Silver Spoons made everything happen, put the numerous gorgeous bouquets that people brought away in the perfect vases, which Scott or his team somehow found on their own without bothering me. They made everything look delicious despite the unbelievable heat, and then, on top of everything else - everything WAS delicious and delightful. The food was fantastic. And Scott Tessler and his team all talked to our guests in such a nice way. It was fun to have them there. We have used Silver Spoons intermittently over the years - for our daughter's wedding in Malibu in 2015, and now again, to introduce her baby to our friends and family. I'm beginning to think we should do this more often - the results from Scott and Silver Spoons are outstanding. After our event was over, exhausted, we came back to our kitchen, and discovered scads of perfectly wrapped leftovers - Steve and I simultaneously went hunting for that incredible mustard - oh, no, did they leave us some? Yes! You left us a significant amount, nicely wrapped up. And you cleaned up the kitchen beautifully! Even mopped! Everything was left in perfect order. I've been enjoying all the leftovers now for a few days. We have already given Silver Spoons' contact information to one guest at the party, who was very impressed with its work. Many of our guests were already familiar with Silver Spoons from their experiences at University Synagogue (now part of Wilshire Boulevard Temple). The food, the presentation, interaction with guests, following of dietary/allergy restrictions - all perfect. We had magnificent vegetables for the vegans, gluten-free dishes of all kinds that were superb, regular dishes that were wonderful - the food was great. And the service is exceptional. Our baby grandson had a grand debut in the Millers' back yard, and Silver Spoons Catering was a big part of that. Silver Spoons did a wonderful job, and we thank them for it.

We hired them for our engagement party of 65 people and added the vegetables to Menu 2. It was awesome to see how they set up early and spent time making sure the food was perfect.

    We booked Martin Fierro Asado (MFA) for our wedding in March because we wanted a unique and…read morememorable experience for our guests. Having Martin and his team cooking on-site was a key part of our vision, so much so that we specifically searched across Los Angeles and surrounding areas to find a venue that could accommodate their setup requirements, including the 7-hour preparation time and outdoor space they needed. Leading up to the event, MFA was great, they were responsive, communicative, and easy to work with. Unfortunately, our experience on the wedding day was very different. We later learned that Martin had threatened to leave midway through cooking, which was extremely concerning. Additionally, both our venue staff and other catering staff mentioned that MFA was difficult to work with that day. While the food itself was excellent, the service fell short of what was promised. Our contract included two courses: First course: ribs, sausage, chicken, empanadas, and salads Second course: tri-tip/steak The second course was never properly served to our guests. When guests returned for the steak, they were told service was over and staff had already begun cleaning up. Some guests even tried requesting steak during the first course and were denied. To our knowledge, only maybe one or two guests were able to receive steak after insisting. We had also rented chafing dishes so that leftover food could be made available later in the evening. However, only chicken and salads were placed out, no beef. We didn't realize the extent of this issue until the day after the wedding. When we went to retrieve leftovers, we found multiple full trays of food, including large portions of uncut steak and ribs. There was clearly more than enough food to serve all guests the second course, yet it was never distributed. Many guests later told us the food was amazing--some of the best wedding food they've had--but also shared disappointment that they never received the advertised beef course. This was especially frustrating since our menu cards specifically instructed guests to "save room" for it. After the event, we learned that Martin had a planned medical procedure the following day. While we understand personal circumstances arise, it felt like the service was cut short so the team could leave early. This resulted in an estimated $2,000 worth of food going to waste, food that could have been served, offered to guests to take home, or at minimum communicated to us. Overall, while the food quality was outstanding, the execution and service on the day of the event were deeply disappointing and did not meet expectations for a wedding of this scale (160 guests).

We had the tiramisu cups, cheesecake bites and a chocolate tart. The arrangements were so beautiful, from the food to the florals. She took my theme and ran with it. Everything looked meticulously done. Khalil was such a nice help all night and Jasmin was the best support ever. She really provided so much support to my mother who was hosting the event for me. You guys book Delicia, seriously you won't have to worry about anything.

I worked with Brooke Kazebee, Director of Events, for about a month leading up to the event. Brooke was incredibly responsive, helpful, and accommodating as we made adjustments to the menu and guest count. She made the planning process easy and stress-free. On the day of the event, the Olive Wood team arrived early, giving them plenty of time to set up their ovens and prepare for service. All four team members were friendly, professional, and communicative throughout the event. And most importantly, the food was AMAZING! Our guests couldn't stop talking about how good the pizza was. We offered seven different pizza options, and every one was a hit. The fresh pasta was delicious, the salad was excellent, and the appetizer trays were beautifully presented and practically works of art. The desserts were incredible as well. After food service was finished, the team carefully packed everything up and cleaned the area before leaving, which was greatly appreciated. This was our first experience with Olive Wood Pizza, and they absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the planning process to the food and service to the cleanup, everything was first-class. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Olive Wood Pizza to friends, family, or colleagues, and we would definitely use them again for a future event. Thank you, Olive Wood Pizza, for helping make such an important day for our family even more special!

Olive Wood Pizza set up an incredible experience at our wedding with a full woodstone pizza oven setup as well as an incredibly delicious pasta spread.

People kept raving after the wedding on how good the food was and how great the quality of the pizza was. On top of that the entire staff was extremely polite and all had a great attitude. Definitely choose them if you want a delicious and unique dining experience for your weddings or parties!

Working with and learning from Chef Marie was a 5 star experience! Marie did an outstanding job of helping us celebrate my wife's birthday by teaching our family how to prepare a delicious French/Vietnamese meal, and the entire experience was fun and delightful. She offered many options for the menu and helped me select a spectacular assortment of flavors! From beginning to end, working with Marie was easy, professional and wonderful. She was punctual, communicative, budget friendly, and provided great ideas for our menu and is an excellent teacher. We learned to cook shrimp spring rolls, gyoza, her magic delicious sauce, Seabass, mushroom risotto, and Creme Brule. Each item was fun to prepare and turned out perfectly! Marie was a pleasure to be with, our kids loved the experience, and she cleaned up everything to perfection.

From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and far exceeded my expectations--especially as this was my first time hiring a private chef. Chef Marie was incredibly responsive and easy to work with during the booking process, which immediately put me at ease. On the day of the event, she arrived right on time and brought such a warm, kind, and professional presence into the home. The food itself was outstanding--beautifully prepared, thoughtfully executed, and absolutely delicious. You could truly taste the quality and care in every dish. What impressed me even more was how much she handled behind the scenes. She prepared much of the meal in advance, served everything effortlessly, and left the kitchen spotless. It allowed me to fully relax and enjoy the time with my family, which is truly priceless. This was a 5-star experience in every sense, and I would not hesitate to book Chef Marie again for future gatherings. If you're considering a private chef for any occasion, I wholeheartedly recommend her--you will not be disappointed.
