o raved about it during and after the wedding. In addition to the delicious food, the whole staff was so wonderful to work with. Throughout the entire planning process they were all extremely responsive, helpful, and kind.
If you're looking for a reliable and professional caterer for your wedding, look no further than LA Roots. Isaiah and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to ...
finish. Not only were they extremely organized and efficient, but they went above and beyond to make sure that every detail of our special day was taken care of.
Nikole, who handled all the front-office work for the team, was a true boss and made sure that everything ran smoothly. She was always available to answer any questions we had and made sure that we didn't miss a single beat. We truly couldn't have done it without her.
But let's talk about the food. Oh my goodness, the food! We received so many compliments from our guests on how delicious everything was. The menu options were diverse and catered to all dietary restrictions, which was much appreciated. The presentation was beautiful and the quality of the ingredients was top-notch.
Overall, we cannot recommend LA Roots enough. Isaiah and his team exceeded all of our expectations and were truly a highlight of our wedding. We're forever grateful to them for making our day so special. If you're considering hiring them for your event, do not hesitate! You will not be disappointed.
This review is quite overdue. We had Isaiah and the LA Roots team cater our wedding in May 2022 at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu. We did family style, as our venue was quite large and...
we had about 225 people to feed. For appetizers, the home run was definitely the short rib sliders. Everyone LOVED them! Everything leading up to the wedding including communication and the tasting was incredible. Isaiah went above and beyond with customer service and was always responsive, even through our countless menu changes and questions. We really enjoyed working with him and loved supporting his Agoura Hills business. Would definitely recommend and use him again!
We found LA Roots on one of the favorite vendor's list from our venue. After working with them, we can see why! Their food was hands-down some of the best food we could have ever h...
oped for, for our wedding. From lemonade, to hors d'evoures, to the main course itself, one of the biggest things I'll feel sad about from our wedding is how we can't experience their food again! Our guests made it known to us, at nearly every moment, that it was some of the best food they've had at a wedding, some said even 'ever.' Chicken and Waffle Bites, Vegan Taquitos, Chicken Potstickers, all of them just mouth-wateringly delicious. The braised short rib was so tender that you could eat it with a spoon, no knife needed. The Lemon Sage Salmon was perfect. Even the butter that came with the bread makes me hungry just thinking about it. Their service staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, and we were so happy that they had options for vendor and vegan meals for our vegetarian friends. Even when we were hit with news that we needed to shift our wedding by a day, Nikole and the rest of LA Roots was ready and willing to adapt with us to ensure that everything ran smooth. They even packed up any leftovers for us to take home and we've been chowing down for days and haven't gotten sick of it. Heck, even that short rib was still deliciously tender after being reheated. This caterer was a definite star of our wedding, and if you value good food, look no further. Get a tasting with them, look at their expansive menu and options, and feel confident that you've got food taken care of with LA Roots.
We absolutely loved LA Roots Catering! if we were to have another wedding, we would book them in a heartbeat. And here are my reasons:
- Isaiah and Nikole were super profession an...
d helpful from the start, the communication was top-notch- tasting was set up quickly, menu was finalized perfectly, and every detail were double checked prior to the wedding day to ensure smooth execution. This to me was as important as the food, and they delivered. The whole process was so easy and stress-free!
- THE FOOD. Food was one of the most important aspect of our wedding. We didnt want "wedding food". We wanted FOOD FOOD. After our taste testing we definitely knew they could handle great food for over 125 people. We did family style with Shrimp Creole and Braised Beef as our main dish. People loved the braised beef and I personally loved the Shrimp Creole. For cocktail hour, we got the tuna tartar, steak crostini, and vegan hush puppy. I LOVED the tuna tartar since the food tasting, and based on my sister (who is very picky) also LOVED the tuna tartar. Others also liked steak crostini saying it was very good steak quality.
- Service. LA Roots Catering brought their own service team for the wedding. And they were so nice. I know that since I am the bride they were probably nice to me, but multiple guests have told me that they were SO NICE to everyone. One guests really wanted to try the tuna tartar but those ran out pretty quick, so the waiters actually made sure this guest got some tuna tartar when they were out. This was a nice gesture that the guest made sure to tell me she felt very taken care of. And as a hostess, nothing makes me happier than knowing my guests were taken care of.
