Country Garden Caterers

n making adjustments as things came up. She made great recommendations for rentals as well. The gold chiavari chairs were an upgrade she suggested and it made such a difference! She handled our food, bar and rentals which made it so easy. All of our guests raved about how delicious the food was and how friendly the catering staff and bartenders were. I absolutely recommend Country Garden Catering!

Heritage Museum of Orange County, which is where we got married (amazing venue btw!). Diane, who is the head honcho of Country Gardens is so personable and professional. Her main goal is to please her clients and meet their needs/wishes. Country Gardens is unique in the sense that you pretty much get to build your own menu. There are literally hundreds of options to choose from Italian to Mexican food and more. Not to mention that the food is absolutely FANTASTIC. We did Italian food for our wedding and it was so delicious! Perfectly made, served quickly and efficiently, and hot on the plate. Country Gardens also takes care of all rentals needed for the wedding. Again, many options tailored to your specific wedding look. We absolutely loved working with Diana and developing a relationship with her. She is such a hard worker and sure knows her stuff! I strongly recommend Country Garden Catering for any event!

ng needs. She even went above and beyond with a bit of advice. I’m overall very professional and great experience. Con: not to great with punctuality but the day of was perfect. They tend to overlap some appts but when she is with you you have all her attention.

food when we needed it, always had out glasses full and was so great with all of our guests. She followed the timeline perfectly and made us feel so special the entire night. The food was also amazing. We had the Mexican buffet and were not disappointed at all. Our guests raved about the entire experience, and a lot of that had to do with Diana and her team. We are so thankful!!

our guests loved the food, and so did we! All of the food was fantastic and at a great price. The staff is very friendly and professional. We highly recommend Country Garden Caterers!!!

process. She even helped me pick out linens (I am so glad I went with her color recommendations). The food at our wedding was delicious and we received so many compliments on our Mexican food buffet. The staff that worked our event was professional and went above and beyond to make our night perfect. They even assisted in putting out chargers that I personally bought and cleaned up the event space to perfection. I only have positive things to say about Country Garden Caterers. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a catering service.

ana Perkins was exceptional-she has been in the business for many years and her expertise and advice was incredibly helpful and beneficial to us. We love her! The food was the best wedding food that we have ever tasted before; our guests were going back for seconds and thirds! We kid you not! Thank you Diana for a wonderful wedding experience at your quaint adorable venue!

s so delicious, that beef brisket! Thanks to Patricia and her team for a beautiful reception.

had beautiful table settings, the gold rimmed dishes over gold chargers and gold silverware, it was breathtaking! Everyone went on and on about how good the dinner was and went back for 2nds and 3rds. We had the chicken parmigiana with pasta. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!!

est team we could have possible had. They are quick, professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. They go the extra mile. If you want to make sure you have delicious yet affordable food and drinks at your event then I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Diana with Country Garden Caterers.

en fantastic. The only thing that was less than stellar was we the ceremony upstairs was very tight, not a lot of room to maneuver down the aisle. If you want more than 100 people it boarders uncomfortable but still doable. Not necessarily a fault of the venue, it’s just a smaller space. I would recommend using this venue for your small wedding!

d Food was so delicious. I have gotten so many compliments on the food, the decoration and how nice all of her people were. Would definitely recommend them to every one. Love: Charly Coral

I really liked having everything in one venue because it made it so much easier to coordinate with all my other venders. Also for an extra free I was able to hire their people as my coordinator which was a great help as I was doing most the planning on my own. Everyone said the food was amazing and loved the decorations that both they and I provided. If your planning a smaller wedding (I had 85 guest, they can accommodate more) and want a more vintage unique vibe then this is the place for you.

our catering and venue search, but the food was so delicious!! The weeks leading up to the wedding I was having doubts about our buffet selection and wanted to change it to a two-entree plated meal. During our final meeting with Diana at CGC, she talked to us about why I wanted to change it and discussed the pricing. I'm SOOO glad she helped steer me back to my original buffet choice because not only did it save us money, but the food was just delicious! I had been debating over beef colorado and chile verde and I went on Diana's suggestion because we couldn't try either one leading up to the wedding. Seriously, don't ever doubt this woman because she knows her stuff! The chile verde was so good, as was everything else! We received a lot of compliments on all of the food and how wonderful everything looked, which Diana helped us out on the rentals as well. Again, I took her suggestions as far as how to mix and match the colors so it wouldn't be overdone and come day of, everything was perfect. Thank you Diana and all of the CGC staff for your amazing work and for helping to make our day so wonderful!

cor and setup of everything I brought was beautiful. It was everything I wanted. Also, beautiful and cozy venue, great food, and totally affordable.

