Melissa walked me through the planning process and made it easy and hassle-free. She easily accommodated different dietary needs, and I especially appreciated that they were willing to cater a fairly small party (16 people). The food was a hit, especially the brisket sliders, German potato salad, and the spice cupcakes! Thanks to Roaming Feast, we were able to enjoy the party without having to focus on fixing the feast!

Melissa and Markus went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we felt taken care of. Most importantly, the food was delicious!

Five Star Catering helped our company deliver an incredible Annual Party at the Seymour Center in…read moreSanta Cruz, CA. Their team was instrumental from the very beginning, offering thoughtful layout recommendations, coordinating rentals (from games to outdoor heaters to candle votives), and ensuring every detail was accounted for. Laura was a tremendous partner throughout the months of planning, and Caitlin's day of coordination was exceptional. She and the entire crew made sure food was always stocked, guests were never holding onto dirty plates nor empty drinks, and the bartenders crafted excellent cocktails all night long. Their cleanup was just as impressive; efficient, thorough, and seamless. I cannot thank Five Star Catering enough for helping us create such a memorable corporate event. We will absolutely be working with them again. I highly recommend them to any organization planning a large even. They truly elevate every aspect of the experience.

This review is very belated. We had Talaveras Tacos cater an event for ~70 people at a park last…read moresummer. They were wonderful to work with, from start to finish: very responsive to our initial inquiries, pricing was as expected, and the team showed up on time and was ready to serve food on time. They also packed up the leftovers before they left so that latecomers could still eat. My only critique was that the elotes didn't look like the pic on Yelp. But everything was delicious, and people were going back for more!

We hired Talavera Tacos for our baby shower this past weekend based on glowing recommendations from…read morefriends and family. While the food eventually arrived, the experience leading up to and during the event was fraught with unnecessary stress. Initial communication was great, but it trailed off as we got closer to the date. Despite their "quick response" phone number, my calls and texts went completely ignored. To make matters worse, the voicemail changed from a personal greeting to a generic one 72 hours before my event, leaving me terrified that we had been scammed. We increased our headcount from 65 to 75 a week prior. After being told this was fine, I was sent an incorrect invoice that ignored the new guest count and asked for a second $300 deposit I had already paid. It took multiple follow-up emails just to get a confirmation on the final numbers. On the day of, the staff arrived promptly and set up on time. However, only 30 minutes into service--with only 30 of our 75 guests fed--they completely ran out of cilantro, onions, and grilled peppers. When I followed up the next day, they claimed they prepared for "70 guests." Even if that were true, it wasn't the 75 we paid for, and it certainly doesn't explain running out of basic toppings after 30 people. I'm incredibly glad we didn't use them for our wedding last year as originally planned. It's disappointing when the service doesn't match the reputation. 2 stars for due prompt service and the guests that got all the food really enjoyed the steak & shrimp.

The food was so good and our guests raved about it even after the event. We opted for a multi course plated service and everything was delicious, presented so beautifully and made fresh local ingredients that truly wowed us all. I highly recommend their short ribs, baked havarti oysters, and do not pass on Bruces famous brownies! We absolutely loved how great the team was to work with as well. From the very beginning Bruce listened to the tastes/foods that were important to us and delivered on our special day. Jordan was a true hero handling our event rentals and making sure we had everything we needed for our bar service. Both were very responsive the entire time, and even hosted us for a tasting a few months prior to the event allowing us to sample what we were getting ourselves in to. I'd like to add that we also played a round of golf with them- these guys really love what they do and the people that they get to work with and it was really special for us to gain friends along the way. Thank you guys again for such a wonderful experience and we can't wait to work with you again soon!

It was a pleasure working with Karen Major for my son's wedding at Nestldown this August 2024. I…read moretotally recommend Poetry in Motion to cater your events. She's creative, patient, and such a wonderful person to work with. Poetry in Motin (PIM) was one of the prefered vendors at Nestldown. Karen has a personal relationship with the owners and we can see why she was most preferred. We considerd 3 vendors to cater for the wedding but went with Karen @ PIM for the following reasons: 1. Karen is so sweet to work with. She,very patiently, waited for my son and his now wife to decide on the type of food they wanted at their wedding. She asked them to give her an idea of their fav foods so that she could recommend and present us with a potentila menu. We went through about 2-3 menu options before finally deciding on a menu. Karen also gave us a wonderful complimentary tasting at her home. It was cozy and the food samples were delicious! I was lucky to be included in the tastings. We had to do 2 tastings because my son and his wife changed the entire menu after the initial tasting. 2. The couple were very specific about the signature cocktails they wanted to serve. Karen worked with them to get their particular drink ingredients into the cocktails. While we did not do a tasting of the cocktails, she and her team, nailed it. My son is an avid bourbon drinker and wanted his old fashioned with specific brands of bourbon etc. Karen worked with us on this - she asked us to give her the recipe so that her crew can create it. 3. Karen and her team were on top of everything as the wedding month approached. We chatted via email as well as phone calls to fine tune the menu, order items and place settings. 4. Nestldown uses a specific software for wedding planning and Lauren, Karen's assistant, worked with me on the seating chart. I was not able to input the actual chart into the Nestldown system so Loren did this for me. I also messed up on the seating arrangements and Loren was very patient in working with me to re-number the seats and make sure that I had the correct people seated at the correct table! Of course, we had to change the seating arrangement as our guest count changed. 5. On the day of the wedding, Karen and her crew were just amazing. Our guests enjoyed their meal and everyone commented on how delicious it was. Karen also added in extra appetizers to our menu - Thank you, Karen! So appreciative of this. 6. The wedding at Nestldown was held at different locations so Karen and her crew had to manage the drinks and food as we changed locations. We had passed appetizers at the Koi Pond area. Our 100 guests were spread out and Karen made sure that everyone was taken care of. We had dinner on the main lawn and it was a plated meal. Everyone was served their meal on time and the food was served at the perfect temperature. I did not see too many plates with any food left on it! A special shout out to Karen - who made sure that my youngest son, who is a picky eater and had some food allergies, was taken are of. she made him a very special meal The couple were well taken care of. They were able to enjoy every bit of the food we served. My son and daughter-in-law were so happy and totally enjoyed their special day. I was bummed that I did not get to sample any of the desserts that were served as they were devoured. I saw them displayed and they looked beautiful. Our guests were totally enjoying the desserts. We had tiramisu, assorted fruit tarts and wedding cupcakes. At the end of the evening, Karen and her crew neatly packed up our car with any remaining cupcakes, alcohol/wines. I would work with Karen and her crew again for any future events.
