We recently used Kitty's Catering for the reception at my mother-in-laws Memorial Service. Kitty was always responsive to my communications and was even proactive in asking questions about what we wanted and what to ask the church for at the venue. The food setup was beautiful and very orderly for ~120 guests. Hiring Kitty to cater our event was the best decision that I made for the memorial service. I watched them set up the food and drink tables and during the event they even bussed the tables which I was not expecting. It was a lot of work that if I had not hired Kitty we would have had to do and thankfully we had hired her and her team. Would definitely use Kitty's Catering for our next event. read more

Kitty's Catering is definitely a five star! She did it again! This is the second time I've used her and she's amazing! She decorated the food area in black and gold and what a presentation! She made three amazing appetizers, bruschetta, stuffed mushrooms, tomato basil mozzarella skewers. She and her assistant passed them out to my guests. How professional!! Then she made a pasta bar, chicken piccata, and a great green salad! My 50 guests were so pleased. They gave me tons of compliments on the party and the credit all goes to Kitty. She picked up plates and cups, emptied the trash, and cleaned up spick and spam!! I feel overjoyed to have found her! She's my go to forever!! read more

Just used Kittys catering for my husband's birthday party. The food was fantastic, definitely exceeded my expectations. The setup and breakdown was seamless. Beautifully decorated tables scapes. Would highly recommend. read more

I can't say enough about Kitty!!! She is so much fun to work with. She's honest and delivers amazing food with spectacular display. I didn't know her before finding her here on Yelp...and I trusted the reviews and went for it! BEST decision I made for my husband's surprise bday party! I will definitely be using her again. read more

If I could write more than five stars, I would. I contacted Kitty after calling several caterers for my son's wedding on November 18th, which was about two weeks away. We were going to have an elegant barbecue and all pitch in since it was going to be all family but as most weddings go, there was a lot to accomplish still and I was getting a bit overwhelmed. I was overwhelmed because it wasn't as easy as I thought to find someone to put this together after deciding I needed extra assistance with the food and Kitty adapted to every detail. Once I spoke to Kitty, it was as though a ton of weight lifted and just speaking with her kept me confident that she was going to make this occasion as special as I intended it to be. Kitty is upbeat, very kind, on point, quick with responding, and she has a great personality while allowing me to make a change in the quantity and items. Kitty and her team put together the most beautiful spread of deliciousness while taking it all to Manhattan Beach. She barbecued burgers for us on the grill, served delicious appetizers of artichoke spinach dip. She made wonderful macaroni and cheese and the Caesar salad was delicious! We had a chocolate fountain with delicious treats. Kitty made two spectacular fruit trees, she served our water with infused mint and cucumber and all of it was absolutely phenomenal! Everything ran so smooth. Two servers catered to us with a serving tray as well. It was absolutely perfecto! As you know, the food and the atmosphere is a big part of the wedding. Super thankful that I chose such a kind, professional with a great personality that pulled this all together for me wonderfully! She also found me someone to get the tables and chairs and deliver them to me at a specific time while far away...And without a fee for delivery that would break the budget. I am a property manager in a 120 unit apartment complex in Huntington Beach and I host the get togethers at our barbecues. They are a big deal in our loving community. I am going to look into using Kitty for the events instead of doing it myself. I highly recommend Kitty's Catering....very highly. read more

I attended yet another beautiful event that was catered by Kitty and her assistants. This catering company just gets better and better every time. This summer party event we had sushi, by request, and tons of seasonal and fresh food. And also a bar, which I believe was new to this caterer. The staff worked hard to make sure everything looked attractive, definitely getting an A+ for presentation, and also tasted delicious. There was tons of food for our event. Thank you again Kitty and company for your hard work and dedication and commitment to delicious events! read more

