She did a last-minute private funeral reception for 50 guests for me in October, and I gave her total latitude in designing the menu, preparing it, and loading it into the property. We have complete trust in her and her crew. In happier times, she supplied two bartenders and a full kitchen complement as well as serving staff with no excuses, for service for 70. We made sure that everyone got at least a $200 tip for the evening. What more could anyone ask?

Do NOT hire this caterer!!! At first Heather Beaupre will seem nice and helpful, but then she…read morecancels on you right before your big event leaving you high & dry!!! I hired her two weeks before my wedding (expecting around 40 people) we had several seemingly positive discussions talking about details of the celebration and even finalized the menu. Then after sending us the proposal (and us approving it) with less than a week before the wedding Heather sends me this text message out of the blue (the following is an exact copy and paste of what she wrote to me) : "I am just not feeling like I should move forward with this catering job. It's too much pressure for too little time & that is never a good combination. I do not want this job, please don't contact me." I was shocked and completely blindsided since we had only had positive interactions prior to her sending this text. This turned out to be a complete lie because she actually advertises that she only needs three days notice to put an event together for up to 50 people! See below excerpt from an interview she did with Chanel 8 Kolo News Now: "Between shopping for her ingredients and prepping the food, Beaupre-Howell says she needs at least 3 full days to get ready for an event." So basically Heather got a better offer and dropped me like a hot potato and lied about her reasons for canceling, burning a huge bridge in the process and leaving us to scramble less than a week before our wedding. Do not let this happen to you!!! Save yourself stress and heartache and avoid Heather Beaupre at all costs. She is a greedy woman that is only out for herself and doesn't care who she burns in the process!!!

Blend Catering catered a 35-person wedding dinner for us in Truckee, CA this past June, and both…read morethe food and service were absolutely amazing! Everyone at the event was genuinely impressed. Their menu structure is very straightforward--they offer clear standard pricing with a variety of options, as well as optional upgrades. We decided to upgrade to the filet, and it was worth every penny! Ahead of the big day, they hosted a private tasting for us in Reno so we could finalize our selections and fine-tune a few details. On the day of the event, Chef Memo and his team arrived right on time and seamlessly converted our home kitchen into a prep station to finish and plate the dinner, which was served outside. They handled a few last-minute schedule changes with total ease. The entire staff was exceptionally kind, helpful, and attentive throughout the night. Menu Highlights: Appetizers/Stations: The taco station, mini lobster rolls, and sliders were huge crowd favorites. Dessert: The variety of mini desserts was a massive hit with our guests. At the end of the night, they left our kitchen spotless and neatly stacked all the rental items in the garage for pickup. We enthusiastically recommend Blend Catering to anyone looking for a top-tier catering team!

Choosing Blend as our caterer was easily one of the best choices we made for our wedding day!…read moreWorking with Whitney and the Blend team was an absolute pleasure from the very beginning. They were always quick and responsive to answer our questions and the ease of scheduling our tasting was so easy! We loved that the tasting was an option and we both agreed this was easily our favorite part of the planning process. The only difficult aspect was selecting final proteins, sides, and appetizers because they're all SO good that you wish you could choose them all. The catering team on the day of the wedding were so freaking sweet. They were flexible, rolled with the rain, and didn't skip a beat on timing or set-up. It was important to us to attend our cocktail hour (in lieu of photos and missing out on guests), but as an extra benefit - the second I'd finished an appetizer, the Blend team was magically at my side to give me another. Truly, 10/10 service! In an unexpected moment, one of the Blend catering staff had congratulated us on a beautiful wedding and had then said: "They say rain is good luck on your wedding day because it washes away all the hardship that's come before." I've previously heard that 'rain on your wedding day is good luck', yet I'd never heard the second part of the saying or 'why' it's good luck. She couldn't have known our story, but my husband's a Marine and we've been together for 11 years through countless deployments, exercises, and overseas assignments. Her sharing that with us meant so much and it's stuck as one of the profound moments where I felt incredibly present and rooted on that day. Not only that moment, but all of the Blend staff were so kind and present with all our guests. I would see them laughing and joking and our guests could not stop raving about how good the food was!! They also LOVED that there was the option to go back for seconds. Each of the Blend staff at one point had complimented my dress (it was black!) and they all made me feel beautiful and seen in so many ways. As the late night bites were passed around and one of the trays emptied, the Blend girls joined us on the dance floor and it was such an epic blast. On the logistics front, Blend delivered yet again. We had 2 guests with allergies and 2 guests with dietary preferences and coordinating their needs were so easy. We also discovered one of our guests had a tonsillectomy 3 days before our wedding, so we messaged the Blend team to see if they could make any last minute accommodations and again - they delivered! From the food, to the service, to their people - Blend is one of the best choices you can make for your wedding. I can't recommend them, their food, or their staff enough. Our final selection choices: - Appetizers: Korean beef short rib wrap, pork belly skewer with maple bourbon glaze (MY FAVE), and the tuna tostada (my second fave!) - Mains: The gochujang buttermilk fried chicken thighs and New York steak with au poivre sauce - Sides: Mashed potatoes (we LOVED the smashed potatoes during our tasting, but opted for mashed instead to dip the protein in, IYKYK), grilled asparagus. - Salad: Honey crisp salad - Drink station: apple cider, strawberry lemonade, and cucumber water (This was also such a huge hit for our guests that don't drink! They loved having more options than just soda or water.)

