65th birthday celebration.... formal sit-down dinner in my garden for 35. Once again... Napkins Catering came through with a spirited, professional and creative event. During the planning process.... Skot went out of his way... getting the best possible pricing for quality rentals after researching multiple sources. During the event... my oven went on the blink... the "roll with the punches team of professionals" adapted and served an amazing dinner of tray passed hors d'oeuvres ... starter, entree and dessert. Napkins Catering food is always on point.... it's their service that takes it to the next level. My endorsement of this great catering company remains the same... a huge recommendation! read more

I highly recommend Napkins Catering. Skot and his team catered a baby shower for my family. It was wonderful. The food was delicious and fresh. The team provided excellent service. They are wonderful. Thank you Lex for leading the team and even packing leftovers for my husband when he got back after the baby shower was done. I love Napkins Catering! read more

Exceptional experience with this catering company! Their attention to detail, delicious food, and outstanding service made our event unforgettable. Highly recommend for any occasion! read more

One of our favorite places to eat when we visit Napa, their food and service is top notch!

We can't thank Skot enough! Napkins is by far 5 star in every aspect. Skot is professional, spot on, and from start to finish, the event was over the top. So, thank you, Skot, and to the wonderful crew who were organized, timely , attentive and worked seamlessly together. This all exceeded our expectation. The staff smiled and quietly took care of this party. This event was a backyard engagement party, and Napkins made it very special. -they did everything. We wanted a very special day for our son and future daughter in law and we got it. The attention to detail was remarkable. The food is fresh and every dish amazing. Any item you choose, will be delicious, beautifully presented, and enjoyed by all your guests. Skot helped us with a nice afternoon bar and it was enjoyed by all. The yard set up was very pretty. Thank you again, and to Gina, Jen, Sebastian and Wandaley, we were completely comfortable having you moving it all along. We appreciated you. read more

There are too many good things to write about Skot and his team that will fit in this review. Our original wedding was set for April 2020 but of course the pandemic shut us down. Skot stuck it out with me and 2 1/2 years later we had our celebration! Skot walked me through everything - any concerns I had were allayed. His knowledge and class shine through in everything, but he's just as fun as your best friend. The food was delicious, the set up was beautiful. Barry manned the bar and followed my direction on serving - to a tee - this is the guy you want in your corner! Janeen kindly protected those in my family with celiac and kept our GF food separate which was of huge importance to me. If you want top notch service, delicious food, and on point styling, you've found it. I will be calling on Skot again - they are simply the best. read more

Working with Skot and his team was such a great experience! From the moment i spoke with him on the phone about my event until the day after, he took such great care of us. The food was amazing! The guests absolutely loved the macaroni and cheese, roasted chicken was a hit, and the butternut squash ravioli was delicious!! His team were professional, polite, and so helpful from start to finish! I highly recommend napkins catering for your upcoming event!! read more

I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Napkins Catering for the excellent job they did catering and helping to organize our wedding reception. Not only was the food magnificent, but they also helped the whole event run smoothly. They are so much more than just caterers. The ambiance and mood they helped create really made the event special. Skot was terrific, always in touch and so responsive to our needs. Barry was amazing and the rest of the staff were also terrific. Everyone commented on how friendly and professional the staff was. They all helped us make our vision a reality. We had a great night and I would recommend Napkins to anyone! read more

