MIRTH Made Our Wedding Unforgettable
•Verified review
•Amy C.•Aug 22, 2025
We got married at a private home in Carmel Valley, and MIRTH handled the food. I honestly can’t say enough good things. From the start, they just got it. The menu was seasonal, creative, and so well thought out—it felt like a true reflection of the area and the time of year. Our guests were blown away. The roasted vegetables, the miso salmon, the burrata—it was all delicious and beautifully presented without being fussy. The team was warm, professional, and totally in sync with the vibe we were going for. Everything ran smoothly, and I actually got to relax and enjoy the day knowing we were in great hands. So grateful for MIRTH. They made something really special feel easy.

Loved My Wedding!

We had MIRTH cater our small backyard wedding on July 2, and it was absolutely perfect. From the first conversation, everything felt relaxed and easy. The food was fresh, seasonal, and incredibly flavorful—our guests are still talking about the tacos and lentil salad. The setup was beautiful without being fussy, and the team made it all feel effortless. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We had MIRTH cater our event on June 27, 2025, and it was everything we hoped for. The buffet was beautifully styled, and every dish felt seasonal, fresh, and full of flavor. 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.
