We hired Diane to cater our wedding and our rehearsal dinner at a winery in the Sierra Foothills. We met with her after going over our wants and desires and she prepared a meal for us complete with appetizers and options for a main course and sides. The food was fantastic. She catered a sit-down meal in a wine cave for our rehearsal dinner with 24 people. Despite the fact that our venue had very limited facilities for caterers (no prep kitchen or kitchen area) the food was absolutely fantastic! The tables were beautifully set, the appetizers were incredible, and the main course was delicious. Her staff was professional and very very attentive. Our guests loved every minute of our rehearsal dinner and didn't want it to end. Either did we. The next day Diane catered our wedding at the same venue for 160 people. In a nutshell, the food was fantastic, as was the service. We had a little miss communication which resulted in us not having champagne at the venue. In spite of our remote location, Diane was able to have champagne delivered to us before we even had our first toast!!! To say the least, we were all very impressed with her ability to get things done. We all know that caterers can make or break a wedding reception. Hire Diane if you want excellent food, service and amenities from an experienced caterer who has the ability to anticipate your needs, and exceptionally meet them. read more

Diane Wilkinson Catering catered my backyard wedding in June. It was HOT! But her staff were amazing. They were all super friendly and helpful. I had vegan guests, vegetarian guests, gluten-free guests, pescatarians and meat-eaters, and all of them were well fed! Diane came and met with me before the wedding and we went through all of the details. She provided the linens and dishware, took care of all the cleaning. She made it very easy for me to enjoy the day. read more

Diane Wilkinson Caterting - B&D wedding, catered by Diane Wilkinson. - Caterers Near Me - Placerville, California

Diane Wilkinson and her catering crew went above and beyond for our backyard wedding. My husband and I simply do not have the words to thank Diane for all of the work and love she poured into our special day. She provided the works - linens, cups, wine glasses, and all serve ware, and the most incredible menu. We expected to have a "low key menu," but Diane presented an extremely sophisticated menu for a fraction of what we expected that caliber of food to cost. She is extremely personable while also being professional, and made sure that our menu matched our setting, as well as our dietary requests. If you have any event you're considering having catered, please don't hesitate to reach out to Diane. You will not be disappointed! read more

I highly recommend Diane for any event you need catered- wedding reception, bridal shower, baby shower, dinner party, cocktail party, commercial or movie shoot... any size!

See all

Diane catered my celebratory dinner party. The food was absolutely, amazingly delicious! All my guests were impressed and repeatedly inquired how I found her! Many guests went up for seconds and some even had a third helping! The food presentation was artistic, beautiful and demonstrated one of Diane's many talents. Diane also designed a menu with specific dietary restrictions of my parents in mind. My parents were greatly appreciate of Diane's sincere interest to ensure that they would enjoy a wonderful meal. I was incredible appreciative that Diane took such good care of my parents. Diane not only prepared an incredible feast, she cares about her customers as well. I had received some beautiful flowers from my guests. However, I did not have time to place them in vase as I was attending to other guests. Diane took it upon her self to wash some vases that had an embarrassing collection of dust. Then she carefully arranged the flowers and displayed them on the tables. That was really above and beyond the duties of a caterer. Moreover, it was an illustration of Diane's sweet, caring and wonderful nature. If you need a caterer, I would strongly recommend Diane Wilkinson Catering! read more

Diane Catered our wedding and it was amazing. The food was delicious. Our guests were very impressed with the food variety and selection. Diane did an incredible job and I would recommend her for any large or small event. read more

I met Diane through the owner of the venue our wedding was at. From the moment I met her there were no other contenders!!! Diane had just had hip surgery a few days prior to our tasting and was moving around as if she was completely recovered, our tasting was amazing, so amazing in fact it was hard to narrow down our choices. This is a full service caterer, no need to rent linens, plates, barware etc. it's all there for you. I was so happy to share my day with Diane and her staff, they were courteous, timely, and the food was the best wedding food ever, it was delicious and there was plenty to eat (not just little plates of pretty, tasteless food). I feel so happy that I had an opportunity to meet and work with Diane, she made me feel like my day was important to her and that she valued not only my business but that she was truly happy to be a part of our special day! read more

