It is impossible for me to sufficiently explain how wonderful it was to work with Miranda Roy and the entire Lawry's catering team, so just a warning--this will be a lengthy (but glowing) review. You can save yourself a few minutes and just reach out to the Lawry's catering team--you will be impressed and hopefully, your quest for a caterer will come to a happy conclusion! For those that need more reassurance, here is my review: Lawry's catered my outdoor wedding for 180 guests back in August 2016. Food was the number one priority for me (I didn't even look at a venue unless it allowed for outside catering). Finding the right caterer was a very stressful and time-consuming process (slow or no responses, disappointing food options, expensive quotes, etc.)...that is until I reached out to Lawry's. Lawry's is my husband's favorite restaurant, but the restaurant is a little pricey, so it's strictly a "special occasion" place for us. We never thought we could afford to have them cater our MOST special occasion. We did not have a big wedding budget. In fact, while interviewing vendors, I had a wedding planner and another caterer tell me my budget was unrealistic for 180 guests. Luckily we saw online reviews that stated that Lawry's was surprisingly affordable, so we reached out to Miranda and she was able to work with our budget! What amazed us was, compared to the other catering quotes (we reached out to over twenty caterers and eventually got quotes from about a dozen), Lawry's quote offered us the most value for our budget: 1) Best quality of food options, including their prime rib and various seafood options. 2) Highest count of employees working our event (servers, cooks, coordinators, etc.). 3) Lowest glass and barware cost by a huge margin 4) Valuable early booking incentives that saved us a couple hundred dollars 5) If you want to provide your own alcohol--no problem! They can provide bartenders at competitive rates (comparable to what we saw on Craigslist). Also, their servers will help serve drinks during cocktail hour and dinner (this is not something that all caterers are happy to do if you don't go with their alcohol package, which I can understand, so this was one of the ways that Lawry's went above and beyond) 6) You get 10% back in the form of dining credit to use on future visits to the restaurant. 7) You do not need to provide a final headcount until 5 days before the event (no need to worry about last minute cancellations!) We did not hesitate to book with them. The catering coordinator, Miranda, continued to impress us throughout the whole planning process. She proved herself to be incredibly proactive, capable, detail-oriented and hardworking. We also felt that she truly cared about our event. In the months and days leading up to our wedding, I honestly did not once worry about the catering aspect of our event--I had full confidence in the Lawry's team and I could not be more satisfied with how everything turned out: 1) Food was just as delicious as it is in the restaurant (my husband says it was better at our wedding haha). Portions were generous and they were able to accommodate all dietary restrictions. 2) Lawry's had to 'flip' the ceremony site into the reception/dinner site and they were able to do a gorgeous and detailed job within the one hour I allocated for cocktails. 3) It was clear that Miranda communicated all our comments and suggestions from the food tasting to the chef b/c every item turned out EXACTLY as we had hoped it would. 4) Service was phenomenal--guests commented on how friendly, attentive and quick the servers were. The kitchen was also fast in accommodating guests (some guests had forgotten to communicate dietary restrictions to me beforehand or decided to make a last minute change in their meal choice). 5) Guests said that the bartenders were awesome and efficient and that the drinks were delicious! Again, I cannot adequately detail everything that the Lawry's team did for us on our wedding day. We are still getting wonderful feedback from our guests and a few actually THANKED us for giving them their first Lawry's dining experience haha! Thank you Miranda + Team--you guys were truly wonderful to work with. Having you guys as our caterer was one of the best and most memorable things about our wedding. read more

