We recently used Cornejos for our Decorations & Catering for our daughter's Quinceañera and I cannot recommend them enough!! Their guidance and expertise along the planning process was so appreciated. It can be stressful to plan your big event but Cornejos has your back, their customer service is amazing. All of our guests complimented the decor, the delicious food and cake/treats. Thank you so much Cornejos we will be using for our future family events! read more

This rating is not based on an event, but rather their service during a tasting prior to booking. Also, I'm only leaving this because their actions (rather inactions) were avoidable and blatantly negligent. So much so, we avoided booking My fiancé and I reached out as they had fairly good reviews for event planning. We were looking for a decorator and food. They responded well and invited us to a tasting of their food. Their food was pretty darn good. At least until we got to the chafing dish that had a long hair in the sauce draped over the dish and down across the table. It was a long hair. We're understanding, hair gets in things, sometimes. However, when we pointed it out to the staff, who was all clustered and talking to one another, the staff member made no effort to remove it, or replace it, just apologetically chuckle, and walk back to her circle to resume talking. We were there for a few minutes longer taking a look at things and at no point did we ever see that dish get changed out. Or the hair removed. read more

The server was 45 minutes late however, she did get everything set up and ready in time. The food was very good and the server was very nice. Overall, I would definitely use this company again. some of the things to keep in mind when dealing with this company is they don't give you a contact information of the person who is running the event. so if they are late, do you have no way of contacting them. read more

I see a lot of 5 star reviews for Cornejo's and my experience with them was the same. We worked with Jesse for a wedding and from the first contact to the wedding itself was completely positive. The food was fantastic (the level of choice and ability to try everything beforehand is super). The decor choices and the way everything looked was beyond our expectations. They provided the cake which was absolutely delicious. Jesse listened to everything that we had to say, the staff at the event were very attentive. Absolutely no complaints. Save yourself headaches and money too! Great value. read more

WOOOW! Thank you soo much to the entire Cornejo's team! My husband and I were blown away by everything! They were able to transform a community center into such a beautiful wedding venue. We hired them for catering, cake, all wedding flowers, bartending services, chair rental, ceremony and reception decoration for 160 people. We also booked an ice cream bar and churro bar with them. (highly recommend) our guest could not stop talking about how amazing everything was. They offer food tasting every Sunday which was what sold us immediately, once we tried the food we knew we had to book them! We had our bartender cancel on us less than 45 days before our wedding and booked Cornejo's instead. It was the best decision we made! They really are a full service company and can help bring your vision to life. The staff were very professional and very nice! We were at a loss for words when we saw everything come together. Everything was so amazing and beautiful. We have had so many of our guests call us complementing the food, drinks, decorations and how nice the staff were! We have no words to express how grateful we are for them making our dream wedding come true! Our wedding was just a week and half ago and we are dying to have another reason to hire the Cornejo's team! lol Thank you soo much again. Highly recommend booking them! read more

Cornejo's catering did the food and decor for our wedding, including the cake and churro bar. They are a one stop shop for all your party needs. I wish we found them sooner because their service is amazing, pricing is reasonable, and the food was delicious. I recommend them for anyone throwing a big party in the future. We will be using them again. Orlando and Jesse in particular were very helpful read more

I can't thank enough Lulu for always meeting my expectations and helping out during my family events! She is always cordial and provides excellent customer service! Recently she made the flower arrangements for my daughter's Quince and they were gorgeous!! I I have rented other items for my events from Cornejo's and every time she meets my needs and expectations. She is attentive to detail and gives 1000% to each event and treats everyone with respect. I will always be grateful to Lulu for what she does! Thank you, Lulu and your team! read more

I just got married last night and I hadn't had an issue with lulu until the day of the event. Lulu is the owner and is very very very unprofessional. I paid for 3 waiters and the day of, she told me I had not paid for them which I did, I even added a 4th one last minute and she just took my money. The waiters were sitting down doing NOTHING but pick up the plates at the end. She didn't set up the correct amount of chairs in each table which was very embarrassing because my guests were coming up to me letting me know they didn't have a chair/plate. I could say she ruined my night because when I told her, she was being soooooooo rude to my family members trying to take charge since I was the bride and I was very stressed. I would rather pay double the price than book this company. Don't recommend. read more

