WOW!!!! Continental catering was so amazing. We used Continental Catering for the welcome dinner for our wedding weekend, and asked them for an Indian "street food". They were SO kind and accommodating, and brought us in for TWO full tastings (with guests!) to perfect the menu. The chefs were so sweet, and also really humble with the less familiar cuisine, actually asking my grandma for her thoughts and taking such detailed notes on what we wanted. Also, we got the most amazing s'mores dessert, which was a huge hit with our guests. We also subcontracted several other things through Continental, like tables, chairs, lighting, and AV. This was honestly extremely convenient, and was so nice to not have to juggle so many vendors. Their communication was incredible, the food was great, and just an 11/10 team. So glad we chose Continental for our event! read more

10/10 service - from the staff to the food. They're amazing and so welcoming. Anybody in the area looking for a great catering team, continental catering should be on your short list. read more

My company used continental catering again. Do they appreciate us or hate us? This meal gets 2 stars cuz I could actually eat it. However it's very dry and very salty. I added sour cream and cheese the the Baja chicken bowl to make it palatable and it's actually ok. I'd give it a meh instead of gross. The rice is for sure undercooked. The "taco sauce" however is pretty disturbing as it looks, tastes and smells like marinara. Oh yeah the after taste has a hint of a taco sauce you might know so they obviously doctored up their own marinara to go with a burrito bowl but it's not good read more

From the very moment we sat down for a menu tasting, my husband and I knew we were going to book with Continental Catering for our wedding. Not only were they professionals in their field about food, but they were so personable and kind! We felt like they truly cared about us as people, which only added to our event's experience. They even baked our wedding cake (both beautiful and delicious). We loved talking with every team member!! They made detail planning and organization so easy as well. On the day of our wedding, we felt so taken care of, and got so many compliments on the food itself. It truly felt like we had good friends making our guests a home cooked meal. Thank you all again for such a lovely experience! read more

No need to look any further for your catering needs. Everyone here is easy to work with and they are attentive to your every need. The food is not only delicious but presented in the most aesthetically pleasing way. Especially love their appetizers and desserts and the innovative dessert wall (the chocolate molten lava cake rocks). read more

We used Continental Catering for my daughter's rehearsal dinner/welcome reception a week ago, and we were not disappointed. Our event was Indian themed, and we wanted some authentic Indian dishes served to our guests. The catering manager, Kristin, was easy to work with, responsive, and very accommodating as I changed our menu multiple times in the months prior to the event. Our guests raved about all the food, and their staff and bartenders were so friendly and hard working. I would recommend Continental Catering to anyone who is hosting an event. Thank you Kristin and team for making our event so successful and memorable. read more

We want to thank you so much for everything you have done for us!!! We have been blown away by the kindness and immense professionalism exemplified from you and the rest of the team at Continental Catering. Everyone kept commenting on how the wedding food tasted better than what they could've gotten at a fancy restaurant!!! You helped make our wedding truly magical. read more

My husband and I just had our wedding at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Balboa Park on October 12, 2024, and we chose Continental after tasting their food and interacting with them at a wedding expo event at JFG last year! They were so awesome to work with every step of the way. The manager we worked with, Kristin, was an absolute joy. She was responsive, flexible, and informative throughout our entire year of wedding planning. On top of that, the food at the wedding was delicious! Our guests could not stop raving about the Ancho Chicken Martini presented so creatively in a martini glass. The serving staff was also incredibly friendly, bringing appetizers to the bridal room for me and my bridesmaids to enjoy while we bustled my dress and meeting our guests needs through the night with smiles. Genuinely, we could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you guys a ton!! read more

The food and catering staff far exceeded our expectations. People will remember the great food served at my daughter's wedding. Kristin was very easy to work with. Continental Catering did a great job at navigating the strict rules and requirements from Birch Aquarium. I was very pleased with their presentation of the buffet food tables. Thank you read more

