Contemporary Catering

amazing taste, said that the meal was one of the best he’d ever had in his life. Rob spent an afternoon with my wife and I and created a whole menu based on our different upbringings, culture, (Filipino, British, but also Southern/ Virginia), and was able to create an original and delectable meal, that somehow told our story, and was presented exactly to fit in with our elegant/rustic theme. They truly went all out with the details, and our experience and the experience of our guests both with the food, AND (and it’s important) the Service, was truly seamless. They helped to make it so that all we and our guests had to do was enjoy our day. Weddings are difficult enough - contemporary catering can take a lot of pressure off, while bringing a mind blowing food experience to your wedding. Rob was also instrumental in helping us put together, and communicate with the rest of our vendor team. We couldn’t recommend them higher.

ely close to that. We did a tasting prior to the wedding and had the opportunity to meet the chef. Aside from everyone being super amazing, easy to work with, and personable, the food is FANTASTIC. I felt like I was eating at a proper California farm to table style restaurant. Let's just say, my father raises his own cattle for beef to eat and even HE was impressed. Bravo, well done, I wouldn't even bother looking for another caterer in LA. Book them now and thank me later!

ng weekend and Rob, Rachel, and, of course, Chef Nate, were there for us every step of the way. First, the food: It is 5-stars, no joke. I am a “foodie” and a bit of a self-admitted food snob. Honestly, I would drive an hour daily to Encino to eat in their test kitchen 7 days a week if they would let me. Even now, three weeks after our wedding, our guests continue to rave to me about the food (pro tip: you NEED to serve the mini chicken and waffles appetizer). Trust me when I tell you that their execution was flawless and the quality was exquisite. Second, the people: You will not find a more invested, passionate, and sincere team of individuals who love what they do and are so good at it. They are unbelievably responsive, overly generous with their time, extremely attentive to detail and endlessly patient. Without a doubt, we can say that thanks to Contemporary our wedding day was perfect and we are so grateful to everyone on the team. Rob and his team provided so much more value than I ever thought possible. We will ALWAYS refer Contemporary to our friends, families, and loved ones in need of wedding catering and, personally, we can’t wait to work with them again to cater other events in our future! Thank you, yet again, Rob, Rachel, and Chef Nate!

retained Contemporary to provide the catering for all three days. They knocked it out of the park. First, Rob was simply a joy to deal with every step of the way. Weddings can be extremely stressful. Our wedding would have been a pressure cooker were not for Rob. He called us at home to make sure everything was going smoothly. He introduced us to our flower vendor. He took an interest in our wedding and made us feel like we were the most important people on earth. It was incredible to deal with someone we trusted, someone who at all times acted with the utmost of honesty and integrity. It was like dealing with an old friend (even though we just met). Second, the food was absolutely sublime. Chef Nate took an active role in helping to plan our menu. He offered creative input and generated new ideas for dishes he had never prepared before. And Chef Nate really can do it all. Contemporary handmade the tortillas for our rehearsal dinner. We had a floating burrata bar with an incredible charcuterie selection as wedding appetizers. Chef Nate handmade ravioli for the vegetarians and served perfectly prepared tri-tip for the carnivores. Virtually everyone I spoke with said that this was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Rob and Chef Nate played a very special role in the most important day of our lives. It simply would not have been the same without them. We cannot wait to use Contemporary for our next event (hopefully, a baby shower in the near future). I recommend Contemporary without reservation.
