Berry Happy Couple Cocktail by La Creme // Photo: Love + Wolves Co // Venue: Holly Farm
Victoria C.

WOW, so impressed with La Creme Catering. Working with Tamie, Lauren, and Chef Hollie was amazing. To be honest, there were times where I felt uneasy...the fact that we didnt really have any estimates or ideas on costs until a couple months before (after we booked and signed contracts for all our other vendors) kept me a little on edge. I also wish everything was priced out and we could pick and choose what we wanted, according to price, and then base a menu off of that. Instead, how they work is you just have multiple conversations with Tamie and she sends you updated revisions of the menu. Im sure there's a reason for them doing it that way though. They are the pros.. When it came down to the big day, they DELIVERED x100000. People raved about the food. Not only was it delicious, it was BEAUTIFUL. Thats why I waited until now to write the review (we got married in June 2019 at Holly Farm)....I wanted to make sure I included our photographer's photos of the food (photos by Jake & Borise at Love+Wolves Co). In addition to the reception food, we hire La Creme for the full open bar, and the brunch the Sunday after. Hands down best idea. It's worth noting that I told her I LOVED pickles and pickle juice and the open bar had PICKLEBACKS. She made my dreams come true. Tamie also worked with us on budget the entire time, and we're SO GRATEFUL. There were options that saved us a penny or two, and we couldn't have been more happy with what we got. I am vegan and I was more than satisfied with the food. IT WAS BOMB. They accommodated all my gluten-free guests and my one guest with crazy allergies. When it all ended, we saw they plated all the food and put it in our honeymoon suite fridge. I was going to cry, that was too sweet. All your doubts that you have leading up to your wedding will be washed away when you see what they do. Even though I had some uneasiness, in hindsight, I think I stressed out a little too much on little stuff. In the end La Creme, and every other vendor we worked with at Holly Farm, was incredibly thoughtful and such a pleasure to get to know. Im so happy I met these wonderful people. They all have a special place in my heart!

Our wedding venue works exclusively with La Creme Monterey and it's not hard to see why. Their food and staff set the bar in each of their respective categories. La Creme catered, staffed and handled the rentals for our rehearsal dinner and wedding. After an initial meeting with Tamie, Kristen assisted us with the remainder of the planning. Pro Tip: do not be afraid to give them a ring for specific questions. Both Tamie and Kristen are always kind and accommodating. We were so grateful that part of La Creme's services included handling the rentals for both events as it lifted a major element of the day off of our shoulders. I was very impressed with how La Creme and their staff were able to make our rehearsal dinner and wedding two individually spectacular events. For the rehearsal dinner we left the tablescape decor in their capable hands and we were so glad we did. Our wedding day dinner setting had many preplanned elements from the floral artistry to my last minute crafts, but La Creme still brought their special touches and took it to the next level. For those of you who could give a hoot about Pinterest projects and decorations, your section is here. Let's talk food. La Creme's menu options are vast and each description is more mouthwatering than the next. Their menu absolutely translates to real life. Something we keep hearing from our guests is how amazing the food at our wedding was. Anyone who's been to a wedding knows that this is a huge compliment and relief. An added bonus, La Creme makes conscious ingredient choices. Every menu option is created from organic, non-GMO and locally sourced ingredients. Even so, their pricing is incredibly competitive which is pretty amazing for that level of quality. La Creme's staff sets the bar for service. Their staff members make a point to care about your guests and your day. It's obvious that they are there to do a great job and leave a lasting positive impression.

I came for a quick business meeting and this cute little place absolutely blew me away! The atmosphere was relaxed and homely! Loved the individual tea pots and the scones were so good I had to go back and make sure I tried one of each! Highly recommended!!

As a follow up to Michelle L's post below ... Tamie - THANK YOU for an incredible wedding weekend at The Holly Farm. From the delicious rehearsal dinner menu and table settings through the wedding reception, the entire staff was fabulous and on-point! Posting a few photos :)

Tamie is amazing and I just want to hang out with her in real life. She does that thing, where she gives you amazing tasting food at a wedding which is next to impossible. La Creme catered our Holly Farm wedding and our Hangover Brunch the next day and everything was beautiful and so tasty. Our guests raved about all the food, from the fresh heirloom tomato salad, to the late night nacho bar. She knocked our signature drink out the park. I've had to divulge the recipe to numerous guests. And she takes care of you which is what every bride wants on her wedding. The simple gesture of making up a plate of food and putting it in our mini fridge at the end of the night to make sure we would get to taste everything at our wedding, something a lot of couples miss out on in the chaos of the day. Truly grateful to Tamie and La Creme for making our day the best we could have imagined.

