Graystone Catering (John & Tammy) was a huge highlight of our wedding. The food was genuinely great. They were also fantastic to work with throughout the process. Tastings were smooth, communication was clear, and they were flexible with our preferences and guest needs. On the day-of, service was efficient and professional, and everything ran on time. We got so many compliments from guests about both the food and the staff. If food is important to you (it was for us), they're a great choice. read more

My wedding day was everything I dreamed of thanks to Graystone Catering and event coordinators. Not having to worry about guests getting delicious quality food, or stressing over finding every vendor took so much off my plate. Everyone was raving about how good the food was! And the presentation was beautiful! They work seamlessly, their professionalism and ability to execute dinner service and hors d'oeuvres was done so with the utmost ease and precision. Their years of experience show with how streamlined coordinating my special day was. Everything was thought of and considered, allowing me to enjoy celebrating marrying the love of my life, which is what a wedding is all about. Staff is courteous, attentive, and they handle all cleaning afterwards. John and Tammy are communicative and punctual, we truly enjoyed working with them! I would highly recommend this company to anyone and want to thank Graystone for their dedication to excellent service. There's a reason they've been in business for over 25 years, and it shows. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. read more

We worked with John initially with catering services for our wedding on 11/08/2025. We met John for a tasting and met another time at the venue to go over day of/set up. Both times and all communications before the big day was good. Fast forward the week of the wedding. Here comes in Tammy to fill in for John because he had a family emergency. I'm not sure how much was communicated between the two. On day of the wedding, I noticed it was already 1pm and there was no signs of the caterers. Not one call giving a heads up that they were running late. At our walk thru, John said he would be arriving at 11:30/12pm. Eventually they did show up. I was told by guests that the food was good. I was called the next day by the venue director that Graystone had left grease and oil stains all over their property!!! I have video and photos to show the mess and damages they left behind. They did not lay down tarps in all of the areas they were at. I also have some of their linen napkins which tells me their staff didn't bus the tables like stated. I was told by wedding coordinators and venue management that they did a poor job at cleaning and respecting the property. John had reassured me that he leaves the property cleaner than what it was. Tammy and the staff that night were the opposite. Anyways, I got left with a damage and cleaning bill from the venue from their mess. I've been trying to reach out to John since the wedding and crickets! Very disappointed in their promised Service. John and Tammy if you are reading this - give us a call and make it right. read more

One star for their business practices. The venue: backyard Wedding Most of the negative reviews on here and on Google, the Knot, are about their lack of communication the unprofessionalism of the husband and wife team and as it gets closer to your wedding and after you paid your deposit, you're pretty much stuck. They do not accept credit cards not even for a deposit. They are currently the preferred vendor at Skypark Santa's Village but talking to people up there because I am a season pass holder, I doubt that preferred status is gonna last very long and again it's based on their business practices and communication. Their food is good, but not good enough to deal with their unprofessionalism. The staff they hire is a combination of mediocre and OK. They wanted to serve cake before even clearing the dishes from the tables. I would never use them again, and I would recommend you stay away. read more

Moral of the story: Keep in touch with your wedding vendors consistently, because if they are anything like Graystone catering, if you don't reach out to them, they might just cancel on you too close to your wedding (or not show up at all). If I had never tried contacting John, I'm not sure if they would have ever reached out to me to let me know they were going to cancel on me. I was very disappointed with the lack of professionalism from this caterer. I will be getting married in September 2023. Graystone catering received my deposit to secure catering services for my wedding in November of 2022. After I made multiple attempts via email and phone to hear from John (just to ask a simple question), he eventually called me back. Before I had a chance to even ask my question (a question that I had been waiting over 2 weeks to get a response to), he tells me they are going to cancel services for wedding (which I had already paid a deposit for months in advance). I was immediately speechless. He proceeded to explain that it was because of a "family emergency" of some sort (I'm sending my best wishes, but it's hard to wrap my head around an emergency that can come up 6 months in advance). I simply responded with "I will need my $500 deposit back". He questioned me at first, "Did you pay your deposit already?", adding to my distress. Yes sir, 5 months ago when I booked you. I immediately made sure to follow up the phone call by sending him an email with an image of my deposit receipt. Refund was received. However, I made it my goal to lock down a caterer in 2022 because with inflation, caterers have become significantly more costly in 2023. Now I am back to square one with finding a caterer and time is no longer in my favor. I genuinely want to believe this caterer's reasoning for the cancelation, but something tells me he must have quoted another event for more money and felt it was easy just to cancel on us. In which case would be a very unethical business practice. Zero stars. read more

