Pacific Connection catered our wedding this past May and the food was DELICIOUS! We first found them because my friend used them at her wedding and it was the best wedding food we had ever had. So when it came time to plan our wedding, we remembered how good the food was and asked who she used. Every item on the menu was incredible and unique and all of our guests told us it was not only the best wedding food they had ever had but better than many restaurants too. Would choose them again and again! read more

When I was looking for a wedding caterer, a bunch of hard things happened in my life that meant that it was hard to do a ton of research. When I found Pac Conn and saw that they had only 5 star reviews, I thought, "well, they seem like they're probably good". Friends, they are the BEST. Weddings are expensive, and I was initially a little shocked at some of the quotes I was getting. Pac Conn's quote was lower than a lot of the other full-service caterers and working with Rob was a dream. You know how sometimes when things go well it's hard to see what could've gone wrong? That's how working with Rob was. He was always responsive, clear, and communicative. I have a sideline as a wedding coordinator so I've worked with lots of caterers, and I can safely say that Pac Conn is a five star team. They nailed the overall event execution and also the details. The food was delicious, the staff was professional, the set-up and presentation were top notch. And most importantly, I got to do what I was hoping to do - forget about the logistics and enjoy my wedding day! read more

Have you ever wanted amazing food, amazing service, at an amazing price? Look no further. I can't recommend Rob and Donna at Pacific Connections enough. I was the nosiest, most demanding bride, I sent probably over 50 emails to Rob--and EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS ANSWERED. Rob covered all my questions and was immensely responsive, flexible, and detail-oriented. He and Donna even helped us arrange another tasting when we were unsure of one of our initial menu picks, and curated a unique menu outside of their usual offerings. On the day of the wedding, Pacific Connections arranged the most beautiful spread of food (family style) and everyone was STUNNED at how amazing everything tasted. Roasted chicken. Mashed potatoes. Carrots. Strawberry salad. The works!!! The team brought the best vibes, no one was pushy, and at a certain point when all the shot glasses were out, hard liquor was happily served in wine glasses. I cannot express how fortunate we were to have a team like this working on our wedding day. I'm still dreaming about the beets we ate... read more

This is written as the mother of the bride at a wedding PC catered. One of our biggest concerns is allergies as both the bride and groom and myself have severe allergies. My daughter chose the caterer and immediately went over allergies with him. We then filled out the allergy form, and I met him in person at the walk through and discussed each of our allergies. He joked that I would get "a dry chicken breast"--he said that several times. It seemed like an odd choice, but I said fine, I'll take a plain chicken breast as long as it doesn't have onions and garlic. There were various other communications back and forth before the day. None were easy, or smooth, or even super polite (that's feedback from all of us-nothing felt positive or easy) but I decided that didn't matter as long as the food service went well. When it came time to have dinner, the server had no idea I had an allergy. I went and found Rob. He acted as if it was the first he heard of my allergy. "You can have the salad I think...well, let me check." (WHat?) and then eventually they told me to eat none of the dishes on the table. He also asked how sensitive was I? Again, all discussed prior to this. They brought me a plate of my own. It had meat (not served at the wedding. There was no red meat on our menu. So where did this come from?) and steamed veggies. I ate it, naively, and of course was later ill. The meat was clearly seasoned in some way, probably with garlic. He never checked back in on me, or had anyone else do so. I wasn't able to go to the after party, as the hives etc. had started by the end of the wedding. I went home and was ill. It put a huge damper on my day, and we put in so much money and time into this wedding. That's why I decided to review honestly. As you can see, I review a lot, and tend to give 5 stars. But this experience was really negative. (The wedding itself was beautiful, and I loved it, but I don't want someone else to go through this.) I can not recommend this caterer if you have guests with food sensitivities, or even want a really pleasant communication experience. I will say the staff that served beer /wine were very nice and I appreciated them, so we did not change the gratuity. Finally, I think our venue made things unreasonably hard for the caterer to set up in a timely manner, and that probably lent to the problem. Still, the fact that there was no plan for the mother of the bride, after repeated contact about the allergy, was truly ridiculous. read more