WOW, Skot & Napkins Catering & Event Planning (not to be confused with Napkins restaurant) made my 65th birthday party so amazing & unforgettable! My professional background is hotel management/event planning/catering so I can be a very exacting client. I had decided I wanted to serve heavy hors d'oeuvres so my guests would get enough to eat (because we were going to be drinking & dancing into the evening), but I didn't want a buffet dinner menu. I wanted innovated, new takes on food. Natural, not processed. A foodie experience. I was not disappointed. Skot & his staff DELIVERED AMAZINGLY! When I met with Skot, he listened to my ideas (what a concept), looked at the recipes I wanted to incorporate in my menu, made suggestions and recommendations then explained how it would all work. He offered his opinions and thoughts, which I wanted. (I had met with one caterer who just keep shaking his head 'no', arguing & explaining why I needed to do it HIS way, after all HE was the one with experience. Yes, that went over big.) After hiring Skot, I no longer had to concern myself with my menu or staffing, equipment rental, linens, dishes, glasses, etc. Skot ordered and managed it all after getting my approval of what was going to be used. All deliveries & pickups happened as scheduled. His staff arrived, dressed appropriately, on time with pleasant attitudes and knew what they needed to do. I didn't have to get involved. It was amazing. Skot was there to answer any questions I might have or new information I might need to convey. During the cocktail hour Skot's staff passed a selection of hors d'oeuvres, I'm still hearing about the amazing tomato soup shot glass with grilled cheese sandwich square, which was one of Skot's suggestions. He was so right. It was delicious. After about an hour Skot's staff announced food was available in the dining room. I had ordered flowers and candles, but Napkins was responsible for laying the table & it was beautiful. Small chafing dishes and trays arranged around the table. Skot's staff replenished the food though-out service and continually policed all areas where guests roamed for discarded dishes and glasses. At the end of the evening they packed up all the rented glasses, dishes, linens, flatware, cleaned the items of mine they used, stored any food, emptied garbage & left my home in order. Perfect. My party was at the end of April and I am still getting compliments about it, the food, the staff and how courteous & accommodating they all were, how beautifully the food was presented, but most importantly how delicious & innovated the food was. I will definitely use Napkins again and highly recommend them for any type event you may be planning. They are so professional, which allowed me to enjoy my party and not worry about anything. The evening was fantastic and exceeded what I was hoping it would be. It was a great party. read more

For my Dad's memorial we needed to find a caterer. Napkins was highly recommended and from the moment I called I knew we called the right place. Skot is extremely professional and on top of planning. Even the venue was highly impressed on the communication and loved working with him. The event was perfect because of Napkins. The whole team did an amazing job. Janine was on top of everything and the food was absolutely delicious. We definitely will be calling Napkins again for any up coming events. Thank you Napkins for making the memorial simply perfect. read more

Napkins Catering & Event Planning was exceptional and impressive to say the least! My now husband and I decided to take 2 months to plan a wedding that took place in November 2020. Such last minute planning was overwhelming as you can imagine, but Skot and his team took a load of stress off of my shoulders by taking care of the catering and rentals (arch, table, chairs, linens, plates, cutlery, napkins, glasses, etc.). Skot was a great communicator and really took leadership all while making my ideas come to life. I truly appreciated that! The team was also very mindful of wearing masks and maintaining their distance throughout the day. My guests felt completely comfortable and taken care of, and we received so many compliments on the food! I am so happy that my mother in law found Napkins Catering. I loved every minute of working with Skot and his team! read more

Decided, Post quarantine, to host a small, "socially distanced", dinner party. Not sure Skot would be willing to cater such a small dinner but he enthusiastically took it on and once again hit it out of the park. As always the food and service was sublime. A special thanks to the chef for the day, Maria, for her delicious food and artful presentation. Maybe more importantly for these times, Skot has developed a protocol that assures safe distancing, masks and sanitation that made us and our guests feel safe while still enjoying a special evening. Skot and crew continue to offer outstanding service while scrupulously adhering to needed safety standards. We continue to highly recommend Napkins Catering and Events. read more

This review is long overdue. My daughter got married in October 2012 and I must say....this was some of the best wedding food I've ever had, and the staff was exceptional. My daughter and future son-in-law we're married at a winery in Napa. The caterers made sure everything was set up, paid attention to detail, cleaned up, made sure everyone had appetizers, champagne, and helped clean my daughter's wedding dress when someone spilled a bottle of wine on it, long story. I would highly recommend them for any catering needs. read more

