We used on the vine catering for our wedding, and words cannot describe how AMAZING they were. They went above and beyond for us and I honestly am so thankful. From the beginning Jessica was amazing to work with. The tasting was delicious and everything was so yummy it was hard to narrow down what we wanted because we wanted it all! We had salmon and chicken at our wedding and to this day we still get told that it was some of the best food our guests have had. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff were as well. Everyone was approachable, friendly and attentive. I'm so thankful for them and for their efforts to make our day so memorable! read more

I had the pleasure of working with On the Vine Catering for our Employee Appreciation Event in February 2026, where we celebrated employees reaching 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and even 30 years of service. It was such a meaningful milestone event, and their team helped make it truly special. Jessica, the Executive Sales Manager, was fantastic from start to finish -- communicative, accommodating, and incredibly supportive throughout the planning process. She also reassured me that all the food was gluten free (except the rolls) and had vegan/vegetarian options available. On the day of the event, Vicky, Maria, Olivia, Jordyn, Corey, Nitish, Ellie, and Nick were absolutely exceptional. Everything was handled seamlessly and professionally. Their calm, steady presence made such a difference. They checked in at just the right times (never intrusive and always helpful), and anticipated needs before we even had to ask. We received so much positive feedback about both the food and the service; our guests were very impressed. At the end of the event, I hadn't yet had a chance to eat, and the team was so kind and patient, making sure I was taken care of even while they were clearing up (ahead of schedule, so we had no fear of getting close to the "hard stop" time at our event space). That level of thoughtfulness speaks volumes about their professionalism and care. I am so grateful to On the Vine Catering and the incredible team for helping us celebrate our employees. I would highly recommend them for any event where quality, professionalism, and genuine care matter. Thank you so much! read more

We utilized On The Vine through our venue - the Purple Orchid Resort & Spa for a corporate meeting. I still have people emailing me about how delicious the food is. They are mindful of allergens, everything is fresh, set up is quick and easy and the staff are amazing. They have an extensive selection, and while we only utilized a portion of it, I undoubtedly believe everything they create is delightful. read more

HUGE ravor for On the Vine Catering. They were hired to cater my daughter's baby shower, and they were amazing. Not only was the staff professional and helpful, but the food was delicious and displayed so beautifully! I guarantee that we will be repeat customers.

Wedding food is typically expected to be "ok", nothing special, but we were pleasantly surprised by On the Vine. They were the required vendor at Nella Terra Cellars and we can see why! We had 3 passed h'orderves included and a buffet dinner (2 proteins, grain, bread/butter, and 3 sides) all included. There were many options to choose from and they accommodate for vegetarian and children options. All were top notch and very flavorful; even our families who are typically picky eaters thought the food was very tasty and the portions were substantial. On top of the food itself, their service was incredible. The moment we had our recession, we were welcomed with glasses of sparkling wine and a plate of our h'orderves. They even brought our signature drinks to us twice and more h'orderves as we took family portraits and mingled during cocktail hour. We were well taken care of throughout the night read more

On the Vine Catering was a required food vendor for my wedding venue and I'm so grateful that was the case! Everything worked seamlessly leading up and on the day of. Torrey is such a pleasure to work with. She was kind and helpful, and the whole process was so so easy. She helped to coordinate the rentals of the dinnerware and table linens since they came with our contract and was always prompt in response and updating our contract as we made changes. We chose the dual plating option with braised short ribs and seasonal white fish. Late night snack was mini corn dog and French fry bar and we got multiple compliments on the food and late nights snacks. I would highly working with On the Vine if you want a quality professional vendor that will make the process easy and deliver for your big event! read more

We had a rehearsal dinner for our son and new daughter in law at 3 Steve's Winery in Livermore. On the Vine was a preferred caterer, and from the beginning of plans Torrey was there for us! The event was perfectly executed and the plated dinner was awesome. The entire staff that evening were so nice and helpful and you could tell they wanted it to be a special night for all in attendance. It was everything we had planned on and our son and guests were very happy. We would definitely recommend them to choose for any event! Little did we know that they were the caterer for the wedding the next evening at Nella Terra Vineyards in Sunol. Again, everything was delicious and I don't believe I have ever been to a more perfect wedding. Two days we will cherish forever! read more

