I hired Pulcinella for my wedding, approx one year prior to the actual event date and while I…read moreappreciate the initial effort to site check my property for compatibility, the communication and satisfaction ended there. I had tried to get in touch with Kym regarding the pizza menu and certain special requests. After repeated emails and phone calls, plus an extra Yelp inquiry to nudge her, I finally got a response. My planner also reached out several weeks before the wedding with no success. This was a recurring issue. I understand wedding season is busy but my planner and myself were not contacted until 6-7 days prior to my wedding. There were other logistical things to figure out and the communication fell absolutely short. I also requested in multiple emails that I would like to purchase extra cheeseboards/grazing boards to have a more elaborate spread. This was never acknowledged so I had assumed I would be billed later or extra charges on my invoice would cover the request. Nope- they ran out of food incredibly early for my cocktail hour and did not even clear the area. At the actual event, I had 60 people and purchased food for 68 to account for vendors etc. There were 3 small pizza trays on a table and they were being eaten by a single table at a time. Some people did not receive food or waited so long they just gave up and ate meatballs and salad. I acknowledge that the DJ called guests too quickly. Not the catering team's fault. But even when he slowed down and people were fine waiting, it was still an abnormally long wait. There could have been a second table or more pizza trays or something. 3, 10-11" pizzas to be split amongst a table of ten is not reasonable. The slices are thin and people started taking bigger portions of sides cuz there wasn't enough pizza in time. I understand that there was an issue with where the "kitchen" was set up, versus where the food table was located (a 200 ft walk), but there was extra staff to assist. Also- this issue could have been solved much earlier and planned better IF THERE WAS COMMUNICATION. So disappointed. When people actually did get food, they said the pizza was good but I've had good pizza elsewhere and that's where I'll be going for it. The star is for the meatballs which is all I ate as the bride. I was one of the people that gave up on pizza since it took so long. My husband said it was good but he also only got a single piece. Bummer.

Trumpet Vine Catering (TVC) is the best (wedding) catering provider in the SLO / Paso area, and we…read moreare so appreciative of Sara and her team for the amazing job they did at our wedding on November 5th! We had the opportunity to do a tasting pre-contract, which I would highly recommend! Tasting the dishes we were thinking of having for our wedding was a leading factor to securing their services. The top 3 reasons why I would hire TVC for catering any event is: communication, flavor, and experience. Sara is a rockstar and we would not have had such a spectacular wedding if it wasn't for her. She goes out of her way to keep the couple informed, responds almost immediately to any and all questions/requests, and is just a wonderful person to be around! From quoting to executing the onsite catering, she is there every step of the way and knows all the important details. For our wedding we selected the below items: Passed apps: ahi poke tacos, mini arancini balls with tomato bisque, and pulled pork cornbread cakes. Given that we were having an outdoor wedding in November, we wanted to have something warm for our guests. Sara provided the creative idea to mix their fabulous arancini balls with a warm soup. It was a huge hit! Salad: Pear salad fit the fall theme perfectly! Mains: Syrah braised short rib and chicken piccata. Both were delicious (short rib was more popular) and we decided to serve family style instead of plated or buffet. This was a great option for us as our guests were able to converse and pass plates around. Food came out hot, which was a critical care about for us! Sides: Potato leek gratin and charred broccolini. The gratin is one of the best potato dishes I've ever tasted. I seriously wish I had this recipe! If I were to change one item, it would have been to sub in something more popular for the charred broccolini. In addition to the great food, TVC provided pie cutting, a water station, and tableside wine services. The package they offer is perfect for your wedding and they are able to take care of any and all needs! Thank you Sara, chef, and team!