My review comes almost exactly a year after our wedding, having gotten married at The Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, CA on April 22, 2022. I want to start with the fact that wedding planning is no easy feat, but once deciding on The Continental to cater our wedding, Melissa V., our point of contact, made the process just that percentage easier as she ultimately aided my husband and I in our wedding menu and table/ linen rentals with both of us on opposite sides of the country; he in Hawaii/ Washington and me in D.C. while planning our wedding. I also want to ensure I note that due to not being in town for any portion of our wedding planning until two days prior to our wedding date, we did not do tastings with The Continental at all during the process of choosing our caterer, we chose blindly based on reviews and ultimately a portion based on price comparison, but ultimately flexibility in the menu and the professionalism of the business. My review is 3/5 because at the end of the day I remember four things from my experience with The Continental: 1. Melissa V. was phenomenal at ensuring we had all things configured and set - truly, she helped make a huge portion of our wedding a success as the one thing I was concerned with, was our food as we put a big portion of our funds toward food as that is one of our love languages. Who needs floral arrangements at a wedding if you have phenomenal food to share with your loved ones and to keep the hangry bride at bay?! 2. The desserts were a WIN. 5/5! I am a HUGE sweets person and what's better, we were able to pick and choose preset menu choices and add other desires on top of that; I naturally needed the key lime pie option and it did not disappoint. Literally, every dessert item on our menu made me grab a second and even a third from what I remember - I put energy into ensuring I had multiples and any bride knows, "eating" at your own wedding is not a thing, lol. I made those desserts my mission. 3. Our cooked vegetables were hard and Luke warm at best; 1/5! I had a variety of items from our choices, I will admit, we did have a lot of options to ensure our total guest count, which ended up being 64 in our intimate venue were satisfied, and one glaring thing I remember are these darn vegetables - I was a bit embarrassed to have had them served to our guests because they were quite crunchy. Brussel sprouts can already be questionable but, I imagine the ones served that night pushed some over their tolerance. 4. The price point was quite elevated for the ultimate outcome of our menu. I want to note that I understand catering is a business and requires ALOT, which is why I am not a caterer and hired one for our wedding; noted. But the outcome to our bill was close to $14k for 64 people for a less than memorable entree outcome - again, the food was such a big deal for my husband and I and if a glaring thing I remember are those damn vegetables and Nothing else from our main course options, it makes my ultimate review what it is. Yes, realistically $5.5k for the food, $2.5k for service, $800 in rentals, $1200 for an admin fee, 15% venue cost... yes, I know there are fees associated in addition to the bottom line food cost BUT I'm disappointed that even the $5.5k spent on food, didn't result in knocking my teal heals off during my wedding. I believe if your business is FOOD then that FOOD should show up on every level from Pupus to desserts and outside of the dessert, the food did not show up for the price tag, for me. This does not negate the wonderful collaboration between us and Melissa and ultimately the staff the night of! 5/5! Overall, this brings my review to a 3/5. I'd not hesitate to work with this team in the future but I would make it a point to ensure I do a tasting to protect what I am investing in especially because food is such a big comfort for me and $14k is a lot of money. read more

Would like to give a big shoutout to Melissa Valverde. She was phenomenal to work with and everything including the service for my wedding was beyond exceptional. I can't recommend this catering company enough, the food was delicious!! read more

Highly recommend! I truly have a greater appreciation of event planning after our recent experience hosting the after-talk reception for Midwifery Week this year at UCSD. We worked with Kristin and throughout the process, she was prompt, organized, and presented us with options that were exactly right. The contract with clear, easy to understand, well organized and their prices were competitive. She suggested a menu that turned out to be perfectly balanced and visually stunning, which included cheeses, charcuterie, deviled eggs, and mezze. Everything looked beautiful and was delicious. I also liked that they offer their own china and cutlery so that we didn't have to throw away plastic or other disposables. Their staff person Javier was on time, patient, helpful, and did a wonderful job at working with the UCSD folks to present the food in a lovely way. We very much appreciated their help in making this event as wonderful as possible. Thank you, Continental Catering! read more

We had a great experience with Continental! We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing our food was. They also brought greenery and gold vases for the buffet table. The presentation of the appetizers was also beautiful! They also helped us to move our chairs from the outdoor terrace to inside the reception room. They really went above and beyond for our wedding! We appreciate Christi and all the work she did! read more

We chose Continental Catering for our wedding. We did our taste testing years ago and had to postpone because of the pandemic and Continental stuck with us. They understand what it's like to plan a wedding. They are compassionate, understanding, and professional. They have a lot to offer and their food is amazing! EVERYONE loved the food. Christie Radican was amazing to work with. She took care of us, we didn't have a wedding planner and she make us feel confident that our wedding reception would be ready by the time we arrived. My wife and I were taken care of throughout the wedding. I highly recommend this catering company! I would definitely choose them again! read more

Continental catered our wedding, and they are amazing! Their food is delicious, and they were able to incorporate Chinese, Australian, and Californian dishes into the menu in a way that was both authentic and had a bit of a twist. For the one item they didn't quite nail the first time, they went out of their way to find a baker in San Diego who could make Australian desserts. They're super easy to work with, and matched the food stations to our decor perfectly. We'd absolutely use them again if we ever have another big event. read more

