Exceptional wedding dessert table!! Wow! We were so happy with Carla and her team's work! They just did our wedding this past Saturday and the desserts were a hit!! We got the chocolate covered pretzels, shortbread jelly cookies, red velvet and chocolate cake pops, chocolate covered strawberries, and cake! We hired Carla almost a year ago and she has been so responsive and so sweet! You can tell she loves what she does! Their team includes the drop off, Set up/design, and pickup, and all the decor in addition to picking 5 dessert items in the package with flexible options to upgrade or add more. We are so thankful for all their work! read more

Carla was so great to work with! SD Candy Buffets hosted a beautiful spread for my team for part of our corporate holiday gathering. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and her service was on point! The spread she put together for our event was BEAUTIFUL, and was PERFECTLY fitted for our requested theme. SD Candy Buffets took the time to tailor our menu to what our vision was, and the outcome did not disappoint! My team loved the addition of her snack bar offerings to get us through the day. The hot popcorn was a fan favorite, and my team cannot stop raving about her service as a whole. We look forward to having Carla and her team join us for more events in 2023! read more

I absolutely LOVED my dessert table at the wedding. Everyone was commenting on how delicious the desserts were. Karla was so sweet at helping me pick what desserts I wanted and even included some Mexican candy and conchitas for my dessert table which were a HIT!!! Aside from the yummy desserts, their decorations are so beautiful!! They blew me away with the detail they put on to make everything look good. I can't thank Karla and her team enough! Thank you! read more

This is the second time we sought SDCB because they have amazing displays and Miss Carla will work with you and provide ideas for your specific display. Recommended 100%. read more

We ordered desserts for our wedding. The desserts were ok (or so I heard from people because I didn't have a chance try anything) and the price point was decent. They even decorated so nicely that my guests thought the desserts were part of the decoration and they weren't sure if they were to allowed to eat them. That being said my review is 3 stars because of two things. First, their communication isn't great and second (remember this is my wedding so I'm busy and we have a coordinator handling things) toward the end of the evening everything was torn down and taken away. We weren't given any leftovers (which there were a lot of). We were supposed to provide the containers for leftovers but I don't recall anyone asking for said containers so the goodies could be packed away. Which is slightly infuriating because it would've been nice to snack on those later in the evening or even the next day. We also had some of our own props incorporated into the decorations and they accidentally took them. But we also haven't asked for them back so I guess that isn't a huge deal. read more

This display was amazing. We had so much candy and popcorn and everyone enjoyed it all night long. The display was beautiful and exactly the vibe of our wedding. read more

Carla is amazing! My guests can't stop talking about our dessert and candy buffet station at our wedding! She glammed it up with lights, revolving crystal plates, flowers, and pearls! The table had gold sequin linen. It was almost too gorgeous to eat. I got a great deal with 5 desserts (smores, marshmallow pops, rice krispies, chocolate dipped strawberries, donuts) and 7 candies (Carla hand picked the best candies). She even coated the chocolate dipped strawberries in pink sprinkles and icing to match our rose gold color theme. She went the extra mile in terms of detail! I kept calling her before to make sure the dessert table would turn out ok (a mock-up is $100), and Carla was so sweet and patient and assured me in the best way that she had my vision in mind. Man, Carla did deliver!! It was beyond my expectations. People loved the candy she picked out too (I was so busy coordinating other parts of my wedding that I did not have time to pick out the candy I wanted from her extensive 500+ candy list in time). She's wonderful. If I were to have any other future events, I would choose San Diego Candy Buffets again. read more

What a wonderful experience! This company provided the best service, and anything you wanted on your candy and dessert selection plus they gave you exactly what you requested. We had a pleasure using this company for a baby shower, my son's 21st birthday and my daughters college graduation party. They can do just about anything on design... I requested and had a chocolate fountain, Beautiful cupcakes and tons of candy. Everything turned out so amazing and we have beautiful memorable pictures to look back on. So happy with San Diego Candy Buffet. And Carla is amazing ! and so is her staff! read more

