  Great experience throughout planning and the wedding day

  Debbie and her team provided an amazing experience for our guests on our wedding day. She had been very attentive and communicative during the entire planning process and the food turned out amazing. She was flexible with dietary restrictions and worked with us to create options for our guests. The service was also on time and we didn’t have any delays in getting our guests fed. She was great to work with and ensured our bellies were full on our wedding day!

  A Delicious Spanish-inspired Dinner for our wedding at the Casitas Estate

  Chef Debbie Duggan and her team provided an incredibly delicious spread for our wedding! From the moment we began to talk, we knew that Debbie was excited about our wedding and could deliver on our vision of serving local, seasonal, and unforgettable food. We got married at the Casitas Estate in Arroyo Grande, which has a Spanish style, and we wanted to follow that theme through with our menu. Debbie was very enthusiastic and worked with us on perfecting the menu for our special day!
  
  We did a tasting with her and knew right away we wanted her as our caterer (so much so we didn’t do any other wedding tastings). We were passionate about the vision and the desire to change things as needed based on what would be in season at the time of the wedding. The cost was extremely reasonable and we loved the idea that we would be the only event Debbie was catering for that weekend and it would have her full attention.
  
  Her team helped to set up a spa water station for our guests to be greeted with. For cocktail hour, we had a large and plentiful cheese, meat, fruit, nuts, etc. display along with deviled eggs, various crostinis, and gazpacho shooters. They were all yummy and well received, but the gazpacho especially stood out to our guests! It was a wonderful cold soup shooter presented beautifully to our guests as they approached the courtyard after our ceremony on a warm July afternoon. This was one of our must haves items and Debbie delivered it flawlessly.
  
  For dinner, we did a served buffet per Debbie’s suggestion, which worked out perfectly for our venue and guests. Debbie had a dedicated chef making a giant pan of paella, which was not only incredibly good, but so much fun for our guests to see in the works and displayed gorgeously on the buffet! There was plenty for our guests to have seconds and even thirds and we even still had some to take a little home and enjoy over the next week. Our guests STILL bring up the paella when we see them over 6 months later! The entrees were a citrus tarragon Salmon, Santa Maria style tri-tip & chicken, as well as a vegetarian/vegan entree consisting the paella with lots of other veggies like grilled portobellos, asparagus, etc. The salads also featured seasonal, local ingredients and were perfect for the summer day.
  
  We have zero complaints about the incredibly delicious food that Debbie and her team allowed our guests to experience. We would HIGHLY recommend Debbie to cater any event and she was one of our very favorite vendors to work with and helped make our day even more memorable!

  Best Wedding Food Ever!

  My (now) husband and I really wanted to serve tacos at our wedding, but we wanted to use an actual caterer instead of a taco truck, since we did a sit down reception dinner. We reached out to Debbie & we quickly set up a time to meet with her and taste her taco meal option. We were BLOWN AWAY with how delicious her food was when we tasted it, so we immediately booked her for our big day! Our friends and family raved nonstop about how good the food was, and how they loved everything on their plate. She was so helpful throughout our planning process with all of the small things you don't think about! We also booked our servers and bartenders through her, and we heard great things about their service throughout the night as well. The bartenders were on top of it and kept the party going all night long, the servers had everyone's plates cleaned up and put away before dancing ended, and the venue looked sparkling clean when the night was over! Debbie and her team were so great to work with, and we couldn't be happier with the quality of food and service on our big day.

  Amazing food, even better service!

  Chef Debbie and her amazing staff catered our beachfront wedding. Debbie was very easy to work with. Together we created a wonderful menu that all of our guests enjoyed. The charcuterie spread was as beautiful as it was tasty. The guests raved for days over the coconut shrimp appetizers.
  
  We chose a plated salad. One of our guests was gluten free (not told to us before the wedding). She had asked the waiter if there was gluten in the batter (there was). He asked her name, and when she sat down to eat her salad, she had no croutons. I wish I had his name (everything was a blur that night) because him going above and beyond that night was so appreciated. He also kept our food warm when we had to leave to catch sunset pictures. Little things like that were so appreciated by all. The bartender was very attentive as well and had a great personality with our guests.
  
