Elisa's Catering

ommodating, very experienced, and his food is great! We were looking for a caterer who could create a family-style Asian-inspired menu and Elisa's Catering was one of the options stood out to us for their sample dishes on their website, customizability, and the reasonable quote. After exchanging emails and a couple phone calls with Juan to confirm our tasting menu, we had a tasting and really enjoyed everything. He has a great eye for presentation, he explained all the dishes well and took all our feedback into account. We loved the pork belly appetizer so much, we turned it into an entreé so we could enjoy more of it! In between our tasting and the wedding day, we got in touch with their preferred event rental company to pick out our linens, dishes, utensils, etc. and Juan handled the rest of the coordination. We were able to adjust the items on our original invoice, like adding a water station, a hot water carafe for our late night DIY instant ramen bar, and having apps served down near the ceremony space instead of the bar area as originally planned to cater to a better guest experience. Juan was gracious and patient through it all. We also really appreciated that he's not out to nickel and dime you and there aren't any hidden charges with him. He's genuinely here to make sure him and his catering team can help make your event the best! On the wedding day, everything seemed to run smoothly and all the team members we spoke to were so friendly. The staff made sure to serve me and my husband first and came back to check if we needed anything. We got so many compliments from our guests raving about the food throughout the day! People especially loved the pork belly and the ahi tuna cone appetizer. At the end of the night, we were given a couple trays of leftovers - a service that not all other caterers provided. We really appreciated this to avoid food waste. Overall, we loved having Elisa's Catering as our food vendor and appreciate them so much!

he food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was a hit with our guests, and we received countless compliments on the flavors and presentation. Chef Juan, in particular, was a delight to work with. He was incredibly kind and accommodating, making sure all our specific requests were met. He even went out of his way to help us with custom rental requests, which made the entire process so much smoother. The service staff also deserves a special mention. They were wonderfully nice, attentive, and efficient. Throughout the event, they made sure everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to enjoy our special day without any worries. Overall, we highly recommend Elisa's Catering. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and fantastic food made our wedding truly memorable. Thank you, Chef Juan, and the entire team at Elisa's Catering!

to detail and makes sure your day is perfect. Can't recommend them enough.

work. Our guests raved about the food and we had such a great experience working with Juan. 100% would recommend.

knowledgeable, friendly demeanor and has a way of calming any frustrated bride down. I would recommend Elisa's catering to any one planning any type of event.

with Juan at Elisa’s Catering! First off, the food was incredibly delicious and interesting! We did tastings at two different caterers, and Elisa’s Catering just blew the other place out of the water. It was delicious, inventive, had flavor and range! It wasn’t just the same old appetizers and options you see at most weddings, so if you’re looking for something exemplary, I highly recommend Elisa’s catering! I mean, it was all so good that over half of our final menu was things we hadn’t even actually tasted, and I was not worried at all! Their prices are extremely reasonable and they’re familiar with and have worked with a ton of the other local vendors for weddings. Many people I talked to at the wedding went out of their way to stress how amazing the food was, and we were overjoyed with the whole thing! Juan also worked with us to handle a somewhat atypical request for a tapas/small plates style buffet, and they all did a great job with it, despite it not being their usual approach. They were very flexible, accepting our requests, giving us advice, and getting it all done. And the buffet also LOOKED amazing! How do you make a huge pile of salad look SO appetizing? I don’t know, but they did it! We also, as requested, were able to take leftovers home, but the estimate of what we’d need was so good that despite there being plenty of food for everyone, we also didn’t have a huge amount of leftovers, which was fantastic! Beyond just the excellent quality of the food, everyone at Elisa’s was a joy to work with. They took care of all rentals, and were in-touch with us before the event, making sure that we had everything squared away. Emails are a good way to communicate, but if you’ve got a lot to chat about, I’d recommend just setting up a phone call. Juan is so kind and friendly and down-to-earth, I was completely comfortable talking on the phone (and I get nervous about phone calls generally). We had a relatively last-minute venue and schedule change due to an emergency building closure, and not only were they extremely helpful and flexible on this front, they even helped us decide on our new venue. Huge recommendation, great people, great food, great planning, 10/10!

our originally venue flooded, Juan worked with us and showed us an alternate venue which ended up being better than the original venue. The day of the wedding, Juan and his team of amazing staff ensured that everything went smoothly. Our guest with dietary restrictions enjoyed their alternative meal & the rest of our guest were raving about the food. We highly recommend Elisa’s Catering for your next event!

wedding comes up. Not only that, but Juan helped us when we had a last minute venue change and was super accommodating, patient, and extended his support in our time of need. Our venue flooded two weeks before our wedding and he reached out to other vendors to try to help us secure a new venue and was flexible and reassuring throughout that incredibly stressful process. Juan and his team took amazing care of us on our wedding day as well. We never wanted for anything because our cup was always full, plates were quickly offered to us, and they made sure to take excellent care of our guests as well. I can't recommend them enough! Thank you so much Juan!!

. He is so easy to work with, from the menu options, the pre wedding tasting, to the required rentals, everything was well managed. I would recommend Elisa's Catering to anyone who is getting married in the bay area!

ng went exactly as planned, on time and clean up. Definetly recommend them.

Juan and team are very professional. The food tasted amazing, and many of my guests complimented it. He was very flexible and easy to communicate with prior to the wedding. He went above and beyond for us, and I can't thank him enough. Even the winery hosting our event is going to recommend him to others! Well done!
