Harvest Kitchen did a wonderful job catering our wedding. The food was excellent, beautifully plated, and exactly in line with what we had hoped for based on the reference images and menu planning conversations. They delivered a menu that felt elevated while still being broadly appealing to guests. All of the food was well executed and not only looked great but was delicious. The service was excellent throughout the evening as well. Their team was professional, organized, and easy to work with, and they helped the meal feel seamless from start to finish. They coordinated well with the other vendors, like Snake Oil Cocktails, and assured us they would work in lock-step, allowing us to focus on enjoying our time with guests. We were extremely happy with the experience and would enthusiastically recommend Harvest Kitchen! read more

Harvest Kitchen is amazing, the execution on the food was incredible, our wedding guests are still raving about how good everything was. We had a couple of vegans and they were blown away at how good and thoughtful the mushroom entree was. Appetizers and filet mignon, salmon, chicken were superb. Service and attention to detail were equally as outstanding. Thank you Sammy and team! read more

We cannot say enough about how grateful we are to Harvest Kitchen for the incredible food and service they provided for our in-home wedding in April. We had a French country theme, and they created a beautiful four-course meal for our 30 guests. Every plate was artistically presented and adorned with edible flowers -- each dish felt like a work of art. The food and service were absolutely exceptional. For most of the evening, we were hardly even aware of the staff's presence, which speaks to how seamlessly and professionally everything was handled. They staffed the event perfectly, providing attentive yet unobtrusive service throughout the evening. Our vision for the wedding was for it to feel small, intimate, elegant, and deeply special -- a night where our guests truly felt spoiled. With Harvest Kitchen's help, that vision came to life. Our guests were completely wowed, and many commented that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. Working with Rachel was an absolute pleasure. She is truly a master of her craft -- incredibly detail-oriented, organized, and thoughtful -- ensuring that nothing was overlooked. We cannot say enough about the wonderful staff and overall experience. They exceeded every expectation and helped make our wedding day unforgettable. Thank you again for everything!

Harvest Kitchen is the little known secret that we just can't gatekeep! We used Harvest to cater our Palm Springs wedding and can't say enough good things about them. We are still dreaming about our wedding meal, and it's all thanks to Harvest Kitchen. From the very beginning, their team was warm, organized, and incredibly thoughtful, helping us craft a menu that felt true to us and showcased seasonal, fresh ingredients in the most delicious way. Everything felt elevated but not fussy, and it was clear how much care and intention went into every bite. They even made us a custom vintage cookie cake in lieu of a wedding cake- the perfect personal touch! Beyond the food, the service was exceptional. The team was professional, kind, and moved so seamlessly throughout the evening. They stepped up and were truly part of the team even when other vendors fell short. We felt completely taken care of. If you're looking for a caterer that values quality, creativity, and hospitality, Harvest Kitchen is it. They made our day even more special and more delicious than we could've imagined. read more

Would highly recommend Harvest Kitchen for your catering needs. The food was delicious and the service was standout. They were incredibly communicative and helpful when planning our evening. The chef and staff at our event were so attentive, flexible, and professional. If the menu doesn't convince you, knowing your event is in great hands with incredible support should! read more

Harvest Kitchen Catering came highly recommended by our wedding planner at After the Engagement. From the first email, Sammi covered everything for us. She understood our tastes, style, vision for our day, and how important food was to us. Our tasting was such a fun, intimate evening, and the food was delicious. We felt like we were in such great hands with the team. And knowing that they worked so closely with our wedding planner meant we knew the teams would work seamlessly together! The day of the wedding was fantastic! Everything ran like clockwork. The setup was on time and looked amazing. Bobby, our server (and a joy of a human) introduced himself to us and ensured we had everything we needed. The team was so polite and happy and made the ambiance even better! Our guests enjoyed the food and the service; the evening was perfect! I highly recommend hiring Harvest Kitchen. read more

We had Harvest Kitchen cater our 120 person wedding in Palm Springs this past weekend. When we first chose Harvest Kitchen, we did so based on a combination of pricing, reviews, and the thoughtfulness that Samantha displayed during our conversations (there were certain ideas that we had that in retrospect made no sense, and Samantha/Harvest were the only people that actually told us so! In a very kind manner). My husband and I are bi-coastal so we couldn't easily do a tasting before making the decision so we went based on gut + trust of reviews! We are so glad we did! The whole process with Harvest was extremely smooth. The tasting was super helpful in refining our menu, their information request was very straightforward, and on the day of everything went seamlessly. A huge number of guests commented on how good the food was (the ultimate compliment). Would 100% make the same choice with confidence! read more

