DJ's did my wedding at Sherwood Country Club a few years back. So since they did such an outstanding job, I called on DJ's to do my 75th Birthday party, for 32 guests. Once again, I cannot express enough praise and thanks for such an outstanding catering job 5 Star++ for the food, pastries gorgeous display of the food, incredible service by Douglas throughout the party..their menu is endless..There is no comparison for any other caterera. If you are planning a special event, you need to call DJ's!

DJs is an excellent choice for wedding catering. We worked with Doug and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The food prepared by DJs was absolutely delicious - a lot of our guests told us that it was the best wedding food they ever had (and we totally agree!). From the tasting to the wedding day, the entire DJs staff was very friendly and efficient. We would recommend DJs catering to anyone looking for a high quality wedding caterer.

One of the BEST Vendors to hire for your wedding day (and any special event you have)!! Selecting DJ's California Catering to cater our wedding was one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding day! Doug and his team understand how important your wedding day is and pay attention to all the details that matter to you! Doug worked with my husband and I to create a menu that allowed for our favorite foods to be present (mine being pasta, his being potatoes), while including other delicious food that was allergen-friendly but could easily be enjoyed by all of our guests! We were very pleased with the quality of the food the day of and that our guests went back for seconds and thirds. While the food was incredible, their staff was just as fantastic! They made sure to attend to all of our guests and that they were well taken care of! My husband and I also appreciated the special attention that the lead caterer of that night gave us, making sure we were well fed and had our favorite cocktails on hand at all times. DJ's Catering has an incredibly professional, friendly, and personable staff that will make you want to go back to them to cater all of your events again and again! You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you again Doug and Team for ALL you did for us and our special day!

Highly recommend DJ's for wedding events (and all events for that matter)! DJ's provided rentals and catered our wedding on 7/1/23 - EXCELLENT service all around. Doug was easy to communicate with, worked out reasonable pricing, and was more than accommodating. Servers were quick and efficient with food service. Hors d'oeuvres, entrees, and dessert was absolutely delicious. Book 'em ASAP for your next event! Photos: LeLovelyLotus, @lelovelylotus Venue: Lions Park, @carpinterialionspark

Doug was professional, accommodating, and a joy to work with on our recent wedding. DJ's provided everything we needed to host our friends and family in style! They truly are a one-stop shop for your event and party needs... tables, chairs, linens, plates, and flatware, servers, bar tenders, and an excellent catering menu... they have it all! They worked closely with us in preparing gluten free, vegan, and meat options to fit all our dietary needs. Highly recommended!

We hired DJ's for our wedding at Gerry Ranch. They were one of Gerry's exclusive vendors and working with them was a breeze. We had to postpone our 2020 wedding to 2021 due to the pandemic, and DJ's was accommodating. So many guests complimented the food, the bartender service, the s'mores bar, and even the display. Service was great and everything was beautifully put together.

Beautiful table settings at our Malibu Wedding!!

See all

I should have known it's just a catering location. Not a walk in and order a sandwich place. Maybe owner should mention this on Yelp.

Highly recommended!Shoutout to Chef Ray Swanson of Chef 805 Catering for an absolutely incredible…read moreexperience. My wife and I attended a friend's birthday party where Chef Ray handled the catering, and the food was truly outstanding. Having spent 22 years in the food service industry myself, I'm not easily impressed--but the presentation, flavors, and overall execution were exceptional. Every item was fantastic. The bruschetta with goat cream cheese was fresh and perfectly balanced. The seared ahi tuna bites were beautifully prepared, and the shrimp spring rolls with ginger peanut sauce were bursting with flavor. Even the flatbread pizza with Caesar salad was spot-on. One great dish after another--we were honestly stuffed by the end of the night. What stood out most was the attention to detail and restaurant-quality presentation, something you rarely see at private catered events. Chef Ray clearly takes pride in his craft, and it shows in every bite. We're already looking forward to the next event he caters at our friend's house--and we'll definitely be using Chef 805 Catering for one of our own parties in the future. -- Anil

