Canyon Catering

Lin and the whole team at Canyon were some of the best people to work with and truly made our wedding a rousing success. Lin helped us hone our vision and had incredible suggestions (from other vendors to work with to food recommendations) - we couldn't imagine a better partner!! They were extremely responsive and helpful every step of the way. We had enough confidence in them that we never actually did a tasting and on the day, boy, the food was PHENOMENAL. We wanted the food to be a focal point of our wedding and we've heard many comments of "this is the best meal, let alone wedding dinner, I've ever had." Canyon also managed our rentals which proved to be an excellent idea and absolutely worth the effort. Our only regret was that we couldn't eat more!!! Thank you Lin and everyone at Canyon!!

The food was delicious and the service was impeccable! On time, smooth and do professional!

Canyon Catering was great!! They were so easy and everyone at our wedding LOVED the food! Will definitely be using them again in the future for other events!!

Our contact was Christina, who worked our wedding from the beginning of the tasting process before we had decided to use Canyon, our site walkthrough, telephone calls and text messages, and the actual execution of the wedding. It was a joy to work with her every single time. In contrast to other vendors we considered, Christina did not employ the sickly-sweet wedding-industrial-complex sales approach. Instead, Christina was straightforward, practical, friendly, funny, and extremely competent. Canyon’s team was great the day of our wedding. They had worked our venue before, but they were fully prepared in advance through walkthroughs and conversations with our planner. Our venue had extremely finicky requirements of all the vendors, but Canyon had no problem satisfying those and keeping them happy. Food was great, the service was wonderful, and I felt like they were the most comprehensive set of food and service for our price point. I heard from guests that they were extremely good about bringing by hors d'oeurves and wine. Absolutely great and worth every penny. They were also very nice and attentive in general. We had a different vendor show up late because of traffic, and the man was sweating incredibly profusely because he began running around setting things up when he arrived. Canyon has such attentive people that one of their servers came by with a stack of napkins so he could dry himself off. It was a really nice and thoughtful thing to do for a man in dire need. I would use them again, no question, for any kind of event. We used Canyon for plated dinner, hors d'oeurves, after-dinner coffee station with real cinnamon sticks, and late night pizza. Christina even wrote us a thank you note after thanking us for the gratuity we left, every cent of which was well deserved. Highly, highly recommended.

Canyon Catering did an excellent job serving the 200 guests at our wedding. Lynn, our contact, was so professional and responsive. She worked hard to ensure that our menu was exactly the way we wanted it, including adding delicious vegan entrees & desserts after we already 'set' the menu. She changed the menu several times for us and allowed multiple tastings to ensure we loved everything that they would served at the wedding. Of course, things were busy the day of the wedding but things went very smoothly from my perspective and I am fairly certain all guests enjoyed the food.

I cannot gush enough about my love of Canyon Catering. They catered our wedding in October and were absolutely AMAZING! The food was extraordinary and they tailored the menu to our very specific requests. They even contacted the restaurant for my favorite dish so that they could perfectly recreate it for miniature appetizers. You know how people always tell you that you won't get to eat at your wedding? Not with Canyon Catering. They had plates for us right away and saved us a tray of appetizers so we didn't have to miss out on them! The food was phenomenal, their service staff was exceptional, and the price could not be beat! (And trust me, we looked around a lot!) The fact that they were able to craft a menu perfectly for us was so important and really just made the whole experience a dream. These guys delivered fantastic passed hors d'oeuvres and a flawless dinner with perfectly timed service. I highly recommend them!!

Canyon Catering is the best! Christina went above and beyond what was in our contract. She is so great and easy to work with. The food was delicious and the presentation was amazing. Our wedding guests were very pleased with everything and raved about the food. Already booked Canyon Catering for another event!

Canyon Catering was an excellent venue to work with. Christina was extremely helpful and was very accommodating of all our preferences and last-minute requests. The event went smoothly (save for a minor incident with wait staff that we didn't hear about until much later), and we got many compliments about the quality of the food. Highly recommended!

Canyon Catering was the best! The food was beyond amazing, the chef was so attentive to my husband and I at our wedding, they packaged all of the food for us to take at the end of the night (and there was a lot of it!), but the service that stuck out the most was that they allowed me to pick up a few of the linens early so I was able to set up a few surprise decorations myself. Aside from being called Samantha by my event coordinator (who just so happens to have the same name as myself), I had nothing but a perfect experience with them and I would recommend their services to anyone I know.

