I have had the opportunity to work with First Class Catering on a few events. I found them to be extremely professional, both in the way they are attired and their communication with the client. As a wedding planner, I often get requests that are a little out of the box, they have gone above and beyond to meet the needs of my clients and have exceeded the expectation each time. They are true team players, easy to work with and very flexible, not to mention, their food is amazing!!!

Cutting Edge Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Lake Elsinore, CA

Cutting Edge Catering exists to provide couples and clients quality food and beverage options, coupled with reasonable pricing. Here at Cutting Edge Catering we understand that one size does not fit all when it comes to catering, so we've made it all about you. You choose what you like and what works best for your vision, budget and dream, then we make it happen.

We cannot say enough great things about Cutting Edge and are so thankful we hired them as our wedding caterer. They were listed as a "preferred vendor" at our venue and, after an intro phone call with Jessica, my husband and I quickly knew they were the team we wanted to go with. She was so helpful from the start, answering all of our questions, and made us feel really comfortable with the services and flexibility they offered. On top of that, their prices are incredibly reasonable. Throughout the coming months, Jessica, Jeremy, and Angel were great about communicating with us. The tasting was one of our favorite memories from being engaged - such a fun experience (in the most gorgeous venue!) and we were all completely blown away by the food. The hardest part was narrowing down what we wanted to include on our menu... Fast forward to the wedding, where the entire staff knocked it out of the park. Our guests raved about the food, service, and presentation, and it was such a relief to know the Cutting Edge team had everything taken care of. One guest even told us they mistakenly assumed a waiter was on our wedding planner's team because he was just that helpful and knowledgeable! Talk about someone going above and beyond at their job. It's very clear that Cutting Edge cares about its clients and will do whatever they can to make your "catering dreams" come true. We're so grateful to the entire team and hope we have a chance to work with them again in the future. Thank you, Cutting Edge, for all you did to make our wedding day amazing!

To excite You during the planning process and in our tasting room. To give You peace of mind that your dream is about to come to life.

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!

Jeannette was super responsive and easy to work with. She solved all the problems and attended to all my catering needs. Delivery was on time, and the break down was perfect! The chicken piccata was so soft I still find hard to believe. The assorted desserts were definitely a talking point, they sure were assorted (was not even able to try them all!) and so delicious I couldn’t pick a favorite either. My wedding cake was everything I dreamed of! I can’t recommend chef johns more, and it sure was one of the best investments of my wedding.