When I decided (very last minute) that I wanted a candy buffet at my wedding, I reached out to Carla and she did an incredible job. She designed a beautiful table and provided a delicious assortment of candy! I have a large number of family members (including some young kids!) with severe nut allergies, I let Carla know that I thought it was best if we do not serve candy that contains nuts. She took my request very seriously and did just as I requested! The table was better than I could have imagined and everyone loved it!! I highly recommend using them!! read more

I hired San Diego Candy Buffets to do my wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. The owner Carla was the best vendor I worked with, she was so patient with me when I couldn't make up my mind about what I wanted. Carla was truly helpful to me and my husband and she created such a beautiful and grand candy buffet that made my wedding even that much more special. Her display was so beautiful that my friends and family still talk about it! I loved the variety of candy that I was able to choose from the only problem was that i couldn't decide what I wanted. she did an outstanding job I hope to use her company again soon. read more

San Diego Candy Buffet is extraordinary!!! I used SDCB for a baby shower and everything was amazing. The parents to be and guest were in awe of the beautiful dessert table. It was such a pleasure to work with Carol and her team. They executed each and every detail requested for the table. The went above and beyond to make sure everything perfectly. I ordered the chocolate covered Oreos, pretzels, strawberries, cake pops, and drizzled popcorn. Can I just say every treat was magically delicious. The guest not only raved about the presentation, but the taste of everything. Carol I would like to thank you for everything; the emails, tags, stuffed containers, and the sweet attention you gave the dessert table. I will definitely be back for more services! read more

If you want a beautiful dessert or candy table or just a beautiful sweets table look no further!!! Carla is seriously the best of the best. The prices are affordable and everything is DELICIOUS! Carla exceeded my expectations on my wedding day every single one of my guest was in aweeeee. We added full size donuts to our current dessert package and I kid you not everyone said they were the best donuts! I had found Carla at the San Diego Bridal Bizarre about 2 years ago and I told myself when I get married I'm using Carla and I surely did!!!! She knew my theme was bees, succulents pops of blush and hexagons, she even created a hexagon donut display for me. If you think to yourself you can do this yourself...you're wrong hahahah! Carla provides all the decor, the table cloth etc for this I was getting ready and didn't even know when they came I just remember walking down the isle and seeing the display out the corner of my eye and once my ceremony was over I was over there checking out the table. I'm such a picky person as well so the fact I had 0 and I mean 0 complaints about this dessert bar says alot.....go ahead and save yourself the stress and hire Carla!!!! (I plan to add more photos once I get my wedding ones) I just couldn't wait to write Carla a reviews read more

We hosted a "No More Chemo Party" for our granddaughter this past weekend. She wanted a mermaid/pirate theme. Carla at San Diego Candy Buffets came through big time! She provided sweets and props that created such an amazing party atmosphere that guests could not stop talking about it! Carla's friendly service and attention to detail made our day. The mini cupcakes, cookies, gummy treats and cake were a hit. And yes- there was fruit too. The adults became little kids again! I highly recommend San Diego Candy Buffets for your next event. Carla is the best! Kathryn San Marcos read more

This review is long over do. SDCB put together a gorgeous nautical themed candy buffet for our wedding. Our guests couldn't stop talking about it and we absolutely loved it! Planning a wedding from a different state is a little tough but SDCB made it so easy for us. They answered all of my questions right away, got an idea of what we were looking for and put together a wonderful display. Our celebration was everything we hoped for and this was the cherry on top. read more

Used them for a candy buffet at my wedding in Temecula. The setup was so nice that most people were awed and had to take pictures. All the candy was devoured before the wedding was over. They have hundreds of candies and sweets of all colors available to choose from. They will setup a few hours before the event, man the candy station during, and will do all the cleaning afterwards. Very convenient if you don't feel like doing all this on your own. Of course you must pay a premium price, but it's totally worth it! read more

Carla did my wedding this past weekend on July 4th! My friend reached out to her last minute to look for a cotton candy machine set up. Well Carla exceeded my expectations and was available to execute on my wedding day. She is so easy to work with and my guests loved the cotton candy set up with the decor for my wedding to match my colors of mint green and powder blue. There are other reviews with 1 stars but if you read them it is a fluke as it posts three times. She was on time and my guests loved the candy bar/cotton candy set up. read more

San Diego Candy Buffet is the bomb! They have a great endless variety of chocolates, chocolate fountains, candies, on-site cotton candy machine and ECT.

