Chef Jorden is a dream to work with! Professional and organized she makes the planning process lovely, but the best part of working with her is definitely the freshness and quality of the food. I have had the pleasure of working with Savory Events on several occasions, and the vibe is always chill, with creative live stations and beautiful presentations. With great skill, talent and fun; Jorden delivers on a great party! read more

Jorden is amazing! Her food is delicious, and she is a clear and kind communicator. We were all set up to work with her for our wedding, but we had to reschedule, so it, unfortunately, did not work out. Losing Jorden was the worst part of the reschedule! She organized a fresh, seasonal tasting for us to help us settle on a menu about a year in advance. We wanted local foods, and she knew the area well. All of the food was delicious, and the tasting helped us settle on a cohesive menu that would work for us and our guests. She provided excellent service at a reasonable price, and she was flexible and understanding about rescheduling. read more

I can't recommend Jorden enough! I hired her for my daughters 1st birthday party. It was super casual. She made sliders, fries and Mac n cheese balls with tons of different tipping sauces. It was perfect for the 50s diner themed party! It was so nice not having to worry about food while trying to entertain guests and my daughter!! If you're needing catering for events small or large Jorden is your go to girl! Super friendly, sets up and cleans up quick and the food is amazing! Thanks so much Jorden! read more

Savory Events (Jorden) was great to work with, there was clear communication, fast response times, and she really worked with our budget. Her food was outstanding to say the least, our guests are still talking about it a year later if that tells you anything! To start off the evening we had cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres which consisted of an Artisan Spanish Cheese Display with Seasonal Berries & Crusty Baguette Slices and Heirloom Tomato & Fresno Chile Gazpacho Shots. For dinner we had a Spanish buffet which included Garlicky Shrimp with Avocado Oil, Spanish Chicken with Chorizo & Olives, Alcachofas al Ajillo, Fingerling Patatas Bravas, Toasted Marcona Almonds, and Smoky Lemon Aioli. The condiment bar was amazing and included Pickled Vegetables, Roasted Olives & Garlic, Salmorejo (Gazpacho Dip), Dates & Crumbled Bacon, and Blistered Padron Peppers & Sea Salt. Everything was excellent, not only was this the best wedding food we've ever had, it was also one of the best meals we've ever had, and we consider ourselves "foodies." Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and Jorden's food played an integral role in that, if I could do it all over again I wouldn't hesitate to hire her and her crew. read more

I cannot recommend Jorden and her team at Savory Events enough! From day one, she was one of the easiest to work with and most communicative vendors we teamed up with for our wedding. We could not be more happy with how our wedding day menu turned out. We wanted an approachable yet refined menu, and Savory's summer menu was perfect for the dinner party we wanted to throw in the forest in Big Sur. We opted for a family style meal which gave our party the intimacy we were looking for. Guests raved about the food and the presentation starting from the passed appetizers at cocktail hour along with the amazing cheese display, and then the multi-course meal we served during the reception. Not only is the food amazing, but Jorden's approachability, flexibility and attitude makes working with her such a great experience. I could not recommend Savory enough for your event! read more

Jorden and her team were amazing! Jorden catered our intimate wedding for 18 and not only was everything delicious, she was super easy to work with and was very accommodating throughout the whole process. We came from out of state, so there were several phone calls and emails. She always had a quick response time and answered all of our questions and put our minds at ease. Everything ran so smoothly! Again, everything was delicious! We started with an artisanal cheese and charcuterie display, as well as pan seared scallop coins over avocado toast for the cocktail hour. Moving to the seated dinner, she prepared the best artichokes I have ever eaten, followed by Autumn flavored spinach salad, and then a chive crusted halibut with a citrus buerre blanc sauce. Everything from presentation, to texture, to flavor was outstanding. read more

Jorden and her Team at Savory Events catered our daughter's wedding last weekend in Big Sur. The remote outdoor venue required her to bring in a kitchen and they cooked in the parking lot! It could not have been easy, yet she pulled it off effortlessly. Everyone raved about the food and service! I consider myself a foodie and this was beyond my expectations!! Every detail was perfect. I highly recommend Savory Events!!! read more

I truly can't say enough good things about Jorden and the whole team at Savory Events. Jorden was such a huge help to us throughout the planning process, from site visits to rentals and so much more. She is such a pro and knows so much about catering and running events smoothly. On top of that, the food and drinks were absolutely amazing -- we got so many compliments from guests, and we had to steal some extra appetizers for ourselves to enjoy in our free minutes! :) Thank you so much, Jorden! Savory Events is the best. read more

Savory Events catered our small wedding on the Big Sur Coast to perfection. Food was all delicious, of the highest quality and presented beautifully. I would highly recommend Savory Events! Jorden was so easy to work with, highly responsive and when our event schedule went off track, her and her crew were very flexible and accommodating. Pricing was all very fair and transparent. Special thanks to Jorden and her team for making our day so special! read more

