Exceptional!

Carrie Dove is EXCEPTIONAL. Our first tasting was with Carrie Dove and the experience was a dream (gorgeous venue, VIP treatment, literally some of the best food we have ever eaten, exceptional service and level of detail by Chef…a dream). Since it was our first we thought “wow! This must be the standard” but no, Carrie Dove is just exceptional (had a nightmare experience elsewhere). Needless to say we booked immediately with Carrie Dove and it was the best decision. The menu opens were vast and amazing (so well thought out), they made everything so easy for us providing all of the furniture/linens/tableware/etc and covering all of the things we didn’t even think about. We worked with Abby and she was WONDERFUL. Professional, organized, super well-versed and experienced in weddings and our particular venue, and we loved her as a person. Our day-of was incredible, literally not a single issue and we were able to enjoy a 100% stress-free day. All of our guests noted how amazing the food was and the servers did a perfect job with timing and getting our entire group plated and fed.
If you’re looking for a caterer that has the best tasting food, amazing service, the greatest coordinator/planner all with the best pricing: Carrie Dove.

Delicious food!

Carrie Dove catered our August 2023 wedding at The Hibernia in San Francisco. From our first tasting - which they made into a romantic private dinner date - to the day of, we were blown away by the quality, presentation, and sheer deliciousness of Carrie Dove's food options. Plus, their ability to adjust for guest's allergies and food needs with no problem at all! Everyone was raving about the food. We ordered filet mignon, apricot stuffed chicken, and black pepper salmon, with a gnocchi course and an assortment of sides.

Best Wedding Food Ever!

The food that Carrie Dove prepared for our wedding was perhaps the best wedding food I’ve ever had! So many guests came up and told us how good the food was, a huge complement to their team! Working with them was also so easy - from the tasting to the day of, the made the process fun and stress free. As well, the staff that served us were so professional and friendly, we also heard so many good things about the service from our guests. Hire Carrie Dove for your wedding, you will not regret it!!
