Since our office started catering Simply Lunch I've noticed a more positive vibe in the air. It's true, you are what you eat. By offering employees fresh and nutritious food you can see how it influences energy levels. When you go from eating a Simply Lunch meal it's hard to go back to anything else. I've been working on my health in the last year and I've been very conscious of what I put in my body. With the fresh organic ingredients that Eco Caters uses I know I'm treating myself right and don't worry if I'm eating healthy. I read more

Eco-Caters was hands down the most professional and easiest catering company to work with. Jessica Sleep was by far the most pleasant liaison and boss that I have worked with. We hired Eco Catsrs to cater our wedding in August because we wanted San Diego represented with local, organic and vegan options. We were told this time we are supposed to be stressed, we experienced the exact opposite. On day of Jessica was not only professional she put any of my own stress to rest with her very easy communication and in the moment problem solving skills. Not only was the entire staff professional, all of my guest raved about the flavors and freshness of the food. Eco Caterers not only cleaned up, they left our home cleaner than when they arrived. I recommend Eco-Caterers not only to my San Diego community but to my closest family and friends. Thank you Eco Caterers, and thank you Jessica for making this the most special celebration of our lives! read more

What can I say? Simply Lunch has simply been the best thing to happen to our lunches in our office. We went from previously having a scattered array of choices, ranging from the light to the extremely heavy, to now having much-needed consistency and focus on our HEALTH more than anything. Being in an office where we spend much of our day behind a computer screen, it is imperative that we take care of ourselves in as many ways possible.... especially when it comes to what we put in our bodies! Simply Lunch from EcoCaters has really been a game-changer in my energy levels and overall satisfaction with my dietary choices at the end of the day. Heck, I'm eating beautiful salads almost every day now! Quite the change for me, in the best way possible. Whats even better, I don't think we've had a repeat meal over the last 6 months we've been getting our lunches catered in office! Can't beat that variety. The convenience is also a nice factor here, where the EcoCaters staff comes in at the same time each day, sets everything we need up, and is off in the blink of an eye. No fuss, no mess. The same person then returns a few hours later to collect the supplies and clean up after themselves. Convenience level is truly through the roof. I would recommend EcoCaters and their Simply Lunch services to anyone who is willing to listen. They have truly shifted my perspective on what lunch catering should mean! read more

Where do I start. I worked this past weekend with Emily and her awesome team. I was the Dj/Mc and man did she help me under a very high pressured day. We had heat and rain and in one so the weather wasn't on our side. Everyone handled it so professionally and worked as a team. I hope to do another event with them in the near future! Defiantly recommend them for catering for any type of events. -Dj Obi Whan read more

We hired Ecocaters for our October wedding at the Martin Johnson House and had a great experience! After a series of very disappointing tastings I went to Ecocaters and tasted some of the best hummus I've ever had in my life (as well as other wonderful tacos, mini sammis and grilled veggies). We had our hearts set on a taco bar and Ecocaters was very reasonable for the quality. They also were able to accommodate a vegetarian jackfruit carnitas option that was absolutely delicious! We got all our rentals through Ecocaters and our coordinator very patiently adjusted layouts and rentals many times for us (thank you Jessica!) and was helpful in explaining a lot to us - her past expertise at the venue was also helpful. The day of the whole team was amazing. We did not have a day of coordinator and relied on family and friends to help us set up. We heard the Ecocaters team was a huge help and they handled all the clean up as well. They navigated conflicting instructions and were always there when we needed something smiling and ready to help! Highly recommend for your wedding or event! read more

Me and my husband have no words to be able to explain how AMAZING this company is!! They were a God send to us. Let me start from the beginning...I was working with another catering company at first and just was not being treated like I felt appropriate (I will not go into detail as this is not their review), I was constantly telling my husband how sad and displeased I was by their service, until one day it just got to be too much and I decided to look for another caterer only months away from our wedding. In comes Eco Catering, as soon as we spoke with them I was at ease and felt special and most importantly heard! They listened to everything we had to say and treated us like we were their only concern. It was exactly how we imagined it was suppose to be and more. The food was INCREDIBLE and is still being raved about by our friends, but let me tell you about how much more they are than food!! This team made sure we had the wedding of our dreams! Helped with set up, timing, making sure every detail was perfect, and keeping me from worrying about anything at all! They were not only our catering for the most incredible food, but handled the decorations, and was basically our wedding day coordinator. We can not thank this company and their amazing, friendly, hard working, caring staff. EVERY SINGLE PERSON in this company went above and beyond! Please please please do yourself a favor and not even consider anyone but the BEST for your event, which is obviously Eco Catering and their whole team. We have to give a special thank you to Emily and Jessica with Eco and also Cristin who works for their partners Platinum events, you guys made our wedding a dream and can not thank you enough! read more

