    We used Ranch Events for our 40th Company Anniversary, and they did a great job. The food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful, and the staff was friendly and professional. Everything ran smoothly, and our guests really enjoyed it. I have been working with Bernardo Valdez! He has been amazing! We'd definitely use them again and again!

    We were fortunate to have our wedding planned through Ranch Events at the Mission Bay Sunset Room. Julie Castro was our coordinator and she was amazing! She made the whole planning effort so easy and she was very thorough. Her talents and expertise really began to shine the as we entered the week of the wedding. She made everything come together so well, coordinating with the vendors, making sure we are happy with the food, the layouts, and the overall plan. On the day of, my now wife and I were so amazed by the event put together by Julie. We had so much fun and did not have to worry about anything except enjoying our event with our family and friends. Also, the food was amazing. We had filet mignon, salmon, and tuscan chicken with the duchess potatoes and squash boat. Was very delicious. We added late night sliders, and we also had a grazing table with ceviche added and the guests were really happy with it. Our event was ~120 individuals and we are happy with the decision we made to go with Ranch Events and Julie. I cannot say enough about how great they are and how amazing the event turned out!

    I can't speak highly enough about Ranch Events. My husband and I got married over a year ago, and our loved ones still comment on how beautiful our wedding was. Megan was absolutely excellent. She was thoughtful, responsive, kind, and professional! We planned our wedding in just four months, and Megan truly helped lighten any worries we may have had. It was incredibly helpful to have a wedding venue that provided the tables, chairs, flatware, lighting, and, to top it off, delicious dinner options! We received so many compliments on our wedding food, it was amazing. We had so much fun working with the team at Ranch Events and highly recommend them for any special occasion. You will not be disappointed! We love them so much. Thank you again, Ranch Events!

    Bernardo is the kind of wedding venue manager you dream of but rarely find. He exceeded our expectations tenfold and made our wedding day flawless. Guests raved about how smooth everything was, and my family was so impressed with his kindness and professionalism. He managed every detail with such ease and care, leaving us free to just enjoy the celebration. I honestly cannot imagine a better partner for such an important day. If you want a wedding that feels effortless and magical, this is the place--and Bernardo is the reason why.

    The serves were incredibly kind. They gave us 3 ice cold water bottles because it was so hot out. Their pricing is UNBEATABLE and their food is so flavorful and delicious. I cannot stress enough just how welcoming and kind these staff were to us. I would recommend Ranch Events to everyone 100x over. Bless you all thank you.

    We cannot say enough about the quality of catering and customer service by Ranch Events for our wedding. Megan was our main point of contact and was nothing but savvy and open-minded to our food & bev ideas, creatively bringing them to life in a functional and beautiful manner. We are the third couple in our family to utilize RE for rehearsal dinners & weddings, and year over year they always do an amazing job. For our rehearsal dinner, we had buffet island style food that RE set up at our parents backyard that was a nice casual yet perfectly celebratory dinner style to kick off the weekend. At our wedding, we had a plated & served dinner service that was more upscale (where the waiters bring the food to each person at their tables) and everyone said their service was very detail oriented. We ordered a custom wedding cake from RE as well as a 4' x 2' berry pastry dessert that they didn't hesitate to tackle making for us - it was stunning, photo attached! We a full bar (well numerous bars!) where we ourselves bought & provided all of the booze + mixers, etc. and they served. They absolutely crushed the assignment in all aspects of the weekend and brought our custom, unique visions to life in a seamless, beautiful manner. All of our guests raved that it was the best wedding food they've ever had and that the bartending was exceptional. It meant so much to us to work with a catering company that had many great offerings established but also was excited to think outside the box and make custom items for us. We even provided beef from the ranch where we got married at for them to cook with for appetizers to literally make the meal farm to table. So special. THANK YOU RANCH EVENTS - WE LOVE YOU!

    Company Holiday Party Review: 1/17/2026 I am always so proud and pleased with the services provided by Ranch Events. The catering team was so friendly, professional, and helpful, and of course, the food was so delicious and enjoyed by all at our annual holiday company party! I used Ranch Events for both my wedding and referred them to my company for our holiday party and both experiences were wonderful and full of tasty food (had the Italian menu for wedding and the Christmas menu for holiday party). And their wedding cake is the best!! Huge shoutout to Ramon for making this as stress-free and seamless as a process as possible! He and his team always do everything to take care of the client and ensure the event goes smoothly. My Wedding - Caterers Review: 11/18/2023 We are beyond pleased with the superb catering of Ranch Events for our wedding at El Cortez's Don Room! Ramon was so wonderful, helpful, and professional throughout the whole planning process. First, they brought us in for a food tasting, where they provided generous (full) portions of all food per our selected menu (normal, Mexican or Tuscany food menus)--they even provided us a slice of cake for over 9 cake flavors and let us take home all leftovers! The food tasting for our wedding menu that was provided was honestly the first "fun" moment of our stressful wedding planning process and I enjoyed it so much. For the food itself, it was so delicious and flavorful! I was cautious at first about what to expect for food quality and my expectations were far exceeded. Their amazing champagne amaretto cake is a must try for your own taste wedding cake!! The staff is so wonderful and helpful, and our main point of contact, Ramon, was a great coordinator and scheduled meetings for choosing the table linens and finalizing the wedding timeline, which I appreciated because it made me feel more calm about getting everything in place for our wedding. During the actual event, the Ranch Events staff were so professional, friendly and efficient, and all our guests told us how much they loved the food! I highly recommend Ranch Events for your future wedding!