I have a hard time leaving poor reviews, but I'm still really bummed about my wedding at Skypark on 10/8/21. The wedding was beautiful, and the food was great (thank you, John), but I was disappointed with the wedding planner, Tammy. She was adamant we had to use vendors approved by the venue. I told her I wanted a Photo Booth, which was not a vendor option a few months leading up to my wedding. She told me it wasn't a problem and that her and her husband, John the caterer, were thinking of purchasing a photo booth to offer as a vendor. I had to put a deposit of over $1k down once she verified they'd supply their own Photo Booth at our wedding. She promised we would get a copy of all guests' photos, so I didn't get a wedding guest book for our loved ones to sign and thought it would be even better to get a photo book to put said Photo Booth pictures in. I also didn't get a videographer (my husband and I were already paying $40k for this wedding without family help and I was more than tapped out). We NEVER got the pictures. I reached out the next month, and she said there was a problem and she'd reach out after Thanksgiving but asked if I'd leave her a good review in the meantime. It's been almost 3 years, and I'm still waiting for a response and the darn pictures. My husband and I didn't have a videographer (which kills me) because we thought we'd get these Photo Booth pictures to look back at, and now we don't have a wedding video or the Photo Booth book. It's just really a bummer. No apology either!! No recognition at all. For how expensive this beautiful venue is, this and other things left a bad taste in my mouth. My coworker got married to her husband Gino a year or so before we did and had the absolute best experience and said it was worth the $30k+. We didn't have that same experience read more

I cannot express enough gratitude for Tammy and John and neither can our guests! My now husband and I got married May 15th, 2021 at SkyPark in Skyforest, CA. Tammy is extremely responsive and so so so incredibly kind. Through the entire wedding process I felt informed and heard from. She gave so many wonderful tips and tricks to make the wedding planning easier an more fun! Even during covid, they invited us into their home to try their amazing food for our wedding dinner. During the wedding day, she checked in on me multiple times throughout the day to make sure everything was running smoothly. She informed us of everything and anything that happened covertly without causing worry and concern. John and his team are amazing cooks and our guests cannot get over how amazing everything tasted. Everyone came up to us and told us how impressed they are with our meal and appetizer selections. He also came out to check on us multiple times during the meal to make sure everything tasted amazing. I felt so bad I was not able to eat everything! If I was to re-do my wedding for ANY circumstance I would not hesitate to go with Graystone Catering and Event Planning again for all of our needs. I literally cannot thank them enough for providing the best experience for Jared and I! read more

Amazing service. Even better food. We held a small reception in Lake Arrowhead and John and staff were prompt and courteous. The food was perfect. The decorations, perfect. Everyone left well fed and content. I can't recommend John and crew enough. They helped make our wedding truly memorable for our guests and ourselves. read more

Graystone did the catering for a wedding I attended at Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins in Twin Peaks, CA and they did a phenomenal job! Purely from the perspective of a guest, all employees were very gracious, including walking around to the guest tables after everyone had dished up to make sure we were all happy and if there was anything else we needed. Restaurants don't have service this gracious! And the food was absolutely delicious, our table couldn't shut up about how yummy it was. While it did have the look of a standard wedding buffet spread, there was definite love and quality infused in each bite. We dined on grilled lemon chicken, tri-tip, roasted veggies, a spring salad with two dressing options, buttery herby red potatoes, and rolls with butter. The cocktail hour eats we had were simple but tasty - fresh fruit plates, and juicy spicy meatballs on large toothpicks. Coffee provided with dessert was simple but very nice - good nutty flavor, with two flavored creamer options. As a guest at this party, I was very impressed and happy - if I needed an event in the area catered, I would not hesitate one bit to work with Graystone, thanks for a delicious meal on a special day! read more

My husband and I wanted to leave a review. We could not be more pleased with your wedding, I was speechless with the service and food. I had too many people give us compliments on the food many wish they could take some home, the chicken the big hit!!!! Both John and Tammy were so great, Tammy always made sure we were well taken care of on the day of our wedding. Any help I needed they helped me feel less stressed as long as I gave them direction. If you need a good caterer please make sure to check them out, their food was amazing! They had a plate for us at the end of the night to make sure we savored every bite. Thank you John and Tammy for all the help and for always responding to all of our questions and for accommodating and requests we had for our wedding.