Just amazing. Napkins catered our small, socially-distanced wedding, which was originally planned back in February as a much bigger affair. Skot rolled with so many changed in COVID times and just made us feel incredibly comfortable, relaxed, and (importantly!) safe. The planning was great and painless, and the event itself came off without a hitch - food was fabulous, service impeccable. I can't say enough good things about Skot and Napkins Catering. read more

Napkins took wonderful care of us. Even as we changed and adapted our wedding for covid protocol, they were accommodating, kept us informed of all policy changes and were creative in creating a safe, warm, and joyful environment. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the staff friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Napkins Catering for my parents 60th Anniversary celebration provided food that was incredibly delicious! Skot has a very professional team which separates them from others with attention to details and so friendly. We highly recommend Napkins for any special event! read more

Skot and his team at Napkins are outstanding. Each year they cater a large lunch buffet (open house) for about 100 guests and they just get better and better. The quality of the food, the estimate on amounts, the promptness of arrival and setup, the professionalism of the staff - A++ on all counts. Skot is also very helpful on menu planning. We highly recommend Napkins. They are a joy to work with and every dish was delicious! read more

Skot at Napkins Catering has now delivered two spectacular family events for me. He is creative, with countless ideas for food, drink and design. His menu items are remarkable and he is very respectful of a targeted budget. Skot created a lunch after a family funeral last year that was beautiful and delicious. He and the staff were unobtrusive, attentive and exceedingly professional. I had him return recently for an in-house holiday party and he created a magical experience. Skot is an excellent listener, and readily available for any questions or concerns. He and his staff offer impeccable service and their presentation is exquisite. Each staff member is attentive, encouraging and incredibly adaptable. Nothing fazes this group. They remained consistently focused on creating a stunning experience even with last minute changes due to weather and the particulars of our event spaces. Even their take down did not disrupt the flow of either event. I wholeheartedly agree with my many guests who complimented their food, tone and service. Napkins Catering is superb. I highly recommend their services. read more

As a small business owner, there's nothing more reassuring than when I know a supplier "has my back". Skot & the Napkins team recently pulled me out of an emotional ditch, as another caterer backed out of a confirmed date. (I won't be reviewing them!). My team @Propville has worked with Napkins on 3 projects over the last 2 years. In off the beaten track locations, each meal has been on time, delicious and presented with so much love, my guests feel that in every bite! Quality, honesty & beauty is what Napkins serves. Love! read more

My guests and I had THE BEST experience with Skot and his team! With less than a weeks notice, Skot helped me plan a Celebration of Life in honor of my mom who recently passed away. The food was beautifully displayed and delicious. More importantly, Barry and Victor didn't miss a step in serving my guests and making sure everyone's needs were met. So many of my guests raves about them. Definitely recommend! read more

With only three weeks notice we were asked to organize a 40 guest wedding rehearsal dinner in Sonoma. Skot was incredibly easy to work with and very flexible. When we started planning our event he was still on vacation in New York, yet always responded to our calls immediately. His crew were very friendly, accommodating and efficient. His price was reasonable. Our event was in a Community center classroom that didn't have much aesthetics or appeal, but through Skot's creativity he was able to transform the space into a really cool, attractive, festive party and dinner venue. We recieved many compliments from our guests. The presentation of the food buffet and cocktail hour area, was very nicely done. Our dinner was delicious and Skot gets 6 stars for style! read more

So what can I say... The whole experience was amazing. We were married on 8/31/14 and Skot and his crew were more than I could have ever dreamed of. From the initial meeting with Skot I knew he was the right fit for me. He is very particular and professional but with a laid back approach that I really enjoyed. It was never stressful or disorganized. He always knew what was going on when. He helped me organize my rentals for tables, flatware etc. and even told me I should rent some bar tables that I didn't think I needed, but he was right and they made the space so much more of a wedding space. Day of the wedding. They all got there and got to work. Had everything set up beautifully by the time our guests arrived. The passed appetizers as well as our stationary one were a big hit. (They even set some aside for the groom and I to enjoy!) Dinner: we did a family style meal which can be a pain at a wedding for that many people(115). But it went flawlessly! The food was phenomenal! I am 36 and have been to many weddings. We all know what mass produced food tastes like, and this was NOT that!!!! It was all so good! Better than I ever imagined. Staff: Skot has people that he brings in with him who are all great! Barry: who was the floor manager for our wedding as well as taking care of the groom and I as we ate. The nicest man ever. So professional and very sweet at the same time. The whole experience was just perfect! And to make amazing food for 115 people for an outside wedding at a private residence was more than I could have ever hoped for. Thank you Skot, Barry and the rest of the staff!!!! read more