Before our wedding, my experience with wedding food was that it was not that great. Definitely NOT the case with Canyon Catering. We had a large-er guest count at 220, so it was recommended that we serve the food Buffet Style. People went back for seconds and thirds! We opted for the country style BBQ with tri-tip/pulled pork/chicken with baked beans, mac n cheese, creamed corn, corn bread and southwest caesar salad. All leftovers were sent home with us, and anything that was leftover was gone by the end of the night at our after party! So many guests complimented on how great the food was. Christina Cooper is an angel and so amazing to work with! She was always very helpful in answering our questions and so responsive to make any changes we needed. Thank you Canyon Catering for helping make our day so amazing!

The team at Canyon Catering did a fabulous job for our wedding. Food was absolutely excellent, and our coordinators/leads - what have you - Steven and Christina, were absolutely phenomenal in helping me plan every aspect of the day to the last detail. Christina put up with last minute head count changes, sudden changes to food quantities, etc. and never made me feel like I was being difficult. A few weeks before the wedding she and Steven came out to see the venue and walk me through exactly where everything would go. So helpful. Food was excellent, service professional - couldn't have asked for more. Thanks so much for being a part of our big day! Diane "Marcus" Giulioni Recent Bride, Happy Customer

Sofia and the Canyon Catering team are the best of the best! We used Canyon Catering for our wedding at Retro Ranch in Temecula and we are so glad we did. Everyone is still talking about the food. From the very first email Sofia was professional, kind, informative and helpful. She helped us plan the perfect meal from appetizers through late night munchies. I can't say enough nice things about Sofia, Nick, their team and every ounce of food at our wedding. We were worried that the delicious food we tried at our tasting would not be as good at the wedding but that's was far from the truth. Do yourself a favor a get the mini chicken and waffles! I'm still craving them a month later. Thank you Canyon Catering for being the best part of our wedding! Xoxo

The experience started out on such a positive note: great meetings, tastings and relationships. We were having a "food-truck" themed wedding and so it was to be a bunch of small plates (sliders, tacos, sirloin, soup, grilled cheese, chicken and waffles), and also a french fry and salad station. For a late night snack, we ordered flat-bread pizzas. We were stoked. Unbeknownst to us until after the wedding: 1) Many tables did not receive more than one of the multiple pass-tray items. For example, some only received one slider, and some only received tacos, etc. The staff would come out, and only pass food to the same tables. Sadly, many people missed out on a lot of food, and many guests left the wedding really hungry. 2) People waited in line upwards of 40 minutes for the french fry station. Come to find out, they were using a tiny single fryer to make the french fries for 200 guests. 3) We left the venue at 10:30. The flatbread pizza did not come out until 11:00. The only people that were left at the venue were about 15 people (out of 200 guests), and they were busy cleaning up. So, practically nobody (including us) got to have this. 4) Guests had to ask for plates, and many were told that they had either run out, or that it was not part of the package that we paid for (obviously, not true). When I provided professional and constructive feedback, the response was to say that they got behind schedule and that we should "do it again next year and they will be more prepared". I then followed up with the general manager, who seemed to want to help. After looking into it, the next response I got was to confirm what I already knew: that they did get behind, they are not sure why things didn't work. Bottom line, many people did not get much food at all and we did not even receive one of the items we paid for. While the events and communications leading up to the wedding were very positive- the day of and the days after fell significantly short of what I would expect from any professional catering service in which I have paid over $11,000. The quality of food can only go so far, if the professionalism and customer service is lacking as much as it is. Pretty disappointed.

AMAZING!!! I really can't say enough great things about Canyon Catering. From my first conversation with Nick over the phone to email communications with Sofia to our in home tasting and of course, the big event--our wedding, Canyon Catering was truly the best. Professional, friendly, fantastic quality of food, and affordable! Working with Sofia was easy and stress free. She went above and beyond in all areas to ensure our wedding was exactly what we wanted and then some. Not only was the food at our wedding great tasting, Canyon Catering took time to focus on personal details that were important to us and make them happen. All of the guests I spoke to mentioned how great the food was! On top of the food being personal and tasty, Sofia made sure all the details that needed to be taken care of were including linens, china wear, and full service staffing. We elected to bring our own alcohol to our wedding, but Canyon took care of the bartender and the bar set up which included ice and cups for all of our guests. I could go on and on about how great our experience with Sofia and Nick from Canyon Catering was, but bottomline is they are the BEST!

Canyon Catering was one of the best company's we worked with throughout on wedding planning. Nick and Sofia were professional and on top of everything...despite our crazy venue requests these two created a wonderful experience. Our friends and family raved about the food and service. I would recommend Canyon Catering to anyone looking for delicious food, outstanding service and great customer service.
