Harvest Kitchen is the best in the business. We hired them for our wedding day, and they completely blew everyone away. The food was phenomenal! Guests are still commenting on it to this day. Their team was incredibly kind and professional, making the day run like a dream.
Honestly, if you're looking for a caterer that'll leave your taste buds dancing and your heart full, hit up Harvest Kitchen. They're the real deal; we couldn't be happier with our choice!
My wife and I got married in Palm Springs last month and had the pleasure of working with Harvest Kitchen for our catering. We could not recommend them more! First and foremost, the food was phenomenal and no fewer than a dozen guests said it was the best meal they've ever had at a wedding (particularly the mushroom risotto)!
In addition, the Harvest team was so helpful with building a tasty menu within our budget, working with our venue to meet their specific requirements, and perfectly executing on the day. We can't thank them enough!
We used Harvest Kitchen for our wedding and could not have been happier. The entire process, from choosing a menu and doing our tasting to service on our big day, was everything we hoped for. They also have so many options, including gluten free and vegan choices, which allowed us to create a perfect menu.
So many of our guests commented on how delicious the food was and their team went above and beyond to make our unique vision come to life. The chef even found me during our reception and made sure we loved it all! Top-notch through and through.
We had HK cater our wedding in Indio Dec 3, 2022. We had some very particular requirements, including high welfare pasture raised meat, and really wanted truly delicious, unique "non-wedding" food. HK met the challenge on all fronts and stayed flexible for us. We planned our wedding from another country so had to commit to the caterer and menu sight unseen, which was nervewracking, but when we were finally able to get to a tasting, it was PHENOMENAL.
They're not the cheapest, but people are still talking about the food from the wedding and that was our goal. It was our #1 priority. We did the cheese station (gorgeous), crispy chickpeas and seasonal bruschetta (amazing) as starters. Then we had the Mexican kale caesar, slow-cooked chicken thighs with salsa verde, pomegranate-glazed shortribs, squash with mole (OMG the mole) and polenta cakes as a base. It was all incredible and beautiful. We even had meat eaters go back for seconds to try the vegan fajita bowl because they loved their food so much. HK also nicely agreed to heat and handle some authentic pierogi we brought in from another vendor as our late night snack. We did buffet style but they had servers refilling waters and clearing plates, they were all very professional and friendly. Highly recommend if you want unforgettable food at your event.
Harvest Kitchen was contracted through my venue to cater my November wedding in Temecula. My fiancé and I had a delightful experience with their catering sales manager, Samantha. She is extremely knowledgeable and her staff is friendly and attentive. We were also impressed with their seasonal selections and beautiful presentation. Overall we were happy with the food, however, several guests mentioned their steak portions were very small and came out cold. At $140/plate (note this was rate contracted through the venue), I expect a filling portion. I recommend avoiding the flank steak if you’re doing a plated service.
Harvest Kitchen was the caterer of choice for our wedding and let me tell you, it did not disappoint in the slightest! We are just over 2 weeks post wedding and our guests still message us saying that it was the BEST wedding food they have ever had -and my husband and I could not agree more! Samantha is fantastic and so easy to work with! She made the process so smooth and we are just beyond happy with Harvest Kitchen and their staff as a whole!
Harvest Kitchen catered our wedding in May, and the food and experience was incredible. They put a delicious dinner menu together for us (fish and barbacoa tacos, black beans, spanish rice, and broccolini), and the appetizers were incredible too (ceviche, mojo shrimp, chips and guac). It was exactly what we were hoping for, all of our guests loved the food, and having the food truck at our wedding venue was fun and memorable. Samantha was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process; she was very responsive and flexible. We recommend Harvest Kitchen to anyone who is looking for a caterer for their wedding.
Harvest Kitchen was hands down amazing for our wedding! We can’t tell you how many of our guests raced about their food. The staff was amazing as well! We would highly recommend them for anyone else looking into a caterer for any event.
Our wedding was on March 14, 2020 and Harvest Kitchen came through with the food! Food was pretty important to us as we've been to so many weddings with typical wedding food and we really wanted the menu to stand out. We tried four different catering companies and knew right away Harvest Kitchen was the one. They use sustainable and local ingrediants and the flavors were amazing!! Their setup also went really well with our decor. Samantha was incredibly helpful through the process. We had a grazing table for cocktail hour and for dinner, we chose a salad, Mediterrnean pasta, golden mash, broccolini with Romesco sauce, braised beef, and herb chicken. Everything was served HOT (so important for weddings) and delicious. Got so many compliments from our guests. Highly recommend!
Top notch! My experience with Harvest Kitchen has been nothing short of fantastic. Samantha, the manager was professional and helpful. The head chef Sarah, put on a culinary experience for our tasting which left us undecided on all the choices to make for a menu because literally everything was AMAZING! We also didn’t bother trying out any other caterers because we knew the food was everything we wanted and more. I had a few experiences prior with this company and each time they excelled in consistency. Everything was always fresh, delicious, high quality well paired. This is not your run of the mill traditional wedding food by any means. I would use this caterer for all events in the future!!! Excellent!!!! Now, preparing a good tasting and delivering the same high quality food to 150 guests the day of a wedding are two different things. We knew we were dealing with professionals when they told us they would need to rent a special oven just to prepare the chicken and a deep fryer just for the brussels sprouts. When it came to the day of our wedding, they exceeded all expectations so much so, our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was. A few even asked for a second helping as well as recipes and cards for the company. The staff was friendly, professional and efficient. Food was delivered hot and to all guest at the table at the same time. The owner David, was even on site the day of our wedding and went as far as to help out with anything that was needed of him, whether it related to the catering or not. He helped the coordinator and the DJ with our grand entrance. The dessert station was absolutely spectacular and set up so beautifully. They also provided an infused water station at the ceremony site. And the coffee station was a huge hit with high quality coffee. I cannot day enough great things about this company. They were also very reasonable in cost for the quality and service provided. 20/10 rating!!!! This company goes above and beyond!
