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!

YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION

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

They were also able to bring pizzas out to the bar quickly enough that no one ever had to wait. They easily catered to dietary restrictions of our guests.

Buddha Boy Tacos

  • Starts at $1,850
  • Serves Irvine, CA

Welcome. Buddha Boy Tacos is a one-of-a-kind culinary establishment with a menu inspired by the idea of authentic and honest cooking. Starting in 2019, we developed a unique dining experience for all of our guests using fresh and sustainable ingredients—taking you on a culinary journey like no other. From classic recipes to new-age kitchen adventures, each dish reflects our passion for high-quality food presented in a simple yet pleasing manner.

Buddha Boy Tacos was our 2024 wedding caterer, and also our bartending and dessert service - yes, they are a triple threat!! And they completely blew us away! We heard about their catering service from a friend and tried their tacos at a local pop up. Immediately after meeting Alexis and Marcus—and trying the food—we knew we wanted them on our special day. They had the best energy and took a genuine interest in us and our vision for the wedding. From that point on, they worked closely with us to create a personalized menu that suited us and our guests. Alexis was so good at making the planning process as painless as possible by making recommendations, pitching ideas, and meeting us multiple times at the event site. We got to try our apps, main course, and even cocktail options prior to our event. Their presentation on our wedding day was just beautiful, the food was delicious, and our guests are still raving about the churros! The bartending service was equally impressive. The bartenders were fun, efficient, and crafted some of the best cocktails we've ever had at a wedding (we might be biased). It is clear that Buddha Boy Tacos takes great pride in their work and goes above and beyond to exceed expectations. We could not have asked for a better experience and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch catering for their event. Support this local South Bay small business and you will NOT regret it! THANK YOU, Alexis, Marcus, and the rest of the team, for making our wedding day unforgettable! :)

Fire and wood was one of the most memorable things about my whole wedding. Everyone loved the food! My roots are in the east coast, so when I read about Chef Thomas and saw his food photos, I was drooling with anticipation. I loved what he had to offer on his catering menu but I challenged him to make a few fun twists for me. My close family and friend from NYC/NJ gave it all a chef’s kiss approval. I went home with leftovers and my hubby and I relived the moments for a week! 10/10

The owner of Board & Blooms, Chelsea Jacobson is beyond talented, extremely knowledgeable, and so easy to work with. My husband and I were trying to throw together a diy backyard wedding and she was so kind & helpful throughout the process, I’m not sure we could have pulled it off without her. All I had to do was show her some Pinterest inspo pics and she turned my wedding dreams into reality. She did all the florals for the tables, wedding arch, bouquets & boutonnieres. She also ended up coordinating for us, because she has a background in wedding coordinating and we were a bit lost on the timing of everything… it was so helpful having her expertise to draw on! Lastly, she created the most stunning grazing table for our guests… everything was delicious and we got so many compliments. She is so incredibly talented and I can’t recommend her enough! Thank you again for all the love you poured into our wedding Chelsea!

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!