Everything good that one can possibly say about a catering company, one can say about On The Vine. As a wedding planner, I've worked with dozens of caterers and OTV is truly one of the best. I first experienced On the Vine's food as a guest at a friend's wedding and immediately reached out to get their information for future couples. From the moment you reach out, they respond with immense care and attention to your needs. They are communicative, thorough, and helpful (so so helpful!). They are not the caterers to balk at excessive questions (for which I often have many) and they were always open to hopping on a call or taking a quick trip to your venue. On the day of, Torrey and the entire crew came with their smiling game faces on. They were timely, prepared, joyful, and attentive to the needs of guests. They worked rapidly to set out our tablescapes, helped flip our ceremony/ reception, and offered any available hands for pack up. The food was delicious, speedy, and they were able to make various guest requests happen immediately. If you're looking for a caterer, do yourself a favor and schedule a tasting. You will not be disappointed! read more

On the Vine Catering - A plate of apps set aside for the bride and groom. DELICIOUS. - Caterers Near Me

We had our wedding at Nella Terra and On the Vine was our vendor for food. Working with the OTV team has been seamless ever since we booked them. We mainly worked with Torrey and she provides you with ample information to help you with planning. She also gives you heads up on upcoming action items which helps keeps things on your radar. OTV makes sure you are aware of the process regarding rental items and menu tastings. We received wonderful feedback from our guests regarding the food AND service. I didn't hear of any issues from our family and friends. I was personally grateful for whoever brought me some hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour (while I was standing there getting my dress bustled!). I was starving at that point so that was much appreciated! They were also very quick to serve us our drinks and entrees so that we could go around and check in with our guests. It was overall a wonderful experience working with Torrey and the OTV team and would definitely recommend them for future events! read more

Torrey, the coordinator, was fantastic! Very kind and flexible, personable. On the Vine Catering was the partner food vendor for our corporate event at Nella Terra Cellars. We had enough food for 150 people, good value for the food we got! They were great for providing vegetarian/vegan options for some of our coworkers, and their salmon was DELICIOUS! I wish we got to try their BBQ, their food was amazing! They provide lots of options and Torrey is very communicative. Our company had policy hurdles to jump over and Torrey was very patient and flexible, fantastic! I would definitely use this catering company again! read more

We were recommended to On the vine catering from our wedding venue back in 2019 for our original wedding date which got cancelled due to covid. Jill was compassionate, fair and kind, accommodating to our changes! When we first met Jill back in 2019 we immediately loved her fun & kind personality! Since we lived in Hong Kong at the time it was difficult to arrange weddings with the time difference but Jill was very accommodating and gave us an extra helping hand. On August 2021 we finally had our wedding and Jessica was managing the day of. She is a true professional with a great eye! She is super experienced and lovely to work with! We are SUPER PLEASED with the food too. And our guest all mentioned the food was GREAT! read more

On The Vine is one of our preferred caterers at The Overlook venue, and we love working with them! Their food is delicious, price point is very reasonable, their staff is professional & friendly, and they are quick to respond! We look forward to continuing business with them :) read more

My husband ordered catering from here for my graduation party and it was unbelievably delicious! We ordered the California bistro menu and opted to pick it up ourselves (and they were nice enough to give us a discount for doing so). All our guests commented on how good the food was, and we often talk about how we wish we could pick up smaller sized orders just to have for ourselves. I highly recommend On the Vine! read more

Delicious and great communicators! We hired on the wine to cater our "welcome dinner" the night before the wedding. We hosted 110 people in our house and backyard, which is not that big of space. On the Vine did a terrific job and the space was never an issue. My guests were raving about the food. "We are kind of on the wedding circuit, and this is the best food we have had at an event all year." We ask for special foods connected to the places the bride and groom have lived and visited, so we received an innovative menu from Jessica: tacos, hula hula chicken, mango spring salad, NY pizza bites, raviolis, clam chowder shooters, grilled cheese, etc. The guests loved the variety. They also accommodated my vegan and GF friends. The crew was kind and efficient and the whole event was terrific! They even took care of 3 types of cupcakes! read more

10/10 would highly recommend using On The Vine Catering for your next big event! We recently partnered with On The Vine for our wedding in April 2023 and they did not disappoint - our guests were raving about our menu.

