    The most delicious wedding menu

    All of our guests raved about how good the food was at our wedding. Everything was perfect and there was so much food and many side options to please everyone. Our appetizers for cocktail hour were a huge hit as well. 10/10 amazing food.

    Book Jay's for your Wedding!

    We hired Jay's for our wedding at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles and they were absolutely amazing. The tricky part of our venue is that there was no kitchen! You would have never known that they had to build their own temporary kitchen on the lawn outside!

    You really can't go wrong with any of their food options (short ribs & lime chicken were amazing) - everything was way higher quality than your typical wedding food! Everyone was extremely professional, great communicators, and really want to go the extra mile to to please! It was so much easier to have your apps/dinner, bar, and dessert all order from one place. We ordered our wedding cake from them too and it was so good.

    I wanted to have an authentic 1944 Mai Tai as my signature drink - I gave them the recipe and a provided a few extra ingredients and they made it happen!

    Their pricing was fair and very transparent, their servers/bartenders were awesome, and everything ran like clockwork for our wedding. Highly recommend!

    Company Catering

    Jays Catering has been feeding my work company for years! Our last event we hosted Italian food and it was amazing! They provided everything from tablecloths to a variety of food options. They’re scheduling was prompt for pickup and delivery, the quality has always been amazing, and their service is spectacular.

    Best Catering

    Jay’s is a personal favorite for family and for my husband. Long before I met my husband, my parents used Jay’s Catering for all events. From sports banquets to the silent auctions, Jays was always our top choice. When we got engaged and found our Venue, we explored multiple caterers. We even went to a few tasting events. When we were invited to the Taste of Jay's event we were blown away. Every item was better than the next. The choice to hire Jay’s was obvious. They had a huge variety of food selections. The fan favorite hors’ devours was the beef wellington and everyone loved Jay’s famous Vegetarian Rotolo Bolzano. We worked specifically with Brianna Long. She was quick to respond, incredibly kind, and was helpful in answering all our questions. Jay's surpassed all our expectations!

    Delicious!

    I used Jay's for catering for my sister's baby shower. I ordered their Savory Brunch with gruyere egg casserole, apple chicken sausage, sweet potatoes, fresh fruit, and assorted muffins. I also ordered a few pans of the blueberry French toast casserole. Everything was incredible! Not only did the food come packaged in containers that kept them warm for hours (literally, they were still piping hot as I packed up leftovers hours later!), but everyone raved about how delicious the food was. There was more than enough for the amount of people that attended. I would use Jay's again in a heartbeat for any event that I need catered.

    Incredible food and service!

    Can not recommend Jay’s enough! We’ve heard from so many of our guests how incredible our food was! We absolutely fell in love with our event captain, Kat, and the whole team took such good care of us and our guests. Professional and personable through the whole process, it is clear that everyone on Jay’s staff truly loves what they do. So grateful we had them on our team!

    Amazing Food

    What an incredible VENUE!!! Sierra was amazing and so was her team. They took care of us. They asked great questions and got details that they needed. The coordinated great with our wedding coordinator, Tanairy. Everything the day of the wedding was done the right way and I wasn’t worried about anything. The Estate on Second is an incredible venue and you don’t have to do much to it to make it look beautiful. The food at the venue was incredible and people couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. The venue is great since the cocktail hour takes place upstairs and then you come downstairs for dinner and the rest of the reception. It breaks up the day nicely. Thank you again to the team and Jay’s Catering!

    Jay's Catering Company's reply:

    Hi Karlo,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are so happy to hear that you and your guests loved our venue and staff! Congrats on your marriage!

    Incredible

    My husband and I were blown away by the quality of food we had for our wedding. We had SO many guests tell us after about how much they loved it and many said it was the best wedding food they've ever had. We enjoyed the Taste of Jay's event we were able to attend to try the variety of food Jay's offers. Food is a big deal to my husband, so he wanted a good meal for our first meal together as husband and wife. Jay's surpassed our expectations and the service was amazing as well! Everyone was professional and friendly, making our day that much better. Thank you again, Jay's Catering!