I am not really sure where to start with Harvest Kitchen... Oh wait I know, THEY ARE SIMPLY THE BEST! David, Samantha and the entire team are so professional from the start of the planning process to the very end of the wedding night. You really could not ask for a better catering team!
Now to the food, WOW! WOW! WOW! As a wedding planner, I just can't wait for dinner when I know Harvest Kitchen is the caterer. Braised Short Ribs, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Chicken! YUM!
My list can go on about how amazing Harvest Kitchen is but I will leave it at this, You should NOT pass up Harvest Kitchen for your next Event from Service, Food & Price point you just can't go wrong!
Harvest Kitchen is such an amazing caterer. They have some of the most delicious food and the consistency is across the board from 20 to 200 people. We cannot wait to work with this amazing team!
After doing a great deal of research online and a few tastings, my finance and I selected Harvest Kitchen as our caterer for our wedding. First of all, we were extremely impressed by the quality of the food at the tasting. Our coordinator, Samantha, did an excellent job presenting our menu selections. She also assisted in securing an equipment rental company and even met us at our venue on two separate occasions to help us determine how we wanted tables arranged and make sure we had everything we needed. On the day of the event, everything was set-up perfectly and the staff was extremely professional and friendly. Best of all, the food was outstanding. It tasted even better than it did when we did our initial tasting. I had 106 guests and they all raved about the food. I am still getting compliments from family and friends.
We both could not have been more pleased. I would highly recommend Harvest Kitchen Catering for your event. Samantha and the whole staff do a superb job.
Harvest Kitchen did an amazing job for my wedding. After I told them that my wedding theme was “southern peach” they came up with the perfect menu for me. They even incorporated peaches in!! So many of my guests raves about the appetizers and dinner. Harvest Kitchen is famous for their Brussels sprouts- my guests went crazy over them and some even went into the kitchen to beg the chef for the recipe! If I had an issue with anything it’s that my hubby and I didn’t get to have any apps because we were taking photos during cocktail hour. By the time we made it out there, they had run out (guests were literally placing themselves by the caterers entrance to snatch the apps). Everything went so smoothly that day- it was an amazing experience and I recommend Harvest Kitchen for any event!
The best food and service imaginable!
I don't write reviews often... but this food was worth taking the time to do so. It was hands-down, the best wedding food I have ever had. It was everything I love most about my favorite farm-to-table restaurant... locally sourced with care, fresh, and each plate felt like a 5 star gourmet meal. Not an easy ask for a wedding of close to 300 people out in nature, by the lake, in a olive orchard... but somehow Harvest Kitchen delivered.
Blown away also by David Holtze (the lead chef extraordinaire)... he was so present, kind, funny and infused the food with so much love you could not only taste it... you could feel it as each plate of food was served. Rare, brilliance...if you ever open a restaurant I want to be the first to know!
Where to begin??! :) Harvest Kitchen Catering was just AMAZING! From beginning to end my experience was perfect. I worked with Samantha who answered all my questions, worked with our budget, helped us create a delicious wedding menu, etc. (Our guests raved about the food we served at the wedding for days -- it's seriously that good! And, everything is organic and seasonally sourced (which personally mattered to me). Plus, the food truck was such a fun addition to our wedding reception!...Honestly, I could go on and on.)
All that to say, Harvest Kitchen was great to work with and served us amazing food on our wedding day! So, if you're in the market for a food vendor I highly recommend Harvest Kitchen -- you won't be disappointed!
We had Harvest Kitchen cater our wedding at Brick and we are so happy with how everything turned out! From the appetizers to the salad and main dish, all of the food tasted and looked amazing. Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding food they have ever tasted. We initially chose Harvest because they offered non-traditional wedding food that was delicious and set them apart from the other vendors we were considering. We had 3 appetizers (shrimp and grits, fried chicken in a pancake blanket, and a crostini topped with chickpea spread and a deep-fried brussel sprout leaf), a family style shared salad (citrus dressing on greens), braised beef topped with horseradish cream garnish, maple roasted brussel sprouts, and a vegetable root mash. My personal favorite is the brussel sprouts. They are to die for! On top of this, they were very responsive to our questions and accommodated both our adult and younger guests with food allergies
I feel like I'm usually pretty good with words, but I don't know if any thing I write will adequately describe how amazing Harvest Kitchen was. My wedding was two weeks ago and I still have people telling me that was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. And this is coming from a group of serious foodies. Honestly, this is food you would be thrilled to have at a hot restaurant. In addition to the delicious cuisine, they were so responsive and helpful with all my emails, and their staff were super professional and friendly day of. I feel like we hit the jackpot with this caterer. My only complaint was that, as the Bride, I had to go visit my guests table to table, and didn't get to sit and savor the food the way it deserved... Thank you Harvest Kitchen!
Amazing. Truly. I don't know why there aren't reviews yet on The Knot for Harvest Kitchen! My husband did the search for catering options because he's a foodie with high standards. Harvest Kitchen blew those standards away. Everyone from the vegans and vegetarians (I'm in this group) and the meat lovers (my husband is in that group) LOVED the food. RAVED about the food. People went out of there way to tell me that day and in the two months since that it was the best wedding food they had ever had.