San Diego Candy Buffets - Gonzalez wedding 9/25/15 - Party & Event Planning Near Me - San Marcos, California

110% RECOMMEND!! I knew from the moment I spoke with Carla that she was going to pull of an AMAZING Dessert Bar *S'mores, Cake Pops, and Cupcakes* for our Wedding! She quickly and consistently responded to every single question I had (and anyone who has planned a wedding knows that can be quite a lot), made the process of planning the desserts easy, and delivered more than I could have ever hoped for. I can't even begin to count how many compliments we received from our guests. The Dessert Bar turned out better than all of my wildest beach wedding dreams and we have Carla to thank for all of that! Also- the Dessert Bar Attendant was punctual, sweet, and professional. I am forever grateful for San Diego Candy Buffets-- thanks for making our special day one for the record books! :) read more

Not Impressed at all. Hired them to provide a Candy Buffet for my daughters graduation party. Carla told my wife everything we wanted - could and would be provided. Was even shown photos of previous buffets that ours would be comparable to. It was going to be great - a custom candy buffet all in Black, White and Silver. Then the day of the party, the only thing that was Black, White and Silver were the Table cloths. They candy was nothing more than off the shelf from rite-aid. Boxes of nerds, mike and Ikes, double bubble - bubble gum, pixie sticks. When I finally reached Carla by phone - here solution was they could pack up and leave or we could take up a refund with "corporate" on Monday. This was the of course 30 min after the party had started. Of course we did not pay the entire amount. Called corporate on Monday. No discount was offered. San Diego Candy Buffets took my wife to Small Claims Court over the matter. The Judge found in our favor. Small Claims Case number is 37-2012-00012912-SC-SC-NC if anyone would like to take a look. In my opinion - It was a classic "Bait and Switch" attempt that did not work. The candy buffet is what my daughter wanted most of all at her party - and it was a huge disappointment that I can not fix for her.......... read more

Carla did a great candy buffet at our wedding. She had so many different options that fit well with our theme. They also paid great attention to detail. Our guests were very happy and so were we. Highly recommend it! read more

We contracted for 150 guests even though we had only 130 in attendance. Candy ran out early. Cotton candy machine contracted for never functioned. Attendant was not present for an hour of the contracted time. Feedback provided to SDCB was not received graciously. We had complete satisfaction with six other vendors for our daughters event. Only SDCB disappointed. Will not use them again. read more

Great communication

Hired San DIego Candy Buffets for a movie themed "Oscars Award" party that we had, and boy I'll tell you it was incredible, I mean outstanding. We wanted gold and black colors, and they went above and beyond with everything we wanted. Carla went over some of the options to choose from and we were very pleased with everything. Two huge "Oscar" standees with a "Red carpet" for our guests to walk through was an added touch. Going to hire her for a "Star Wars" themed party for sure. read more