I've worked with Continental for many events. Their food is awesome + their onsite team is so hospitable! Most recently, I've tried their delicious spring rolls + got a show with their flaming rum jerk chicken. This team rocks! Love you, Continental! read more

Presentation was beautiful under the conditions! Love how Covid conscious they were for each individual meal package separately. The food was absolutely delicious and many of our guest complemented how great the food was. If there were more than five stars this place deserves it! I have no doubt we will be using them again. read more

Continental Catering has my highest recommendation. Yolanda went absolutely above and beyond for us at our wedding in Oct 2019 in La Jolla at the beautiful Martin Johnson House. Yolanda made me feel so special and attended to my needs. She is very organized, detailed and highly experienced. During my entire wedding planning process, she was the only vendor who made me feel extra confident I was making the right choices by her guidance even though I did not have a wedding planner! She gave great recommendations and was also very patient with us when we chose our wedding menu even though we swapped out so many options. On the day of the wedding, the food we ended up serving to our guests was their delicious buffet menu. Our main buffet entrees were the thyme butter grilled salmon (cooked to perfection) and the braised beef short rib (super juicy and tender). Their cauliflower mashed potatoes and roasted broccolini were to die for. All their food was cooked on-site and HOT. Yolanda even went above and beyond to decorate the buffet/serving area by matching my wedding theme. Her team was very respectful of our guests and everyone was very polite and professional. We got several compliments from our guests saying the wedding food tasted better than other weddings they've attended. We also had a super popular ice cream crepe bar that was a hit! read more

I was doing research on catering companies and this one was recommended to me because apparently the food was decent and competitively priced. It would've been nice to get a quote, but I never got one. I called one day and the lady (don't remember her name, but I don't think it was Yolanda because that name is distinctive to me as I only know one Yolanda IRL) told me she would make a quote for me based on the budget I asked and would call if she had any questions. Never got a call back or voicemail. Gave her my full name and email, too. Nothing. I do want to add that the person on the other end made me feel kinda dumb because I wasn't sure what I could order; this was my first time even looking for a caterer since I'm not married and event planning isn't my specialty. It's kinda hard to know what they actually serve because there isn't a formal menu on their website (just a few seasonal dishes). Also, while other yelpers and my venue say that this place has reasonable prices, that's hard to gauge considering they don't have prices listed--which I know is at the company's discretion--and they don't even have a full menu up. Unless the actual "full menu" is what is on the website. I probably should've tried harder and followed up the next day, but I was working on a tight schedule and another catering company already caught my eye. One that actually gave me a bunch of food options, including dishes that fit my budget. And I didn't have to badger them since this catering company called me--a lot. So I gave my money to them instead; they got more money out of me since my boss OK'ed going over the budget. Oh, well. I hope that my experience was just an isolated incident, but I won't be doing business with Continental Catering anytime soon. read more

I can't say enough good things about everyone at Continental. From Kristin - who remembered all my small requests and accommodated our numerous last minute menu changes, to the chef who made the food everyone complimented, to the wonderful bartender and other staff who served everyone on our big day! Dinner is probably one of the biggest details of a wedding and we felt so thrilled to have it all come together so well. And the FOOD was so so good (we recommend the Italian Rivera buffet ) and looked beautiful, and the price was competitive with the many caterers we looked into. I highly recommend! read more

We chose Continental Catering for our wedding and the food was amazing! This was the only catering company we did a taste test with and we were sold. The Pacific Palate menu was perfect for us because it fit our pescatarian diet, fed our vegan friends, and still had a land meat option for all the other guests. We loved the variety of flavors and appetizers. We've received numerous compliments from our guests about how good the food was. The staff was great and they even made sure my husband and I got appetizers while we were busy taking photos during the cocktail hour. read more

We hired Continental Catering upon a friend's recommendation and could not be more pleased! We wanted a simple menu - taco bar and desserts - but it was executed to perfection and so delicious! Everything was beautifully presented, the staff friendly and accommodating. Just perfection. Martha coordinated all the rented lighting and equipment which was perfect as well. We had some serious weather concerns but all our fears went away because we were in such capable hands. We will be repeat customers for sure! read more