Pacific connection review From the beginning, Rob was amazing to work with. He is super responsive via email. Even if he is waiting for information to get you an answer, he will reply letting you know he got your email and will get back to you. We had an email chain of well over 100 emails and he was so thorough and helpful. I had to push my wedding out a year due to covid and he was super understanding and changed the date with no issues. I asked him so many questions about etiquette, counts for drinks, the floor plan, rentals and more. He always answered very clearly and thoroughly. He was very patient and never made me feel like I was bothering him. He was definitely the most organized out of all of my vendors. He even helped me with the timeline and gave great guidance. Rob also met me on-site for my first venue walk through and was great at giving suggestions for the floor plan. I love that he didn't try to upsell me a bunch of stuff. He even ordered all of our rentals through the rental company and didn't upcharge us at all. He said he just wants to make sure everything is correct and perfect so he doesn't mind taking care of the rentals. The food at the tasting and reception was out of this world good. They have an extensive menu and it was so hard to choose just a few options. We ended up doing a family style menu so my guests got to taste everything. All night guests kept coming up to me and telling me how good the food was. Some of the items they raved about were the tri tip Asado, mashed potatoes, chicken and waffles, ahi tuna cone, and the salad with the pickled onions. The staff were super professional and friendly too. Hire Rob and his team. You will not regret it! read more

These guys are true professionals. After meeting them for the tasting we had zero doubt about their capabilities. Rob and Chef Donna knocked our wedding meals out of the park! All of our guest complimented the food multiple times during and after the event. Rob knows weddings and his input and feedback were instrumental in the success of our wedding day. Beth ended up running the day of event and was so good. She really ran a tight ship. Meal service was impeccable. They went above and beyond what you would expect from a caterer. They really took care of us, made sure we looked great, and were well fed. They even packed us a couple of to go boxes. read more

We got married Nov. of 2022 and from when I first reached out to Rob in December of 2021 he was nothing but responsive, professional, informative and kind. Our vision for our wedding probably changed a few times (thanks COVID) and every time I reached out to Rob he was so patient and would answer my massive list of questions that I had. PC was one of the best decisions that we made for our big day. Rob and the whole team was outstanding. He presented ideas and scheduling that made our event that much better. He was so helpful at the walkthrough with our venue and made sure every detail was taken care of - things we wouldn't have even thought about, he made sure it was covered. All of our guests continue to rave about the food months later. We chose the tri tip asado, and sea bass, domino potatoes. Chicken and waffles for an appetizer was a clear winner - you will not regret it. Throughout the night the staff was friendly, and so sweet. They made sure we had our own appetizers and drinks during pictures and during dinner made sure we were never without food or drinks. From what I saw and heard, there was no shortage of food and everyone was extremely full and satisfied. 5 stars all around for food, quality, service, deliciousness! Rob and PC make me want to get married again! read more

My post wedding email to Rob says it all: I want to thank you for such a great event on Friday. The food and service was flawless. Everyone was talking about how good the food was, and the service was spot on. Every course from the welcome drink to the dessert was delicious. We particularly appreciated your help early in the process regarding the flow of the event and set up suggestions. Please let me know what sites are the best to post a review, because I want to publicly give you 10 out of 5 stars! read more

Rob and his team were amazing. They executed our daughter's 175 person wedding at a private venue perfectly. We literally had multiple guests come up to us and say it was the best wedding food they had ever had. The staff was professional and courteous, and the food was outstanding. They were involved in the set up and take down. The next day, you wouldn't have known there were 175 people on site. I highly recommend Pacific Connection! We will definitely use them again if an occasion arises. read more

We just got married this past weekend and cannot stop thinking about how one of the best choices we made for our wedding was working with Rob and his team! From beginning to end Rob was amazing! He not only catered our wedding, he went above and beyond to coordinate with myself and my family to help us host our wedding on my family's property. The day of the wedding Rob's team was so kind and helped make our event run so smoothly! The food was absolutely delicious and our guests kept complimenting how much they enjoyed it! Rob was truly a pleasure to work with and I would recommend again and again!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! read more