Napkins Catering and Event planning hosted my Holiday Open House. WOW! What an amazing job they did. Not one detail was forgotten. My event was a huge success because of them. Food was delicious (people could not get enough, especially the short ribs!), displays were done so beautifully, staff was so professional they went out of their way to make sure every guest had what they needed. From the time I booked the party to the moment they left the party, every detail was taken care of. Thanks Napkins for turning an open house into a beautiful unforgettable event for my company. read more

Amazing food & amazing service! My fiancé and I had our engagement party in which Skot served an array of yummy hors d'oeuvres that my guests absolutely LOVED! To give you an idea of what was served: mini chicken & waffles, grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters, caprese salad skewers, stuffed mushrooms, & more! Skot even saw that I was so busy entertaining my guests that he brought me over a grilled cheese & tomato soup shooter which I totally appreciated! Even while he made the food, he also made sure the guests as well as myself were comfortable! He had suggested ideas to help with the foot traffic which totally worked once some things were changed around! On time, very approachable, & very professional! I will definitely hire him again as his food and service were amazing and my guests are still talking about it! Thanks Skot!! read more

3 months to plan a reception for 150 people for my best friend's wedding. Skot was informative, broke down all the costs, didn't mind all my crazy phone calls, and made all of us so happy we chose to work with him. As a first time planner I can say, Skot made a WORLD of difference for me! Skot and his staff were attentive, gracious, and warm. Never once did the bride & groom need to lift a finger because Skot and his staff were taking amazing care of them! How can I forget to gush about the food! We did chicken, lasagna, and veggies that were out of this world! They don't miss a detail when the last second I was told we had a vegan in the party and they came through with a special dish that she said was just a amazing! I'm so very thankful that Skot and his staff worked with us, I couldn't have asked for a more amazing group to work with. read more

Napkins catering did my wedding and everything was just perfect. I had 5 weeks to plan my wedding since we decided to get married really fast. Skot answered my so quickly. I did some research and he had the best price for what we wanted. He kept in touch with me regularly and came at our house for a tasting. We loved the food so we went with him. He reviewed my rental order to make sure I had everything we need and proposed some ideas which we accepted and were really happy about it. Everybody gave us good comments for the appetizers. Moreover, we had two entrées so everybody was pleased wit the food. The servers were just so nice with us. They kept some food for us because we went for pictures. They were always serving us first and they were so polite with our guests. We had some late night food (pork sliders) wich was so good and a wonderful idea. They cleaned everything at the end and brought back the garbage with us. Very very good cater read more

Skot and the rest of the Napkins Catering team catered our wedding on April 9th in Calistoga and they were AWESOME! Not only was Skot the ONLY caterer we met with who was willing to work within our budget, but the food was absolutely delicious. We got tons of compliments. Skot was also very attentive throughout the entire process, which made my life as a bride much easier. We had to change our entire dinner plan last minute due to rain (thank you Mother Nature) but Skot was great about it all and made it all come together beautifully. I highly recommend hiring Napkins Catering for your wedding or any big event! read more

Napkins Catering just catered my son's wedding in Walnut Creek. The event was perfect from beginning to end. The Napkins crew were the bartenders with 3 signature cocktails. And, of course, they produced and served excellent food. Everything was seamless as well as being delicious. And the cleanup/teardown was so efficient that we were out of the venue with 30 min to spare. I can't thank them enough. read more