, and Diana was phenomenal!! Every meeting we had with Diana was so helpful. She goes above and beyond to make the bride feel at ease, and ensure every detail is perfect. She truly has the eye for this job. The day of the wedding, Diana and the whole Country Gardens team worked incredibly hard to make sure everything went perfectly. All of our guests raved about the food (we had BBQ with brisket and garlic mashed potatoes - YUM!). Since it was a hot summer day, there were plenty of water stations set up for our guests. All of the staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. We can't thank the entire team enough for making our special day that much more amazing! You guys truly are the best! If you are looking for the best in the business, you MUST have Diana Perkins for your wedding. She is absolutely amazing. Her decorations are beautiful, and she bends over backwards to make sure she meets the bride's vision. She has so many extra decorations available, and she even surprised me my bringing even more gorgeous decorations the day of my wedding to make it that much more beautiful. I do not have enough kind words to say about Diana. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything!

ay of the wedding and for weeks to come. Everyone left full and happy! We are so grateful!

for the wedding day. The set up was beautiful and the food was so good. It was so nice knowing that I didn't have to worry about one thing because Diana had it all covered. I would recommend working with her for a wedding or any event where you might need a caterer/coordinator.

nly does this catering company have an amazing leader but everything that came with it far exceeded our expectations. They have so many decor options to fit your idea so perfectly and they make sure to make your day unique to you. We had an open bar and the alcohol choices were awesome and the bartenders were so professional and very good at that they do. We had the chicken Kiev and it was delectable. The garlic mashed potatoes was a perfect side and the Sonoma salad still has my mouth watering every time I think about it. The catering was very reasonable and was so nice to be a one stop shop for everything we needed. Diana was on top of things and her friendly and caring personality mixed with a touch of sass was an absolute pleasure to work with. Wedding planning is stressful but our catering was not. I highly recommend country garden catering with 5 stars!

e fact they were on that list because they are great. Diana, although very busy, was attentive to what we needed and made it happen for us. If we needed an adjustment to our contract or had to pay a less than conventional way, she made it work for us. Like I said she was very busy so sometimes we had to remind her, but when wedding season comes around only having to reminded once or twice, I feel is really good! The food was a huge hit with our family and friends. The Chicken Picatta and mashed potatoes were literally some of the best food I have ever had. The cake was epic! It looked like pillow prior to throwing it in my wife’s face, but still was made to the expectations of my wife and I. In addition to the food the open bar was great. Even though we drank out the bar, they were on it with monitoring the service and making sure everyone was safe. All in all, Country Gardens really created an environment along with the Heritage Museum of OC to make our wedding extremely memorable and exciting. I can see why Country Gardens is on that short list for caterers. Things that could have been better was the communication. Whenever we went to Country Gardens Diana was seeing 3 to 4 other couples. It was always rushed and hard to get in times. I felt like maybe she needed an assistant to help take on all the couples. She is extremely knowledgeable in the wedding industry. The prices weren't bad but locking in our contract a little over a year and half we had additional fees like a Bar fee for $200. This was not expected and when we were getting ready to lock int eh 30 days contract before our wedding there was this fee added on. Her responses was "CA requires us to charge this because of liquor." We did not change our liquor package. The package was the same from the beginning but this fee was not. Overall, the place was decorated, the staff was great but the hidden fees i could do without.

tizers were!! I highly recommend the beef brisket! If you get to work with Diana Perkins, you are really in for a treat! Diana is absolutely the best! very calming, very attentive, very reliable! The entire preparation up to the wedding was a breeze, fun, and easy! She answered every question and worry promptly and very willing to help! The day of, she was amazing! She made my day be the best day ever!

terers. The venue was beautiful and the food was delicious! Patricia was so helpful and took amazing care of us; walking us through every step of the planning process. Our guests complimented us all night on the beautiful venue and wonderful food. Many heartfelt thanks to Patricia and her staff!

n't stop raving about the food, and I can't thank you enough for going out of your way to make this day special for our family. Your lead manager, Chris, was wonderful and so patient with us. Our wedding ceremony started an hour late, and Country Gardens was patient and willing and able to work later than expected. They went with the flow provided exceptional service. I have worked with many caterers, but County Gardens, you continue to blow me away. Patricia was my main contact, and she is AMAZING. Always very professional, so thorough, detailed, and available when I call. Patricia is always there to answer my questions, and work around my request. THANK YOU Patricia, your wonderful! I truly appreciate your time and support. Rita Elias

Going through this process with her has taken so much stress off of my family knowing we are going to be taken care of come the day of the wedding. We are still in planning mode but working with her has been my favorite. She offers new suggestions to help things flow and promptly answers any questions I have. And to top it all off the food is great. I recommend Diana to all of my friends and I know she will be handling my little sisters wedding when it is her turn to get married.

