Wow wow WOW! I'm a wedding planner and work with tons of vendors and caterers and was blown away by LRE. I worked closely with my couple and Elexis, who was a total super star from the first moment I reached out. We wanted a Cuban menu and after shopping around and doing a few tastings, we knew that LRE could nail the execution of the plantains (so important!) and had a really impressive process throughout. Leading up to the event they were so on top of everything and I really appreciated how easy they made things for my couple and delighted the guests on the event day. On the day of the wedding I threw Elexis a curve ball or two and she was so quick on her feet and smiling throughout any last minuet changes and updates. The crew was professional and quick, and definitely brought a level of fine-dining and expertise that was immediately recognized. They are absolutely top-tier and super polished. I value catering and bar very highly and believe it can make or break a wedding day, and am completely delighted with how on point and perfect everything was. 100% recommend LRE for the biggest day of your life, this is not an area you want to leave to chance or amateurs. 10/10 flawless, thank you LRE and Elexis! read more

We went to a company holiday party thrown at one of the employees' houses. I thought LRE was fine, but nothing to write home about. There were about 40 people and only 3 different hors d'ouevres. Plenty of quantity, but for that many people they should have done 4-5 different items. I don't know what budget constraints they were working on, but still. One of the hd's was exquisite, a bite sized cheese souffle on a paper thin croustade with some sort of tiny apple "tartar" (that's what they called it. I think that was a bit pretentious.) There was a Vietnamese spring roll, which had okay texture, but almost no flavor. I thought it might have had crab in it, but it might have been vegetarian - too bland to tell. The third hd was a flat bread with potatoes and cheese. If you only have three, you shouldn't have 2 that are cheese-centric! The buffet dinner service included roasted veg., salad, steak on skewers and penne pasta. First let me mention the only cutlery available was forks. If everything had actually been "forkable" that would have worked well, since often guest are standing and only have one hand available at these things. Unfortunately the pasta was the only thing easily consumable without being cut up. Roasted vegetables were cooked just the right doneness for me, but the only one that was adequately seasoned was the portabello mushrooms. There were also halved sushi turnips (lovely to look at with their greens still on, but impossible to eat without looking rude, and they badly needed salt.) Red Bells, which again lacked seasoning and cut in very inconsistent sizes - some 1/2" wide, others nearly 2" wide were joined with tiny baby carrots, that were bite-sized enough, but had only their slightly above average native flavor, no added seasoning evident. The salad looked good, butter lettuce, thinly sliced radishes and a very mild tarragon blended vinaigrette. Here too, and most surprisingly since it was a salad, the lettuce leaves were left whole, so one had to either take several bites while keeping the leaf on one's fork, or (what I rudely did most of the time) cramming the large leaves in as is, with extra assists from the fork to get it all in in one bite. The skewers were beef of a not terribly tender cut, but kept rare so they weren't tough. They had good flavor, but were quite chewy, so again, 2 not so good choices - trying to bite off pieces from the skewer (very hard to do successfully) or using a fork to remove the pieces from the skewers and then trying to cut them with one's fork, also not very practical. The pasta had softened leeks and what looked like uncooked baby arugula, but it had zero arugula flavor, so I'm not sure. Again, very underseasoned. We left just as tiny bite-sized desserts were coming out. I tried one of each of the only two varieties, and they were pretty, but I couldn't really tell you what they were. Servers were sweet and very available, but the one serving most of the hd's had a very heavy accent, so I couldn't understand his description very well. They were very attentive and handled some specialty drink requests seamlessly. I saw the chef sneak in and out once or twice, but I never actually saw anything being cooked, so not sure if it was all prepared ahead, or if they had some other place to do the "a la minute" prep. I wouldn't write them off, because they seemed efficient, and I don't know what kinds of challenges they faced with this client, but I wasn't overly impressed either. read more

