Amazing! Amazing!!

We knew we wanted good food at our event, and when a friend recommended Balboa, we checked them out. Jocelyn was super friendly and helpful, and very quick to respond. Alex was awesome to plan the menu with. The food was spectacular!! Seriously, the mushroom bread pudding bites were the best things I ever put in my mouth! We had a plated dinner with a beautiful salad, short rib entree and a warm apple pie with melted cheddar on top. The servers and bartenders were professional and smiley. We will definitely be hiring balboa again!

Blown away

I was a guest at a wedding catered by the team at Balboa. They did a FABULOUS job on the food and drinks for the wedding. Everything was incredible. It was the best food I've ever had at a wedding hands down! My most favorite bites were the spicy tuna cracker, the mushroom bread pudding and the short ribs. I'm still dreaming of them!! I was also impressed by the servers and bar tenders. Everyone was so kind, helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend using Balboa for any catering needs. You won't regret it!

Best experience - hire them immediately!

Working with the Balboa team was an absolutely amazing experience. Not only did they make INCREDIBLE food for our wedding, They helped with so much more than that.

We had a 200+ person, very DIY backyard wedding. Yes, I know. Crazy. Balboa helped so much, though. Not only did they make delicious food… they had live chefs, provided the staff, the bartenders, helped me with the rentals for the ENTIRE wedding (glassware, tables, linens, forks, etc.), came to my rental appointment with me, did head counts to make sure that we would have enough of everything, helped with setting up & breaking down the whole event…. And so much more. We worked very closely with Jocelyn, and she was absolutely incredible. We have a not so easy to please crowd & we have heard nothing but raving reviews about everything. The food, the experience, the staff members, the list goes on. We’ve actually heard from several family/friends that they contacted & hired Balboa for other events immediately after the wedding.

Usually wedding food gets a “it was fine” review from me, but not with Balboa. They go above & beyond. The food is absolutely divine. I can not wait to experience it again.

Jocelyn, Alex, & the entire Balboa team… THANK YOU. We could not recommend you more & look forward to hiring you again in the future for other events! Your team is the absolute best!
