I work at a private school where I organize special events for our board of directors. A colleague in our fundraising office recommended I use Command Performance for a recent dinner hosted at a private home. I worked with Joe Thies, Sales and Events Manager, and have nothing but praise for him and his team. He put together a thoughtful menu and then met with me a week before the dinner to walk through the home. He is a kind guy, very professional and understanding, so our meeting assured me that I was in good hands. On the day of the event, Joe and his team arrived on time and were ready to go before the dinner started. Everyone was a true professional and came dressed in matching outfits. The servers and bartender were hospitable and friendly. (Also, the bartender, Andrew, runs the drink program at M on High in Moorpark, so you know he knows how to make fantastic drinks!) The chef prepared fantastic food - my guests were so impressed! Most impressive was how clean they left the kitchen. You'd never know it had been used. I've hosted many dinners before and have never worked with such meticulous caterers. I highly recommend Command Performance and it was a pleasure to work with Joe Thies and his team. Thank you! read more

While the food and service were very good, I was very put off that that due to this caterer being the only option we had at Maravilla, Command Performance refuses to give couples a complimentary trial tasting of dishes (to make selections for their event). I have hosted many events at clubs and venues-and a tasting is always included-in fact they WANT you to do tastings so you chose exactly what you want for your event. However-when they are the only option at a venue, Command Performance will not offer you that trial/complimentary tasting-in fact they charge $300 for the couple and $150 per person added to that. BUT-if they are one of several caterers offered at a venue-THEN they will offer free tastings to those couples. We know this, as our friends son was married at the Gerry, and Command Performance gave them a lovely complimentary tasting. And because we did not want to risk upsetting the caterer before my daughter's wedding, I did not voice how outraged I was/am by this, and waited until after the wedding. When we have another event, Command Performance will not be a vendor we will consider. read more

My daughter got married on Valentine's Day. How perfect is that! The venue I chose to use, usually requires their own Cater Somehow I got lucky to be able to choose my own and I do not regret it. Whenever there's a wedding, there is stress around the Planning. Joe took that away. Anything I needed or wanted he was accommodating. Truly a professional. His staff was top-notch. The guests are still talking about how great the food was. It made our event go from amazing, to spectacular!!! I wish I had taken a picture of the food, but I'll post some later when I get the photographer pictures. You can't go wrong with command performance. read more

We cannot say enough nice things about our experience with Command Performance Catering and Brick & Brass bar services! Their communication, dependability, and attention to detail truly made our wedding spectacular. Highly recommend if you are looking for a wedding caterer. We had tons of guests tell us how much they loved the food and drinks, and Pablo went above and beyond to make the process simple and exactly what we wanted, like personalizing our drinks with flowers. read more

We loved working with Command Performance Catering! Jesus was able to provide us with even more menu options than we originally thought came with our wedding package, so we were able to create the perfect menu. They were very accommodating with our requests and helpful in deciding on certain details such as chairs, napkins, glasses, seating chart, etc. The staff the day of the wedding were super professional and kind towards our guests. We kept getting complimented on how smoothly everything was being ran. Our food ended up being even better than we expected and our guests really enjoyed it as well! The CPC bartenders were also really great and we loved our signature drinks. We couldn't recommend working with them enough! read more

We hired this company for our wedding at Eden Gardens. The food and presentation were excellent, and the serving staff, bartenders, and Justin were all professional, kind, and attentive. Unfortunately, our experience working with Jesus was very disappointing. He displayed poor communication, an unprofessional attitude, and made an inappropriate comment on the day of the wedding to my husband and I that triggered us. While his team provided great service, his lack of professionalism left a negative impression. Wouldn't recommend due to the unpleasant experience we had with Jesus. read more

