My good friend Jenny used Farm to Table for her wedding in Graeagle, CA last year. I fell in love with the wonderful quality of the food and was happy to hear that she was enjoyed her correspondence with them even though her wedding at an estimated 250+. She spoke highly of them, and also sang praises about their flexibility.
My wedding was in Vallejo, CA this October. It was a long way for them to travel, but they were willing to do it, even thought my event was only at 100 people. Jennifer was a saint, and we were able to take care of all of our business online after the first initial walk-through of the venue. She assisted me in coordinating my rentals, and even though I had to order a convection oven for my wedding, she kept costs reasonable by maintaining a fair rate at our original budget. The travel fees I paid for to get them there were well worth it. EVERYONE who attended my wedding said the food was top notch. I am a firm believer that people always remember the food at a wedding, and I made sure those memories were good ones by picking Jennifer and Carlos.
I also requested bar service and a bar-back, and they did an excellent job as well. Jenny (not be be confused with Jenny, co-owner, or Jenny, my friend) was one of the bar-backs I spoke with and she was so wonderfully pleasant and complimented me on being such a "chill bride". I really love that Jennifer (co-owner) hires young people as well, because I also worked for a catering company as a high school student. It's hard work, but it teaches work ethic, and she manages them well. Carlos was cooking away most of the wedding so I did not have a chance to see him at all, but all my love to that man, he is a cooking fool!!
But, the most important things that they did for me are as follows.
1. Checked in with me to make sure I had what I needed.
2. Set aside appetizers for my husband and I while we did photos, as well as a full Bride and Groom meal and leftovers for after the wedding.
3. Cleaned up everything beautifully and left the remaining piles of decor and booze in an easy place for take away.
4. Went to bat for me when the rental place tried to charge me an additional fee when certain things were not accounted for on their end. When I reached out to Jennifer to confirm the missing items, she said there was no way we had left out so much and called the rental company herself. I got an email the next day stating that the rental company found the missing items and the fees had been dropped.
I really did my best to be a chill bride, and it was much easier when I was really able to trust my caterer. I highly recommend Farm to Table Catering to anyone who wants good food, an accommodating pair of owners, and an unforgettable dining experience that sets your event apart from the rest. read more