oordinator and let me tell you, BEST decision of my life. She literally does it all and makes your day so smooth and beautiful. She has so much experience in this industry, that she was there for me with any questions I had. They serve such amazing food with great quality. Usually people say wedding food is just ok, I have never had so many people tell me my dinner at my wedding was so delicious! Her and her staff provide nothing but over the top service! Her facility also hosts some awesome events! I think they hit everything on the checklist. The price is amazing for the quality you get, her staff is so professional and amazing. I can't even say enough how easy she made my life. I could write a novel on the joyful experience I had with this team. Thanks Diana and Country Garden Caterers!!

Country Garden Caterers. We were married at Giracci Vineyards, a location with lots of logistics to figure out, and she handled each one of them flawlessly. She's a ball of energy that helps get everything done and everyone in the right place on your big day, and I could not recommend her services more! On top of that, the food/drinks were delicious, and the rest of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly throughout the entire day. Thanks a million!

iful wedding! We booked Diana as our wedding coordinator and WOW! She was amazing from the first day we met her until now, 3 months after our wedding! We are so grateful for her passion and hard work! She really worked with us and made us her priority every time we met with her. I have recommended this caterer to all my friends and especially Diana! Our day was the best day ever and it wouldn't have been that way without the great staff at Country Gardens and DIANA!

le, and always very prompt in her responses. The food was delicious and the staff was very professional at our reception. This company is definitely a great value. Everything went so smoothly. Thanks a million!

s company for us so that we didn't have to. The set up was beautiful and everything was perfectly executed the day of. The best decision we made was hiring Diana to also be our day-of coordinator. I am used to being the one who always plans and executes details, so I was nervous to leave things in someone else's hands. I had nothing to worry about. Diana made sure everything was where I wanted it, guarded our sweetheart table so that we got to eat dinner, always made sure we each had a drink in hand, and made sure the whole reception flowed smoothly. Everyone raved about the food, and guests who are also in the wedding industry all complimented Diana for being so on top of things. She's the best around.

ntry Garden! The hardest part was deciding between what food to choose after trying so much because it was all SO SO SO good!!! If you're not sure which caterers to choose at least set up a tasting to try it yourself! I promise you won't be let down! They deserve more than 5 stars for their work!!!

g day she was very organized which made everything flow smoothly during the reception. The food and drinks were delicious and everyone enjoyed it!

menu. We were special and wanted our wedding to be the same. We got it. They worked with their bakers to provide us the armadillo cake, we wanted, as well as the pan dulces. Service was incredible, my husband and I were served a full plate of food and our drink glasses were never empty!. The room set-up, table linens, everything was more than we expected. We would recommend Country Garden Caterers to EVERYBODY. Thank you!

for a wedding caterer. They were very helpful and always made sure to have all my needs met. It was nice having them deal directly with signature party rentals so I only had to choose what I wanted.

E and BEYOND, and for making our wedding dreams come true! You are so on TOP OF IT while maintaining such sweet charismatic composure. You gracefully balance the personas of a lioness and of a hummingbird. There is no doubt our friendship will continue as you have made a lasting impression on us and on our families. There is also no doubt that we will be sure to promote and highly recommend you and your team! We love you Diana! Thank you and God bless! Adrian Joseph Bravo & Amber Laugeson

incredible and the cost is even better. We had the chicken marsala with mashed potatoes and veggies for dinner and an artichoke dip and pulled pork sliders for our appetizers. We also ordered our cake through CGC and it turned out beautiful. And it tasted even better than it looked. We also decided to hire Diana as our day of coordinator. If you are like us and have decided to forgo the wedding planner, I would HIGHLY recommend you to hire Diana for your wedding day. She made sure everything went perfectly (and if anything didn't, I never knew about it). We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Diana definitely went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was everything and more.

ana for advice on so many topics and Diana always gave us good candid advice. She will never try to sell you on something that she doesn't believe in -- and this is the groom talking, haha! On our wedding day we had nothing to worry about and our entire setup looked amazing. Diana took care of everything! She did so much in the background on a warm 90 degree day. We paid a little bit extra to have prime rib and we were so happy that we did, it tasted great and our guests couldn't stop talking about it. Diana - thanks for everything from the bottom of our hearts. You made our day exceptionally special.