I am so upset because I was extremely excited to book this company for my wedding I had been…read moretalking to the owner since January, came up with an entire menu that I am supposed to try next week (planned a whole trip around coming to try it) had a tasting date set, I wrote her now to confirm the tasting and she tells me they are actually booked for my wedding day and another staff member booked the other wedding and didn't tell her.... Mind you we've been talking for 5 months and you didn't realize this? If I didn't reach out I wouldn't have known. How do you have that bad of communication for something like this to happen?! Completely unprofessional. They totally set me back and wasted my time. Work on your organization and communication! Probably a blessing they aren't doing my wedding!!! PS- Even though there was no contract signed yet you guys should have reached out for me and asked for the deposit to hold the date before completely booking someone else especially with a tasting booked and a menu already written up with the proposal. No one asked for a deposit yet. If someone else was interested you should have let me know and then asked for deposit. it was wrong, regardless.

We used Fire to Fork Catering for the cocktail hour at my daughter's wedding on September 12, 2026,…read morein Los Olivos, and it was a great choice for us. From the minute I began talking with Stacey, she was friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. We did not have a wedding coordinator, so we were handling pretty much everything ourselves. I really didn't know what to expect when hiring a caterer for an event like this, and Stacey made the process easy. She worked through the menu with me, explained how everything would work, answered my questions, and even made the payment process simple by allowing me to send payments through Venmo. The food was plentiful, beautifully presented, and delicious. We had four different appetizers, including taquito cups, bacon-wrapped shrimp with the perfect combination of sweet and a little heat, mushrooms stuffed with chorizo, and carne asada sliders. My daughter, the bride, actually said, "I don't even like mushrooms, but I love these!" That says a lot! They traveled from Santa Maria to our wedding in Los Olivos, brought the appetizers, set everything up beautifully, provided table coverings, and the service was prompt and efficient. One thing I had completely overlooked was providing plates for our guests. That was something I should have taken care of, but in all the craziness of putting together a wedding without a coordinator, I simply didn't think of it. Stacey came to the rescue and kindly gave us a small stack of plates they had with them. It was a small gesture, but at that moment it was incredibly helpful and very much appreciated. If you are planning an event, especially if you are doing much of the coordinating yourself, I would absolutely recommend reaching out to Fire to Fork. Ask questions, discuss exactly what you need, and let them help you through the process. The food was excellent, the service was professional, and everything worked out wonderfully for our daughter's wedding. Thank you, Stacey and Fire to Fork, for helping make such an important day for our family go so smoothly! Our photographer captured all the food tables. I will add those pictures when they arrive!!

Fine Food.....Wrong Venue?…read more This is the first "less than 5 star" review for Fire To Fork. My comments are not quite the same as all the others because those focused on the catering side of the business. My review discusses Fire To Fork as 1 of 3 food providers for a concert at the Presqu'ile Winery on Saturday, August 8th. My wife and I are vegetarians and menus from the 2 food trucks at the winery's event sponsored by the Oasis Senior Center in Orcutt were 100% meat. Fire To Fork was listed as the 3rd provider so I called earlier that day to ask whether the promised "charcuterie board" would be appropriate for vegetarians. I left a message...kind of incomplete since the tape was only 30 seconds...but a very nice woman called back and said "we'll have a huge box with 10 types of cheese plus nuts, fruit and some meat for people who want it". She was super friendly. We got to the concert early and I was one of the first people at the Fire To Fork booth. My wife and I planned to share a "box" so I simply said "everything but the meat". The paper box was the type used for a couple of hot dogs. The guy in charge gave me 3 strawberries, 8 red grapes, 2 balls of caprese cheese with 2 cherry tomatoes, small chunks of another cheese, a few figs and one other dried fruit. A younger guy put 10 crackers in a smaller box. Since the cost was $35.....yes, $35.....I asked for some more cheese - especially since I didn't get any meat. He reluctantly added one ball of caprese. The contents of my "box" were fine, but worth $12...maybe $15. Since some of the money was probably going to the local non-profit, I could see a charge of $20. But $35 was an insult. Everything at the 2 food trucks was $10-15. The food itself was fine, but the portion meager. For similar events in the future where attendees pay for the food rather than one person or organization footing the bill, either lower the price or raise the amount of food provided.