    Delicious! Delicious! Delicious!

    Amazingly delicious food! Jay’s was very accommodating to our wedding. If there was something we wanted to change on our menu, they accommodated our request. At the wedding they were attentive to my husband and I along with our guest to assure that everyone was reviving the proper service. Our guest loved the food and could not stop talking about how delicious it was! Highly recommend Jay’s catering, the Italian menu is delicious!

    We got to enjoy our food

    The food was amazing. Everyone was so happy with the food. Plus their staff was so attentive and brought food to my husband and I all night, we definitely ate. It was great to be able to enjoy all the food we carefully selected. Plus we went home with a bunch of leftovers. Fortunately a lot of it froze well and we had meals ready to go a few months later. We also went with their dessert bar - the selection was amazing!! Our friends are still talking about it.

    Jay's exceeded my expectation

    We had an amazing time working with Brittany at Jay's Catering. She worked with us on what would fit into our budget, and what we wanted. Everyone loved the food and they packed up the leftovers for us to take home. I would recommend Jay's to anyone, they have so many options to choose from.

    Happy with our choice!

    Jay's Catering was a great match for our wedding! I was worried about booking my wedding at the Estate on Second because I only had one choice in vendor, but it turns out that the vendor was perfect! Jay's was professional, served high quality food, and were VERY accommodating to my guests. All of our guests commented on the food positively, especially the tacos and small dessert options! Thanks Jay’s!

    Responsive and Accommodating

    We loved that Jay's Catering also owned our venue which made planning such a breeze. What truly made Jay's amazing what the service provided by their staff, especially Hannah, Hannah was always so responsive to the millions of questions we had, and accommodated our special requests. The feedback we received from guests was that the food was amazing (definitely not banquet food) and the catering staff was on point. Jay's also gives you the leftovers from your event which is so much better than throwing it away and after your event you'll have amazing food that you don't need to prepare. Jay's is more of an a la carte instead of different packages so be prepared for that, but they are definitely worth every dime!

    Best Food Ever

    Jay's Catering is the most professional catering company and the food was AMAZING - by far the most compliments we got from our guests was that this was the only wedding they wanted to get seconds! The BBQ and mac n cheese was so delicious and the cake was beyond good!

    I cannot say enough great things about Jays! Not only did we use them for our catering, we also used them for all of our wedding rentals. We worked closely with Hannah and she guided us through everything. Our guests raved about our food and how everything looked and we have Jays to thank for all of it. I would highly recommend attending one of their tasting events as it helped us to craft the perfect menu.

    Jay's catered our recent wedding at The Casino San Clemente and they knocked it out of the park! Eunice was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and they made the whole day SO much easier. It's great to be able to source not just food and bar from the same vendor, but also tables, linens, and dishware. Their food was delicious (people were raving about it all night) and their service was amazing. DEFINITELY recommend!

    I can’t say enough good things about Jay’s Catering. The staff was outstanding and the food was amazing. I had so many compliments on how wonderful everything was. I also used them for bar service. The bartenders made sure they carded so no concerns about the younger guests.

    Excellent Wonderful Awesome Excellent Wonderful Awesome Excellent Awesome Wonderful. My family was more than pleased with Jay's services. I held my mother's 50th birthday party on Saturday and bartered with Brandon Harris who was a champion in recommending/creating/organizing an incredible menu for judgmental guests ahaha. We had vegetarian everything: palm sandwiches, Mediterranean trays, Thai spring rolls, Italian lasagna, Mexican tres leches cake, California fruit torte(aka cake two). Literally cake two was the largest singe layer cake ever seen. My nephews eyes lit up and worth the order. A lot of the guests were older and absolutely loved the lasagna served super hot, and accommodating to all tastes buds. Also, the delivery team did a great job with setup and setdown no hassle at all shout out to them. My mother regularly drives by Jay's offices on her way home from work and wondered about them, now we will be a repeat customer. My recommendation is a Guarantee.

