    We cannot say enough about the amazing job that Laura, Caitlin, and their Five Star Catering team did for our May wedding at Waterfall Lodge and Retreat in Ben Lomond! Laura was so easy to communicate with and so very flexible with the menu. When we did our pre-wedding planning, it was so easy to bounce ideas off of her and to work with her to craft our unique menu based on recommendations she had. When it was time for our in-person tasting, she was very attentive to the details that we wanted and was very accommodating when it came to subtle changes we wanted to make to the wedding menu so that we could accommodate all of our guests. Also, when we expressed our interest in designing custom signature cocktails, Caitlin at Five Star was very open to the idea and very helpful in coming up with unique recipes that fit the vision for our special day. When the wedding day rolled around, wow! The appetizers and dinner buffet were amazing! Such delicious food and so much of it! Our guests raved the entire night and for weeks after the wedding about how delicious the wedding food was and how full they were from the buffet-styled set-up we had! They were all so happy with the food and the service that Five Star provided! And the signature cocktails were so popular! People loved the uniqueness of the drinks and kept coming back for more! As for us, the newlyweds, we were busy running around with the photographer getting photos taken for much of the afternoon. But that didn't stop Five Star from sending two attendants out to us with our signature cocktails and warm appetizers so that we could have them fresh! That little gesture was so nice and really telling of how great and detail oriented the team at Five Star Catering is! They really take good care for you and everyone else at the wedding. And at the end of the night, Five Star cleaned up and left nicely packaged leftovers from the wedding so that we could enjoy our delicious wedding food (that we didn't really have a chance to eat during the wedding) for a few days! It was very nice to know that the food wouldn't go to waste and that they would take care of making sure everything was cleaned up and packaged accordingly. We had heard so many good things about Five Star when looking for wedding caterers. Because how many things they offered as part of the wedding package, how cost effective they were in many ways, how good their food was, and how great their staff were. It's crazy to think that despite knowing all of that, they really did an awesome job and exceeded our expectations! So thankful to Laura, Caitlin, and the team for their amazing job! Can't recommend them enough for anyone looking for a caterer that fine tunes things and caters to your needs and takes care of you with great food and amazing service!

    Five Star Catering is INCREDIBLE!! I am not one to leave reviews (I think this is my first ever haha... but I had to this time!) I cannot sing the praises of Five Star Catering enough! From start to finish of the wedding planning process they excelled in communicating, understanding our vision, working with our budget, and making us feel so taken care of. The wedding day could not have gone more smoothly. The appetizers were gorgeous and our guests raved about them, the drinks from the bar were so creatively done and the hard huckleberry lemonade they helped us to create as one of our signature drinks was a HUGE hit with the guests! The wedding feast was absolutely delicious. My husband and I were so impressed by the presentations and especially taste of the food. IT WAS SOOOO GOOD. Five Star Catering's wedding food is not your typical "wedding food." We all felt like we went out to a five star restaurant and guests were non stop talking about how tasty all of the food was. The service staff was just wonderful. They were all so kind and professional! Every glass of wine was full, plates were cleared quickly, they switched to coffee and desserts seamlessly, they didn't miss a beat. It was wonderful. And the late night nacho bar was so darn good!! Us and our friends and family were so well taken care of all night. We did not have to worry about a thing on the night of our wedding thanks to Five Star Catering. Our wedding reception was made so perfect thanks to Laura and her Five Star Catering crew! Laura puts her heart and soul into making every wedding a dream come true and thats what my husband and I felt at our wedding. We cannot thank you enough Five Star Catering!! You made our wedding day the best EVER. 110% Recommend them to any couple getting married and looking for a caterer. They do so much more than just the food!!

    The name says it all.. Truly a five-star experience with Five-Star Catering on the day of our wedding. From the beginning, Five-Star was super easy to work with; up-front pricing, options to personalize to our individual taste, very communicative and friendly throughout the process. Then there's the food.. The stuffed chicken breast, tri tip, vegetables, and rice were perfectly cooked, and loved by all our guests. Even our 'food snobby' guests raved about the food that Five-Star Catering provided. Their wait staff were so kind and helpful on the day of our wedding. Truly could not imagine a better catering experience for our big day. Easy five out of five stars for Five-Star Catering. Thanks for helping make our big day so lovely. Cheers! -Sean & Nina Murphy

    Five Star Catering's name is no misnomer! They were excellent in all respects when we used them to cater our wedding -- their food was delicious (so many of our guests were shocked that this was how good wedding food could be!), their service was fantastic and they were extremely organized and easy to work with. We used the Farm to Table menu which I highly recommend. My friends and family are still talking about their grilled artichokes. I worked with Wendy the most, who was extremely sweet and so professional -- her and the rest of the 5 Star Staff made my life so easy on the day of the wedding and even before -- they worked with the furniture rental company to take care of almost everything and things appeared before the wedding and disappeared after it before my eyes. Thank you for everything, Wendy and 5 Star! You are fantastic!