We hired LRE for our wedding in September, and we couldn't be happier that we had them on our team. Elexis is a ROCKSTAR! We did a tasting, and the team made some adjustments based on our notes. The final results was Amazing! We got tons of compliments on the food. We did 3 stations -- Korean Bao's, Sliders, and Paella. People are still talking about the Paella 2 months later. Everything was setup beautifully which is an added bonus with LRE -- their (Elexis') style is on point, so you don't have to spend any energy worrying if things are going to look good -- they will! Professional, delicious, attention to detail, reasonable in price -- what more could you ask for? read more

LRE is the best! I had a wonderful experience working with them on an event earlier this year. Elexis was so on top of every detail and was a joy to work with. I never had to worry about details being overlooked and always felt confident that the event would go off seamlessly and it did. Thank you to the entire LRE team for being so wonderful and on top of everything. Looking forward to more successful events together! read more

This review is LONG over due! I got married last summer and literally can NOT express how PERFECT LRE was for our event. Elexis was truly the most amazing person we worked with for our wedding. She is so detailed and thorough and did not miss a thing. Where to start!? We planned what most caterers would have called an impossible event. We wanted an outdoor/backyard (pool deck) wedding with around 120-140 people and we wanted food stations to be around the pool deck with cuisines from around the world. Elexis helped us pull it off! We fit everyone and the food was INCREDIBLE! I cant rave enough how perfect our event was. From the very first consultation to the execution of the event everything was absolutely perfect. Look no further for you caterer, they are perfect! read more

Caveat: I did not hire LRE to cater my wedding. In fact, we didn't even make it to the tasting. I wish I didn't have to give stars every time I wrote a review, because I'd prefer not to do anything to their rating. Consider this a PSA and ignore how many stars I gave them. Let me start out by saying that I've heard good things about LRE. They are supposedly really professional and do great work. My experience, however, was not good. I couldn't get past their total disorganization prior to my setting up a tasting. They couldn't get my name, the location, number of people and type of dinner (seated or buffet) right. Every email we exchanged, another thing was screwed up. I kept thinking, "at this point they're trying to earn my business. If they're this disorganized now, what will it be like when I actually fork over my money?" I realized that I didn't want to find out. read more

I might name my first born child Patrick. Or Julie. Or maybe Alan (in hopes of him becoming a great chef). I cannot speak highly enough of LRE. TL,DR: Just hire LRE and they'll take care of it for you. There were three vendors at our wedding that absolutely shined -- and I think LRE took the award for the best vendor at our wedding. They exceeded all of my expectations. And I can't give enough thanks to Patrick, Julie and Alan for making our wedding awesome. We had an odd request for our wedding. We wanted a Filipino inspired brunch including some sort of Lechon. This automatically narrowed our list of caterers from a recommended list of about 20 down to 3 companies. When we had our first tasting we met Julie -- our coordinator. She has a really bright, sweet personality and was really happy to help us at any point throughout the process. My fiance was a huge pain-in-the-butt. Since we both own a business, we know how to ask really hard, annoying questions to see if people have put thought into things. Julie did a great job of answered my fiance's incredibly difficult questions. She helped us pick out our rentals and coordinated with the rental company. All of this went off without a hitch. The cherry on top was when I drove over to LRE a few days before the wedding to drop off alcohol. Julie saw me putting boxes up on a loading dock and immediately ran down to pitch in. It was a small thing -- but it is a story I can tell that was indicative of Julie's personality throughout the entire planning process. At any point, she was 100% ready to roll up her sleeves and dig in. Chef Alan prepared a really creative menu. To be honest - before our tasting I was skeptical that such an interesting menu could be pulled off based on the other proposals we'd received. I was so skeptical that we almost didn't schedule a tasting. I'm so glad that we decided to go ahead with setting up an appointment. If Alan's put together a menu for you -- taste it. Don't listen to your inner food snob saying it's not possible. It is. And he'll create something that's better than you had imagined. The highest compliment I can give Alan is that after the wedding, I had several people walk up to me and say "We normally don't like wedding food, but your food and cake were really tasty." (Our cake was from Branching Out Cakes. Amazing review for Jill coming up soon.) And last, but certainly not least -- Patrick was the highlight of our wedding. On the day of the wedding, there were no issues or snags. Patrick was running the show and had everything under control. A few of my close friends asked if Patrick was an old friend who happened to also be a caterer. And to be honest, it felt that way. Any request I had, he said cool -- we can do that. He took every idea I had and made it better. At the same time he was realistic and able to point out potential flaws in any scenarios and then immediately solve them. You can't even begin to imagine how many caterers told us "well, that can't be done" without providing a solution to the problem. Not the case with Patrick and the folks at LRE. He knew how to catch my eye and signal me to keep things moving. He knew how to subtly pull me aside if he needed something from me. And everything ran like clockwork. The most amazing thing that Patrick did (which I found out later) is that he saw my maid of honor and her boyfriend waiting for an Uber to pick them up outside the reception venue. He offered to drive them from Tiburon to Sausalito. Totally not part of his job, but was indicative of how amazing he was in every way during our wedding. I can't thank the team at LRE enough for an amazing wedding. read more