About a year before our August 2018 wedding, my husband reached out to several caterers in the Napa area. We had a kinda daunting task: a backyard wedding with ~80 people, organized from the other side of the country (we're in DC but were getting married in Napa). Pacific Connection gave us a good price and good vibes from the get go, so we decided to go with them. And what a great decision! I think the two things that really made working with Pacific Connection great were: Rob's responsiveness and confidence (he and his team do this a LOT, and their knowledge/advice/experience was always so reassuring and helpful) and the actual quality of the food! We got so many compliments from people about how tasty everything was. If you're doing a summer wedding, we would really recommend the summer ceviche salad - I am STILL thinking about that thing, yummm! Rob was always a great and helpful point of contact for us; he was incredibly responsive and professional, and kept better track of our ideas than we did (!). The whole team was also super flexible and helpful in working with our venue: a backyard space in a private house that was undergoing some renovation/construction literally hours before the event started (heh). When Rob and his team did an on-site visit about ~8 months prior to the event, he sketched out a great plan for how to organize the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. He also helped us with rentals (tables, dance floor, etc). We really depended on his plan as the core of our wedding planning. Rob kept the whole event moving smoothly and it was just great! Our day ended up being completely stress-free (!) and magical. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Rob and team!! read more

My now husband and I were married on June 23rd, 2018 and Pacific Connection Catering catered our wedding! I would honestly give a million stars if I could!! Rob is like my guardian angel. As a bride, you tend to stress and worry about the littlest things and He was there to encourage me and talked me off many ledges! On our actual wedding day, our pastor was running an hour behind and Rob just jumped right in and solved the problem because all of our guests had arrived and he had the awesome idea of switching cocktail hour with the ceremony and no one even knew there was an issue! So Rob alone gets the well deserved 5 stars but OH MY GOD... The FOOD!!!!! We did our tasting a few months prior to the wedding and were so blown away by how good the food was, we didn't even bother talking to anyone else. We both thought, wow if the food is even half as good as the tasting, then itll be ok because we've both attended hundreds of weddings and the food is usually eh... but surprisingly on wedding day... Everything was just as good as we remembered!! I have no idea how she does it!! All of our guests commented and told us afterwards that the food was delicious and some of the best they ever had at a wedding! If you are looking for a caterer... look no further because there is no one better than Pacific Connection!!!! And you can thank me later, but get the chicken and waffles!!!! YUM!!! read more

From start to finish my husband and I LOVED working with Pacific Connection. Rob was incredibly helpful, responsive and a genuinely nice guy! He completely understood that our main priority was to create a wedding unique to us - and he helped us execute that vision perfectly! From agreeing to heat up pizza rolls and quesadillas as after hours snacks to helping us set up the tables in the best way for photographs, Rob was both flexible and thoughtful. Rob remembered every detail (a couple of which we had forgotten ourselves) and he was so insightful and helpful. And I haven't even mentioned that the food was INCREDIBLE. People raved about it from the iced tea welcome drink all the way to the lemon cupcakes including the most delicious greek salad, cheese ravioli and trip tip. Our wedding would not have been the same without Pacific Connection. I would recommend them to absolutely everyone. Thank you so much!!! read more

Pacific Connection Catering - Caterers Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Working with Rob and his team was one of the highlights of our wedding planning process and we would highly, highly recommend them for any event. In our opinion, nothing beats working with smaller, local companies where it's clear they love what they do and really care about their clients. Other than spending time with friends and family, the most important aspects of our wedding to us were a) food, b) drink and c) well-thought out logistics, so having a good caterer was key. Five star food and five star service at pricing that's really reasonable, especially when compared to SF caterers. Our guests are still talking about how great the food was - especially the passed hors d'oeuvres and mini desserts. We had salmon, duck and vegetarian entrée options for dinner and our guests all but licked their plates clean. Rob was always reachable and quick to respond during the entire planning process. He took careful notes so every idea we kicked around was always correctly reflected in the revised proposal. He had great ideas and suggestions on everything - not just food but also layout of the site, timeline, etc. We did not have a wedding planner so we found his input invaluable. Some gems we never would have thought of on our own included how to set up the head table to ensure photographer and videographer could get good shots, how to handle staffing so our guests always had a full drink in their hand, thinking of our bridal party's drinking habits when deciding when to do toasts, etc. We really appreciated their focus on service and efficiency. PCC planned and set up everything in a way to ensure smooth execution and that our guests were never hungry or thirsty. PCC was also great about making sure us and our bridal party were still fed, even as we were running around for pictures during cocktail hour. I have both trust and control issues but Rob and PCC's experience and attention to detail gave me absolute confidence to relax and enjoy our wedding day and it couldn't have gone any better. read more

