Awarded Best of Zola
How can I even begin to describe the greatness that is Chef Shieya and the Kookery and how wonderful she made our wedding?! It started off with planning mode. With an American and a Brazilian getting married, we wanted to have a dish from each culture to make it special for our guests. With a sea bass dish and the steak picanha, everyone could choose. The sous vide steak was so tender, cooked to perfection, the color on it so beautiful, it was the winner. We had a few vegans at the party, and she took care of them ahead of time and knew exactly where they were sitting and who they were. And as always, Chef wanted to kick it up a notch, so she got some black truffles to really make the dishes pop. The full course meal from the watermelon salad to squid ink pasta to the main courses to the wedding cake she made herself was decadent, super tasty, and plated like a million dollars. Aside from the food being perfect, Chef Shieya and the Kookery team delivered a professional experience like no other. From setup to breakdown, they had it handled to where we didn't have to worry at all. The team arrived early in the morning. We went up to go get ready and change for the wedding party, and by the time we came back down they were already completely set up and serving guests. There are so many attention to detail things we didn't even think of, nor did we have to because they already knew what we needed, even though we didn't. So many touches that just made everything run so smoothly. We didn't have to do a thing, and all the guests were taken care of. People still talk about how good our wedding reception food was, saying it was the best they've ever had, better than the regular boring standard food at other weddings. Our special day was made so much more magical because of Shieya and her team. She does everything only to perfection, and even goes a step further to make it personal and unforgettable. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Authentic Argentinian flavors will be bringing a different experience to your event and your guest! Fuegos is passion and our modern set up will bring a nice touch to your party! We can offer a variety of Argentinian delights to improve the experience of your event

Absolutely blown away by the empanadas from Fuegos! As an Argentinean, I know my empanadas inside and out, and these are the real deal. The dough is perfectly flaky, with just the right amount of crisp on the outside, and soft, tender goodness on the inside. And the fillings? Out of this world! Whether it's the classic beef, loaded with juicy, seasoned goodness, or their creative vegan empanadas, every bite is like a little taste of home. I recently used their catering services for a work event, and they went above and beyond to customize the empanadas to perfectly match my taste and that of my guests. The beautiful packaging added an extra touch of elegance, leaving everyone impressed! Not only were they on time with the delivery, but they were also incredibly organized, ensuring everything went smoothly. Their attention to detail truly made the event even more special! Coming from someone who grew up eating empanadas, I can confidently say these empanadas are legit. If you’re looking for a true Argentinean experience, whether for yourself or for an event, you’ve gotta check them out. You won’t be disappointed!

YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 

5.0

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

I’m speechless from the service I received from this amazing sushi company. I loved the food, designs, and service!! I would recommend this sushi over any other ones. Amazing job for my wedding.

Dream caterer! From start to finish, it was a delicious and unique dining experience that would not have been possible without Mel Walker's flexibility during the planning process. GourMel seamlessly integrated family-style dinner service at our request, plus custom cocktails, mocktails and non-traditional desserts. Mel shaped our dinner into something people raved about for the next year. With a deep bench of menu options, we appreciated how Mel talked us through how dishes could work together or be approached differently. Mel's team was amazing and checked on us throughout the wedding. We wanted for nothing! Her service staff is the best in town. Mel choreographed our entire day, facilitated rentals, entertainment and kept up right on schedule. She and her staff sent us off with a surprise picnic dinner with plates, forks, napkins and wine since they knew we didn't eat much due to socializing so much. GourMel goes above and beyond in every way.

The Falafel Factory

  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Pasadena, CA

As a husband and wife duo, and with a shared background in our Egyptian culture, we wanted to create a food experience that highlights the best of this region's flavors, the Middle East, specifically Egypt using our families recipes. Everything on our menu is made in house, in small batches. You have the flexibility of customizing your own menu -- making sure your guests will rave about the food!

Exceptional Mediterranean Wedding Catering Experience! We hired The Falafel Factory for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the results! From the very first consultation, they made us feel confident that they understood our vision and dietary preferences. We love that they offer buffet style service but still bring their food truck so the food is constantly being replenished. Mediterranean-inspired menu was a huge hit with our guests, and we received so many compliments on the food & the display. Miriam truly goes out of her way with adding floral, and adding an elegant touch. We opted for a mix of appetizers, main courses, and desserts, and everything was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend them!

Border Grill Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Pasadena, CA

In 1985, Chef/Owners Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken debuted the first Border Grill as a small, forty seat “taco stand” on Melrose out of a deep affection and appreciation of the Mexican kitchen. Effortlessly blending their classical culinary training with conscientiously-sourced ingredients, and regional recipes inspired by home cooks from Oaxaca to Mexico City, street vendors in Tijuana, and taco stands along the Yucatan and Baja coasts, the award-wining chefs continue to evolve their California-inflected Mexican-inspired cuisine.

I am writing this review wayyyy too late (a little over 2 years after my wedding) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Border Grill all the praise they deserve. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Border Grill previously and found them to be so easy to work with as well as extremely professional. They always had the absolute best food so I knew when I was getting married they were at the top of my list! My husband at the time was hesitant as he isn’t the biggest fan of Mexican food even though I explained to him several times that it's a delicious modern fusion. Once we had our tasting he was sold! Taylor was so great to work with and so flexible with all our requests. We of course had to add on the churro tots for desserts as well as late night tamales. Nothing was left from either of those stations! We did a plated dinner and our guests could not stop raving about the choices, especially the short rib, it was a huge hit!

Your wedding is one of the most important events in your life. fundamental would love to help make it AMAZING by serving up some delicious food and taking exceptional care of you and your loved ones! We understand that planning a wedding can be a challenging task. After finding your perfect venue, simply call us! We’ll help you navigate the catering options and promise to make it enjoyable process for you and your spouse. Catering should be totally stress free and an enjoyable part of your planning; we are here to help!

Food was incredibly important to us, and we wanted our catering search to be stress-free, so we contacted Fundamental from our venue’s (SmogShoppe) recommended vendor list. From the moment we connected with Fundamental, Cindy made us feel confident we could have a fantastic meal within our budget. The tasting experience was particularly special—personal, delicious, and our favorite part of our planning process. We kept it simple with three passed appetizers for cocktail hour and a family-style dinner, but the food was anything but simple! Guests raved to us all night that it was the best wedding food they’d ever had—and we couldn’t agree more! Choosing a favorite dish is nearly impossible, but the fried chicken sliders, ahi tuna tacos, garlic basil sea bass, and wild mushroom pasta were definite standouts. For dessert, we initially planned to have pies from a local shop to add a personal touch, but with limited fridge space, we opted for Fundamental’s dessert bar. We’re so glad we did—everything was handled seamlessly, and the desserts were a huge hit. They also managed the bartending, including high-quality margaritas and Old Fashioneds that perfectly complemented the evening. All the food and drinks were exceptional, far beyond traditional wedding fare. I highly recommend Fundamental for all your catering needs!
