We chose Garden of Eating to cater our wedding this October at the Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica, CA. We could not have been happier with Ethan and his team! They were amazing to work with! Ethan worked with us on our budget and was so quick in communicating with us. Ethan and his team truly worked magic: from setting up cafe string lights for our outdoor reception, to creating all of the beautiful floral decor and bouquets for me and my bridesmaids, serving delicious tray passed appetizers for our guests during cocktail hour, facilitating the change over from ceremony to reception, and finally serving the amazing plated dinner to all of our guests. We are soo happy that we chose to work with Garden of Eating Catering for the most important day of our lives. Ethan was a true professional and he went above and beyond to make the day truly amazing for us. We could not be happier! Thank you so much Ethan!!!

Great food, great service, great prices. Ethan was a dream to work with. We wanted a customized menu of Paella, avocado mango salad, green salad, black beans, etc. At each step along the way, Ethan was on it. He was flexible, helpful, had good ideas and really worked with us to get what we ultimately wanted for the big day. Guests loved the food. One said 'it was to die for..' Presentation was clean, tasteful and beautiful, and on time. On- site supervisor and staff were, polite, helpful, friendly and professional. Also,no hidden costs and they really worked with us on pricing. Great company!!

Ethan and his team were amazing! Ethan - thank you so very much for working with us to figure out the right menu for us and being so incredibly patient as we changed up details several times. Our guests RAVED about dinner and just made our night that much more exceptional. There were several guests who went back for seconds and thirds! You are incredibly patient, thoughtful and just great at what you do. You were also so helpful by offering suggestions for how to make the space look even more grandiose. I will be recommending Garden of Eating to anyone looking for a great catering company!!!

Where to begin with Garden of Eating? From first contact with them over a year before our event, it was clear that they were a different kind of service provider. From the start, they were up front and helpful when it came to decision making on a budget, they were willing to work with our budget to build a menu that our guests would love. They even provided the wedding cake! It was wonderful to have a one-stop shop for our caterer and they, especially Ethan, were a pleasure to work with. They were professional, on top of service at the event, and very efficient during set up and break down. We would definitely recommend them for your event.

Garden of Eating was a pleasure to work with. The food turned out beautiful an was delicious. the were also hire to set and arrange the dining area in our venue. They did a beautiful job--as if I did it myself! We had more than enough food, so much left over.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