I want to thank your entire team at San Diego Candy Buffets for the wonderful job you did on the candy buffet for my son's wedding on 6/27/2015. It was beautiful. As the mother of the groom, I wasn't tasked with very much in regards for decoration for the wedding, but I was assigned the candy buffet. I toyed with the idea of doing it myself, but I really didn't want to have worry about setup, clean up and the refilling during the reception. I just wanted it to be beautiful, and have someone I could trust to look after it. I am so pleased that I reached out to San Diego Candy Buffet! I worked with Carla to let her know what I was looking for in terms of décor and she bounced her ideas off me and it sounded perfect. Exactly what I was hoping to have. The day of the wedding I was not disappointed. Capi and Carla incorporated the photos of the newleyweds I provided and created an elegant and romantic display. I could NEVER have pulled this off on my own. I had more duties than I thought with the shower, and the rehearsal dinner that this was a blessing to know that Carla and Capi understood the "idea" I had in my head and made it come true with very little input on my part. This took a great deal of stress off my shoulders and I am very happy to have had the San Diego Candy Buffet create this display. Best of all my son and his bride were thrilled and her mom loved it. My guests were so happy to have popcorn and candy available when they arrived at the reception as the bridal party arrived late. At the end of the night when everyone else was cleaning up, I just went to the candy table and Capi had boxed up everything for me (my photos, and extra candy). This whole experience could not have been easier or had better results. I will be recommending your services to my friends and family. read more

Carla worked at our Summer picnic event and was amazing to work with, everyone loved her decorations and table set up. She coordinated and worked with us very well, in regards to our needs and gift basket request which was amazing. We would definitely work with SDCB again! read more

Wow! What a great experience! Carla went above and beyond to make my day special! Loved the candy buffet and dessert table. Both were a hit and my guests enjoyed it! Thank you. read more

Carla of San Diego Candy Buffet was great. She sat with my daughter and together they decided every detail of the buffet, colors, candy choices, and what types of containers too. When they where done Carla started to talk about centerpieces and together they came up with elegant candy trees that were amazing. She set the stage for a great party. Set up was on time and everyone had candy all night and enough to take home! Couldn't have asked for more! Mindy G. read more

San Diego Candy buffets customer service is AMAZING! Due to other circumstances, I had to cancel my event and they were totally understandable. They also went above and beyond when I was talking to them about what I wanted for the event I was initially going to have. It's hard to find good customer service but they definitely know how to treat their customers. read more

Carla provided the candy buffet for my nieces wedding last weekend on October 10th. I provided her with very minimal information such as the color scheme, theme, and what the table centerpieces would look like. Since the wedding was in the evening, I do remember telling her that I wanted some type of lighting. Carla took this information and ran with it and brought my vision to light as though I provided her intricate details!!!!!!!!!!!!! That table was simply gorgeous!!!!!!!!!! She incorporated mirrors, chandeliers, and lights that provided such a sparkling success. Our guest were just as impressed as I was. Carla, thank you again for EVERYTHING that you did!!!! You and your team did an amazing job!!!! read more

Wow! Just wow! Our family is in love with what Carla created for our recent event! Carla is so easy to work with too! We met ahead of time to discuss our party theme. She got it right on! The candy booth became a Coney Island stop along our "Boardwalk" . The kids couldn't get to the booth fast enough! If you are looking for a creative way to display your treats, let Carla handle the job! read more

She's amazing!!!!! 100% satisfaction! She puts her heart into everything and it shows...

Used San Diego Candy Buffets for my daughters Bat Mitzvah at the Palomar Hotel San Diego. They were absolutely amazing! The buffet was beautiful thanks to Carla's design talent - the team arrived on time - and the bar was continuously stocked thru the night. I strongly recommend SD Candy Buffets for your candy buffet temptations!!! read more

I just had San Diego Candy Buffet do a candy bar, dessert bar and my linens for my wedding on 3/1/15! AMAZING!!! Carla is just the sweetest lady ever!! I chose them after seeing their set up at a huge Bridal show!! Carla is professional and so fun to work with! After working with her for months from my tastings, meetings to choose candy and go over my theme and ideas everything at the wedding was absolutely PERFECT!!!! Her and her staff set up the most amazing Candy Bar (as our favor) and Dessert Bar (in place of the boring cake)! I also ordered my linens from her! My napkin color was not a standard color and Carla went to all lengths to find my color!! The candy and dessert bar was BEAUTIFUL and received rave reviews from all our guest!!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to everyone for any occasion and will definitely hire them again in the future!!!!! Carla you are a doll and everything was beyond AWESOME!!!!
