Since our venue did not have a preferred vendor list or a built-in catering team, we were given maximum flexibility (which is also intimidating, as the choice and freedom can be a bit overwhelming). To help narrow things down, our planner prompted us to choose a single type of cuisine that we like, and work from there. We both love New Orleans / Cajun cuisine, so enter My House. From their first proposal, we were all in. It featured childhood favorites like fried catfish, and out-of-the-ordinary passed appetizers like mini chicken & waffles. Our first calls with them were relaxed, collaborative and informative. Our first tasting, while kinda pricey (isn't everything?), went really well - and gave us a chance to provide more feedback and tweaks, which were promptly applied to later estimates and menus. As our planning evolved, it was a little tough to try to keep the budget in check, and it meant making some tough calls to cut costs (for instance - jettisoning late night bites), My House was always willing to work with both us and our planner on finding financial solutions - but there were a few moments where we felt like we didn't know what to expect, and stressed out a bit when we saw the latest numbers. I suppose this is part of the process for lots of couples. I never lost faith that they'd turn it out on the big day, and I'm happy to share that they did just that. They created an incredibly tasteful display for our buffet, which struck a balance between rustic and elegant. The staff was helpful, efficient, and professional - but I want to give special highlight to Simone. Simone was personable, diligent and intuitive. She knows exactly what she's doing, any couple would be very lucky to have her running any aspect of their event - because she does it with aplomb. The food was absolutely delicious. Big, bold flavors - zesty, crunchy, creamy, smoky, cheesy, sweet and spicy and everything in between . We loved hosting such a delectable menu that departed from the traditional wedding fare, but stayed true to the cuisine of New Orleans and the tastes of Southern comfort. So, so, so, so good!

We’ve used food first events & catering three times now. The level of detail, service, and food is outstanding from begging to the end. These guys are pros. We even trusted them with our wedding. I wouldn’t do it any other way. They go above and beyond with helping with all the details of events to ensure the customer has an excellent time. Innovative ways of accommodating us and coming up with great ideas where all of our guests were amazed. The food is top notch quality. They accommodated diverse requests. For example, surf and turf, to vegan, and our last event, which was Thai. All were outstanding, think Michelin star quality. They are very kind and take all of our needs in to consideration. They have great ideas on how to make an incredible event thats creates life long memories. These guys are the best! They even did my sisters wedding.

At Unicorn Wings & Amazing Things, we’re a small, family-owned catering company serving Southern California couples with heart, flavor, and flexibility. From buffet spreads to beverage stations and dessert displays, everything we make is from scratch — lovingly prepared and styled to match your unique vision and vibe.

I hired Dani Rose for multiple services for my wedding—florals, bar, appetizers, and decor—and she truly made my day stress-free and beautiful. Everything came together perfectly. The appetizers were such a hit that my photographer could barely get photos—our guests devoured all 1,000 of them almost instantly! The presentation was stunning, and the flavors were unforgettable. From start to finish, Dani brought my vision to life while keeping me calm and taken care of. I’m so grateful for everything she did and would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and hardworking vendor who genuinely cares. — Dahlia

I’m Chef Nisha, owner of Loaded by Nisha, with 9 years of experience in diverse cuisines. I've worked with high-profile clients and was voted a top private chef in AZ and NV. Let’s schedule a meeting to discuss!

Loaded By Nisha was absolutely amazing and undescribable. The communication from Chef Nisha and her team was communicative, descriptive and informative from start to finish. On our special day, they made themselves readily available and took care of all of our food needs with care and precision. The chef and her staff came in, set up, and made some of the most memorable and delicious food we have ever had. Nisha's energy is something you would love to have at a wedding after everything is done - you can truly taste the love in the food. We were blown away by the quality of their work and the value they provided. We cannot recommend Loaded By Nisha enough for your wedding or event.

It’s cooked with parboiled rice in a mixture of carefully selected peppers to give you that authentic taste of Nigerian Jollof. Looking forward to bringing our flavors to your next event!

Jolas Kitchen catered at our wedding on December 27th. I cannot say enough good things about Chef Jola, she was so communicative, and made excellent recommendations and suggestions, which was so helpful to me as a first time bride who had never planned such a large event before. We were absolutely blown away by the presentation, and the care and attentiveness of chef Jola and her team. I have never worked with such thoughtful and kind caterers, they really thought of everything and made the night such a wonderful and stress free experience for us. The food was absolutely amazing and our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved everything, from the Beef Suya (my personal favorite) to the Cole Slaw, to the Jollof and Meat Pies, and the Puff Puff. A lot of brides don’t eat much on their wedding day, but I cleaned my whole plate and even took some home with me. Highly recommend!

For a fun and delicious menu, a beautifully decorated unique event, solid staff and peace of mind, Mel at GourMel catering is the one call to make. Mel helped us with EVERYTHING.