I had the pleasure of having my ice cream truck at a wedding they catering. I was brought in by the groom and put in contact with Eco Caters. Right from the start the communication from Donika was great. Both Donika and Emily checked in on me during the event to see if I needed anything. Everything went as planned and the wedding was great. Its always a pleasure to work with professionals that know what they are doing. read more

Exceptional in every way. From start to finish Eco Caters were fantastic (and we will definitely use them again). Emily was a pleasure to work with (we made lots of changes to our contract/plans and she never batted an eye) and wow did they deliver on their product. The food was incredible. Our guest raved about everything and the staff and servers were perfect throughout. Thank you so much for making our party a smash. read more

Eco Caters catered my wedding... and people thought it was freaking awesome. Definitely hire this group. First off, they came to my wife's family's house and cooked us the entire wedding dinner in their kitchen (for free I believe) to showcase the Eco Caters menu. That's a fairy common practice, I'm sure, but it was mind-blowing that it was really happening in our house, and for free. Since it was delicious, we canceled our meeting with another caterer and hire Eco several days later. The wedding went off without a single hitch and everyone at Eco help make it the best day ever. I couldn't recommend these guys and girls more. read more

Eco Caters was one of our FAVORITE wedding vendors. Everyone knows choosing your caterer is a large part of the wedding budget and that food is one of the larger parts of the guests' experience. So I was very, very picky when deciding on a caterer and was down to a couple favorites. However, when it came down to it, I chose Eco Caters because I absolutely love their food options and the fact that they're eco-friendly, organic, and overall a fresh, eclectic vibe. In addition to that, I really enjoyed working with Janee and Jessica. Part of what sealed the deal in terms of choosing them was heading to Ocean Beach to do a tasting, where I met the head chef and his wife, who run the business. They were super professional, and displayed that they had a great level of experience doing exactly what we were asking for. Their flexibility with the menu was HUGE for us, and allowed us to save here and there, which made a big difference for us and our budget. They did a great job with the bartending and making our specialty drink. I actually had a couple guests tell me they loved the bartenders themselves. That was a HUGE bonus because when employees are clearly happy doing what they are doing, even though it is hard work, that vibe reflects onto the wedding day experience, so I was happy to hear that bartenders/servers seemed pleasant and not just trying to get through the night ;). We also chose to have Jessica/Eco manage our rentals as well - which was a life saver. Jessica did a walk through of where we were getting married (San Diego Botanic Gardens) so that we could determine what was needed. I loved that she took the lead in telling me what was most common to do, what I didn't need, etc. The day went very smoothly, and guests raved about the food. I wish they had a restaurant so we could relive our wedding day tastes again. Thank you so much, Eco Caters! read more

We were married this past weekend and held a reception in Pt. Loma for approximately 80 people. What we experienced with Eco Caters was nothing short of amazing! This company provides unbelievable service to its clients every throughout every step of the planning process, on into the event and after. We have never been more impressed with Owner/Manager team as we were with Emily, Nicole and Jessica. These ladies new their business! They were able to make accurate and concise calls with regard to all of the details for our reception, and were available to answer questions and address any concerns, (not that we really had any), typically within the day. The food that Eco Caters provided was just as incredible as their management team! They use an on-site oven to actually cook and prepare the food right at your reception/event, which is how their unbelievable food options are able to be so freshly enjoyed by your guests. Add to that the fact that the food is local and organic, and you have a combination that is out of this world. We cannot wait to have another party...if only to use this company again! read more