Napkins Catering is one of the best catering companies I have ever worked with. I have been an event planner for over 20 years and in my experience I have never worked with a company that cares so much about their customers. If you want it done right call them. I have used Napkins for the last 7 years. They have always given me such great service, quality food, and work with me on my style, budget and special needs I had for each event. Their food is not only beautiful but very tasty. Their staff is friendly and work so hard making your event perfect from the moment they set up until the last item is packed away. I have not only heard feedback from my staff on how great they were but my clients and customers that attended my event. Thanks Napkins for always being there for me no matter what size my event is. Thanks, Janeen Kissinger Fehr & Peers read more

Our party of four enjoyed this place so much on our first visit we returned the next night to do it over again. The carefully crafted cocktails, fine wines, and delicious food were matched by excellent service. Unpretentious, relaxed, excellent! read more

Napkins Catering catered my Dads 100th Birthday Celebration, 150-200 people, on 12-31-15 and I could not have been more pleased that I had chosen Napkins to cater it! Skot and his staff were beyond wonderful. Skot was fantastic to work with well before the event and took a lot of the work and stress off of my shoulders. He reviewed the venue and met with me personally prior to the celebration so he was well educated in the venue and what would be needed, where things would be placed, where he would set up his 'kitchen' etc. He made suggestions of things I might need that I hadn't thought of. Skot kept in touch with me prior to the event which I found surprising and valuable. He and his staff rolled with the punches so to speak when things needed changing up during the event. Before, during and after the event he and his staff were fantastic. The staff set up things beautifully. The buffet tables looked beautiful and appetizing and the staff passing around appetizers whispered through the event as well as being enormously friendly and personable. Beyond all that, the food was fantastic! What I feel speaks volumes of Skot, the food and staff are the many, many people who have told me, even as long as three weeks after the event, how much they had loved the food and thought that Napkins Catering was great!! And, when opportunity arises, "will hire them in a heartbeat"! There is no other catering company that I would choose either. Napkins Catering is the only company I will want to work with in the future. Thank you Skot and Napkins Catering for helping to make Dads 100th birthday celebration so enjoyable, visually pleasing and delicious. Thank you for taking a lot of the stress of this event off of my shoulders. After we met and agreed on hiring you, it was like a ton of bricks being lifted. I knew instinctively you were the right choice and it turned out I was so right on! Joanne Balmer 1/20/16 read more

Where to begin?! I never write reviews, but Napkins catering was so awesome that I had to l share the wealth! My husband and I used Napkins catering and event planning for our wedding last month. Simply put, everything was amazing. We checked out a few different caterers for our wedding, but as soon as I met Skot and Jeff, the decision was clear. Not only was the food that they prepared for our tasting delicious, it was apparent that they understood what they were doing and how to do it well. It was important to me to not only have delicious food, but have a team that knew how to provide excellent service in a very tasteful and intimate setting. I'm typically a laid back person, but wedding planning is a lot of work and can be very stressful. Skot and Jeff were always there to address any questions or share ideas. I was overwhelmed with all the decisions that needed to be made for an event (colors, plates, silverware, napkins, etc. etc. etc.). However, Skot and Jeff to the rescue! They have exquisite taste and literally took charge for me. THANK YOU. On the big day, everything came together so smoothly AND beautifully, it exceeded all of my expectations. We had roughly 80 guests and I can't tell you how many people approached us to tell us how wonderful the food was, the amazing service and overall what a fantastic wedding it was. I kept looking around me in awe at how gorgeous everything turned out. From managing all the larger logistics to adding small details....it just blew my mind. The food was presented so beautifully and it was delicious! Every member of their staff was exceptional as well. So professional, yet warm and friendly. Last but not least....their prices are very competitive. In fact, I can't imagine any of the other catering/event groups we met pulling off such an amazing event even if they charged twice as much! There's something to be said about having innate taste and caring about your work/art. Skot, Jeff and their team at Napkins catering are an amazing group of people and they do just that. Specifically to the bridge/groom looking for a catering/event company for your wedding- there are many vendors out there who will see your wedding strictly as a business opportunity and nothing else. Skot and Jeff made us feel cared for and I can't thank them enough for their pivotal role in our amazing day. read more