Yes, Lawry's caters! We used Lawry's Catering for our wedding in July 2012, and we couldn't be happier we did! The food was great, just like eating in the restaurant! They brought the huge carving station with them, and carved in front of our guests! They also had all the other little touches with them as well, like the Spinning Salad and Yorkshire pudding (cooked on site!). They handled the 200 people in our wedding with ease! As far as the service, well, I had a TON of guests tell me after the wedding, through email and phone calls that the Lawry's staff was so professional, courteous and helpful. How often do wedding guests talk about the service!?!? They were AMAZING! They took care of all the other vendors as well, and made sure that everyone had enough to eat. They also made sure that all the pregnant guests were given well done cuts as well! (we had a lot of pregnant guests for some reason!) I also want to say, Melissa Navarro is AMAZING! If you look up comments about her, they'll all be positive. And she deserves all the praise that she is given! She made everything so easy for us, and worked with us to personalize the menu to fit into our budget. She is very prompt with email and made sure to answer all our questions quickly. This might seem like a little thing, but we had 10 vendors, and getting a quick reply made our lives so much easier. She's also very very VERY nice! She was a joy to meet with, and put both of us at ease the very first time we met with her. She's just good peeps, and was so easy to talk to! I'd like to think that we not only got a chance to use a really, really good vendor in Lawry's, but we also made a new friend in Melissa! I can go on and on about Melissa and Lawry's catering, but I think I've made it clear that we were blown away by the level of service, and quality of food. If you're thinking about using them, give them a call and meet with Melissa, and we're positive you'll love them! Thanks for everything Melissa! You rock!!! read more

Lawry's did the catering for our wedding two weeks ago at the Vibiana and everything was AMAZING. The staff was prompt, friendly and very professional. Many of our guests have been telling us how great the catering staff was! They've also been telling us that this is by far the best wedding food they've ever had! (I agree!) Working with Melissa Navarro (Catering manager) from the start has been really easy. She's responsive, professional, accommodating, and always has a smile on her face. From the moment we booked Lawry's as our wedding caterer, we knew we were in good hands. Throughout the whole planning process, we made multiple changes to our menu, our rentals, and other miscellaneous things. Anything we asked for, Melissa made it happen.... and more importantly, she made it happen within our budget! For all of our vendor meetings and walk throughs, she was punctual and ready to work. I never worried about the food or the service with Lawry's because I completely trusted Melissa with every detail of our catering. She is truly exceptional at what she does. Our guests had a wonderful experience at our wedding and it's all thanks to the awesome planning and execution by Melissa! Plus, you KNOW the food is always amazing at Lawry's!!! THANK YOU MELISSA & THE REST OF THE LAWRY'S TEAM! read more

See all

Lawry's offsite catering is used by our firm for most every event or function that we have at our Beverly Hills facility. From our yearly Christmas Party to special meetings and events. They are ALWAYS professional in every way, ALWAYS delicious and most importantly, ALWAYS flexible! (as sometimes things just don't hold to a perfect schedule). I highly recommend using Lawry's catering service. Melissa Novarro and her team are spot on in every way! You will not be disappointed! read more

Lawry's tailgate at last weeks USC vs Fresno State game at the LA Coliseum was mostly awesome. The Prime Rib as always was soooooooo good. I do not know what their secret is but they can not be beat. The house specialty creamed corn is like ambrosia. It is hard to stop eating it. The rolls were yummy and the carved turkey quite tasty. Now the only down sides were the fruit, oat desert (?) was weak and while they had 2 food stations they only had 1 beverage walk up. Overall great, we are going back for the ND game even though it is $75- per read more

I had the pleasure of working with Miranda for the UCLA Awards on May 7. Miranda was flexible, positive, and really worked hard to ensure our event ran at a high level. Guests loved the food, highly complemented the service, and had an overall wonderful experience. I really enjoyed knowing I could trust Lawry's to provide a first class experience and look forward to working with them again in the future. read more

We've had Lawry's cater 2 events for us and we would definitely have them back for another. Their service was fantastic and their food was as good as ever....they even brought the metal carving station to our place. I absolutely loved working with Melissa, their off-site catering manager. She's simply the best! read more

Absolutely spectacular service! I had Lawrys at a wedding last week, and they were one of the best caterers I've ever dealt with (and that's saying a lot- I've hired hundreds for events). The menu was custom, pricing fair, wonderfully cheerful staff, the total package! I would and will hire them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend the mini chicken and waffles appetizer- best. appetizer. ever!! Thank you Miranda and the Lawrys staff! read more

