Guests couldn’t stop talking about the tacos and the Enchilada Cupcakes. The team was easy to work with, professional yet laid-back, and the whole experience felt warm and effortless. It struck the perfect balance of quality and comfort. We’d happily work with MIRTH again for future events.

YOOSHI SUSHI CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION 

5.0

  • Serves Santa Cruz, CA

I had my first shot at managing a sushi restaurant when I took over an empty section of the family restaurant and introduced sushi to my customers. It was a challenge that I will never regret accepting. It was fun, a lot of fun! I had the opportunity to work with some really talented and creative chefs. I quickly learned that it’s not just about having fresh fish anymore. Sushi dining has transformed into a culture. A culture built by imagination and creativity. With the help of GD and the support of my family, I took all that experience and fused it with my imagination and created Yooshi Sushi Catering and Event Production.

Aloha Kākou! My name is Yvette and I am the owner and founder of Aloha Poke Bar. Our mobile poke cart comes to you with easy set up and break down and makes the perfect addition to enhance your special day. What is poke? Poke (po-keh) is the Hawaiian word to “slice” or “cut crosswise” and has been served as a traditional raw fish dish around the islands for thousands of years. Our poke bowls offer fresh flavors made only with locally grown ingredients, providing an authentic taste and of Hawai'i diverse culture and flavors. Our unlimited customizable toppings bar creates a fun and interactive experience for guests suitable for every palate.

Aloha Poke Bar went above and beyond for our wedding. From the moment they set up to the last moments of breakdown, they came in with care, aloha and allowed us to put our focus on the main event (not to mention the poke is fresh!). Our wedding would not have been the same without them. Mahalo APB!

We had sushi private catering as our food catering service for our wedding. Their food and services are amazing! All their sushi, sashimi, nigiri, and hand rolls were fresh made. Private chefs even made a special sashimi deluxe for my husband and I. I still remember how buttery their blue fin tuna sashimi are! The buffet table was beautifully decorated and food was well present. All our guests were very pleased.

quake catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Santa Cruz, CA

Quake Catering is California's premier catering and food delivery service. We offer services for corporate, private, and weddings. We offer a variety of cuisines all encompassing Bay Area flavors. Some of our most popular options includes our traditional wedding menu, our hibachi option, or our Mexican cuisine. A very popular option for weddings is our dessert bike!

Quake catering was so easy to work with. I wasn't sure what cuisine I wanted to serve. They provided me with some options that would satisfy all of guests. They were in constant communication throughout the process. The day of the celebration the staff arrived early and kept me informed the entire time. I was able to enjoy myself and not worry about the details. I recommend Quake catering!

Mr Fresh Sushi Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Santa Cruz, CA for additional fees

Mr Fresh Sushi Catering, top-rated sushi catering service in Southern California, offers you an unforgettable sushi experience with our experienced private sushi chefs and high-quality food. With live sushi stations, omakase style and custom menus available, Mr Fresh Catering will make your event shine.

A Dream Wedding Brought to Life Through Sushi Artistry We cannot thank Mr. Fresh Sushi Catering enough for the unforgettable culinary experience they provided at our wedding! From our very first tasting to the final roll served on our big day, their team was professional, passionate, and beyond talented. Our wedding took place at the Adamson House in Malibu, and the setting was already beautiful—but Mr. Fresh brought it to the next level with a stunning sushi and appetizer spread that completely wowed our guests. We chose a stationary appetizer format to allow for a relaxed, social vibe, and it worked perfectly. The sushi was incredibly fresh, artfully presented, and bursting with flavor. Guests are still raving about the spicy tuna poke cones, the live sushi station, and the yakitori skewers that were grilled to perfection. Even our friends who aren't huge sushi lovers went back for seconds (and thirds). The presentation was elegant and fit seamlessly with our theme—modern, clean, and full of coastal charm. The Mr. Fresh team worked closely with us to customize the menu and made sure every dietary preference was considered. Their professionalism, creativity, and care truly made our wedding feel unique and personal. If you're considering a sushi-forward catering option for your event—look no further. Mr. Fresh Sushi Catering is the best decision we made (besides saying "I do")! — Maya & Kenji W.