My mother hired them this past weekend for our Christmas family dinner and party. They came while we left to go get family photos done- and they set up and prepped all the food while this was happening, we came back and they had a beautiful setup In the backyard and the food..... the food is freakin amazing!!!!! All of it!! The mashed potatoes were out of this world, braised short ribs and stuffed Tuscan chicken along with carved turkey. They have homemade focaccia bread and it is sooooo good. I highly recommend them for any event you have! We had 20 people! And the staff that came- they were amazing- I didn't get their names but they were so friendly and great service! read more

We worked with Manuel and the CP Team to cater my Mom's Celebration of Life in early February 2024. The CP Team had a wide and vast menu of salads, sandwiches, and desserts for this event, where we estimated about 50-60 people were there. CP is the official caterer of my church, Padre Serra Parish, and they are aware of all of the rules, regulations, and respect our parish. The food was delicious; the staff was professional, courteous, and thorough, and they decorated amazingly, for the memorial lunch. read more

Command Performance really knocked it out of the park at the ribbon cutting event for Calabasas Cadillac this evening beautiful fresh food with outstanding presentations served be attentive professionals. The bar went the extra mile to please- thank you to Jean Carlo for my special cocktail. such a pleasant even. Bobby Brown of Somis. read more

Command Performance catered my wedding at Eden Gardens and it was an amazing experience. The food was delicious! My guests had nothing but good things to say about the food and customer service. The presentation of the food was beautiful! The process leading up to the wedding was organized and great. I worked with Jesus on the food and details and he was amazing to work with. I highly appreciate all of his recommendations and expertise. read more

The food was amazing! Everything was on point and my wedding guests couldn't stop talking about it. Aside from that, the service was top tier from the Catering Manager to the bartender and waitstaff. Communication leading up to the event was very open. The catering manager Manuel never left me feeling like things weren't clear. Not only that, he was very flexible and accommodating to our needs/wants. If your venue has Command Performance as their caterer or preferred caterer, you will be sure to have great food and service. And if you have the option to choose your own, definitely choose Command Performance! Thank you guys for being part of our beautiful night! read more

Think twice before booking their services! We had our wedding cancelled due to Covid restrictions and these people stole our $1000 deposit and refuse to have any reasonable conversation on how we can get it back. They keep pointing us back to our wedding venue, while the wedding venue keeps pointing us back at Command Performance Catering. To say we have been getting the runaround is an understatement. The wedding venue (Hartley Botanica) has already been ordered by a judge to refund all deposits, due to impossibly of performance, which they reluctantly are refunding. We had absolutely no services rendered by Command Performance - no tastings or prep was done. They refuse to even give us the amount we paid in food, which we thought was a reasonable request. I DO NOT RECOMMEND them to anyone! Very unprofessional and no empathy for us! We are just another customer that they can check off the list. read more

We got married at the Camarillo Ranch on April 27th, 2024, and Command Performance handled the catering. We had so much fun at the wedding showcase picking out the food, and it was very helpful with making our final selections. The day of our wedding, our guests absolutely raved about the food!! I'm always worried that quality will go down with catered events because they make such big quantities, but that was not the case at all. Command Performance had the most delicious food, and we were thrilled. I wish I could've eaten more the day of the wedding, but I was a little too nervous. Manuel was our caterer and he was a little brusk at the beginning of this process, but overall very nice and professional. He made all the necessary changes we asked for in the end and everything turned out perfectly. read more

My nephew got married last weekend at Hartleys, and I was beyond impressed with the food, bar, and elegant touches Command Performance Catering created. With over 100 people at an elegant sit down dinner every dish they made was spectacular. Highly recommend! read more

Keith at Command Performance Catering is truly the MVP of our wedding! Our venue only allows Command to service the venue (Maravilla) and we were a bit worried that since we didn't get to chose our caterer, it was a toss up on how the food would be, but they absolutely crushed it! Keith was not only on top of everything, but he was incredibly creative and willing to try things out so that our food and drink menu were tailored specifically to us as a couple. He was able to have the bar perfectly mimic my favorite drink for a restaurant in Malibu and make my dream come true - a bread bar during cocktail hour. They are fantastic and Keith was amazing! read more

