Rubin's does a lot of breakfast and lunch catering for our office and their food is pretty good…read more My favorites from here include the yogurt parfaits, and the mini bite-sized pastries. The fruits they serve with the breakfasts are also really fresh and they have a good variety; for example, today's fruit tray had blueberries, raspberries, red and white cherries, yellow peaches, pineapples, and honeydew. Their lunch boxes are also good but I've had them one too many times:-) and need a break. I like that their lunch boxes provide a salad, fresh fruit, a wrapped cookie, as well as a wrap - so it's a pretty balanced meal.

I have attended numerous catered events and I must say that Jeff's food and and service ranks among the absolute best. The stations were beautiful and impeccably maintained. The paella was as good as any I ever ate in Spain... succulent actually. The two pasta dishes at the Italian station were exquisite. The butternut squash ravioli were outstanding... just natural sweetness. The passed appetizers were unique and scrumptious... I could so easily have made a meal of just those. The wine and beer bar was also outstanding... his method of delivery provided ice cold beer in pilsner glasses... festive and delicious. The bar snacks were also quite outstanding. I don't know what he did to his almonds, but they were irresistible and unique. The dessert table was magnificent.... like a wedding reception in France... an amazing assortment of tiny delicate pastries. The accompaniment of French hot chocolate was absolutely the living end. Mr. Machado's servers were elegant and attentive. The venue was kept sparkling clean throughout the evening. Look no further for the very best food and service!

Wow. My fiancé and I were already big fans of Local Mission Eatery and Locals Corner, so we asked…read moreLocal Mission to cater our wedding. The food was creative, seasonal, and perfect for the occasion. One thing that stood out for me even more so, was a very thoughtful gesture by one of their servers. As my wife and I were just about to join all of our guests, he presented us with with a plate featuring two of each of the hors d'ovures. "There's a good chance you'll forget to eat once you see everyone" he said, "So I've made you your own plate. It's OK to slow down and take care of your selves first." We did and it was delicious. Everything was delicious. Weeks and even months later people even asked us to find the recipes for dishes served at our wedding. Who ever remembers specific dishes from a wedding? Jake and Yaron have a passion for food and service that was palpable from our first tasting to the final course. I can not recommend Local Mission highly enough.

It really felt like you were a part of the wedding, not only was the food amazing, but you were also so flexible on the day with timing, and we really appreciated that.

Meeting us on-site to familiarize yourself with the existing set-up and walking through where we wanted to host the buffet and bar.

All of their suggestions were right-on. The quality and originality of the food was excellent. And plentiful. It was a very successful, very well presented and well received event thanks to this company. We paid more than we had expected, but we had by far the best food (including small metal bowls of cioppino and scallops!), and the best catered event in our organization's 20 years of annual receptions. This is a top, top caterer with user-friendly staff. I recommend them unhesitatingly.

Where do I even begin? Frances and her team at Charmed Events are truly wedding planning magicians!…read moreWith 14 years of experience as a Floral and Event Designer myself, I've had the privilege of working with some of the best planners in California. When it came to planning my own Carmel Valley wedding, there was no question in my mind - Frances was the one! Having collaborated with Frances over the years, I've always been struck by her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuinely warm personality. Her design aesthetic is just dreamy - romantic, modern, and effortlessly sophisticated. There's a certain magic in the weddings she designs, always infused with personal touches that make them feel special and unique to the couple. Throughout my wedding planning journey, I gained a newfound appreciation for Frances from a client's perspective. She not only listened attentively to our ideas but also transformed them into a breathtakingly cohesive design concept that perfectly reflected us as a couple. Every detail was just beautiful! Also, amidst some issues that arose with the venue, Frances proved to be our steadfast ally and advocate, navigating unforeseen challenges with grace and diplomacy, ensuring every detail was ironed out. As the wedding approached, Frances introduced us to her principal planner and right-hand woman, Emily. Together, these two are a powerhouse duo! While Emily handled logistics such as transportation, vendor coordination, and timeline, Frances focused on executing the design vision flawlessly. As a complete bonus to their already awesome services, Frances also personally designed all of our signage, menus, seating charts, and programs. Personally, I would have had her design my invitations had I known of her talents sooner! On the big day, Frances and Emily were our guardian angels, orchestrating every moment with precision and grace. Emily's attentive care during the morning-of made me feel like a princess. She brought me and my bridesmaids delicious bites, made sure my dress and veil were perfect during first look photos, and her calming presence helped to ease my nerves. Meanwhile, Frances was busy overseeing the vendors, and set up of the ceremony and reception, which were honestly executed to perfection. The reveal of each space took our breath away and exceeded all expectations. It was truly a fairytale come to life! One more thing I want to mention about these two was that they really listened to our request to make sure that the wedding didn't feel rushed, and that we even had some moments with just the two of us. The timeline was so thoughtfully crafted that on the big day, it really didn't feel like the "blur" that everyone talks about. We were able to be present with each other, and even visit with our guests during cocktail hour and reception. There was a sense of ease about the day that allowed me to really just take it all in, and I think that is very special. Thanks to Frances and Emily, our wedding day was stunningly beautiful, perfectly orchestrated, and absolutely unforgettable. If you're in search of a planner who embodies competence, professionalism, and impeccable style, look no further. With Charmed Events, you'll receive the five-star treatment you deserve and an exceptionally magical day tailored just for you!

