve ever had in my life, along with every other food item that night. Even the dessert was delicious, every ingredient was real and homemade, even the whip cream. Every piece of food served to us was made by hand and it tasted as such. I never expect to eat a lot when I attend a catered event, let alone an event I throw because I have a sensitive stomach. But I was able to eat everything and go back for seconds. If you’re looking for kind, honest and talented people to cater any event you’re having, don’t look anywhere else but Off the Vine Dining! Take a chance in this husband and wife team and give them a call and let the rest be history!

Buckboard Catering and Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Cardiff, CA

Established in 1986. Buckboard Catering and Events was established in May of 1986 and is one of the oldest catering companies in San Diego. The business has expanded to include a full range of farm-to-fork locally sourced food options to extensive culinary catering for any occasion or experience. A complete inventory of rental items for any size event is also available.

We could not have been happier with the service we received from Buckboard as the catering provider for our wedding. Right from the initial meeting Ashley, (Buckboard’s sales manager) gave us a personalized introduction and very friendly tasting. It was clear from this initial interaction that she cared more about our experience and less about just becoming one of their customers. The food was/is absolutely delicious. Every single item was cooked perfectly, and it was clear from the initial tasting that their chefs and cooks take genuine pride in cooking high quality meals that do not come off as “mass produced” like a number of other caterers in the area. We have lost count of the number of guests who told us during and after the meal that it was by far the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding, and this is reflective of the company as a whole. Ashley and JP (the Chief Operating Officer) were both present during the planning process, and worked with us directly to determine a menu that would be both wonderful for the guests as well as within our budget. When dietary restrictions were presented, Ashley and her team made the accommodations easy and care free, and provided options that were also delicious. She and her staff were so friendly and professional on the day-of that a number of guests went out of their way to comment on the crew. We cannot rave enough about the services we received from Buckboard Catering. To make matters better they also operate a full-time restaurant in El Cajon, which we plan on frequenting regularly when visiting San Diego. For prospective couples planning a wedding, choosing Buckboard as your caterer will not only put your mind at ease knowing the quality of service you will be receiving, but you and your guests will be absolutely thrilled with the meal you get to enjoy.

Hi, I'm Emma! Growing up in a household of amazing Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine cooks, I fell in love with the flavors and traditions. But dining out often left me disappointed by the lack of authenticity and quality. As a pastry chef, my passion for good food only grew stronger. I started Flame & Flavor to share my vision, using fresh ingredients, no seed oils and premium meats to craft delicious dishes that bring people together. Our food is made with love, and it shows.

We loved having Flame & Flavor cater our event! The Mediterranean food was delicious and a big hit with our guests. They were easy to work with and did a great job partnering with our florist. We're really happy with the service and the food.

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.

Mr Fresh Sushi Catering, top-rated sushi catering service in Southern California, offers you an unforgettable sushi experience with our experienced private sushi chefs and high-quality food. With live sushi stations, omakase style and custom menus available, Mr Fresh Catering will make your event shine.

So. Much. Sushi. And it was PERFECT. We hired Mr. Fresh Sushi Catering for our wedding in Los Angeles this past April and honestly… they were one of the best parts of the entire day. We knew we didn’t want a traditional sit-down dinner—we wanted something fun, elegant, and very us. Enter: sushi. From the start, their team was super responsive, easy to work with, and totally got our vision. We went with a stationary appetizer setup so guests could mix, mingle, and grab bites throughout the evening. It worked out beautifully. The sushi? INSANE. So fresh, so flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the poke cups and the tempura zucchini—who knew that would be such a hit? They also had these little soba noodle cups and grilled yakitori skewers that disappeared fast. And even though it was technically “appetizers,” there was plenty of food. No one left hungry. It felt modern and upscale without being stuffy, and it added such a cool vibe to the reception. We loved how the food brought people together. People still tell us it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to—and honestly, we think the sushi had something to do with that. Highly recommend Mr. Fresh if you want to ditch the boring wedding food and serve something people will actually remember. — Jasmine & Leo