  The filet was so tender and the salmon was very flavorful. All of the sides were delicious. We asked for lots of bread and we got it. All of it was just so tasty.
  
  They cut and served the cake as well. They did it so quickly...all of our guests were still seated, which was great. We all enjoyed it together.
  
  The clean up was just as amazing. I know that is not usually something people review about, but this was a brand new kitchen. After they left, you would have never known they were there. Once again, the attention to detail was flawless. They even rinsed all of the rental dishes. When they were picked up, the rental company commented on how rare that was and how much they appreciated it.
  
  Chef Debbie and her crew are consummate professionals and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for any kind of event.

  Debbie Duggan went above & beyond when I came to her to cater my far from normal wedding reception. My fiance and I really wanted an outdoor wedding reception for over a hundred people in Morro Bay but came up short when trying to find a venue. We decided to rent a gorgeous, on the water, public park, Tidelands Park. This meant that we had to do a lot more work with renting every piece of equipment, getting proper permitting, and finding vendors who were up for the challenge as well. From the moment we hired Debbie she took us under her wing, reminding us of things we didn't think about that we had to buy, rent, or provide and even helped provide recommendations of vendors. When it came time to do our food tasting, Debbie first met us at our unusual park location to figure out where she would be setting up on the day-of and then had us over to her kitchen in SLO the next day to feast on her fabulous cuisine. Everything we tried was outstanding that day and to all of our surprise, the food was just as delicious when catered to the park on the day of our wedding reception. Debbie's presentation and friendly staff deserve a compliment as well- everything was presented incredibly and her staff was so joyful all day during our long event and were truly there to make every single person attending have an excellent time.

  Food was delicious, which is usually hard to come by when cooking for large groups.
  From planning to the big day Debbie and her staff were amazing and went above and beyond to make sure not only bride and groom were happy, but every single one of their guests as well.
  Would highly recommend for any wedding or large event.

  Debbie catered our wedding in San Luis Obispo in March 2017. Lets just say, people are still coming up to me to tell me how much they loved the food at our wedding! My husband and I love good food and are spoiled in San Francisco, where we live. What drew us to Debbie was her homemade food (everything is from scratch), use of high quality, fresh, local ingredients, and years of catering experience and expertise. She is well-connected in the industry, but not pretentious at all. Rather, she is a gem to work with.
  
  Our wedding included a cocktail reception with passed appetizers followed by a formal sit-down dinner. We worked with Debbie to draft a menu that reflected seasonal California cuisine. For the passed appetizers, we had her coconut encrusted shrimp with red pepper sauce, lamb lollipops, and the most beautiful cheese station with dried fruits, nuts, crackers, draped on its own table in the center of the cocktail reception. These apps were to die for.
  
  For dinner, we started with a local greens salad with mixed berries, candied cayenne pecans, and pomegranate vinaigrette; this salad was unreal! The entree choices were macadamia encrusted halibut or filet mignon with a Brandy Peppercorn sauce; for the Vegetarians, we offered a Spring vegetable and cheese lasagna. All entrees were served with some sort of garlic potatoes, as well as a vegetable stir-fry with fresh basil. Everything was delicious. I appreciated how the portions were generous, the food presentation was spot-on, and the plates came out hot, despite it being a chilly night! Debbie's servers were professional and went above and beyond to make sure each person got what they ordered, as well as continued to fill up wine and water glasses throughout the evening.
  
  We could not have asked for a better experience with a vendor for our wedding. My husband and I are looking forward to attending our friend's wedding in May because we know Debbie will be catering that too!

  We hired Debbie for our daughters rehearsal dinner. She and her staff provided exceptional service. We chose Debbie because we had attended a wedding where she provided the service. It was truly the best wedding meal we had ever had. We highly recommend Debbie for your next big event.

