From the beginning when we started planning the reception dinner, Nor Cal was friendly and helpful. They gave us some great ideas to make the dinner special but also affordable. At the wedding, they were prompt, professional, and the the presentation was very tasteful. Now the foods: tons of compliments from our guests. Very tasty. So happy when they surprised us with leftovers. Price? Not the cheapest on town. Not the most expensive. A perfect value. Thanks read more

We were late to the Grad Party game with a very small group of 20 ppl., from vegans to full-on carnivores. Marsail treated us small-potatoes like we were big fish, very professional! Picked up the phone quickly (can you believe it?), with a very attentive demeanor. Responded quickly to our request for quote based on our menus selections. Arrived on site, personally, with one minute to spare, over-served us which all college kids appreciate, am I wrong? Can't recommend Nor Cal Catering enough. We'll be back! read more

Marsail provided a drop-off service for a party of ours with 50 people yesterday, and everyone raved about the food. We had the tri-tip and chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans w/bacon, and mango bean salad. He plans for generous portions, and everything arrived hot, fresh, and delicious. The food was so delicious, multiple people came up to me to get the name of whoever catered the party. Additionally, Marsail was prompt in his responses and so attentive to detail! He certainly became my family's go-to caterer for future events. read more

We had Marshall and his team cater out wedding in June 2021. I can't tell you how much we appreciated his help even after I made many changes to the guest list a week before the event. Marshall was early and organized, and his team was very professional. The food was great, hot and tasty. We had the smoked trip tip and chicken for the entrees, with green beans and garlic mashed potatoes, and a lovely pasta salad to round out the menu for 70+ guests. Everyone remarked on how good the dinner was! Lastly, the job didn't cost near as much as some other estimates had been, so its was truly a fantastic outcome, all the way around. Thanks again! read more

Marsail was awesome to work with! We postponed our October 2020 wedding to exactly a year later and Marsail was very easy to work with. Communication was always amazing! The food was delicious and the service at the wedding was phenomenal. I can't thank Nor Cal Catering enough for making such delicious food, being easy to work with and helping make my husband's and I's special day even more special with such great food! read more

We booked Marsail and his team at NorCal catering for our wedding in April 2018. I have nothing but good things to say! Food - AMAZING. We went with the smoked tritip, smoked chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, and ceasar salad for our 140 guests. We ad our first of a handful of tastings with Marsail and EVERY ONE we compared back to his food. We had plenty of guests compliment on how yummy everything was and ask for leftovers! Communication - Marsail responded by text, phone, email - and he was super kind and patient through allll of my questions as I planned the wedding. I never felt like I was annoying him and he would always say he wanted to do what we wanted for our day. He was punctual, his team was friendly, they came in, cleaned up and took care of everything for themselves. One nice woman even brought me a plate of mashed potatoes that I asked for since I was entertaining people and didn't get any! All around, I never had to worry about NorCal Catering. I felt 100% confident with them from booking to event. We will use them again! read more

See all

I cannot stress enough how much you should use Marsail as your caterer. He was the lowest maintenance of all our vendors. This is because he is so well organized and understands customer service. He had never performed an event at our venue and took time out of his own schedule to survey and plan his set up. This was all on his own initiative. If that wasn't enough, the most important reason you should hire Marsail is his food. It was delicious! I may be biased as it was my wedding, but I have literally been to over 50 weddings and it's the best food I have ever eaten at a wedding! To put it in better perspective, we had around 60 no shows and only enough left overs for about 30 people. So our guests liked it too! If you're reading this, I would call Marsail as soon as you can! read more

Marsail and team catered my wedding on 4/30/22. The service was amazing and the food was even better. If you're looking for quality food at a decent price, NorCal Catering is it! read more

My girlfriends and I recently had a reunion and NOBODY wanted to cook!! Who would? We called NorCal Catering and found out that they do a Drop Off Service which was perfect for us. We just needed good food for a casual affair. The food was wonderful, the service excellent and Marsail was easy to plan with. I highly recommend using NorCal.... and order the chocolate cake......IT'S AMAZING!!!! Susan read more

WOW just WOW. Marsail and his staff catered our daughter's wedding of over 200 guests. It was all amazing. The food was fabulous and the staff beyond great. The under 5 kids table was a great hit.