If you are looking for a wedding caterer, look no further. My husband and I are huge foodies, so food was the most important detail for our wedding. Continental Catering hit it out of the ballpark! The food was absolutely DELICIOUS and all our guests were so happy- even the pickiest eaters went back for seconds. They were amazing to work, the portion sizes were great (my dad often complains he is hungry at weddings and he was happy), the chef also hooked it up with sliders when I was starving moments before the ceremony, and the staff was so kind and responsive. Nothing by great things to say about Continental Catering! Thank you again! :) read more

Dinese and her team at Continental Catering catered our wedding recently in May at Orfila Winery in Escondido - what a great experience! The food was absolutely amazing, many of our guests said it was the best food they had ever tasted at a wedding, both appetizers and dinner. The continental team delivered amazing presentations of both food and spaces supporting our hope to have food stations (meat, pasta, salad, yum!). Dinese's team was very professional and worked perfectly with venue staff to implement a high-quality catering experience. There were literally no issues, A+. Thank you to Continental Catering for being a part of our special day and we highly recommend them for anyone's special event. read more

Let's start by saying that if I could give them 10 stars I would !!! They were AMAZING!! We used Continental for our wedding reception, from the start Ashley (Sales Rep) was kind, responsive and super flexible with all our changes. During the reception many of our guest complement us for the amazing customer service from bartenders to waiters, they were all super nice. Their team set up all the tables, linen and buffet and the final result was SPECTACULAR !! The whole menu was tasty, our guest loved all the appetizers: the shrimp skewers, ahi tacos (MUST!) and the sliders were delicious; The best part was that the appetizers were ready when our guest arrived. We want to thank Ashley and Continental Team for creating a menu that had our favorite food, the excellent customer services they provided us and for their impecable set up that made our dream wedding come true! Thanks for an amazing & unforgettable night! read more

Your caterer will be the most important vendor at your wedding. I chose Continental Catering for three reasons. 1) They were very responsive 2) Their pricing was very competitive 3) Yolanda is an absolute professional. I got married at Scripps Seaside Forum Feb 2017. There is a designated list of caterers from which you can choose. A friend of mine got married at Scripps last summer and recommended Yolanda with Continental Catering. I decided to compare a few caterers before committing to them and let me save you lots of time and tell you to just choose Continental. Other caterers were not as responsive and made it difficult to schedule tastings. Many of the caterers asked if I had a wedding planner like that should matter. I was doing it all myself and was going to hire a day of coordinator. For one, Yolanda responds to emails, texts and calls within a day or so and made it extremely easy to schedule a tasting. Second, I tried to get a tasting scheduled with UCSD (they charge for tastings) and they gave me only 2 options in an entire month of December and when I agreed to one of them, 4 days before they canceled on me and wanted to reschedule in the new year. That would be too close to my wedding day so I passed. I called Coast catering and the price per person was 30% more than Continental. They stressed that their food is of a different caliber. I never even got around to a tasting because they were way too expensive and were going to charge me $180/pp for the tasting because I was having a plated meal service. I called Piattis because I love their restaurant. The menu they sent me was so limited that I had a hard time getting a good picture of what my catering menu would look like. Third, Yolanda has done SO MANY weddings at Scripps that when we did the walk through she gave so many good suggestions and recommendations that I gave her a huge hug afterwards. Fourth, Guisseppe bar service is VERY expensive but you have no choice. By the advice of my Coordinator (Amy with First Comes Love) I asked Yolanda to do the bar set up. She charged me a reasonable fee for the bar set up and saved me a ton of $$$. Lastly, I got so many compliments about the food from my guests. They loved the cheese board and mahi mahi skewers and the plated dinner and the tea/coffee service apparently had an awesome selection of teas. I really cannot say enough good things about Continental and Yolanda. I would not have had as wonderful of a wedding if it wasn't for Yolanda and her team. read more

We used Continental Catering for our 58-person wedding in February 2022, and I can't recommend them enough. They were honestly one of the main reasons we went with our venue; they have an exclusive contract with Continental, and we were so impressed by the food. It was SO delicious. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food. They were also just wonderful to work with. Kristin in particular was fantastic. They were flexible, accommodating, and kind. They went above and beyond to help make my wedding perfect. Thank you!!! read more

Incredible company! Their food was amazing and they did a great job at The Midway! They also have great staff but there was one person i wasn't fond of. I think her name was Alexis. Very rude and loudly talked about other people. It decreased the quality of the event because we weren't sure if she was talking about us. It wasn't a pleasant experience being around her and her friend. read more