Harvest Kitchen Catering was one of the vendors at an event I attended back in February. They offered chicken + waffle cones, savory sundaes, and bbq biscuit sliders as part of their menu offerings. I really liked the presentation of their food. The chicken was inside a tiny waffle cone, so it was really cute and fun to eat. The savory sundaes had braised beef, winter root mash, crispy brussels, horseradish cream, and pickled red onion. This dish was very flavorful! It's a bummer I didn't get to try the sliders though. read more

Samantha and the Harvest Kitchen team provided absolutely impeccable food and service at our wedding cocktail hour and reception. Their recommended hors d'œuvres were absolutely on point, and the dinner itself exceeded our already high expectations. We so appreciated their flawlessly realizing our minor adjustments to suit everyone's tastes. When the dishes arrived at our sweetheart table, we were blown away, not only by how delicious and perfectly cooked everything was, but especially by the gorgeous plating and presentations, which were above and beyond. We'd also like to give a special shoutout to Jade. While this was probably just another weekend working a wedding for her, she made us feel like royalty, anticipating our every need. When we arrived late to the cocktail hour ravenous after the ceremony and photos, she had a plate of hot appetizers ready and waiting for us, and discreetly took our cocktail requests right away. At dinner, she was incredibly attentive and readily available. Interfacing with her made us completely forget that Harvest Kitchen was serving up a dinner for 100+. Our wedding planners could not have directed us to a better caterer. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for playing such a big part in making our wedding as magical as it was. read more

If you are looking for a wedding caterer, look no further. Our wedding was on March 14, 2020 and Harvest Kitchen came through with the food! Food was pretty important to us as we've been to so many weddings with typical wedding food and we really wanted the menu to stand out. We tried four different catering companies and knew right away Harvest Kitchen was the one. They use sustainable and local ingrediants and the flavors were amazing!! Their setup also went really well with our decor. Samantha was incredibly helpful through the process. We had a grazing table for cocktail hour and for dinner, we chose a salad, Mediterrnean pasta, golden mash, broccolini with Romesco sauce, braised beef, and herb chicken. Everything was served HOT (so important for weddings) and delicious. Got so many compliments from our guests. Highly recommend! *All photos by Michelle Sobel. Hit her up if you need a photographer! read more

Harvest Kitchen was AAAAMMMMAAAZZZIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!! We were looking for the best vegan/gluten free catering company and hands down found pure perfection and beyond delicious magic for all our guests. Our hope was to have people leave in awe and wonder and remember their meal and the culinary perfection HK created and we succeeded. Everyone at HK made our wedding the best day ever. Much thanks! read more

I cannot say enough positive things about the FAAANTASTIC food and service provided by Harvest Kitchen at my wedding. My guests are *still* talking about how delicious everything was and I got married in October... From our very first email conversation, Samantha was incredibly attentive to our wants. She worked closely with us to create a custom menu that perfectly reflected our tastes, preferences, and budget. On the day of the wedding, the catering staff were simply amazing. They were efficient, professional, and incredibly attentive to our guests. They made sure that everything ran smoothly, and that everyone had plenty to eat and drink throughout the night. The food was absolutely incredible. We had a 3 course family style meal with a salad, two sides, and two proteins. Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Our guests are still talking about the food and some of them even tried to recreate a few dishes around the holidays. Seriously, I cannot recommend Harvest Kitchen enough. Their amazing food and exceptional service made our wedding day truly special. read more

We couldn't be happier to have had Harvest Kitchen cater our 130-person wedding in Palm Springs this past weekend! From start to finish, the team (special shoutout to Samantha and Jordan) were professional and a pleasure to work with. The true MVP moment for us with Harvest Kitchen was after our tasting (which was wonderful as well). We weren't quite able to decide on our vegetarian option. HK put their heads together and created a truly incredible vegan lasagna dish -- which was the best lasagna either of us have ever tasted. And we received so many compliments about how this was the best vegetarian option our guests had ever had at a wedding! Harvest Kitchen worked seamlessly the day-of the wedding and continued their streak with us of being supremely professional and friendly to us and all our guests. Highly recommend! read more

We chose Harvest Kitchen for our wedding and from beginning to end it was a great experience. The food was so good, from the tasting to the wedding day. I think I ate 5 of the tri-tip tostadas. But also, the operation was completely smooth, they did an amazing job preparing and feeding everyone, and navigating restrictions and allergies. Overall, so so happy we went with Harvest, having great, flavorful food and feeding everyone without bottlenecks was super important to us, and they exceeded it. Absolutely worth talking to for your event. read more

