Review of All Purpose Flower/Working with Golzar…read more I rarely write negative reviews, but after our wedding weekend I feel a responsibility to share our experience so other couples can make an informed decision. The issues started weeks before our event. Communication was consistently poor -- we had to repeat ourselves multiple times on things we'd already confirmed, and received unsolicited invoices with zero context or explanation. I was the one who had to initiate conversations about our menu to find out whether it had even been finalized. That's not how a vendor relationship should work leading up to one of the most important weekends of your life. Welcome Party (Night 1): We had made it very clear that our welcome party was a casual gathering. All we needed was a bartender to pour wine at the bar for the hour before the event. Instead, she proposed table service staff -- something we explicitly said we didn't want. After a phone call where she agreed to send a bartender instead, no bartender ever showed up. Wedding Day (Night 2): We had specifically requested a menu change from chicken thigh to chicken breast. That change was never made. The wait staff poured wine for only some tables and then disappeared. In a family-style dinner format, not enough food was dropped at multiple tables -- which is a fundamental failure for that style of service. The alcohol situation was particularly disruptive. They massively underestimated how much was needed for 104 guests, and my father-in-law had to leave our wedding reception to go purchase more. On top of that, two bartenders for 104 guests was completely inadequate -- at points, guests were waiting 15 minutes for a drink. After the event, we heard from our venue that the catering team left the kitchen in an absolute mess and failed to clean up after themselves. Across the board -- communication, execution, staffing, and professionalism -- this was not the experience we were promised or that we paid for. I hope this review helps someone else avoid the stress we dealt with on a weekend that should have been nothing but joyful.

The best decision you can make is hiring Chef Chris!…read more My husband and I live on the east coast and decided to have a fourteen person immediate family only wedding in beautiful Santa Barbara. While planning a wedding across the country is no small feat, we also decided to do it on a 4 month timeline. The thing that mattered most to us was creating an intimate, relaxed, and elevated experience. My husband and I are self proclaimed foodies, so that aspect of the day was very important to us. We were so lucky the Craft House Inn referred us to Chef Chris - from our first conversation I knew he was the perfect fit for our special day. We gave him a very high level idea of what we desired but he somehow knew exactly what we wanted and needed. Everything was so fresh and he has such a deep undertanding of flavors and appreciation for quality ingredients. He was able to curate a thoughtful menu that catered to the adults and the children that were there (I've never seen my nephews and niece eat so much! Even the adults were tempted by the fresh made spaghetti and meatballs!). His expertise went beyond the plate as he was able to curate thoughtful wine pairings--another thing he took off my shoulders. Across the entire menu, each bite was spectacular. When mentioning the stress over not having a cake yet, he had the perfect suggestion, his beautiful fiancé who happens to be an incredible local baker. She did not disappoint! When I think back to that day, I really appreciate his calm, professional, and warm presence that perfectly set the tone for the evening. The food was unforgettable. We feel so honored that he took his time and energy to create such a thoughtful experience on the most important day of our lives.

The Lemon olive oil cake with Rosemary Buttercream was unique and delicious. I look forward to having another meal from Chris and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great meal and an extra special dining experience!

Three meats, a delicious roasted corn salad, tortillas, three salsas, all the condiments including rice and pinto beans. Even the most picky eaters were raving about the food. Many went back for seconds. Jesus and his assistant were top notch. Professional, courteous, and honest. They communicated with me before and during the event to ensure that our guests had the best experience. That meant a lot to me! The cost was reasonable and fair for the exceptional service and quality. Jesus reminded us that Grapevine also prepares many types of cuisines- anything people like! They serve weddings and large events as well. This event was for about 30 people. I highly recommend Grapevine Catering. It was a successful party, largely in part to the quality and service of the cuisine of our Grapevine Chef & team.