We used Graystone Catering for our wedding in September. From our first tasting to the end of the wedding, John and his team were amazing! He was very accommodating when we wanted to change our menu selection. On the day of our wedding, John made sure myself and my husband were taken care of. It was 104 degrees at our outdoor wedding, and our DJ was having equipment issues due to the heat. John and his staff made sure myself and my wedding party were given water and fruit while waiting to walk down the aisle. John personally checked in on us several times throughout the reception to make sure we didn't need anything. We never had to get up for anything; somebody from his team was always there to get us anything we needed. The food was amazing and our guests loved it. His team helped set up the tables before the wedding started as well. Literally anything we needed, they were there to help. They went above and beyond what you expect a caterer to do. They boxed up all the leftovers including the cake for us to take with us. I highly recommend Graystone Catering, you will not be disappointed. Thank you John for helping to make our wedding so memorable. read more

If I had to base the review on the food then it would be 5 star. John and Tammy catered my 09/19/21 wedding and they seem like nice people. But leading up to the wedding, I tried to contact them on several occasions but they did not reply or were very short. Later on, I tried to contact them several times regarding timeline and such but they did not reply. They didn't email me until they needed to finalize things just a few weeks before. The day of the wedding; John made sure we were doing good throughout the night and made sure we had a snack before taking pictures. But they forgot to make the vegetarian dish and one of my bridesmaids mentioned they didn't have it out for them. She asked John when getting her plate and he said there wasn't a vegetarian choice. The day of coordinator wasn't Tammy like I thought, she told me this 2 days before the wedding. The day of coordinator they had was Esmerelda. Tammy said she will show up at 10:45am but she didn't show up until around 12pm. She hardly checked on me, I had to go to her to ask her questions and told her to let me preview the centerpieces and arch before the wedding. She did not come get me when she was done. The centerpieces were good but wished they had more greenery around them and the arch didn't look the way I wanted it. I saw the first set up when I went outside to ask her something and I didn't like it. She changed it but she still didn't come to me when she was done and I was already walking down the isle when I saw it and it looked better but the greenery looked like it was droopy (needed to be higher on the arch). So now it's in all the pictures. Also Esmerelda was rushing us on taking pictures and I didn't get all the ones of my family like I wished because she wanted us to do the Introductions to the reception while we were trying to get a few family shots and promised to do more after the introductions but we didn't have time to before the sun went down. I wish I could have rated them higher and had very high hopes for them. The other venders they had were very good like the DJ and Bartender. read more

If you have been to a lot of weddings like I have, you know just how terrible food can be at a wedding. Not the case with Graystone! Because of terrible past experiences, I had a clear mind of what I thought would be good food for a wedding. Graystone offered to make me those dishes for our tasting along with some of their past favorites. I was really surprised to find out how good the other food was and completely abandoned the menu I had in mind. I originally wanted fetuccini alfredo and a chicken dish and I got over that real fast when I tasted Graystone's island chicken and grilled steak. I never thought those flavors would be good for a wedding but I was wrong! I loved it, my husband loved it, and my guests are still talking about it. My favorite part was John listened to how I wanted the food prepared. The steak originally comes with peppers and mushrooms. We asked for no mushrooms (per my husband's request) and that was honored. We asked for the steak to be prepared medium, and it was prepared how we asked. The chicken was moist and delicious. I made sure to give myself enough sitting time to enjoy my dinner. They made sure we got our food first so that we could enjoy eating while our guests were busy getting their food. I appreciated this touch as it allowed us to take a breath and relax while everyone was distracted. I also enjoyed that we were offered appetizers right after the ceremony ended. I was so hungry from only eating breakfast early in the day so having a quick bite before an hour long picture session calmed my stomach down and made the moment more enjoyable. Thank you so much John and staff, you were amazing. Heather and Daniel Rozier Pine Rose Cabins October 14, 2017 read more

My husband and I had Graystone cater our wedding this past weekend, and in the words of one of our guests, "I can tell by a wedding's food how the marriage is going to be, and you guys are going to last because this food is amazing!" We couldn't be happier with our decision. The food went above and beyond our expectations, and we are still enjoying the leftovers this week. H I G H L Y recommend! read more

We used Graystone for our weding in August of this year and we were very happy with the both the quality of the food and the great presentation. To this very day people comment to us about how delicious the food at our wedding was. I am happy to recommend this company to anyone looking to cater an event. Great service at our reception and our guests were all very pleased. read more

