I found out about Westwood Catering because Randy and his team had previously worked at the venue we chose. I did not have a wedding planner and the venue needed a day of coordinat...

or, and Randy’s catering provides event coordinator with his services so I was able to easily add on a day of coordinator from his team, and everyone did an above and beyond job! The whole Westwood Catering team was professional, well organized, and made the whole day run smoothly. They exceeded my expectations for setting up my table decorations, for being flexible and experienced with managing timing, the service was great (we did plated dinners), the food was great, and I heard no complaints and many compliments from the guests. Randy’s organization, professionalism, and relaxed attitude, topped off with having tasty food made me so happy we chose Westwood Catering for our wedding! Randy is so personable and knowledgeable with lots of wedding experience, and very easy to work with. My goal was to have a wedding with as minimal stress as possible. I kept things simple and wanted to focus on a good experience for my guests. It all went by so fast, and I am still amazed how smoothly everything went thanks to Randy and his team.

From our initial conversation, to our tasting, Randy was extremely communicative in helping plan all our catering and bar needs for our wedding. They are professional, they are att...

entive, and you can tell they care about the work they are doing and the food they are putting out for you. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food and signature cocktails were. My husband is a strict vegetarian and Randy provided a wonderful selection of vegetarian/vegan options (along with meat and fish!) to serve at our wedding. We cannot sing enough praises for him and his team!

Westwood was a preferred vendor at the O’Donnell house. We had great communication with them prior to our tasting and had an excellent tasting. On our wedding day, we were served a...

totally different type of chicken. I was shocked and upset but didn’t want to say something at that moment — it was our wedding day lol. I emailed Randy once back from our honeymoon and informed him that we were disappointed that he did not serve us what we had picked out and had printed on our menus. His response blew me away. He told us he made the same thing we had at our tasting and that he’s been making it since 1989 so he would know. We tasted Parmesan crusted chicken with a red pepper cream sauce. He served us what looked like boiled chicken maybe slightly pan fried for a second or so with some kind of very light colored sauce (and not a lot of it). Anyone with eyeballs knows the difference between Parmesan crusted and regular plain chicken. He never responded again after I replied to the email. What a complete bummer to have paid 11,000 for food we didn’t want or like and for the company not even to acknowledge it. People keep asking how the wedding was and I can’t help but to respond “everything was perfect except the caterer served the wrong food” Hope he’s happy with his 11K knowing he will forever be the only negative part of my wedding!!

Randy and his staff catered our wedding on Feb 13th in the Coachella valley and WOW. Beginning to end, Randy made the experience easy and fun as we selected our BBQ menu and place ...

settings. The food was INCREDIBLE - only matched by the quality of the service. We had about 110 people in attendance, and all were happily fed + full at the end of the night. Thank you Randy and team!

Randy was amazing! He met with us several times to get us exactly what we wanted for our Persian/American menu and was able to be creative and modify the menu to meet our budget. T...

I was originally discouraged looking for caterers in the valley. I thought I was going to have to compromise the quality or win the lotto to get quality, classy food for my wedding...

. Then I found Catering by Westwood. It’s been about 3 weeks since we got married and I am STILL hearing from my guests about how amazing the food was that Randy’s team prepared for us. Somehow they managed to perfectly cook each of my 150 guest’s Filet Mignon in the car port at our wedding house. My dad and husband are still trying to figure that out! From my initial conversation, to our tasting, to the day before my wedding when Randy (who was not my event planner) offered to do a walk through to ease my mind- the customer service has been unparalleled. I cannot sing enough praises for him and his team. They are professional, they are seasoned, and you can tell they care about the work they are doing and the food they are putting out for you. As they say, the three things people remember about a wedding are the food, the booze and the music. Do yourself a favor and put Westwood in charge of the first (and second!) You and your guests will be so happy you did!