I booked On the Vine for our June 2022 wedding and everything about them is amazing!! Jessica was an absolute joy to communicate with and was efficient, organized, and kind. I had 100% confidence in her and knew everything would run smoothly. Not only is On the Vine extremely well priced compared to many other wedding caterers, but the food was AMAZING! I had so many guests raving about it. We highly recommend the mahi mahi and honey soy glazed chicken! Also, the cherry on top was that Jessica had a plate of the hors d'oeuvres waiting at our seats because she knew we wouldn't have time to eat them. Book them now :) read more

Our venue, Rios-Lovell winery, had On the Vine catering as one of the vendor options for the food for our wedding, and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the food and their service at our wedding! Our guests were blown away by the tastiness of the dinner; they couldn't stop buzzing about how delicious the chicken marsala, trip tip, and mashed potatoes were! Jill was very organized and accommodating to the changes we made leading up to the wedding and ensured that my husband and I were well-fed and attended to in between taking pictures and chatting with guests! read more

On the Vine did an amazing job for our reception at Nella Terra! They ensured that all our wishes were met and it was a night to remember. I especially appreciated that a tray of appetizers was brought to us during cocktail hour and dinner was delivered to the bridal cottage while I was changing! It's always difficult to find time to eat as the bride and groom and we were so happy that our needs were thought of as well. Highly recommend working with On the Vine if you get the chance! read more

We hired Cabana Dave's/On the Vine Catering for our small backyard wedding ceremony. Ronnie made the meal selection easy and all coordination seamless. We selected the Mediterranean Buffet Menu and the food was beyond delicious. They were very accommodating for our family's celiac/gluten free dietary requirements. We also hired this same team last minute to cater our rehearsal dinner after our previous plans fell through. We selected the French-American Bistro Buffet Menu #2 for this meal. Overall, our weekend was filled with great food and memories, thanks to On the Vine. read more

On the Vine Catering - Passed Hors d'oeuvre "Devil's on Horseback" and Italian Caprese Skewers - Caterers Near Me

On the Vine was the caterer we used for our wedding at Nella Terra Cellars as they have an exclusive partnership with the venue. We worked with Jill on the coordination and found her to be incredibly efficient and appreciate how quickly she responded to inquiries. There were many changes/updates that occurred during the wedding planning process but she juggled all of the updates professionally with a very high degree of accuracy (for the few times there were small mistakes, she owned up and quickly corrected them which I appreciated). We had a significant number of guests with food restrictions that needed to have adjusted meals - to our knowledge all of it was correctly delivered by the catering staff on our wedding day which was deeply appreciated. Another great thing about working with On the Vine is they have a partnership with Pleasanton Rentals and you don't have to handle the communication between the catering staff and rentals (ex: plating, linens etc) They function pretty seamlessly as if they were a single unit - ex: you go to Pleasanton Rentals and pick out your plating options and that will be communicated to On the Vine in the total bill. I think their costs to be very reasonable and they offered a few different tiers of both plated and buffet options which was really nice. The few things I'd improve/advise future couples on: Tasting selection - if you can attend an On the Vine event and get a larger sampling of their offerings I think it would be beneficial. The tasting we did allowed us to try a few different options but there is actually a lot more selection than what we were able to try in that one sitting and we would have loved to have smaller portions and try more before making a decision. The challenge is they have several different tiers and ideally you'd want to compare the different tiers vs. the cost trade-offs but that simply isn't possible being only able to try 3 entrees at the tasting. We ended up picking an entree for our final menu we never tasted: wine braised beef - which was kind of scary.... but luckily it turned out great, very tender and guests loved it. Beside manner - I think while Jill is incredibly efficient and competent, I did feel a little uneasy at times at in-person meetings as she can seem impatient/sharp if couples don't have everything together/all the answers. It may be a different personality mesh thing but just something to be aware of as more constructive feedback for handling couples as it is already a pretty stressful time for most people. All and all we had a very good experience with On the Vine and think they did a great job at our wedding. read more

On The Vine was recommended to us by the Scottish Rite Center in Oakland where we booked our memorial event. We worked with Rochelle on the planning and she was so patient, so knowledgeable and handled all the changes, updates, re-dos with grace and humor. The event itself was managed by her team with Vicky in the lead and Daniel as lead bar tender- and they were great. Totally profesional, handled all challenges (and there are always challenges) with ease and a 'no problem' attitude. The food was beautifully displayed and ample. It was an absolute pleasure working with On The Vine. Highly recommend them. read more

