My husband found Chef Pete Coleman through thumbtack and he had an impressive list of positive reviews! We reached out to them as we were planning our belated wedding reception for around 150 people. Pete's team was very responsive and made the...

mselves available via phone and email from the beginning. We really appreciated that they were straightforward with their pricing without added costs. We brought our family for our tasting and his sous chef Trevor did an amazing job of whipping up samples of our menu - our family walked away commenting on how good the food was! We weren't able to try all the dishes with our first tasting so they had us come back for a second tasting and Chef Pete made really helpful suggestions for our menu that we ended up going with. Pete is the type of guy who will get things done right and he definitely put us at ease for such a big and meaningful event. Our guests raved about the food and several guests said that it was some of the best food they've had at a wedding. Pete's team finished off the night with delicious churros and lemon curd. We can't thank them enough. Lauren, their director of sales, did a wonderful job with all the details, correspondence, and coordinating with our wedding coordinator. They are reliable, reasonably priced, and most importantly... all the food turned out amazing for 150 people, not an easy feat. We highly recommend Pete and his team for your event!

Pete Coleman is an amazing chef and we were so lucky to be able to have him cater our summer wedding! He also went on a JOURNEY with me and my (now) husband! We booked Pete in early 2020 for our Fall 2020 wedding. Pete was flexible and understa...

nding when we needed to reschedule our wedding due to COVID-19. We originally planned to do a big wedding, then switched to a family-only dinner, and then last minute were able to go back to our reopened venue and have a dinner for family and friends. Pete rolled with all the changes gracefully–his answer to anything I asked was always “yes, of course” or “yes, here is what we can do”. He was collaborative and communicative and he prepared INCREDIBLE food. We did the California BBQ with a plated salad and buffet dinner–guests raved about everything! The food was delicious, local, gorgeously plated, and everything Pete promised. We truly could not have asked for more; it was perfect. I made sure to eat a bite of everything, and the catering manager, Michael, saved me and my husband a bite of all of the appetizers. All of Pete’s staff–Michael and the servers–were also stand-outs. Fun, easy-going, thoughtful, and true pros - they noticed and corrected things on the go and before I noticed and worried! They truly made the day run smoothly and were authentically kind and caring people. There were one or two miscommunications - we thought we would receive leftovers and didn’t, and we asked for beer and wine to be served before the ceremony and that was missed by the bartender. I would just make sure to clarify if you want something, because Pete truly goes out of his way to provide everything you want and ask for, and we likely didn’t make it clear enough that those were priorities for us. I saw other reviews about Pete’s communication style and, while I see where some of that is coming from, I never felt like Pete was unreachable or distant. On the contrary–he would call me and clarify things or answer any questions I had. He is a true pro and I was never worried about the event because I knew he was handling everything (even if he didn’t explicitly walk me through all the steps he was taking to prepare). I appreciated his direct communication style and transparent pricing and policies. Pete is just a true professional and prepares great food–what more do you need?! I would hire him again in a heartbeat.