Living Room Events catered my wedding and not only was the food DELICIOUS, the service was outstanding. About the food: clean, fresh and in-season. I wish they had a restaurant so I could have the hanger steak every night! We also wanted an Asian-inspired, healthy meal, so they even accommodated us with brown rice! About the service: we did not have a "typical" wedding with a bridal party, a tiered wedding cake or the stupid bouquet toss, but Kim, one of the owners always respected my vision and never tried to sell me hers. They were very flexible and even had ideas on how to cut costs (call Bevmo). The best part was the one-stop shopping: they managed all the logistics with the florist (recommended by LRE) as well as the party rental company. And on my big day, I received a 10:00am phone call from Kim herself, telling me everything was on schedule and if she could do anything else from me, I should call. Needless to say, all went as planned and they even packed a little doggy bag (sort of an antipasti platter) for us on the way out. Perfect food and perfect service! read more

I worked with LRE at my last job, when I had to plan a few events for work. Let's say that at my last job I didn't always work with the most easy-going/laid-back people, and that was especially true for the events that LRE catered. LRE was called in for the big VIP events, when you needed everything to be flawless. If it were not for Kim and her team, I'm not sure what I would do. It was as if they finished my thoughts and sentences, and even though it was my job to think of everything, I think the only reason I kept my job was because they thought of things that never occurred to me. They're fantastic. So fantastic, that it was a no brainer that I wanted them to cater my wedding. I'm now working with Cassandra who is unbelievably accessible and friendly. And, so incredibly helpful. Even when I told her that I really wanted LRE to cater my wedding, but I wanted to do my due diligence and get some other quotes (mostly for my fiance's sanity), she was not only very understanding, but extremely helpful. While I checked out other caterers, none in my opinion that compared to LRE's menu or service, Cassandra sent me a huge list of other wedding vendors -- flowers, lighting, cakes, etc. Because, in a previous conversation I had mentioned to her I wasn't sure where to start. She didn't have to do this, but did it anyway. What I will say is that I wish I had not wasted as much time as I did, and signed up with LRE right away. Because, all the caterers that first claimed to cost less per person, eventually gave me quotes for just as much, twice as much, or said, "there's no way I can provide the specialized attention to menu and rentals you need." huh? Wait! I forgot the best part... the food is amazing. So so so good. I know the term "elevated food" is a bit overused on Top Chef, but it's a good way to describe the food at LRE. It's creative, and also familiar. We were invited to a tasting in their on-site kitchen a few months back, and there was not a single dish that did not have me saying "oh wow." I had to behave myself because we were sharing plates with others at the communal table, but I wanted to lick the plate every time. I'm getting married in April 2011. I am sure I'll be updating my review with even more great things to say about them. read more