We worked with On the Vine for our wedding at Nella Terra Cellars and were very happy we did! From the appetizers to the late night snacks and everything in between, the food at the event was absolutely delicious. We served the short ribs and macadamia-crusted mahi mahi, and we had so many guests comment on how much they loved all the food. It was wonderful to work with their team leading up to the event, and On the Vine provided great service during the reception, too. read more

What a wonderful company! We have used On the Vine for company events and recently contracted their services for our son's wedding. All of the details were covered from the silverware to the table settings and the food is always delicious! Their staff is friendly and helpful and they are quick to respond to any questions through email or by phone. I am so happy to have found this great group of people and a big shout out to our lead coordinator, Torrey, who went above and beyond the call of duty to help us make our son and his new wife's day so incredibly special. Highly recommend them for your catering needs and we can't wait to use them for our next event because the food and the service is that good!! read more

We booked On the Vine because they are a required vendor of Nella Terra Cellars, where we got married. I am so glad they were required because we wouldn't have wanted to go with any other catering vendor! Jill was so great to work with. We had many questions and she always answered them so quickly. As for the food, our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was! Sometimes wedding food can be underwhelming but we, along with all of our guests, were incredibly impressed at not just the quality and taste of the food, but also how professional the servers were! We recommend On the Vine to everyone! read more

i had high expectations for On the Vine. They were the more expensive option, and I expected them to provide excellent service and food. The passed hors d'ouevres were very good, the servers did their jobs well, and the presentation of the food was also very good. However, we picked On the Vine primarily because they offered a "charcuterie cone," filled with charcuterie and other misc items; we fell in love with the idea after seeing an example picture of the cone. We planned to place these at each table setting at the start of our event. The cones we were served did not look like the example in a picture that was sent to me (fewer items, less variety), nor were they presented on the table as we had agreed upon during our planning conversations. Instead, they were place in the table in a large display/holder that, although attractive, took up much more space than we had available on each table. I had even reminded the lead caterer when they arrived that the cones should be set at each place setting. After my event, I was contacted once with a request for final payment. No one has reached out to me or followed up with me to ask how things went. I might have written a different review had the vendor shown interest in my/our experience. Overall, my experience was good. However, it was not great. read more

Everyone raved about the food! Used On the Vine Catering for a private birthday party (apx 65 people) at a vineyard in March 2019. From the cheese and fruit tray, to the passed hors d'oeuvres, to the SEAFOOD STATION, to the prime rib dinner... everything was delicious! The oysters, crab/shrimp cocktail and the prime rib were standouts that everyone commented on. The on-site staff were extremely friendly and discreet, and the office staff was helpful and responsive. I can't say enough good things about OTV! read more

We had On the Vine cater our wedding reception at Nella Terra in June 2021 -- they did a fantastic job, and we couldn't be happier! Jill is SO easy and fun to work with, we got to chat with her during our tasting and it's really clear that she's kind, professional, and organized. All of the food, of course, speaks for itself -- there's a great variety of options, and you really can't go wrong with any of them (see photos for our final menu). Our guests were super pleased! The On the Vine catering team is also superb -- they were friendly with all of our guests and did a wonderful job setting up the dinner tables and dessert table! For us, On the Vine also contracted with Pleasanton Rentals for all linens and tableware / flatware -- it made it super easy for us to have everything all together. Overall, they did a great job, and we're extremely grateful for their help in making our wedding a success! Photos by Brooke & Bryn Photography, they are also excellent!! read more

We can't say enough great things about Dave and his team! We worked with Dave for our wedding through Purple Orchid and were lucky to have him be part of our team. Dave took the time to understand the details of what we were looking for and executed it perfectly on our wedding day. Dave also worked closely with Pleasanton rentals to make sure our plates and cutlery were perfect. The food was perfect on our wedding day and many of our wedding guests--who are foodies--said that it was the best pasta they had ever had. We can't say enough great things about Dave and are very lucky to have had him and his team be a part of our wedding. -Jess and Jashwal read more

We hired On The Vine Catering to do our rehearsal dinner and were thrilled with everything they did! Rochelle was incredibly professional, helpful, and kind from day one. It was a last minute rehearsal, so small things were changing close to the date, but they were still so nice!! The food.. people have not stopped raving about it!! We did the Mediterranean theme, and it was delicious! 10/10 recommend this company. If your experience was anything like mine, you will not be disappointed!! read more