I recently attended a Memorial Service at Heritage-Dilday in Huntington Beach, CA. After the Service, there was an on-site reception for attendees. This gathering was catered by Kitty's Catering. As I am a lifelong musician (I sang at the Service) and have been in lots of situations where food was "brought in", I have to say that the spread laid out by Kitty's Catering was one of the finest looking and, perhaps most important, tastiest buffets I've ever enjoyed. i've been in nice hotels for Sunday Brunches and this compares favorably in almost every important way. I actually tried to take a walking video of the entire line of food to show my Wife, only to find when I got home that I had goofed up and somehow toggled "off" instead of "on". Two seconds of video instead of two minutes. Rookie mistake! I sought out and met Kitty to commend her, took her business card, and will enthusiastically recommend her. A somewhat irrelevant footnote for a general review (although it was quite important to me) is that I'm on a medically-supervised ketogenic diet these days, trying to kick my decades-long diabetes down the road. Although there was lots of tasty and tempting things I passed up, there was _plenty_ for me to enjoy and every bit was really, really good. No "deprivation" whatsoever on the generous table she laid out. In today's unfortunate climate of "usually underwhelmed by goods and/or services", this was a wonderful exception I hope to benefit from again. Perhaps under different circumstances at a different location, but you get the point. Well done, Kitty McNerney ... I hope we meet again! read more

I was referred to Kitty's by a local mortuary. Attempting to plan my daughter's Celebration of Life, my friend reached out to Kitty. All she would tell me was, let's keep looking. Because of Kitty's reviews and the high recommendation from the mortuary I personally reached out to Kitty on a Saturday. At MIDNIGHT, my phone blows up and it's Kitty!! MIDNIGHT!!! Kitty is talking 100 mph I told her hang on, hang on, what's going on, it's MIDNIGHT! She starts asking what I want on the menu. Then proceeds to tell me she didn't realize what time it was. Hang on Kitty, you may not realize it's MIDNIGHT but you should realize it's well past 9 pm! Then kitty asked me again about the menu. Kitty sounded bizarre, couldn't string a sentence together and to be honest, I'm not so sure Kitty should be around sharp objects or hot food. I would bet good money Kitty has a "problem". In the morning I called my friend and she said she too picked up on a very bizarre Kitty. No focus, million miles an hour talking, side tracked and over all, frightening. Kitty, if you can't tell time when you make a call, you can't be trusted to show up to an event you are being paid for. I somehow belive forgetting to look at a clock is not the real problem. I hope and pray no family becomes a victim of "your problem". read more

I would give 10 stars,, Kitty was amazing from the first contact. I did a Celebration of Life for my mom this week and it was not an easy thing to do, but Kitty was so helpful and made it happen with little effort on my part as she was a professional. The food,,, Incredible. Set up, impeccable and cost efficient. We had the Pasta bar, and everyone commented on the food and how great it was.As well as the appearance and the kindness and proficiency of the staff. Kitty, I will never forget you for making a very difficult situation an easy one. Anyone looking for an amazing caterer, Look no further, she is the best and the nicest, caring and kindest person to work with. Thank you Kitty for all your help and I will see you soon! read more

Kitty is awesome! She helped us come up with a great appetizer menu, knowing how much to order to feed our crowd. We had a post-holiday party, her decorations were creative and absolutely beautiful. I would love to try some of her other menus for our next party. read more

Kitty's Catering - Thank you Kitty! For providing a FANTASTIC breakfast for our Mayor event...YOU ROCK!!! - Caterers Near Me

I'm so glad I chose Kitty's Catering to cater my graduation party! Kitty was extremely helpful from start to finish, she was always quick to respond, she gave me lots of options, she helped me choose an appropriate menu, and the price was very reasonable. We had ceviche as an appetizer, and for the main course - chicken Alfredo penne pasta, salad, and garlic bread. There was plenty of food and everyone really loved it. She also brought everything we needed - forks, plates, cups, napkins, etc, and stayed to help prepare the dinner. Kitty is such a genuinely kind and wonderful person, who cares about making sure everyone is happy. Will definitely use her again when I need a catering service. read more

