  • Serves Newport Beach, CA
  • Offer

Above All Catering & Events has been delighting its customers for more than 25 years with mouthwatering menus, versatile venues, and exceptional event coordination serving all of Southern California, including Orange County, Los Angeles and Riverside Counties.

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.

Summit Event Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Newport Beach, CA

For 33 years, our mission has led us to You. Our priority is giving You the trust and confidence that you deserve. To listen carefully to your ideas and ask the right questions from the start. 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!

Cutting Edge Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Newport Beach, 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!

We’ve used food first events & catering three times now. The level of detail, service, and food is outstanding from begging to the end. These guys are pros. We even trusted them with our wedding. I wouldn’t do it any other way. They go above and beyond with helping with all the details of events to ensure the customer has an excellent time. 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. For example, surf and turf, to vegan, and our last event, which was Thai. All were outstanding, think Michelin star quality. They are very kind and take all of our needs in to consideration. They have great ideas on how to make an incredible event thats creates life long memories. These guys are the best! They even did my sisters wedding.