    My son's wedding reception was everything I could have imagined, and more! Bernardo made sure everything was perfect and went off without a hitch! The room set up was stunning and functional and the food was absolutely amazing!! So many people came to us and told us this was one of the best weddings they've ever been to!

    Ranch Events is an amazing and sweet company! Bernardo is always so warm and welcoming to us. Our wedding was 3 years ago but they still offer a free topper cake for our anniversary every year! (We added raspberries in the picture) The cake was so so soooo delicious and fragrant, everyone at the party couldn't say enough good things! Thank you all again :)

    Omar was the BEST bartender we've ever had! He worked our Orangetheory Fitness event and absolutely crushed it. From start to finish, he brought the energy, the fun, and the perfect vibe. He was so kind, personable, and made everyone feel taken care of plus, his drinks were next level. The whole crowd loved him! If you ever get the chance to have Omar at your event, do it. 100/10 total legend #OrangetheoryApproved

    I had my 80th birthday celebration at Marina Village, Seaside Room, late January 2025 with one hundred guests. Bernardo Valdez, with Ranch Events, was my coordinator. Bernardo did a FABULOUS job from the beginning to the end. He had no problem with talking with either me or my niece regarding the party whenever we called. In fact, at the end of the party we discussed how we became family and would miss the phone conversations. Bernardo had so many great ideas and went far beyond the call of duty, exceeding our expectations. He played a significant role in the tremendous success of my milestone celebration. Please consider Bernardo Valdez with Rancg Events for your next event. We chose Ranch Events to cater for the party which turned out to be a great choice because the food was delicious. The waitstaff were excellent as well. My family and I give Bernardo and Ranch Events a hundred stars instead of the customary highest rating of five stars.

    Just told them that I wanted something white and simple and they gave me this beautiful cake.

    See all

    I was looking for a caterer for a small {50 guests}wedding. After talking to 9 different…read morecompanies, I chose Flavor Chef. during my first call I could tell the owner was all about making my wedding perfect and serving the food my guests would love. Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

    I can't speak to the quality of the product from this organization however I was just driving home…read moreon Rancho Bernardo Road on Sunday, August 23 at 1:40 PM. A service truck with all of the advertising for Flavor Chef Catering was driving extremely erratically, well over the speed limit, and was tailgating me to the point that I was worried they would hit me. I was turning into my residential area with my signal on when the driver of this truck tried to split the lanes and almost caused an accident. When you have all of your advertising on a panel truck, you need to understand that that's just as important as having a good or bad product. I would never use this company and I would make sure that if I ever have the chance I would let people know not to use them either. Driving so erratically that they almost caused an accident is more damaging than a bad meal.

I had guests coming up to me telling me how they quite literally cleaned their plates and went back for seconds. JP really went above and beyond to provide us with the best service and experience. He even made sure we were fed pre-ceremony. An all around wonderful guy. He's communicative, detail oriented, and a wonderful partner in what can be a stressful planning process. Could not recommend him and his team enough.

    I hate to do this, as I understand what a bad review can do for a small business.. but after seeing…read morethe other reviewer who stated that JP backed out of their wedding (who, I'm not affiliated with in any way), I think my experienced needs to be shared, as I hope this will help other couples. I gave JP (owner) an incredible amount of grace throughout the process and yet, he still managed to screw us. It was not a single issue, but a failure on multiple levels. THE SHORT VERSION: 1) he was very unprofessional overall in his communication. 2) he backed out of bar service a few days before our wedding and ghosted us after the wedding without a refund, 3) without exaggeration, some of the food at the wedding was inedible THE LONGER VERSION: The tasting went amazing. Ashley (who no longer works there) was extremely communicative. They asked for 50% as a deposit (which is pretty high) but the food was really good so we accepted. However, the tasting was the only good thing about our experience... 1. He was unreachable for months leading up to our wedding. The company phone number was either not taking calls, or went straight to voicemail. No response to emails. He finally got back to me about one month before our wedding (we thought we got scammed at that point). I gave him the benefit of the doubt despite all of this 2. He backed out of providing bar services a week before the wedding. I knew something was off when he wouldn't provide us with an shopping lists for our cocktails, despite following up. A few days before our wedding, our coordinator told us that his bartenders did not have proper certification and without one, could not serve alcohol (note: this was merely an RBS certification... EVERY OTHER bar service that we spoke with met this requirement). I specifically asked at contract signing if they were certified. Also, JP did not inform us that he was dropping out. I had to text him myself for confirmation, as I was unsure if he was going to hire other bartenders, if they would obtain the certificate, or if he was dropping out. Only then did he tell me he would not provide bar service. Again, this was 7 days before the wedding. He also took 3 more days to clarify exactly what service he would no longer be providing, when we obviously needed to know asap as we were scrambling to secure another bar service Even though this certification is the minimum requirement for many venues, he tried to pass the blame onto the venue, stating that he never encountered this requirement before (how is this possible? As a wedding caterer, he should have been familiar with these requirement, whether or not he met them). Huge red flag. Despite this, I didn't make this an issue 3. He promised to refund us for the bar service but ghosted us after the wedding. I disputed the charge and he finally responded, threatening to sue. 4. He was unreachable on the morning of the wedding. Again, poor communication.. 5. The food failed to meet even our lowest standards. The 50% deposit really had our hands tied and we couldn't back out despite the red flags. As long as he showed up and served food that was remotely close to our tasting, we'd be happy. However, he totally skimped out on the quality and quantity. For example, our passed appetizers were smoked salmon bagels. I'm not sure if he used old bagels or what, but the bagels were stale and rock hard. My friend tried to bite down on one and immediately spit it out. My aunt had to warn guests not to eat them. He swapped out some of the items that we paid for with inferior options (ie: we paid for a fig and honey roll... he just added a basic dinner roll). Guests told us they were confused that our menu did not match the food. Some guests got half a dinner roll (meaning they didn't have enough) The main entrées did not match the quality or size of the original dish we were promised at the tasting. I understand that preparing a meal for 2 people is not the same as 100 people, and there is inherently a drop in quality on the wedding day. However, this was completely different. Many guests attested that the salmon entree was inedible as it was incredibly dry and overcooked. Look at the photo of the tri-tip I uploaded and the difference between what we were promised and what we received We asked for leftovers to be packed but never received them. All in all, I was super understanding and even allocated 15% as tip for his team despite his poor communication. Despite this, the fact that he never gave us a refund for the bar service is appalling.