Pablo and his team executed perfectly exactly what we had planned for our wedding. We were a little unsure about doing an Indian menu with an all-purpose catering company deep in the valley but the tasting appointment completely set our unfounded concerns to rest - the food was on point and Pablo was super attentive and helpful as we went through the food and rentals. It was sometimes a little hard going back and forth via email, but the event itself was so good that tons of guests praised the food at our wedding specifically. We also went with their partner company, Brick and Brass, for bar catering. We had some pretty specific requests and details for the team to deliver on - totally made up specialty menu drinks, mix and match hard alcohol from their standard packages, etc. Again - the team knocked it out of the park, and the bartenders who worked our wedding that night were very sweet. P.S. We found the catering team's photo booth snapshots in our album, they cracked us UP read more

Awful. Manny does whatever he wants, thinks he knows everything, and lies straight to your face. The bartenders drank our alcohol and were throwing up on site in front of our guests. Terrible. If I never use Command Performance again, I'd be happy. read more

Justin, Trevor, Bree and team- I am so thankful for your consistent hard work and dedication to make our events seamless, delicious, and provide wonderful service and top notch communication. For the last wedding we worked together we had a a complete flip (with nothing pre-set at all) from ceremony to reception. And command more than delivered! Trevor thank you for allowing us to lean on you, without fail, love working with Command, after all these years! Schedule a tasting, Command is the best! Run don't walk! They will be booked up for 2022! - thankful for you, Blaire Kimball Design read more

Ok, I'm from LA, land of the foodies. I was terrified of having "wedding chicken" at our wedding. Command blew us out of the water. We just had them for our 8.14.21 wedding at Maravilla Gardens. They were phenomenal. For appetizers we had stuffed mushrooms, shrimp tacos, and sliders, and for dinner we had caper salmon, jalapeño Mac and cheese and the chimichurri tri tip. I want my wedding meal All over again it was so delicious read more

We just had our Christmas party at M on high street and it was catered by Command catering. First I can't say enough about Ryan and his team mates. I was so impressed by how they took care of us. The food was excellent and I was very impressed. M restaurant is a wonderful place to have a holiday party. A big shout out to Sam the bartender. If you need a place for a party this is for you! read more

We worked with Pablo and CPC through Hartley Botanica. The food was incredible. We got married on 11/11 and the guests are still talking about our appetizers and dinner. Everything was so tasty which is what I always worried about with wedding food. What we really loved was how easy it was because it's a one stop shop. The attention to detail really made things great. The buffet was laid out beautifully. They provide a refreshment table for guests before the ceremony and the big hit was the coffee station at the reception! The guests LOVED that the coffee was available from the start of the reception and that they provided cookies! We got our rentals from them as well and the whole reception looked perfect. Very very happy with their service! read more

Command performance catered our wedding in September, and all of our guests absolutely loved the food and cocktails. Joe was great with planning everything and answering all of our questions. We were very happy with the results and all the staff the day of. We still get messages from guests about how to make Joe's Eastside cocktail. Thank you!! -Kristin & Devan read more

One of the biggest fears I had is that my guests left unhappy with the food provided at our wedding. I can assure you, that for our wedding at the Hartley Botanica (also a fantastic location) we heard from all the guests how good the appetizers and the food was, including the waiters and the attentiveness of the staff there. We chose the buffet option as we wanted our guests to get up and interact with each other, and have the option to explore the beautiful venue as well. I can reassure you, all of our guests said that the food was one of the best they've ever had. I was initially worried about the fact that Command and Hartley have a very exclusive relationship, but I can reassure you, if I were to pick between different caterers, despite the exclusivity of Command and Hartley, you absolutely cannot go wrong. The staff are fantastic, the food is hot and delicious, and my only regret as the groom is that I didn't have more time to enjoy the buffet we provided our guests. Cheers to Command Performance, and I hope to choose them again for other events that we choose to have in the future! read more

