We got so many compliments on the food from Melons as the best food they’ve had at a wedding hands down. People raved about both the food and drink all night. The staff were so pro...
fessional and sweet. They went the extra mile to make sure we had bites to eat during our brief moments between hosting our loved ones. Working with them on finalizing the menu was also great. Sheldon and his staff are so detail oriented & were also able to whip up some custom specialty drinks that weren’t on the sample menu that our guests loved.
Melon's catered our wedding in SF in June. They were terrific. They were easy to communicate with. We wanted the food to reflect both Indian and Western cultures. They were able to...
put together a menu which included both. They were very accommodating with food and wine tastings. They had everything ready by the time the event began. The food and service was very good. Their prices were reasonable relative to other caterers we contacted. There was a miscommunication regarding left over food, but Melon's made it right. We were very happy with them and would use them again if the need arises.
I cannot recommend Melons enough, especially to people who need to serve a variety of food from different cuisines. My husband is half Greek and half Indian; and I am Chinese. We w...
anted food at our wedding that reflected our cultures (and our favorite foods). We received catering contracts from several caterers, but Melon's was the only one where we really felt like they had worked with our ideas. Chef Stephen told me at the first call outright that he couldn't do authentic, but he could make delicious food. He was right -- and all my guests (most of whom dislike fusion) were super pleased. People literally raved to me first about the food of all the things about my wedding, especially the duck and the baklava.
2022 was a crazy year for weddings, and Melons was super busy and a bit slow in responding through the first half of that until the summer. So just be aware of that when you work with this vendor. We booked them without a tasting and pleased at our tasting to discover that we had chosen well. (And were again very pleased at our wedding when the food was exactly as it was at the tasting, except they had taken into account our feedback as well so it was even better!) Finally, the servers were all kind and so courteous and happy for us on the day of. The only sad thing is that I can't eat my wedding food again, to be honest.
Food was excellent. Our guests loved it! Service was great on the day of our wedding. The Maitre D, Servers, and Bartenders were on their A-game and pleasant to interact with. They...
even ensured that we had hors d'oeuvres at the sweetheart table before we sat down and kept the food coming so we could actually eat at our wedding. Negative: communication leading up to the wedding was lacking and we had to go on faith and their reputation that everything would be correct on the day of.
Wow! Melon's Catering was the best thing about our wedding. With all the changes we went through due to the pandemic, I was SO happy to have Melon's as our caterer. Ann helped us t...
hrough the entire process start to finish, and she really knows her stuff. They even were able to source a cigar roller 2 weeks before the event which was a HUGE hit! Our guests are STILL talking about how amazing all the food was and that it was the best food they have had at a wedding! The food, their professionalism, and their attention to detail makes them the best in the business. I can't thank them enough!
Fantastic! Our guests raved about the food. The presentation was incredible and it tasted so good. Sheldon and Ella worked tirelessly with us to get a menu that was a lower price. ...
We opted for chicken and salmon as our mains and had many vegan/vegetarian options for our guests. They really were so good. Ella is a fantastic communicator. From day 1 I just knew we could trust them with our day and we were right! Melon's is wonderful! Cannot recommend them more. We spoke with many other companies. They allowed us to use an outside rentals company that had very affordable prices for our rentals. It all went so smooth!
Melon's is one of the best caters by far!!! Their food and service was outstanding. People still can't stop talking about the food.
Melons is 5 star restaurant quality combined with the ability to execute a banquet-sized event! Shannon is the initial contact with the client and she responds to emails seemingly...
as fast as you cant write them...exactly what you want when the caterer is your largest wedding expense! Their organization, orchestration, wonderful staff...are everything you could want. The food at our wedding was absolutely perfect and we had many positive comments during and after the wedding from our guests. They employ skilled chefs that work with you to develop the menu and then execute the meals during your event. The attention to detail was amazing! There was never an empty glass, line for food or hors d'oeuvres. The other remarkable thing is that their staff absolutely blends seamlessly into the event - everything was taken care of and the staff was transparent in their operation. I suspect that they are probably one of the top gourmet catering services in the Bay Area. Highly recommended and would hire them again!
I decided to go w/ Melon's as recommended by my event coordinators at Terra Gallery. We had our tasting and I was blown away. We were going for an Asian fusion menu and they knoc...
ked it out of the park. The chef was very accommodating to any changes or small tweeks that we requested. My guests are still raving about the food today. The food itself definitely deserves 5 stars, but the catering service I'll give a 3 since they really took a while bringing out the food. After each plate I kept looking around to see what the hold up was and it really delayed my schedule of events at my wedding. It would be nice if things were seamless but there was significant time that passed between courses. That was the only aspect of my wedding that I thought was stressful and you really don't want to stress at your wedding if at all possible.