From the moment I started planning graystone made everything easier. The really make everything as easy as possible and help your vision come to life. We got married at The Grove in Redlands with no package, venue only. Graystone was our all inclusive package and did everything for us. Once we had our tasting, there was no doubt we had to have them. Food was very important to us and we still say that was the best food we've had! With high expectations I was anxious to taste the the food at the wedding and hoped it would be the same as the night of the tasting. My guests are still raving about the food! Tammy made my day run so smooth and didn't leave anything for my family to worry about. Tammi and John checked on us through out the night and made sure we had everything we needed and wanted! I would recommend Graystone to anyone and everyone! Thank you for being apart of the best night of my life! read more

I got married at Marina Resort, Big Bear Lake Ca on Sept 7th 2012. Loved Graystone's food and presentation; Loved our appointment and preview before we booked them, and my guests loved the food too. Everyone had great things to say about the dinner. I disliked the communication between John and us, and disliked that although all our communication was done through John, he wasn't around for our event, and had sent his wife. His wife was lovely, but I felt that if he had stated he would be there at our wedding and was the person we were corresponding with, he should have been present. Our first time meeting her was at our wedding. He was a no show. read more

John and his wife are a dynamic duo in the kitchen. The food was amazing from the rice pilaf to the hawaiian chicken we chose for our wedding day. Everyone at our wedding raved about the food and how they kept wanting more. John made us feel immediately supported once we met him and was able to adjust to my dietary restrictions. You can feel the genuine kindness and concern to make our day the best within every conversation. I would highly recommend Graystone Catering if you want some delicious food and to meet some great people! read more

John,and Graystone Catering, Thank you for making my our wedding day an awesome experience! You guys were execellent!. Needless to say, as mentioned in other reviews, the food is exceptional! And the service went above and beyond to make our day a great one! For dinner, we had a huge plate of top sirloin and lemon herb chicken. However, my wife being a picky eater, had a special request for herself. John specifically made her a plate of mahi-mahi and teriyaki chicken, with fresh salsa for salad dressing (perfect to her request). Me on the other hand, I am picky about what I drink. I asked John for a fresh strong brewed plain iced tea and he took care of that just for me! And he kept the glass full! John let us be spoiled brats for our big day, and he did it with great care and attention to detail! Thank you Graystone Catering and John for making our big day an excellent one. Kenny and Shuree S.

We had a wedding on 8/22/15. The food was amazing, during the tasting event and during the wedding. Everyone loved it and they loved the Jamaican meatballs and shrimp we added as an appetizer. John and his staff were so professional I felt like they were from a 5 star restaurant, truly amazing and they way they handled things was great. I do have a couple of things that upset me during my wedding. The moment we walked down the aisle they were waiting for us with the appetizers we ordered. Maybe some people are hungry but we were in such an awe with the wedding and just saying I do's to each other, we didn't want food shoved in our face. It would have been nice if they had one staff member come over with one platter about 10 minutes after the ceremony during cocktail hour. So when I told him we didn't want any but would still like to try it, he said he would have a little platter set up on the side for us. This did not happen. We never saw or tasted our appetizers. This was the most disappointing thing of my entire wedding but of course from Graystone Catering. Before the tasting I requested to try the Jamaican meatballs which was an unusual request because John does not usually provide appetizer tastings during the food tasting but he said he would do it for us. So I was disappointed when we go there and they weren't available at the tasting. I know I know, its just meatballs, but no one has any idea how much I wanted to try those suckers and was never able to. Just so disappointing for me. Another minor thing, we were served dinner when we sat down which was nice, but of course we had people talking to us, one kid had fallen down and hit his head so we were distracted with that. We barely ate any of our food and they took it away when we tended the hurt child. I wanted to eat! I was hoping they were going to leave the food there so we can come back and eat throughout the night. All in all, this catering is one of the best out there, these guys are awesome and how they treat you is spectacular. I would recommend these guys but rating 4 stars because of my huge disappointment with the appetizers. read more

