As a wedding photographer, I eat A LOT of wedding food and let me tell you that this wasn't like the normal dinner every other weekend. The best part of all of this? The dinner was plant based. Everyone raved about it all night (even the die hard meat lovers). I wish they catered all the weddings I photograph!

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.

Mel and her team bring excellent service, delicious cuisine, and a fantastic creative eye to every event they execute. As a photographer, I work with many event planners and caterers. Mel has my highest recommendation for any wedding or hosted event. From the moment she and I first connected, I found Mel to be extremely responsive and easy to contact. She provided clear instructions and information leading up to the event so my assistant and I would know exactly what to expect. Mel worked with the grooms to create a unique, outstanding menu with elements involving both their preferences and their cultural backgrounds.