I had the wonderful opportunity to have Kitty host a very last minute networking event for a non-profit organization. I contacted her 5 days before the event and she was prompt, detailed and organized. Even though the event was small, she still treated us as a large scale event, which I appreciated. Her pricing was reasonable and up front. The day of went off without a hitch and the food was fantastic. Thank you Kitty for your professional, yet personable service. I now have found a new go to person for all types of events I am involved in!! read more

Kitty's Catering - Cheese plate! - Caterers Near Me

Kitty's Catering provided our catering for our reception. Normally before I go to a wedding I try to find the closest In-N-Out so that after I eat the typical wedding food at the reception (rubber chicken) I know where to go. Not so with Kitty's Catering, it was great! We started off with stuffed mushrooms which our guests consumed at an alarming rate. We also had chipotle/jalapeno sliders which were so amazing. Did I mention the appetizers were passed at no additional cost? We also had a great assortment of veggies and fruits and, of course, the amazing artichoke dip and crostini. On to the meal, we wanted to have the salad on the table and let people serve themselves. I hate being hungry and sitting at the last table to go to the buffet. This way people could eat and the salad and wouldn't take up room on the dinner plate/mix in with other foods. Since our reception site was literally on the coast, we thought that a menu consisting of surf-and-turf would be appropriate. We had Tri Tip (beautiful piece of steak for the non west coasters) which was carved by one of Kitty's servers (no additional charge for the cutting station) and shrimp in a wine sauce. I am picky about shrimp and only took two just in case....what a mistake they were delicious. I am actually getting hungry writing this. We also had steamed veggies which were cooked perfectly and a rice dish. Everyone raved about the food, more people had seconds than I have ever seen, and hopefully no one needed to go to the nearest In-N-Out afterwards. We went for tastings at other catering services and were left with a bad taste in our mouths...literally. Not only was Kitty's food better it was also cheaper. She was also able to adapt her menu to our wishes and was receptive to our changes. The catering tables were decorated simply, beautifully and tastefully, exactly what we wanted. Kitty and her staff were professional and friendly, I can't wait to have an event so that we can use her again. Thank you so much Kitty, your food was fabulous. read more

Kitty's catering did a fantastic job at my wife's 40th birthday party. Kitty was very responsive to my wife's emails, made suggestions on what she should cater, and even gave her advice on where to order party supplies such as barware and furniture. Kitty worked with our budget and preferences, and exceeded our expectations. On the day of the event, Kitty and her team arrived right on time and immediately began setting up. Kitty even supplied table covers and napkins that matched our party theme, and arranged everything professionally. As for the food, it was amazing. The bruschetta, the bacon-wrapped dates, the stuffed mushrooms, the ahi tartare spoons...everything was delicious, looked beautiful, prepared and immediately passed on trays by her professional team. Kitty even brought an extra appetizer - the cheesy artichoke dip - as a birthday present for my wife. Nice extra touch! Throughout the party, Kitty made sure we had plenty to eat, and her bartender kept us informed of inventory. We didn't have to lift a finger - when the evening was drawing to a close, they packed up all of their stuff, cleaned everything, and you'd never even know they had been there. Now that's how a caterer is supposed to be. I'd use Kitty again for sure. She was fun, very professional, and did an excellent job catering our event. read more

