Buttercup Catering catered my wedding on April 1st and Kelly and her staff did an awesome job! First and foremost, the food was absolutely amazing and so delicious. She provided ap...
petizers, salads, entrees, and all the beverages for the evening (I'm a pastry chef, so I made my own wedding cake or else Buttercup would've been tasked with that too!). The whole process from start to finish was so easy, Kelly was extremely helpful and always quick to respond to emails and happy to answer any questions I had. On top of the food, Buttercup also provided all our linens, place settings, glassware, servers, and a bartender. And at the last minute I asked her if she could get her florist to put together a spray for the top of our ceremony arbor, and she was able to arrange it perfectly. It was so convenient to be able to count on Kelly and Buttercup Catering for so many aspects of the evening. And again, the food was AMAZING! I definitely recommend Buttercup Catering for your next event!
Buttercup Catering is a foodies delight! Fresh, Creative and they have me wanting more :)

ane hangar at the chino Airport called Cal Areo, a really unique one of a kind wedding/ party venue.
They served Salmon and Braised Beef with two different kinds of salads, even the dressings served were delcious-ness!! Just perfectly paired with the salads. One salad even had fresh raspberries on it. The wild rice blend was so moist and good, and the veggies - baby squash, carrots and grilled asparagus - YUM!
Chef Kelly & Melissa know what they are doing and are passionate about food and beverages! Even their iced tea was sooo good and the chafers and serving trays were beautiful. Great job ladies!
I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to Kelly and her staff. She made our wedding and reception a remarkable affair to remember for our wedding party, friends, and family. She ...
not only did an amazing job with the food, but also the table arraignments and settings. She also did a beautiful job with the bouquets and the grooms and groomsmen boutineers. Her staff was amazing professional and very accommodating. She put all our fears and concerns to rest and also answered a very nervous brides every questions. Thank you Kelly and group, we will be using you again. We love you all for your efforts.

*The more in depth of version (My personal experience)
Buttercup was absolutely amazing and best part "STRESS FREE"!!!! I was planning a backyard wedding (which are never stress free). I first met Chef Kelly (owner) at a local coffee place. She is such a delightful person to work with, has such a creative mind mind set and is on top of her game. I walked in ready to talk about the food for the event. That completely changed!!!
Not only do they offer an array of delicious foods you can choose from, Kelly strives to help you organize and book everything you need to be set for your event! I booked her Pastry Chef who was able to create exactly what the Bride envisioned as her wedding Cake. Then there was party rentals- chairs, linens, tables, table decorations, china, stemware, dance floor. When I left, I had 95% of my checklist done! With Buttercup, the sky is the limit! Kelly took care of the details and communication with all of the vendors from start to finish. Which was so pleasant only having to deal with Kelly for details vs calling a million other people to make sure things go smoothly.
Then two days before the wedding the Bride remembered she never booked her bouquet or the men's boutonnieres!! I quickly texted Kelly to see if she knew a florist that could do it last minute! Of course here comes Kelly to the rescue! The bride gave her budget and details of what she envisioned.
The day of the event, all the vendors were on time to drop off and set up before guests arrived. All of Buttercup's employees were on time, helpful, dressed accordingly and very professional. It was buffet style. So they made sure everything was moving smoothly and food was kept warm by the time dinner came around! Guests were going back for seconds, then thirds! Everyone raved about how delicious the food and cake were. As for the Bride, she absolutely loved her bouquet! It turned out to be more beautiful then what she had envisioned.
Last, but not least the dreadful clean up!!! After dinner was served, the employees cleaned up and asked when I'd like for them to be back to pick up the linens and the rest of the stemware. When it came to the rest of the vendors, Kelly took care of arranging all the pick up times with all the vendors and not making it an hassle or inconvenience for us. Which was of course was another perk going threw Buttercup's vendors!!!
The end result- Stress free hostest, happy stuffed guests and a beautiful backyard wedding!!!
