Sue did a really great job. She listened to all of our requests, no matter how crazy they were, and she always had a can-do attitude! She was so patient about all of my questions and constant menu revisions, had great ideas about how to make a wedding for 120 people work in a small, split-level yard, and handled all of the rentals, which was a huge load off my back. The food was all really beautifully presented - not just in trays, but on beautiful platters, and was delicious. Everyone really loved everything - all of the feedback we got from our guests (some of whom have catering experience) was positive. We just wished there was more of it so we could have late night left-overs! ;)

Words cannot describe about how happy i was with Napa Valley Catering. I worked with Sue Catanese and she was soooo helpful and responsive and accommodating. A total plus for this originally calm and organized but then frantic and stressed out bride! The food tasting was absolutely wonderful. We met with 4 different caterers and while all were great and had their pluses, NPV stood out the best. Great food, great pairings, and really reasonable prices. Every single dish we tried was amazing. It was hard to narrow down my choices for my 2 entrees and 4 appetizers. We did the tasting at our wedding venue, the Jacuzzi Family Vineyards, which was cool because we got to experience how it would flow. Sue was very accommodating to my requests, such as food presentation, additional appetizer options, my mini donut machine, adjusting the rental order, and moving the actual rental items around during the wedding (like our cocktail tables from the cocktail location to the dancing location so that it can be reused and i did not have to rent more/extra). Little things like this made it extra special. Communication was key and she was very responsive to all my emails and changes. She even thought of the little things and prepared sparkling cider and juice boxes for the kids which they were very grateful for! The wedding consisted of 60 guests total. The food was fresh, moist, delicious, and as good as i remembered during our tasting. A lot of my guests complemented us on the food, they enjoyed it all. Food timing was great, and the dishes were served warmed. Thank you Napa Valley Catering for all your hard work! You worked really well with the wedding team i put together (Wedding Planner, Rental Company, Venue, DJ etc), and the event would not have been successful without all of you guys. Tasting was in March 2015, wedding was in August 2015.

Napa Valley Catering, they are just so amazing! They catered my wedding on Treasure Island. Suzanne Cantanese and her crew did everything. I mean she handled everything from making appoints for rentals; coordinate with her staff and rental company for the decor; suggested serving amount for guests, serving time for food and setup to make it more roomier. I'm at lost for words to describe the knowledge she has. Sue is very knowledgeable when it came to Weddings. I highly recommend working with her for any of your events. Her and her staff took good care of us on our wedding day; she made sure we had enough food and drinks, yes even seconds. Cleaning was easy; her staff also took care of that. The food was very delicious and went beyond my expectations. All the food that Sue recommended was scrumptious. Most of my friends thought the food was going to be flavorless since it was "buffet" but after my wedding, they couldn't believe how incredible the food was. The Chef did a great job! They were more shocked to find out that Napa Valley Catering price was very, very reasonable and that they offered a free wedding cake. Sue and her staff were very professional and courteous to my guest. They made sure all the needs of my guest were taking care of. I would highly recommend Napa Valley Catering to all my friends whether if it for wedding, birthdays, or other occasions.

A big thumb up! NVC gave us a prefect wedding and we are so glad that we insist our choice on NVC. All our guests complement the dishes are beautiful, and the chocolate brownie was divine! The cocktail session dishes has a romantic presentation, which melt my heart. Before the wedding we were worried as NVC was not on the venue vendor list, however during testing we have good chat with the chief and the manager. They sound very experienced and provide useful feedback. On the day, the crews are very professional and friendly. They eyes on each guests need, made guest feeling chill and happy during the whole event. Dishes serving is smooth where my husband and I were carefree and enjoy the wedding. Thank you NVC, you made my wedding perfect:) I would highly recommend Napa Valley Catering to couple who seeking a beautiful and private wedding party.

