Nightmare to work!!!!at least how it felt for me. Now , two days after I celebrated my daughter's Bat Mizvah of 135 people with Bekker's catering I see again what a nightmare Continental was to deal with. Just don't. Seriously. When I called Continental, they didn't come back to me. When my friend who speaks with no accent called, she was answered right away. At the day of the first appointment, few minutes before the meeting started, Ashley from Continental, emailed us that she has a terrible headache and moving the meeting one hour later. They give us another lady who printed us menu with no prices or description. Just names of the dishes. No price on the website either. Then Ashley appeared, she shakes hands with my friend and spoke entire time to her, as if I was not existing. She was answering only my friend at the beginning. Then she asked me- wrote very precisely what I wanted and promised to have a contract proposal done by tomorrow . She did it three days after. It was highly priced. When I had questions to her regarding the contract, we got automatic reply that she is out of office. Later, my friend contacted her with questions and she answered, very briefly, with Cc to party planner who I did not hire at that moment. No confidentiality . Ashley was not ready to go even one cent down of the contract, just up. Overall and honestly, I think this service is very picky about their clients and I got such treatment for arbitrary reasons. I decided to select other cater and not pursue Continental further. I do think if they like you they are totally capable giving you a tasty food and good service. read more

The team at CC are wonderful to work with! They produce amazing menus coupled with engaging presentations. When my clients have budget constraints, they always find solutions that impress our guests. When our clients want the moon and stars, they know how to create one-of-a-kind experiences. Fun, yet professional, they are super easy to work with and always deliver. read more

This was one of the approved catering vendors for our wedding at the Scripps Seaside forum and we are so happy to have chosen them! Yolanda has been so patient and responsive with our requests and everything went by smoothly. The buffet line set up was so beautiful and all the staff were extremely responsible! We had so many guests tell us that the food was one of the best they had at weddings. Thank you! read more

We had a great experience hiring them for our wedding at Martin Johnson's House. Our main contact, Kristin, was very responsive to our input and she built a menu to our liking. We had Mexican/Californian buffet-style food at our wedding and it tasted as great as what we had gotten during the private tasting. We would definitely recommend them again for another event, and they are probably the best food vendor for MJH out of the ones that you can pick there. read more

We were lucky enough to use Continental for both my bridal shower and my wedding. Our guests raved about the food! Usually wedding food can be kind of dull and boring. Not my wedding! We had juicy lemon chicken and fall apart short rib, the creamiest mashed potatoes and even a mac n cheese bar! Everyone absolutely loved the food! I would highly recommend continental for any catering needs. Ask for Martha! She was the best :) read more

Thank you so much for making my husband's 120+ person retirement party a success! The food was amazing, the bartenders were pros, and the logistics were smooth. I definitely recommend Continental Catering. read more

We couldn't be more thrilled with Continental Catering!!! They catered our charity event on the USS Midway Museum, and everyone is raving about the food! Christie made everything easy from start to finish. Her staff was nice and professional, and they had a beautiful setup. It's definitely a company you can trust because they let us know they need to send us a check because we accidentally overpaid. We're so glad we went with Continental Catering!! :-) read more

Excellent service from planning, execution, and clean up. All our wedding guest LOVED the food. The coordinator, wait staff, and bar tenders did an amazing job. Shout out to Arthur who took excellent care of the bridal party and family. Thanks for the awesome service and making our daughter and son in law's wedding so special. read more

We had the pleasure of working with Christie from Continental catering for our wedding this summer. I planned our wedding from out of state and Christie always made sure to accommodate a meeting with us while I was in town. We had multiple tastings at her suggestion to ensure we got the menu just right. She had helpful suggestions throughout the process and worked within our budget. We got so many compliments on the food in the weeks after our wedding. Christie and her team truly made our wedding come to life and we could not recommend Continental more highly! read more