Rob and team made our wedding dreams come true. We got married in August, and my family and friends are still raving about the food and service. The presentation was beautiful! Food was just as good as it was at the tasting! I don't even know how they pulled it off given that our venue had no kitchen...nothing. We had all the confidence that everything would be great the day of, and they exceeded our expectations. We appreciate the attention to detail, even having servers standing by the shuttle area to offer guests welcome refreshments. Rob easily works with 20+ couples at a time (maybe even more!) yet he somehow managed to return all emails and phone calls within the hour. He is clearly experienced and gave us a wealth of advice. He managed all of our rentals, came up with the design of the floor plan, pieced together our timeline, gave us advice on how much alcohol we should plan to buy for our group size...You name it, he was there to support us with any questions or concerns we had. On top of that, he's just a nice guy and was a pleasure to work with. I will always remember his kind emails with words of encouragement leading up to our big day. Thank you so much, Rob. -Grace and Kevin And if you're wondering about the sliders and chicken and waffles as apps, the answer is YES. Go with that. read more

Pacific Connection knocked it out of the park! Of all the vendors we worked with for our wedding, I had the most faith in Rob. He is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced... from the room layout to the rental order he was full of great advice! The food prepared by Chef Donna was beautiful and delicious, we received tons of compliments and gratitude for the generous portions and awesome appetizers. The staff was professional, helpful and fun to be with on our big day. We highly recommend Pacific Connection Catering! Thank you!! read more

Rob, Donna and the rest of the Pacific Connections team were a joy to work with! Their experience in the industry shined through at every step of the process and it was especially beneficial for us that they came as a preferred vendor for our venue, Trentadue Winery. Rob always made himself available for the flurry of questions that we sent his way and made many useful recommendations along the way for things that we wouldn't have considered in the midst of planning chaos. We also really appreciated that Rob and Donna were so open to us customizing our menu as we wanted to go with half Korean and half "wine country" California/American food. They did a great job with the recipes that we provided and we got many sparkling reviews from guests at the wedding for both the taste/quality of the food and service. Likewise with the food, we also customized our bar menu to fit our mostly Korean guest list and the bar staff did a great job with our signature cocktails. We would highly recommend Pacific Connections for anyone looking for a caterer in wine country! read more

Rob and his team were incredible!! He has amazing communication and customer service. Rob lost a few staff members for our wedding due to the fires in Sonoma county. No one even noticed because of the great job he did making sure everything still ran smoothly! He was efficient and even made sure to call me from his private number so I knew he was okay and still catering my wedding. Thanks Rob for the delicious food and impeccable hospitality! read more

