La Creme truly knows how to take care of people and how to make dreams come true. Regardless of…read morewhat type of food you and your guest are interested, whatever style, they will make sure to get it done. The presentation and layout is the talk of the town and we overheard our guests saying that this is the best food that they've ever had at a wedding. Tamie, Michelle and their team is also incredibly helpful in giving you tips and suggestion on how to get the most out of your budget. They assist you with each little step and are excellent with the tiny details in order to make your event truly stand out. We highly highly recommend them and they're a fantastic group to work with.

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 :)

The food was a hit, especially the brisket sliders, German potato salad, and the spice cupcakes! Thanks to Roaming Feast, we were able to enjoy the party without having to focus on fixing the feast!

We partnered with Chef Hyson for our 170+ person wedding this past weekend and he totally knocked…read moreit out of the park. When we approached Hyson, we had some pretty specific needs: a venue without a kitchen, a large headcount, and a menu that was "Persian-influenced." He was ready (and excited) to tackle it all and was very hands-on--he designed a gorgeous menu, hosted an incredible tasting, and led a very helpful walk-through of the venue. Since the wedding, we have received nothing but glowing feedback about the food. So many people have gone out of their way to say how delicious it was, how they went up for seconds (or thirds!) and/or cleaned their plates, and how beautifully he fused Persian and Western cuisine. We honestly can't thank him enough for transforming this night into the dinner party of our dreams.

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!

With less than a week to secure someone, I contacted Elaine at Tres Bien who just happened to have a cancellation.

Leading up to the dinner event, she was in close contact with me to ensure all details were thought through.

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.

Bennett was so friendly and even quizzed us with a Jeopardy question while we waited for our sandwiches. The sandwiches were huge! I got the chicken breast, bacon, and avocado and he was kind enough to wrap my avocado separately since we had a bit until I was going to eat it. Real, fresh chicken! The mortadella one was also delicious. Bonus points: they were so kind to give a huge slice of delicious Oreo cake to my wife when we mentioned that we were in town for her birthday! Will definitely stop here again for a beach or aquarium day.