Cornejo's Event Planner did such an amazing job at my wedding. From floral, catering and coordination everything was perfect. The team is extremely professional-- I met with them a couple of times prior to my event and shared inspirations. The day of the event everything was more than I expected. If you're looking for a one stop shop that delivers phenomenal work, look no more, their work and staff are spectacular. I didn't want to deal with too many vendors, and Cornejo's does it all. I received great feedback from the venue on how great they were to work with. All of the guests were so pleased with the ambiance, food, and cake. Thank you Cornejo's for making my day extra special! read more

This was for a wedding in the summer - Looks good when being presented and when being greeted the first time , but all changes the day of. Let's just say they ran out of water ! Really ? For 100 people on a hot day and didn't bring extra water ? Wow!!!! Some of the groomsmen had to go buy drinks for our guest. let the list continues of the items and services paid for but never seen , no umbrellas were put out, centerpieces were very small, no red carpet rolled out so I had to walk on soft soil and grass that got my dress dirty, food wasn't covered or put on ice trays as requested mind you it's an outdoor wedding , the cheese fountain wasn't even on ! What was the point for paying extra to get it? no communication at all ! And don't think about asking for any money back for any of that because they won't call u back or they will point out that prior to 48 hours to event all sales are basically final. They pocketed the money instead. So save yourself time money and embarrassment and find another place that will follow through. read more

Excelente servicio, buena comida, el personal muy amable, y excelente precios. Servicios para toda ocasión muy recomendable.

Cornejos Catering is the best!!!! Lulu and her team did an amazing job this past weekend in my wedding!! They traveled from San Jose to Sacramento and brought everything we had asked for!! The food was amazing, the desserts were delicious! But the CAKE was just phenomenal! All of our guests wanted more cake!! haha my wife and I couldn't be happier with Lulu and Cornejos Catering. Love it. read more

Booked them for a 1st birthday party. It was AMAZING!! The attention to detail was superb. They were so attentive the day of the event and throughout the entire process. I had a very high standard that I thought might be unreasonable, but they more then met my expectations. Will definitely be going to them in the future! They did everything for me. Catering, decorations, cake, and they rented us tables and chairs! It was the easiest process ever. Can't recommend them enough read more

Cornejo's Catering - Dessert table by cornejos - Caterers Near Me - San Jose, California

I used Cornejo's Event Planner for my last minute wedding party and I can't say enough great things about them. I was fortunate to have Lulu as my event planner. I told her my vision and she managed to make it much more than I had envisioned. Per usual the day of my wedding I was nervous because I wasn't sure if everyone would arrive in time for set up. Fortunately, Lulu and her team arrived earlier than expected. They worked tirelessly all night working the bar, servers picking up the table asap, helping take photos, and quickly cleaning. The food was good, the decor was beautiful. Definitely, I would recommend and use again on future events. read more

NEVER AGAIN. Lulu was very unprofessional with us even yelled at us and demanded we gave her the money before doing her end of the job. Very unprofessional Poor quality No effort Lack of communication Rude I would stay away from this place. Never again. I would rather pay double of what I payed here to somewhere else rather then coming back here and giving her my hard earned money. read more

Great place nice people and they do a great job on everything. Try them for your next event. The food was delicious. We just celebrated our daughter Quinceañera and our guests were delighted with the food. They have a buffet for you to try their food every Sunday staring at 11 am you will be surprise how many delicious dishes they have. We recommend them 100% read more

They do not execute what they promise. The manager Lulu (Lourdes) is beyond unprofessional and does not care about their customers and will argue with you. They make you believe they will go above and beyond but will NOT DELIVER. My sister in law paid for waiters for a seated dinner at her wedding only to be told the day of that the waiters will not be serving the food because they're too tired. Lulu's character and attitude is beyond disgusting. If I could give less than 1/5 stars, I would. Lulu and this company are not worth anything. read more

Paid extra have waiters and last minute she made all the guests get up to get their own food. When we asked her why the last minute change she just gave attitude to our family. If you want last minute changes DURING the event and for someone to charge you money and not go through with what you paid for, book these unprofessional people. Lulu is the owner and she is so rude. You have been warned! read more

I will be forever grateful for Cornejos for creating my quinceañera venue one that everyone will never forget! The decorations came out beautiful and the huge effort they placed into it was reflected on the amazing outcome. Aside from that the food and cake was delicious! Thank you so much Cornejos and I hope one day you all will take part in another one of our events. :) read more