Are you engaged? Planning your wedding?? Nervous about which caterer to choose??? Yeah, that was my (now) wife and I until we met Rob, Donna, and the rest of their team. Going into our initial meeting/tasting we thought it would be a waste of time because we were already pretty set on another caterer. When we left the meeting there was an awkward silence in the car for a few minutes as we both knew that we had to break it off with the other caterer because we were just so blown away by everyone at Pacific Connection Catering. I will go into detail but if you're reading this and planning your wedding then we both know that your time is short, you're probably stressing, and I will give you some newlywed advice for those on their journey: Stop your search and book an appointment with Rob, you won't be sorry. The top reason I recommend Pacific Connection Catering is very simple. During and even after the wedding, people RAVED about how good the food and service was, my wife and I could not be happier with Rob & Co. This alone should be reason enough for you to go with them but if you want more details and somehow have the time, then read on... Initial Tasting - Incredible!!! The sample dishes that Donna made for us (especially the chicken and waffles on a stick appetizer, BE SURE YOU TRY THIS) were all absolutely terrific. During the tasting some of the staff was there cleaning up from the previous night's event and you could see how well they interacted with each other and Rob, it was like they were a family. Communication - Very prompt in replying to email answering all of our questions, very on top of things and gave great advice on how to set up our venue. Vendor walkthrough 30 days prior to wedding - Stellar, due to a scheduling conflict Rob really went out of his way to meet with us, our coordinator, and the vendor manager on his day off. He asked so many questions and covered so many things and made sure the other vendors were on board with the timing and execution of their plan. He's done this before and has great suggestions on how to run the ceremony and help manage time, things that we never thought or even heard of he was a great advocate for us. Rentals - I heard that some people planning their wedding order rentals themselves (e.g. premium table cloth, premium chairs, upgraded utensils, etc.), Pacific Connection made it very easy for us. They gave us the website for the rental companies they work with, asked us for the specific items we wanted, then rented it themselves so they coordinate the delivery and return, just another thing they did that was above and beyond that made our planning a little easier. Wedding Day - I showed up at the venue for our first look and saw Pacific Connection setting up shop ready to run the show and I couldn't be more excited to see them in action. The crew served our guests homemade ice tea and lemonade as they arrived off the shuttles, it was seriously high-end white glove treatment, it makes me wish I could have been a guest at my own wedding. Once the ceremony was over, my wife and I hid away while people went to the cocktail reception for beverages and passed appetizers, we could see them from a distance and everyone was having a really good time and loving the food. It doesn't get any better than that. During the reception the food was just as good as when we had our initial tasting, absolutely fantastic. The pasta, salad, chicken, steak, and desserts were all homeruns. People loved it and we were so happy for our guests that they were being taken care of by the staff. I would like to thank Rob, Donna, and everyone for their efforts to help make our wedding the amazing day that it was. They were such a delight to work with and I recommend them for catering your wedding (or event). read more

My wife and I used Pacific Connection for our wedding on 8/17/19. Rob, Donna and their team are wonderful. When my wife and I went for an initial tasting, after that first bite, we knew that we would be using Pacific connection for our wedding. The food is amazing, from the Hors d'oeuvres to the mains and sides! I still am thinking of the tuna cones and the wild mushroom pasta! Rob was so responsive throughout the whole planning process and has years of experience to share on ways to ensure your big day goes smoothly. He was able to help us in so many ways past any expectations we had for a catering team and we are so grateful. Donna works magic in the kitchen, so many of our guests stated it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. The catering staff was very friendly, attentive and professional. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience, thank you so much again! read more

"Angel, how did you find these people? This party is really well executed!" My friend, who is an expert party planner in LA, came running towards me while I was nursing my 5th glass of Champagne. "Oh, girl. Rob is THE MAN! I'm not sure how he does it but this party is happening because of his silent blessings." By this time, a server has replenished my Champagne glass. To say that the party that my husband and I threw was the best party we've ever been to may sound a bit conceited. But if you were at the Mann Family Farm in Bolinas on Saturday, you would see the Rob was walking around in his calming aura, keeping us on track, and doing his job as an event organizer like he was born with this talent. It's been a few days since the party, and I'm still getting calls/texts/in-person requests for the Mediterranean orzo salad that was served at dinner. My 13-year-old gourmand nephew just texted me about how he'd like to have more of the almond-crusted sea bass and the skirt steak from the party dinner. Boy, isn't puberty ravenous? Pacific Connection is the one-stop shop for everything you need to throw an awesome party. I've already told my husband that we'll hire them again for our gold/platinum/pearl/silver/whatever-you-call-it anniversary. read more

Pacific Connection catered a wedding for us this fall. People are still raving about the food. They handled the cocktail hour in one of the best ways that I have seen and made sure that the wedding party had drinks and appetizers since we were off to the side. They are clearly experienced and also gave us helpful hints about things like how to do the cake cutting ceremony, etc I would definitely recommend them. read more

