The Wild Thyme Company 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves La Jolla, CA

The Wild Thyme Company was founded in 2005 as a culmination of our Chief Foodie, Dawn Carvajal's, extensive culinary experience and desire to highlight the bold, intriguing, and undoubtedly delicious flavors of global cuisine. TWTC celebrates the art of flavors and beautiful ingredients coming together, and how food can create a sense of community. Most of our offerings are custom by client request. Founded on Mediterranean and Coastal California fares, our menus offer a farm-to-table feel, capturing the essence of fresh food and local provisions.

I live in Houston so had to plan a San Diego rehearsal dinner long distance, which took a good bit of faith, especially throughout months of uncertainty of whether the event could even take place because of COVID. Wild Thyme was on a list of several caterers approved by my venue, The Thursday Club; I selected only three for quotes. I chose Wild Thyme based on its website, menus, and the fact that Gina Eliason, Director of Sales, was easy to work with, listening to what was important to me and making spot-on suggestions. I could only hope that the dinner would be good, as I was unavailable for a tasting. Chef Dawn's food, including vegetarian, beef, and sea bass, was absolutely delicious, and the portions were surprisingly generous and beautifully plated. From appetizers to desserts, every bite was delectable. The service team was very accommodating, flexible, and professional, including when we all dropped our forks during the salad course to run out to the balcony to take sunset photos. Overall, the set up, food, and service led by Ryan were outstanding, and certainly exceeded my expectations. It didn't hurt that wonderful bartender Chad is also from Texas! My brother, who has a long history of hotel/resort food and beverage experience, including The Ritz Carlton, gave the food a big thumbs up. All of my guests were very impressed and thankful, and the gorgeous bride and my sweet son loved everything.

Buckboard Catering and Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves La Jolla, 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.

I cannot say enough amazing things about this team!! The buckboard catering team catered my wedding and they blew us all away!! Ashley was amazing with accommodating our budget, going through the options, hosting the tasting and holding my hand through the process. I had people coming up to me all night telling me how great the food was. They had great communicating with us throughout the process and even with our guests all night. They personally spoke to each guest with allergies and informed them of the best options to accommodate them. They even went out of their way to buy a new salad dressing for a guest with allergies during the event and gave her her own personal bottle to keep at her table. My coordination team was going to take care of cake cutting and our nacho bar but the Buckboard team insisted on taking it off of their hands and took a huge load off of their plates. I got great feedback from everyone about the friendly bartenders and their flexibility with signature drinks and the other options!! I highly recommend you hire them for your next event! Thank you Buckboard for making our day that much more special!!!

Late to the Lake was the perfect wedding caterer for our special day. From the very beginning, their communication was on top of it wonderful - they were incredibly responsive and attentive to all of our questions and requests. The quality of their work and value was simply delicious, unforgettable, and outstanding. They went above and beyond in so many ways, even helping with extra services we didn't even expect. Late to the Lake was a crucial part of the success of our wedding, and we appreciated Danae, Carly, and Ryanne's kindness and impeccable service throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a better catering team to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Off the Vine Dining Catering Company 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves La Jolla, 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!