Command Performance prepared the best wedding meal I've ever had!! It was simply delicious, the salads were actually cold and the hot food, such as Mac-n-cheese, potatoes, chicken with a yummy sauce and tri-tip was hot! Everyone came up to me and commented on the food and the service was fast, the bartenders were all nice - we just had the BEST TIME!!! The dessert, apple pie, cherry pie and pecan pie with vanilla ice cream were to die for!!! So much better than wedding cake! read more

The caterer at our wedding venue was Command Performance Catering. Fortunately, my husband and I had attended two weddings in the past who used CPC, so we knew the food would be amazing. CPC did not let us down. We booked our wedding venue at a time when it had just been renovated, so we got a great deal on our catering package. Since we booked the package in 2009, the prices have increased dramatically. Also, CPC pricing at other venues in the area is a lot more expensive. Luckily, we booked at the perfect time. We paid for most of our wedding and were pleased with the quality of food. Also, CPC supplied bartenders for our wedding. We provided the alcohol. The downside of CPC is that they did not offer a private food tasting to us because they provided a tasting at our venue's annual showcase. Given we had their food at two weddings in the past, it was not the end of the world to us. However, my parents would have liked to sample the food we chose before the wedding. We were all able to attend the annual showcase, but CPC chose to provide food that was on the higher end of their menu with regard to pricing. We were disappointed that they did not serve a larger variety of food at the showcase. Additionally, CPC would not accept our credit card as a form of payment, so we had to write them a check shortly before our wedding day. We were hoping to use our credit card to earn points, so we were disappointed with that as well. Despite a few disappointments, my husband and I were pleased with CPC overall. The pricing was more affordable than any other site's caterer that I researched in the area, and the service on our wedding day was exceptional. After the ceremony, CPC staff made sure to approach our bridal party with a tray of drinks and appetizers. Our guests raved about the food, and although we only got a few bites during the reception, CPC made sure to pack us a doggy bag to take home and enjoy when the wedding ended. We ate the leftovers the next day, and they were delicious. We highly recommend Command Performance Catering for any occasion! read more

I loved these guys. The rep (Trevor) I had was patient, organized, friendly and very helpful. I had a great experience tasting their food at an open house for Hartley Botanica in Somis and could not wait to have their food at the wedding. They got everything I asked for on the menu and had no problems making substitutions for the wedding or rehearsal food. The hors d'oeuvres passed around were awesome and their staff was friendly. I really wish I could have had more of the stuffed mushrooms because those were FANTASTIC. I would love to use these guys again if I have an event to plan. read more

We hired Command Performance Catering for our business Grand Opening event in October 2017. The food was not only outstanding but the presentation, service and attention to detail was impeccable. Manuel Oscobedo was our key contact for our Grand Opening event and he was extremely thorough throughout the entire process. He took a true interest in making our day special - providing excellent guidance, communication, and direction. In short, we felt extremely supported with Manuel's service. The day of our Grand Opening event, Manuel and his staff arrived promptly, set up efficiently and beautifully, and made our vision come to life. They made sure to keep all food presentations full and beautiful throughout the night. Food was superb, the bar was fantastic, and our guests were extremely pleased. We will definitely make sure to use Command Performance Catering again. read more

My wife and I used Command Performance for our wedding at Camarillo Ranch House. The food was excellent, we did the buffet style. Multiple guests told us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Manuel was great to work with. The few reasons we give them four stars instead of five are: 1. We asked the staff to serve the buffet guests because of COVID and when we looked over everyone was serving themselves. 2. Command Performance told us if we tipped the bartender they would not put a tip jar out which we wanted and agreed to. However a tip jar was still put out. 3. We warned them we had a young guest crowd and lots of people would be at the bar and did not want a line. We were told we needed over 150 guests to have two bartenders which we did not have. We ended up having a line the whole time and they had to pull another server to help. Overall it was a great experience and we would recommend! read more