We couldn't have been happier with our experience with LRE and our event planner, Elexis. After signing with LRE, there were so many moments in the planning process that we felt grateful we went with them. We ultimately chose LRE for three main reasons: price, quality, and comfort: (1) Price - they were neither the cheapest nor the most expensive vendor we considered, but Elexis was very considerate of our budget from the outset, and found the perfect way to adjust costs every step of the way. We found some other vendors' pricing to be opaque, but Elexis was totally upfront about costs. At the end, we felt the price was very fair. (2) Quality - From our initial phone conversation, we were impressed with Elexis's professionalism and immediately apparent expertise, especially when she asked about things we hadn't even considered. She delivered the initial proposal in about one week, and it was easily the most thorough one we'd received, with a full breakdown of all fees, and it also included a full rental guide that indicated to us that Elexis understood the aesthetic we were seeking. Our tasting experience was also excellent--LRE prepared a full spread of 9 dishes for us to try (which they also packed up for us to go, since there was so much), plus our selected cocktails, and laid out a sample tablescape with the rentals we were thinking. Since it'd been difficult up to that point to conceptualize how all the different parts would come together on our wedding day, the tasting convinced us that LRE could help us pull off everything we wanted. The food itself was so delicious, as confirmed by our guests. (3) Comfort - This was a BIG reason we were so happy with LRE. We didn't realize at the outset that a caterer can function as a quasi-wedding planner, but Elexis essentially became this for us. She helped us with our bar set-up, our outdoor reception area, renting drapes and overhead lighting, and even brought us champagne during the reception for our cake-cutting. If there was anything we needed, Elexis could get it. She also happened to have worked previously at our venue (Fort Mason Center Gallery 308) and was very familiar with a previous wedding there that had inspired us to go with the venue, so we felt that we found the perfect caterer in all of San Francisco. When we were making our decision, we knew we could trust LRE and Elexis to get it done for us, and this was absolutely one of the best choices we made during wedding planning. read more

Hands down the best caterers I've worked with - very creative, not pretentious, some of the tastiest dishes I've had, whether at a restaurant or at a catered event. Meats from these guys seem especially good; their chef must know some secrets of marinade or something, because every meat dish was unbelievably tender and delectable... but they also did a few good vegeterian plates for the herbivores in our company... later edit: just read Sara O's review, or non-review -- what's with that? Sounds like somebody had a little wedding-related uptightness going on, maybe? read more

I can't say enough about how pleased we were with Living Room Events' flawless work for our wedding. Instead I'll offer some highlights... - Did you know outdoor musicians need you to provide umbrellas? We sure didn't. Luckily LRE is like a Swiss Army wedding knife. They rolled with our last-minute changes & were able to adjust on short notice. In the hectic weeks before our wedding their professionalism was godsend. - I knew LRE had food and service dialed in. But arriving day-of at our venue I discovered they're an execution *machine*. Countless moving parts were expertly handling every detail. It was incredibly reassuring when I confirmed there was *nothing* they needed from me, & I was free to welcome arriving family. Meanwhile there were pitchers of ice water nearby for us all to enjoy -- yet another LRE touch which we hadn't arranged but they thoughtfully provided. - We had a special appetizer with sentimental value. (Yes we're strange that way.) But of course the Bride & Groom are too busy to enjoy appetizers....unless their brilliant caterers set aside a plate brought specially for them to enjoy. - Halfway through dinner, a big foodie guest (& gourmet dinner party host) clawed his way toward us to ask "Where did this incredible food come from?" We weren't surprised he noticed. But it was good to know, after so many reminders that our wedding was in good hands, that our guests were feeling the love as well. My wife adds "We never had to worry for one second. I don't know how you'd ask for better." Without question, choosing Living Room Events was my second-best wedding-related decision. read more

We went with LRE as our wedding caterer in May and they exceeded all our expectations. When we met them for the first time for a tasting the food did all the talking. Everything they prepared for us was top of the line in terms of quality, seasonal freshness and creative presentation and flavors. Kim & Douglas were very easy to work with and helped up create a wonderful menu for the cocktail reception and dinner that included delicious hors d'oeuvres including Yellowin Tuna with Picholine Olives and Herb & Taleggio Arancinis with beef shortrib. For the first course we had their famous "green goddess" the best of california's local, seasonal farm vegetables served with our version of the classic avocado, herb, and anchovy dressing. For the main course we had Arctic Char a la plancha and Grilled Bavette Steaks with almond, bread & dried chile sauce accompanied by Thyme roasted Heirloom Potatoes with aioli and Hardwood grilled spring vegetables. We opted for buffet serving and when it was all said and done there were no leftovers. The service was outstanding and the guests were raving about the food. We wanted the dinner and reception to be the centerpiece of our wedding and LRE knocked it out of the park to make it all happen! If you are looking for a caterer with outstanding food and service at a reasonable rate, go schedule a tasting with LRE today! read more