Rob, his wife, and his team at Pacific Connection were exceptional from our first meeting through the evening of our wedding and beyond. PC was more than a caterer, but rather a trusted partner in an event planning process that is so new to most brides! Rob even suggested table numbers/names to go with our wedding theme (New Orleans). I threw Rob a curveball by not telling him he should expect not only me and my groom, but our three parents, at our initial tasting. We had a charming table setting in PC's kitchen for 2 but Rob happily and quickly adapted to my embarrassing mistake. He made us all feel welcome and like honored guests. The service was unmatchable and the professionalism was top notch. PC made sure that the wedding party and family were served hors d'oeuvres while taking photos and guided bride and groom through the cake cutting process. The food was delicious and we keep receiving compliments from our guests. People have gone out of their way after the wedding to send us text messages about how delicious the food was, some even saying it was the best they had. PC did New Orleans "lite" style food and it was creative and tasty. The price was extremely reasonable for the type of all encompassing service and quality of food Pacific Connection offered. Thank you Pacific Connection! read more

Rob and Donna of Pacific Connection catered our rehearsal dinner a few weeks ago. The food was amazing, the staff was excellent and everyone is still raving about how great all of it was!! The prawn risotto was out of this world good! I'd highly recommend them for your wedding or any other event. They are not only amazing to work with, but good people who make fabulous food!! read more

Hiring pacific connection and Rob was the best decision we made for our wedding. Rob was incredible to work with and really helped us stay within our budget and was an excellent communicator from start to finish. The food at our wedding was fantastic (seriously, people are still raving about it and saying how it was the best wedding food they've ever had) and the service was incredible. The owner of our venue even commented that they were the most helpful and professional caterer she has ever seen. I would recommend Rob and Pacific Connection 110% to anyone hosting a wedding or event! read more

What a DREAM it was having Rob and Donna at Pacific Connection produce our wedding! I say produce because they didn't just cater the event, they handled everything from planning the flow of the event, to the rentals, to the execution of food and service. From the moment I reached out to Rob, I knew PacConn was a first class company. Rob was the four Ps: prompt, professional, personable and a total pro. He did a site visit with us, creating the perfect day-of-schedule and flow to the event. Our food tasting was incredible and we thought that there was no way it could be that good for 115 people- it was! PacConn handled ALL of the rentals; dance floor, bathrooms, tables, chairs, glassware...which was amazing because I did not have to worry about anything setup wise. The wedding itself was incredible because PacConn's team was extraordinary. I received SO many compliments on the food- that it was fresh, delicious and beautifully arranged in the buffet. I heard from tons of guests that the bartenders and servers were amazing. Rob even arranged for the bar to be pulled up to the dance floor during the event, which kept the party on the dance floor the entire night. I cannot thank you enough, PacConn, for such an incredible experience! You made our wedding. Love Jennifer & Andy read more

