Sharing my intial experience after I came to pick up my items, just to find out that no one is in…read morethe office and my items aren't ready for pickup either. Just one week ago I had made a reservation for glassware for a small event. I chose Celebrations due to their quick response time as well as their pricing structure. I was also happy to pick up the items knowing that I would save $150 on the delivery fee. I was informed via email that I could pick up on Thursday or Friday between 9am to 2pm, so I drove about 25 minutes to Novato today (Thursday) and arrived around 9:30am. Upon arrival, I noticed the door states "by appointment only". I'm a little caught off guard because this was never stated to me, but I thought maybe it didn't pertain to me since the email communication I had received the week prior stated that I could pick up today. I called the number on the door, and Kim stated that my order was not ready and that she was not in the office today either. I would have to come back again tomorrow to pick up the items, and that they would be ready anytime between 9am-2pm. Kim seemed irritated on the phone, but I'm the customer who was told I could pick up today. She did say she could deliver tomorrow, but I'm not trying to spend $150. I wasn't upset or yelling, just asking for clarification about when I could pick up the items. Maybe she's dealing with something outside of work, but bringing that to me was uncalled for when I was only following the pickup instructions she provided me. Anyway, just wanted to share my intial impression after their misstatement about the pickup window. Hoping for a smooth pickup tomorrow!

From Day 1 they were super responsive and listened to what we wanted and worked with us to get to the right menu. Our minds were at ease. We brought alcohol direct per their suggestion and they made it easy for us by introducing us to Ron at Andy's market (who was also fantastic). The food and service at the event were both awesome and set up and clean up went smoothly and efficiently. Several attendees have asked for their contact info and I look forward to using them again!

From the moment I first contacted Barbara to cater my wedding reception, she gave me her full…read moreattention. Other caterers I contacted completely ignored my question of whether they could do BBQ and gave me their standard wedding chicken-and-salmon menus when I asked for a quote. But, Barbara called me up and gave me ideas from past summer picnic menus she had done. We ended up doing something else completely different (SF neighborhood-themed stations) based on a tasting we did at an actual wedding Barbara was doing. Barbara also went out of her way to accommodate our busy work schedules. I was really impressed that she met us at our home after hours for meetings and made no comment about our junky apartment. She had great ideas to supplement ours. She suggested a coffee bar, something we would've never thought of, which ended up being a hit with our guests. My only problem was with the pricing, which was vague, and I'm the kinda gal who balances her checkbook every week. I don't think she was being sneaky, she just wanted to simplify things with big lump sums, and it always kinda bothered me. Having said that, Barbara seriously took care of everything down to the last detail like I was her own daughter getting married and I never felt like I was going to be nickel-and-dimed for every little extra thing she did for us. And the food was unbelievable, even by foodie standards. Cowgirl Creamery cheese! Quesadillas made in front of you! Dim sum in huge steamer baskets! Very personable, and very busy, but always gets back to you when you email or call. I wish I could get married again so I could have FGF cater another delicious spread for us. :)

After I proposed to my wife, and we secured the Golden Gate Club for our wedding venue, they had…read moregiven my wife a list of caterers to review. She had contacted several of them on a Saturday, and two replied within hours. Barbara Federoff of Food Glorious Food was one of them, and my wife scheduled the appointment to meet in Novato. Her quote was a little more expensive than the other immediate responder, and I was whining all the way as we drove to Novato that this better be good because the traffic across the bridge is a parking lot at best, and I have better ways to spend my evenings then tasting food. But, I tried to be a sport because it's her day, and we made it there about a half hour early because the carpool lane was open. Barbara greeted us warmly, even though we were early, and gave us a glass of wine while she and her staff prepared the appetizers. After a few minutes, she rolled out the crab cakes while she talked about her business. Great, I thought, crab cakes. My experience with them is usually dismal because they are little more than a lot of deep fried bread and spices. I took a taste anyways, and after the flavors of crab followed by the right spicing flooded my mouth, I began to reconsider all of my bitchin'...it was clear this lady knew how to cook. Then after a tasty pasta dish, she served us tenderloin with pancetta that simply melted in our mouths, and at that point I had decided in my head who our caterer was. After the meat course we talked business; she assured us that she attends the event, orders the tables and glassware, and that it would be adequately staffed. I drove home with a full belly, telling my wife that it was Barbara's job to lose. All I can say is that wedding planning was a snap after we contacted her. She referred us to a 'young baker with enthusiasm' (read that as eager to price competitively) that made a marvelous cake, her contact at Beverages and More had our open bar stocked perfectly at a price that put hotel prices to shame, and all of the table services and servers were covered in her quote. In short (I know, too late), she was always responsive and professional, and her help took out all of the guesswork for food and drink. Truth be told, when you add it all up, I'm pretty sure we saved money because of her recommendations. Crunch time, wedding day. I arrived at the venue for pictures and she already had the troops slinging those god-sent crabcakes and the tables were set up. I showed her how we wanted our table decorations and seating, left the example, and headed out for the wedding. After the ceremony was finished, all was in order as we (she) planned. The room looked wonderful, and the table seating was perfect. The food came out promptly and the service and cleanup was professional. Since the wedding, we received excellent reviews about the food and drinks, and my wife still keeps raving about how much Food Glorious Food helped us plan our special day.

While the venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, Eric was hands-down our favorite part of the experience. He made the entire process easy and enjoyable.

When it came to the wedding they exceeded our expectations. The food was incredible and their servers were so professional and treated every one of our guests like they were special. Their effort and the quality of their work made our wedding such a special event.

We wanted someone exceptionally skilled who could serve a high quality mixed drink, but also do so quickly for a large number of guests (over 200 of them). Michelle fit the bill! Michelle provided clear advice on what to alcohol purchase, the quantity, tips to have a good party (e.g buying plenty of ice, pre-batching the drinks, hiring enough staff), and importantly designed a pair of custom craft cocktails for our party that were an absolute hit with our guests. Summary -- The execution was awesome. Thanks to Michelle's advice our party was a total hit!