Melissa is amazing!! We had Lawrys cater our wedding at a winery and everything was amazing! The food was as good, if not better, than the actual restaurant (which is already amazing). From day one at our tasting to the actual night of the wedding, Melissa was a joy to work with. She always has a smile on her face, is punctual, and very organized. You kind of feel like you're the only wedding she's working on with the amount of personal attention she gives you. She is great at communicating via email and phone and was so helpful with all aspects including being able to beat our third party quotes for bar service and dreaming up a decorative cheese and fruit station. Surprisingly, Lawry's catering prices were very competitive with other quotes we had and was actually cheaper than most. The best part too is that you get Lawry's VIP points on a percent of the price you pay and now we have tons of vouchers to use! We've been back on numerous occassions already and there's always staff there that greet us and remember our wedding, leaving us with a warm feeling. One of the best decisions we made for our big day! Thanks Melissa!!! read more

Ran out of potatoes before we got here now they r almost out of Turkey. Next time I'm ordering sandwiches and getting a case of beer instead of paying $75 for the tailgate party. read more

Excellent food and service! They made our wedding very memorable. We are still getting compliments! Melissa is wonderful to work with!!!

My fiance-now-husband and I partnered with Melissa Case and Miranda Roy at Lawry's Beverly Hills for our wedding. We are absolutely satisfied with the quality and level of service they provided! From beginning to end, they were detailed, timely, and flexible with all our needs. Our initial call was very professional and courteous, and they hand-held us through the process since they've done this what seemed like a hundred times. When we met for the food tasting, they were flexible and open to having us try a variety of different options - undoubtedly our favorite wedding planning event! And on the day of, things could not have gone any smoother. The food quality and service was just like it was at the restaurant, and our guests were more than satisfied. We couldn't have made a better choice than to go with Lawry's for our one-time only wedding, and we highly recommend working with Melissa and Miranda! read more

Lawry's Catering made our Chanukah party perfect. They showed up early, and left my house spotless. The food was incredible. People were coming back for two or even three of the sliders. The staff was not only courteous but very professional. I would recommend them for any event and certainly call them again in the future. read more

We couldn't be happier with the food & service ... it was for my boyfriend's birthday & we had several ideas for our menu going in, as we know the Lawry's 'family' of restaurants quite well AND we needed food that would 'hold' throughout the night. They met all our needs and then some! Our guests gave the food rave reviews, too. We can't thank them enough! read more

I can't say enough good things about Lawry's and Melissa Case and Miranda Roy. When choosing a caterer for our wedding, Lawry's didn't immediately come to mind (since they're primarily known for their prime rib restaurant and we were solely looking for an appetizer caterer). My wife came across their catering business and the inclusivity (marriage equality) and diversity (people of color) they demonstrated within their marketing materials compelled us to give a closer look. We had multiple meetings with Melissa and Miranda and there aren't enough positive adjectives to capture how amazing these two women are. They were vocal about wanting to earn our business, and they walked the walk. Together the four us created a southern menu; we did a couple tastings to make sure every appetizer was exactly what we wanted, and each time they incorporated our feedback with delight and passion. Their patience, perseverance, professionalism, and warm personalities are attributes you don't often find in the service industry anymore. They were so impressive to us throughout the planning process that we decided to hire their staff as servers to work throughout the reception (we had food trucks for dinner service). Before the wedding I said to my fiancé, "I have zero concerns about Lawry's and how the cocktail hour and the rest of the evening will go because I am THAT confident in their abilities, professionalism, and service." And they were amazing! They exceeded our expectations in every way. I could not more highly recommend them for ANY type of event you're hosting. We could not have pulled off our wedding without Lawry's or without Melissa and Miranda or their courteous and professional servers. The quality of the dishes and the incredible service they provided is unmatched. I have very high expectations for professionalism and service, having worked in the service industry for years. You just don't see professionals like Melissa and Miranda anymore. They are truly amazing. And one last thing -- they will work with your budget! Get them while you can. These ladies will be taking LA by storm. read more
