They are excited to collaborate with you and find out more about your unique tastes and vision for your wedding banquet. We work with all budgets.

Selecting a caterer for our wedding was a very daunting task. So many caterers to choose from, all at different price levels and various offerings. After interviewing a handful of companies, we decided to go with the team at Krafted Culture. From the beginning Chef Cooper was attentive to our vision, and our budget. He helped guide us along the path from beginning to our wedding day. Chef Cooper was always punctual, reliable, respectful and honest. He truly had our best interests at heart. At our tasting, we knew we had made the right choice. The food was phenomenal. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the entire layout of our wedding changed 4 days prior to the big day. Chef Cooper was very instrumental in collaborating with our wedding coordinator and made sure that the changes would not affect his service. On the day of Chef and his team were on time, ready to work and pleasant with our guests. Our guests did not have to wait long for their meal and they all loved the food, especially the Caribbean Chicken. If we had to do it all over again we would not hesitate to hire Krafted Culture. If you are looking for a professional caterer that provides quality food and excellent day of service at a very fair price, look no further than Chef Cooper and his team at Krafted Culture.

I had the chance to work with Renee at one of my client's engagement party where she managed the bar and food service for a big swanky summer barbeque. The setup was smooth, her team was incredibly competent, and the bar was a major hit with the guests. While the food for this particular event was casual picnic fare, everything was served efficiently and on time. I've also had the pleasure of trying Renee's hors d'oeuvres at other events, and they were absolutely delicious - she's clearly a talented chef with a great sense for elevated flavors. Her professionalism and ability to manager large crowd really stood out.

Wired Wally 

5.0

  • Starts at $5
  • Serves Santa Maria, CA

Wired Wally is a catering and beverage company that specializes in providing unique and client specific meals and specialty lattes, mocktails and other drinks. We love to create menus specific to your theme. We can also provide you with vendor contacts for decor, valet, venues and more! We have been feeding the bellies of celebrities like Julia Roberts, Tori Spelling, Harry Styles and more for 10+ years. Our event sizes range from 10 guests to 4000+.

We ordered Breakfast boxes (total game changer) for the bridal party because we did not want to worry about cooking a big meal or going out to a busy restaurant and take up all our time getting ready. I had 60 boxes dropped off (Breakfast burritos, fruit and cold brew coffee) for my husbands side and groomsmen, my side and my bridesmaids. I am happy we decided to do it because it helped sustain us since we didn't get to eat again till later after the reception. We also ordered a drop off appetizers that they set up on our tables before the wedding. Caprese, ceviche, and mini steak bowls. Briggidy helped me over the phone and everything was delivered on time. The food tasted great! They use vendors from the farmers market so all the produce was fresh and bright. 10/10

From the moment we first contacted Chef John's Events & Catering, we were impressed by their prompt, complete and detailed communication style. They always offered helpful suggestions to ensure our wedding day was perfect. The quality and quantity of the food they provided was superior, and the value far exceeded the price. Chef Jeannette and her team were a pleasure to work with, as they accommodated guests with severe allergies and dietary requirements, ensuring a safe and delicious experience for everyone. Additionally, they left the kitchen area spotless after the event, despite catering the wedding at a friend's home. I had experienced Chef Jeannette's delicious food at several corporate events prior to my wedding, so I knew I wanted to use Chef John's Catering. They made the planning and preparation so much easier, and were willing to work with us on our budget and specific requests. We couldn't have been happier with their exceptional service and incredible food.

Dream caterer! From start to finish, it was a delicious and unique dining experience that would not have been possible without Mel Walker's flexibility during the planning process. GourMel seamlessly integrated family-style dinner service at our request, plus custom cocktails, mocktails and non-traditional desserts. Mel shaped our dinner into something people raved about for the next year. With a deep bench of menu options, we appreciated how Mel talked us through how dishes could work together or be approached differently. Mel's team was amazing and checked on us throughout the wedding. We wanted for nothing! Her service staff is the best in town. Mel choreographed our entire day, facilitated rentals, entertainment and kept up right on schedule. She and her staff sent us off with a surprise picnic dinner with plates, forks, napkins and wine since they knew we didn't eat much due to socializing so much. GourMel goes above and beyond in every way.
