I took my mom to a wedding tasting and am so glad I tried Andrew's food before hiring his catering…read moreservice for my wedding. 1. I didn't know how these food items would look or fare as buffet style. The tasting was course by course style so of course everything would be hot and whole. 2. The dishes were all hit or miss. Some too salty and others too bland/plain. The consensus of my table of 10 (5 other couples) was that the food was tasteless and not good. Whenever we asked Andrew any questions he would never answer them directly and would go off on tangents and keep telling us about how long he's been cooking ever since the origin of panda restaurant yada yada and to trust him. He would've been really difficult to work with as a vendor.

Picking Hotel Banquet was an easy choice for our wedding. We had their food at my best friends…read morewedding, Tracey, and it was so good. I asked her for her catering info and it was Andrew's! She said Andrew, the main coordinator, is very nice. He always returns my emails and phone calls promptly. He is fast with communication and remembers every little detail. He always calls a lot to check up on us and on any little detail to update which I appreciate. We were always on the same page! Looking on their website, they have courses style or buffet style for general parties and weddings. The prices are very reasonable and the food is very good. Every protein whether it was fish or pork or chicken or beef was very moist and hot served at our wedding. The caterer team arrived a bit earlier and set up everything on time. They were also very clean and concise. The buffet option also comes with a 3 tier white wedding cake that you can decorate with flowers! At our wedding, the staff gave us two huge plates of food from the buffet. However, by the time we greeted all the tables and sat down, our food was cold. The staff immediately brought us two fresh plates of food and said they'll pack the first plates for us. How thoughtful! Pros: -Andrew is so nice! He is the best! Very fast and reliable communication! -pricing is so reasonable with the amount and quality of food -cake was good! -food was delicious, served hot and fresh -buffet comes with 12 courses -buffet food also comes with soda, water and hot tea -there are scheduled food tastings available to try the food first -large variety of menu options Cons: -nothing! I am definitely recommending Andrew for all my family and friends weddings or big parties! The service is very reliable! Good food and reliable friendly service! What more can we expect? My mom and I love you Andrew! You've been so kind and helpful throughout this whole planning for the past 2 years! We appreciate your patience!

We had my daughter's wedding at Country Garden Caterers yesterday and it was truly incredible!…read more A huge thank you to Diana, our day-of coordinator. She was calm, organized, and handled every detail perfectly. She tied everything together and made the entire day go so smooth. I can't say enough about how much that meant to me. Diana had the venue looking absolutely beautiful and decorated even better than we imagined! She went above and beyond, even making sure I ate and having the waiters box up food for me to enjoy later. The food was delicious, and our guests are still talking about it! Every single staff member was so kind and took such great care of us throughout the entire event. We are so grateful to the entire team for making this day so perfect. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful and well run wedding experience.

We didn't really have a theme for her party...but Oscar asked me the color of her dress (sky blue) and it was like a fairy tale (Winter Wonderland). The staff was wonderful and accommodating. Everything was ready according to what I had planned, which was wonderful...especially when I was asked about the Toast...(totally forgot about that!!!) I appreciated soooo much being reminded of it!! Everyone is very professional. Our guests were all very happy and content, no one had anything negative to say about the party, venue or staff. Oscar and Victor... Mission accomplished!!! Thank you for everything you did to make my daughter's day special! She will for ever remember this day... We'll be in touch in a couple of years to start planning the next one...maybe sooner if my niece decides she wants one. I definitely recommend The Place Banquet Hall for your future needs. Kudos infinity!!! Gratefully, Gaby Islas

They are definitely an elite catering service as they handle every little detail (and some unexpected ones) with top-notch care and attention! Definitely loved this venue as a convenient outdoor space in the Costa Mesa area, not too far from South Coast and Westminster/Fountain Valley which made things really easy for our friends and family to navigate. There's also a beautiful vineyard nearby for photos Notes: -Wedding was 230 people outdoors on the grass/garden area -Did not have a ceremony there, though the gazebo is great for photos -Allows for outside catering, we used the venue's appetizers which were great (the grilled cheese shooters were a huge hit!) Overall, if you are looking to do something beyond a standard indoor restaurant, this garden is great as a blank canvas space to have your wedding with truly elite service and execution :D

Scramble time for us, fortunately the first call we made was to Casa Bella. The lady who helped us book a tour with Junior Rodriguez, was super helpful and nice. We then met Junior and from the instant we met him, his customer service was BAR NONE! Not only his customer service, but him going above and beyond for us. Made it absolutely easy for us to choose Casa Bella. Junior felt like he was part of our family, that's how detailed he was with us making sure we were going to be 100% satisfied with everything. Mari, his assistant is an amazing person, very helpful and made sure my wife didn't have to worry about anything during our event. She was on it!!! The entire staff, bar service, clean up crew were all amazing. Luis our bartender was on it with our guest, very classy and polite. Came to us with any questions about the serving amount and at the end he made sure to pack up any left over alcohol and offered to loaded for us. We had plenty of help, so we thanked him for everything instead. I will definitely recommend Casa Bella, Junior, Mari, Luis and the entire staff to my friends and family. Thank you Junior for helping me celebrate my 49th B-Day, you are absolutely the BEST!

We had our celebration last Sunday and were wowed by everything. The venue itself is very bright,…read morebeautiful and spacious enough for our 200 guests. The location can't be beat as well. We used their in-house DJ, sound manager, bar tenders and caterers. Everyone was exceptional and worked with us so well. Our guests enjoyed the drinks and food. A big shoutout to all the staff, security guards and helpers. The main reason I would give 10 stars to this place, if I could is Maria, their event manager. She went above and beyond to make sure our event was successful. She is professional, attentive, excellent at management and very personable. She was on top of all the details so that we could just enjoy the evening. Thank you so much Maria! I highly recommend! P.S. she makes the best Indian chai

Great Hall - Disappointing Experience I had my daughter's…read morequinceañera at Great Hall on July 6, 2024. Throughout the planning process, we had several issues and questions. However, once everything was fully paid for and the event was over, both Maria and the DJ acted as though they no longer knew us. They also forgot to play my daughter's childhood and baby pictures, which was a very special part of her celebration. I called several times afterward and received no response. Being ignored after paying for everything was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. I'm sharing my experience to make other families aware. When you're trusting a venue with such an important milestone in your child's life, you expect communication, professionalism, and follow-through--not to be ignored once the money has been collected. Note we ha over 360 guest. SMH WOULD HAVE LOVED GIVE A STAR.

The place itself is great for a wedding or any event really. The chapel is large , which is next to the cocktail lounge, which is then next to the reception room. All very nicely placed to transition from ceremony to reception. We had about 160 guest and the entire space felt ample and not crowded. There was plenty of parking and a very nice garden for pictures. Everything is very well maintained. Josie and the rest of the staff, to include the owners were fantastic. They really have the whole operation down pat. They worked with us from beginning to end by helping us prepare for the wedding to executing the ceremony and schedule flawlessly. Many of our guests were complimenting the venue and some even asking for the information. Food was great, drinks were great, we couldn't have asked for a better venue. Highly recommend. We also recommend the photographer they recommended Darren. Pictures don't do this place justice, Must see in person. Thanks again Garden Room!