Jorden and her crew were absolutely amazing for our wedding in Big Sur, CA! The presentation of the food was incredibly perfect AND every single plate was delicious. Everyone loved that it was served family style, passing plates around the table and getting just the right amount for yourself. All of our guests raved about the food, saying no other wedding they've been to has compared to her food!! We couldn't have been more pleased! Get the cheese board!! So lovely and tasty. Thank you, Savory Events! read more

Jorden and her amazing team catered our backyard "do it yourself" wedding in June 2016, for 165 people. From the time we booked with savory events to the wedding itself, we have the utmost gratitude and appreciation for this caterer! She was pleasant to work with, flexible to our changing needs as the big day approached, and her and her team delivered beautiful, delicious food with incredible service to accompany it! We have had so many compliments on how great the food was and could not be more thrilled that we booked our wedding using savory events! Definitely a pleasure! Thank you Jorden (and team) for all you did for us - you went above and beyond what was required to help our wedding reception go off without a hitch, and left our guests feeling full satisfied... And asking for your information in case they needed a caterer! We would totally recommend booking your next event with savory events! read more

Jorden catered our wedding on 4/23/2016 in Ben Lomond, CA. Jorden was a pleasure to work with. She is professional, personable, experienced, talented, and flexible. I found Jorden through Tumbtack, and after sifting through several grumpy/rigid people, we were lucky enough to come across Jorden and her company. We had an outdoor wedding for 150 people, and Jorden knew exactly what to do with keeping food hot and ready, and her staff did a fantastic job at keeping the event clean and orderly. The food was delicious! We opted for a Mexican style dinner with tequila lime shrimp, chicken verde, and a vegetarian option. The shrimp and chicken were very tasty and the texture was spot-on. However, most of the people on my wife's side are vegetarian, while my half are meat eaters. Jorden suggested a Soy-rizo, kale, eggplant which was magical. If we were to do our wedding over, we would certainly utilize Jorden and her staff. read more

My husband and I loved working with Jorden and her food was delicious! I found her through Thumbtack. She catered our ~200 person wedding at a summer camp in La Honda on 04/30/16. She was a pleasure to work with and put us at ease because we were confident she had everything under control. Jorden and her team took care of setup and breakdown in addition to preparing all the yummy, fresh food.. My family is Mexican so we chose to go with tacos for dinner. We got a chili encrusted fish, carnitas, carne asada, and soy chorizo for the tacos, a veggie and fruit setup for the cocktail hour, and coffee service for the evening. Everyone LOVED the food. I highly recommend you hire Jorden for your event! read more

We hired Savory Events to cater a small outdoor dinner party and were beyond impressed. From the very beginning Jordon was wonderful in communicating with me about the menu, pricing and logistics. She developed a wonderful fall menu that felt custom and special. Every ingredient was of the highest quality and cooked to perfection. Her team was efficient, professional and attentive. They were also just lovely people to have in my home. They followed every safety precaution and even cleaned my kitchen, washed my dishes and packed up leftovers. This is the team you want. read more

Could not have been happier, Jorden and her team were everything we could have wanted.

Very high quality, highly recommend for any event where excellent food is a priority read more

Jorden and Holly are amazing! They're an incredibly talented duo that can literally work magic in the kitchen. No matter what your event is, they will bring it to life. They purchase from local, small vendors so you know you're getting the freshest and best ingredients in your food. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

We had the pleasure of having Savory Events catered our wedding - all the food was so very beautiful, and delicious. We had asked for little flowers to be sprinkled here and there per our floral theme and they delivered beyond our expectations. They also offer a very beautiful floral ice cube option - super special and highly recommend! Jorden was great and really worked with us to get the perfect salad and menu items we wanted too. All the food is from local vendors, everything was season and scrumptious. Our guests raved about the food to us and many said it was the best food they'd had at a wedding :-) read more

Jorden and Hollie did an amazing job catering our wedding reception! Jorden was very responsive, worked with me when we had to reschedule due to the pandemic, and also helped us curate the menu. Chef Hollie and her team worked with us the day of the event was so helpful with everything, even helping suggest when we should do our champagne toast! The food was absolutely stunning and delicious. I had multiple guests rave about the quality and taste of the food and even ask for recipes! I highly recommend Savory Events for catering! read more

Would rate Savory Events with 20 STARS if possible. Jorden and her team put together an amazing catered dinner that looked beautiful and tasted better. Hands down by far the best caterer in the area. Would unhesitatingly recommend Savory Events for any and all occasions, from small gatherings to very large functions. Can't stress how easy Jorden and her team were to work with, how effortless planning and executing the dinner was, how diligently they cleaned after the event, and how nice they were. It was truly a pleasure working with the Savory Events Team. read more

Jorden did an amazing job catering my wedding! The food was fantastic (people are still talking about it weeks later), and she did so much to make everything run smoothly and look beautiful. The staff was so polite and friendly. I was impressed by every single person from savory events. I am grateful to have hired such a proficient business who could provide amazing food with zero stress for me during my wedding! read more

