Kitchenina 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

The best three words to describe our work and us are quality, consistency and passion. Our company name is a hybrid of the words "Kitchen" in English and "Kouzina" in Greek. We are Greek, so hospitality and food is in our blood! I (Aliki) have been in the Food and Beverage Industry since I was 14 years old. I started as a waitress and went all the way up to a Food and Beverage Manager for big Hotel chains before starting my own company. We live to make people happy and we go above and beyond for our couples. The best part is that we are family-owned and our home-cooked meals are all made with love.

I am a wedding photographer and have been doing this for over 13 years and 300 + weddings. I have seen all kinds of dinners at weddings and one of the perks is that I get to eat what the guests eat generally. I usually will enjoy maybe on of the mains or sides and the rest of the dinner is so so, but what set Kitchenina apart from the other wedding dinners I've had is that every single main and side was delicious. I remember that I even went up to them after the dinner and told them how many weddings I've worked and that their dinner was a top 10 wedding dinner for me from my whole career. I definitely want to work with them again so I get to enjoy their food!

On The Roll Catering 

5.0

  • Serves San Mateo, CA

Fascinated with the art and science of food, Masha (our owner and Chef de Cuisine) has been learning and practicing variety of recipes and cooking techniques since her early teenage years. Years later, as a Summa Cum Laude graduate from prestigious Sankt Petersburg SWISSAM Academy of Culinary Arts, Masha continues to pursue her true passion - sharing her love for cooking through delicious, heart and soul warming food.

On The Roll Catering exceeded our expectations for our wedding! Masha, Lena, and Georgyi (bar) were fantastic to work with, accommodating all of our special requests and last-minute changes with ease. The food was truly phenomenal, featuring delicious options like steak, fish, blini with caviar, etc and our guests loved every bite! What really impressed us was the value we received—our invoice was surprisingly reasonable given the high-quality dishes. Other vendors quoted us more for simpler menu items, yet On The Roll delivered exceptional quality without breaking the bank. The drinks were delicious, and the crew was professional and attentive. They even helped us secure rentals just a week before the wedding, which was a lifesaver! We highly recommend On The Roll Catering for any event!

YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves San Mateo, 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.

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

With a central location in the Bay Area, they serve events around San Francisco, from Napa to San Jose. Hazy Barbecue catering team welcomes couples to taste dishes to create a custom menu.

This service is ideal for large events, and wait staff will be on-site throughout the meal to set up, serve, and clean up. Individually boxed meals available!

We hired Hazy for October wedding in Walnut Creek and it has quickly become a fan favorite! We have eaten there personally multiple times after having never tried it before our wedding tasting. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food - we had kids eating meat when they normally hate meat!! The communication was always prompt and easy! While we did have a few hiccups due to miscommunication Hazys team was quick to correct and get everything in order. I would only recommend slightly warmer catering dishes to help keep the food a bit warmer. But overall we were very pleased with the service and the food!

Montperi Catering + Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

Welcome. Montperi Catering and Events (MPCE) is a full-service company offering catering, event planning, event production and management, specialty VIP services, and unique hospitality experiences. MPCE specializes in corporate, wedding, and private functions, offering reception food and beverage service, buffet service, seated meals, and more. Our general menu is gourmet California cuisine with a Mediterranean influence (clean meat, seafood, spices, healthy and flavorful eating). We love to customize menus for our guests, and can create a variety of regional flavors and styles!