We had the honor of having our wedding at The Holly Farm catered by Tamie and her amazing team at La Creme. I can't say enough about how delicious and beautiful every single dish is! Our guests are still raving about how it was by far the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Tamie goes above and beyond to make sure that the bride and groom are satisfied with every single detail of the day. She has a great personality and knows how to calm a bride's nerves! She does not hesitate to go the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day of your wedding. They even made a signature cocktail with my vague ideas (berries, basil, rum??) that was SO delicious. If you have the opportunity to have your wedding or special event catered by La Creme, sit back, relax, take a deep breath, and realize that it is all going to be FABULOUS.

Cocktail Hour Antipasto Station

Chef Tammie and her incredible team made our wedding weekend at The Holly Farm one to remember. We had La Creme cater both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding night. The rehearsal was a small group and we had wood fired pizzas (and sides). I had no idea these pizzas were going to be some of the best pizzas we'd ever had! Our wedding night was even more extraordinary than I could have ever imagined. We have had a large portion of our guests say that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had - and I agree. I think I'm one of the few brides that actually sat down and ate her entire plate because I wasn't letting that deliciousness go to waste!! From the cocktail hour to the desserts, Tammie and her team made our dreams come true. The wedding food was very important to us and we were a bit worried because the La Creme is an exclusive caterer at our venue. All of our hesitations were washed away the minute we met both Tammie and Kristen - there was no doubt they were going to rock our wedding food but BOY DID THEY ROCK IT! We had wayyyy more guests than we had originally planned for so of course budgeting came into play toward the end. Tammie personally worked with us for days to figure out how we were going to make it work... and we did. She was extremely helpful and accommodating and I'll never forget how much effort she put into helping us. Although we took out some of our original menu items, not one person could have known we cut down because even the simplest of menu items were absolutely phenomenal. Even their small touches with the buffet were so incredibly special. Okay, I could go on and on about how amazing they were but I think you get the point. Thank you La Creme for making our wedding weekend a delicious one!! Next time we're in Monterey we are coming back for you!

Tasting at La Creme for all meals of the day.  Too much food (could not stop eating due to yumminess).

See all

100% the best caterer experienced!…read more Not only was the food amazing, Paella, Salad, Asparagus, the service was over the top! Highly recommend if you're looking for a caterer that's passionate about food and service. Chef Bruce Finch knows how to make delicious food especially using different levels of flavors layering in herbs, spices etc. that he makes from scratch! His brownies are to die for! Really!! 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!

It was 4pm on a TUE & I was the sole customer. During my short wait, I was amused by the old Chinese decor. Back at my hotel I opened the neatly packed heavy duty containers (see pic). Wow! The food was as delicious as it looked. Every ingredient was tastable! I had to slow down to make my enjoyment last. Aquino's is no average Mexican restaurant. It's now in my top 5 - and I'm from Los Angeles! Can't wait to go back.

The food was okay. We were going more for some casual quick eats, so I ordered an al pastor taco and guacamole and chips. Al pastor is my preferred choice of meat so when the staff member also recommended the al pastor, I was totally looking forward to it. However it was a good 3.5 in flavor, contains pineapple, but they were definitely marinated with canned pineapple pieces. The cook and char on the pork was okay, it was tasty, but I've definitely had my share of fantastic tacos having lived in San Diego and Los Angeles. I really expected more from the guacamole because typically it's not that hard to mess up. Unfortunately it was bland, straight avocado with no sign of any spices, chile, onion, etc. and portion size was smaller in comparison with the amount of chips given. I even tried to add their spicy green salsa and lime wedge from my taco to it and those items couldn't even help the flavor profile. Chips were warm, but also lacked flavor, like salt as well. Decor was interesting and eclectic because it seemed they took over a previous asian restaurant and have not quite finished renovating or they are just choosing to keep that decor up. Service was good since we ordered to go. If I'm ever in the area again, willing to try other items and give this place another shot like the birria or something.