Living Room Events comes through when you need them to! Ever have an event where your guest list doubles and your budget decreases? I have. Last weekend. And you know who pulled it off perfectly? Kim at LRE - I think she might be an angel. Not only was our food delish, but every last detail was handled... I wish I had known about LRE when I was planning my wedding. I guarantee I will be using them again. read more

We hired them to cater our wedding at the end of March 2007 and we can't praise them enough. The attention to detail, the professional additude, the quality of the food were all amazing. Many of our guests, who by in large are big foodies, asked who did our catering because they were so amazed. The people at Living Room were even smart enough to tell us that some of our ideas just couldn't translate well to our style our service, but worked with us to keep true to the vision we had and to keep to our budget . Everything was on-time, elegantly presented, hot and fresh. If you want to have a truly easy catering experience with a emphasis on local, seasonal and organic food with really nice, talented people, then Living Room Events is your caterer. PS. at no time did we ever find them disorganized, but only more than helpful. read more

Have you ever attended a 300-400 person seated dinner and actually had good , hot, timely food? I did last night, at a work event catered by Living Room Events. The sea bass was amazing, baked in parchment w/ fresh herbs, so moist and flavorful and HOT. My wine and water glasses were never empty, the apps , salad and lemon mousse dessert all were excellent as well. read more

LRE just catered our wedding at the Flood Mansion on September 10th, 2016 and they did a WONDERFUL JOB. I reached out to them after seeing them on the approved caterer's list for the Flood and from the start they were responsive, helpful, and personable. I originally worked with Julie (left midway through the process for maternity leave) and she was fantastic. We started with a short phone call, she asked us what our favorite restaurants were and what sort of food we liked, and from there she produced the initial proposal. Their proposals are outlined extremely well, easy to follow, and very thorough. We had our tasting not long after that at LRE's offices in the Dogpatch. It was at our tasting we were introduced to Ally who took the reins over from Julie who was very pregnant at that point. The tasting was awesome, the chef came out and explained each dish to us personally. The food seriously ROCKS. It is as quality as most restaurants we go to in SF and my wife and I are huge foodies. Top notch stuff. Ally did a wonderful job keeping up with our multiple requests for revisions to our quote, additions/subtractions to our rental order, etc. She even met my wife at the linen place to help her pick out the right linens for the occasion. Ally is a great communicator - direct and willing to lend her opinion when necessary. LRE really shined on the day of the wedding. I got to the venue around 1:30 PM and there was an army of folks working on setting up. The place looked gorgeous. The place settings exceeded our expectations. The staff was incredible friendly and professional. The food was out of this world. I thought the quality might be slightly less when cooking for 170 people rather then just two people at the initial tasting, but I can honestly say it was every bit as good. Ally, Julie, and everyone at LRE was a breeze to work with and we are SUPER HAPPY we chose them as our caterers. Fantastic effort all around and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a top notch caterer for their wedding or event. read more

We've worked with LRE twice and they have always been a pleasure to work with. Warm, friendly service, professional execution, and exceptional creativity make for great experiences... FYI, their sake braised beef is righteous! read more

This review is for Ally Grubb who did an outstanding job catering our wedding at The Pearl. From the beginning, we were clear about our intentions to keep a tight budget. We knew next to nothing about planning a wedding, and Ally went above and beyond her catering duties to ensure that we felt taken care of. We called her our "unofficial wedding planner," because we constantly asked her questions about design, rentals and other logistics. As for the catering, Ally runs a tight ship and the day of the wedding was a total breeze. All of our guests LOVED our San Francisco inspired, family style meal. Most of our dishes were farm-to-table, vegan friendly options, but the short ribs with cheesy polenta stole the show. :) Thank you, Ally and LRE, for helping make our wedding the best day of our lives! read more

