Well, really it’s all about You. Five Star Catering was established in 1997, with the aspiration of offering our clients something more, by fulfilling your vision & then enhancing it! We wanted to offer inclusive packages which made planning an event easier and didn’t nickle and dime you by charging for every little bite and the fork that went with it! We're best known for, high-quality, made from scratch food, gracious service from a well trained, professional, experienced team, culinary artistry in delectable foods & presentation and local, fresh, sustainable ingredients.

Five Star Catering provided excellent catering services for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was consistently clear and informative, ensuring we were fully prepared for the big day. The catering team worked efficiently to serve all our guests delicious food and drinks. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality of food and service. The buffet line flowed smoothly to get everyone fed in a timely manner. The servers made sure drinks were poured and glasses stayed full during dinner and dancing. The food received so many compliments from our guests - from the cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres to the late night snack. Five Star Catering's excellent service and delicious food added so much to our special day. We would highly recommend them to any couple planning a wedding!

Affordable Chef Services LLC 

5.0

  • Starts at $800
  • Serves Carmel, CA

Whether you're searching for a caterer for a dinner party, birthday, anniversary, wedding reception, holiday, company picnic, or other event, personal Chef Mark Gallagher of Affordable Chef Services of Santa Cruz can custom cater a menu just for you. Our highly trained professional staff have the experience and passion to cater your special event.

Mark and his team were wonderful from the start. He was always prompt to respond, kind, and quickly provided any updates to the menu/guest count/linen color change/ etc. We felt so comfortable working with Chef Mark right from the start and that was even more confirmed when we were able to finally meet him on our special day. Mark was adaptable to our decision to move where we were hosting dinner with such a supportive response "It is your day, we are serving dinner where you would like to" with no complaint at all. He arrived a few minutes early to make sure he and his team knew the venue layout and quickly got to work! He was personable making many guests laugh and smile (and even gave them sneak peak tastes into dinner and dessert!). Chef Mark also came down while we were eating to make sure that all guests were satisfied and boy were their smiles on everyones faces! We started with an array of appetizers from olive tapenade to turkey meatballs (my fav!) to ceviche. Our dinner was delicious- chicken, salmon, rice, asparagus, salad, and for dessert, chocolate cake and cheesecake (we ate it all!). All of the food was so good that we were getting texts the next day about all the specifics to our menu from our guests. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Chef Mark if you want comfortable, reliable, and good vibes on your wedding day!

YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Carmel, 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.

Zad catered the sushi at our wedding in March. His trendy presentation and quality choices of fish made it a big hit for our guests. Everyone agreed he was the highlight of our first course. Great team and easy to talk to. Looking forward to more joyous events with Zad by our side.

Nomada was the best part of our wedding day. They were thoughtful, generous, and caring throughout. The quality of their work and value was truly unmatched - the food was absolutely delicious and our guests raved about it long after the wedding - so much so that people who did not even go to the wedding have asked me about it! They went above and beyond to care for us and our guests, even making a custom quesadilla for our hungry daughter during photos. Beyond that, they went out of their way to hand deliver it to her upstairs. The Nomada team made our special day truly memorable, and we couldn't recommend them more highly. I cannot wait to use them in the future!

We arranged to have the Tuck-ins team come to our wedding to set up a table with small fire stations and Tuck-ins so that our guests could roast their own s'mores as a fun, interactive dessert. All of my guests loved them and they were also able to take some home if they wanted to save one for later. Additionally, working with the Tuck-ins team was great; they're very responsive and were even able to customize the labels on the Tuck-ins to have our names and wedding date on them.