Delicious! My husband and I just got married this past weekend and Eco Caters was simply amazing. First, the food is fabulous, we did a mexican food theme for our wedding with blackened fish burritos and carne asada burritos. Both were a HUGE hit with everyone at the reception. Even the sides were awesome! Heirloom tomato rice and sesame green beans = perfection. The organic fare was filling but didnt make you feel like you so full afterwards that you couldnt dance, it was just the right amount food! Beyond the food, the staff was incredible. We had 3 venue changes (due to some shady business people at certain venues), but Eco Caters was SO accommodating throughout the whole process. Special shout outs go to Emily and Catherine! They helped me get all my equipment rentals as well, and acted as a liason between us the rental company. I can't say enough about how much they helped me out with all of this. Also Emily worked with me to create my custom wedding menu that turned out so wonderful. We packed up all the left overs and have been eating them the past couple of days, and it's still delicious! I would recommend Eco Caters for anyone, their customer service, amazing food, and reasonable prices are top notch. Cheers to them! read more

Choosing Eco Caters for our wedding was an awesome choice. We met with multiple catering companies before making our decision and working with Nick, Emily, and Jess was a great experience! From the initial meeting where we did a food tasting, they catered to what we liked, their food was AMAZING, and we got many, many compliments on our food options during and after our wedding! We mainly worked with Jess for all the coordination and details related to our wedding and I cant say enough good things about how kind and helpful she was! I felt like we were in really good hands and I trusted the day of everything would happen that needed to, and it did! Thank you everyone for taking such good care of us and our guests! read more

Working with Ecocaters was such a pleasure. They were very easy to work with and had the most amazing staff!

Eco Caters recently catered a wine dinner at our home for 10 people. Everything was flawless for a group of very hard to please winos. The menu was crafted to pair with the wines we had chosen, each course more delicious than the last. They are quick, efficient and it's a joy not having to cook or deal with serving my guests and just enjoy the evening - well worth the cost! To us it was important to select a catering company that chose responsible sources of meat and vegetables - they source almost everything locally (within a 100 mile radius). The ingredients shine in each course, our guests were very impressed and we can't wait to use them again. read more

Eco Caters is AMAZING! I did a lot of research before landing on Eco Caters to cater my wedding 2 weeks ago. The food was absolutely delicious AND the service was fantastic. Lauren and Emily were perfect in helping to arrange the details of the day and had everything we needed to make sure that all bases were covered. Lauren was always accessible and easy to communicate with whenever I needed. Many of my guests (including those who go to LOTS of weddings) told me afterwards that the food was better than any other wedding they had been to. AND the food was all organic, sustainable and local - huge bonus! read more

Eco Caters was absolutely fantastic from the first email inquiry to the end of the event. They are so professional, kind, easy to work with and accommodating. The food was also absolutely incredible. I would 100% recommend using them for any event! read more

Eco makes amazing food and their coordinator Emily is a JOY to work with. Eco catered our wedding of about 100 people and it was a huge success. I'd been told food is often not as good at the event as at the tasting. Not so here. Everything was as delicious and thoughtful as it was in the tastings, which I drooled though. How could you not drool over a duck confit donut with jalapeno honey butter??? In the end though, Emily's coordination made our wedding. We had all DIY decorations and desserts and with little direction Emily set everything up, added thoughtful creative touches like folding our craft paper table runners and just made it look incredible. You could tell she really took time understanding our vision and executed it with absolute professionalism. She kept everyone on track and on schedule and even found a sewing needle when part of my dress fell off. We could not have been happier with all elements of their service and they were worth every penny. read more

Eco Caters catered our wedding earlier this month and I can not say enough wonderful things. I am a corporate event planner and come in contact with many vendors so it takes a lot to impress me. Well I am, was and will continue to be impressed with Eco Caters. I came to them with a menu and a dream version of my wedding and Lauren took that dream/idea and made it come true and more. Thank you Eco Caters! I will keep you in mind when I make recommendations to others as well as in my future event planning career. read more