We chose Napa Valley Custom Events from a list of wedding planners provided to us by a resort. We…read morerealized that Sharon did not have the event planning experience we were seeking, but we were so far into the process, it was too late to select someone else. She does offer a list of vendors, but if you are seeking more customized event planning, you will have to do a little more research on your own. Her florist, Michelle is great and her baker, Ora-Beth is terrific, but her tuxedo recommendation was sub-par. We selected our own photographer, videographer, make-up professionals and hairstylists. If you are willing to do a little or a lot of homework, then Sharon may be your person. Otherwise, there may be better options for the money and headaches.

Who can you rely on for help? We experienced all of these thoughts and feelings when we started to plan our own wedding. To add to our complexity, it was a destination wedding on the other side of the country. We knew we had to hire a wedding planner and there was no shortage of options in the Napa and Sonoma valley. We had a few calls with different planners, yet the minute we hung up the phone with Sharon Burns of Napa Valley Custom Events, we knew it was a done deal. We called her back within minutes and basically proposed to her to be our planner! It was a decision that felt so right; it proved to be the best decision of our entire wedding planning process. Sharon's experience, expertise and outstanding reviews all speak for themselves. She knows the business. She knows all the right people. She is well respected in the California wine region. She demands excellence from all those she works with. She has the ability to know when to fully support your wants and desires, while also adding in a dose of reality to your wedding dreams. As a gay couple, one may think we posses a level of expertise on design, flowers and fashion. Sharon quickly found out this was far from reality. She filled in all of the spots where we were "weak" and supported or molded all the thoughts and wants we had in areas that were our non-negotiables. She helped us build, manage and stick to our budget throughout the 13 months we worked together leading to our wedding day. She maintained our vendor contracts, worked hard in negotiating hotel wedding blocks and even managed most payments throughout the whole process. So many of the stresses and mundane tasks of wedding planning and execution weren't even on our radar as Sharon took care of them all. We were already floored by all of her work done leading up to our wedding; then THE DAY came. Sharon delivered even more then we could have imagined! She was at our venue for well over 13 hours preparing, organizing, leading and even calming us throughout the event. We worried about nothing and got to enjoy everything. She ensured our whole wedding party was in place when they needed to be, our families were calm and relaxed, and, of course, that we were both smiling and enjoying every aspect of our day. Sharon even made sure that we were eating and staying hydrated throughout the most memorable day of our lives. The day was simply perfect! So much of that joy has to do with Sharon Burns and Napa Valley Custom Events. We cannot speak highly enough about her; words do not do justice to the thanks she deserves. Thank you Sharon, you knocked it out of the park!

Balloons are just one piece of the overall execution Mary can do! We've worked now with Mary for a few personal life events from baby shower, to birthday, to now a recent family retirement party. Mary understands the vision and importance of each and every special moment, and offers valuable suggestions and insight for your special day. She's a gem in the industry, and we're so happy our paths crossed because her work is consistently amazing. Mary is innovative, talented at her craft, and understands what each and every event needs in order to not only be successful, but flow with ease. The additional touches are what sets her apart from others. For example, we didn't have picture frames but had several pictures printed for a recent retirement party for my dad..she used corks to prop the pictures up table-side and that small and unique touch was such a conversation starter during speeches/dinner with our party guests, and added such a cool element to the overall tablescape. (My dad was in the wine industry) Looking forward to future kiddo parties with Mary!

Absolute Perfection -- Beyond Anything I Could've Imagined!…read moreI wish I could give 10 stars. I cannot say enough incredible things about this company and about Ashley. I've worked with several event and décor vendors before, and while many were great, none have ever come close to her level of creativity, professionalism, and excellence. Ashley is a true creative genius. She brought my vision for my engagement party to life and elevated it far beyond what I imagined. The décor was breathtaking! Every detail was thoughtful and flawless, and our guests were blown away. I've now used her multiple times in the past year, and every single experience has been above and beyond. I've recommended her to friends and family because I genuinely only trust their events in her hands . That's how exceptional her work is. She also accommodated my last-minute requests with her complete grace and enthusiasm, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. It truly felt like she cared about my event as much as I did. I will never use another décor service again. If you want someone who exceeds expectations, delivers stunning results, and treats your event with the highest level of care, book Ashley. She's simply the best.

