    I can't recommend Antonio enough!!! Antonio catered our wedding this past July in Alpine Meadows, Tahoe and our guests are STILL talking about our food- it was absolutely the highlight of the day for us and all our guests. Our photographer, planner and videographer all said it was the best wedding food they've ever had (and you know they all go to a LOT of weddings), so it was the highest compliment. Tyler & I are both huge foodies, living in SF and going out to eat almost weekly so we wanted a caterer that would help deliver on our big day, and truly Antonio BLEW IT OUT OF THE WATER! Above and beyond what we ever could have expected!!! Our venue had no running water or electricity, yet Antonio's team managed all the challenges with such ease. From the very first day we reached out, Antonio was flexible, accommodating, and it felt like we were always on the same team- he was problem solving for us given some of the venue limitations. His staff (including bartenders, wait-staff and more) were efficient, polite and went above and beyond for myself & my husband (brought us over food immediately after the ceremony knowing we weren't going to have time to eat, checked in on us continuously throughout dinner to see if we needed anything and so much more) and all our guests (doing table side wine service, pouring shots, making specialty drinks, clearing tables and so much more). When planning a wedding, I didn't realize how critical it is to have a catering team who you feel confident in, as they truly do SO much more than "just" provide the food- they were always willing to pitch in and help wherever it was needed day-of, which was critical to ensuring the day ran smoothly. And again, the FOOD WAS EXCEPTIONAL! It was so fresh, flavorful, light & healthy, yet also hearty and served all our different dietary restrictions (vegans, and gluten-free). Antonio went above and beyond in all senses... he and his team had early meals ready for the band, gave us so many different options in plating/ serving arrangements and whipped up 3 different (decently complex) specialty cocktails that we had selected (and he sourced incredibly fresh ingredients to make these tasty cocktails and garnish them professionally), and so much more. We couldn't have been more pleased with Antonio & his team!!!

    If you're getting married anywhere near Grass Valley, CA, and you want to thoroughly impress your guests with the best wedding food they've ever had, hire Antonio. Everything was delicious, timing was perfect (the buffet moved quickly and no one was waiting too long), and his team of sous chefs, servers, and bar tenders were fantastic. The appetizers and dinner were much more important to us than dessert, but Antonio also did our cake and desserts for us: fresh fried churros and a variety of cannoli flavors! Our only complaint is we wish we could have had the opportunity to eat more of his food, but it's true what they say, you'll barely eat at your own wedding.

    Antonio did a fantastic job catering our wedding on June 8! The food and presentation were amazing! Antonio and his staff helped make the wedding memorable. Two months later, we are still getting complements from people about the food. Thank you, Antonio!!

Jennifer is professional and genuinely so kind. Her communication is prompt, and she covers all her bases. Her staff was excellent and also professional! Plates were cleared in a timely manner and glasses were always full. Coming from a service industry background I can be particular, but they were absolutely fantastic! Our leftovers were packed and labeled for us, and we were so excited because everything we ate was too good to waste! We dreamed about the pot roast, chicken with romesco sauce, Brussels sprouts, grilled cheese and tomato bisque for 10 months after our tasting waiting for our wedding day! I still have friends and family talking about the pot roast over a month after our wedding! Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special, and a meal everyone will remember. I absolutely recommend farm to table for any catering needs, our experience was better than we could have imagined!

Thank you will never be enough!

Called and got a child to answer, saying "my mommy isn't home". I get a reply saying my child was in the hospital, so sorry if he answered my phone. Then I get told that "no we don't want to do business with you." So, I am sorry if your child was in the hospital, but running a business have a little more business compassion about returning emails and calls. Then don't just say , nope we won't be doing business with you. If you would have just replied and said we are dealing with personal issues, I could have moved on and called someone else. Instead you leave me hanging until I leave a bad review. Hope your family is good, and God bless you all.

From the beginning of the planning process to the final moments of the big day, they went above and beyond in every way. They provided super helpful planning folders and documents that kept everything organized and stress-free. Their system made the entire process feel seamless, and the regular meetings ensured we were always on the same page and nothing slipped through the cracks. On the wedding day itself, Jamie and Jordan handled every detail with calm professionalism and genuine care. Thanks to them, we were able to fully enjoy every moment without worrying about a thing. They were always one step ahead and made everything flow beautifully. If you're looking for coordinators who are not only incredibly organized but also kind, thoughtful, and committed to making your day everything you dreamed of -- Jamie and Jordan are the team to have by your side.

Diane insisted that we retain the "Day-Of" Coordination services of Jordan Brushia from J Marie Events. My (then) fiance and I weren't interested in using a wedding planner since event planning is my job, but a "Day-of" Coordinator sounded like a great idea. Also, Diane basically told us that we WILL get Jordan because she's the BEST, and we MUST have her, it's not an option. You don't say no to Diane Wilkinson....So that night I called J Marie Events and left a message for Jordan, (I hadn't put two and two together yet that the "J" in "J Marie" was for "Jordan") and she called me back the following day and we decided to meet at The Rind to talk about our plans. (She chose The Rind and it's one of our favorite places so we knew then that this was probably to be good...) Our meeting was sort of an "audition" for us - chemistry is really important to Jordan because she wanted to be really sure that she was going to be right for us and vice versa - So, long story short, it was a match made in Heaven. We signed the contract, paid the very modest deposit, and went on our merry way counting down the months and checking off every box we needed to check from then until our wedding. Jordan was available throughout this time to help us as things came up. Our event did require some coordination between the caterer, rentals, the band, the venue etc so she did that, and we had questions here and there about things like etiquette, seating, reception scheduling, scripting for the band/emcee etc. We emailed and texted and had a few dinner meetings and a brunch or two to get all of our bases covered. Then before we knew it, it was the week of our wedding and guess what we were doing? We were relaxing! My fiance and I weren't fighting or flipping out about anything, we weren't stressed about logistics, we weren't scrambling to get any last minute stuff done, and we really weren't worrying about anything on OUR end. It was awesome! We worked our butts off to make our wedding amazing but there is no way we could have done it without Jordan's help along the way. And that wasn't even her primary duty - she was our Day-Of-Coordinator. She went so far above and beyond for us and we are so grateful. As for the Day-Of, well, I'm not sure there's much to say about it because it was literally PERFECT. As a party planner for a politician I've never really had the ability to relax and enjoy a party, nor did I ever want to, really. I throw parties and I run them and that's how I like it. On my wedding day I was worried I'd slip into my party planner mind frame and try to run things or worry about logistics etc. That absolutely never happened - I enjoyed every single second of my wedding. WE (My husband and I) enjoyed every second of the day and it was because of Jordan. I can't even tell you what she did that day because I was too busy enjoying myself and being the Bride and having the BEST DAY EVER. Seriously, Jordan was our angel and she made our day actually BE the best day ever - to us, that's not just a quote used on wedding decor and bridesmaid gifts anymore. Best Day Ever is 100% a real thing and it can be for anyone! But, you have to get Jordan first! We LOVE you Jordan. YOU and your services ARE PRICELESS. Logan and I won't be getting married again, but we do love to throw a good party so I'm sure we'll find some excuse to work with you again. People, get Jordan. Have the best day ever, for real :-)
