Highly recommend if you're looking for a caterer that's passionate about food and service. Chef Bruce Finch knows how to make delicious food especially using different levels of flavors layering in herbs, spices etc. that he makes from scratch! His brownies are to die for! Really!! Oh and his rum soaked pineapples plated with delicious ice cream topped with toasted coconut! I know! Mouth is watering, right?

The food was so good and our guests raved about it even after the event. We opted for a multi course plated service and everything was delicious, presented so beautifully and made fresh local ingredients that truly wowed us all. I highly recommend their short ribs, baked havarti oysters, and do not pass on Bruces famous brownies! We absolutely loved how great the team was to work with as well. From the very beginning Bruce listened to the tastes/foods that were important to us and delivered on our special day. Jordan was a true hero handling our event rentals and making sure we had everything we needed for our bar service. Both were very responsive the entire time, and even hosted us for a tasting a few months prior to the event allowing us to sample what we were getting ourselves in to. I'd like to add that we also played a round of golf with them- these guys really love what they do and the people that they get to work with and it was really special for us to gain friends along the way. Thank you guys again for such a wonderful experience and we can't wait to work with you again soon!

After I tried and failed to secure a dinner reservation for my mother's birthday, I came across the…read moreidea of a private chef. With less than a week to secure someone, I contacted Elaine at Tres Bien who just happened to have a cancellation. She was so easy to work with and her expertise was key in ensuring we had a scrumptious menu that would accommodate seven adults and three kids. Leading up to the dinner event, she was in close contact with me to ensure all details were thought through. She arrived with her sous chef Brett and together they worked their magic with great efficiency. We were all so impressed with the outcome as it really elevated the experience making for a special dinner for mom and us all.

I…read morecontacted Elaine THE WEEK OF our event, after we tried to get reservations at a family favorite restaurant, but failed. I completely lucked out with securing her services for that same week (she had a reschedule which opened up her schedule). Leading up to our dinner, Elaine helped with all the things we needed to think of having on hand, as well as let us know what she was able to provide. She also provided her feedback on our initial choices, stating that it would've been too 'rich' in terms of flavors...the final menu was incredible: Salmon, beef loin, brussels, twice baked potatoes, grilled pear salad and three appetizers. She even provided some breaded chicken that the kids gobbled up and wanted 'seconds' (which almost NEVER happens). One of the kids (8-years old) was completely impressed that we brought the restaurant experience to us! All in all, Tres Bien provided an elevated experience that everyone enjoyed to the fullest.

If you have the privilege of getting married at The Holly Farm you will have the incredible…read moreopportunity to have La Crème be your caterer/bartenders/decorators/rental coordinator/etc all weekend long! I will start by prefacing that La Crème + Holly Farm give their 1000% to every wedding that happens at their venue, which means you won't really begin working with La Crème until about 2-3 months prior to your wedding date. The first month or so will be spent talking through ideas and inspiration, likely doing your tasting (which is a literal 5 star experience) and the last two months is where you will really get a final breakdown of cost and timeline. If you are a slightly anxious/overly organized bride like me, I know this can seem stressful. I suggest you ask them early on for a realistic estimate based on the number of guests and events you will be having. And then..add an extra 15% on top of that, and set that money aside as you are going through your planning process, because trust me, you won't want to skimp on what La Crème has to offer. Now that the money talk is out of the way.. the service and food that La Crème provides is out of this world. We had an Indian/Mexican fusion wedding and had all our food and alcohol handled by La Crème for the entire weekend. It's not a typical process where you pick from a list of options based on a fixed menu with prices. La Crème creates every menu from scratch based on the couple and their preferences, and then they adjust based on your budget. Chef Joe and Tamie's team had just a few conversations with us about our cultures, favorite foods, family preferences and then they created an entire world personalized to who we are as people. Perfectly marrying the cultural cuisines in a fun yet respectful way, taking our request to dedicate a bar to our dads and creating the *cutest* Dad Cave with all their favorite brands of Scotch & Mezcal, and seamlessly making everything appear and disappear like magic. Aside from the food being incredible, our guests felt taken care of at every moment. They are not just caterers, they are the people who make sure you aren't getting too chilly in the evenings, they are the energy keeping the drinks flowing at the bar as friends order round after round (after round), they are your partners when families decide the day of the wedding they are coming and you need to change the seating arrangement, they are a familiar face that comes up to you at the reception and tells you how happy they are for you. They are everything you could want, you just need to have faith that they will step in when it's your turn and they will blow you away at your wedding. A special shout out to Tamie, Chef Joe, and the sweetest Soquel for making us feel so special all weekend long and treating our family like your own. We are so lucky to have worked with you :)

Angela catered our wedding in Ben Lomond a few weeks ago. I am not exaggerating when I say her food…read morewas the #1 thing guests complimented! Angela is not only a talented chef, but she was truly a joy to work with. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Angela was always the perfect combination of confident and flexible. She is happy taking charge on menu creation or building around a couples tastes. She was also able to get creative to accommodate veg/pesc/vegan guests and those with food allergies. Her staff also did a great job bartending and were generally putting out great vibes all night. I can't say enough good thing and I will absolutely look her way again when I need a caterer!

I wish I could give 6 stars. Angela's food was amazing - it's been five days since our wedding and…read morepretty much everyone I've talked to who attended the reception said they were WOWED by the food. We had a guest list of 150, and Angela and her team executed this very high quantity of food without sacrificing any quality or taste. We had the roast chicken, tri-tip, potatoes, asparagus, mixed greens salad, and rustic bread loaves. For our appetizers, we went simple and just did the cheese & charcuterie plus shrimp cocktail. I am so glad we went simple and "bare bones", because everything was well prepared, well presented, and delicious. And we still had a lot of leftovers!! Angela was also great to work with - very responsive and well communicative throughout the process. And her staff on site was fantastic - they did bussing and made sure everyone was satisfied with their meals. They also made sure that me and my groom had a chance to eat - which I have heard a lot of couples say they never get to eat the food at their wedding (I was determined to - it's the most expensive meal you'll ever have!!). The price was less than what other caterers charge, but with all the service and additional fees it still comes out to a pretty penny. But I'd do it again, because honestly there were no complaints from guests. And it's worth spending money for good food, good service, and happy guests. I'd recommend Angela blessing for any wedding or special event - glad I found her on Yelp!