We had ordered: entrance signage and balloons out front of the venue, five balloon bunches as table toppers, a large gold ring w/ balloons and a cream lounge chair, I even ordered tablecloths for the dining tables from Erika. The balloon gold ring back drop (for the photo ops) was SO adorable, everyone loved it. The table balloon bunches were perfect on the dining tables and the ribbons too, on the bunches were beautiful, many strings of ribbon and bows. It was beyond perfection and made the room so adorable. Erika and Suzy also came back after the party was over and gathered their items and helped tear down the balloons, which I really appreciated. The two ladies go above and beyond. If you are planning a party and are even thinking of decor ideas, reach out to Erika.

There are many high quality wedding planners for Napa Valley, however, if you are looking for one…read morethat conducts business with integrity, I would not recommend Angela N. of Lulu Events and here is why... We signed Angela as our planner in May 2010 to help us with our Napa Valley destination wedding in October 2010. As we were planning our wedding from Asia and had less than 5 months til the big day, we needed a planner who was available and flexible to meet our demanding schedules. She claimed to be the "BEST PLANNER IN NAPA", provided us with "great" references, and assured us that she was very experienced in working with overseas clientele, so we paid our 50% of the fee to go ahead with Angela. (Note, she also emailed us that another party wanted to sign with her for an October 2010 event and given she has a quota of events she can do, we felt some time pressure... though, it was still our fault we didn't spend enough time to look around more thoroughly). Unfortunately, shortly after signing the contract we realized Angela was not right for us. We found out early on that her schedule was not very flexible to our needs and she was at times even unaware of the drastic time zone differences. Apart from canceling & re-scheduling several of our conference calls, she was unable to meet us for two separate in person appointments that we had flown in for from Asia. The first time was a brief business visit to the Bay Area, but given the short notice of our travel itinerary and not being her clients yet, we gave her the benefit of the doubt. But she was unavailable again when we planned to do another week long visit to the Bay Area/Napa to do our wedding site check and by that time, she was our planner. Maybe she was stretched too thin, or we were too far away, or we were not considered a big budget wedding, or that she often flies back and forth between Napa and southern California...but nonetheless something was wrong. Within the first week of signing on, Angela was out of pocket for the first few days, then she emailed to reschedule our conference calls that week and by the end of the week, we were told she would not be able to accommodate us when we were in town for our site check. With the distance and impending time crunch until the wedding, it was at that moment that we realized this was not going to work out and that Angela would not be able to provide the service we needed. We explained this to her over the phone and reiterated our concerns over email before asking if we could receive our money back or be billed for the work she had already done so that we could mutually cancel the contract. We thought this was a reasonable request given that only a few hours of work had been done so far and that our schedules just could not match hers. However, she was surprised at our request and refused to not only not provide the requested refund, but also stopped returning our calls and emails to work out an amicable solution. In the end, we were able to find a different wedding planner and had an incredible wedding. However, we are deeply disappointed that Angela seemed more focused on her bottom line than caring about the wedding couples who have been saving and working so hard for their special day...

I checked their Facebook to get their location today and took a day trip from Dublin up to Napa. My girlfriend got the Wood Oven Mozzarella Chicken Sandwich. It came on a really good fresh roll (I believe a french roll). The mozzarella was fresh and the chicken was juicy and succulent. It was outstanding! I got the Curried Chicken and Vegetable Sandwich. The chicken curry was perfectly spiced, and again, everything was freshly bought and made. The pomegranate-nectarine chutney on top went perfectly with the sandwich. It's the best sandwich I've had in a long time. Both sandwiches came with a great arugula salad tossed in a white wine dressing. I talked with the 2 guys that run the truck for a bit. They're very friendly, hospitable, and, most importantly, they clearly take a lot of pride in their work. Great value, outstanding cuisine, and hospitable service.