If you are considering or contemplating Graystone catering, you absolutely, no questions asked, have found the BEST in wedding catering. John, the owner is an absolute dream to work with! I recently just spent a year and a half planning a pretty unique wedding, one where I supplied all my own vintage china/glasses/flatware/etc.. John worked with me to create a system where all of my dishes were cleaned and packed/hassel free. It was amazing. Not only was their service impecable, their food was to die for. I cannot tell you how many guests told me that Graystone was the BEST wedding meal they had ever HAD... and, I agree with them. The meat is cooked on site, portions are HUGE and the presentation is beautiful. We also had quite a few vegetarians, and there were plenty of options!! My husband and i consider ourselves SO fortunate for choosing John & Graystone catering for our wedding, and wil recommend them to anyone and everyone we can! My fave: Lemon chicken with a buttermilk sauce, yum yum Thank you Graystone for making our wedding meal unforgetable! xo -the buchan's read more

Writing this review is a bit complicated, many things that go into a rating&this star is for the OVERALL experience from day one to wedding 11/4/17. FOOD - if I could just based on food= 5 stars. Received many compliments on the island chicken, red potatoes, and pasta huge hits for veg. I hear the bow tie salad was also good - but when we were given our plate we didn't get any of that an either of our plates. I am sure she would have given it to us if we asked, but to be honest I completely forgot about it so didn't know to ask! Now for the experience and why unfortunately I don't feel I can give over 3 stars IF that - service 2-3 stars- even though they made a few things right, and go smoothly there were too many headaches and broken promises. I think John & Tammy are both nice people & enjoyed working with them,as people. However, for a business that w/19 yrs experience(which I heard like 12 times throughout!) , it should've been a lot smoother of a ride. I decided to go back to my emails and notes before this review (I write DETAILED notes!). First off, my initial email correspondence was great! I really appreciated that. But in my 3rd or so email John wrote $500 deposit. Then when it came to paying the deposit it was suddenly $750 - which honestly I didn't think a big deal at the time - but the discrepancy is in the same email thread and that is a BIG discrepancy from a business perspective. That aside, I had many questions answered both via email & at our tasting (which was lovely & really sold us), after things started to get hazy. I made it clear from day one I needed to rent linens and a sweethearts table. John was a bit hard to reach until about a month out. I verified with him linens, & he basically made me have a momentary freak out because he said he wouldn't be able to provide linens unless they took them when they left, which was before the end of reception! Same with the sweet heart table! So when I started to freak out a month before the wedding now w no linens or SHT, he calmed me & said not to worry they'll do it still like said, although they at first wanted ME to take the linens & SH table home! Uh no! So they followed through, Great! But really NOT worth the extra stress, perhaps shouldn't offer rentals if you don't want to stay for the reception? More broken promises - he thoroughly expressed at the tasting how he would be waiting for my husband and I at the end of the aisle with our appetizers and water. Did NOT happen. Only after my DOC had already given us water, before our grand entrance, Tammy came with food. I appreciated the gesture, but it an hour too late. I was really looking forward to that promise! 2nd thing - At the tasting I made it very clear that I do no like food waste. John assured it wouldn't be a problem, and he could definitely pack up at LEAST 2 "plates" for us for after. Well - that clearly did not happen. We had 10 people not show up, so I KNOW there was a lot of left over food. I had been looking forward to the plated left overs at the hotel since we would be hungry. I just hope it wasn't all thrown away since like I said at least 10 meals left. 3rd - not so much a promise just a bad experience. About 8 guests came up to me & told me there was no coffee left by time they got their dessert it was away. UNACCEPTABLE. I clearly asked about this & in writing "through cake service" so to me that means THROUGH THE CAKE SERIVCE - We didn't do traditional cake service, a selfserve pie bar & 1 small cake. Since it was self served the coffee should have been out until everyone served themselves their. Nope. 8 people couldn't get coffee, that's too many in my book. Speaking of the drinks, we were told the water would leave with caterer and if we wanted water to provide for after that we could to end of reception. So I bought a Costco case of water explicitly for after they left. But unfortunately the bar tender was giving it out the whole night. Miscommunication. The bar was a good investment and the bartenders were GREAT! Only complaint was when we rented their bar & told everything would be in poured in cups, which I preferred since that's what I expected, not beer bottles being passed out Also, we paid for the china package totally worth it for aesthetics. Instead of champagne flute, had wine glasses, wish the bartender/serving staff would've let guests know to use them! I hardly saw them being touched, seemed like a waste of money unfortunately. perhaps better for the bartender to pour the wine into those glasses instead of the plastic cups? but that is a miscommunication. Overall- EXCELLENT FOOD, but highly disappointed about "left over" situation, the coffee fiasco, not meeting b&g like told, and difficult/unprofessional at times/communication. I recommend them because of the food & monetary value, just be weary of communication, and if certain things are important to your or your group it might not happen as planned. read more