    I was the mother of the bride, and we financed the October 2019 wedding at the beautiful Sand Rock Farm in Aptos. The venue has a number of required vendors they work with, and Five Star Catering was one of them. Fortunately, they were fabulous to work with, and we could not have been happier with all that they did on our wedding day. How often do you actually hear people compliment wedding food? We have received so many emails complimenting the food and the staff. There were delicious passed appetizers and drinks during the cocktail hour and dinner was served family-style at round tables. It was perfect! When I had questions and concerns prior to the wedding, Wendy in the office, was quick to reply and so helpful. They even thoughtfully packaged up the leftovers for the couple as they missed much of the dinner during the sunset photo session. We could not be happier with Five Star Catering. Thank you for making our day so special!

    Kristina and Sheena go above and beyond! We recently had Five Star Catering for a Mother's Day Event and they were truly amazing. We will for sure be using them again for years to come!

    Laura and 5-star catering provided the catering for our wedding in Carmel Valley, and while I was entrusted with only two jobs as the groom (food & booze), I feel like Laura and her team made me look far more capable then I actually am. My guests raved about the food being the best they'd ever had at a wedding. Laura's menu was not only incredible (the chicken with pine nuts and cheese, the salmon crostinis, the tri tip, and the pork stuffed mushrooms appetizers were big hits), but her knowledge of the venue and her flawless setup and attention to detail made me feel like 5-star was doubling as the event coordinator. She helped us map out everything, from the table arrangements for eating, to all the ancillary setups for gifts/cards/audio mixer for speeches, etc. Laura's team was so flexible and adaptable during the event as well. They were able to shift seats to accommodate unexpected guests, as well working seamlessly with the florist to arrange the garlands and centerpieces beautifully. If the quality of the food alone wasn't enough to convince you (which I assure you it will be after the tasting... show up hungry!) Laura was my most trusted vendor to speak to about any apprehensions I had about how to handle any details at the venue (possible rain, having to shift to indoor options at a largely outdoor venue, etc). Laura and 5-star catering were incredible, and I promise you, if you're choosing a caterer and considering 5-star, you won't regret it for a second. Go with them. -Bob

    "No one likes the food at weddings, but yours was actually really delicious." We heard this over and over again after Five Star catered our wedding. And it was true! Our wedding food rivaled that at expensive restaurants. I'm still craving it. There wasn't a single dish that missed the mark. Five Star has some very talented chefs. Not only was the food delicious, but the servers were great as well. They were professional, prompt, and even took special care to make sure that we ate. While everything was served family style, we were at a sweetheart table and they actually took the time to make us heaping plates of delicious food. They also did a great job with our drinks. Our bar and cocktails were beautiful and kept everyone well "hydrated" :) If you're looking for wedding food that your guests will actually rave about, Five Star is the catering team to choose!

    I am an event planner and I tried Laura's food during one of our events and I was amazed by how delicious it was. I also loved how organized the service was, it was smooth, professional and well managed. From now on Five Star Catering is my number 1 caterer to recommend to my dear clients. Laura worked with our event theme Masquerade, she added many decor touches as fresh flowers, glass raisers, vases with fillers. We worked together so well! In any party food and guest service are very important and they were amazing!!!

    The best appetizers!!

    This review is very belated. We had Talaveras Tacos cater an event for ~70 people at a park last…read moresummer. They were wonderful to work with, from start to finish: very responsive to our initial inquiries, pricing was as expected, and the team showed up on time and was ready to serve food on time. They also packed up the leftovers before they left so that latecomers could still eat. My only critique was that the elotes didn't look like the pic on Yelp. But everything was delicious, and people were going back for more!

