Joshua was very patient with me, as I spoke to him several times and went back and forth on whether or not to get a caterer or just order food from a restaurant. In the end, we decided to hire Joshua to make appetizers and the desserts, as well as a server and bartender, so the reception would be less stressful (and tastier!). Let me tell you we were so happy we did it! The appetizers were delicious. He even made us a little extra so we had leftovers - the bruschetta was delicious in the egg casserole we made :) The cupcakes were also amazing! The server and bartender were professional, friendly, outgoing and very helpful. They even stayed a little extra to make sure everything was cleaned up. Thank you, Joshua, for making our day even better!

My girfriend and I ate at Conscious Creations earlier this evening because I got a Groupon for a…read moredinner for two for $17. I'm going to list the reasons for my two- star review. 1. The food is a 6 out of 10 at best. I had a salad, soup and a vegetarian "enchilada." The dressing on the salad was good, the soup was bland and the enchilada was full of tofu and didn't taste remotely good- or like an enchilada. 2. If we hadn't used a groupon, the prices for each item would have been ridiculous. The salad is $7 and is simply a small plate of greens with dressing. The entrees run between 10 and 12, and really aren't worth it. 3. Josh, the owner/manager, who was also somewhat our waiter is not the friendliest or most agreeable person. I asked if any of the food we ordered had peanuts, since I'm allergic and he looked at me like I was making some big request. He acted like most of the things he did were him doing us a favor, which exactly the opposite of how you'd like to feel going out to dinner. I ended up having an allergic reaction to something in my food, even though he told me my food was not made with peanuts. The ambiance is somewhat nice, and everything is pretty fresh, but even with that, I'm sure there are better vegan/vegetarian places out there. If you have a nut allergy, are not trying to spend a fortune on a meal, are looking for something other than vegetables and tofu in your food, and like friendly service I suggest looking somewhere else. UPDATE: I originally gave my experience one star, but came back to give it another because Joshua sent me a sincere message apologizing for my nut reaction and for the service, and offering a refund for the money I spent on the groupon.

After the reception the plan was to have guests continue with the celebration and enjoy drinks/cocktails, appetizers for a relaxing afternoon through the evening while relishing some sun and beach fun. Arranging this was a breeze and communication with both of them was so streamlined and prompt that everything was set up without a hitch. They both took all my needs and requests into account plus made suggestions that made everything come together beautifully. Chef Carli Parisi and Kristen Sagana, owner of SettheMesa together delivered an awesome Charcuterie spread for our 50th Wedding Anniversary venue!!!! It was an unbelievably beautiful and delicious combination of cold and hot pupus that our guests enjoyed throughout the celebration!!!! Even after the reception and the limited space we had at the resort suite, they made it so inviting that guests dove right into the variety of fresh, delectable combination of appetizers. Not only was the food A++++, they set it up so so exquisitely stunning!!! Our guests were so pleased that they posted pictures of the suite fun in the social medias. I am so lucky and pleased to cross paths with these beautiful ladies!!! SUPERBLY AWESOME!

The meals felt personal, intentional, and beautifully done. I will absolutely be hiring Carli again and recommending her to all my friends. If you're considering a private chef, she's a total standout.

I worked most closely with Cass, and from the very beginning, she felt like my biggest cheerleader. She made me feel like I was the bride she had been waiting to work with--and that warmth and genuine excitement came through in every conversation. Cass guided us through every step of the process with such grace, clarity, and care. Every explanation, every recommendation, every detail--she made sure we felt supported and confident. She and Dan are true professionals and masters of their craft. The flow of the evening was flawless: all the announcements, transitions, music cues, recordings, microphones--everything ran perfectly. It was also incredibly fun creating playlists for our cocktail hour and dance floor using their custom music planning app. The final result? A dance floor full of guests of all ages, all dancing and smiling. We heard over and over how thrilled people were to hear songs from their youth, whatever era that happened to be. That's no small feat--and Cass and Dan pulled it off with style, energy, and heart. Thank you, Cass and Dan, for being such a meaningful part of our celebration. You helped make our wedding perfect, and we'll never forget it!

They were extremely professional, very communicative, and just the kindest people. They sat down with us to talk about every song we did and didn't want played. They helped with the scheduling and timing for all the ceremony songs and our special requests. Literally so many things could have gone wrong, but everything went perfectly. The music was beautifully mixed; all the announcements were friendly, clear, and on schedule; and the photobooth was above and beyond our expectations. We chose to do the GlamBooth/DJ package, and we would highly recommend it. The GlamBooth adds an amazing flash/light to the photobooth experience, upgrades the pictures to a high quality print, and even has a live slideshow for all the pictures being taken at the wedding. Each photo is printed multiple times, and they even saved a copy of every photo for us, presenting a beautiful compilation to us at the end of the wedding. Every aspect of the music and the photobooth was clearly thought out for maximum enjoyment, and we seriously have no complaints. We couldn't recommend Los Gatos DJ enough, especially if you're having a wedding at Nestldown. -Nickie & Jonathan, Nestldown June 2025
