Affordable Catering in Santa Cruz and Beyond

All I can say is you are 100% professional, smooth, and tons of fun to work with. Every element of our beverage and food service was smooth and relaxed. I love how you had bamboo skewers to hold up the cake in an emergency, the disposable paper are that we forgot to bring for desserts, and that lighter for the candles…. You and your crew handled each “crisis” with ease, grace, and humor. AND YOU SURE CAN COOK!

That is incredibly kind of you to say! We genuinely appreciate such a glowing review.
It sounds like we were able to handle the little surprises that always seem to pop up during events with the right tools and a positive attitude . I am thrilled that you felt relaxed and that every element of our food and beverage service met your expectations, and I’m especially happy you enjoyed the cooking!
It was a pleasure serving you and your guests, and I hope we have the chance to work together again in the future.