    We hired Jay's Catering for my daughter's wedding on September 1st at the Casino in San Clemente. Brittany was our Event Specialist and she was outstanding! Every single aspect of our experience was wonderful. Jay's is the premier catering company in Orange County and they have stood the test of time. They are professional and know how to cater your event. Brittany was patient, efficient, organized and as sweet as can be! Jay's is the one to choose...you will not regret it!

    Jays was fantastic!! They were professional, punctual, and extremely attentive to my husband and I through our entire wedding! It seemed like they anticipated anything we might want before we had even thought of it ourselves. Moments after our vows, my husband and I exited into the ballroom of our venue where we were greeted by our waitress who had a drink ready for each of us. She also brought us appetizers so we could have a bite to eat before going off to take our bride and groom portraits. And when we entered the reception, they had even served us each a plate and had them ready for us at our sweetheart table. They even took the time to make sure my plate was vegetarian. They kept the drinks coming to us all night, filled our glasses, and cleared plates quickly. Best of all, our guests all agreed they had the same experience! The Jay's team were attentive and curious to our guests and made everyone feel well taken care of. AND THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS!!! A saw a huge number of my guests even went back for seconds. I lost count of how many people commented on how amazing the food was! We had the Mexican food, something we were at first hesitant about since our guests would not appreciate inauthentic or bad Mexican food. Jays exceeded our expectations! Everything tasted amazing and was presented beautifully. They even took the time to send my husband and I home with a lunch for the following day! Hire Jays as your caterer- you will not be disappointed!!

    We found out about Jay's through The Loft on Pine as they are one of their preferred vendors. Compared to the other preferred vendors, their prices were more reasonable and the food was more streamlined and straightforward than the other options.

    Since using them, I would have chosen them again in a heartbeat because of a slew of other reasons too -- everyone raved about the food at our wedding, we had a wide variety of options and they were flexible to swap in veggie/vegan versions of their existing dishes (salad w/o cheese for example), and Hannah, who we worked with was fantastic throughout.

    My parents went to the couples' tasting since my husband and I live in Seattle, and they were also incredibly pleased with the service, kind people, and great working relationship that we had with the folks at Jay's.

    Jays catering is absolutely AMAZING. They catered my wedding just this last weekend, and they went above and beyond. April was a pleasure to work with, she was always on top of things and was quick to respond to emails. The food was wonderful, we had Italian and we got many compliments from our guest about how good our food was! At the end of the night Jays even gave us a care package with a little midnight snack, knowing the bride and groom don't get much to eat on their wedding night because of nerves. My family has also used Jays for other family events like Baby Showers and Memorial Services. Hands down I would use Jays again and again!

    Jay’s is amazing! Nickie was our coordinator and she was fantastic. She worked with me on the different types of menus I wanted to explore. She was extremely responsive and so helpful. The food was AMAZING. We had brisket, chicken, a mashed potato bar, and more. The Jay’s staff were very professional on the night of the wedding. Our dinner was served buffet style. Before the guests went to the buffet, the Jay’s team brought a plate of food to my husband and I at our sweetheart table. I thought this was so sweet since most people say “you don’t have time to eat on your wedding day.” When we left, they gave us a goodie box with a mini bottle of champagne, sandwiches, chips, and a cookie. It was so thoughtful. I’m so happy we used Jay’s. We’ve used them at family and church gatherings for years, but their wedding menu and staff blew me away.

    I am so happy that my venue had a contract with Jay's. We were invited to a food tasting prior to our wedding which. All of the food was amazing, but the tasting helped change our mind about the menu we wanted for our wedding. The day of every single guest enjoyed the food. We had so much leftovers that Jay's sent us home with trays full of food. Our guest are commenting a week later about how amazing the food was.