When my husband and I were looking for a wedding caterer we knew one thing above all else, it HAD to be delicious and it had to be filling. We had been to too many weddings were the food was forgettable, bland and we were always seeking a California burrito afterwards. We were also on a budget (who isn't) and we could only use a set of pre-approved caterers for our venue. I'm so happy that Continental Catering was available for our wedding. The minute I met with Christie R. I knew we didn't have to look any further. We chose to use food stations for our wedding. We brought my parents and sister to the tasting, and let's just say my Filipino dad wasn't all boned up for an all food station wedding since he had only done buffets or sit down (he's old school). By our second food item, my dad was stuffed and he said if we didn't choose continental, we'd make a mistake. On the day of the wedding we had a cheese and fruit appetizer set-up. Our stations were a slider station with bbq beef, shredded chicken, and Portobello; a pasta station with a choice of macaroni or penne pasta with vodka sauce and shrimp; and lastly the most amazing short ribs with mashed potatoes. Everything was fantastic! Like others say, our guests couldn't stop talking about our food (even two months later!). Continental even set-up a dessert bar and a mimosa bar for us even if though we didn't use their food items. They are sincerely the best caterers I have ever worked with. I can't wait to throw another party and use them again! read more

The hubs and I renewed our vows April 20th 2019 in our backyard with about 60 guests. Martha at Continental Catering came out weeks before to get a feel for the layout and the flow of operations. First, she's delightful. Secondly the whole staff, from the folks who answer the phone, to the cooks and servers all top notch! Now to the meat and potatoes. I wanted Continental because I've been to a lot of events where the food was just ok. At a wedding last year, Continental was catering and it was the first time I remember saying wow, the food is outstanding. It was a year ago, and it was for us last week...the food was exceptionally good. If you want you guests to have a great food experience call martha! Joann and Brian. read more

Our wedding venue had a small list of catering vendors to choose from. We narrowed it down to three choices, and in the end we went with Continental Catering. Here are the reasons why: 1. Right from the start, the staff was friendly and helpful. 2. Continental was very accommodating and easy to work with. 3. The food was delicious...so much, that we ended up getting four appetizers and four food stations. 4. Yolanda. We met Yolanda at our first taste test and we were very impressed with her friendliness and professionalism. My wife, fiancé at the time, was looking for someone that could see her "vision." Yolanda was able to see my wife's vision and it showed through her passion for what she does. As excited and nervous Bride that wanted everything to be perfect, Yolanda was very patient with my wife and never once did we feel pressured with making a decision. Yolanda allowed us time to think about the decisions we were making until we felt 100% confident with no doubts. We also have family that have major food allergies, and Yolanda was happy to accommodate and follow through. Our guests were so happy with the service of Continental Catering, and impressed with how delicious the food was that it's been almost three weeks since our wedding and we're still receiving compliments of how beautiful our wedding was. We were so lucky to have Yolanda as our caterer. She has a talent for creating what you envision. I was in "awe" when I arrived at our wedding venue (Scripps Seaside Forum) and saw our cake table. It was better than I had imagined. The reception area was simply amazing. Thank you Yolanda and Continental Catering for making our "Dream Wedding" come true. If you're planning a wedding or celebrating a milestone, then be sure to visit/call Continental Catering...it's an investment well worth spent. read more

This review is long overdue, but I'd like to express my gratitude to Christie Radican and her wonderful team for helping to plan and execute the perfect appetizers and meal for our July 4th wedding. When my husband and I started our search, we were at a loss trying to find a caterer who was a) willing to work on a holiday and b) experienced with crafting vegan food. Upon our first consultation with Christie, we were delighted that we received no pushback at our suggestion of an all-vegan meal. The few other catering companies we met with were hesitant and not very responsive. Prior to us, the closest Christie and her team had ever been to creating an all-vegan menu, was a vegetarian spread. With that in mind, Christie embraced all of our menu ideas and even helped come up with of few of her own. She helped us stick to our budget for a 75 person wedding and we decided on stations; ranging from a salad and pasta bar, to a taco station, and finally a "Southwest" station complete with fried artichoke drumsticks and creamed corn. For appetizers we came up with sun dried tomato and basil arancini, curried black bean sliders, and spring rolls. We loved all of their creations, as did our guests. The artichoke drumsticks were a hit, and we even had a number of guests compliment the creativity of the food, and tell us that they had no idea how good and filling vegan food could be and that would be trying to incorporate more vegan meals into their day to day lives. read more