But more than that, was the amazing food menu. I can't even express in words how amazing the appetizers, dinner entrees were. And it wasn't just me. I must have gotten at least 15 or more guests absolutely raving about the food. One guest even said it beat any home cooked or restaurant food she had ever eaten! And that is not an exaggeration! From the very beginning, Sierra made sure all of my clients requests were met and the communication was the outstanding. Billy (chef) doubled up on outstanding with the most amazing, flavorful, unique and tasty appetizer and dinner menu. You can definitely taste the love and effort he puts into his cooking. And last but not least....the staff! Absolutely the best! And served with a smile! In my opinion this is an unbeatable team. Highly recommend them to anyone who would like to have an unforgettable event with the best service and most amazing food. Thank you Four Season! You knocked it out of the park!

    Quality imagination presentation --…read more Four Seasons Food Catering is owned by the marvelous duo Billy Burd and Sierra Ridenour-Burd. They make an amazing team. They catered a party for us at the The Thursday Club in Point Loma in March and dazzled everyone. When we were trying to choose a caterer we were attracted to Four Seasons by the imaginative and creative flair of Chef Billy Burd's cuisine and by their very positive reviews. One thing that caught our attention about the reviews was that many of them were fairly long. Apparently reviewers were not satisfied to give 5 stars and a paragraph of praise, they really wanted to testify. They felt that Four Seasons was special and they were motivated to let you know just how special. After experiencing Four Seasons catering service we can understand that sentiment. The culinary experience Four Seasons provided was marvelous. The dishes were imaginative, taste tempting, and a delight to the eye. Guests loved the appetizers that were passed: shrimp wrapped in basil and pancetta, mushrooms with escargot, parmesan crusted artichoke hearts. The stationary display had a choice assortment of cheeses and a selection of cold seafood that included jumbo shrimp, smoked salmon, ahi poke, and a sashimi platter all beautifully presented. Suffice it to say the buffet was equally spectacular. Chef Billy takes pride in the quality of the products he sources. The filet mignon for example was gorgeous. The shrimp served in the seafood display were so tasty that they made you stop and take notice. This was a once in a lifetime kind of party for us so we pulled out the stops when we were choosing items for the menu. It's very much to Billy and Sierra's credit that part of their response was to say that and they would be happy to offer some more budget friendly variations. We appreciated their inclination to work with clients to find good solutions to their needs. We enjoyed meeting with Chef Billy one time early in the planning process, but other than that, all the planning and coordination was handled by Sierra. She is fantastic and a pleasure to work with. She gave us recommendations on the initial approach to the menu, on down to details like the serving schedule, linens, and the table floor plan. We communicated mostly through email which was very productive because her emails, besides being congenial, were always clear and complete. And it was amazing how quickly she would reply, usually the same day. When it came to the final week before the party and it was time to summarize all the various emails and discussions Sierra nailed it, she recapped everything perfectly. The Four Seasons staff were wonderful. During the set up time they operated like clockwork. During the party they could not have been more charming and gracious. This is another major point to Billy and Sierra's credit. It takes care and effort to assemble a team of this quality--a group of individuals who interface harmoniously not only with the guests, but with each other, and with other vendors such as the florist. The whole event flowed thanks to the staff. When you are planning a special event you hope to create a joyful and memorable experience for all your guests. Four Seasons is a caterer with an amazing combination of culinary artistry and service craft. Choose Four Seasons as your caterer and you can't go wrong.