My wife and I hired Savory Events for our small wedding in Big Sur, Ca. As other reviewers have noted, Jorden, her team, and their food are absolutely stellar. This review appears to be the first for Savory Events in the pandemic era. Jorden took every precaution necessary to ensure that our guests felt safe and comfortable. The staff wore gloves and masks and kept their distance from our guests. They really went above and beyond what we expected of them. Communicating with Jorden was very easy as she seemed to know what I wanted before asking. I highly recommend this company for their excellent food, professionalism and high quality safety standards. read more

Jorden catered my intimate Big Sur wedding with 12 guests (+1 vendor), and she was wonderful to work with. Of course the food was outstanding - delicious, and the appetizers in particular were beautifully arranged. But what really made Jorden (and her staff) stand out is exceptional professionalism and customer service. She was excellent at communicating and really easy to work with, even though I both am very particular and arranged everything last minute (~1 mo before the event). She also coordinated rentals (from Alexis, for a reasonable fee), which was really helpful. Everything was set up in a way that from the time Jorden & staff arrived to when they left, I didn't have to worry about a thing - everything was perfectly cleaned up at our venue site. Overall, Jorden and her staff were exactly what we needed - professionals who took care of everything behind the scenes so that we could just relax and enjoy our small, intimate family wedding without worry. read more

Jorden and her team catered our wedding in Big Sur in June and she was such a pleasure to work with throughout the entire year (!!) of planning. We initially chose to work with Jorden because she didn't feel like just another caterer - she immediately took the time to talk to us and we could tell right away that she was really passionate about her work. Not to mention, all of her food looked amazing and we loved that we could serve everything family style. We had the hardest time choosing what to serve because every single thing on the sample menu sounded so delicious. Jorden was also accommodating to all of our requests and needs - we wanted to bring our own oysters from Tomales Bay and she provided a chef to shuck the oysters and made a special oyster station with delicious mignonette, hot sauce, and lemon wedges. She made a fresh lemon juice rosemary gin cocktail for our specialty cocktail and it was awesome - people were raving about them all night. Seriously, outstanding service, attention, and organization throughout. Come wedding day, the food was absolutely amazing and her team was so incredibly kind to us and all of our guests. And everything looked beautiful! We would 100% recommend Savory Events to anyone. Thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable! read more

We got married on May 27, 2017, and used Jorden (Savory Events) to cater our wedding at Highlands House in Ben Lomond. So so happy we chose her :) She (and her staff) are so talented, professional, and organized (and lovely)! Everything went according to what we had planned. Jorden patiently emailed me back dozens of times to plan a vegetarian feast. Guests were especially raving about the grilled market vegetable lasagne with 3 gourmet cheeses, the California Mezze Platter (appetizer), and the salt roasted beets (side dish). She and her staff set up the tables, and did so much work! They all blended into the wedding, which made it all seem effortless and running smoothly. Highly highly recommend. read more

Jorden catered our wedding with 120 guests on a farm in Pescadero, CA. She is a talented chef, very organized and prompt, and a joy to work with. I highly recommend her. Jorden really does her homework - she met with us for a private tasting, visited our venue so she knew what she was dealing with, came with us to the rentals vendor and helped us select dishes and linens, and returned countless emails. She had a binder with all the information related to our wedding printed and labeled and was by far our most organized vendor! The food Jorden served was amazing! It was all family style, served one dish at a time, which really brought people together. I won't go into menu details but I will say that we got several compliments on the salmon, and a few people said it was they best food they'd had at a wedding. She prepared special meals for our guests with food restrictions, and for our other vendors, at no additional charge. Jorden went above and beyond to make our day great. To help us save money, she agreed to prepare and plate the appetizers, desserts, and cocktails that we had purchased separately. And when we realized we forgot to purchase beer for the dance party, she sent one of her staff out to the nearest town to buy provisions! On top of all this, Jorden is super nice and friendly. If I ever need anything catered again, she will be the first person I call! read more

Jorden and team were fantastic! They cooked a delicious family style dinner for our recent wedding in Big Sur. Multiple guests commented on how delicious the food was. The food was incredibly fresh and I loved that it was local to the area. I would highly recommend Jorden! read more

Jordan and her crew catered our intimate Big Sur wedding this past September and everything was AMAZING. We had originally arranged for dinner to be outside on the deck, but Mother Nature had other plans. It was incredibly windy when they arrived to set up, so she and her crew brought everything inside and set up inside the house. They were very "take charge" which was great because I was an emotional wreck getting ready for the ceremony and was not able to make rational decisions. Lol. The food preparation was fast and organized and the food was a hit with everyone there! Appetizers were awesome. We opted to have Jordan prepare gourmet burgers and have a french fry bar, and all of our guests were raving about the burgers and how good they were. I was thrilled with the whole crew from the minute they walked in until the moment they left. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. No stress, no nonsense and amazing, creative, fresh food. FIVE STARS! read more

We hosted a party for 40 people in our home. The Savory Event caterer (Jorden) provided hot hors d'oeuvres that were cooked at the house. Jorden guided us on the number of servings needed and everyone ate their fill. She and her staff brought all of their supplies into the house without a commotion and proceeded to pull it all together in a quiet and professional way. The food and the service was outstanding and the guests all commented on how much they enjoyed it. We will use their services again. read more