We hired Continental to cater our wedding. They had the best tasting food and most competitive prices of the dozen or more caterers we talked to so we were extremely happy to find them! They were one of the approved caterers for our venue (Scripps Seaside Forum) and it was reassuring knowing our caterer was an expert hosting events there. Many of our other vendors told us how professional and great Continental was, so we knew we made the right choice! We worked closely with Christie Radican who patiently went through many menu and rental adjustments with us. She was so pleasant to work with and everything turned out beyond our expectations! The table decor that Continental set up for our appetizers, dinner stations, and dessert stations were beautiful and really added to the fun and modern mood of our wedding. She also worked some magic and surprised us with the amazing midnight blue sequin tablecloths I had dreamed of. Our guests raved about the food and all of the staff and chefs were very friendly and professional. Sometimes couples don't get to eat at their own wedding but Continental and our coordinator made sure we got to eat dinner and not get hangry. We had appetizers, 3 food stations, and a dessert station (amazing s'mores!!) that were all killer. Highly recommend! read more

My husband and I booked Continental Catering to cater our cocktail hour and reception at the Scripps Seaside Forum last month. We were nervous booking them because we were planning the wedding from across the country and didn't have a chance to taste the food before we booked it. Catering is by far the most expensive part of a wedding, and we really cared about getting food that tasted good, as we've been to weddings where that was not the case. We did get to do a tasting after we booked over the holidays, and this put us at ease. The food was DELICIOUS. And at the wedding, they did not disappoint! Everyone loved it! We had a cheese and charcuterie station and hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour, a plated salad and food stations during the reception, and a late night snack of french fries. All went perfectly and tasted great. Several guests told us it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Yolanda and the others I worked with leading up to the wedding were also great, very responsive, and worked with me design-wise too so that the food stations and displays would match the theme of the wedding. I definitely recommend! read more

Yolanda was great during our entire wedding planning process. She is very professional and always responds to questions and emails promptly (which was great!) Her entire team was absolutely amazing on the day of the wedding. We received TONS of compliments about the food and a few people have asked for our caterer information. One person said "Best food at a wedding EVER". Highly recommended!!! read more

I made the right choice!! Continental Catering has been very professional and helpful. The service was excellent and the communication/prep work was even better!! Initially, my wife and I could not decide which caterer for our wedding; however, after the sample tasting, we immediately knew that Continental Catering was the one. Christie had been very helpful and flexible on adjusting our menu items. On the wedding day, we did not hear one single complaint about the service or the food; instead, it was overwhelmingly filled with positive responses and compliments. The staff was friendly and the service was superb. I would recommend Continental Catering to any couple planning their wedding. Set up an appointment with Christie and trust me, you won't regret it!! read more

Thank you Christie and your staff for an amazing menu for my son and daughter-in-laws wedding. We went through many renditions of the event due to COVID restrictions but they hit it out of the park and they worked hard to accommodate us. The food was so delicious and they take great pride in their work and presentation. I have already recommended them to another couple. Trying to plan a wedding during covid is difficult but they reassured us at every turn that the wedding would be a beautiful event and it was!!! read more

I cannot say enough about Christie and her entire team. They catered our event and the food was delicious and Art and the team serving that night were nothing short of outstanding. We have held many events, and we have never had so many compliments from attendees as we did that night. Great attention to detail and wonderful service. Made for an amazing night! Thank you all so much and if we ever hold another event in San Diego, we will most certainly be contacting Christie and Continental Catering! read more

This is a long overdue and very deserving review for Continental Catering and particularly, Ashley Beauford, who worked closely with us to design a custom menu, coordinate all the party rentals, and actualize the decor for our 110 guest wedding (pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception dinner) last summer. Our food was delicious and beautiful- much better than the typical standard of wedding food which is mostly to serve for volume and not quality. Continental had a ton of great options from their catering menu but didn't even hesitate when we asked for custom items. We asked them to make a gaspacho appetizer shot with a grilled shrimp garnish that was a big hit with our crowd. We had vegans, vegetarians, and people with extreme allergies attend but Continental diligently labeled all items and informed servers so they were knowledgable when guests inquired about the food. We had an amazing meat and cheese spread for our cocktail hour which they added even more elegance to with their decor. With only 5 weeks to plan, Ashley took care of everything. Our wedding/recepon venue had only recently begun to host weddings and were uneasy about vendors delivering tables, chairs, etc. and originally required a very narrow window for all of that to occur. The venue also was new to the requirements of having alcohol served on their premises. Ashley worked with them behind the scenes to alleviate their concerns and we didn't even have to get involved. We are so thrilled we got to have Continental Catering take care of our event. It really made the day so special and we'll recommend them and Ashley Beauford, for as long as this business is around. So lucky to have worked with them. read more