This was by far the most affordable caterer I found and they have great food too. Cornejos is perfect if you don't want to deal with too many vendors for your event because the Owner Lulu is a jack of all trades. she is an event coordinator, cook, planner and a florist. Lulu was really affordable and nice she not only worked with my budget but was also very flexible with the menu. instead of 3 meats she let me use a pasta with meat for one of my choices and since I couldn't decide on the side salad I chose two (a little of each). I would definitely recommend her to anyone on a budget that is looking for great decor and food. I got the package for 250 guest and besides the buffet I also got the following: Linens China & silver ware fresh flower centerpieces (you choose your design and vase) flower decorations for the church Cake Chocolate fountain boutonnieres bouquet's Appetizers read more

Lulu and her team went out of their way to ensure that my wife's birthday party was a complete success. The team arrived early to set up prior to the party. Everything (tables & chairs, bar, decorations, appetizers etc) was ready to go by the time the party started. They then passed around appetizers and also set up a stationary appetizer table. Simultaneously they had a bartender who did a fantastic job keeping up with guests' requests. By the time it was time to have dinner, they again had everything ready to go and had someone watch over the buffet to ensure that chafing dishes were well stocked. Towards the end they helped out with cake cutting, and then cleaned everything up. I highly recommend Cornejo's in general, and Lulu in particular. read more

WORST COMPANY EVER! A warning: DO NOT USE THEM UNLESS YOU WANT TO HAVE A MENTAL BREAKDOWN! I placed an order for 29 candelabras and LULU said she would be able to rent them to us. I put down a deposit and everything. A Day before the wedding, my fiancé called and they said the candelabras were ready for pick up. When I get there, they're were only 17 and they were broken, different colors, and horrible looking. When we asked what happened, Lulu yelled at me and my sister like it was my fault. I immediately asked for my deposit back and went down the street to WILLIAM RENTAL where they helped me out big time. I don't know how lulu is still in business, she's a horrible, rude, dishonest lady. They need to be shut down for good! DON'T USE THEM...EVER!!! I wasted my time dealing with that horrible lady! read more

I used Cornejo's event planner for my wedding. they did the church decoration, hall decor and the catering. I made a huge mistake to have them do all for me.. the church decor was ok.. no complaints. the hall decor was not what I asked for.. the table centerpieces were fresh bouquet of roses.. I wanted different flowers and a totally different look. I was really disappointed.. I even showed them a picture of how I wanted my centerpieces.. in regards to the catering.. they pour salt on the water fountain instead of sugar.. the alfredo pasta was awful.. it tasted like burned bread. and the fruit was not fresh at all.. They give me a "good" package price.. but they couldn't handle it .. My wedding was for 300 people.. too big for them. read more

I used Cornejo's Event Planner for my wedding for 350 guests. The day of the party they were on site from 3:00pm until 12:00 am yes midnight.. Their location is easy to get to and parking is available if you go at the right time, there is a kickboxing/yoga studio class next door, Their suite in the building is pretty small, but the office is decent size. They coordinated the food including the cake and fruit/dessert table, china (tableware), Linens, waiters, bartender,decorations including centerpieces, and reserved my hall and security. The price was right on amazing! They worked with me since i didn't need the church decorated and slashed some $ off the price. The hall was included in the package as well, which i believe they get a discount or on a contract with them since they use different ones all the time because for the size of my hall it should of been way more money. PLUS THEY LET YOU DO PAYMENTS! I went in a year ahead with no complications and gave my last payment a week before the wedding. The food : They have tastings during the weekends, and if you request to try something they do not have out when you go they can schedule you a PRIVATE tasting with what you'd like your menu to look like. Our food was sooo delicious and the waiters advised me if we wanted to take leftovers home at the end of the day , which my party guests where happy to do so. The cake , we actually didn't cut... my husband and I were too busy dancing the night away to worry about that; we took a picture with it and asked the waiters to cut it for us as we had our night to our selves. You get to choose toppings, fillings, cake type, and design. The cake that is included in the package wil be made to feed as the number of guests you have planned to have at your reception. The fruit table was right on point. Fresh ripe juicy ...mouth watering...lol the chocolate fountain was a HIT! it looked like it'd been licked clean. I upgraded from plastic ware to china which only the glasses where actual glass the plates are actually hard plastic..well at least the ones we got. ___I did ask lulu what if something broke or..worse...some come out missing at the end of the party?? she said not to worry that everything is covered. Linens: they make an apt with you to come and see the table and centerpiece so you can see how they will look well before you have your party, YOU need to make an apt so everything is in order THEY WILL NOT make one for you. ITS YOUR PARTY NOT THEIRS. Be as specific as you can, they encourage it!! ONE thing they messed up on was the way the napkins were supposed to be folded but i was OK with it. When I spoke to Lulu after my party to reserve her for another one and pointed that out she advised me that i SHOULD HAVE told her , they would of gone to repair that mistake easily. THEY DECORATE A DAY BEFORE which is awesome because you can see your hall and make sure you got what you asked for. I made my own menu's and table numbers; asked them to put them on the plates when they where decorating. They also let you bring your own drinks/beer/wine/liquor a day before. I reserved the Scottish Rite Center and they let me store everything in their walk in fridge. The lady Angela i believe who is the secretary at the Scottish Rite Center was extraordinary with us, she allowed us to use some props for free and even got us a jumpy house for the kiddos , which was a lifesaver no kids where running around or bothering their parents. The waiters : where super nice , they made sure to "guard" the buffet line until we got there and served ourselves first , with the dinner and dessert. The bartender: was nice, and respectful. When we asked him to lie and say we didn't have anymore alcohol although we clearly did, he did what was asked in a professional tone to our guests. The security: was never just sitting around. they where posted in the front entrance and by the main entry doors to our hall. they also roamed through the parking lots with flashlights and made sure it was safe outside and the cars were safe as well. **At first when i went in to check on this, the lady that was attending us was rude and unprofessional, THEN we spoke to the owner LULU. I cannot stress enough of what a difference she made on the whole experience. ASK for her, she is nice and straight out. Remember this is YOUR celebration; if you don't bother to make sure before the scheduled date to make such important apt's with LULU (table decoration/centerpiece demonstration , food ) to make sure everything is going accordingly, there could be complications like any other place. I am extremely satisfied with her and her team. So satisfied, we are looking to use their services again soon :) read more

