    Beautiful and tasty!

    Exceptional wedding dessert table!! Wow! We were so happy with Carla and her team's work! They just did our wedding this past Saturday and the desserts were a hit!! We got the chocolate covered pretzels, shortbread jelly cookies, red velvet and chocolate cake pops, chocolate covered strawberries, and cake! We hired Carla almost a year ago and she has been so responsive and so sweet! You can tell she loves what she does! Their team includes the drop off,
    Set up/design, and pickup, and all the decor in addition to picking 5 dessert items in the package with flexible options to upgrade or add more. We are so thankful for all their work!

    Most Beautiful Dessert Table

    My husband and I had the pleasure of booking San Diego Candy Buffets for our wedding, 11.12.22. Having them be part of our special day was one of the Best decisions we made!! Carla and her team created the most BEAUTIFUL dessert table. It was beyond what we envisioned. Carla and her team took all the details we provided and exceeded our expectations!! The decor, little details, the desserts themselves and the presentation was perfect!!!! Also, she was so communicative and made herself easily accessible via phone, text and email. If you’re looking for desserts for your event, book them NOW!!!! I promise you won’t regret it! ❤️
    Carla,
    Thank you for adding so much sweet and sparkle to the Best Day of our lives! I will gladly send photos when our photographer shares them. However attached is one of my favorites. Thank YOU SO MUCH!!!

    Carla did my wedding this past weekend on July 4th! My friend reached out to her last minute to look for a cotton candy machine set up. Well Carla exceeded my expectations and was available to execute on my wedding day. She is so easy to work with and my guests loved the cotton candy set up with the decor for my wedding to match my colors of mint green and powder blue. There are other reviews with 1 stars but if you read them it is a fluke as it posts three times. She was on time and my guests loved the candy bar/cotton candy set up.

    I want to thank the entire team at San Diego Candy Buffets for the wonderful job they did on the candy buffet for my son’s wedding. It was beautiful. As the mother of the groom, I wasn’t tasked with very much in regards for decoration for the wedding, but I was assigned the candy buffet for over 300 people. I toyed with the idea of doing it myself, but I really didn’t want to have worry about setup, clean up and the refilling during the reception. I just wanted it to be beautiful, and have someone I could trust to look after it. I am so pleased that I reached out to San Diego Candy Buffet! I worked with Carla to let her know what I was looking for in terms of décor and she bounced her ideas off me and it sounded perfect, exactly what I was hoping to have. The day of the wedding I was not disappointed. Capi and Carla incorporated the photos of the newleyweds I provided and created an elegant and romantic display. I could NEVER have pulled this off on my own. I had more duties than I thought with the shower, and the rehearsal dinner that it was a blessing to know that Carla and Capi understood the “idea” I had in my head and made it come true with very little input on my part. This took a great deal of stress off my shoulders and I am very happy to have had the San Diego Candy Buffet create this display. Best of all my son and his bride were thrilled and her mom loved it. My guests were so happy to have popcorn and candy available when they arrived at the reception as the bridal party arrived late. At the end of the night when everyone else was cleaning up, I just went to the candy table and Capi had boxed up everything for me (my photos, and extra candy). This whole experience could not have been easier or had better results.
    I will be recommending their services to my friends and family.

    San Diego Candy Buffet did an AWESOME job at my sons 18th birthday party! I received so many complements on how great the presentation was! I have used them in the past for 2 baby showers and will continue to do so! If you're looking for a candy buffet for any event....you don't need to look any further!!!

    The display they created was hands down the most beautiful candy buffet I have ever seen. I sent in a fabric swatch of my wife's bridesmaid dresses and explained the overall theme of the wedding. I have to tell you they nailed it perfectly! I had to pay a slight upcharge for the jelly bellies I wanted, but they ARE a premium item, so no big deal there. They were also able to provide some delicious chocolate covered strawberries!

    San Diego Candy Buffets's reply:

    Hi Jeremy,
    Thank you so much for the review. I'm glad I was able to accommodate your wishes. Sorry about the jelly bellies, but there was no up-charge for that. The wedding venue and overall the coordination made it a wonderful day for us as well. Thank you again. Should you ever need our services again...jelly bellies are on the house!
    Warm regards,

    Carla Kellogg
    Sweet Designer

    Carla at San Diego candy buffet was soooo awsome. She really delivered when it came to the design and decorations for our candy bar. She was the nicest lady and very professional. If your looking for an extra kick to your wedding reception, hire carla at san diego candy buffet. It was sooooo worth it! You were one of the few vendors who delivered what was promised and more. Thanks soooo very much. Our guest loved the candy bar. You are very much appreciated.

    I loved my wedding Candy Buffet and all my guests thought it was great. The candy was delicious and they even customized our table with photos of us which Carla printed out herself! Everything was customized to exactly what colors, candies and the overall look we wanted. Definitely worth it and I will be contacting them again- possibly for a baby shower soon! :)

    Received none of my deposit and balance back after wedding was cancelled

    Make sure you read the contract before signing. Do not tread lightly. There are no refunds at all. The owner was unempathetic of the fact that my wedding was cancelled due to CovID AND we were moving out of state. Sad that it ended the way it did since her buffets did look cute. But the customer service went downhill after we told her we needed to cancel even though we were paid in full. My guess is that she spent the money or didn't have it and that's another reason why she refused to refund the balance minus the deposit.
    This was the only wedding vendor that was not fair with our event being cancelled.
    I told her several times by email, text and calls that I needed to cancel but she kept deflecting that we could reschedule within a year. There is no event. What is not clear?