Oh MY! Where do I begin??? Seriously, Kitty rocked my wedding, my guests, my world...and me...it was sooo good, the honeymoon "night" had a lot of competition! :) Kitty catered our wedding at the Casino of San Clemente last weekend. I knew I loved her immediately and felt comfortable, but she impressed everyone. It wasn't just food on a buffet table, it was heart, soul, and amazing food! People kept telling me all night how awesome the food was. People were going in for seconds. She is amazing! From our first phone conversation to meeting in person to the event, it was all smooth. She constantly assured me it was going to be great and she kept her word. It was great. Just today I was talking to a friend about the wedding and they were praising cocktail hour. For an incredible price we had cocktail hour with h'ordeurves, a chocolate fountain, and gorgeous fruit tree. It was stacked and really beautiful. My guests were so impressed with the details and I can't take credit for it, it was ALL Kitty. I really feel like she is part of the family. She worked so hard and took care of us. We missed the chocolate fountain so she made us plates of delicious chocolate covered treats to eat before dinner. She kept an eye on us to make sure it was all going great. If you are thinking about using Kitty for your event, you MUST! She can cook anything! She is professional, kind, generous, and such a fun person. Thank you Kitty! You truly are a doll and I am so blessed to have met you! :) read more

Kitty is an amazing lady all around! We've used her for about 4 years now at all our annual parties and she always goes above and beyond. The last party was a casino night theme and she made the cutest heart and spade shaped grilled cheese bites with lobster bisque shooters! Her food is always amazing and the presentation absolutely stunning. She really goes the extra mile to communicate with you from the menu to the decor to set up. She even brings cute girls to tray pass in coordinating themed outfits to match your party! Kitty delivers delicious food, exceptional service and at the same time is the most caring, thoughtful, sweet lady who knows how to satisfy the guests. She works with your budget, makes extra food and ensures your party will be unforgettable. Thank you so much Kitty, you're a blessing in an apron :) read more

I gave a Birthday party at the beach we had 64 guest and this was the best Birthday party I have given thanks to Kitty and her crew. The price was very resonable and they went out of there way to please they added more to my menu at no charge. The help was friendly and very accommodating. I'm not easy to please and I couldn't be any happier. If I could give it a 10 I would. I will be using them again read more

Kitty - you are such a great person and give off the best energy around!!! I looked up Kitty for catering for an office in service appointment. She worked within my budget and make plenty of food! She made Gluten free and vegetarian options that I requested as well. Everything was presented beautifully and she set up everything very quickly. Also - when I met her she gave me and my colleagues the best hugs. I LOVED that. You can tell she loves what she does and it shows. Thank you - HRC in Newport Beach loved the food - staff was happy. Everything tasted so good! Thank you! I know we will use Kitty's Catering again in the future - Aracely Lara, Jenny Hayden and Lucy He from Conceptual Options LLC , San Diego .. read more

Food is usually the highlight of the party, or at least of my parties. I would rather spend money on food and skimp on the décor than leave my guests hungry with a pretty centerpiece. Working with Kitty allowed me to serve delicious food, decorate beautifully and provide plenty of drinks. I just threw a cocktail event for 100 guests where she gave me a mash potatoes bar, shrimp & scallop ceviche, BBQ sliders, artichoke dip and vegetable platters. She worked with my budget, made what I requested (and more!) and brought along servers for a very professionally catered event. She has excellent email/phone correspondence and what I like most is that she's incredibly sweet. I would work with her again. read more

Kitty just catered my daughter's Quinceanera on 4/21/12. Although this was her first Quinceanera, she was very eager to learn and accommodate our needs. The food we served was an Italian dinner with lemon chicken with pasta and three different sauces(pesto, Alfredo, and marinara with homemade sausage. We had our choice of Cesar or green salad and two dressings. The appetizers were delicious. Chicken satay, bruschetta, veggies, and fruit skewers. The food was not only yummy to look at, but also to eat. Her staff was not only professional but also very at tentative. Kitty was very good about working within our budget and making sure everything ran beautifully the day of the event. I would not hesitate to recommend and hire Kitty again. Loved her! read more

Cake by the Ocean! OK it was smores but it was still perfect. Kitty and her team catered our beach BBQ and it went off without a hitch. We had great Santa Maria style tri tip with all the trimmings.

