Perfect Wedding experience

Bekker's is the best :) We had so many compliments on how amazing the food was and how great the staff was. Everyone was so friendly and had the venue set up in record speed. Using Bekker's bartenders made coordinating seamless and they were also amazing to our guests. Kimberly was AMAZING as our coordinator as well. She was so organized, communicated with all vendors, and kept to the timeline with no hiccups at all. She took away all day of stress, and everything went as planned. We are so grateful for how easy she made things and how beautiful everything turned out. We had multiple guests with dietary restrictions, and she made sure they were catered to appropriately. I cannot say enough positive things about her and Bekker's team !!!!

Bekker's is the BEST!

From start to finish, our experience with Bekker’s was exceptional. There’s a reason their ratings are so high and why they’re consistently voted the best catering company year after year.

After reading their incredibly positive reviews, I decided to reach out and Haley answered my first call. She was so helpful in talking through a proposal and quickly sent over what we discussed. There were so many things I hadn't thought of that she explained and asked questions about. I contacted several other local caterers, but many took days to respond or required scheduling calls just to answer simple questions. With Bekker’s, I could call during business hours and always reach someone. That level of accessibility was invaluable when quick questions or changes came up.

Their menu and rental options were fantastic as well. I highly recommend booking a tasting once you’ve narrowed down your menu. It's a really great opportunity to talk with staff about your proposal and understand the menu options.

The service and food on our wedding day were flawless. We got married at the Junípero Serra Museum in October, and the event staff were truly wonderful. They were kind, attentive, upbeat, and fully engaged throughout the entire evening. We offered passed appetizers, wine service, and cake service, so they were assisting guests nonstop. We also received countless compliments on the food. After the event, at least ten people mentioned how incredible the Kale & Strawberry Salad was!

You absolutely cannot go wrong with Bekker’s. I would recommend them again and again!

EXCEPTIONAL food and service!!

EXCEPTIONAL food and service!! I’m convinced Bekker’s is the best catering company in the business in San Diego. I hired them for my wedding and from the initial phone consultation, through planning meetings, and the event itself, I felt completely taken care of by every single staff member. One of the owners, Olga, went over my menu with me in such detail—we were so impressed! Everyone is thoughtful, detail-oriented, kind, and professional. I felt like a priority because they take the time to listen to what you want and offer great suggestions based on their decades of experience! You can trust Bekker’s do an excellent job- the execution of my wedding reception was flawless. A special shout-out to Allison, my day-of wedding coordinator from Bekker’s! She is amazing AND YOU SHOULD HIRE HER AND BEKKER’S for your wedding coordination with Bekker's—BEST decision ever. Thank you to Olga, Allison and the whole team at Bekker’s for making my wedding incredible for me, my husband, and all our guests!!

Great Experience with Bekkers!

We had a fantastic experience with Bekker's Catering! The food was absolutely delicious and very affordable, and their customer service was incredible. Even with all the details they had to handle, the team was so patient in helping us choose the perfect table linens and answering every question we had.
We decided to go with bamboo plates, cloth napkins, and metal silverware, which not only fit our garden theme beautifully but was also a very budget-friendly option. The farm tables they provided were gorgeous, adding an extra touch to the overall atmosphere.
The entire team was lovely, and our guests kept mentioning how kind the bartenders were—the friendliest they've ever met! Bekker's Catering really went above and beyond to make our event memorable. Highly recommend!

Bekker’s catering

Bekker’s catering was AMAZING! There was an issue with my venue not leaving enough space for the buffet inside, however Bekker’s was quick to accommodate and set up outside. The set up was elegant, the food was delicious, and the staff were amazing. Thank you Bekker’s Catering!

Best Wedding Caterer in Town!

If you need to contract a catering service for an event in San Diego, CA, look no further than Bekker's Catering. They have been voted the number one catering company in town and have won Wedding Wire's Couple's Choice Awards for the past 7-8 consecutive years.

My husband and I began looking for catering companies a year before our wedding date on 09/30/2023. We used The Knot to book tastings. From the get-go, we knew Bekker's was on the top of our lists for the following reasons: 1. transparent pricing - all package costs are posted on their website, and there are no hidden fees; 2. tons of catering food options; and 3. they offered additional services, such as wedding coordination services, making it a one-stop option for all your wedding planning needs. Once we did our tastings, we knew we had to go with Bekker's for our wedding catering. Not only did they have the best-tasting food, but they also offered the ability to add more things to our packages, such as the late-night snacks, boxed and ready to grab and go, for the end of our wedding event.

In addition to the food catering services, we also decided to hire Bekker's for our Day-of Wedding coordination, run by Kimberly and assisted by Makela. Kimberly was the best! Not only did she help put a list together for our master timeline and vendor information months in advance before the wedding, but she also attended our site visits for our wedding reception, kept in contact with all our vendors, and made sure that my husband and I felt cared for and taken care of the day of our wedding. We cannot emphasize enough how amazing it was to work with Kimberly and Bekker's for our wedding, and we would highly recommend any bride/groom to use their services, especially if you have a big wedding in San Diego.

Would Recommend in a Heartbeat

Bekkers did an amazing job on our wedding! We had a huge guest count but the team at Bekkers handled it so easily and took a lot of weight off our shoulders during the planning process with their positive attitudes and long-time industry experience. In addition to their catering services, we chose to use Bekker’s Complete Wedding Coordination and Kimberly was the best coordinator that truly cared about our vision and worked with us every step of the way! Kimberly has an exceptional amount of industry experience and a great amount of grace that really kept my husband and I calm and focused throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Kimberly and her staff made sure that my husband and I were well taken care of. The single photo I have included doesn't do this vendor justice- they provided all table setting and so much more. Following our wedding, I have received many raving reviews from my own guests about how delicious the food was, how considerate their staff was, and how kind Bekker’s bartenders were! I would recommend Bekker’s in a heartbeat!!

Terrific Food and Service

Bekker's was recommended to us by our venue who had worked with them several times before on different weddings. The service staff was very friendly and efficient! Most of all, all of our guests really enjoyed the food! They were on time and worked hard, I would highly recommend to anyone needing catering for an event.

Fabulous food and service!

Bekker’s catering did such a fantastic job at our wedding in April this year! We searched around for a while looking for a caterer and finally landed with them, and I’m so glad. They were very professional. The tasting was fabulous and they laid out all the options for us for our day. We picked the ‘Elegant by Design’ menu and it was wonderful. The tray passed appetizers were SO GOOD! We loved the meatballs and the little ahi poke chips! We elected for family style platters for dinner and they were so fast with getting them to the tables. They made sure the groom and I got food as soon as we sat down and were attentive all night. They specialize in large weddings and their service is top notch! Highly recommend them for your event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