We found Pacific Connection Catering (Rob and his wife Donna the chef) through our wedding event management and coordinator company Milestone Events Group. We had our wedding at Copain Wines and Milestone manages that particular venue for special events, like our wedding, for Copain. Milestone was the best choice we made. And this became even more apparent after we selected one of their suggested vendors, Pacific Connection, to fill our guest's stomachs on our wedding day! My wife initially communicated with Rob via email and then set-up a tasting for us onsite based around the choices we made from their expansive, creative, and mouth-watering menu. We were just blown-away and defiantly full after we left! Rob's warm positive demeanor showed through the moment we entered their offices / kitchen in Santa Rosa. The smells were already mesmerizing my nostrils. My wife is a vegetarian and I am not. We have very open palates and a few of our wedding guest do not. Based on this, we made certain choices from their menu options. Donna worked her magic in the kitchen right in front of us. Meanwhile, Rob walked through everything our day would entail and made so many suggestions and gave so much insight that we hadn't and probably wouldn't have even considered, I felt like we were not only getting an amazing caterer, but a wedding coordinator of sorts, and just as important, a new friend! He asked all the right questions, answered all of our questions, and most importantly, helped us walk through our wants, needs, and hopes for capturing our special day via the pots and pans in Donna's kitchen. It was the combination of all of this that made our final decision so easy. I couldn't stop talking about the choice of hanger steak and my wife loved her cauliflower steak vegetarian choice. Our pass-around Hors d'oeuvre were a spot on and a hit. And just when you didn't think it could get any better, our selections of their available dessert options blew us, and everyone there away. Maybe even blew off a few buttons because we just couldn't eat enough of the glorious yummy food all night. The servers and overall service was perfect. You would almost forget they were there at times, but you never left wanting and never had anything come out cold that wasn't supposed to be nor did anyone get served anything that was to be hot but turned out to be cold. When your guests young and old, some of whom can be tough to impress, keep coming up to tell you how delicious everything was and did it more than once, you made the right choice. In choosing the Pacific Connection team, we did just that. Rob was right on top of keeping the lines of communication open and effortless. His quick replies and thoughtful truthful responses were so appreciated every step of the way. Thank you Rob for making our memories into pure culinary art. Meet with Rob, and have his talented culinary artist / wife Donna and your taste buds and the taste buds of family, friends, loved-ones etc. will never be able to stop thanking you. Their flawless execution, consistency in taste, flavor, and service were beyond our expectations. They made us heroes of all stomachs in attendance at our wedding! read more

Rob & his team were wonderful to work with. First, the food, drinks, and bar were amazing - all of our guests complimented the food (which, let's be honest, doesn't always happen at big weddings), and the price was totally reasonable. In addition to provided great food and service, Rob was super helpful to us throughout the planning process. He sent us friendly reminders when it was time to take certain steps and flagged issues that we otherwise would have missed. He was honest and reasonable, never pushed us to buy things we didn't need or want, and was super flexible. My parents loved him. That says a lot. Many of our guests later told us that the event was really smooth and seamlessly executed, and that is in large part due to the Pacific Connection staff. I just can't say enough nice things about them. read more

Rob was hands-down the best vendor I hired for my wedding. He listened to what I wanted, offered excellent advice (some of it saved me money too), and was personally present at the reception to make sure everything went smoothly. All the guests raved about the food and he even worked with other vendors to make sure everything was what I wanted. In reality, he was more like a caterer + event coordinator/planner in one. He was also very patient with us when he could have easily been annoyed. I only give out 5 stars when I'm wowed and Rob was the reason my wedding reception went perfectly. THANK YOU!!! read more

Pacific Connections catering is AWESOME..from the very beginning of this process Rob was fantastic.....would highly recommend to anyone looking for a caterer! He has great ideas and his input was priceless! Rob you and your team ROCK! read more

I would absolutely recommend Pacific Connection if you're considering catering for an event or wedding. We recently used them to caterer for our wedding of 150 people in Healdsburg and were so happy with everything and especially working with Rob. He made everything so easy for us and really helped with planning to make sure the wedding flowed and was timed seamlessly. My one concern at weddings is the food and especially the meat and fish because they are generally overcooked but Rob assured me it would not be - all our food was PERFECTLY cooked and served at the right temperature. We have had so much POSITIVE feedback from guests on how delicious the food was, my parents were beyond happy as food was their #1 priority and as a big foodie myself, I can say everything was outstanding! Pacific Connection also has a varied menu so we're able to include some Japanese flare like vegetable tempura, tuna poke and crispy salmon but also find a balance for my husband's Midwest roots with steak and potatoes as well as incorporating wine country flavors. I can't say enough how happy we were with our overall experience from initial questions we had to the food tasting and the day of the wedding! Rob is a true professional and really understands the dynamics of pulling off a wedding and also made himself available to respond to any questions or changes we had. Food is a big part of any special occasion so make sure to choose wisely! read more

