This review is long overdue but very important to me. Joy and her team at Event Savvy are honestly…read morewhat made my wedding reception as wonderful as it was. I got married September 2017 at the Douglas Beach House in Half Moon Bay. I was looking for a local venue that was flexible with outside drinks & caterers. Joy & the Event Saavy team were listed as the preferred caterer. I had no intention of going with the preferred option but after one conversation with Joy & a tasting of her food, we felt like we hit the jackpot. (p.s. she's a total dog lover and she hung out with our pup out in the patio for a while) All throughout the planning process, Joy was quick at answering any of my questions. Her confidence and experience eased any worries I may have had (wedding planning got a bit overwhelming at times). She also offered other tips and tricks to assist with the reception planning. Based off of my guest count and vision, she handled all the seating layout and the overall "flow" of the event. It was important for Joy to have the menu not only be top of the line, but also a reflection of my husband and I's style. A small example of this is Joy including little delectable cheesesteak bites with soft bread and melted cheese in the appetizer menu because my husband and I met at a Philly cheesesteak shop. Super cute...and tasty! I love how Joy takes pride in using the freshest, organic & sustainable veggies and meats from local farmers. Multiple guests approached me to comment on how fresh and incredibly delicious the food was! There was so much food, that Joy boxed up the leftovers so my husband and I could take the rest on our honeymoon road trip and share with family. We were eating good! From Joy's kindness & exceptional food, to the charismatic, fun bartender, to the personable and extremely attentive wait staff, I was impressed with every person's positivity, professionalism, & work ethic. Did I mention that included was a day-of wedding planner? She was kind, effective and kept the event running in the background like a well-oiled machine. Joy knows how to choose her team. What is crazy is that Event Saavy's catering service felt like the fanciest of the fancy but in terms of pricing, it was the most reasonable option I came across. My price included appetizers, dinner menus, china, glassware, chairs, the staff (even the bartender that served the alcohol we bought from Costco) & the day-of planner. For our reception, we went with the buffet style layout. The presentation was lovely. As I'm sure you've gathered by now, Joy & Event Saavy honestly left an impression with me. I hope she is successful in everything she does and I hope to use her services in all my future events.

Literally every person I hired (make up artist, dry cleaner, etc.) would tell me how much they love Kelly as soon as I told them I was working with her. She knows Sonoma well and will get you the best vendors and make sure they're fully set up for your event. She also was so kind and supportive and caring. Our venue was an absolute nightmare to work with, but Kelly worked hard to make sure everything worked out. I'm so grateful I hired her and would do it again in heartbeat!

Sure, maybe BBQ isn't the first type of food you think of for a wedding but after we ate, all people talked about was how amazing the food was. We did our post-dinner rounds and *every* table complimented the food. I absolutely loved the potato salad, the coleslaw had a kick, brisket was melt in your mouth, and I saw a friend almost lick his plate clean from the ribs I actually called him out about it! Mark was also easy to work with and extremely flexible. Highly recommend Love & Smoke for your event - you will not regret it.

All the food was absolutely delicious and they had such a great choice of vegetarian options. I would recommend everything I ordered, and I want to try more of their offerings in the future. I really appreciated my communication with Mary, who worked with me to suggest options in my budget and also was flexible as our event date changed. The ordering process was done via email. Once I placed my order, I actually picked it up from the store across the street, Woori Market, since I had an evening event. They provided plates, utensils, and labels for the food as well. It all went smoothly and I'm very happy with how everything turned out!

It's no wonder they are frequently booked out :) Definitely inquire ahead of time, especially for large orders. Highly recommend, thank you so much!

Fine Catering, and could not have been more impressed with Casey's skill, menu options, and flexibility in working with me on such short notice. The menu options were delicious, and to my delight, not only does Sample This! provide vegan options, but gluten-free options as well. The food and service was impeccable. Casey has a fine team to make an event run smoothly, and she certainly knows all the small details that make it a truly fine event. I look forward to working with her again. You can also try her creations at Casey's Cafe on Main Street in Half Moon Bay. Yummy!

It can be slow on the communication which can be understandable since the owners, Simone & Sebastian are completely hands-on for every aspect of the planning and execution as well as physical being at all of their events. No matter how long in between our communications, they never missed any details and they go above and beyond on additional details that I didn't think of!

Dear Brian: I cannot…read moreeven begin to tell you how delightful the evening catering was strategically put out. The food was extraordinary and the servers were super great at getting folks to "splurge" and just have one more. Oh my gosh, most folks beamed with pleasure after tasting the Beef wellingstons, the lettuce wraps, the crab cakes, those pear tarlets! Some even carried on discussion on how healthy the appetizers were. Cheat A Little selections were really a hit! The greenery/decor made a nice festive touch that seemed to invite folks over to have a coke or a little wine and cheer. We had a live acoustic musician playing in the background, and the whole time was bathed in warmth and good tidings. It was beyond enjoyable, delicious, and great. I'm fairly new at the San Mateo County History Museum, so I don't have the years of experience that others might have to know how well adapted you and your company Cheat-A-Little are to these events. I am so pleased with myself for trusting you. High-five, a TEN, perfect score for you and your excellent catering business my friend! Under the Rotunda the set up, quality foods, and tall tables made it the finest, friendliest, most festive time. We are so so pleased. Thanks a million! Thanks from the San Mateo County History Museum staff!

On the day of our Vow Renewal, my wife and I were running late, and were pleasantly surprised to find that the catering staff had taken it upon themselves to carefully put out our centerpieces, which we thought we would have to do.

The team was extremely friendly, packed away leftovers for us and other guests, and was on top of their game the whole night! Ali was flexible with our last-minute changes, and Brian even drove to multiple locations just to find the same wine we drank on our honeymoon (which was a hit) so guests could partake. We are so so pleased. They were easily the best vendor of the entire event.