Manuel and his team were incredible. They did an amazing job serving our large wedding. Communication was prompt and smooth from day one. Offerings and expectations were clear, and setup/cleanup was timely and professional. We'd gladly work with them again! read more

The food was good for our wedding but leading up to the wedding there was zero communication with us to check in after our meeting to look at dinnerware and get the food lists. We decided at the last minute without any guidance. We chose items from the list we were given and based off of the showcase. We chose the chicken piccata based on the description. My husband is gluten free and we had specified in our details about allergies. We didn't find out until we were served that it had gluten in it!!? My dish was wrong as well..served chicken when I am pescatarian...details were very much missed. They only served the sheet cake to our guests and no one served the two tier wedding cake after we cut it to anyone. We wanted close family to at least be served! So we went home with the entire wedding cake. The bartender was amazing. The food was good. We just felt a bit neglected overall and that's a lot of money to spend to feel that way. read more

Absolutely amazing food service! So many people at our wedding said that before they even sat down for dinner, they would have been completely happy just getting full on the appetizers. We got the most compliments on the Marsala Mushroom Fettuccini, it was amazing! Their selection of vegan options was very impressive and they were extremely compensating. Bree and her team were very patient and kind with all of our requests and all of the guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about the staff. They made it possible for us to have an awesome, magical evening surrounded by friends and family. Thank you Command Performance! read more

Command Performance Catering catered food for my wedding at Gerry Ranch in September 2022, and it was a total hit! Leading up to the event, Charmaine and Dylan were very communicative, keeping us in the loop and answering all our questions along the way. Our guests LOVED the food and are still raving about it. If Command Performance is an option for your catering, I definitely recommend! read more

Command Performance is an amazing catering company. They catered our wedding this past December. Manuel was super helpful, and he never got tired of all my questions! The food is also amazing. All of our guests commented on how delicious it was. You can't go wrong picking them for your event or wedding! read more

Went to a wedding last month and Command Performance Catering did the food. It was absolutely delicious. There was filet mignon, vegan raviolis & fish. I had the filet and I was shocked how large a piece and very tender. Absolutely delicious very very impressive. The coordinator was Melanie Lavallee. What a great job she did!! I would highly recommend this company. read more

My husband and I talked with over 10 caterers before hiring Command Performance. Breeanna Holliday is sooo nice and helpful. Not only is she very communicative but she is flexible in helping you achieve the menu of your dreams. Stop looking for a caterer and hire them. You don't need to look any further. Even 7 weeks later, our guests have not stopped gushing about how amazing the food was. It was beyond our expectations and we couldn't be happier. Food is so important at a wedding and they killed it. Hire them. We would do it a million times over. You won't be disappointed. Trust me. read more

Command Performance Catering provided the catering services at our wedding. Jesus, the sales and event manager, was very responsive by email and phone, and patiently took the time to answer our questions about the menu selection and alcohol packages. We frequently corresponded about menu changes and diet accommodations, the guest seating arrangement, and furniture rentals for our cocktail hour and reception. Jesus adjusted to these multiple changes in the meals and rentals in a timely manner in the months leading up to our wedding. The h'orderves and buffet meal received plenty of compliments from our guests, and the wait staff was very attentive to the guests' needs. read more

Command Performance Catering did the catering for our wedding at Hartley Botanica. The food was excellent and I really enjoyed working with Justin. I wanted something different and they provided us with beautiful wooden tables that just made our reception space. They have a wide selection of linens and placed a small spring in the napkins which complemented our centerpieces beautifully. I highly recommend them!

This review is way overdue! Melanie was our caterer coordinator for our wedding and wow, what an amazing job she did! All the food we ordered was amazing, and all our guests were blown away by how good the food was. Melanie was so accommodating and patient with All our wishes and indecisiveness. She's also very quick with her email reply, which is amazing because during wedding planning, you go kinda nuts with anxiety. They have biodegradable plates and utensils as well so ask for them! read more