We used Harvest Kitchen for our wedding and could not have been happier. The entire process, from choosing a menu and doing our tasting to service on our big day, was everything we hoped for. They also have so many options, including gluten-free and vegan choices, which allowed us to create a perfect menu. So many of our guests commented on how delicious the food was and their team went above and beyond to make our unique vision come to life. The chef even found me during our reception and made sure we loved it all! Top-notch through and through. read more

Harvest Kitchen catered our wedding in May, and the food and experience was incredible. They put a delicious dinner menu together for us (fish and barbacoa tacos, black beans, spanish rice, and broccolini), and the appetizers were incredible too (ceviche, mojo shrimp, chips and guac). It was exactly what we were hoping for, all of our guests loved the food, and having the food truck at our wedding venue was fun and memorable. Samantha was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process; she was very responsive and flexible. We recommend Harvest Kitchen to anyone who is looking for a caterer for their wedding. read more

We used Harvest for our recent wedding and Palm Springs and they were excellent. Samantha has great to work with during the proposal process, menu selection and during our tasting. Jordan was amazing in making sure the setup and execution was great. We even had issues with a venue canceling and they all coordinate with our new venue to make necessary adjustments to the staffing and menu to get the job done. I'd be happy to work with them again read more

Harvest Kitchen is in the regrettable position of taking over the recently departed "Eat at Recess" food truck slot here at Eastgate Mall. Eat at Recess was UTC's top food truck based on price, quality, and long lines. So how was Harvest Kitchen's first day? I ordered the beet burger ( Beet patty, pickled vegetables, vegan herbed dressing (Tartar sauce like), lettuce, and gluten free sourdough bread). First and foremost, this sandwich could be compared to a tea sandwich in size. It's slightly longer than half of a plastic fork. The price however at 8.50 is expensive compared to other trucks that visit this tech campus. Many times, those other trucks include a side too. I love all things beet, so naturally when I saw this offered I jumped at the chance to try it. To me, this was a Vegan Reuben sandwich. The bread ( seemed like Rye, not sourdough), the pickled veg, the sloppiness of the white sauce... I also didn't care for cooked lettuce inside. I would not order this again. I do appreciate the effort in bringing something like this to market, it's just not priced right. Not at this tech campus anyway. I'm curious to read what other reviewers from this location think. It sucks for Harvest that they're replacing a Food Truck Legend. read more

Harvest Kitchen saved me at Lightning In A Bottle this past year. At LIB, food options are relatively limited and meat protein is pretty rare. I was subsisting on protein bars and "pad Thai" kale/kelp salads but I just wanted something heartier throughout the weekend of music, dancing, drinking, yoga & talks. I finally was able to track down Harvest Kitchen next to the Woogie Stage! Ordered their Paleo Bowl (sweet potato hash, kale, veggies, salsa and avocado): I paid extra for grilled chicken and bacon but it was worth it! Paleo usually has a bad rep but Harvest Kitchen knocked it out if the park. Perfect balance of flavors - I don't usually like sweet potato but it was lovely in this bowl as a base. If and when I'm in SD, I'll definitely try to track Harvest Kitchen down! read more

Harvest Kitchen did an amazing job catering at our wedding! We had around 220 guests and Harvest was magnificent the entire process. We began planning about a year in advance and made multiple changes to the menu as we went along; We never had a hiccup and Sam and Jordan were so helpful and wonderful. It's hard to find a caterer that is 1) responsive/ attentive 2) flexible and 3) (most importantly) delicious... Amidst the rainy day that the kitchen had to conduct outdoor cooking in, I never knew as the bride and they treated me so kindly on the day of! They know how to run a show of any caliber and we really were grateful to have their guidance as we prepared for the big day. Their menu is robust and exquisite. You will not be disappointed.Thank you Harvest!! read more

High quality wedding catering within their price tier. I'm happy with how it went.

Harvest Kitchen recently catered my wedding for 100 people at my parent's home. Everyone commented on the food - it was incredible! We had salmon, short rib and vegan Thai curry options, and it blew everyone away. Samantha was great to work with and I can't recommend Harvest Kitchen enough for your catering needs. It was so convenient with their food truck - it easily sat in our driveway, eliminating the need to convert the garage in the kitchen. The entire team of servers were professional. Highly recommend the churros for late night :) Thank you Harvest Kitchen!!! read more

Harvest Kitchen catered our wedding and we couldn't be happier! The food was amazing, the service was exceptional, David and Samantha where a complete pleasure to work with.