The best catering company? YES! But what's even better is the family meals! We typically order the…read moremeals for 4 and have a family of 4. Portions are so generous and there's always leftovers. The flavor combos are so unique but still accessible to our toddlers. The packaging is also very thoughtful. Directions for warming up and even garnishes are included. My toddlers inhaled the chicken stuffed shells and that alone was worth it for me. If you haven't little ones or hungry teens, you need to check out the family meals a few times a week. It saves so much time and is truly made with heart and soul.

That's why this review is a tough one to write. This year I ordered one of their charcuterie boxes, and while the presentation was cute (the salami rose was adorable!), the overall value just didn't match the $22 price tag. The portion size and variety left a lot to be desired, and I honestly walked away feeling a bit underwhelmed. I'm hoping this was just an off experience because I've had such great luck with them in the past. I still love supporting local and know what they're capable of--but for the price, I'd love to see the quality and quantity better reflect the Cherry Bomb standard I've come to expect.

I can't thank her enough for helping to make an amazing party for my husband! I paid for a certain number of people and felt it was a good deal. Minimum is 500$. Note that's My bestie dancing outside the truck getting a second helping as some people didn't show up! Nicole was happy to accommodate her even when it was pretty much wrapped up. Highly recommend for a special event!

I was given a little portable buzzer to alert me when the order was ready. This was awesome so I didn't miss any bingo at The Emerson. When my kitty buzzer went off I got my sandwich perfectly wrapped and accompanied with napkins and cutlery. The lovely lady who runs the truck is so sweet and friendly. She was quick to offer suggestions on sauce pairings. The sandwich was piping hot and it was delicious and flavorful. The meat was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection tender! The flavor profile was balanced and I could taste everything it advertised! The onions were perfect and the cheese was super melty. If you have a chance to enjoy the tasty offerings of High Steaks you will be glad you did!

I was lucky enough to get 10 tickets and 2 free beers for RSVP'ing to the event, but otherwise you can purchase tickets at the ticket booth for as many tastes of chili as you'd like! All the booths set up down the street will give you samples of their chili in little ramekins that are equal to about 4 bites. KEEP YOUR SPOON! There are so many chili booths set up, we weren't able to try them all but it's really fun to see how each one represents themselves and the creativity in their names and style of chili! The beer options range from $4 for domestic, $6 for craft, and some booths offer shots of Fireball for $2 more. You are also welcome to purchase food from vendors selling their own food like tacos, chicken skewers, turkey legs, ice cream, etc. At the end you can leave a vote in the bucket of the person who's chili you think should win for the People's Choice Award chili. If you keep going down the street you can check out antique stores, gift shops, and lots of fun saloon style bars. It's a little over an hour drive from North Tahoe, but it's an enjoyable drive with mountain views pretty much the entire way!
