Mark's Catering catered our wedding reception and brunch the following day…read more Maureen worked with us to get us what we want served. It was very difficult to get a hold of her during the initial process, but within 3 wks from the event, communication finally began a breeze. They even created a signature plated appetizer of Peruvian ceviche, which was a hit! The taste of the food overall was a solid 4 stars, but I was very disappointed with the servers and extremely dismayed with the cake cut. We had a choice of steak, chicken or fish for each guest. The servers were confused of what plate went to whom despite us providing them with these specifics in advance. Thus, I had to answer several questions during my wedding reception. Most disappointing was the cake. HALF of it didn't get served! They cut TINY portions for each guest, and much of our delicious cake was wasted, and nearly ALL the guests were wishing to have a second slice. In addition , clean up began much earlier than anticipated which instinctively lead guests to think it was time for them to leave. I was not happy with this at all. The brunch the following day, occurred in a timely matter, and the food was excellent.

The had catered events there in the past so they knew what they were walking into.....No electricity, no running water and an outdoor venue where they had to bring their "Kitchen" to the parking lot. But what none of us could imagine was that it would rain and rain hard during the event. This did not seem to deter them. The food was HOT, and delicious. They plated 175 salads and then 175 dinners. Their servers were gracious, quick and so sweet. The servers were dripping wet as they had to carry plated meals through the rain to our tables in the tent. They did not complain and were joyful and helpful. One of the servers caught the attention of one of our family members who was blind. This server walked her into the tent when it started raining and gave special attention to her throughout the evening. I will recommend this catering company to everyone who is looking to cater a diner, a party or a wedding. They nailed every aspect of our event through unusual circumstances and i could not be more grateful!!!!! I do not think five stars is a high enough rating for this amazing catering company.

If you need someone to flawlessly handle the catering for your event, then Hawaiian Luau OC is for you. I recently lost my wife of 40 years to cancer, and she was a Hawaiian dancer for many years. I thought do hold a luau style celebration of life to honor her endless Aloha Spirit and love of the Hawaiian culture. I did not know where to turn to begin to create a perfect evening to honor my wife, but I was blessed to discover Hawaiian Luau OC. From my first conversation with Steve, I instantly knew that I made the right choice. It was like talking to a friend from the first word, and I could tell he was fully invested in doing everything possible to make this evening memorable in every way. He even offered to prepare samples of his food and bring them to my home for my approval. Who does that anymore?!? On the day of my wife's celebration, Steve and his staff arrived right on time and set up a wonderful Hawaiian style buffet that was beautifully decorated. Every item of food they provided was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. I have been receiving compliments for two weeks from my guests saying the smoked pork was, "the best I've ever had" and the teriyaki chicken was so tender that it was like, "the filet mignon of chicken." Absolutely incredible food from the appetizers to the desserts. Now that the event has passed, I am actually kind of sad that I no longer get to work with Steve, because the experience was that enjoyable in every way. If you have an upcoming event, I hope you will consider Hawaiian Luau OC, because you will walk away with total satisfaction and a big smile on your face.

They worked together beautifully and efficiently. If anything was requested, they responded immediately.

We worked with Erik from the start after a terrible experience with another caterer who backed out of our wedding just a couple months before our date. Erik immediately jumped in when we contacted him and not only offered us discounts in a lot of different areas because he felt bad for what we'd been through with our previous caterer, he also offered to move the tasting location so it would be closer and more convenient for my husband and I to do a tasting right away given our time crunch and the location of our jobs. Erik was extremely responsive, accommodating, and flexible from start to finish. All of the pricing was extremely transparent and there wasn't constant upcharges or hidden fees like you see with some wedding vendors. The tasting itself was wonderful, which included surprise complimentary champagne in addition to complimentary add on tastings Erik picked just for us, and we immediately vibed with Erik, who was so sweet and genuine and not at all being an over-the-top salesman. You can tell he loves his job and cares about the food and company, but it still just felt like we were enjoying a delicious meal with an old friend. Even if the food sucked, we might have still chosen 24 Carrots just because of how much we all loved working with Erik! But alas, the food was also spectacular. All in all we did EIGHT food tastings to pick the right caterer for our wedding, because having excellent food and service was one of our top priorities for our wedding. We knew 24 Carrots was the right choice after how professional and organized they were and after we tasted their excellent food. On the day of the wedding, they had a massive crew of people to make sure everything was executed perfectly. From passed appetizers during cocktail hour, to piping hot duet plated dinner service, the food was excellent. We had so many guests rave about how delicious the food was, even still. This was no ordinary wedding food. It was a cold and rainy day on the wedding, and somehow, guests commented on how all the food still came out piping hot. The dish was a duet of salmon and braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and broccolini. The vegetarian option was a butternut squash and caramelized onion risotto. Both servings were huge, and our hungry guests were thrilled. The service and professionalism of the staff was unmatched. They were able to help do a "flip" between the ceremony and the reception, while also serving apps during cocktail hour. Everything was executed perfectly, the taste and flavor of all aspects of the dinner was phenomenal, and the staff was all so kind and gracious. My husband, me, and my parents are so happy we chose 24 Carrots and got to work with Erik. We have already recommended them to anyone who needs a caterer and we will absolutely be using them again for any future events we have, big or small. Our previous caterer backing out turned out to be a huge blessing in the end because we got to end up working with 24 Carrots who helped make our day even more perfect. 10/10 recommendation, service, and quality of food.

I can't speak to 24 Carrots' food or catering services because I have never used them. I can,…read morehowever, speak to my experience living next to their operation. They have been incredibly inconsiderate neighbors when it comes to noise and the surrounding residential community. Their landscaping and/or cleaning crews have repeatedly been working as early as 5:00 AM. That means residents nearby are being awakened by work being performed outside a commercial business hours before most people are even awake. This isn't an occasional 7:00 AM inconvenience. I'm talking about 5:00 in the morning. Los Angeles has restrictions on the use of loud landscaping and other powered equipment before 7:00 AM when it is being operated within 500 feet of residences. Regardless of who 24 Carrots contracts to perform this work, these crews are servicing their property, and I believe the company has a responsibility to make sure its vendors operate at reasonable and lawful hours. A company in the hospitality business should extend some of that hospitality to the people who actually live next door. Again, I cannot review their food or event services. But as a neighbor, my experience with the company's consideration for the surrounding community has been extremely poor.

And that's not easy to do. First--the food. It's exceptional. Thoughtful, beautifully presented, and consistently unforgettable. Every dish feels intentional, balanced, and elevated without ever being pretentious. You can taste the level of care, expertise, and creativity in every bite. But what truly sets him apart is everything beyond the plate. Chef Jonathan brings an energy into the home that completely transforms the experience. Guests don't just get a meal--they get a moment. He's warm, engaging, and intuitive, knowing exactly when to interact and when to let the evening breathe. My clients rave about him long after their stay ends, which says everything. He's also incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition and wellness, which adds a whole other layer of value. Whether guests are looking for indulgence, clean eating, or something tailored to specific needs, he delivers flawlessly. And from a business standpoint? Absolute professional. Reliable, detail-oriented, and someone I trust completely with my most important clients. That alone is priceless. In a world where "private chef" can mean a lot of different things, Chef Jonathan is the real deal--and then some. If you have the opportunity to book him, do it. It will be one of the best decisions you make for your experience. I cannot recommend Chef Jonathan highly enough.