So we had the pleasure of these guys at Burgeon' Brewery from their food truck. Possibly the best street Tacos I ever had. Seriously amazing. Then my wife ordered the frys.

Harvest kitchen was our FAVORITE part of our wedding weekend! From the beginning, Samantha was so communicative and we so enjoyed our catering tasting. Fast forward to our wedding weekend - and they blew us away. The food was so incredibly good (the appetizers! wowza) and the food came out so fast and was even warm! They served 150+ people with ease, as well as the staff being extremely accommodating and everyone was insanely sweet. I wish I could get married again so I could them. Absolutely incredible experience - you won't regret it! read more

Harvest Kitchen was amazing! We just had them cater our all VEGAN wedding and they did a fantastic job! The food was of course delicious and we had all our carnivore guests raving! It was so hard to just pick a few options. My favorite was the crispy tofu appetizer and tempeh green curry. The communication throughout our wedding planning process was seamless and they did everything they could to accommodate us quickly, even with some last minute changes. We would definitely recommend them to any of our friends and hope we can use them again in the future! read more

Where do I even begin? if I could give Harvest 10 stars I would absolutely do so. From the moment I inquired, harvest has been so quick with the responsiveness, updated my invoice etc. The food tasting was amazing and an overall great and easy experience. The wedding: We were married in Desert Hot Springs a couple days ago and unfortunately had some rain but Harvest went above and beyond, they did not even budge, they provided not only the best food that have had our guest talking about for days but the service was top notch, they went above and beyond. I want to thank Samantha and Jordan for really hiring an amazing team, I have to say the food was beyond my wildest dreams but the service really tied it up for us. I will be using you and referring you for years to come. Thank you Harvest for making all of our dreams come true. read more

I have no words to properly describe the PERFECTION of Harvest Kitchen's Catering. From the very beginning they were quick to respond, easy to work with, and an absolute dream team. I just got married in Joshua Tree on the HOTTEST day ever, yet our day was still a dream come true because our guests were well fed. The one compliment we have received the most since our wedding day was the the FOOD WAS UNBELIEVBLE. Harvest Kitchen provided our guests with charcuterie cones (an item they created at our request) upon arrival, then tray passed three appetizers, before serving the most amazing meals! Their service was outstanding, they were dressed professionally, and wore the most beautiful smiles!! They continuously checked in with my husband and I to be sure we were enjoying the night, and worked tirelessly until every guest was through with their meal. Of all the choices we made for our wedding day, Harvest Kitchen was the BEST!!!! We love love love you guys! Best, Connor and Olivia Anderson read more

We hired Harvest Kitchen to cater our wedding and they did an incredible job! Having good food was so important to us and our guests couldn't stop gushing about how delicious everything was all night! They offer great variety to select from and impeccable service - Samantha was a joy to work with. We would 100% book them again for an event! read more

Harvest Kitchen Catering was a great choice for our wedding reception caterer. Our tasting experience really blew us away. There were a bunch of tasty options and we left super full and satisfied. We had a mix of vegan and non-vegan guests and our caterers were able to manage those menu options without sacrificing quality. They had vegan staff members who contributed to their menu, so we knew we weren't going to get some drab dishes for the vegan folks. During the reception, the food was delicious, and the apps were in demand. We couldn't decide between two of the appetizers, and these guys also suggested one of their apps for a late-night-snack, which worked out great. read more

They cater! This review is based on them catering a company event on 3/23/15 WOW. they have catering down to a science. They had everything placed and lined up buffet style. They leave you alone so you can do things yourself. They have fresh healthy, tasty things to eat. I am more than impressed. I ate a naked hamburger (no bun) and the burger was cooked and lightly seasoned. So delicious. I also got a little bit of salad, too.. It was delicious mixed greens with a few wonderful baked beets with a light barely there dressing. I couldn't be happier with my delicious light meal -ON location- gotta love a GOOD light lunch. Hard to find these days. To please everyone: choose them! read more

We hired Harvest Kitchen for our January 1st wedding. Let's just say if I could give them 10 stars I would. We had over a hundred guests and had a plated service with a Vegan and Non Vegan option. Service and staff was impeccable, impressive, incredible, outstanding, I could keep going but they handled it in a first class way. Going back 5 months when we first did our tasting and then fast forward to wedding day. They never missed a beat and kept us all on track with their timely and absolutely delicious food and service. I would recommend anybody looking for any event that needs outstanding food to use Harvest Kitchen. read more

