We also had someone in our group with dietary restrictions. Hannah ensured that she fully understood our friend's dietary limitations and even made a special dessert she could enjoy. Apart from the food, the service was amazing - the kitchen was left spotless and it was such a relief to continue to enjoy our evening without all the clean up. Hannah and Ian are also lovely people with a very calming demeanor and that definitely added to what was a perfect evening. We would definitely recommend Coming Home for your next event!

The food was so good and our guests raved about it even after the event. We opted for a multi course plated service and everything was delicious, presented so beautifully and made fresh local ingredients that truly wowed us all. I highly recommend their short ribs, baked havarti oysters, and do not pass on Bruces famous brownies! We absolutely loved how great the team was to work with as well. From the very beginning Bruce listened to the tastes/foods that were important to us and delivered on our special day. Jordan was a true hero handling our event rentals and making sure we had everything we needed for our bar service. Both were very responsive the entire time, and even hosted us for a tasting a few months prior to the event allowing us to sample what we were getting ourselves in to. I'd like to add that we also played a round of golf with them- these guys really love what they do and the people that they get to work with and it was really special for us to gain friends along the way. Thank you guys again for such a wonderful experience and we can't wait to work with you again soon!

From our very first phone call, they brought such fun, sweet, positive energy, and that carried through the entire planning process. They were truly a joy to collaborate with, and their pricing is incredibly reasonable for the level of quality they deliver. I loved their farm-to-table approach, and the fact that they were already so familiar with our venue made everything feel effortless. Planning a destination wedding all the way from Florida to Big Sur could have been stressful, but they made this part of the process an absolute breeze. One thing that really stood out was how present and friendly they were with all of our guests. They were so kind during the buffet service--everyone felt welcomed, and their customer service was exceptional. Our guests could not stop raving about the braised beef and the desserts... truly outstanding! You cannot go wrong with MacDonald Farm. They were a dream to work with, and I cannot wait to share photos once we get them. Michael and Daniel, thank you both for being so genuine, kind, and talented. We are incredibly grateful you were part of our big day!

Both Daniel and Mike were an absolute joy to work with from day one and completely blew away all of our expectations with the most delicious and breathtaking reception dinner for our wedding at the Wind & Sea Estate in Big Sur. The farm-fresh deviled quail eggs garnished with parmesan crisps were an absolute hit! We were also gushing over the glazed chicken meatballs, the strawberry and ricotta kale salad, and their homemade chimichurri sauce... I could go on! We were nervous how we would pull off an elegant dinner without a coordinator at a challenging and remote venue, but Mike and Daniel are truly masters in the kitchen who showed the utmost professionalism from start to finish, making the whole experience easy, fun and so enjoyable. We especially loved how genuinely excited they were to be a part of our wedding instead of feeling like we were just another event - it makes a BIG difference! Mike and Daniel won everyone's hearts over at our wedding, including our other vendors! Nearly every guest or staff member in attendance asked us at one point or another, "How did you find them?!?" That's how memorable they were! We are SO impressed and happy with our experience, and cannot recommend Macdonald Farms enough. We truly found a diamond in the ruff with Mike and Daniel. Thank you both for everything.

We rented a house for our wedding in Carmel by the Sea, and wanted a plated served dinner for our rehearsal dinner, and breakfast items left for the next morning of the wedding. Crystal and her team showed up timely and just took care of business. They arranged furniture and chairs to make seating for our 20 guests throughout the house. The services was perfect, the food was DELICIOUS, and I am an amateur chef myself. We had appetizers, salad, and short ribs and shrimp and everything was cooked to perfection. My family could not say enough about how the cheesecake was the best they have ever had! Crystal and the team cleaned up and were on their way like absolute professionals. I could not have asked for a better evening! Then we move on to breakfast. The quiches were so flavorful, and the fruit tray tasted like she put a little spritz of heaven on every peace of fruit! I will certainly hire Crystal again, and next time I'm in the area try her restaurant. Thank you Crystal and your team, you were absolutely a joy to work with!

We worked with Hollie for over a year leading up to our wedding at the Wind and Sea Estate in Big Sur in September of 2023. An elegant dining experience with top notch food and service was what we wanted to create for our wedding, and Hollie and her team delivered that and so much more. We worked closely with Hollie over the months to craft an elevated dining experience starting with passed apps and a grazing table followed by a 3 course plated dinner menu and finished with a delectable fall themed dessert. We were lucky enough to meet Hollie 7 months before the event to get to know her, taste some of her incredible food, and work on the menu together. Throughout the whole process, Hollie was extremely flexible and creative in crafting our menu to be just how we wanted, customizing every little detail to make it perfect. She was SO organized and very communicative in the months leading up to the wedding. She also was a huge help in determining all of the rentals we needed to curate a beautiful and elevated dining experience for our guests, all the way down to the correct number of forks! I don't even know where to begin when it comes to the day of the wedding. Hollie and her team of at least 7 people created the most memorable, elevated and magical experience for us and all of our guests. The waitstaff was top notch, providing better service than we have received at many restaurants. It was the perfect dinner party to celebrate our wedding! It's hard to put into words how delicious the food was. We so appreciate that Hollie uses ingredients from lots of local vendors and provides the highest quality items in her dishes. The food was exploding with flavor, perfectly cooked and so fresh. Every little detail in each course did not go unnoticed, we savored every bite! Our guests cannot stop talking about how it was one of the best dining experiences they ever had. We are already trying to plan when we can work with Hollie again. Thank you for the most perfect day!
