Awarded Best of Zola
Chef Shieya and the Kookery was the only caterer I found (and I did a big search and got a lot of proposals) that was super open to changes and accommodations, worked with my budget, was super responsive and on it, and delivered amazing appetizers and meal for our wedding with a very professional and experienced staff. We wanted the apps and meals to be high end but not at high end prices and she made it happen! Also was super patient with all my changes. She really worked with us and our budget instead of up charging. And the night and food was flawless

We had a blast working with Mel! She communicated perfectly and responded to our millions of questions within a few minutes. We expressed our concerns with our group having multiple food allergies and Mel was able to accommodate them all. We had espresso balsamic beef tenderloin, miso caramel scallops, garlic green beans, sesame noodles to die for - absolutely wow, vegan bbq seitan brisket, sautéed veggies, vegan and traditional charcuterie boards, strawberry goat cheese crostini, custom breads and cranberry brie in phyllo cups. All the food was amazing! The staff that was tending to us for the night were great. Our two bartenders were amazing. Loads of energy, great stories and really were life of the party. Shout out to everyone at GourMel that was able to make this wedding night possible.

Innovative ways of accommodating us and coming up with great ideas where all of our guests were amazed. The food is top notch quality. They accommodated diverse requests.

I can't recommend Denise and her team more. Denise catered my wedding in September and our guests couldn't stop talking about the food. The short ribs and salmon were not only delicious but cooked perfectly even when made for 150 people! Denise was also so hands on during the planning process and helped us ensure we had all the rentals we needed and provided feedback and advice which was so helpful when you are a bride who has never done this before. The staff that Denise brought the day of was also spectacular, they were kind, quick and always willing to help a guest. Her business partner Will who ran the bar was also amazing, he helped us ensure we had everything we needed and made sure lines moved during the night. If you need a caterer in the area who can provide amazing food and is just awesome to work with, definitely hire Denise!

We had above all cater our sons wedding. I wish I could give them another 10 stars. First of all the staff made sure the Bride, Groom and wedding party had food and drinks while they were taking their photos after the ceremony. Something that didn't even occur to me. The staff was friendly and polite and very attentive to all the guests needs. The passed appetizers were amazing. The food was absolutely delicious. Not your typical wedding food. We chose to have a desert and coffee bar and that was a huge hit. Thank you Above All for an amazing stress free experience. You guys are the best.

We got married in Long Beach, CA on 10/12/24 and all of our guests said Summit's food was THE BEST they had ever been served at wedding! I cannot recommend Summit Event Catering more! Pamela Aki especially was fantastic to work with. We chose the plated option for a guest count of just under 160 guests. We found the prices to be reasonable as compared to other vendors, and the quality of the menu, ingredients, and overall taste to be outstanding! Additionally, Summit allowed us to make several reasonable alterations to our chosen package, which we were really grateful for, due to several guest allergies, etc! Pam was incredibly communicative throughout our entire working relationship and we are so grateful. She made the process so easy! On our wedding day, everything went smoothly and the Summit staff was fantastic. We look back at the catering portion of our wedding with fond memories. Thank you Summit & Pam!

CaterCow 

5.0

  • Starts at $200
  • Serves Encino, CA

We provide thoughtfully curated catering that your group or event will love. We pride ourselves on an amazing experience and our customer service. We have been serving our communities since 2012 and look forward to serving you as well! We are a great option for those events that may not need table service. Brunches, BBQ's, rehearsal dinners. We do it all and have you covered!

CaterCow was a great choice for meals you typically don't think about. No one plan ahead for lunch the morning of the big day when everyone but the bride and groom are chilling. CaterCow had a wide variety of affordable options to choose from, and we got a nice lunch of Turkish food that was informal, delicious, and just what we needed for the wedding party and family members lounging around the house. We are also planning on using CaterCow for some delicious arepas for an informal baby shower on a rooftop that allows us to bring outside food.

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Encino, CA

Welcome. Chef Jason started out in the kitchen at 15 years old as a dishwasher at Red Lobster washing dishes and baking. From there, he worked many cook’s lines until I earned my first chef position under Emeril Lagasse over ten years ago. He's went on to operating casino kitchens, private dining clubs. Since relocating from Atlanta, GA Jason has gained experience in kitchen consulting and new restaurant openings. After 25 years in the industry, He is now starting a new journey into the Private Chef sector. He refers to his style of cooking as Southern Creole cooking, where it’s much more than cooking…it’s about the overall experience.

The Crain Experience was so amazing and easy to work with! Anytime I had questions they were so quick to get back to me. The food was delicious, the drinks were phenomenal, and the staff/bartenders were easygoing, professional, and personable. I could not recommend them more!