Harvest Kitchen is one of my favorite caterers. They have such a fun team to work with that goes above and beyond to make sure your day goes smoothly. They are all so professional and easy to work with which is a huge plus when you're working with a lot of vendors. Their menus are all so delicious. Each app, dish, etc that I have tried has always topped the last one. You can tell they love to add good flavor, great ingredients, and they take their time to create a wonderful menu for your day! I highly recommend Harvest for anyone getting married or having an event. read more

We just had harvest kitchen cater our wedding in Downtown San Diego, and they totally rocked. Samantha was the person I dealt with during all the consultation and planning and she was amazingly helpful, having an answer for every concern we had. The team showed up and everything went as smoothly as anyone could hope. I didn't have to think about anything. They had everything moving like clockwork. And of course the most important thing, the food. The food! So many people at the party came up to me and raved about how good the dinner was. Harvest totally nailed it. Lastly the cost. They were definitely one of the more reasonable options we explored. They werent the cheapest but they were also far from being the most expensive, and every cent was absolutely worth it. Do not hesitate or overlook these guys. They know what they're doing and they're doing it right! read more

Harvest Kitchen catered our wedding at Rimrock Ranch in Pioneertown, CA on 3/16/19 and we loved everything about them! We chose to have 3 appetizers for our cocktail hour: Mini chicken empanadas, fried chicken wrapped in a pancake, and the Farm Fresh board with cheeses, dried fruit, crackers, etc that was not only delicious, but also beautiful. After the appetizers, they provided a salad served family style at the tables, then the food truck opened up for dinner shortly after. Our dinner consisted of 3 different style sliders- chicken, beef/burger, and a beet slider for our vegan guests! We also had street tacos including chicken, carnitas, and a cauliflower taco (also vegan and all tacos are GF, they are very aware of food allergies/sensitivities), which were all delicious. Our sides were Mac n' cheese with baby broccoli and sweet potato chips which were a favorite of many. We chose 2 bite sized desserts which were s'mores bites and a Rosemary shortbread cookie with raspberry lemon curd. I believe there were no desserts left at all! We also chose to have water, coffee, and hot tea stations which really ended everything perfectly as it did get chilly at our venue. The servers also continuously served waters for our guests throughout dinner as well! On top of all of this, the customer service we received was the best I could have imagined. My communication was primarily with Samantha Shrigley who was AMAZING through every step of this process. She is professional, efficient, and flexible; she was willing to go the extra mile for any change or request I had, and had the most positive, friendly demeanor. She had gone on a short vacation at one point, but I was never left out of contact. In fact, the owner David Holtze was the one to remain in contact with me and helped me through a tough decision, and he is truly awesome. We were fortunate enough to meet both Samantha and David at our food tasting at their location in the San Diego area, which was a wonderful experience. We also met the head chef and a couple of the interns they hire from local schools in the area (very cool)! The price was more than reasonable for all of the services we received. Food was one thing we did not want to go cheap on, and I'm so glad we made this choice. We were originally going to go with only a "taco man" style caterer and although that would have been cheaper, we wouldn't have had the experience Harvest Kitchen gave to us and our guests. There were 3 chefs and 6 servers on site. They also provided us produce for our bar last minute for a very good price, too. There are so many more options they provide than what we chose, just contact Sam and she will give you all of the information :) Harvest Kitchen helped make our entire day more amazing than I could have imagined! I will never forget our wedding, but the food and service they provided was most definitely a major highlight. Food makes people happy, but our guests were over the moon!! I am waiting on our pictures from our photographer, so I don't have any of the company on site unfortunately, but I can try to update later. The food truck itself is just so cute and awesome though, we even got a tour inside :) Thank you so much Harvest Kitchen, we will never forget you Jessica read more

We recently used Harvest Kitchen for our 100-guest wedding in Pioneertown. And we couldn't be happier with the experience! While we wanted a lot of variety on our menu, we had a number of guests who were vegetarian/vegan and we didn't want them to go hungry. Harvest Kitchen worked with us on a menu that catered to our guests needs and made the meat-eaters and vegans both very happy. David and Samantha both offered creative solutions for how best to utilize the unique space we were in. They also went the extra mile to ensure they were clear on our layout and all of the special and unique requests we had. Any miscommunications we had in the planning process were addressed in a timely and professional manner so we never felt stressed out working with them. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone who wants a creative and attentive caterer. read more