A big THANK YOU to Skot and his staff at Napkins Catering! Our event on November 11th was a tremendous success thanks in large part to the excellent service and attention to detail provided by Napkins. The food was delicious, well presented and plentiful. We look forward to working with the wonderful staff at Napkins Catering in the future so much so that we've asked that they reserve our date for next year in 2018! read more

Jeff, Skot and the entire team at Napkins catering made our wedding day unforgettable and stress free. Jeff and Skot met with us several times to make sure no detail was forgotten. On our wedding day, everything looked amazing and the food was awesome! Best of all, their staff made sure that WE (bride and groom) were taken care of. They brought us our glass of wine no matter where we were, sent us home with some snacks, and even replaced the food on our plate in case it had gotten cold while we were talking to guests. Highly Recommend them for any and all events! read more

I moved to Solano County in December and shortly thereafter got engaged. I was not familiar with any catering services in the surrounding area so I went to YELP and searched for caterers. Napkins catering was one of many that I contacted to discuss food options and costs for our July 2013 wedding. I can honestly say that none of the other businesses I contacted impressed me as much as Napkins Catering did! Skot from Napkins won my heart!!! He was quick to respond to my inquiry and when talking to him, I felt and heard the excitement about making our day fantastic when the others came across flippant. Skot was very attentive and consistently reassured me to not stress because he has it handled. Skot reviewed the party rental agreement several times to ensure all necessary equipment (linens, tables, etc.) was ordered and without hesitation met me and my then fiance at the venue to give us fabulous suggestions in how to best utilize the space at our reception site. The food presentation was gorgeous and the food was delicious!! The service provided by Napkins staff was very professional as well as attentive. My husband and I were always being asked if we needed any food or drinks throughout the evening. Janeen, who works for Skot as the on-site event coordinator, is outstanding!!! Not only is she adorable, she knows her job and does it well. She arrived early, confirmed with me how I wanted things done and then got things done!!! She took care of everything, even ran back to the bride's dressing room to get items we forgot to grab for our photo shoot with the photographer. Napkins Catering and Event Planning is the best in the Bay Area. I guarantee you will be equally impressed and as happy as we are when you choose them to cater your wedding or event!!! Again, many, many thanks to you Skot, Jeannie and the Napkins staff!!! read more

Napkins catered and planned our October wedding, and I couldn't have asked for anything better. If you want a group that will take care of things for you, so your wedding can be worry free, look no further! Skot, Jeff and the amazing staff at Napkins are all down to earth, friendly and great people! They helped us pick our venue, craft our menu, rent our linens, and made life easy! Our guests raved about our food, and how smooth the whole event went. As our planner, Jeff made sure that we didn't have a single worry on the day of our event. Skot put together a five star meal for nearly 200 people and there was no kitchen at our venue! We couldn't have asked for a better staff at the wedding, they were all fantastic! read more

Napkins Catering served my wedding, and it couldn't have been more perfect. We chose to have a dinner buffet, and the food was absolutely amazing - even the chicken.... which I was skeptical about being dry, but it was so juicy it fell off the bone! Skot and his crew were so friendly and helpful, and were instrumental in making my wedding go smoothly without a single hitch. If you are looking for a GREAT catering and event planning provider..... LOOK NO FURTHER! read more

We have used Napkins Catering for many years-and they just get better and better. Skot has a 6th sense for what works to make a party great. His crew (Jennifer, Barry, Jonathan) are first rate. They make every guest feel special. His cooking is-in a word-divine. He will work with you on creating specific menus-taking your likes/dislikes into account. I totally credit Skot for making every party we have had a big success. My favorites (among many)-lamb lollipops, sliders, tuna tartar, crab cakes. and amazing homemade butternut squash ravioli. He makes a crab casserole that I dream about! The homemade lemon squares and macaroons are wonderful too. And at the end of the evening-everything is spotless. You wouldn't even know they'd been there. Can't imagine having a party without him! read more