Cornejo's Catering - My wedding deco. table & centerpiece - Caterers Near Me - San Jose, California

Our wedding was mid- August of this year and it was amazing thanks to Cornejo's Event Planning. Griselda was our coordinator and she went above and beyond what we could have asked for. She was in constant communication with me and made sure that I was happy with all the choices my husband and I made. She is an amazing person and great at her job. She listens to what you want and your vision and adds her profession opinion as needed. She was very attentive, organized, and diligent during our wedding. She contacted our vendors to make sure everything went smooth. She created a timeline and made sure everyone stuck to it and was on it. We highly recommend her, she knows her stuff. The decorations were great and really made our wedding elegant. The food was good, and many people gave us compliments about it. We had over 250 people at our wedding and were scared the food would run out since it was buffet. To our surprise, there was food left over. We loved the food so much, because it had a great variety-we had some Mexican dishes to please our family members, as well as some new dishes that impressed our friends. The appetizers we heard were good and all finished. The cake was HUGE, beautiful, over the top and many people also asked about where we had gotten it from. The bartenders were great, keeping all the drinks coming, and engaging with our guests. My bridal bouquet was fabulous and I loved everything about it. My bridesmaids bouquets and groomsmen boutonnieres were nice. My husband and I are very pleased with Griselda and the Cornejo's team and would highly recommend them. They are a one stop shop and make the wedding planning process so easy and stress-free. Thank you once again for making our Wedding amazing! read more

If i could give 10 stars to Cornejo's Event Planner I will. Love their customer service, they plan my wedding in 2011 and now they will work on my baby girls birthday party. Griselda was awesome, she help us a lot and the most important thing for me and my husband she cares a lot about my daughters foods allergies. That make us feel comfortable with the service. The price was the best price we could ever find. This is why we always do business with them. Thank you Lulu & Griselda you ladies are awesome. read more

I used Cornejo's for my son communion/confirmation last year in May. The food and service was great. So I decided to use them this year on Cinco de Mayo for my god daughter's baptism. The food was great as I expected. The contract was for food service from 3pm - 5pm but since no one had arrived yet they served until 6:30pm and then they started the clean up. They even let me borrow 2 table covers and my comadre returned them on Tuesday after the event. AMAZING job I've already had people ask me for their # and I'm planning another event. THANKS SO MUCH read more

Used them for my wedding and would not go back. All the samples looked great when they showed us and so we moved forward with them. On the day of the wedding, our centerpieces were smaller than expected, and the green sponge used to organize the flowers were clearly visible. They served chips and salsa using paper plates and bowls ( we did not want that). The food was cold and the servers didn't know what do to at the reception. The prices kept changing and items ordered for the wedding kept getting compromised last minute. Manage your expectations when hiring them and have your own wedding coordinator work with them because working with them and keeping them on track can be very stressful. read more

