She always got back to me quickly and handled the day amazingly well.

We'd highly recommend her for your next event!

Continued success, you deserve it!!!

Every phone call, he offered many insights into wedding planning, beyond catering. Get a pen and paper ready when you call, because you're going to want to take notes. :) We went to the Windsor Farmers Market to sample the food a couple times, even though we knew we were going with them from the first bite. The food was absolutely amazing. We had so many guests mention how delicious it was all night. We went with tri tip with onions & peppers, chicken thighs, green salad, pesto pasta salad, mushrooms, and asparagus. I have never had more perfectly cooked asparagus! We also had appetizer sliders for cocktail hour and strawberry lemonade. They are very reasonably priced and Derek allows you to make menu & head count tweaks up until the Monday beforehand. We had lots of leftovers that Derek and his guys wrapped up for us. FYI, an asparagus, mushroom, & tri tip sandwich is pretty delicious.

Our initial tasting was wonderful, and he was very responsive to the different tweaks we wanted for the menu. Leading up to the big day, he worked seamlessly with our planner and the venue manager to ensure he had everything he needed, which set the whole day up for success. He and his team not only prepared amazing food, but their service and help with setup and teardown made the evening so easy and enjoyable for us and our guests! And on the food-- So. Good. We had folks raving for weeks about the appetizers and dinner, and every single thing knocked it out of the park. Our investment with Sergio and his team was one of the best we made for our wedding and would 11/10 recommend to everyone!

Chacho's Catering was hired for my birthday dinner in Sonoma while staying at an Airbnb. It was…read moreabsolutely fantastic! Coordination and planning the menu was easy. We considered several private chefs. Chacho was very responsive and easy to work with. While he has menu options on his site, he was flexible with requests to modify. He also made incredible margaritas. If you like ceviche, you must have his. Off the charts delicious. The quality of the food, presentation, flavors were all excellent. Our guests were blown away. He was on time and the kitchen was spotless when he left. We will absolutely work with him again. My birthday dinner was special and memorable because of this experience.

It was…read more100 degrees outside and the AC wasn't working in the pavilion / kitchen where she had to work and set up the buffet - and she never flinched, smiled through it all and made sure everything was just so. Everything was placed out beautifully and tasted as wonderful as it looked. Sorry to say we did not get pics of the dessert, bite size cheesecakes, they were scrumptious and I think disappeared too fast! There may have been some that made it into the fridge after we were done, but they were gone by morning - I'm sure they made some late night conversations even more enjoyable. The place we were at for the retreat was Bishops Ranch in Healdsburg and our group was responsible for the cleanup and had designated volunteers. However, the team walked into the pavilion and kitchen well after dessert and great conversations and everything was not only cleaned up, but leftovers wrapped and put away for people to take home the next day. It was cleaner than when we arrived. That was truly an extra gift she gave us especially given the heat, cramped kitchen and no AC...she was amazing. Would absolutely call on KT again and recommend her highly.

AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE!! And at great prices…read more We were a group of friends spending a long weekend in a rental home in Bodega Bay. I wanted easy drop-off catering that would be fresh & delicious. KT was communicative and so helpful in making my menu selections. She was lovely to work with, and payment and delivery were so easy. But the best part: THE FOOD We absolutely loved everything she prepared for us. We almost fought over the last slice of quiche! I wish I'd ordered two of those. We had beef stew with polenta which was fantastic, an amazing mac n cheese, and delicious shepherd's pie. She also made us a beautiful (enormous!) cheese platter and a chicken provencal with quinoa. We also had two fresh salads with interesting toppings and tasty homemade dressing. For dessert, we had an incredible pear tart with whipped yogurt and mini cheesecake bites. We couldn't have been happier with the food quality, ease of ordering, and pricing. I will call KT anytime I need catering in Sonoma or Marin!

