Excellent catering

Erica and Trumpet Vine team catered our wedding in Paso Robles! We're so glad we chose Trumpet Vine, especially a snafu where another caterer completed ghosted us.

We wanted to give a big shoutout to Erica, who was a total dream to work with in the 1+ year process leading up to the wedding. She helped craft the menu, and she incorporated all of our changes and answered my many questions super promptly. They were also able to help with some specific requests with a large format champagne bottle and wine service. The food was delicious, beautifully plated, and generously portioned (good to know that the day-of portions are much larger than the tasting portions!).

5 Star Catering

Trumpet & Vine Catering did an amazing job for our wedding! We got married at Terra Mia on 9/17 and we're referred to Trumpet & Vine. They did an absolute wonderful job with all of the food, I had guests messaging me for days afterwards raving about it. Highly recommend the mac & cheese croquettes as an appetizer, it was our favorite. To say the least, the food was so tasty and good! The team at Trumpet & Vine were great with communication through out the process and made things so easy. We recommend them to anyone for catering! Thank you guys for all of your hard work at our wedding!

Amazing experience all around!

Trumpet Vine catered our 50-person wedding with a Taco Bar and it was perfect! Everyone commented on how friendly and helpful the staff was all while making the experience stress-free for me. They cleaned and racked all of our rentals (which was amazing when the rental company showed up at 8 am the next morning) and they left us SOOO much leftover food which was totally unexpected and we were so grateful when no one wanted to cook the next day.