My wife , Elizabeth, and I love Indian food so much that we try to find local Indian restaurants in every city, even when we travel to Europe. It is definitely our favorite. So when the time came to pick out the food for our wedding reception the decision was already made. It simply had to be Indian. Well we thought it would be simple, but most hotels, event spaces and caterers simply did not offer Indian food, or lacked confidence in their ability to do so. That was until we went into The Don Room, at the El Cortez in Downtown San Diego, and were shown a sample menu from Continental Catering. Wow! Not only were they able to make Indian food without excuses, they had already prepared a menu for us with some of their most popular dishes. So we booked The Don Room, and and then set up an appointment for a tasting with Continental Catering. When we showed up for our tasting we were greeted by our enthusiastic host, Yolanda Meza. She had been very helpful and eager to work with us since the first phone call. We were then overwhelmed to find out that they had not only provided everything on our list to taste, but they were giving us full portions of each dish as opposed to just small samples. We wondered if we should call in some friends to help! All the food was great, and everything was explained in full detail. The chef came out and listened to our suggestions for some other dishes and some very obsessive spice changes. He was extremely gracious and said he would have no problem giving us our perfect customized menu. The food and service at our wedding was amazing. Everyone loved it so much. And we were amazed at how the Continental Catering staff not only took great care of us but made sure our guests were happy. It appeared to be a very well-run and smooth operation. My wife and I cannot more highly recommend Continental Catering. Take it from a Baby Sitar playing Wizard, they are magic! Greg Vaughan Liz And The Wiz read more

I'd rate CC 10/5 stars if I could. Martha and the staff did an absolutely incredible job with our wedding. The presentations and food were top notch. We received scores of compliments on the food, presentation, bartending and staff. The price was competitive with several other local catering companies as well. They are the best and I highly recommend them. read more

We worked with Yolanda for our wedding! We felt so happy and lucky to find continental catering. We have tried six appetizers and four courses during tasting. And we were so surprised at the high quality of their food. I'm working on UCSD campus, most of catering I tried were disappointing. But continental catering is definitely an exception! The salmon skin is so crispy, and the steak has a rich flavor. So I asked the chef if he can do the same quality for 70 guests, and the answer is yes! Definitely he did it during the wedding! Additionally, we would give a special thank you to Yolanda. She asked me the decor and theme of our wedding, and designed a very nice buffet table. She is professional, considerable and shows great enthusiasm to our wedding. During the wedding, she was so sweet to give me a plate of appetizers since I have no time to eat. Strongly recommend continental catering! read more

2017 Review I have worked with Continental Catering several times before so when our company was planning our Corporate Open House, I knew just who to contact! The entire process went very well from start to finish. I worked with Christie Radican for the planning and she is so wonderful to work with! She is thorough, has an exceptional eye for detail, and always responded promptly. She also was able to give great recommendations as far as layout, menu, and other options were concerned. She really listened to our needs and was able to offer helpful suggestions along the way. The day of the event was perfect! The Continental staff members were professional, friendly, and provided excellent service. Everyone was very impressed with the food, decor, and service! I highly recommend using Contintanetial Catering for your event! 2018 Review Continental Catering does it again! Going with Continental Catering for our second annual company Open House made the planning stress free! Christie Radican and Yolanda Meza handled all the logistics and were always very responsive and able to offer great suggestions along the way. Day-of, the staff was friendly and professional. Our guests kept commenting how nice the presentation was and how delicious the food was! All staff members were wonderful, including the bartenders! Thank you, Continental Catering for another top-notch event! read more

Continental catered my wedding on 10/15 at The Thursday Club and let me tell you... it was one of the best experiences I had from start to finish. From the consultation, tasting, recommendations, menu changes and finally the execution. The staff was amazing, but Christie rose above all. She was right there keeping me focused and would stop at nothing to make sure I didn't ruin my makeup. I forgot to mention, I am a wedding planner...she was quick to notice I had my planner goggles on (can't help it). She reminded me that I was the bride that day and to be in the moment. She made sure everything was perfect for me and I cannot say enough about the level of service she provided. We received so many compliments on the food, I am still dreaming of those short ribs and shrimp shots. THANK YOU CHRISTIE... you are amazing! Thank you kitchen staff and bartenders, you hard work was appreciated much! read more

Martha and her team were fantastic. The menu selection had more than enough to cater our event with a wide variety. From the tasting to the site visit for catering set up to the event, we were always treated with courtesy and professionalism. Martha was a terrific point of contact and supervisor over the event. Many of our guests Or business owners with a critical eye towards quality and customer service. Not one complaint from anyone and a couple who will definitely hire continental catering for their advance in the future. I highly recommend them. read more

Visited here on Thursday with family for my SIL upcoming wedding for a tasting. First impressions are everything & we had earlier in the week been disappointment by another caterer. As we arrived we were all a little nervous because we just didn't know what to expect. As soon as we walked up to the door Ashely was there to great us with a smiling face! The interior was very nice, it was as if we're were walking into a restaurant for a dining experience! Let me tell you, everything about this place is extremely professional and that is what really attracted us to this place. We were able to take notes & give feedback for each food item we tasted. As the appetizers rolled out they were incredible, delicious, tasty! Each dish was full of flavor, the meat was tender, I cannot explain to you, you must try!! Ashley continued to check in with us, made us feel very welcome/warm and fuzzy- it was great! She knew how to answer all of SIL questions, she didn't skip a beat. Christie was also a great help and we couldn't be more thankful for such a wonderful experience! Definitely recommend if you have any event that needs to be catered! Thank you Continental, you are the real MVP! read more

