Highly recommend if you're looking for a caterer that's passionate about food and service.

Oh and his rum soaked pineapples plated with delicious ice cream topped with toasted coconut! I know! Mouth is watering, right?

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!

We were hosting an event that I was also unfamilair with the location as we were travling from Northern California. AB was great! She ended up scoping out the location beforhand so come day of the catering services knew exaclty where to go. For an all day meeting, they provided both breakfast and lunch items and made sure there was enough coffee for the guests. I was really grateful for the food quality and the service. I had several compliments from the attendees from the event about how good the slections were. I enjoyed the flexibility and the ease of accommodating dietery restrictions without having to pivot the whole menu. The guests had something that was though out instead of a last minute thought or just vegetables. Overall would use again if I am in the Monterey area.

She arrived with her sous chef Brett and together they worked their magic with great efficiency. We were all so impressed with the outcome as it really elevated the experience making for a special dinner for mom and us all.

The presentation and layout is the talk of the town and we overheard our guests saying that this is the best food that they've ever had at a wedding.

If you have the privilege of getting married at The Holly Farm you will have the incredible…read moreopportunity to have La Crème be your caterer/bartenders/decorators/rental coordinator/etc all weekend long! I will start by prefacing that La Crème + Holly Farm give their 1000% to every wedding that happens at their venue, which means you won't really begin working with La Crème until about 2-3 months prior to your wedding date. The first month or so will be spent talking through ideas and inspiration, likely doing your tasting (which is a literal 5 star experience) and the last two months is where you will really get a final breakdown of cost and timeline. If you are a slightly anxious/overly organized bride like me, I know this can seem stressful. I suggest you ask them early on for a realistic estimate based on the number of guests and events you will be having. And then..add an extra 15% on top of that, and set that money aside as you are going through your planning process, because trust me, you won't want to skimp on what La Crème has to offer. Now that the money talk is out of the way.. the service and food that La Crème provides is out of this world. We had an Indian/Mexican fusion wedding and had all our food and alcohol handled by La Crème for the entire weekend. It's not a typical process where you pick from a list of options based on a fixed menu with prices. La Crème creates every menu from scratch based on the couple and their preferences, and then they adjust based on your budget. Chef Joe and Tamie's team had just a few conversations with us about our cultures, favorite foods, family preferences and then they created an entire world personalized to who we are as people. Perfectly marrying the cultural cuisines in a fun yet respectful way, taking our request to dedicate a bar to our dads and creating the *cutest* Dad Cave with all their favorite brands of Scotch & Mezcal, and seamlessly making everything appear and disappear like magic. Aside from the food being incredible, our guests felt taken care of at every moment. They are not just caterers, they are the people who make sure you aren't getting too chilly in the evenings, they are the energy keeping the drinks flowing at the bar as friends order round after round (after round), they are your partners when families decide the day of the wedding they are coming and you need to change the seating arrangement, they are a familiar face that comes up to you at the reception and tells you how happy they are for you. They are everything you could want, you just need to have faith that they will step in when it's your turn and they will blow you away at your wedding. A special shout out to Tamie, Chef Joe, and the sweetest Soquel for making us feel so special all weekend long and treating our family like your own. We are so lucky to have worked with you :)

Working on the menu together was a joy. He listened closely to what mattered to us, and where we didn't have strong opinions, we trusted his suggestions completely. They were spot-on. I wanted to honor my Filipino heritage, and he wove island flavors into an Italian-forward menu in a way that felt thoughtful and seamless. We also needed everything to be gluten-free, and he handled it so well that no one would have known. The bruschetta with peach-glazed pork belly was a highlight, and our guests are still talking about the braised short ribs. On the day, he and his team were professional, calm, and ran everything smoothly, so we could just enjoy ourselves. If food matters to you, book Chef Hyson. We couldn't recommend him more highly.
