Sophie is easy to work with and made requested items not on her regular menu. She even volunteered to make a trip to the grocery store when I realized last minute that I had forgotten to buy ice cream for the occasion. She also had to-go containers so guests could take home leftovers, which was greatly appreciated. We'll definitely hire her again for future family events!

There was such a wide variety of meals that we had: taco bar, chicken, rice, veggies, baked potato bar, chicken salad sandwiches, chili bar. There wasn't a weak meal in the bunch! Everything was delicious, and she was truly a DELIGHT (see what I did there?) to work with. If/when I have another shoot in the desert area, Sophie will be the first person that I call for meals for the cast and crew! Feeding a group of 15-20 actors/crew members could prove to be a difficult task, but Sophie was accommodating for everyone's dietary needs, and truly a pleasure to work with. She even delivered the food herself! Thanks, Sophie! :)

We used Tacos Familia yesterday for a small party-- the food is incredible. We got so many compliments on the food and the aguafresca. (Oh my gosh, that aquafresca!!) We had chicken and beef tacos-- tons of fresh cilantro, incredible tortillas, chips, and salsa. So good I may be rethinking how I do Thanksgiving dinner... ;) Ralph and his crew are fantastic. I can't say enough about their work ethic, professionalism, kindness, and willingness to make sure we had a great event. He took every aspect of the party and guest experience seriously, and helped us have an awesome day. The way they set up with tables and pop up also looked beautiful and inviting. They think of everything. In addition to food, we also used their photo booth service (best I've ever seen). 10/10 will use again and again for our family events.

The food was amazing (and there were tons of it!), and the crew was great -- very positive, flexible, and resourceful.

A great bunch of people, and awesome food.

I reached out to Cross + Swan Events to help me plan my wedding. Before choosing them, I had a…read moremeeting with the owners Jacqui and Sydney who took the time to listen to what I needed in a planning company & planners and tailored a quote to fit my needs. I hired them about 8 months prior to my wedding and they were there every step of the way, with monthly meetings to keep me on track of what I needed to do, up until the month prior where the girls took over and ran with it all. I had the utmost confidence in them and was able to relax and enjoy the last month before my wedding, which can be a stressful time. My wedding consisted of a beautiful venue in Joshua Tree that was minimal with amenities/services included, so I had to hire just about everyone - food, cake, rentals, dj, servers, bartenders, flowers, etc! Cross + Swan did an excellent job of coordinating all of the vendors and keeping them on schedule. I had numerous guests at my wedding come up to me and tell me that my planners were the stars that day, nailing every detail and keeping the wedding going at a good pace with the timeline and also keeping everyone happy & worry free. Jacqui was amazing with my vendors the day of the wedding & also made the most beautiful signage for an extra fee for me (welcome signs, seating chart, bar & cake menus). Sydney was great with going the extra mile and driving me, my husband and photographer out into Joshua Tree National Park to capture some amazing photos after our ceremony. When you meet with wedding planners and they stress the importance of the investment in a planner, believe them - it's SO TRUE. They made my wedding day one to remember - and one that was truly stress-free and the best days of my life. HIGHLY recommend Cross + Swan.

I planned a Girls' weekend in Palm Springs and was shocked to learn that many of our fave restaurants were either closed or had limited hours for the season ‍ . Luckily, a girlfriend recommended we bypass the usual Palm Springs dining scene and order up AJs. I remembered the name and was thrilled to take it easy and let the talented chef - Gil - take over the kitchen of our huge mid century rental. The kitchen was preserved like in 1960s suburban splendor - salmon oven - avocado fridge. Ugh I was embarrassed to present this to a chef, but Chef AJ flashed his million dollar smile and immediately got to work chopping and dicing and mincing in a way that made it look easy. While we were still recovering from the night before, he took is on a fantastic voyage of the best breakfast ever. We soon learned we were extremely lucky to catch him -- no wonder he accommodated is for a morning. Apparently he normally works in Los Angeles and even in the industry, but he is so down to earth while presenting Michelin star meals. Highlight of the girls' trip. Cannot give him enough props!!

I look forward to having you cater my next event.

Five stars, without hesitation…read more Our family was in Lake Arrowhead for the weekend to celebrate a birthday, and hiring Chef Grey to cook for us at our Airbnb was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment she arrived, everything felt easy and relaxed. She was organized, friendly, and completely took over the kitchen so we could actually enjoy the evening together. The food was absolutely delicious from start to finish. We started with the Wagyu Tataki with pine smoked ponzu, which was incredible. Chef Grey mentioned she had gathered the pine needles herself during a walk the day before, such a thoughtful touch and everyone loved it. The Kurobuta Pork Belly Kakuni came next and quickly became the favorite of the night. It was perfectly tender with just the right touch of sweetness, and the mustard on the side paired beautifully. The Alpine Tempura Platter with jumbo prawns and mountain vegetables was so good, it did not even need the sauce. For the main course, we enjoyed the Cedar Plank Miso Black Cod. The buttery fish paired perfectly with the crispy grilled rice and sweet soy butter glaze, and the sesame broccolini was cooked just right. Dessert sealed the deal. The White Chocolate and Yuzu Namelaka was super smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. Chef Grey also made a triple berry cake and surprised us with yummy brown butter ice cream that she made herself as a birthday treat. Such a thoughtful touch! Everything was generous in portion size, which we honestly were pleasantly surprised by, and we happily enjoyed leftovers the next day. We have hired private chefs before, and without a doubt, Chef Grey's cooking was the most delicious we have experienced so far. On top of the amazing food, the pacing of the meal was perfect and she left the kitchen spotless. Thank you, Chef Grey, for making our celebration such a memorable night. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

Our company planned a last-minute retreat and we needed to consider meals while there. We contacted Arrowhead Farms Catering, amongst others, and Nancy came back with phenomenal menu suggestions at a reasonable price. Upon arrival, she was at the ready with homemade breads, granola, breakfast casserole, fresh juices, perfectly crisped bacon, and various treats to nosh on between meals. And, that evening for dinner, she prepared coq au vin, followed by salad, and closed it out with an amazing apple tart with apple butter ice cream--all prepared by Nancy herself. The following three meals were just as fantastic. All of this in concert with Nancy's natural charm and warmth. Even with several food allergies to consider, she was able to prepare mouthwatering meals for all. I highly recommend Nancy and Arrowhead Farms for your catering needs. She will impress and delight you and your guests, without a doubt. Five stars, all the way!

What an amazing experience these guys are bringing to your home!…read more This is the third time my daughter invites this chef, to cook for us, at her backyard. This time, it was yesterday, Friday dinner. We were about 15 adults and 7 kids. They came around 6pm, to set up everything, and I mean EVERYTHING! They are bringing tables, chairs, cover for the chairs, maps, plates, utensils, glasses, napkins, and decorations for the tables. I can not even start to describe how beautiful , clean , neat and elegant it looks. Gorgeous! They were 2 guys; the chef, and a helper/server. The food is DELICIOUS! It is like you are in Benihana, but even better, in your backyard. Very professional, very tasty. Not just this, they do not enter your home, they do not use your kitchen, they take everything back with them, including the dirty dishes, clean after them, throw the trash, and leave your backyard exactly how it was before. unbelievable! After they left, we looked outside, and didn't believe the party we had 30 min ago. it looks clean and neat, like nothing ever happened. The whole experience was outstanding. Such a happy , beautiful an elegant way to celebrate any private event, or just a unique dinner with family and friends. I can not recommend them enough. Their price is very reasonable, and worth every penny. We will invite them again and again.