with them! I worked mainly with Diana Perkins and her assistant Danielle. Diana is a Jack-of-all-trades. She was the head coordinator for catering, organized party rentals, AND was my day-of coordinator. Diana is very knowledgeable and good at what she does. She went above and beyond for me from day one. She treated me like family and took care of my husband and I on the day of like a mama bear. Diana broke down all the costs and explained everything to me. She worked hard to help make my reception beautiful while being super conscious and respectful of my budget. I was very particular with my numbers and she was patient each time we met, not pressuring me once to make a decision. She knew I had to go home to make my charts and excel sheets to do a cost analysis haha. When something was too expensive to do for my wedding, she was creative in trying to figure out alternatives. Her assistant, Danielle, is so bubbly and helpful, she was a joy to work with as well! The poor girl ran all around Heritage Museum looking for us for the grand entrance because our photographer/videographers whisked us away to a secluded trail for photos where we lost track of time. She brought us water and didn't make us feel bad for disappearing on everyone. Thank you, Country Garden Caterers! Diana, we can't thank you enough :). I also wanted to shoutout to another event coordinator there, I think his name is Andy (has an Australian accent?). I only met him once while waiting for Diana, but he was so nice and personable that it left a good impression on me.

till amazed with how perfectly our wedding turned out and how much Diana did behind the scenes to ensure that we didn’t have to worry about anything! We had our wedding at the Heritage Museum on 5/2/15 and was planning our wedding remotely from the Bay Area. Despite her busy schedule, Diana was great with corresponding through emails/calls and was so accommodating when we were in town to make sure our needs were met and questions were answered. She helped us to stay within our budget and was creative in making sure we got everything we wanted. All her recommendations for other vendors were great (DJ, photobooth, desserts). Diana is so easy to work with and was so flexible with helping with last minute changes and requests, all of which we are so thankful for! With all the anxiety and worries that can occur before the wedding, Diana gave me peace of mind through the entire process leading up to the wedding and of course, the wedding itself. I have never felt as pampered as I did that day! Our guests loved the food (we had prime rib and chicken masala) and felt that the wedding was so well run. Diana- you are so wonderful at what you and we both feel so fortunate to have you and your awesome staff make our wedding day perfect for us!

rdinator. Where do I start…to say that Diana went above and beyond to make our wedding planning and wedding day a breeze is an understatement. From the first time I met with Diana I felt like I was talking with a friend. and listened to everything we envisioned to help us choose the perfect venue. Diana is a very busy woman but we never felt neglected or like our questions were not answered. Each time we met, whether it was for a tasting or logistics she went over things in detail and if we had questions later we simply emailed her and had a response within 24hrs. A few days before the wedding Diana informed us that she was able to upgrade our chairs to Chivary chairs which made us so happy because it was a detail we really wanted but was out of our budget. Below are the reviews for Diana’s day of coordinator services and for Country Garden Caterers. Day of Coordinator: Diana and her assistant did an amazing job on our big day! Diana made sure we had nothing to worry about and because of this we were able to actually enjoy our day to the fullest. Our décor was perfectly placed and Diana did a wonderful job repurposing flowers used for our ceremony. She made sure we sat down to eat without interruptions and more importantly that we always had a drink in our hands! Diana even left a great impression on our family and guests; we heard nothing but nice comments from our guests in regards to their interactions with her. Country Garden Caterers: All the food we had during our tasting was delicious, and in the end we went with the chicken piccata, grilled vegetables and mashed potatoes. We also had a fruit spread and cheese/cracker spread during the cocktail hour. Everything was served buffet style and tasted great, our guests raved about the food as well as the service from all employees working that night. All in all we couldn't have asked for more. Till this day our guests comment on what a great time they had and how amazing everything looked. Thank you Diana, if it was not for all you did for us our wedding would have not been the same!

as I in a conundrum. Not only were we on a tight budget but we wanted great and ample food, an open bar, and excellent service too. Country Garden Caterers met all our needs and then some – several of our guests have praised us on how excellent food, drink, and service was. Specifics: Diana - she is a crazy busy woman but she always responded within 48 to emails and 24 hours to text or calls. She is very energetic, peppy and was great throughout the whole entire 18 month planning so much so I hired her as my day of coordinator (DOC). We were so grateful she was our DOC, she put up with my crazy, needy, entitled family and friends. As well as made sure we (bride and groom) were fed, well hydrated with vodka, and the day was on schedule. I was able to trust her judgment and expertise to let her take control on the day of and the wedding turned out amazing. If you are more OCD than me, just let Diana know and she will totally make accommodations. Sometimes you have to remind her more than once though. Food - cocktail (appetizers) hour, sit down dinner with prime rib or salmon. Bar - premium package for five hours and she let me bring my own pickles to go with the vodka! Ceremony and Reception – used signature rental via Diana and she handles the set up and clean up. Everything was provided by Country Garden Caterers except DJ, cake, photobooth, floral, photographer, videographer, wedding insurance, stationary, and venue & decor.