My husband and I booked Kitty and her crew for our wedding which was October 19th of this year. I had initially had a meeting with Kitty during the summer and she definitely sold me before we tasted her food by her passion for personalizing specific tastes of her clients and her presentation she sets up with her food. She showed us pictures of her past work/parties and really gave me a visual image of how it would look like on our most important day of our lives. Her staff was extremely organized, cooperative with the rest of our vendors and the display was very professional and elegant. I would recommend Kitty's company to anyone who is desiring quality communication, specialty requests for types of food, and a beautiful display of food. THANK YOU KITTY'S CATERING! read more

After emailing Kitty initially with my range she asked what types of foods that I wanted to have and I told her that I was open for suggestions given that I am doing my wedding on a budget. After back and forth emailing and her saying that she would give me a quote but wants me to understand that most likely the pricing would change due to taxes and such and I told her I completely understood. So I am waiting for a quote for about two weeks and still no response so I email her to remind her that I am waiting on a quote. She then responds five days after my reminder email, so almost three weeks after my previous email, that the reason she didn't respond to my email is she isn't able to work with my price range. I was very frustrated as I had given her my price range before she even asked my the types of foods that I wanted and now three weeks later she is telling me that she cant work with me given my budget. I even suggested her to a friend because of the reviews on here of how she and her food is fantastic and my friend ended up with her dropping off all communication for a couple weeks as well! Completely unprofessional! read more

Kitty's Catering is amazing! We held a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for our organization and she blew us away! She worked with our budget and the food was unforgettable!

I just had my wedding with over 200 guests catered by Kitty and man can I tell you how amazing she is!!! She worked with me on customizing all my favorite dishes including a sushi chef and everyone at the wedding can't stop talking about how good the food is! Her coconut rice is to die for. In addition, she was helping me with so many things beyond being a vendor that it was like having a wedding coordinator. Definitely above and beyond. Her staff was professional and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food! I will definitely use Kitty for EVERYTHING now! Love her and you will too!! I'm missing talk ing to you every day already Kitty! : ) read more

Just came from an event that had a few caterers and Kitty's food was far and away the best! The ceviche was to die for - a perfect blend of flavors! And the chicken and pasta were great! Great service too! Can't wait to find an excuse for a catered party so I can have her food again! read more

Kitty's Catering catered my daughter's wedding reception on July 8 at Cabrillo Marina Plaza in San Pedro. From our first contact, I felt comfortable and trusting of Kitty and her many talents. My daughter met Kitty at a bridal fair in Newport Beach, and knew immediately she wanted to have Kitty involved in our event. The set-up was perfect and beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious, the servers and clean-up were outstanding. Kitty's staff was on-time (in fact a little early) and were very accommodating as our schedule changed. Also, the price for her services was incredibly reasonable. She was also very helpful in offering suggestions, as we did not have a wedding coordinator and I (mother of the bride) had no idea where to even start. Kitty was quick to respond to e-mails and endless questions, yet was very patient when I had to make some unexpected trips out of town. We had hot artichoke dip on homemade bread, fruit kabobs, caprese salad on a skewer and hot filet mignon on skewers. These were all passed to our guests by Kitty's servers. For dinner we had chicken picata (absolutely wonderful!), carved tri-tip (delicious) and a pasta bar with 3 different sauces. We also had salad and rolls, and her servers help deliver the wedding cake that we brought. Kitty really took care of us, including saving some of the filet mignon skewers in the refrigerator for the bride and groom because she knew they really loved them. In a nutshell, the food was beautifully presented and delicious, the servers were friendly but professional, the setup and clean-up was flawless and the price was very reasonable. I will use Kitty's Catering again, as soon as I can think of a good excuse, and would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

I am so glad Kitty catered my party. She is easy to work with a great sense of humor. Many of my friends took her card, so I can't wait to enjoy her fabulous food again! She made my party a success. read more

Kitty catered my sister's baby shower and did a great job. The platters were really beautiful, especially the cheese platter, which was enormous.