Not a fan of the service that was provided at my best friend's wedding. Would NOT RECOMMEND…read more Everything was behind schedule. Couple had their send off over an hour after the planned time. Bride was very stressed out. Pens for the guestbook were not quality checked and did not work. The brides father and brother had to go to the venue to receive and quality check the table and chairs. Things were not set up on time (lots of waiting around for dinner, dancing, bouquet toss). Multiple times during the reception I saw her consulting the bride. Consultation and the plan of the vision are supposed to be established ahead of time. The wedding planner is supposed to take off as much stress from the bride and bridal party. I don't feel the brides best interests were taken into account- the bride made some bad calls and the planner should have stepped in with professional judgement. Guests would have been perfectly happy with 30 minutes of dancing. 1 hour + of dancing is just too much for guests AND the bride was exhausted!!! Several times I saw wedding planner standing around doing nothing or picking up menial things and not prepping for the next event, chitchatting, her assistant was not knowledgeable on the dinner menu. For several of the events I was the one running around -finding the getaway car keys, finding the bouquet, finding people to move things along. She was inept and making the wedding reception flow - guests were frustrated. Even if bride has crazy wishes - yes you want to do what she wishes but not at the expense of a drawn out event that makes guests want to leave.

From helping with ideas for themes to suggestions for 'should haves' at the reception that I had not even thought of. I received so many compliments about the fact that everything from the programs to the decorations throughout the ceremony and reception reflected the personalities and loves and both my husband and I. On the Big Day she was indispensable. I had many family members taking on roles and she made sure everybody was in the right place at the right time. And when I had a big dress mishap she was there to save the day! Carolyn is very kind, had tons of ideas and was a fabulous friend to me throughout the entire planning process. I couldn't have done it without her.

For the month of August 2026, this business occupies the La Cocina stand slot at the Ferry farmer's…read moremarket. The stand is behind the building if you're facing the water. On their 1st appearance, there was a small crowd and I had a busy schedule so I didn't stop there. The following week, I walked up and studied their menu (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=EDZSeq0Se-VINb7kPco9KA) and picked up a couple of things. I started with the rosewater lemonade (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=ZQMir1P6UgaeL3XqdwgWTw) as I walked the market; I really enjoyed this, to the point that I only drank about 1/3rd; knowing my penchant for cold (as in ice cold) drinks, I saved the rest to bring home to pair with a cup of ice. I will get this again next week if it's available as the rosewater fragrance made this really good. The next day, I tried the hummus, garlic jalapeno (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). A friend gifted me a bag of pretzel sticks which I liberally dipped into the tub (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=g89oWFqGs0ZpgvTL3AAa7w), finishing almost half of it while watching a basketball game. I liked the smooth bean texture and the flavors were good yet not overly spicy. The following week, as promised, I brought home an order of the chicken kabob (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=ekbhwsXqihPYYl1cYF_zOw), chicken breast marinated in a blend of Afghan spices, char-broiled to perfection, served alongside pia bread and Afghan chopped salad. Having lunch already planned on that Saturday, I was tempted but declined on getting the kabob plate. Thank you to Ayesha who manned the table and told me that they should have the same menu for the rest of August here. Only two more Saturdays at the Ferry Building.

I wasn't even sure if that existed within our budget. I am SO grateful we found Ayesha at sister's catering (also love the name!). Ayesha helped ease our fears by meeting with us monthly to go over the details and make updates to our menu and meticulously plan the wedding day itinerary. We really felt taken care of. My Maid of honor shoulders felt so much lighter with her help! Ayesha was there every step of the process to make sure we found the right vendors and venue. Her access to designers, venues and hotels made my life so much easier so I wouldn't have to find all of these on my own. Everything exceeded my expectations! Our friends and family are still raving about the food! I would definitely recommend Sisters Catering and Events.
