I photographed a wedding that Krafted Culture catered in the Lake Arrowhead area. Not only was he and his staff so friendly and amazing...the food was EXCELLENT. As a wedding photographer, I eat A LOT of wedding food and let me tell you that this wasn't like the normal dinner every other weekend. The best part of all of this? The dinner was plant based. Everyone raved about it all night (even the die hard meat lovers). I wish they catered all the weddings I photograph!

"Literally The Best Wedding Food I've Ever Had." -Guest at our wedding If you are even thinking about booking Americano for your wedding, stop thinking and DO IT. Hiring them was single-handedly the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process. We knew we wanted our food to be a highlight, not an afterthought, and the Americano team delivered a culinary experience that was beyond our wildest dreams. Our guests are still raving about it weeks later! From our very first inquiry, their catering manager (Beni) and team were an absolute dream to work with. They were responsive, incredibly organized, and genuinely excited about creating a menu that felt personal to us. They took our vision and elevated it with creative ideas, turning the tasting into one of our favorite pre-wedding memories. They made the entire process feel completely seamless and stress-free. Now, let's talk about the food on the wedding day. Show-stopping. We had the burrata with prosciutto and fig jam for a starter, and people were losing their minds over how fresh and flavorful it was. For mains, the slow-braised short rib literally melted in your mouth, and the sea bass was cooked to absolute perfection. It wasn't just "good wedding food"—it was exceptional food, period. The presentation was stunning, the ingredients were top-tier, and everything was served hot and flawlessly. Multiple guests—including our pickiest family members—pulled us aside to say it was the most delicious and memorable meal they had ever had at a wedding. Americano didn't just cater our wedding; they created an unforgettable experience that became a core memory of our celebration. They are worth every single penny and then some for the impact they will have on your day. Book them. You will be so, so happy you did!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first contacted Chef John's Events & Catering, we were impressed by their prompt, complete and detailed communication style. They always offered helpful suggestions to ensure our wedding day was perfect. The quality and quantity of the food they provided was superior, and the value far exceeded the price. Chef Jeannette and her team were a pleasure to work with, as they accommodated guests with severe allergies and dietary requirements, ensuring a safe and delicious experience for everyone. Additionally, they left the kitchen area spotless after the event, despite catering the wedding at a friend's home. I had experienced Chef Jeannette's delicious food at several corporate events prior to my wedding, so I knew I wanted to use Chef John's Catering. They made the planning and preparation so much easier, and were willing to work with us on our budget and specific requests. We couldn't have been happier with their exceptional service and incredible food.

The quality of their work was top-tier, with flavorful dishes and an exceptional presentation. She catered my graduation party for 150 guests, and our plates were never empty and our cups were always filled. Scarlette, the owner, is fair and second to none in her field. I was thrilled with the value Bailey Rae Events provided and would highly recommend them to any one!!

JOLAS KITCHEN (AUTHENTIC AFRICAN FOOD)

  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves Goleta, CA for additional fees

We pamper your tastebuds with authentic African Foods. To us, it’s more than just food, it’s a brand. It’s THE JOLAS KITCHEN BRAND. We have created a brand, with some amazing loyalty. Our aim is to take you back to the streets of Lagos with the Jolasjollof, and if you have never been to Lagos you can enjoy what the Nigerian party Jollof tastes like. It’s cooked with parboiled rice in a mixture of carefully selected peppers to give you that authentic taste of Nigerian Jollof. Looking forward to bringing our flavors to your next event!

Jolas Kitchen catered at our wedding on December 27th. I cannot say enough good things about Chef Jola, she was so communicative, and made excellent recommendations and suggestions, which was so helpful to me as a first time bride who had never planned such a large event before. We were absolutely blown away by the presentation, and the care and attentiveness of chef Jola and her team. I have never worked with such thoughtful and kind caterers, they really thought of everything and made the night such a wonderful and stress free experience for us. The food was absolutely amazing and our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved everything, from the Beef Suya (my personal favorite) to the Cole Slaw, to the Jollof and Meat Pies, and the Puff Puff. A lot of brides don’t eat much on their wedding day, but I cleaned my whole plate and even took some home with me. Highly recommend!

We had a blast working with Mel! She communicated perfectly and responded to our millions of questions within a few minutes. We expressed our concerns with our group having multiple food allergies and Mel was able to accommodate them all. We had espresso balsamic beef tenderloin, miso caramel scallops, garlic green beans, sesame noodles to die for - absolutely wow, vegan bbq seitan brisket, sautéed veggies, vegan and traditional charcuterie boards, strawberry goat cheese crostini, custom breads and cranberry brie in phyllo cups. All the food was amazing! The staff that was tending to us for the night were great. Our two bartenders were amazing. Loads of energy, great stories and really were life of the party. Shout out to everyone at GourMel that was able to make this wedding night possible.