- Price. They had the most reasonable price out of maybe 8 vendors I reached out to. The value of what they offer was comparable by none other vendors. I thought their food looked and taste as good as some high end catering but with a much more reasonable price tag! And their team is also so much more efficient than other vendor team. They had about a team of 6 and took care of my entire guests no problem. I had vendors quoting me team of 10+... You can just tell Isaiah runs a good ship.
I've posted some photos to show that even their presentation was really nice. We opt out of the "cedar plank" placement because of the wedding overall look, but even then everything looked SOOO beautiful!!
So in conclusion... book them!
We had our wedding this past May in 2021 and let me just say, look no further. Isaiah and his team were incredible and professional throughout the entire process of our wedding pla...
nning. From the moment I reached out, the first phone call, to our tasting, Isaiah has always been up front, personable, and so genuine with every interaction. He was super patient with us throughout our covid wedding planning experience which was definitely appreciated. On top of it all, I had guests raving about the food to me multiple times after the wedding. Even my parents and family enjoyed the food and specifically called it out. To this day, I still have people tell me how great the food was. That almost never happens with wedding food, so LA Roots definitely knows what they are doing.
A few popular items we chose were the salmon, filet mignon pieces (SO good, according to my family/friends), garlic mashed potatoes, flat bread, ahi tuna + chip (yummy).
I would have to say that of all of our vendors, LA Roots would be #1, and our vendors were all pretty great. My only regret is waiting this long to leave a review. Thank you SO much for everything, Isaiah! You and your team are THE BEST and I wish you all well. - Cindy & Eric
LA Roots catered my recent micro-wedding and we couldn’t be happier with their food and service. From the very beginning, they were willing to work with us in developing the menus ...
that we wanted and make little tweaks and changes. Everyone raved about our Italian salad – who typically remembers a wedding salad? – and our fried sage and mushroom pasta course, which was the absolute hit of the night. Our chicken, beef, and fish entrees were also delicious, and the bread and butter were plentiful. We also had LA Roots do drop-and-go sandwich and salad boxes for the day of the wedding, as well as brunch the next day. The food was extremely tasty, large quantities, and again, the service was fantastic!

Working with Isaiah was the best wedding decision I made besides marrying my husba...
nd! You will get so many compliments on your food but best of all he felt like a big brother. Isaiah is kind, honest and caring besides being a bad ass chef. Originally we were going to have a vineyard wedding with dinner served family style. We changed our venue to a beautiful ocean front Malibu home so I decided to elevate the event by serving my guests a plated dinner. Isaiah didn't flinch when I told him about the venue change. It was so easy to coordinate a time for him to do a walk through the new venue. He is also very honest and will tell what works or doesn't work in a nice way. They have a menu of appetizers, sides and entree options for you to create your wedding menu; however, I appreciated that I was able to tweak a dish without push back. I am not a fan of curry so Isaiah changed the curry couscous to a lemon with red peppers couscous (tasted amazing). Side note, I asked Isaiah to wrap my dinner since I was too busy to eat, so I ate my wedding plate 3 days later and was so delicious!!!!! Since were staying at our venue for a week, LA Roots wrapped up any left over food for us in the fridge. We used the left over asparagus as a pizza topping.
We got married in June at Epona Estate in Thousand Oaks and could not recommend Isaiah and LA Roots more. From the very first meeting/tasting, we knew the food at our wedding was g...
oing to be excellent. Everyone has an idea of what wedding food is like, and at every turn Isaiah's food defied those preconceived notions. The planning process could not have been easier thanks in large part to Nikole who was always on the ball and made what could have been a very stressful planning experience into a very easy one. On our wedding day, the whole team was excellent, service was superb, food was AWESOME and they made sure that we were fed and happy. We got TONS of comments about how creative and delicious the food was. The turmeric chicken was AWESOME, the flank steak argentine was INCREDIBLE and all of the apps/sides were great compliments. No request was too big and no detail was overlooked. We work with lots of vendors in our line of work, and LA Roots is top notch. If we were to do it all over, LA Roots would be our first call. We can't speak highly enough about their food, service, and most importantly the fact that they are genuinely good people. Thank you to Isaiah and Team for making our wedding perfect. We can't wait to work with you again on future events.