I cannot recommend Montperi Catering enough; they did an absolutely phenomenal job for my wedding this past May. My prior venue had closed (without bothering to tell me), and with less than two months before the big day, I was scrambling to figure out how to plan a backyard wedding during COVID. I had no idea where to start, but then my friend recommended Montperi, assuring me that Chef Lamont's cooking was fantastic. I reached out that day, and was able to connect with Amanda. Amanda was wonderful to work with. She was able to accommodate our work schedules to do a preliminary phone call, and she immediately made us feel so comfortable about working with Montperi to plan a safe wedding. During our socially-distanced walkthrough, she came up with creative solutions for organizing the wedding, figuring out where to place tables, how to staff the event, and how many rentals we would need. Between the walkthrough and the wedding day, she was super communicative, getting back to us quickly whenever we had questions or changes that needed to be made. A few days before the wedding, we had another telephone call to go over the day-of timeline, and she was able to offer a lot of advice and information about how things would go. She would ask us what we planned and immediately offered to help with those things, taking a huge burden off our shoulders. On the day of, everything went perfectly. Amanda and the rest of the Montperi team kept things flowing so smoothly that I honestly felt like I was neglecting them because I didn't have to tell them anything. I was able to spend all of my time talking to family and friends, and never had to worry about timing or making sure things happened as needed because Montperi took care of everything. Everything was set up on schedule, the backyard was flipped from being a ceremony space to a dining space, and my friend was absolutely right - the food was delicious. We didn't do a tasting, so my first taste of the food was of the honey miso glazed salmon. I actually prefer raw salmon to cooked salmon because cooked salmon always felt dry to me. But as soon as I took my first bite of this salmon, I just stared at my husband and went "wow" at how tasty and tender it was. I also stole some tri tip from my sister, and it was so perfectly spiced and cooked. I often hear about people not remembering or being able to enjoy their wedding, but that was never a risk for me. Montperi took care of so much that day, all the way to cleaning up and moving the rentals out of the way. Everything that needed to be done got done without me needing to check on things (and that is hard for me because I can be a compulsive control freak), and I really was just able to enjoy myself. At this point, I am honestly glad that my prior venue shut down because this wedding was everything we could have wanted; we were so happy throughout. I cannot think of any way it could have been better, and it would not have happened without Montperi. My only regret was that I didn't take the time to try all of the appetizers; now I have to listen to my family and friends tell me how delicious they were, without knowing for myself! Needless to say, if I ever have to plan another big event, I know exactly who I will be contacting first.

Affordable Chef Services LLC 

5.0

  • Starts at $800
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

Whether you're searching for a caterer for a dinner party, birthday, anniversary, wedding reception, holiday, company picnic, or other event, personal Chef Mark Gallagher of Affordable Chef Services of Santa Cruz can custom cater a menu just for you. Our highly trained professional staff have the experience and passion to cater your special event.

Mark and his team were wonderful from the start. He was always prompt to respond, kind, and quickly provided any updates to the menu/guest count/linen color change/ etc. We felt so comfortable working with Chef Mark right from the start and that was even more confirmed when we were able to finally meet him on our special day. Mark was adaptable to our decision to move where we were hosting dinner with such a supportive response "It is your day, we are serving dinner where you would like to" with no complaint at all. He arrived a few minutes early to make sure he and his team knew the venue layout and quickly got to work! He was personable making many guests laugh and smile (and even gave them sneak peak tastes into dinner and dessert!). Chef Mark also came down while we were eating to make sure that all guests were satisfied and boy were their smiles on everyones faces! We started with an array of appetizers from olive tapenade to turkey meatballs (my fav!) to ceviche. Our dinner was delicious- chicken, salmon, rice, asparagus, salad, and for dessert, chocolate cake and cheesecake (we ate it all!). All of the food was so good that we were getting texts the next day about all the specifics to our menu from our guests. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Chef Mark if you want comfortable, reliable, and good vibes on your wedding day!

Catering the SF Bay Area since 2011 - we are an extension of your hospitality and believe in meaningful events with delicious food and reliable service. Our team is composed of industry professionals who are committed to the success of your event.

I hired MidSummer Kitchen to cater my wedding and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was phenomenal, everyone kept coming over to me during the reception to tell me how much they loved the food. Communication was so easy - quick responses, easy to understand, and always professional. The Midsummer catering crew during my wedding were also very professional and kind. Leading up to the wedding, I worked a lot with Cleodia. She was very kind, professional, and understanding whenever I had question or had to make changes to the plan. 2 months before my wedding, I had a problem with my venue and Cleodia was a great help. She helped me remain calm during my panic, helped me find possible new venues, and worked with me to create a quick solution to a major problem. I honestly don't think I would have found a new venue without Cleodia's help and I am very grateful. I would 100% recommend MidSummer Kitchen for all your catering needs. If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would.

El Coqui Puerto Rican Cuisine 

5.0

  • Serves San Mateo, CA for additional fees

El Coqui has been bringing the flavors of Puerto Rico to Sonoma County Since 2009. Jackie was born in the Bronx and raised in Queens NY by her Grandmother who would take her back to Puerto Rico every summer. El Coqui has been recognized by the Press Democrat and the North Bay Bohemian as "Best Latin Restaurant" in Sonoma County year after year. We were featured on Food Network, Check Please Bay Area and won the Gold Medal at the Sonoma County Harvest Fair.

El Coqui catered our wedding and Jackie and Tina were beyond professional and helpful through every step of the way, from the tasting up to the big day. I sincerely appreciated how much they went above and beyond the call of duty with their kindness. The food was amazing, we received lots of "best food at a wedding ever" compliments, and as a bonus, we had a lot of wonderful leftovers for the rest of the week. I can't recommend the restaurant and the food enough - be sure to consider them for your next wedding if you really want to impress your family, friends and guests.