I used NorCal catering for my wedding reception. They are decently priced, responsive, and had good service. I booked 5 servers for 5 hours. Michael was easy to work with, he responded to my emails quickly, and was able to work with our venue and any special needs. My new husband and I were the last ones to arrive to the reception, but it smelled delicious the second we walked in, so I knew things must be going well. I think everyone (120 people) got their meals in a reasonable amount of time, they served drinks, and cleared tables. We made our own food, and had them heat it in the oven, toss the salad, and pour wine. We did not need a chef. All the servers were dressed in a black shirt and pants, and had a black apron on. Simple & professional. I'd recommend, and use them again if needed. read more

Marcel exceeded our expectations for our wedding reception dinner. let's start with the pulled pork and mashed potatoes( they were out of this world). chicken was juicy and flavorful, green beans with bacon and mac and cheese so good and the tri rip moist and flavorful. he showed up and showed out presentation was good, all beverages were good. Marcel even packed any leftovers in the fridge nicely for us. so if your looking for some Amazing BBQ....Norcal Carering is the one. Thank you Norcal Catering you helped make our wedding amazing. read more

Norcal catering is amazing! We had them for our wedding last may 6. Marsail is a very nice, very professional, very amazing cook. He personally cooks the food and they're all so good. Even my family was amazed how good the food is, they rarely had good food during weddings so they're surprised. None of the tri tip was left. Everyone loved the food. Thank you marsail. -jehsa and david read more

I am so thrilled to leave a five star review of these folks!! Having NorCal Catering at the my wedding was exactly what my guests needed to satisfy their bellies! Marsail, the fabulous owner, was attentive and knowledgeable, and served what could only be classified as a top shelf menu! The tri-tip melted in my mouth, the chicken breast was WHOLE, not all shredded up and greasy like some other places I've experienced. It's juices just gushed out in every single bite!! :) The steamed veggies were smothered in flavorful spices and cheeses, and the Italian potatoes were a dream!!! To top it off, the kids bar with hamburgers, chips and fruit snacks made a perfect addition! Our appetizer bar was a huge hit, and my guests RAVED about the apricot glazed meatballs! I would definitely recommend NorCal catering for any of your events! I will absolutely use them again!! :) read more

We used the Drop Off catering service for an important work meeting today for 20 people. Marcel delivered it right on time, the food was hot and looked and smelled delicious! He provided serving utensils, plates, even buckets of ice for the drinks, everything was taken care of. Everyone complimented the food and there was plenty to go around. I was also really impressed with how considerate he was with my coworkers food allergies. We will definitely be using NorCal Catering again! read more

I am planning a country style wedding. My Fiance and i have talked to many caterers and so far NorCal Catering has been AMAZING! I didn't really know what to do and was told to set up a tasting to see what their food was like. A couple caterers didn't offer tasting, three or so didn't get back to me, two of them were extremely rude and made me feel like an idiot, and then there was NorCal Catering... THEY WERE INCREDIBLE. I had so many question and gave him basically nothing to go by except we wanted bbq :) He was extremely professional, he gave me great advice, he was personable, he had everything ready for me, got back to me right away, and the food was FANTASTIC!!! If you are looking for great customer service and great food there is no other place!! read more

This morning, the day after the beautiful wedding we hosted for our daughter, and new son-in-law, I am struggling to find the words to express how grateful I am to have such a fabulous caterer cater our wedding reception. This caterer provides the utmost in professionalism from day one. I almost felt like I was speaking with a favorite uncle who happened to be a famous chef, whenever I spoke with the owner, because he was so friendly and receptive to my needs. The food was absolutely amazing! Our reception featured tri-tip, smoked chicken, potatoes, Italian steamed vegetables and garlic bread. We also had a separate children's buffet, which was fabulous and much appreciated by parents of children who did not care for fancy adult food! The hors d'oeuvre bar put out to keep the guests nibbling while the bride and groom had pictures taken was a big hit! This caterer does a sweet meatball that will blow your socks off! As we went from table to table, at our 150 guest reception, we got positive comments at each table on how fabulous the food was as well as requests to find out who our caterer was. His crew all worked professionally and are extremely courteous. They are well groomed. I almost wish I could find something to say that was negative to balance out this review, but I cannot! He is A++++++++in my book and I am so happy we picked the best caterer in the Northstate for our daughter's wedding. Thank you, Marsail and Nor-cal catering for a PERFECT job!!!!! read more

We threw a surprise 60th birthday for my father, with NorCal Catering taking care of all the food and drinks. They exceeded all expectations with delicious food and fantastic service! They showed up ahead of time, made everything happen without a hitch, and cooked it all on site. Several guests asked for their contact information, and we look forward to using them again! read more

Not sure how their food is, but their service is deplorable! I left 23 messages on their voice mail (persistent!) and sent 3 emails over a 7 day period, trying to hire them to cater an event. I received ZERO replies - not even a courtesy call declining my inquiry. Very bad sign and terrible way to conduct a business. read more

I had the great opportunity to try NorCal Catering and, just wow. The food is impeccable. I had some of their amazing tri-tip (So extremely juicy and flavorful) and the chicken was absolutely to die for. seasoned perfectly and moist enough to almost fall off the bone. Everything about the food was impeccable and Marsail, the owner, made us all laugh. Really reasonable prices as well. I'd reccomend NorCal Catering to anyone looking to get quality catering locally. read more

NorCal Catering just catered my small wedding of about 45 people. Even though we were a small group, Marsail treated us with professionalism and was very friendly and accommodating. He even traveled 1.5 hours to do the wedding, and the travel fee he charged was extremely reasonable. All of the food was delicious, and there were plenty of leftovers that he left there for us. I would definitely use them again, and recommend them 100%. read more
