Bee Kind's baked goodies are going to Bee coming home with me every time I am in Dunsmuir!…read more Different pastries and breads each day. I tried a raspberry turnover, cinnamon roll, raspberry rose scone, and Stromboli biscuit. Each item was SO GOOD! Biscuits and scones can sometimes be hit-or-miss with being overly dry and crumbly, but Bee Kind's were moist and fluffy. Already can't wait to plan another Shasta trip just to come back to Bee Kind.

As someone who loves supporting local businesses, I was excited to find one of the few local cafés…read morein this area during my road trip, so I had to stop by. I got there around 9am, so it was only mildly busy, but WOW the pastries immediately caught my attention. I originally just planned to sit for a bit and read my book, but after seeing the pastries, there was no way I was leaving without trying something. I ended up getting the Nutella turnover and a latte. The latte was good, but the Nutella turnover was honestly a 5/5, so delicious. They also have plenty of indoor seating along with a really pretty patio in the back with lots of tables, making it a great spot to enjoy some sun and fresh air.

We used C & C Catering for a 10 year anniversary party for about 60 people. From start to finish…read morethey were EXCELLENT to work with - very professional, were able to work with all of our requests and at a very reasonable cost. Most of the time I have at best an expectation of mediocre food at wedding type events - the food that C&C brought for our event was a Mexican based theme and very good. Everything tasted great and was well done. They did a great job of presentation, having people available to help keep everything running and ensuring the food service went without a problem. I highly recommend them for anybody looking for catering services in the greater Redding area (our event was actually up in Castella)

I would not recommend Josh Cleveland and C&C Catering to anyone…read more We had a great tasting a few months before our wedding, at which Josh told us all about his culinary training and his experience catering high-end, elevated events. Even though his pricing was almost double our other options, we wanted to give our guests a great experience. Food was our number one priority at our wedding. We paid extra for a plated dinner. When our wedding day came Josh was at least an hour late to arrive and didn't bring adequate staff to execute food for a cocktail hour + a 2 course plated dinner for 50 (3 different proteins, 4 different sides, a vegetarian meal, and some kids meals). He was the only person in the kitchen before dinner, and there was only one server bringing food from the kitchen to 50 guests. Josh didn't serve our agreed upon menu, and the food preparation was poorly executed (think bagged vegetables tossed into boiling water, with little to no seasoning). Food trickled out of the kitchen, with some guests waiting at least an hour for their dinner. What I've described is just a subset of everything that went wrong. The bartending service that we hired through Josh and C&C also fell short. Josh deposited our check on our wedding day. After our wedding I let Josh know that we were not happy with his dinner service and he's made no effort to address our complaints. The whole experience was a black mark on our wedding day. We did not get what we paid for. Find a different caterer for your wedding.

We had our wedding here July 4, 2009. It was honestly the best day of our lives. And every guest we…read moretalked to said it was the best/funnest wedding they had ever been to. First, the setting is breathtaking: gorgeous green pine tree forest surrounding the wedding ceremony site, mountains in the background, perfect weather (mid-80s all day, and no wind) and the beautiful wedding village, Pinegri-La. Pinegri-La has 5 cabins that can sleep from 6 to 12 people, depending on the cabin, as well as a camping area. We had 50 guests stay onsite in cabins and camp. The rest of our guests, stayed at the Dunsmuir Lodge and Railroad Park, which are about a half hour away. We came up Thursday night and spent the weekend with our friends and family. Everyone had a great time walking to nearby swimming holes and alpine lakes. At night, we would barbecue and roast S'mores and talk into the late hours over the campfire. We had our rehearsal dinner/bbq Friday night, and Beth and John pulled if off without a hitch. The food was great, and the setting was perfect. On the wedding day, guests went for hikes while my bridesmaids and I got ready in Pinegri-La's bridal dressing room (very cute room with comfy couches and mirrors). The ceremony was beautiful! I can't say enough about how beautiful this ceremony site is--the most beautiful wedding site I've ever seen -- and I'm not just saying that cause it was my wedding. For the dinner, the food was perfect -- very delicious and on time and fresh and hot! Beth and John (the owners) and their staff do a wonderful job. We had about 140 guests, and they handled it perfectly. They also had someone in the nearby town make the cake, and it was delicious and beautiful too. Then we danced until we wanted (no curfew!) All our guests -- old and young alike -- said it was the funnest wedding they had ever been to. The only downside to this location is that it is a half-hour drive up a winding mountain roud. But, it is paved all the way, and no one seemed to complain about it. All in all, it was the best day of our lives, and we were very sad when it was all over....

