Okay people! If you are getting married in the Big bear/ San Bernardino Mountains then you need to do yourselves a favor and hire Dream 2 table. This review is long over due, because I honestly want to do everything within my power to support this team. Lauren Creed was the caterer to my wedding (and the owner of Dream2Table) and she, along with her killer staff, did a flawless job with everything involving food and table set up. On top of that Lauren is the most down to earth, fun loving and kind person to talk to during the hectic process of preparing for the most expensive and elaborate party of our lives (because lets face it, thats what a good wedding is all about). Now if you're just looking for some positive reviews you can stop here, but if you want a detailed account of why i think Lauren and her team are so awesome, read on...
I recently got married in the Big Bear Mountains at a little bed and Breakfast called Gold Mountain Manor (a spectacular venue if your looking). My fiance at the time and I were looking for a particular style of food on a fairly tight budget. Mexican Japanese fusion food isn't exactly the easiest to tackle. We seriously talked to 3 caterers after doing A LOT of research, none of which were Dream 2 Table. One of them had an amazing menu for us, but was way out of our budget, and the other caterer had really good vibes and said they were willing to work with us on our ideal 'Mexican Japanese fusion' menu. So we went with the latter because they had an easy going vibe and were in our budget. Turns out this caterer was not the right fit for us, it was REALLY hard to get a timely response from this business, and they kept changing their can do attitude to, you should just stick to our already prepared standard all American menu. Lots of things went wrong with this caterer that caused a lot of unnecessary stress, but I wont bore you with those details. In the end, this other caterer was not on their A game with us, so we cut our losses and found ourselves in desperate need of another caterer, fast.
It's at this time our venue Manager at Gold Mountain Manor recommended we talk to a lovely woman by the name Lauren Creed; who had been doing large party catering for years, and recently started her own business. THANK THE UNIVERSE!!!! I quickly saw with Lauren that she actually cared about her presentation, our input, and the food! From the very beginning, Lauren asked questions that let me know how much care she was putting into my wedding, and more than that she was just a delight to talk to. I genuinely felt like she was my friend helping me bring together an amazing dinner set up. None of the problems I had with the previous caterer were present with Lauren, she was always willing to help and make suggestions while also more than happy to receive feedback. You can tell right away that this woman cares about what she does, and wants to make sure her clients/ friends feel good about everything.
Out of all the services we hired for our wedding, which were all pretty awesome, Lauren and her team at Dream 2 Table were the most fun to work with and maybe, probably, my absolute favorite (shhh don't tell the others). Seriously, all the vendors were pretty close to perfect, so that is some serious competition. If you ask around enough in the big bear lake area, all the good vendors know each other, and I heard nothing but good things about Lauren when her name came up during the wedding planning. Turns out this is for a good reason. I consider Lauren Creed a friend now, and can't wait to watch her business flourish and become a huge success, which I see as inevitable.
So like I said, do yourselves a favor if your looking for catering in the San Bernardino Mountains/Area, call up Dream 2 Table. read more
