From the very beginning, the communication was thoughtful, organized, and tailored to our preferences and dietary needs. The evening itself was truly unforgettable.

The food was so good and our guests raved about it even after the event. We opted for a multi course plated service and everything was delicious, presented so beautifully and made fresh local ingredients that truly wowed us all. 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!

Beforehand, we worked with Jessica to develop an all-vegan menu, and she prepared a tasting meal for us. We wanted our wedding meal to be southern-themed, and Jessica came up with creative and tasty all-vegan options - macaroni and cheese, grits, collard greens, biscuits, bbq tofu, and a peach salad! Plus vegan fried chicken and waffles as an appetizer that guests raved about. We were very pleased with the tasting and decided to hire her for our wedding. The pandemic put our plans on a year+ long hiatus, but Jessica stayed in contact with us throughout and made herself available on the day of our wedding. She also made time to come by the wedding venue a few weeks beforehand to scope things out, which was really helpful. On the wedding day, Jessica showed up right on time, and dinner was ready exactly when it was needed. She also worked with us on pandemic-related precautions, which was appreciated. Overall, it was a really great experience, and we highly recommend Jessica and Humble Bumble Catering.

We worked with Hollie for over a year leading up to our wedding at the Wind and Sea Estate in Big Sur in September of 2023. An elegant dining experience with top notch food and service was what we wanted to create for our wedding, and Hollie and her team delivered that and so much more. We worked closely with Hollie over the months to craft an elevated dining experience starting with passed apps and a grazing table followed by a 3 course plated dinner menu and finished with a delectable fall themed dessert. We were lucky enough to meet Hollie 7 months before the event to get to know her, taste some of her incredible food, and work on the menu together. Throughout the whole process, Hollie was extremely flexible and creative in crafting our menu to be just how we wanted, customizing every little detail to make it perfect. She was SO organized and very communicative in the months leading up to the wedding. She also was a huge help in determining all of the rentals we needed to curate a beautiful and elevated dining experience for our guests, all the way down to the correct number of forks! I don't even know where to begin when it comes to the day of the wedding. Hollie and her team of at least 7 people created the most memorable, elevated and magical experience for us and all of our guests. The waitstaff was top notch, providing better service than we have received at many restaurants. It was the perfect dinner party to celebrate our wedding! It's hard to put into words how delicious the food was. We so appreciate that Hollie uses ingredients from lots of local vendors and provides the highest quality items in her dishes. The food was exploding with flavor, perfectly cooked and so fresh. Every little detail in each course did not go unnoticed, we savored every bite! Our guests cannot stop talking about how it was one of the best dining experiences they ever had. We are already trying to plan when we can work with Hollie again. Thank you for the most perfect day!