While the food eventually arrived, the experience leading up to and during the event was fraught with unnecessary stress. Initial communication was great, but it trailed off as we got closer to the date. Despite their "quick response" phone number, my calls and texts went completely ignored. To make matters worse, the voicemail changed from a personal greeting to a generic one 72 hours before my event, leaving me terrified that we had been scammed. We increased our headcount from 65 to 75 a week prior. After being told this was fine, I was sent an incorrect invoice that ignored the new guest count and asked for a second $300 deposit I had already paid. It took multiple follow-up emails just to get a confirmation on the final numbers. On the day of, the staff arrived promptly and set up on time. However, only 30 minutes into service--with only 30 of our 75 guests fed--they completely ran out of cilantro, onions, and grilled peppers. When I followed up the next day, they claimed they prepared for "70 guests." Even if that were true, it wasn't the 75 we paid for, and it certainly doesn't explain running out of basic toppings after 30 people. I'm incredibly glad we didn't use them for our wedding last year as originally planned. It's disappointing when the service doesn't match the reputation. 2 stars for due prompt service and the guests that got all the food really enjoyed the steak & shrimp.

I highly recommend their short ribs, baked havarti oysters, and do not pass on Bruces famous brownies! We absolutely loved how great the team was to work with as well. From the very beginning Bruce listened to the tastes/foods that were important to us and delivered on our special day. Jordan was a true hero handling our event rentals and making sure we had everything we needed for our bar service. Both were very responsive the entire time, and even hosted us for a tasting a few months prior to the event allowing us to sample what we were getting ourselves in to. I'd like to add that we also played a round of golf with them- these guys really love what they do and the people that they get to work with and it was really special for us to gain friends along the way. Thank you guys again for such a wonderful experience and we can't wait to work with you again soon!

She's creative, patient, and such a wonderful person to work with. Poetry in Motin (PIM) was one of the prefered vendors at Nestldown. Karen has a personal relationship with the owners and we can see why she was most preferred. We considerd 3 vendors to cater for the wedding but went with Karen @ PIM for the following reasons: 1. Karen is so sweet to work with. She,very patiently, waited for my son and his now wife to decide on the type of food they wanted at their wedding. She asked them to give her an idea of their fav foods so that she could recommend and present us with a potentila menu. We went through about 2-3 menu options before finally deciding on a menu. Karen also gave us a wonderful complimentary tasting at her home. It was cozy and the food samples were delicious! I was lucky to be included in the tastings. We had to do 2 tastings because my son and his wife changed the entire menu after the initial tasting. 2. The couple were very specific about the signature cocktails they wanted to serve. Karen worked with them to get their particular drink ingredients into the cocktails. While we did not do a tasting of the cocktails, she and her team, nailed it. My son is an avid bourbon drinker and wanted his old fashioned with specific brands of bourbon etc. Karen worked with us on this - she asked us to give her the recipe so that her crew can create it. 3. Karen and her team were on top of everything as the wedding month approached. We chatted via email as well as phone calls to fine tune the menu, order items and place settings. 4. Nestldown uses a specific software for wedding planning and Lauren, Karen's assistant, worked with me on the seating chart. I was not able to input the actual chart into the Nestldown system so Loren did this for me. I also messed up on the seating arrangements and Loren was very patient in working with me to re-number the seats and make sure that I had the correct people seated at the correct table! Of course, we had to change the seating arrangement as our guest count changed. 5. On the day of the wedding, Karen and her crew were just amazing. Our guests enjoyed their meal and everyone commented on how delicious it was. Karen also added in extra appetizers to our menu - Thank you, Karen! So appreciative of this. 6. The wedding at Nestldown was held at different locations so Karen and her crew had to manage the drinks and food as we changed locations. We had passed appetizers at the Koi Pond area. Our 100 guests were spread out and Karen made sure that everyone was taken care of. We had dinner on the main lawn and it was a plated meal. Everyone was served their meal on time and the food was served at the perfect temperature. I did not see too many plates with any food left on it! A special shout out to Karen - who made sure that my youngest son, who is a picky eater and had some food allergies, was taken are of. she made him a very special meal The couple were well taken care of. They were able to enjoy every bit of the food we served. My son and daughter-in-law were so happy and totally enjoyed their special day. I was bummed that I did not get to sample any of the desserts that were served as they were devoured. I saw them displayed and they looked beautiful. Our guests were totally enjoying the desserts. We had tiramisu, assorted fruit tarts and wedding cupcakes. At the end of the evening, Karen and her crew neatly packed up our car with any remaining cupcakes, alcohol/wines. I would work with Karen and her crew again for any future events.