I recently had my wedding catered by John and amazing wife. They are the nicest people ever! Super accommodating. It was very cold on my wedding day and my grandmothers and babies had to stay on the lodge. When John found out they hadn't eaten yet he immediately brought food and drink for all. The food was delicious and the appetizers were amazing. I'm incredibly happy I chose them to cater my wedding. There are many stories of kindness they had done throughout my wedding but the care they provided for elderly and handicapped guest without question really is a testament to how they run their business. Having amazing food and great people who make it really added to my wedding. Thank you so much! read more

Graystone was the caterer for our wedding over a week ago. They are absolutely amazing! Not only was the food amazing, which is not very common at weddings, but as I was coordinating the vendors Graystone volunteered to help me with whatever they can. Furthermore, though we requested a buffet-style dinner, they not only brought my and my wife's plate to our table, but they also did the same for all our elderly guests. To bring us back to the topic of food, I just want to say, my wife's aunt, who normally hates eating chicken, is determined to hunt the recipe for their lemon chicken. Great food! Outstanding service! Graystone is the best! read more

We chose Graystone Catering because of the many steak options. We were blown away by all the food at the tasting, including the lemon chicken John recommended, and which we ended up deciding on along with the skirt steak. Actually, everything tasted so good, and we couldn't have gone wrong with anything we chose. Everyone at the wedding raved about the food. John was great to work with, so helpful, and very professional. We would definitely recommend and encourage anyone to choose Graystone for any catering needs. read more

My husband and I chose Graystone Catering for our wedding at Pine Rose Cabins and so glad we did. We received many compliments from our guests on how delicious the food was. One of the guest would not stop talking about how much he loved the Jamaican meatball appetizer. John and his team were very professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend him and his team for any catering needs!! read more

I cannot give Graystone catering and event planning enough love! My hubby and I just got married at the Mariena Resort this Saturday the 13th, and I cannot put into words how perfect their team made my wedding day!!! They really went above and beyond to get to know us as a couple, and make everything not only go smoothly, but make it so you (the bride) have little to worry about on your big day. The food is AMAZING, seriously... I highly recommend the chicken.. The coordinators are so friendly and focused on you. You always hear horror stories from brides how something major went wrong during the wedding, and how stressed they were, etc; but absolutely nothing went wrong, and if it did, their team fixed it quickly and without any craziness! Highly, highly recommend this wonderful company to any couple who wants the perfect wedding they've been dreaming about!! read more

Graystone was recommended to us by our wedding venue, Skypark Weddings. The owners invited our immediate wedding party to a tasting at their home and showed us some pictures of their work at other weddings (food, appetizers, and ways they had displayed deserts and appetizers). The tasting was wonderful, a great dinner with choices that almost had us torn between options (it was all so good!). When it came to the wedding reception, they delivered exactly what we had ordered with great service. The food was wonderful, the staff was efficient and friendly. They coordinated well so that my wife and I would have time to eat at our own wedding while our guests were being served. We had a few guests who were vegan, and Graystone catered to our guests needs with no problems. Everyone had a delicious and filling meal, and many guests came up to tell us how much they enjoyed the appetizers during cocktail hour. read more

Thank you Graystone catering! John truly goes above and beyond for his clients. Easy to talk to, quick responses, and very knowledgeable. Food is SO good too! We appreciate all his hard work and would recommend Graystone to anyone!! read more

My wedding was 2 months ago and I'm STILL getting props on how delicious the food was!! Every single compliment we received included how the food was the BEST! In my Mexican culture, people always worry about the food, and I've heard props on how good or bad the food was in every past wedding I've attended, so that was a priority to me, and let me tell you I did NOT go wrong with Graystone Catering!! From that first phone call all the way to my wedding dinner, everything went so perfect!! Not once did I have issues!! John answered every single question I had without me even asking on that first phone call, which was extremely helpful as I have never booked catering before. Then on the tasting day, John treated me and my 2 matron's of honor like royalty!! He even was generous enough to pack leftovers and let me take them home!! My mother-in-law cooks amazing and to hear that she absolutely LOVED the flavor of each entree (I gave her some of the leftovers John had packed for me), was a confirmation to me that this was the way I needed to go!! The day of my wedding, John took care of EVERYTHING!!! And my husband and I felt so honored that it was the John, the owner himself, that came and served us at our table, constantly checking up on us. You would think all this service for some crazy price, right?...WRONG!! I honestly think Graystone Catering is worth MORE than what I paid, from the bottom of my heart. They exceeded all my expectations!!! And for everything it included, I felt like I was stealing!! Thank you, John, and Graystone Catering, for being one of the best and memorable parts of my wedding!! I will forever be grateful for all you did for us, and for going above and beyond. You made my wedding day so perfect!! God Bless You and your catering business!