  I cannot say enough about Debbie and her staff. From the moment we met with Debbie I felt confident that she could deliver exactly what we were looking for, and she did! Her food is amazing (try her adult mac and cheese, people were going back for thirds) and our guests raved about every detail, from the cheese display during cocktail hour to the homemade garlic bread, she provided exactly what we were looking for. Debbie and her staff helped make our day so special and delicious!

  Debbie Duggan is very professional, fun and creative with the food choices. She asks great questions to determine what would be the best food options for the guests and works within the client's budget. I am a repeat customer and will continue to use her for the quality of her food and the quality of her staff.

  Working with Debbie Duggan to cater my wedding was such a pleasure. She is not only incredibly personable, but she is extremely knowledgeable about all-things wedding related on the Central Coast, and was able to help me secure other reliable vendors for our special day.
  
  As for the food, it exceeded my expectations. I am a foodie, and wanted the food to be delicious, and it certainly was! You can tell when you eat Debbie's food that it is made with lots of love, and really high-quality ingredients. Everything tasted so fresh, rich, and there was the perfect amount of food (we did a buffet, though she does plated dinners too). Among my favorites were her mixed greens with berries, candied nuts, and orange poppyseed vinaigrette (I die for this salad), as well as her dessert bar. I have such a sweet tooth, that I wanted more than just a wedding cake, so we had Debbie create a dessert bar and it was SUCH a hit. Her desserts are decadent - chocolate peanut butter pie, boysenberry pie, and espresso chocolate caramel bars. The guests loved the dessert bar too.
  
  Overall, working with Debbie was so enjoyable, and I highly recommend her to any brides/grooms to be who are planning their wedding on the Central Coast. She knows everyone in the industry, and it's clear that everyone loves working with Debbie and especially, enjoying her delicious dishes!

Everything tasted so fresh, rich, and there was the perfect amount of food (we did a buffet, though she does plated dinners too). Among my favorites were her mixed greens with berries, candied nuts, and orange poppyseed vinaigrette (I die for this salad), as well as her dessert bar. I have such a sweet tooth, that I wanted more than just a wedding cake, so we had Debbie create a dessert bar and it was SUCH a hit. Her desserts are decadent - chocolate peanut butter pie, boysenberry pie, and espresso chocolate caramel bars. The guests loved the dessert bar too.
  
  Overall, working with Debbie was so enjoyable, and I highly recommend her to any brides/grooms to be who are planning their wedding on the Central Coast. She knows everyone in the industry, and it's clear that everyone loves working with Debbie and especially, enjoying her delicious dishes!

  We used Debbie to cater our wedding in July 2015 and the food was excellent. We served heavy appetizers and our guests loved everything. They packaged up the leftovers for us and did clean up as well. Her staff was very friendly and professional. I've also taken a few of her cooking classes and they were fun. She gives you the recipes and I've remade several of them. They all came out just as good as when she made them in the class.

  We had Debbie for our wedding for a family style meal and at first we were thrilled with her pricing and help prior to the wedding. However, when it came to the day of, our confidence dropped significantly. The food was very tasty however, the service was not good at all. Dinner was almost an hour late and we had to switch around our entire timeline to accommodate for the tardiness. The waiters she hired seemed inexperienced and one was in their teens. At one point, I went over to the dessert table and noticed the desserts were not out yet around the cake, which was supposed to also serve as decoration. I had to ask one of the servers why they weren't out yet and she seemed to not know what to do. Not only that but for the toasts, they didn't get champagne out quickly enough and the bridal party and my mother-in-law had to help pass out glasses of champagne to guests! We hired 2 bartenders for our event but I do not recall ever seeing said bartenders at the bar and guests poured their own drinks. We were promised there would be enough bread to go around for all our guests and that it would be sitting on the table but once we were seated, the bridal party table had butter, but no bread and guests had to constantly keep asking for it. Overall, the taste of the food was good but the quality of the service could use a lot of work.