I was searching for a reasonable caterer when a friend recommended Cornejo's. I met with Gricelda and went over the food, flowers, cake and decorations and she gave us a very reasonable quote which also included appetizers and a chocolate fountain. The flowers were beautiful, the food and cake was delicious and the staff was friendly and went above and beyond. You just have to trust them and not doubt that they will do a good job. They were awesome and reasonable (you can make payments) and did everything from beginning to end. read more

This is a terrible event planner!!! They have terrible customer service and just take your money. We hired them for my sisters quince and we paid everything upfront and expected high quality performance how ever it was absolutely not what we expected. Everything was so cheap looking, nothing like what they showed us in their pictures. I'm very un happy with their service! They were late and never even called to apologize! Would never hire them nor recommend them. I wouldn't even give them 1 star. read more

I used Cornejo's Event Planner for my wedding last October. After looking around for months, my husband and I came across to Cornejos's, since the beginning they where very friendly and professional. They work with in our budget. Griselda (the person who take care of us) was always available and on the day of my wedding she take good care of every single detail. I married in the garden of the hall, they did an amazing job decorating it. everything was exactly what we have spoke during our meetings, chair covers, napkins, flowers, centerpieces, food, even the cake I showed them a picture of how I wanted and they made it exactly. I had a amazing day thanks to them!! read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE... the worst, I could say, the ladies on the phone act extremely rude, they need some training on how to handle customers. For my wedding I chose some decoration I saw on one of the pictures they have, the final thing wasn't even close to what I had seen nor what I had paid for, of course I couldn't do anything because there was a wedding going on, I also paid them so they could bring the aisle runner for the church and they forgot it!!!!!!!! We where right there, just minutes before the ceremony begun and no carpet!!!! Lucky for us the church has it's own runner for moments like this, for only $80, which I had to pay at the moment, after the wedding I went to their office explaining what happened and the lady on the desk gave me an attitude, like if it was my fault, anyway, it's been more than a month and I'm still waiting for a change with the refund only for the carpet. Not a serious company at all!!!!! Think it twice before hiring this company for you event. read more

Seen some pictures of the storage of food at the kitchen of this company and it is simply horrifying. Meat stored in a non-refrigerated truck for 3 days, food made in buckets and just about every unsanitary thing your mind could imagine is happening there. The health department was called due to a complaint and they were fined and given a laundry list of what to do to comply with their standards. Someone is going to die from this very gross and disgusting caterer. Before you use them one should check out the health departments findings on them. My advice is run, run, run away Forest and seek food else where read more

I found this place after doing a lot of research on-line. I needed a caterer for my wedding; one that wasn't going to cost me and my fiance an arm and a leg and possibly and eye. They have food tasting every Saturday and Sunday, which is a PLUS. They have different packages (I like having options). They have American, Mexican, and Italian dishes. We decided to go with the buffet for 200 guests. They give you the choice of three meats, two sides, salad, and it also includes a mini fruit buffet...all for a very reasonable price compared to many companies out there. They also provide napkins, plates and eating utensils. The food itself was delicious. The meats were juicy and not dry, and not salty. They had plenty of food for all our guests, plus a little more (just in case people decided to get seconds). They have people serving the food (they were very friendly). I have to give a HUGE PLUS to the manager that was there until the very end of our wedding reception, which ended at midnight. He stayed because he had to collect all of the table cloths, but what he did not have to do is clean or help clean the hall, but he did so anyway. He helped clear the tables and helped stacked the chairs AND he was taking the garbage outside. A BIG THANKS to him (too bad I can't remember his name). Overall, great food, friendly staff, and EXCELLENT service read more

What can I possibly say about Cornejo's? Everything! Everything good of course... I came to Cornejo's as a last resort and had some doubts. But I couldn't have been more wrong. Talk about a perfect wedding (my guests still make mention of it and people who see the pictures do too). Orlando is the man! He made absolute certain that every detail was covered. And it was. The set up was more beautiful than Orlando expressed. My grandmother's backyard was quite literally transformed. The party planners set up for 80 people and it looked very elegant. I wish I could remember the names of the waiter and waitress provided because they pulled it off quite well and transitioned everything smoothly from serving dinner to cutting the cake. I got the whole package and it included everything from the centerpieces to the cake and every detail in between. Cornejo's did an excellent job and I'm so glad I chose them for our special day. There was minimal work done by myself or my family as Cornejo's provided everything except the dress and guests. I highly recommend them for any occasion. Thank you Orlando (and Cornejo's) for your expertise and a job well done! read more
