Great food and a breeze to work with. They were very familiar with my venue and coordinator. We did dinner, dessert bar, and late night bites with them. They provide an abundance o...
f food, our guests couldn't believe the constant supply of food. Their display of food is beautiful too. The only room for improvement is just their communication, always friendly but some things were unclear or wish we had known. For example, our tasting was stone cold, which was fine they told us how to heat it, but weren't expecting it and felt our reheating didn't go well lol. But day of food was great, mashed potatoes amazing!
Absolutely would hire Maddilicious again for all future events! They were very responsive over the entire year of planning, and their service was spectacular. They decorated the fo...
od tables so beautifully and cohesive to our wedding decor. they also provided the labor for our reception flip, helped with the cake settings even though not in their scope, and saved the day with their drink and food stations at cocktail hour when the bartenders were late.
Lastly, the food was delicious.
I recommend Maddie and Jessica to all couples.
My now husband and I chose to go forward with a backyard elopement in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. I couldn’t have done the wedding day without Chip and Jessica, and the ...
entire team at Maddilicious.
Being a wedding planner myself, I had a really hard time letting go of control on my big day. With having a backyard celebration, I had to heavily rely on my vendors to bring my vision to a reality. Jessica took on the roll of coordinator, caterer, and friend. Knowing they were there left me such peace on a very stressful day.
The food was of course incredible. Everyone left so full. Having Maddilicious as your caterer is truly like going to Grandma’s house for dinner. No one leaves hungry.
The accommodations they made to make sure my family was safe and comfortable was truly above and beyond. With them there, no one was worrying about the virus.
I honestly cannot say enough good things about the team from Maddilicious. I truly love them and will continue to use them for future events as long as they will deal with this slightly high maintenance client.
The food was excellent and there was so much food. Staff was friendly and courteous from start to finish and also very accommodating. Choosing Maddilicious Catering to cater my wed...
ding was one of the best and easiest choices I had to make.
I've worked with Maddilicious as a wedding coordinator for years. They did the catering for my wedding and I loved them for so many reasons. They provided all the glassware, silver...
ware, plates and napkins so I did not have to go through more rental companies. Their appetizers are the best that I've had. The staff that they have are so friendly and professional. I'd recommend for sure! Weddings can be stressful, but having a caterer that understands that, they truly make it easier for you. They have tons of experience and can be trusted with the biggest day of your life!
My husband and I got married in September 2019, and had our reception at the California Citrus State Park. When we chose the venue we looked into catering and the moment we came ac...
ross Maddilicious Catering, we were sold. The food was incredible!!!
My husband and I come from different cultures, so we wanted to pick a menu that would be appetizing for both families, and it surely was! My favorite item was a delicious crostini that we offered as an appetizer. Jessica made sure to save my husband and I a plate, since we were not around when they were served. They were always 3 steps ahead of us in the best way! They knew exactly what we needed even when we didn't know.
Jessica was very helpful with our menu and decor. When our baker failed to cut our cake, Maddie and her team took over.
It was also very valuable to get to have a tasting with a lot of options! It helped us make the best decision.
I am beyond happy to have had our wedding catered by Maddilicious, and we could see them catering other life events!
Booking a caterer for our wedding was initially a scary process. We wanted to make sure we didnt have the standard boring and tasteless food that weddings are typically infamous fo...
r, and we didnt want to break the bank. When we came across Maddilicious, we had found the answer to our prayers! We were able to book a tasting, which included several options to try from appetizers, main courses, salads, and more. They gave us a beautifully detailed information packet describing options for our personalized menu and other essential bits of paperwork, timeline, etc. We were able to choose from many many delicious options for our wedding menu, and we were even told by Maddilicious that they could create custom meals for us if we did not find anything suitable. They made everything so easy! The day of our wedding was absolutely beautiful and hassle-free. The charcuterie table that they put together during cocktail hour was one of the main things our guests fawned over, even several weeks after our wedding. The package we got included everything we could've needed, and they were very accommodating and customized our needs as things came up closer to the wedding date. One of my favorite things was that they served the buffet dinner so that portions weren't wasted and we didnt spend needless money on extra food. If we had any questions we were able to email them directly or go down to their restaurant and they responded right away. We also found our cake baker, Viviane, who is their in-house dessert specialist. She was divine and we ended up ordering a dessert table full of her confections, along with our standard cake. The whole experience was spectacular, I really can't say enough. If we had to do it again, we would choose Maddilicious!
From the very beginning of our journey with Maddilicious Catering we knew we were in good hands. It was important to us that none of our guests went home hungry from the wedding an...
d that was no problem at all! They were easily able to accommodate our vegan and little guests too. If you want a vendor you can trust these are your girls! We got to customize the menu, they were professional throughout, and were great with communication. 100% we would choose Maddilicious again and again.
