I am so grateful we went with Jorge and his team to cater our wedding! Even weeks later our friends…read moreand family are still raving at how delicious and plentiful the food was. We ordered deviled eggs, bacon wrapped dates, jalapeno poppers and caprese skewers for the appetizers. We also did brisket and pulled pork with Spanish rice, mac n cheese, potato salad and coleslaw for dinner. And everything was so yummy! I echo what many others have shared in that Jorge is incredibly professional and responsive. Him and the team really go above and beyond - from ensuring the set up was done nicely, to the color table cloth we preferred, they really want to make sure everything is done thoughtfully. I got married in La Arboleda in the Lompoc area and had interviewed many other wedding caterers. Many of which charged an arm and a leg for every item - literally, serving spoons, chafing dishes, linens, tables, every piece had a markup fee as well for convenience even though they were all likely rented from the same rental company that I could have rented from directly. Jorge gave the option for an inclusive flat rate set-up and service fee which was so much more reasonable and simple. I am so incredibly happy with the food and service we got from SmokeMeOut BBQ and highly recommend them for catering.

I cannot recommend Island View Catering enough. Buckle up, there's a lot I want to say…read more We had a Sept 2020 wedding originally, so we were part of the postponement crew. We postponed one year so we got married in Sept 2021. I had to move all my vendors, which I did so successfully. Then, due to some unfortunate circumstances, my original caterer cancelled on us about 4 months prior to the wedding. I was frantic as this was a very competitive year due to all the postponements. I started reaching out to anyone and everyone and to my surprise, I still had a lot of options. I got on the phone with Avrey and he was the first person that really put my mind at ease and made it clear that he could and would do his best to mostly match the menu I had already created and work with me on budget that I already had. He was such a fabulous person to talk to and work with; I just felt really at ease and like my opinions and needs were being taken care of. I'm also in the service business, and I admired the way he was treating me as a potential client. I ended up signing with them and the proposal process was very clear, professional, and smooth. Then he met my wedding planner, and she also thoroughly enjoyed working with Avrey and his team, and that was impressive to me. Then comes the wedding day - holy crap - I had SO MANY people come up to me and tell me not only that the food was absolutely phenomenal (we had a taco bar and delicious apps), but that anyone who ran into one of the catering team members was so impressed by them. I had brought my own bartender, a friend of the family, and she also had nothing but great things to say about the catering team. I later found out that we ran out of margaritas that we had premade, and Avrey said great we'll make more. I am still not even aware of what ingredients we had and didn't have, but somehow they made more. So to be clear, his team went back and juiced a ton of limes and made more batches of margaritas, which they were never responsible for in our contract/plans. My parents and some family friends did a lot of the take-down of the wedding. The catering staffed helped them tremendously - again, not their job. They helped box up extra wine, extra food, and even carry it to my parents car and help them load. The food was INCREDIBLE, and it was so beautifully presented; the team was top notch. Your catering team really makes the wedding flow - if they're disorganized or anything less than stellar, so are your and your guests' experiences. I had so many people tell me that this is the best wedding food they've ever had. Avrey is one of the most professional caterers I've come across - his communication is impeccable, and he just cares about doing a good job. Do yourself a favor, call Avrey and book them for whatever event you have coming up. I only wish I had more events to hire them for.

This week, we were at a wedding for 300 in SYV and Island View catered the meal and the bars. It…read moreis pretty unusual for me to say this, but there was NOTHING Island View could have done better! The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. And the menu was tailored to the bride and groom's tastes. The service was attentive, happy, and always in the right place at the right time. The drinks were legit (not watered-down sugar with cheap booze). And they stayed the WHOLE TIME so if a guest wanted anything more as the night went on, they were there to make it happen... and still full of smiles at 11:30pm!! Truly a wonderful partner for any event! Thanks, Island View Catering, for helping our friends' wedding such a success!

Best Wedding Food Ever!…read more Kyle and Cynthia made our wedding day amazing with the Craft Catering team. Everything about these guys deserves 5 Stars--Food, Aesthetics, Customer Service, Communication Skills, Adaptability, etc. We contacted Craft Catering 6-7 months before our wedding date. They responded with general information about pricing and menu items, and we followed that up with a phone call with Kyle. Kyle took our personal experience and preferences and drafted a tailored menu according to some of our favorite foods and foods that serve as a staple of our relationship. Once the menu was created, we met Kyle for a tasting. We were blown away and instantly knew that Craft was the best decision. Our wedding day was picture perfect, the whole team was on time, happy to be there, and cooked up one of the best meals I have eaten. Notes for those looking for a caterer: The food was epic; it tasted and looked amazing. Their team is great with communication, they worked with us for 6 months to get the menu perfect to fit our budget. The bride is gluten-free - Kyle was able to draft a menu that included GF options as well as non GF options. The comments we received from our guests mostly reflected how this was the best food at a wedding they have ever tasted. Cynthia went out of her way to make sure the Bride & Groom were the first to eat, she served us herself and checked up continuously to make sure everything was on point. Kyle, Cynthia & Team - Once again, thank you for your contribution to our wedding day. We look forward to coming into your restaurant once it is open; Craft Catering will forever hold significance in our lives!

They've consistently delivered outstanding food for our winery events (200-250 guests), catered both of my weddings (yes, two COVID weddings with the same groom!), and whenever we have the chance to get their food in our house, we jump at it.

From the welcome dinner to the wedding reception, everyone couldn't stop talking about how good the food was. The only thing I'm mad about is that we didn't get to taste the tiramisu at our wedding! It was such a hit - it went so fast! If the quality (Pete grows much of his produce locally and knows exactly where to source fish, etc.) isn't enough to hook you, he is so reasonably priced.

From the very first phone call Janet was helpful, informative and inventive. We wanted something different. She worked with us to perfect a menu that we loved and our guests honestly cannot stop talking about the food. They go on and on and ON! That's not typically what people rave about after a wedding, but we'll take it. The food was INCREDIBLE and the service was five star. I only wish I could go back and have it all over again. Jeff is an artist with food and it shows in every bite. We trusted him to put out what seasonal and freshest and he did not disappoint. At our request, he also came out and introduced himself to our guests and they loved it and felt so special. It was truly a meal and an evening we'll naturally never forget and that cannot be accomplished without the fantastic vendors you have surrounding you. I could go on all day. You're in phenomenal hands with New West, just book them sooner rather than later. Many thanks and much appreciation, Leigh Ann & Brien
