Not only is Massimo very passionate about great food but he's entertaining and knowledgable (I'm a dedicated cook and I still learned quite a bit). The meal after the lesson was fantastic - fresh, great flavors and really, really beautiful to behold. A success all-around!

I found Yasmine & The Seed when searching for a charcuterie / grazing table vendor in Los Angeles…read morefor our baby shower. From the get go, Yasmine was extremely responsive and professional. She responded right away to my inquiry and was enthusiastic about working together to bring our vision to life. I appreciated her prompt communication throughout the planning process. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful (& delicious - important!) spread. Our guests loved it and it truly added to the overall experience. While I initially thought I could DIY this on my own, I am so glad that I hired The Seed instead to take this off my plate. They took care of all set-up and clean up, and they are worth the investment and more. Your search ends here!

What truly meant the most was how compassionate and understanding they were in honoring that this was for our rainbow baby. They handled everything with such care and sensitivity, which made the day feel even more special. Not only was the setup visually gorgeous, but the food itself was incredible- fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Our guests couldn't stop talking about it! To top it all off, they took care of both setup and cleanup seamlessly, which allowed us to fully enjoy the celebration without any stress. Highly recommend Seed if you want something truly special, meaningful, and absolutely delicious!

From the very beginning, David was kind, professional, patient, responsive, and genuinely an amazing person to work with. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but he made the entire process easy and stress-free. His pricing was also extremely fair, especially for the exceptional quality of food and service he provides. We had a plated dinner, passed hors d'oeuvres, multiple cocktail hour stations, and a huge dessert station, and every single item was outstanding. The presentation was beautiful, with so much attention to detail, and everything tasted just as amazing as it looked. We received countless compliments throughout the night, and even a month later, our guests are still telling us it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had. If you're looking for someone who is talented, reliable, trustworthy, and truly cares about making your event special, we cannot recommend David highly enough. Thank you for helping make our wedding unforgettable!

The food tasting was such a lovely experience, and he thoughtfully applied every single note we shared. The ingredients were fresh, the service was top-notch, and his staff was both professional and friendly. Beyond catering, David truly cared for the entire flow of the venue--his experience in the wedding industry really shined, especially since many of my other vendors were beginners. During the reception, he was constantly walking around, checking in, and making sure every table was taken care of. That level of attention gave me so much peace of mind on such an important day. I would 100% recommend David to anyone planning a wedding or event, and I would absolutely love the opportunity for him to cater another event of ours in the future!

3 weeks before my event of a wedding shower my booked Caterer cancelled! I was completely panicked…read moreand set out on Instagram to find another who was available on a very busy spring Saturday. I was attracted to OUI OUI catering for their upbeat Instagram and photos of their yummy food. But also for their very complimentary reviews. I called Sami the owner who immediately took my call and began to work with me in the calmest, most patient way. Understandably nervous as the date was approaching I called and wrote Sami alot working & reworking the menu and discussing the decor and logistics of the event. Sami could not be more understanding and flexible and sweet and fun. He calmed me down with constant reassurance and worked with me to get the right food within my price range and tastes. When the day arrived Sami and his sweet brother arrived and immediately got to work setting up and greeting me and the other party hostesses with warm smiles and a fun upbeat vibe. I had ordered amazing gourmet pizzas, truffle and pepperoni and a few others as well as fresh light foods such as caesar salad, a stunning fruit platter, salmon blinis, mini spinach quiche, mozzarella & tomato skewers all which Sami makes fresh on site, nothing is prepared in advance. I asked for a French country vibe and it was achieved by Sami with natural woods and subtle colors. I didn't use them for desserts as the brides mother is a baker but next time I will as theirs look fantastic. I must say though, their truffle pizza is utterly heavenly and all the ingredients that they use are top notch, the best cheeses and meats as well. When Sami was wrapping up he even made extra pizzas for us to have for dinner, so nice. OUI OUI is an absolute 10 out of 10 and I completely recommend you use them and relax and enjoy your event, they handle everything!

If you're looking for a caterer who delivers on quality and actually cares about your event, Simon is the one to call.

It's also pretty funny how the website had to "rebrand" and remove all their owners, management, and coordinators because people would recognize them as just terrible people. I'm just leaving this review to let people know that this is not a reputable catering service I would recommend. I would recommend if you have the budget Marbled LA or better yet Bite Catering, Good Heart Catering, Catering Los Angeles, the list goes on and these are cheaper options than "Contemporary catering". If you enjoy cold sliders, poor management, a staff that doesn't respond back, and an arrogant owner that blames LA for being the problem and tucking tale back to the desert (as he puts it) this might be the place for you. There's a reason why this place didn't take off in L.A. and a large portion of their team was laid off.

From our very first call, Alexis was a dream to work with. She made the planning process so easy and personal. She took the time to walk through the menu options, worked within my budget (which I really appreciated), and gave thoughtful suggestions that helped keep things cost-effective without compromising on quality or experience. That kind of honesty and care is rare but Alexis truly made me feel supported the entire way. The service provided was impeccable. She brought along an incredible server, helped with setup, and made the whole evening feel polished, smooth, and special from start to finish. For food, every course was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I normally don't like seafood, but the Chilean sea bass she made? I devoured the entire filet. Not a single crumb left on my plate the entire night. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted and absolutely worth savoring. And the best part? We had plenty of leftovers, which is huge for us because we love enjoying good food the next day (and the day after that!). Chef Alexis is not only talented and professional but also kind, generous, and a joy to have in your home. She helped make my husband's 40th truly unforgettable, and I will 100% be recommending her to anyone looking for a private chef - whether it's a small, intimate dinner or a larger celebration. I'm just so grateful I found her! Thank you, Chef Alexis - we'll be talking about this night for a long time.
