A big request I had was that I did not want to worry about anything and that I wanted to enjoy my daughter's wedding reception. Chenia made it happen and I could not have been happier. The food was great, service was amazing, and Chenia made it all seamless for me. We had about 85 guests and all were very impressed. Last weekend I had my own wedding reception with approximately 120 guests. I can not count the number of compliments we received. The food once again was fantastic, service excellent...and AGAIN, Chenia made it absolutely stress free for me. The BEST!!!!

She catered our wedding in October 2011 at a private residence that was not set up for events at all! We really had no idea what we were doing, and Chenia helped us figure out exactly what we needed (rentals, linens, appetizers, drinks - everything!), where to set everything up, and how to time the reception (i.e. how long for apps, etc). She really made our wedding so easy - the food was fantastic and she and her whole staff were extremely professional and organized. She was there when the rentals were dropped off and picked up and for the entire wedding day from setup to teardown. She paid great attention to detail for everything from the food presentation, to helping us get the tables set up, to ordering custom napkins to match our wedding colors at no charge. Chenia helped us build a custom menu based on our preferences and everyone loved the food. We had several tray passed hors d'oevres (mashed potato shots - Yum!) and two stations. The mexican station had made to order tacos (chicken, steak, fish) along with a shrimp ceviche cocktail that was out of this world. We also had an italian station with made to order pasta with a billion different toppings and sauces. Our guests loved the food! Considering that my family is Italian from NJ and Tim's is from Texas and loves Mexican - that's a hard feat to please them both - and she did! Really - she thought of everything and was very fast at responding to us. We had originally booked different caterers and they backed out 2 months before the wedding and they had no backup plan. We were really in a bind when we found Chenia through a friend's recommendation. She calmed us down and did such a great job and with very little notice. She helped us work within our budget and didn't nickel and dime us like a lot of others that we got quotes from did. We would book her in a heartbeat if we had another event coming up! The level of service that Chenia gave us was really remarkable - she really wanted to help us make our wedding great! It was such a breath of fresh air working with her after so many others that we had asked for quotes, etc. She responded quickly and made us feel like she would be there to cover every detail - and she was! She clearly laid out the cost and what would be included. The day of the wedding, she worked like crazy to make everything perfect. I really can't recommend her enough - she is a sweet, personable, professional, honest businesswoman - and a fantastic cook!! Save yourself the trouble of shopping around - Chenia is a fantastic choice!

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.