This is not wedding food, it's DELICIOUS food. When my fiancé and I went for our tasting, we knew before we left that they were the catering company we wanted. Their menu is unique...
with both bold and classic options. Their owner Isaiah, along with the whole staff is so great and easy to work with. We had so many people RAVING about our food for weeks after our wedding. The only negative is they are a little pricey, but they will be sure to have more than enough food for you and your guests-we did food stations and had people going back for seconds and thirds! Can not recommend them enough, worth the extra splurge!
Every plate at my wedding was practically licked clean. The food is such an important part of the wedding for your guests. L.A. Roots has the freshest, most delicious options. Isai...
ah and his staff are so professional and dedicated. My husband and I really wanted raviollis for our wedding because in the Italian culture, we need raviollis! Isaiah went searching everywhere, got the best ones for a great price.
LA Roots catered our outdoor wedding in Agoura Hills in August 2018, and they were easily one of the highlights of our wedding. What we loved about what they offered is that everyt...
hing was a unique spin on a classic, with great combinations of spices, sauces; you can tell they have creative fun with what they serve. But, they retain the classy tradition that you'd want at weddings, which was important to us.
The best review I can give is that NUMEROUS guests reached out to us after the wedding to say that the food was "the best wedding food they've ever had". And this was not just coming from one type of person... This was from my 20-something-year-old friends, 50-something aunts and uncles ranging from Ohio to Seattle to Los Angeles. Everyone went crazy for the appetizers during cocktail hour and the reception dinner.
Process-wise, Isaiah and his team were kind and extremely accommodating. We had our food tasting about 8-months before our wedding, where they made their schedules work to host us when my mother was in town from out-of-state. We got to try so many amazing dishes and then had a phone call afterward to craft our decisions.
The team showed up, set up, and were extremely prepared and professional for the wedding. Two of the servers 'presented' us with our food, so you feel very special as the bride and groom. The presentation of all food, for everyone, was unique in that they serve the food on custom wooden slates with "LA ROOTS" branded on the corner. The presentation gives the food a farm to table vibe, but again, still very classy and worthy of a beautiful wedding.
I would recommend LA Roots to anyone for anything. They were awesome, creative, fun, flexible, and all around, a great experience. If I could give LA Roots a 12/10, I would. Thank you, LA Roots!
We were a little hesitant with LA Roots at first because our venue had originally worked with a different caterer, but ended up switching, and we were feeling a little uneasy about...
the change. HOWEVER, we were totally put at ease when we went in for our tasting! The food was so yummy, they were really accommodating regarding dietary restrictions and preferences, and helped us put together a menu we were excited to serve our guests.
Isaiah takes so much pride in what he does and what LA Roots as a catering company stands for. Thank you for delivery the goods on our special day.
We were married last week, ou...
tdoors on the hottest day of the year & though the circumstances were harsh, the outcome was excellent. The wedding guests had nothing but great things to say about the food. In fact, several people commented on the food being the best at a wedding they had ever experienced.
The pricing was fair, the service was excellent and my Wife & I felt confident of the outcome from our first meeting. If you want the best catering in the Los Angeles area for your wedding or event look no further. You will not be disappointed by Isaiah and the LA Roots team.
Thank you.

ng a tasting. We had a specific idea in mind when creating our wedding menu. We wanted it to be latin influenced and also vegan AND gluten free. The team at LA Roots didn't even bat an eye. That type of menu is atypical for them and the still rocked it! The food was out of this world good and even now, a few weeks later, everyone is STILL talking about how amazing the food was. Thank you so much to Isaiah and the team at LA Roots for having a helping hand in making our wedding day spectacular and unforgettable!
Isaiah and the LA Roots team delivered as promised. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We would rebook them in a heartbeat!!
My husband and I hired LA Roots for our wedding in September and could not have been happier with our decision. Isaiah was amazing and worked with us to customize a menu that was r...
ight for us and made sure we got the most out of our budget. We had many guests that told us it was the best wedding dinner they'd ever had! Isaiah is a great guy and his team was absolutely fantastic. We highly recommend the LA Roots team for your next event! And say yes to the black garlic mashed potatoes, they're incredible!