WOW. From start to finish Diane was a true professional. Considering ourselves "foodies," we hired Diane for our wedding in South Lake Tahoe. Leading up to our event we met with her a few times, once for a delicious tasting, again for on-site visit, and right before our event so she could determine how she would be setting up. Other than that, she was like a whisper in the wind. A real pleasure for a busy bride planning her own wedding! She is a woman of few words, but don't let that fool you. What she lacks in communication she makes up for in AMAZING cuisine. I am one of those people who has trouble letting go of the details, but she made it easy to trust her creative expertise throughout the entire process and I am so glad we did. I would strongly urge you to do the same. It's been over a month since the big day and our guests are still raving about dinner. She provides 5 star service and I would not hesitate to recommend her to my friends and family again and again! read more

Diane catered our retirement party for 250. The food, a heavy appetizer event, was delicious- many, many compliments from guests! The presentation and service were excellent also. We gave her general guidance as to what we liked but let her make final decisions based on what was seasonal and worked best for a big event. Her delivery exceeded our expectations! Thanks Diane for a job well done!! read more

Diane and her amazing crew put on a fabulous buffet for 480 at the Golden Retriever Foundation Gala and Top Twenty competition last Thursday in Placerville. To Diane: I just wanted to tell you again how much we all appreciated the fantastic buffet you and your crew provided for the Golden Retriever Foundation Gala. I'm still hearing compliments and rave reviews from everyone who attended. It's difficult for any caterer to serve 480 people and serve great food in a timely manner. You and your crew ROCKED! The Tri tip was so flavorful, people raved about the horseradish sauce! The chicken and pasta were amazing, I even had comments about how great the green beans were. I think my favorite dish was the potatoes au gratin, the best I have ever had! I've had many, many people tell me that the food was the best food they have ever had at any National. Please be sure to thank Aja and the rest of your crew for all that they did to help make our event so special. Aja was so helpful and responsive to our changing needs, it was greatly appreciated. Unfortunately I missed your ringside event on Saturday, I had to leave early, but I heard all about how everyone was blown away by the crab dip and the nuts! Again, thank you so much, I only wish we could import you and your crew to Maryland for the 2017 Gala. You're going to be a hard act to follow! read more

Diane's team catered my wedding of 60 guests in June 2014. When I was looking for caterers, I kept getting nickel-and-dimed by all of them on the quotes I was given. Diane was different; she invited us to a tasting at her home, and we didn't talk costs until the very end after we had finished discussing our vision for the wedding and food. She was super affordable and beat out the prices from all the other caterers I got quotes from - great for a pair of graduate students! She does not have a set menu (though provides suggestions) so you are free to create a menu that suites you. Our ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS menu included almond-stuffed, bacon-wrapped dates, caprese skewers, tri-tip, peach glazed chicken, stuffed portabello mushrooms, roasted potatoes, beet and walnut salad, spinach salad, and polenta. Diane and her team are wonderful and highly recommended! read more

In search of a caterer for my wedding, I found Diane here on Yelp. We got in contact with her and she had my fiancé my parents and myself over to her house for dinner. She made appetizers, and a full meal for us all. Everything was absolutely amazing. We left and all decided on the drive home that we were going to go with her for our wedding. From the day we signed contracts to the day of the wedding she was hands on and gave amazing advice for how things should go. Fast forward- the food at our wedding. We chose to go with the chicken and filet for our meats. Worth every penny. You could cut your filet with a fork. Perfectly prepared, the flavor was unreal and I was constantly hearing people ask if they could go back for more. She had a plate of appetizers for my husband and I at our table when we returned from pictures, and following the appetizers we received a full plate of food. Unbelievable. I'm so happy we went with her and so thankful for everything she did to make our day perfect. She worked her booty off and it definitely showed. I will without a doubt use her for any future events. read more