Eco Caters was a pleasure to deal with for my wedding reception. I met Adam (the owner) at a Bridal Bazaar, and was impressed with Eco's dedication to serve local, organic, healthy food. After Adam and Katie answered several emails with very helpful information on the whole wedding-planning process, I was convinced that they were organized and capable of pulling off a great event. The hardest part of working with them was choosing a menu. Everything we tried at a tasting was delicious, and left us wanting to have one of each. :) They were very willing to modify some dishes so that everything that we served, except a chicken dish, were vegan (trust me, the meat-eaters had no complaints!). Everything was very fresh and locally sourced from farmer's markets. Day of, everything went flawlessly (as far as the bride gets to know). The food was as delicious at the event as it was at the tasting, and we got tons of compliments from our guests. The service staff was very efficient and courteous, and did a great job of cleaning up (and keeping my wine glass full!). I would highly recommend them for any event planning. They were a little more expensive than some of the other places I checked out, but the value and service definitely was worth the price! My budget was pretty tight, and they were willing to work with me. I wish they had a restaurant, so I could eat their food more often! read more

I've worked with Eco Caters for about 3 years on a variety of events - they are our preferred caterer. Last week, they did our corporate holiday party and we were extremely happy. The food is so tasty, the planning process is very well structured, and the staff is really attentive and friendly. We will use them many times over!! read more

My wife and I used Eco Caters for our wedding in October of 2009 and we were blown away by every aspect of the process - from the tasting to the reception. Not only was the food ridiculously delicious, Nicholas and Adam we're truly excellent with communication and professionalism. On the day of the event they were both there and completely on top of everything. All the staff they had with them were great too. I really can't say enough how happy we were with them. We recommend them to anyone who asks about catering. And on a personal level, we were really happy to support their business because Adam, Nicholas, and all their staff are just great people. The price was very reasonable and again, the food was delicious. All our guests loved the food and service. I know this review may sound over the top, but we really were that happy with Eco! read more

INCREDIBLE - We hired Eco Caters for our wedding and while we expected them to be very good, they went above and beyond! They were very neat and efficient and fit in perfectly with our wedding! Every single person had great things to say about the food; which consisted of all of their wraps, farmers market salad, and the potato salad which was particularly very popular among our guests! I actually lost count on how many people said it was the best potato salad that they have ever had! Even the lemonade was amazing. The service was top notch, the food was amazing and healthy, and at the end of the day everyone was extremely happy with Eco Caters, especially my wife! They really helped make a great day perfect! I would highly recommend Eco Caters in a heart beat to anyone. Thank you Eco Caters!!!! read more

Eco Caters recently catered/coordinated our wedding last month and it was the best decision my husband and I could have made! Our tasting we was hands down the most delicious food we sampled throughout our planning process. The food is mostly local and organic and prepared with great care. During our reception, our guests RAVED about how amazing the food was! We had plaintain chips with guacamole, cucumber-mango cups and amazing shrimp ceviche for cocktail hour and an organic taco bar for dinner. We all enjoyed the fresh, seasonal fare and were ready to dance the night away afterward...no one felt "stuffed". Of course we expected the staff to be friendly, helpful and professional-which they were-and we were really blown away with the amazing attention to detail every step of the way. In addition to catering our cocktail hour and reception, we also chose to have our wedding day, (not the actual ceremony, although they do offer that option), coordinated by the Eco Caters team. Emily and Kylie are the awesome ladies who were with us every step of the way. I cannot emphasize enough how INCREDIBLE they was as they helped us plan our wedding day! As a busy bride and groom-to-be, we loved how promptly our emails were returned and questions answered...this made everything run smoothly the day-of. During the initial reception venue walk-through and the phone meetings leading up to our wedding day, we were so thankful to have fun, knowledgeable professionals on our side! Emily and Kylie thought of elements that we never considered...lighting, table placement, when to have speeches, etc. We could not have been happier with our Eco Caters experience.In a nutshell, Eco Caters is THE BEST. :) read more

This 5 star review is way overdue! Eco caterers catered my son's wedding last November and the service and food for 160 people was impeccable. From the initial tasting to finalizing menu items they were prompt, helpful and the food was delicious! Service at the wedding was well staffed, water and bread was promptly replenished at the dinner tables. We selected a stationary cheese/charcuterie display which was artfully displayed and immediately consumed! Tray passed hor dourves were well seasoned and at the appropiate temperature for the selections. Thank you Eco caterers for a job well done! read more