We ordered deviled eggs, bacon wrapped dates, jalapeno poppers and caprese skewers for the appetizers. We also did brisket and pulled pork with Spanish rice, mac n cheese, potato salad and coleslaw for dinner. And everything was so yummy! I echo what many others have shared in that Jorge is incredibly professional and responsive. Him and the team really go above and beyond - from ensuring the set up was done nicely, to the color table cloth we preferred, they really want to make sure everything is done thoughtfully. I got married in La Arboleda in the Lompoc area and had interviewed many other wedding caterers. Many of which charged an arm and a leg for every item - literally, serving spoons, chafing dishes, linens, tables, every piece had a markup fee as well for convenience even though they were all likely rented from the same rental company that I could have rented from directly. Jorge gave the option for an inclusive flat rate set-up and service fee which was so much more reasonable and simple. I am so incredibly happy with the food and service we got from SmokeMeOut BBQ and highly recommend them for catering.

Scott responded within a few hours and was available to talk it through, suggest ideas and accommodate any and all guidelines we provided.

They were very friendly, kind, professional and caring. The food was delicious! They walked around to make sure everyone had everything they needed and even provided full service on putting together the perfect bagel bite with all the toppings. They packed up all the leftovers and cleaned up so we didn't have to do a thing! We could not have asked for a better experience!

We're still getting compliments from our guests about the food and their team's exceptional service even 3 months later. Glenn and Lorraine worked with us through two tastings to craft a menu that was not only delicious but able to be adapted to suit dietary restrictions. Our guests were so impressed at their servers for greeting them by name to confirm dietary restrictions before dinner began. Every random ask and need we had throughout the planning process was no problem -- Lorraine Lim Catering had thought of every nuance and small detail from the full kitchen build to chilling our 6L bottle of champagne to making sure the bride and groom actually ate. (Glenn literally hand delivered a bowl of ice cream to me as if he knew that's exactly what I wanted -- talk about surprise and delight!) We also did a full bar but brought in our own alcohol -- Glenn helped us confirm what to buy, and their bartenders were so organized and had great energy throughout the evening. Total pros! Passed appetizers: * Oysters in the half shell (Kumamotos and Pacifics) with mignonette sauce * Chicken satay with Thai-style peanut sauce * BLT crostini with basil aioli Dinner: * Ojai orange balsamic salad * Beef tenderloin with thyme garlic butter & brandy peppercorn sauce * Salmon with tamari soy & ginger-scallion sauce * Summer vegetable quinoa pilaf * Rosemary roasted potatoes & seasonal vegetables Desserts: * McConnell's of Santa Barbara ice cream bar * Chocolate cake with hazelnut mousse (small wedding cake for cutting) * Chocolate pot de creme * Summer stone fruit tart with mascarpone Late night snacks: * Oven baked tater tots with garlic aioli & ketchup Thank you Glenn, Lorraine, and team for just being such incredible partners and delivering such an incredible experience to us and our guests on our wedding day!

We can't say enough…read morewonderful things about working with Naomi and the Seasons team as well as how DELICIOUS all the food was! During and after our wedding, our guests raved about how delicious everything was from the specialty cocktails, apps, and dinner! Everything was perfectly timed, our guests were very well fed, and we were so incredibly happy with our decision to hire them. A few things that stood out! Naomi and the team were so helpful during the contracting and menu selection process, they were very communicative, responsive, and helped with recommendations. The menu tasting was so incredibly fun and fancy! We loved getting to try so many items and getting to tweak any dishes to our liking. Food was an incredibly important part of our wedding day. Both my husband and I are foodies and we have been to several friends weddings were food was just 'meh'. We couldn't have been happier with the food ourselves and loved that our guests were also so pleased with the food (had multiple guests ask about if we had the recipes for certain dishes that were served!!). We went with a bread and dill compote butter, delicious arugula salad, great steak and salmon mains, and a potato and pea/asparagus salad sides (see menu pic for details). You will not regret hiring Seasons for your wedding or event and we are so grateful we did! Outside of the food and drinks being amazing, the staff, service, and bartenders, were the best! Thanks for being such a big and wonderful part of our biggest day, Seasons team! pics via: @wearemattandjess
