Chris' Ono Grinds Island Grill - North Park 

5.0

  • Starts at $1
  • Serves La Mesa, CA

Our business started back in '09 at local Farmer's Markets, and we have been grateful to expand ever since. Our team and family have built up a cozy brick and mortar in North Park, and a fast-paced location inside Liberty Public Market in Point Loma. San Diego is the best city in the world and we love the rapport we have built within the community. We look forward to continued growth as we spread our Aloha spirit to more venues and customers.

Okay, you have to book Ono Grinds for your wedding. You just have to. Our wedding day was perfect and beautiful, but the thing that we keep hearing about from our guests was how amazing dinner was!! We ordered enough food for our guests to have multiple plates — expecting leftovers. There were none. Our guests loved it so much it was completely devoured! The end product of course is so important, but I have to mention the experience we had working with Andrea. She went above and beyond to make our day feel as perfect as it was! We did a tasting with Andrea to determine our perfect menu and she not only brought the delicious food but brought her wealth of knowledge as well! She worked with our venue to make sure everything was taken care of and that we didn’t have a worry in the world. Our day was perfect, and it’s because we worked with the most amazing people, and Andrea was a huge part of it all. Andrea, we cannot thank you enough for everything you did to help make our day as special as it was. Thank you and your team from the bottom of our hearts!!

Our passion is creating memorable culinary experiences for our clients. Hand crafted cuisine is prepared with carefully selected fresh ingredients and served by our talented staff.

Mexico City Cuisine (MCC) should be at the top of your list for wedding catering. Their food is so good, service amazing, and they are flexible with adding “extras” to meet your needs. Would book them again. I do wish they had better tech/communication methods other than email and phone call, but it didn’t impact their service or quality on the day of, which is all that matters.

The Wild Thyme Company 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves La Mesa, 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.

The Wild Thyme Company was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding catering. From our first interaction, their communication was clear, helpful and attentive - answering all of our questions thoroughly and putting us at ease throughout the planning process. They also pitched in ideas for additional rentals and reviewed our final rentals list to make sure we were covered. On the day of our wedding, their staff was friendly and professional, ensuring the food service went off without a hitch. The quality of their work was truly outstanding - the presentation of the dishes was beautiful, and our guests raved about how delicious and filling the meal was, from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the entrees. We were blown away by the value we received, as the food was worth every penny. Of course, there were some unplanned moments and guests, all of which were quickly and professionally taken care of by TWTC whether it be an additional plate or serving. The tasting we did prior to the big day was also such a memorable experience, with the chef and event coordinator going above and beyond to make us feel special. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience, and we're so grateful to The Wild Thyme Company for helping make our wedding day so perfect.

Del's Hideout 

5.0

  • Starts at $25
  • Serves La Mesa, CA

Del’s Hideout is your family-friendly neighborhood BBQ spot serving up authentic Texas-style BBQ in the heart of Del Cerro. Executive Chef Tim Eylens executes his signature “low and slow” technique on barbeque classics including prime brisket, pork topped burgers, baby back ribs and his popular smoked meat combos.

We had Del's Hideout cater our wedding and they provided us with an amazing experience. Everything was delicious and the service was top notch. They worked with us on the menu to acommodate some special requests. Despite being a BBQ restaurant that focuses on meat (which was amazing), our vegan guests also raved about their food, and said it was the best vegan food they ever had at a wedding. The team took care of all of our guests and we received nothing but good feedback from everyone.

  • Serves La Mesa, CA

Criscito Pizza is a wood fired pizza company specializing in weddings and corporate events. Our wood fired pizza is baked on site at 800 degrees.

Whether you are hosting a birthday party in Carlsbad, a wedding party in Del Mar, a private corporate luncheon in San Diego or a backyard blow out in Oceanside, we bring our mobile pizza catering services to you.

I’ve been to Italy many times and the pizza there is one of our favorites - I absolutely love it - so much so that we could eat it every day. My husband is half Italian so when we heard about Criscito Pizza and their wood fire oven with 10 different styles of authentic italian pizza, we were sold. We didn’t expect it to be that good, but Criscito’s exceeded our expectations and the food was all that the guests could talk about. Best pizza ever and I highly recommend Criscito’s Pizza for any event or just to enjoy some truly phenomenal pizza.

Buckboard Catering and Events 

5.0

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

YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves La Mesa, 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.

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
Truly a remarkable experience from start to finish, they operate with such excellence! We have been using Off the Vine Dining for a couple years now. They have done intimate events with us, and some of our larger company events with hundreds of people. Brian has always been extremely helpful curating menus with me, all of the menu offerings are so fantastic that I have always had a problem selecting items. He goes above and beyond with taking in account all of our dietary restrictions that some of our guests have, he has even customized and created some menu items for us. I was so touched at one of our events when Brian overheard one of our guests say they didn't do dairy, and was able to make some small adjustments so that the guest could still enjoy every dish. That's above and beyond! Brian and his team always do a beautiful, professional, and efficient job setting up, serving, and cleaning up. The decor is stunning, they have fresh flowers and everything is presented so wonderfully. They even left my kitchen cleaner then when they arrived, I told my husband lets host an event next time we need to clean our kitchen, hahaha!! The service is always amazing, the team is so cheerful and always smiling during the events. You could tell they really loved serving people, it was such a delight to experience. Most importantly, the food is delicious and I have always received wonderful feedback from our guests who enjoyed the culinary offerings very much. Thank you Brian and Off the Vine Dining team, all of you are so wonderful to work with. Brian, you can tell you love people, and love food, the BEST combination in a caterer. I HIGHLY recommend Off the Vine Dining and look forward to using them again for ALL future events.

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!