Disappointed. We never actually had them cater our event, so this review is for the vetting/proposal portion. We were having our event at The Brick and Continental Catering was one of their "Epic Vendors"... it's funny because they have since been removed from The Brick's website. I scheduled a phone call with Continental Catering, for me to call them, and they never answered. I finally got on a call and let the woman on the phone know what we were looking for, she was very nice and told me that she would get me a proposal later that night. It's been 2 MONTHS and I still don't have a proposal from her... are you serious? It's just really unprofessional. After a few days of no response, I decided to look elsewhere. Follow up is so important, if she just told me that it would take her a week to get back to me I would have respected the company more, but NO response is unacceptable for a business. read more

My husband and I have nothing but good things to say about Christie and her staff at continental catering. We had them cater for our wedding last Nov. 12,2016. The food was awesome! From cocktail hour to dinner. Nothing but delicious! All of our guests absolutely loved the food! You won't be disappointed! If you are looking for someone to cater for your wedding. Look no further. Continental catering is the way to go. read more

I never even got to the "scheduling the tasting" step because the woman I spoke to on the phone (wish I could remember her name) was so casual and unprofessional that I was completely turned off. I wanted to discuss the menu and how the whole tasting process works for my upcoming wedding, and she pretty much told me to go ahead and schedule tastings with other caterers, and if I was still interested in setting up a tasting with them to call her back. Huh?! Yikes! Needless to say, that's exactly what I did and went with another caterer! read more

5 stars, hands-down. Continental did our wedding at Orfila Vineyard and Winery. They did a PHENOMENAL Job. Everyone loved the California buffet and the 3 appetizers we selected. The cheese board that Christi threw in at the end was a hit as well. My bride and I didn't get to have any cheese at the reception (WE LOVE CHEESE), so Christi invited us to stop by the office anytime to enjoy their entire selection of cheeses. Our tasting was awesome, and they sent us home with a week's worth of food after the tasting. Christi was so easy to negotiate with. It was clear that she truly cared about providing us everything we wanted to make our big day amazing. She was so flexible with changes and the company even provided an extra 30 minutes of coverage free of charge. You could tell Continental simply wanted to deliver extraordinary service, and that's what they did. The wait service the day of was awesome. We couldn't be happier with our choice of caterer. It was all so delicious. Just writing this review makes me want some korean beef sticks and stuffed mushrooms. read more

After researching multiple Catering companies, cross referencing and taste testing, my husband and I decided on Continental Catering. Not only was the food delicious, Christie let us nail down the menu until we felt it was absolutely perfect and fit our budget. She was so efficient and friendly, the service was extremely on top of things and made sure to cater to our every need (not that we requested the royal treatment but we definitely recieved it). If you are looking for delicious food, beautiful presentation and excellent service, trust the reviews and go with Continental Catering. You will be so satisfied and relieved you did. After all, this is one of the most expensive categories for your event and you want the best! read more

We used Continental for a private corporate event at the USS Midway and they went above and beyond to ensure that everything went as smoothly as possible. Their staff was incredible and so was the food, I cannot recommend them enough! read more

"Meh" sums it up. We contacted them regarding catering our wedding this coming summer and were able to schedule a tasting. After having the time changed on us twice, it was hard not to feel rushed through the tasting- being sandwiched between two different couples- the second group having to wait for us to finish. You can tell that the business is a bit of an assembly line, and you can't help but feel like a cog in the works rather than a well-attended client. If that was the only issue I may have overlooked the awkwardness of the whole meal. However, the food itself did not thrill me. The only thing we tasted that blew me away was the salad, and who leaves a wedding with fond memories of the salad? Maybe it was the dishes I chose for us to sample, but if those were so bad in comparison, why even put them on the menu???? In the end I was disappointed with our tasting, having read the great reviews and drooled over their menu. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is that we appreciated the attention that Kristie gave us, and I could tell that she would be good with details such as the venue set-up, linens, china, etc. She was very patient with me, answering all my questions, despite stares from the poor couple at the table next to us, who were obviously waiting for their own tasting to commence. What a weird experience. After our preview I was promised a revised proposal after the weekend, but a week later I'm still waiting. I don't mind waiting on that one, to say the least. read more