I would give LRE, and specifically Christina Milne, ten stars if I could. They were EXCEPTIONAL, and the food, project management by Christina, and effort put in by the entire staff was duly noted - not only from me (who's tough to impress!) but from my now husband and every single one of our guests. I cannot rave enough about the food: all of our guests said it was the highlight and the best wedding food they've ever had - and coming from a crowd of folks from New York, Boston, LA, and Chicago who know fine dining, that is not said lightly. Christina was involved with my wedding planning from day one, and she was so easy to work with; she really doesn't miss a beat. I'm a project manager myself, and I told my husband following our first LRE meeting that I'd totally hire her! She's amiable, organized, efficient and knows great food. I wasn't at all impressed with my wedding coordinator - if I could go back, I wouldn't have paid the money and simply relied on LRE and Christina. I had my wedding at the Film Centre and they made the room look beautiful - and really had the very best recommendations when it came to table layout, linens, passed apps etc. I'd like to reiterate that I don't typically give glowing reviews and am a bit of a pain in the ass - but I cannot say ENOUGH GOOD THINGS about LRE. You won't be disappointed if you hire them. read more

I visited this place as a wedding guest and I was really surprised about the food and service. Everything was done at high level!

In January, I hosted a reception for about 60 people during a recent business conference in San Francisco. LRE provided the event planning services and the catering - in short, everything they did was simply outstanding. The event was a tremendous success; the food, service, event production, and event-planning and guidance throughout the process both were all impeccable. Julie Hess was our event planner, and she did an amazing job. I cannot say enough positive things about her and LRE. It was easy, efficient, and turned out exactly how I wanted. I got a lot of personal attention from the LRE team, and they really listened to what I envisioned and customized my event to that vision. Our guests were very pleased - it was a great all around. Julie took the time to understand my event and what I wanted. She completely "got" the feel, the look, and the type of event I wanted. Julie helped me find a perfect location, worked with us to make sure we designed the event and set up the space with appropriate furniture and rentals in a way that flowed nicely. For food, Julie and her team constructed a well-balanced menu of passed hors d'oeuvres, interesting and cool food stations, and dessert. The food was delicious - it got rave reviews. The servers were very professional and did a great job. Everything went off without a hitch. This was the second year in a row we used Julie and LRE for this event, and we will 100% look forward to working with them again next year! read more

I so wish that I could give LRE more than 5 stars. They deserve all of them! We were married just over a month ago and LRE was phenomenal. We pretty much knew we would work with LRE the second we tasted their fall-off-the-bone short ribs. AMAZING. Their black-cod, vegetarian tagine, drinks and appetizers were also phenomenal. One of our guests actually ordered seconds at dinner. And almost 6 weeks later, our guests are still telling us that it was one of the best meals they've ever had. Not the best wedding food. The best meal. Kim and her team were a pleasure to work with. They are flexible, listened to what we wanted and executed it all perfectly. Kim has fantastic taste and is a great resource to run ideas by and figure out set-up logistics. She and her team also took care of ordering all of rentals, which may not sound like a big deal, but after talking to friends who did that on their own, I know it could have been a nightmare. Service the day of was fantastic. The staff was warm, professional and friendly. We loved our wedding and know that in a large part LRE is to thank. If only "thank you" felt sufficient.... read more

LRE catered our wedding and did a superb job. Their food is great. I found it in that perfect middle ground of really wonderful quality without trying to be something fancier than it needs to be. Their execution was rock solid. We opted for family style service which we felt was more social than a buffet. It can be tricky to get portions right and they pulled it off perfectly. They always had sensible answers to all the overly detailed questions I asked. Everyone I've spoken to since the wedding has raved about the quality of the food. It was a joy to work with them and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. read more

We used LRE as our caterer for our wedding and they were one of the best, most professional vendors we worked with. We really felt like they helped us stay on top of deadlines and they coordinated with our other vendors for us. They were extremely clear about details, asked questions and communicated by phone and email is a very structured way, and were a pleasant group to be involved with. We strongly feel their organization and delicious food made our wedding day such a fun success. We considered a few other local caterers and ultimately our deicision was made because LRE was so on top of the details and helped us achieve all our goals. They eliminated much of the stress and worry. read more

