    They also made an ombre cake in our sunset colors, vanilla with hibiscus filling

    We had a fabulous experience using Pacific Pearl for two wedding events in our residence. Chef Michael, Zac, & Kelli were fantastic in helping us plan an inventive menu and providing the right staffing. Every food item was delicious and beautifully & subtly presented. Our guests raved about the food and were even more awestruck learning everything was gluten-free and locally sourced. We love their charming coffee shop/cafe in SJC also. Big fans and highly recommend!!

    We couldn't be happier that we found Michael to create the perfect menu and at home dining experience for our dad's 60th birthday celebration! He worked with us to create the perfect menu for our event and there was no detail missed that evening! He and his assistant Stuart set a beautiful table on our beachside patio and even handed out their amazing appetizers to us while in the sand taking family photos. After we sat ourselves at the beautifully set table, we started with a champagne toast, our salads and entrees that followed were some of the BEST dishes I've ever had. This team is the perfect combination of professional and friendly and truly made our evening one we will never forget. I highly, highly recommend Pacific Pearl Catering for your next event or private dinner.

    I recently hired Michael for my husband's birthday. He wanted a small gathering, good food and great wine. And Michael hit it out of the park. He helped create a menu to my husband's liking and then paired amazing wine to suit. In addition, he came alone and had everything prepped and prepared and ready to cook in my kitchen. He decorated the table and the outside patio sitting area so beautifully. Served us and poured amazing wine, my friends were all super impressed by his food and the whole night. I am definitely hiring him again and for all my future events. He did not disappoint. Oh and don't worry, he cleaned up my kitchen and left it all nice and clean for us. It was such a great experience. I can't wait to hire him again.

    We hired Pacific Pearl for a small post-wedding celebration and the food was exceptional.  We had a menu consultation first, letting them know we're adventurous eaters and basically put ourselves in the Chef's hands. We were blown away. I had never had combinations like that before- Octopus and Lamb Kabobs...  My favorite were the Sea Scallops though, the broth they were served in (can't remember exactly) was divine. On top of that, the wines they chose complimented the food perfectly and the mint lemonade was delicious and a nice touch for those that don't drink. We will most certainly hire them for our next gathering.

    SOOO GOOOOOOD!!!

    This is TOP NOTCH! Top of the line vegan food catering! This man has so much talent and skill that everyone at our event literally only spoke of this Chefs cooking! I've never been impressed by anyone's Vegas skills let alone restaurant. The Chef is so sweet and kind and really was outgoing while brining positive vibes towards his guest! I can't get over how DELICIOUS THIS FOOD WAS!!!! Forget the birthday girl this was the talk of the entire party!

    We had the best experience with chef Michael. Our younger brother hired chef for his fiancé birthday dinner and the whole dinner was super yummy. Every single dishes were done wonderfully. The ingredients were fresh. We literally licked the plate for every dishes. Chef was entertaining and we really had a great time just chatting the night away. We definitely recommend chef Michael for any special occasions. We will make sure to call chef for our next occasion. Thank you Chef

    We've had the honor of having not one but two meals prepared by Chef Michael. He is a very talented chef who is lovely, professional and all around incredible. Every dish he creates and prepares is beyond delicious as well as impeccably presented. We only hope to enjoy many more of his dishes in the future!

    Mini-cakes from Pacific Pearl Cafe

    I worked with Chef/Owner Michael to provide something special for my office to celebrate all the March birthdays. He worked with me and made great suggestions to come up with something that wowed everyone. The mini-cakes are all wonderful - and not overly sweet and so pretty! I definitely will be working with him in the future, as he makes it so easy and you can't count on him. Do try the almond date brownie because it's to die for. The carrot cake, blueberry crumble, Greek yogurt cheesecake, banana cream cake...... really all amazing.

From the very beginning, they…read morewere so communicative, supportive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went perfectly, and it truly did. The entire day ran so smoothly, and we felt completely taken care of. And the FOOD... our guests are still talking about it. Truly. You know how often times wedding food is nothing to write home about? This was the complete opposite. It was genuinely delicious--like, go-back-for-seconds and thirds and fourths kind of delicious. We had multiple people tell us it was the best wedding food they've ever had. We also had them do our wedding cake, and it was honestly one of the best cakes we've ever tasted. Not just "good for a wedding cake"--actually amazing. Everything was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, which made it feel even more special. We have been raving about TMC to literally everyone who asks about our wedding. If you're planning an event and want food that people will be obsessed with and talking about long after it's over, you need to go with TMC. We cannot recommend them enough. Thank you, TMC, for making our day so memorable!

Knowing everyone would be tired and hungry after the graduation ceremony, I wanted to have the dinner follow immediately after the ceremony without having the formality and structure of restaurant dining nor the extra work of picking up food from a restaurant. I found Party in a Box on-line and was impressed by the breadth and sophication of the menu items with a price point that was very competitive with the other options I was evaluating. Chef Dawn responded to my initial inquiry the same day. She answered my basic questions and provided a quote by the following morning. She suggested further refinements to the menu to ensure we satisfied all my guests' varied tastes. Food was delivered and setup in my back yard before we arrived home from the ceremony. Warm dishes were kept on chafing plates and the other items were covered to stay cool. The presentation was beautiful (orchid flowers garnished some of the platters). And the food was devine! Everyone raved about it as they ate seconds and thirds. The best part was we had leftovers for the following day. Nothing went to waste! Party in a Box elevated my small graduation dinner into a memorable and beautiful event. The quality, the value, and service was world class and I look forward to using Chef Dawn's Party in a Box for my next special event.