We hired Chef Nick from Eco Caterers for our daughters wedding on 10-29-16 and it was without a doubt the best food we've ever had at a wedding...and probably the best steak I've had anywhere! Considering they worked out of our kitchen in a beach rental house (nothing fancy) but you wouldn't have known it from the food. Then the service was beyond our expectations...absolutely the best all around experience!!! Thank you Nick and Tyler for a wonderful evening and such an important part of the whole day! read more

Such a professional, easy to work with crew all around! Our event could not have gone smoother and that was because of Eco Caters. As an event coordinator that is EVERYTHING. I will definitely be working with them again in the near future. read more

I'm a wedding photographer and working with Eco Caters has been great! They create really beautiful and super tasty menus. Their staff is all very polite and helpful. Emily & Jessica are both really great to work with- they're super sweet, but also keep everything on track timely. read more

Unfortunately, our experience my wife and my experience with Eco Caterers was terrible. They canceled our contract a week before our wedding. I will attempt to provide all details as accurately as possible. We signed a contract and put down a deposit to have eco-caterers provide us with 2 bartenders for our wedding. The contract was signed and deposit paid 2+ months prior to the event. 4 days prior to our wedding we were informed by our day of cordinator the contract had been canceled by Eco Caterers. (Note: There was an email sent by Eco Caterers 8 days prior to the event which we did not receive or was lost (I got a copy later, so I believe it was sent. 4 or 8 days, it is really irrelevant when you signed a contract 2 months prior, but in any case but I did want to mention. I also think canceling a wedding contract would deserve a phone call. Okay, read on.) When we pressed Emily (owner) as to the reason for the cancellation we were given a number of reasons (which kind of changed as the conversation developed:) 1. They thought they were going to get the catering part of the wedding as well and that is why they agreed to provide the bartenders (why did you sign the contract for just bartenders then?) 2. It was too much liability (why did you sign the contract then?) 3. They were not going to make money off the event (why did you sign the contract then?) The one that she really stuck to in the end was that they were not going to make money. I tried explaining to her that canceling a contract that you set the price on days because you realized you were not going to make money was extremely poor business etiquette. It feel on dead ears. She did say she was very "sorry." I said, don't feel "sorry" just "fulfill the terms of the contract." She would not. Note: Emily did mention at some point we had originally told her it was a rehearsal dinner (unsure why that would matter.) I asked her if she had any email record of us saying that or providing mis-information. She politely said she did not- so I moved on past that. The invoice/ contract makes no mention of rehearsal dinner. I don't even know why it would matter- but I bring it up anyways. All of above warrants a one star rating. In the interest of full disclosure the following did occur after cancellation, but it was really irrelevant for their rating. Upon cancellation, Eco Caterers originally provided us the name of two temp agencies to get bartenders after our contract cancellation. A bit stressful to deal with four days before your wedding. (Who is going to serve my 100+ guests all the booze we bought. Is anyone?) Emily then said she would ensure we got some other bartenders the following day. "Look, I will ensure you will get bartenders." (3 days before wedding. Hours of sleep already lost. Hours spent calling around looking for bartenders during an already super busy week. Why not just provide the bartenders and let us enjoy our wedding week?) Emily then agreed to let us hire her bartenders directly. She confirmed they were available (days before wedding. Hours of sleep already lost.) They would not come with bar sets, or ice- so we would have to handle that (more stress.) We did not take her up on the offer as we thought it best to move forward with some bartenders our cordinators found in the interim. As with anything, everyone sees things differently. I have to imagine Emily saw things differently. The facts remain: 1. We had a contract singed 2 months before event 2. They canceled the contract 4-8 days before the event 3. The reason was not for a breach of contract by us 0 stars. read more

Eco catered our wedding and we loved the food as well as the team! We worked with them to create the personalized, special touch we were looking for and they ran things so smoothly day of and throughout the entire planning process. They are professional, accommodating and a joy to work with. Highly recommend them and so glad they were a part of our wedding! read more

