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.

Cheers Event Rentals - Table setting

I contacted several event rental companies to provide chairs, tables and linens for a baby shower…read moreto be held in a park just down the street from us in Ventura. Cheers Event Rentals was very responsive to my inquiry and their prices were very competitive. The shower was only going to have about 35 people so it was a pretty small party and yet Cheers was very accommodating to our needs. Talking to Jessica on the phone was reassuring that all of the items were going to be delivered without any problems. Cheers came up with a great idea of delivering everything to the park in their trailer on Saturday morning so we could unload and then leaving the trailer so that we could load the chairs, tables and linens back into the trailer for them to pick up later. Since our event was small, all the other vendors were going to delivery the items to my house on Friday and pick up on Monday. This really saved us the trouble and time to move everything to and from our house on the day of the shower. We met Jessica at the park in the morning and everything worked out great with the convenience of having their trailer right there when we were done. Working with Jessica and Cheers Events was a very good experience and I would suggest contacting them if you are in need to rent items for your event. Our experience with Cheers was great and I'm sure yours will be too!!

Very responsive, easy to work with. Showed up when they said they would. They were also had…read morehelpful recommendations. We will use them again for our next event.

I hired Heather for my destination wedding out in Ventura California. BEST DECISION I HAVE MADE FOR…read moreMY WEDDING. She got all my vendors lined up (all I had to do was pay), she gave me more than what I could ask for esthetically, she is not only an amazing planner, but an amazing human being. If you're wanting a wedding planner that knows her thing, its her. She helped me all the way from Oklahoma. Thank you Heather, Three Sisters Team, and her in-house florist Courtney. You made my wedding everything I wanted and more.

Disappointing experience with full-service wedding planning:…read more We hired Heather at Three Sisters Events for the "Whole Shebang" full-service wedding planning package and terminated our agreement after over seven months. It was nowhere near what we expected or what was advertised. I was the bride and Heather's primary point of contact, so most communication went through me. My husband was involved behind the scenes. I kept him updated, we discussed concerns together, and both agreed to move on. To be fair, Heather was responsive when we reached out, especially by text. But that was also the problem. We were almost always initiating conversations, asking for updates, and following up. At one point, I intentionally stopped initiating contact for over a month to see if she would take the lead. Nothing changed. Our package advertised monthly meetings, design assistance, budgeting, vendor coordination, guest accommodations, and stationery support. In seven months, we had only TWO planning meetings. Other services never happened or required repeated prompting. We raised our concerns multiple times. Heather would say things like "trust the professional," "enjoy the process," or explain that she adapted her approach to each couple. We wanted to trust her and enjoy being engaged, but kept wondering what was being handled. Things might improve briefly, but we'd end up right back where we started. The budgeting was especially frustrating. Instead of helping us understand what was realistic for our guest count, rentals, and vision, Heather put together numbers that seemed to fit on paper. Once actual vendor quotes came in, we realized how far off they were. Our new planner finally gave us a realistic picture of the costs. We weren't expecting someone to magically make everything cheaper. We needed experienced guidance to make informed decisions. Design was another huge disappointment. The mockups were basic, and our new planner discovered that the table sizes and quantities in Heather's reception layout didn't actually fit the venue space. That's the kind of thing I expected a professional wedding planner to know. We researched rentals and layouts without the guidance we paid for. Looking back, those seven months were incredibly stressful. We hired a full-service planner to help manage things we didn't know how to handle ourselves. We wanted to be involved in planning our wedding, not responsible for managing the person we'd hired to plan it. That wasn't what we expected from the highest-tier package. Eventually, we hired another planner just months before our wedding. Yes, it meant losing our deposit and paying someone else, but the difference was night and day. Our new planner took ownership, used structured planning tools to keep us organized and involved, communicated proactively, helped us make realistic decisions, and brought our design vision together. For the first time, we actually felt like we could enjoy the process. After switching, we requested a partial refund of $900 from the $1,836 deposit we paid, considering the services we felt we hadn't received. Heather never responded. I hesitated to write this and waited until after our wedding so I could reflect rather than react out of frustration. There's more I could share, but Google reviews have limits! I wish we'd understood what to expect before hiring Three Sisters Events. Heather may be a better fit for coordinating a wedding you've mostly planned yourself. But if you need true full-service planning, I'd strongly encourage you to ask exactly what that support includes. We genuinely wish we'd switched sooner. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of, but that success came after the difficult and costly decision to replace a planner who wasn't delivering the support we needed. We found someone who actually delivered on the promises of full-service planning. Based on our experience, we would not recommend Heather or Three Sisters Events for full-service wedding planning.