Pacific Connection catered a Welcome Dinner for 120 guests at the Medlock Ames winery in Healdsburg for us earlier this month. I can not recommend them more highly. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully served, the service was outstanding and the attention to detail was evident in all aspects of the event. Most of our interaction was with Rob and he is not only very practical, calm and has a great sense of humor -- but he has a wonderful sense of aesthetics and guided us through the whole planning process. All of our guests - young and old - had a marvelous time and continue to talk about the food - can't ask for more! read more

Pacific connection could not of impressed us more the day of our wedding! The food not only tasted amazing but the presentation was stunning. Every single plate was beautifully decorated and the food was cooked to perfection. On top of it all the service was right not. There was never an empty glass in hand or on the table. My family loves to cook and drink and we were looking for great wedding food, which is hard to find. But not only were we blown away but everyone at our wedding continues to rave about how fantastic the food and service was. You will not be disappointed if you choose them! read more

Rob and pacific connection catered our wedding last weekend and it was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious and our guests are still telling me they are craving the chicken and waffle appetizers and domino potatoes. We went with a buffet meal and there were tons of food options. Rob made himself available to me at all times and we had tons of emails back and forth. He got back in a very timely manner and answered all of my questions no matter how big or small. Rob was not only a wonderful caterer but also part wedding coordinator. He set up all the rentals and linens for us up until the last minute. When we visited the venue he had great insight into what would work best for us and our guests. For the cost in Sonoma County , pacific connection is definitely worth the money. Not only was the food delicious but the service was superb as well. Thank you Rob for all of your hard work! read more

Rob and his team were amazing. The food was spectacular and everything was well managed and ran smoothly. I could not be more pleased. All crisis' were averted even with late cancelations and me dropping the ball and forgetting one of my guests! (What a nightmare!!!) The linens were stunning and his crew was fantastic! From the welcome drinks to hours devours to dinner to the cake, everything was very well executed. Everyone raved about the food, which I thought was amazing for a 150 person plated dinner! I may be a little biassed, but, it was the best wedding ever!!! read more

Pacific Connection catered our 10th anniversary party in October of this year. I chose PC of course because of their amazing selection of food, but it really came down to their customer service. Rob was attentive, friendly, and completely accommodating. There was no pressure to add anything to our order and he worked within our budget. Everything was on time, staff was professional, and food was delicious. Even in the wake of the wildfires, he was reassuring that our event was still going to be catered- which really says something about his dedication to his work. Thank you SO much for making our event wonderful. My guests could NOT stop talking about how amazing the food was! read more

Rob Gronbach, and his staff at Pacific Connection, are the best caterers I've ever come across. They catered our wedding in Sonoma County in August 2012, and they did a perfect job. The food was delicious and elegantly prepared, and the service was wonderful. We planned our wedding long distance from Florida, and Rob was available for the entire 8 month planning process to answer questions and give us tips; not only about the catering, but about many other aspects of planning the wedding as well. He is an expert on weddings, with many years of experience. If you want a professional and friendly catering staff, with beautiful presentation and delicious food, I highly recommend Pacific Connection! read more

I cannot say enough about Rob and his team at Pacific Connection, which catered our wedding. To begin, the food was absolutely outstanding. We had so many guest saying how they never expect such a quality and flavor from a larger-sized event. Even more however was that the excellence didn't stop with the food; Rob is a master planning, extremely detail oriented and had the event running incredibly smoothly throughout the lead-up and event itself. Highly recommend! read more

Thank you, thank you, thank you Rob Gronbach!!!! My husband and I hired Pacific Connection for our March 2013 wedding at Stryker Sonoma Winery. Everything was absolutely done to perfection! Rob did an oustanding job coordinating the event and guiding us to make good choices. We had a relatively small wedding (66 people) and Rob played the part of caterer and wedding coordinator. We had Ahi Tuna, Potato Latkes and Pot-stickers as passed appetizers. For dinner we chose the Parmesan crusted seabass with red wine risotto and the Braised short ribs over creamy polenta. Everything was amazing! We found Rob to be very organized, easy to work with, and most importantly very supportive and during our event. Many thanks to Rob and his entire team. I would highly recommend Pacific Connection for any catering event in your future. read more