My husband and I just got married on May 1st. We choose on the vine catering first because of Jill Black. She is awesome and you can tell she loves her job. Second was because of the food. So we were not surprised when all of our guests commented on how great the food was. Especially the tri tip. WOW. Then what made it even better is Jill made sure we ate by bringing food to us because we had a buffet and she didn't want us to have to get up. If you need a great caterer with great food and service look no further then On the vine catering. Love you guys. read more

On the Vine Catering - Caterers Near Me

We used On the Vine to cater our wedding at Rios Lovell at the end of April. This is one of Rios' preferred caterers (meaning no extra fees for using them.). We chose them over the other caterer for two reasons - one we thought their entrees tasted better, and second their way ofputting costs together and putting together a meal just made more sense for our circumstances. Jill was a pleasure to work with. She was helpful, funny, pragmatic, insightful. She handled a lot of details for me exactly the way I wanted them. The food was amazing. It tasted like the taste test we did. Set up and take down were easy. The day of the event it was fine. She worked well with the other vendors so that everything flowed easily. I would highly recommend Jill and On the Vine for a wedding, or other event. We are also members at Stonyridge and Crooked Vine wineries, and On the Vine does the catering for their quarterly tasting events. They do a fabulous job for them too. They did a pairing of food and tasting one quarter that was spot on. They did a Hawaiian theme this time which I thought was difficult because it was a Hawaiian theme, it was a hot day, but the winery decided to do Pinot Noir, Cabernet and Zinfandel - not a single one of which I would serve at a Hawaiian party on a hot dry day.... but On the Vine pulled it together with their food. Kudos to the team! When I run into people they are still raving about the food at our wedding. And we've all been to too many weddings where the food was blah. My husband and I had our dream wedding in part because of Jill and her team and their excellent planning AND execution. read more

Went to a event they catered. The food was hot and delicious! From the beautiful table setting to the addition of candles it was nicely set up. A special thank you for the professional and friendly Emma and Nick! I would definitely recommend them! read more

On the Vine catered my wedding last month, and they were amazing to work with. From the beginning, I knew I had nothing to worry about as Jill was extremely responsive, organized, and personable. There were a number of different menu options and all at very reasonable prices. On the day of the wedding, the entire team did an excellent job. The tables were set beautifully, and the staff was very attentive and professional throughout the night. On top of that, the food was absolutely delicious! Our guests particularly loved the tri tip. My husband and I barely got to eat our meal during the wedding since we were being pulled in a million different places, but luckily, Emma (catering manager that night) boxed up a number of dishes, so we got to enjoy the leftovers the next day :) I would absolutely recommend this company. They really took a lot of the stress out of my wedding planning and were a pleasure throughout the entire process. read more

On the Vine and Jill are 100% top of the line, and I highly recommend them to any bride. We got so many compliments all night from our guests about how much they enjoyed the food. We were so pleased with how everything turned out, and Jill fulfilled all of our requests exactly how we wanted. The pricing is really fair for the quality of the food you're getting.

We hired On The Vine for our wedding in Livermore. Jill was so great to work with and was very responsive to our emails and changes that we wanted to make. She worked with the rental company to get everything picked up and ready. We also had a walk through at the venue a few weeks beforehand and she was very knowledgeable on where things should go. The day of, Jill and her team were awesome and the food was great and everything just went very smoothly. A few months before our wedding, we had a group tasting with other couples and we got to taste different foods that we didn't picked out and we actually picked something else for our menu because of it. read more

First party since the pandemic on 5-22-21! My Brothers 60th birthday party. I was a little nervous since I hadn't tasted their food and there had not been a review in awhile but the food was delicious, the staff was amazing. Jill started working with me as the event planner putting the menu together (we had the tri-tip, marsala chicken, salad, potatoes, rolls) and was helpful every time I had to up the guest count! I requested they pack up everything that was left over so we could take it with us and they did. VERY happy with On the Vine and would definitely hire them again. Super attentive staff, very friendly and made the event fantastic. read more

Like some of the reviews here, what sold us on On the Vine Catering is Jill Black. She was able to demonstrate the depth of her experience and professionalism from the beginning to the end of On the Vine Caterings services. Upon interviewing with multiple caterers Jill gave us the most confidence that our wedding will go smoothly. She works with your budget and guides you through the process. The day of she demonstrated her leadership through coordinating multiple efforts (one example of this was that we were running late on schedule and I had asked if her staff can corral all the guest and get them to their seats, before I knew it, we were right back on schedule). Highly recommended! read more