Eco Caters catered our wedding a couple of months ago and did an absolutely extraordinary job. We also added the "day of" coordination (which is actually a month of planning) and the team was an absolute dream. They start taking over communication with all of the vendors a month before the event. The add-on was hands-down the best purchase we made for our wedding. The entire Eco Caters team is so easy to work with, but I absolutely loved Jessica. She was quick with replies and made sure everything went exactly as planned. I still hear from our guests that our food at the wedding was the best wedding food they have ever had. We were so pleased with everything! Beyond the delicious food, I was impressed by Eco Caters' service and ability to connect with us. We feel so grateful that Eco Caters was a part of our most special day! I highly recommend them for catering + coordination without any hesitation. read more

Eco Caters recently catered and coordinated our wedding for 150 people. It was a new venue for them and they absolutely rocked it. Everything was fabulous - the food, the service, the coordination, everything. We had a Latin themed menu - Plantain chips with guacamole and roasted jalapenos, Habanero chicken skewers, farmers market salad, wild mushroom quinoa, lemon-lime asparagus with cilantro, chicken and beef fajitas, and roasted polenta cakes with market vegetable ragout. PHENOMENAL. Our guests raved about the food and we loved it! Best part? Local and seasonal produce. We had vegans, meat-eaters and vegetarians, and all were happy campers. Food aside, the service was fantastic. Our coordinators made sure every little detail was taken care of and we were able to step aside and let them run the show. The entire crew was great - friendly, helpful, and they worked like mad men! I can't say enough good things about Eco Caters. They are incredible. Five stars really isn't enough. read more

Eco Caters provided a vegan dinner for our Wedding in Palos Verdes, California, in June. The food was delicious, and the people were a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend hiring Eco Caters for any events! read more

Eco Caters was one of my favorite vendors to work with for our 7/25/2015 wedding. We started out working with Lauren as our wedding planner, I believe she was moved to another location, so Jessica stepped in and we thoroughly enjoyed working with Jessica. The day of, Jessica was out there on a hot day sweating her butt off, and very touched by the sun making sure our day went smoothly. And throughout the process, She was extremely responsive, she was quick to answer our questions, and when we found out we were expecting a baby, she was very helpful with helping us find ways where we can reduce the costs in some areas. So, Eco Caters provided catering, and planning for the month of our wedding by the way. They handled the wedding rehearsal, and keeping in contact with our vendors. They helped us with figuring out how much liquor to buy, they managed the bar, they set everything up at our venue, and just made all the separate elements shine through cohesively. We did our tasting with the owners, Emily and her husband, and they were awesome to work with as well. The food was awesome, we got TONS of compliments on the food. I'm personally still craving the beef brisket and the Gouda Mac and cheese we got. Also on our menu was Creole blackened catfish, and green beans with crispy shallots, all of it was delicious. Overall, we would not hesitate to work with Eco Caters again, the team did a fantastic job. read more

I worked with Lauren at a wedding this past weekend and she was fantastic! She made my job a lot easier as she was very on top of things and extremely friendly and easy to work with.

We used Eco Caters for a corporate event and they were amazing! We loved every minute of working with them. Emily, Nicole and team were extremely helpful and wonderful every step of the way. I felt confident going into the event that everything would go smoothly because Emily made the planning process very easy and was always a step ahead of me. Whenever I had a question or concern, she was on it or already had it taken care of. The team was so helpful the day of, and the food was delicious! Nick and team are excellent chefs. All of our guests loved the food and many made a point to tell us how impressed they were. So good! Highly, highly recommend them for any event. read more

I would absolutely recommend Eco Caterers to any of my clients. As an event planner, I value quality, professionalism and great customer service. They are fantastic! San Diego Events Company approved. read more

Eco Caters was SO amazing at our wedding and Emily was so calm and comforting, especially when our priest surprisingly fainted right before the ceremony! It was the best day of our lives and we are so grateful to Eco for doing such a fantastic job in the unusually HOT weather - guests are still raving about the kalua pork. Their assistant was a bit unorganized & unresponsive leading up to the day, but Emily ROCKED IT day-of which is all that matters. Thank you Eco! read more

My husband booked Eco Caters for my surprise birthday party as he wanted to make sure that I could eat. He worked with the chef to build a menu that was safe for me and it was absolutely fantastic. They were organized, knowledgeable of their foods and recipes, cleaned up the kitchen after they were done cooking and very friendly and professional. It was amazing to be able to eat knowing it was AIP, candida and gluten free. The sautéed greens with pork belly was to die for. Thank you eco caters. read more
