Our guests are still talking about how great the cocktails were and how friendly and efficient the bartending team was. With a 208 person wedding there was never any lines are the bar!!

There are no amount of recommendations that would be sufficient for the amount of stress that Jude and his crew alleviate. They've seen and done it all. We definitely leaned on their expertise to get us through the planning and event. We hired them for our day-of wedding coordination as well as rehearsal the day prior to make sure details were buttoned up. From coming up with a graceful solution to reuse our ceremony chairs as reception seating to help meet our budget, to making sure no homeless people interrupted the celebration, and even as far as providing props for the photo booth, Jude was there every step of the way to make sure our day was perfect. And it was. Even my type-A wife wasn't allowed to check-in every 15 minutes to make sure we were on schedule! Thank you a MILLION times over, Jude and staff!

I cannot recommend Island View Catering enough. Buckle up, there's a lot I want to say…read more We had a Sept 2020 wedding originally, so we were part of the postponement crew. We postponed one year so we got married in Sept 2021. I had to move all my vendors, which I did so successfully. Then, due to some unfortunate circumstances, my original caterer cancelled on us about 4 months prior to the wedding. I was frantic as this was a very competitive year due to all the postponements. I started reaching out to anyone and everyone and to my surprise, I still had a lot of options. I got on the phone with Avrey and he was the first person that really put my mind at ease and made it clear that he could and would do his best to mostly match the menu I had already created and work with me on budget that I already had. He was such a fabulous person to talk to and work with; I just felt really at ease and like my opinions and needs were being taken care of. I'm also in the service business, and I admired the way he was treating me as a potential client. I ended up signing with them and the proposal process was very clear, professional, and smooth. Then he met my wedding planner, and she also thoroughly enjoyed working with Avrey and his team, and that was impressive to me. Then comes the wedding day - holy crap - I had SO MANY people come up to me and tell me not only that the food was absolutely phenomenal (we had a taco bar and delicious apps), but that anyone who ran into one of the catering team members was so impressed by them. I had brought my own bartender, a friend of the family, and she also had nothing but great things to say about the catering team. I later found out that we ran out of margaritas that we had premade, and Avrey said great we'll make more. I am still not even aware of what ingredients we had and didn't have, but somehow they made more. So to be clear, his team went back and juiced a ton of limes and made more batches of margaritas, which they were never responsible for in our contract/plans. My parents and some family friends did a lot of the take-down of the wedding. The catering staffed helped them tremendously - again, not their job. They helped box up extra wine, extra food, and even carry it to my parents car and help them load. The food was INCREDIBLE, and it was so beautifully presented; the team was top notch. Your catering team really makes the wedding flow - if they're disorganized or anything less than stellar, so are your and your guests' experiences. I had so many people tell me that this is the best wedding food they've ever had. Avrey is one of the most professional caterers I've come across - his communication is impeccable, and he just cares about doing a good job. Do yourself a favor, call Avrey and book them for whatever event you have coming up. I only wish I had more events to hire them for.

It…read moreis pretty unusual for me to say this, but there was NOTHING Island View could have done better! The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. And the menu was tailored to the bride and groom's tastes. The service was attentive, happy, and always in the right place at the right time. The drinks were legit (not watered-down sugar with cheap booze). And they stayed the WHOLE TIME so if a guest wanted anything more as the night went on, they were there to make it happen... and still full of smiles at 11:30pm!! Truly a wonderful partner for any event! Thanks, Island View Catering, for helping our friends' wedding such a success!

If we could give Classic Cocktails 20 Stars, we would. Words cannot express how amazing Charles and…read morehis team are! He went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our wedding so beyond magical. He not only called us multiple times to make sure everything was just right for our big day, but met up with us multiple times to confirm and take notes, do a walk-through of our venue, and let us taste our specialty cocktails. He made sure he was getting the best prices for us on all the alcohol because he truly understood how expensive weddings can be. He was easy to get ahold of and so personable. During and after the wedding most of our guests came to tell us how great he and his team were. He was even willing to jump in on my crazy ideas to have beer boys and take a unity shot during the ceremony. He provided cold beer to the beer boys and came out during the ceremony (in the pouring rain) with a tray of shots for myself, my husband, and the bridal party. We would book him again tomorrow for ANY event. Charles and Classic Cocktails are truly genuine people who go above and beyond for their clients. Thanks for making our day so magical Charles! *When we get the pictures back, I will add more photos.

His team worked quickly and there was rarely a wait at the bar to get a drink.

They let me know I needed more water (it was a hot day) and coordinated with a relative to go get some.

From the initial inquiry all the way through the event, they were responsive, communicative, organized, and paid attention to every single detail we mentioned. They flawlessly served 180 guests during our 1.5 hour cocktail hour and 4.5 hour reception, and every drink was delicious. Eduardo worked closely with us to customize our signature cocktails and even created a personalized menu that perfectly matched our wedding theme. They went above and beyond by decorating the bar with black bows and including custom cocktail stirrers with our initials -- such thoughtful touches that made everything feel extra special. Their candy shot was AMAZING and definitely a guest favorite. But the real hit of the night was their shot cart and the light-up "Just Married" sign -- it kept the party going and had everyone so excited and engaged all night long! Our guests could not stop raving about how friendly, personable, and fun the bartenders were. On top of that, they were punctual, professional, and made the entire experience completely stress-free. I'm genuinely sad we won't be seeing them anytime soon because working with Eduardo and the entire team was such a pleasure. If you're looking for the best bartenders in California, please contact Cantina Alegre. Wishing Eduardo and the bartenders continued success in all of their future endeavors!

Omgggg. You guys...This was phenomenal!! WOW!!!…read more January 1, 2025 we remembered we purchased a small $12 bag of jerky while we were in Los Alamos at this stand. We opened it in the late morning...the smell...was like firewood, meat and BBQ sauce. We went to eat it expecting typical jerky... you know, probably a step up from typical jerky. The jerky wasn't that soft stuff you get that mushes in your mouth, nor was it that dry, rough stuff you get stuck in your teeth with a side of spice and random pepper bits. It was like the PERFECT pieces where after you eat good BBQ, the sauce smell just lingers - you need a napkin to eat the jerky! It was fresh, flavorful and definitely had a fresh BBQ saucy effect to it. And it took me all the way back to my actual meal with my husband, where we totally delighted in the experience. The barbecue sauce was addicting! No wonder Guy Fieri has affiliations with this stand!! I mean...talk...about...the best. We were able to make our own little sandwiches out of our barbecue box, they had macaroni and cheese eggrolls ... just delightful. I can't recommend this stand high enough, I miss it! I wish we lived closer. I am definitely going to be ordering some of their jerky online. You guys did a stellar job! You made our experience in Los Alamos just amazing. Keep up the great work!!
