From the very beginning, his presence brought a sense of ease, confidence, and quiet luxury to every moment. Fresh hand made ingredients created the most savored tastes. Better thab we imagined. Everyone loved the food. Andre seamlessly executed the rehearsal dinner, tended bar and hosted horsdeouvres, drinks and canolli for deserts at our Santa Barbara wedding--each delivered with remarkable precision, intention, and grace. His ability to read the room, adapt in real time, and execute flawlessly (even under unexpected conditions) speaks to a level of professionalism that is truly rare.

I hired Pulcinella for my wedding, approx one year prior to the actual event date and while I…read moreappreciate the initial effort to site check my property for compatibility, the communication and satisfaction ended there. I had tried to get in touch with Kym regarding the pizza menu and certain special requests. After repeated emails and phone calls, plus an extra Yelp inquiry to nudge her, I finally got a response. My planner also reached out several weeks before the wedding with no success. This was a recurring issue. I understand wedding season is busy but my planner and myself were not contacted until 6-7 days prior to my wedding. There were other logistical things to figure out and the communication fell absolutely short. I also requested in multiple emails that I would like to purchase extra cheeseboards/grazing boards to have a more elaborate spread. This was never acknowledged so I had assumed I would be billed later or extra charges on my invoice would cover the request. Nope- they ran out of food incredibly early for my cocktail hour and did not even clear the area. At the actual event, I had 60 people and purchased food for 68 to account for vendors etc. There were 3 small pizza trays on a table and they were being eaten by a single table at a time. Some people did not receive food or waited so long they just gave up and ate meatballs and salad. I acknowledge that the DJ called guests too quickly. Not the catering team's fault. But even when he slowed down and people were fine waiting, it was still an abnormally long wait. There could have been a second table or more pizza trays or something. 3, 10-11" pizzas to be split amongst a table of ten is not reasonable. The slices are thin and people started taking bigger portions of sides cuz there wasn't enough pizza in time. I understand that there was an issue with where the "kitchen" was set up, versus where the food table was located (a 200 ft walk), but there was extra staff to assist. Also- this issue could have been solved much earlier and planned better IF THERE WAS COMMUNICATION. So disappointed. When people actually did get food, they said the pizza was good but I've had good pizza elsewhere and that's where I'll be going for it. The star is for the meatballs which is all I ate as the bride. I was one of the people that gave up on pizza since it took so long. My husband said it was good but he also only got a single piece. Bummer.