You know how wedding food is usually "eh"? This food had EVERYONE talking. I opted for the international stations, where people can go from station to station and choose what they'd like to eat. We had the mediterranean kebab station, the pasta action station, and, my fav, the baja fajita martini station. The servers and event managers were extremely courteous and knowledgeable, and they did a great job making everything beautiful and in keeping with the look of the event. Everything I asked for got the same response, "no problem!" I was so pleased with our catering and the food itself... my family ate leftovers for four days!!! read more

We just got married and used CC as our caterer, based on the referral from a friend. I give them 4 stars for the food/displays, but 2 stars for service. Here's why: Their food and displays were top notch, with reasonable prices, but definitely lacking in customer service at a crucial time when we were trying to select a caterer. I think the catering managers are just overworked and can't easily get to email, but that was pretty frustrating for us when we wanted to pay them and it took weeks to get the invoice for what we'd discussed on a previous call! But, everything turned out just perfect for our wedding day and we got so many compliments about the food. Pros: * Delicious, high quality food * Huge variety and flexibility/customization of the food offered for plated meals, buffets and stations - we were incredibly pleased with everything from the cocktail hour apps to the dinner stations we selected to the dessert * Beautiful displays * Very reasonable prices that were somewhat negotiable; we talked to other vendors and we thought their food selections and prices were the best (we didn't do any tastings prior to picking the caterer) * Very familiar with our venue (Orfila Winery) and was able to recommend where to put the stations, the cocktail table belly bars, etc. Cons: The customer service leading up to the wedding. While the food and service during our wedding was great, we had a really hard time with the catering manager's service before the wedding. It took her weeks to reply to our emails and we always had to email again to ask for a response. Then after a somewhat lengthy phone conversation about the food for our tasting, we show up and she for some reason thought we were only there to taste the apps. I almost had a panic attack as we'd flown to San Diego for the weekend and weren't coming back before the wedding; same with my groom's parents! She fixed everything but that was not a great first impression. As the wedding got closer, she was a bit more responsive, but I really struggled with this one as vendors shouldn't take weeks to reply to emails! read more

Continental Catering did an amazing job catering our wedding at the Martin Johnson House in La Jolla, they truly went above and beyond in every fashion. We worked with Kristie E. during the initial tasting process and planning process, she was excellent and very responsive to all email questions and follow-up. Honestly, this was something that swayed us towards selecting continental catering. Many other catering companies we reached out to were very slow to respond and had trouble giving us accurate quotes earlier on, Kristie was very transparent and helped us stay within our budget while not sacrificing quality or service. As we approached our big day, Chelsea was our day of Event Manager who helped us finalize details and was onsite making sure the day was executed as planned. Chelsea was also very responsive as well and ensured everything was coordinated with our other vendors (DJ set-up area, lighting vendor and beverage/bar delivery arrived and was set-up). I also recognize there were a number of other Continental Catering staff that helped make this day perfect and I want to thank them as well. The day itself went very smoothly, guest raved about how great the cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres and dinner. I personally really appreciated how detailed Continental Catering was, they understood my vision and on the big day they even brought in additional decor which tied the look of the buffet tables, hors d'oeuvres and water table back to the centerpieces and overall theme of the night. THANK YOU Continental Catering, we couldn't have be happier with your service on our special day. read more

Organization: AMAZING Food: AMAZING Service: AMAZING Staff: AMAZING Over all Experience: AMAZING Everyone is still raving over our wedding food! I have had guests contact me for info about our catering Company for their next party. I will forever reccomend Christie and her staff at Continental! Thanks for the great food, the beautiful linens, and our delicious cakes! read more

Yolanda was so patient and helpful over the course of the year that we spent organizing the catering for our wedding reception. We had a couple of tastings to select the appetizers and entrees, where we were able to ask questions and make adjustments so that the food suited our tastes. We selected seared scallops, sliders, and beef brochettes for appetizers, and salmon with sweet potato pancake, beef tenderloin with vegetables, and chicken adobo over rice for our entrees. We cannot think of a better meal to have eaten on our wedding day! Our guests can't stop talking about how delicious all of the food was, which is pretty unheard of for most of the weddings I've been to. In fact, Yolanda and the chefs worked closely with us to make the chicken adobo, a dish that is dear to our hearts. While all of the food was fabulous, the chicken adobo was especially impressive and was a big hit with all of our guests. Even my relatives from the Philippines approved! Not only was the food on point, but the staff was also very professional and attentive to us and our guests. We received plenty of food at our sweetheart table and even had a warm plate to replace the food that got cold after we took photos with guests. I would highly recommend Continental Catering for any event, especially for weddings. Having a fantastic meal was one of our goals for our wedding and Continental Catering definitely delivered! read more