Matt and Patrick were extremely friendly and the food was to die for! We celebrated our microwedding in Mill Valley and I have always selected new restaurants based on yelps top reviewed restaurants. I figured this would be the best way to go to select a catering option for an area we're not local to or able to try before in person. The reviews did not steer us wrong. We would love to book again after experiencing the food and stellar service. Appetizers: We ordered the heirloom tomato bruschetta which was one of my favorites! The tomatoes were fresh and every bite was memorable! The goat cheese croquettes were to die for and the braised pork shoulder had everyone coming back for more! Dinner: I'm not a huge kale person but we had an amazing kale Caesar salad that had me hoping I could recreate it at home. I honestly don't think there was any left over! It was accompanied by the grilled antipasto platter which complemented the lasagna dinner we had perfectly! The vegetables were cooked and seasoned to perfection! We had the classic bolognese lasagna and red wine braised boneless beef short ribs for our dinner option which were gone in the blink of an eye. Dessert: To top it off, we finished with the mini amaretto panna cotta and blackberry coulis. They were as delicious as they were aesthetically appealing!

If you're looking for someone who is able to…read moreexecute something a bit out of the norm, or even the normalist of things , you will not find anyone better than Epicurean Escape Catering. My husband and I were set on having pupusas for our wedding, and it was a surprisingly difficult thing to accomplish. From all of our efforts and research, pupuserias don't really do wedding catering, and wedding caterers don't really do pupusas, but Chef Matt pulled it off for us on a whole nother level of excellence! When we originally reached out to him, he just said that they could do it, and we were ecstatic. At our first tasting, he had already gone to his local pupusa spot to analyze the timing, and watch the whole process. He hadn't done pupusas before, but had the drive, determination, and confidence to pull it off for us. When our wedding day came, we along with every one of our guests were absolutely blown away by the quality of every bit of food and drinks that they provided us all with. He was able to find the wife of a Salvadoran friend, and her mother, to help him make them all fresh on our wedding day, on a plancha that they were able to bring. The vibe was incredible, the food was impeccable, and even the Salvadorans attending were incredibly impressed. From the yucca fries to the plantain chips, from the guacamole to the curtido, from the coffee to the agua frescas, from the salsas to the amazing service, from the compostable serving ware to the incredible bartender. People still can't stop raving. The pupusas, the dips, the black chili salsa, the coffee, just everything. Kharma worked with us relentlessly over every tiny detail to get all of it right, and everything came together SO beautifully, and went SO smoothly without even the smallest hitch. Chef Matt and the Epicurean Escape Catering team literally made our dreams come true. We cannot recommend them enough!!!

WARNING to anyone using Mendocino BBQ: Two DAYS before our…read morewedding, Aaron sent an updated invoice with a $500 price increase. He said he forgot to bill us a few weeks earlier....However, our wedding planner (who communicates on our behalf) had reached out to him a month before the wedding to discuss logistics, and he did not mention any price increase then. When he sent over the updated invoice, he didn't even flag to us that he had increased the prices (if I hadn't compared the new invoice with our original, there is a chance that I wouldn't have noticed the price increase). Due to Aaron's inflexibility and the proximity to our wedding date, we were forced to pay an updated price. I spoke to a lawyer friend, who informed me that is a form of EXTORTION. An invoice with a stated price counts as a contract. Aron said he stated "subject to price increase" on his website, but it was not clear in any of our emails or on the actual invoice. It's standard to go by the documents received by the vendor. Websites can change, and I wouldn't look there for information about pricing terms...It is also not the responsibility of your customer to ask for an invoice. If you're late to invoice or communicate changes, the customer should not be penalized.

Aaron was very responsive and great to work with, the staff were friendly and helpful on the day of the wedding, and the food was fantastic! We had the tri-tip, chicken, bacon mac & cheese, roasted potatoes, green salad, Normandy vegetables, and bread rolls. Everybody loved it! The Tri-tip and bacon mac & cheese were fan favorites, and the chicken and roasted potatoes got lots of compliments. Everything was exactly what we wanted. A big value add is that Mendocino BBQ Catering comes fully prepared and contained with their own large trailer so that they do not require a kitchen, they just need a space to park. Very satisfied Bride and Groom