We spoke with John from Garystone after we posted the review and he was very apologetic for our experience and stated he would take into account our recommendations. We really appreciated that he was quick to respond to our review and email and open to advice. Thank you John for closing the loop. We all the best with your growing company. read more

This was by far the most amazing wedding! We got married at big bear Marina resort. Everyone could not stop talking about how wonderful and delicious the food was and how beautiful everything looked. The food is honestly amazing and was a big hit! All Our guests went to breakfast the next day with us and we're still talking about the food! Tammy was so wonderful to work with and made sure everything went according to plan and everything looked perfect. I could not be more impressed and thankful for the both of them. They took care of everything and it was absolutely perfect. I will definitely be hiring them to cater future events. read more

See all

This caterer gave us samples of good food before the wedding and we were satisfied with the food. At the wedding the food was completely different from what was agreed on in the contract, we payed for chicken breast and beef well done, but at the wedding we got burnt chicken thigh and bloody beef.. the contract said one thing and we got another, the servers weren't professional and didn't give you a warm welcoming feeling. It felt as if the servers were just doing the job to get it over with. This caterer did not offer water in the room where we were eating, we had to get up out of our seats and walk passed a whole mess of chairs and people to get water, and the water dispensers were constantly clogged with fruits. read more

All of our guests raved about the food at our wedding. John and his team created a wonderful dining experience for everyone. He was flexible and accommodating. From start to finish, everything was tasty and perfect. We especially loved the beautiful cheese platter appetizers. John included all of our favorites! The steak medallions and island chicken were a hit. Although we never met our "personal attendant" because we were busy with our guests, they were there making sure we were served and happy. Best of all, we got to enjoy some tasty leftovers in our cabin fridge later that night! Thanks! read more

the food was amazing! The vendors they suggested, all amazing! The planning, execution of the event and the clean-up, all amazing. I could not have planned my daughters Big Bear Marina Resort wedding without this company! read more

I've been meaning to write a review for some time. Graystone catered my wedding at Pine Rose. The food was absolutely perfect. John even made a special dish just for the vegetarians and it was so delicious. I still think about those stuffed bell peppers. I wish they could cater every meal I have. read more

If you are considering a catering company for your wedding, look no further than Graystone Catering. From our first tasting to the wedding day, John was just wonderful to work with. With over 1,000 weddings under this company's belt, we always felt like we were in great and very experienced hands. The food was so good many of our guests went back for seconds. My husband and I were very pleased with their great service and delicious food. We would recommend Graystone Catering to anyone and everyone! read more

We booked Graystone Catering for our Wedding on June 30th 2012. We loved everything! Our guests are still talking about the food! My family and friends were well taken care of thanks to Graystone Catering. I would definitely recommend them. read more

John and Graystone catering made our special day run smoothly and perfectly. Not only that, John was always there for us when we needed him. That's huge because we live in Orange County and could not make it up the mountain as often as we wanted to, so it was reassuring John would answer my calls and emails in a timely matter. The Marina Resort staff were so kind and accommodating. We felt so taken care of and appreciate them all for helping make our day so wonderful and unforgettable!! We just celebrated our 2nd year anniversary in July and are making it a tradition to revisit the gazebo, where we said our "I do's" and take pictures. The location is breath taking and I never want to leave when I revisit. The food and DJ were unreal!! Those are very important aspects of a wedding and they were on point! We also used a photo booth vender John recommended and he was amazing. So sweet and gave us a reasonable package!! The flower shop we used for the wedding that was also recommended from John, we're so sweet and so professional. Our flowers were everything I wanted and then some! They really helped pull my wedding all together and made it complete! Honestly, if you're looking to get married in the mountains, Marina Resort and Graystone Catering is your way to go!!! They know what they're doing and will make your day special and unforgettable!!! I will be posting pictures soon and let them show you what words cannot express!! read more

Great food! Great service! They helped make our company BBQ for our customers a huge success! They will do it again next year.