Living Room Events catered our wedding, and we couldn't possibly be happier! From menu selection, through planning, to execution, LRE catering shined. Everyone at LRE was so helpful in helping us create a unique menu that fit our personal tastes, and that would satisfy all of our guests desires. I cannot tell you how many people RAVED about the food at our wedding. "This is the best food I've ever had at a wedding," was a common refrain throughout the night. The only regrets I have are that I was so busy at the wedding, that I never got a chance to taste the mini smores at the dessert tasting table - but I heard they were delicious. Book em! :) read more

Everyone at LRE is a class act. Hosted a corporate event at LUX-SF (http://www.yelp.com/biz/lux-sf-san-francisco) and LRE turned a wide open space in a modern lounge with the appropriate furniture, lighting and decor. Our event coordinator was extremely helpful in helping create the space we wanted to facilitate networking in a comfortable environment. The food was phenomenal. LRE approached the menu with a local flavors perspective, adding in what out-of-towners would especially enjoy from SF gourmet fare. The staff was more than helpful and checked in and assisted me with whatever needed to be done that day. For a person with a limit event staff (myself and perhaps 1 other) I truly appreciate the hands-on approach of LRE. read more

LRE IS THE BEST! We hired them to cater our wedding last month. We had wonderful Julie help execute the event. From the beginning they were responsive and helped us along the whole way. The food is top notch. They helped customize the menu and anything you wanted, they could do and did it so gracefully. From the tastings through the wedding the food and service were such high quality. The team is gracious and talented at what they do. I highly recommend LRE for any event- you won't be disappointed. Thanks so much for making our day wonderful! read more

LRE catered our wedding on Feb. 19, 2017 and they were beyond amazing. Ally Grubb ran the show, and in addition to being warm and fun, she did an incredible job. Our tasting last fall was at the LRE kitchen. We included our moms, and they had an amazing time. Ally set up the tasting to mimic our wedding setting, including using some of the actual rentals. The food and drinks were incredible. It was fun, well-run, thoughtful, and made us excited for the big event! We later had another tasting at an affiliated bar to choose our cocktails. Again, it was efficient and fun! We loved all the drinks we were served. All of the LRE staff we worked with and met were incredibly friendly and clearly professional and experienced. At our wedding, catering went off seamlessly. We had to bring everything into our venue, including building out a catering tent in the parking lot. The staff was professional and friendly. Everything was beautiful, timely, and delicious. In the less than two weeks since the wedding, we have received countless emails, texts and calls from friends and family absolutely raving about the food. In particular, a group of friends who came in for the wedding weekend from New York, and made it a point to eat at many of the world-renowned restaurants in San Francisco and Napa during their trip, told us that it was the best food they had in California. Another friend, a vegetarian, reached out specifically to thank us, and tell us that the vegetarian options at our wedding were the best he'd ever had at a wedding, and some of the best food he's had in a very long time period. I'm overwhelmed by the number of people that have reached out to compliment the food at our wedding! Thank you to Ally and the entire LRE staff for the fun experience, beautiful and professional presentation, and most of all, delicious food! read more

LRE catered both my kid's b'nei mitzvot events and did a wonderful job both times! Last weekend, LRE's Christina Milne and her team did a fantastic job at my daughter's bat mitzvah party at the Observation Post in the Presidio! The venue was beautifully decorated in every detail, the food was really delicious and nicely presented, and the service was outstanding! Christina is extremely professional and personable. I truly enjoyed working with her throughout the process and we couldn't be happier with the event! EXCELLENT JOB! read more

I was just looking at our wedding photos and was reminded of what a glorious reception it was. Yelp wasn't on "my radar back then, but since it is now, I have to give 5 big stars to LR Events. They turned a blah room into the most romantic, and ethereal venue. The food was top of the line. Fresh, colorful and delicious. They were a joy to work with. Always professional and ready to please. Highly recommend. read more