The venue that Shasta weddings provides is absolutely breathtaking! It is such a beautiful place in…read morethe middle of nowhere, great for people who want to escape into the magical woods with friends & family. However, there were *several* problems which made my experience less than ideal. I would like to frame this review as me helping anyone who might be considering Shasta weddings as a venue, not complaining. I am grateful for our experience but I would have done things completely different had I known the following information: First of all, the most major problem is that there is no service & no wifi. I had no idea about this, as we visited in June & had service at the time. Regardless, the day of the ceremony, we arrived & had no service. This was problematic because several people did not have directions so a lot of people were late or unable to come because they never got directions. Further, Shasta Weddings has a satellite & wifi, but Beth wouldn't share it because it would slow down her service. Several people asked & she ignored them. Then those people were bugging me, which annoyed me on my wedding day. Not only was this bad for directions, but it was bad for our musical selections. Any songs/music not downloaded were unable to be downloaded. So, if you're planning a wedding at Shasta Weddings, you need to definitely have everyone on the same page as far as directions, knowing that there is no service, & the DJ having all the music pre-selected & downloaded. Not too hard, but in my opinion, unfair... even though, admittedly, we were never promised wifi or service. Second of all, I did not realize that check in for EVERYONE was by 5pm. This makes absolutely no sense for a DESTINATION wedding in the middle of nowhere... No one lived close. Everyone had to travel. Why should they be expected to arrive no later than 5pm? With that in mind, the way that check in was done was bizarre. Beth had mentioned to my mother-in-law that she could be "in charge" of people checking in after 5. Several of my friends & family members either didn't end up coming, or left the venue to go get a hotel because it was snowing. Many also got there when my mother-in-law wasn't sitting at the table waiting. Regardless, the payment for those guests was taken out of our deposit. Thus, WE were still responsible for paying for the guests that couldn't stay due to weather, not being able to find the venue, or just didn't end up coming. etc. I had no idea about this, as my last update was sent to her 9/21 for my 9/28 wedding, & on the paper it is written "You are not committed to the placements but we can help if something seems amiss." which is interesting because apparently i had committed to those placements... since i had to pay. With this in mind, i would suggest hiring someone to take care of the names/collect the money, so that you will have some of your deposit left back! Beyond that, she was generous with the rest of the deposit, as we left in a hurry & didn't clean much beyond the basics. she even did not charge us for the "campers" who were supposed to camp but obviously could not since it was freezing. So i am grateful for that! As i said, I would hire someone for that & save yourself a few hundred bucks. Lastly, just so any brides-to-be are wondering about the nearest town, Redding, for beauty treatments... i had some of the worst experiences in my life in that town! It was sad :( I left them all Yelp reviews so feel free to check. For some good news, I choose Sequoua photography for my pictures, & she did an amazing job. She is listed on their vender sites. LASTLY- if you are a vegan or vegetarian, I recommend making your own food instead of eating the food Beth & co make. Apparently the meat sandwiches they made were AMAZING (as was the vegan chili- so so good! ) BUT the sandwiches were.... cucumber & hummus.... Every vegan came up to me CONFUSED & slightly offended lol. But all in all, it's a great venue especially if you are simultaneously on top of your shit & also not really caring how things might end up, & are willing to do the aforementioned suggestions. LASTLY- the curfew for all guests not staying on site is midnight... This is kind of annoying but understandable for the way the road is set up (essentially a paved, one-lane, spooky road) it might be done for safety purposes... however, later than midnight I doubt anyone is coming up that road, so going down should be even less of a hazard at that point. This disappointed a lot of our Airbnb guests who wanted to party all night with us.... but, since it was soooOooo cold, we didn't even end up partying all night, so it wasn't too bad! Beth & John were super nice. The venue is gorgeous. They were also very communicative & asked me if i needed things frequently. So no hard feelings, it was an amazing time. I just wanted to advise other people how to navigate this venue so that they can have a slightly better experience than I did.