Just experienced yet ANOTHER AMAZING EVENT catered by Continental and their awesome team, and once again WOWED!!! My uncle's private home wedding was nothing short of stunning & deliciously orchestrated by this group. Every guest kept commenting on the PERFECT selections that Christie Radican made for his Italian theme - the Create Your Own Pasta Bar was GENIUS and just insanely fun! Pancetta, fresh mushrooms, tomatoes, sundried, garlic, and herbs with Orecchiette pasta even... che perfetto! GRAZIE, Christie, for all of your help and suggestions. Please also thank Manny and the rest of your dream team for being so lovely and helpful at the house. I know it made a huge difference having your professionalism and experience to alleviate their stress. They LOVED YOU and LOVED the whole experience! Again, many thanks. I feel fortunate to know you all and to know that not only are you great people but incredibly gifted creators of food & celebration! xoxoxoxo read more

I worked with Christie Radican for my event at the Birch Aquarium last week and she is the best caterer I have ever worked with. Our event was beautiful and despite our limited budget Christie made sure it was fabulous. Everyone raved about the décor and how delicious the food was. Christie went out of her way and provided everything for us including rounds and tables all I had to do was show up she did all of this despite just having surgery. If you are planning an event Continental Catering will not let you down but exceed your expectations :) read more

We had our wedding at the Martin Johnson house in La Jolla, and were forced to choose from their list of approved vendors. Upon contacting the first few vendors, we were blown away by how expensive they were. We looked at Continental Catering next because their website was fun and funky and we were told their prices would be more reasonable. We had a tasting with Continental and all of the food was great. In addition, their prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality and presentation of the different menu options. We chose a buffet dinner with 2 entrees, 2 salads, and 2 sides. Overall, our guests were very happy with the food. I have a few dietary restrictions and the team was very willing to make my meal separately within the required specifications. Our event manager was Yolanda and she was extremely responsive to any questions or communications leading up to the event and is very professional, patient and friendly. We met with her at the venue and she provided us with a lot of good feedback. The day of, her and the rest of the Continental staff were very nice and helpful. The presentation of all of the food tables looked great. They provide all of the decorations on the buffet table and also the dessert table, even though we provided our own dessert. Their décor coordinated very well with the theme of our wedding and our other decorations. If you are looking for a caterer for your event, I would highly suggest Yolanda and Continental Catering. I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

Continental catering catered our wedding on July 21, 2013. All in all, they were amazing! The food was really delicious. We got so many compliments from our guests regarding the food and the wait staff. The team that was brought in for our wedding went above and beyond, I can't say enough good things about those guys. All the plates came out warm and everything was cooked to perfection. I would recommend them to anyone! Here is why they aren't getting a full 5 stars.. - Although they have a wide variety of linens, there really isn't much to choose from as far as dishes are concerned. White and off white, plain round or square choices. - And Christie, our point person, was difficult to pin down at times during the planning process. It made me nervous every once in a while when I wasn't getting a response from her. When I finally did catch her, she was pleasant and great to work with. But, it was an unnecessary added stress. read more

Our wonderful sales rep, Christie Radican, went above and beyond to put our minds at ease and provide us with the wedding day of our dreams. She was very patient, kind, and friendly. Our event manager, Alijandro, was also amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with everything. He even remembered our drink preferences from our tasting months before! The service and attention to detail were impeccable. We enjoyed our experience from the first phone call to the actual event and Christie and the team worked tirelessly to far exceed our expectations. Everything was beyond perfect! Big thanks to my Continental Catering team! read more

My wedding was this past August and of course as part of wedding planning, I did a lot of research on caterers. Out of a list of about 10+ catering companies I talked to, Continental Catering was by far the friendliest, most reasonably priced and had the best tasting food. Continental really "catered" to my vision of how I wanted dinner at my wedding to look. They incorporated my color theme and even included decorations around the buffet station that complimented the table centerpieces! The food was fantastic, the set up of the buffet station was perfect, staff was competent, efficient and friendly. Having Continental cater at my wedding was a wonderful experience! read more

Working with Continental Catering was such a pleasure! They were very easy to work with and had the most amazing staff! Such a great company! read more

Continental Catering is AMAZING! My fiancee and I did a tasting months before our wedding and were blown away at how great the food was. We just got married on Sunday and the food surpassed our expectations. We heard nothing but fantastic things about the food from all of our guests. The presentation that Continental Catering put together for the appetizer stations as well as the buffet was unbelievable. The serving staff at the reception was wonderful and made sure that everyone was happy and taken care of. They plated meals for my husband and I and made sure that we were all set so we could relax a bit and actually eat a few bites while everyone else was going through the line. They also made sure that two meals were boxed up and put in the limo so we had food when we got to the hotel. I highly recommend using Continental Catering for your wedding reception or any event that you need catering done for. read more

Continental Catering catered my wedding on October 25th, 2013, and I can't say enough good things about the results! Christie Radican was our contact and she was wonderful to work with! She answered every question that I came up with (some that didn't even have to do with catering) with a smile and didn't seem to mind the changes that we made throughout the planning process. Her suggestions were very helpful due to her industry experience and her familiarity with my venue. The food was incredible! It was well presented and absolutely delicious. After the ceremony, there was a plate of appetizers waiting for us on our sweetheart table and I was so impressed with the selection. I received so many compliments about how different the food choices were than most weddings and how delicious everything tasted. The service was wonderful! I can't remember the name of the person who served the two of us but he was on top of it! I noticed the staff talking with guests a couple of times throughout the night which was a great personal touch. EVERYONE that worked my wedding was friendly and had a smile on their face. I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking to wow their guests with the menu and service at their event. Truly fantastic! read more

My husband Todd and I got married at the El Cortez and Continental Catering was recommended as the best caterer by El Cortez. They were right. From the start we were impressed with how great the food was and how friendly the staff were. We met with Christie at their location to go over the food selection. By the end of the night, we were all best friends and the staff on hand were signing up to work our event. The food was phenomenal and just exotic enough to ensure our wedding was classy and sophisticated. Later in the evening, Christie showed up to make sure everything was running smoothly (it was) and to enjoy the event. After the wedding, they boxed up the left over food so we could take it home (we ended up leaving the food for the staff because we were staying at a hotel). The bottom line is that this is your wedding! You can't afford to not have the very best caterer and risk spoiling your beautiful day with a second rate company, when so many things can go wrong with the food presentation. Go with Continental Catering (and the deconstructed tamales!) and you will not regret it! read more

I should probably start my review by saying I'm not a "toughie", I've reviewed my other wedding vendors with five full stars. In comparison, Continental Catering really has to improve their business in terms of the service and organization. First off, five huge stars for their work on the day-of, though...they really came through and our Kitchen Manager, Meg, turned it all around for me!! That's all that really mattered, but I feel of all of our vendors, Continental really created the most unnecessary stress for us. The positives: The food was great and guests raved about the fun sliders and mason jar salads (and Continental had kindly offered us a second tasting at no charge when we asked if they offered something more fun than the plated options). Meg came out to greet us on the day-of and, along with our coordinator, had our table full of food and each vendor's plate ready! The decor also looked fabulous!!! I love that Continental helps decorate their stations! Five plus stars for the team on our wedding day! The negatives: In terms of working with Continental throughout the planning process and letting them handle the event rentals (as offered when they cater the Martin Johnson), we were less than impressed. Our account went through several different hands in the year we signed with them, and I think this was probably the cause for the mess on their end. Checking your wedding vendor's work all year because they keep sending you materials with the wrong wedding date, appetizer menu or unmentioned increased prices is definitely not fun! ;) And it came down to us having to do the actual work, create our own listings and then get their 'confirmation' so that my coordinator had everything she needed for the day-of. (I think they got the hint and really tried to turn it around in the last week though, so kudos to the company for that!) Honestly, I was very worried that something would go really wrong on the day-of, but they did nail it in the end. Their website, reviews and branding gave off a very different, modern and "with-it" impression initially, and really sold us on their fun side. So, as long as you're up for a potential challenge, I say their inventive style/fun food was worth it in the end! Once they get their act together on the client service side and learn to make their clients feel as confident in their work as they do in their food, I think this catering company can be stellar! read more

Thank you for a fabulous Party!!!! Charlie and Art you went above and beyond to make everything perfect. The tables where decorated beautiful, food was excellent and service was spot on.

Things were put away and my kitchen sparkled! Thanks for making my daughters engagement party one to remember! Mamma G read more
