Best Wedding Food!

We hired Catering Connection to provide catering for our wedding, and they exceeded every expectation. Casey and the team were incredibly professional, from the seamless planning process to the flawless execution on the day of. The food was phenomenal — beautifully plated with edible flowers, delicious appetizers, and entrees that our guests are still talking about. One of our guests even said the braised short rib was not only the best wedding meal she’s ever had, but one of her favorite meals ever. The team was attentive to dietary restrictions and made everyone feel cared for. We also loved our tasting experience at their charming facility near downtown Santa Barbara — it was one of our favorite memories from the planning process. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

Delicious food and drinks, wonderful communication!

Working with Catering Connection was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was detailed, patient, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and value was truly exceptional - the food was delicious, they were receptive to all of our requests, and the dishes were beautifully presented and well-seasoned. We felt like it was a great value for our money, and Casey was very understanding and helpful balancing our food and beverage needs with our budget.

They helped us craft the perfect menu, including passed appetizers, a stunning grazing table, three options for a plated meal, coffee service, and our fabulous signature cocktails. We loved all of our food and drinks, and we received positive reviews from our guests as well!

From the moment we scheduled our tasting with them, working with Catering Connection was a breeze. Casey in particular was so helpful leading up to the day and even followed up afterwards for feedback. The chef and all the service staff were wonderful and led flawless execution on our wedding day. We are so grateful to Catering Connection for helping make our special day truly unforgettable!

Fantastic Catering for our Wedding!

It was a dream to get to work with Casey and her team at Catering Connection over the past year as we planned our wedding. Their food is deliciousss, and we received so many compliments from guests on our appetizers, dinner, cocktails, and bar (we are still receiving compliments to this day). Their staff is so kind and attentive, and we were in great hands on our wedding day. They also helped us manage our wedding rentals and our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be! We had interviewed many catering companies, and Catering Connection was by far the best--we were lucky to have worked with them!

Creative, Flexible & Hospitable

Casey and her team have set a high bar for catering (plus!) services here in Santa Barbara. She was able to work with our eclectic needs, help us manage our budget, rework the menu and needs up until the eleventh hour and managed all of this with warmth and a smile. We are thoroughly impressed with Catering Connection and will be returning to them in the future.

Catering of Our Wildest Dreams!

We are so extremely grateful for finding Catering Connection!! Casey was so helpful, knowledgable, professional, and kind throughout the entire planning process and we simply could not have done this without her. She helped us understand what we needed, answered all of our millions of questions promptly, and worked with us so we could stay within our budget. It was such a joy to work with her and everyone at Catering Connection!!

Most importantly of all, the food was EXCELLENT! Many of our picky eaters or those with high food standards came to us during and after the wedding to tell us how incredible the entrees were! Unlike what happens at many weddings or events, everything from Catering Connection was still warm when we were eating it and it was truly delicious. And we still have people coming to us with compliments about the mini desserts!

Catering Connection also worked with Amigos Rentals and they worked with us to assemble our vision for our ceremony and reception! Everything was what we imagined and more!

Italian Themed Menu/Wedding

We would highly recommend Catering Connection to anyone looking for a great caterer! Casey was friendly, fun, organized, and quick to respond to our endless emails. The team and chefs went above and beyond to create an Italian menu, along with an Italian themed grazing table. Our tasting was fun and all of the food was delicious!! We would highly recommend Catering Connection to anyone planning their wedding. Thank you again for your wonderful service!

A+ wedding caterer

Casey was an incredible person to work with for our wedding. She was so helpful during our food tasting and we felt so supported. It was also such a fun experience and we knew that if we could feel the energy in our tasting, that our guests would feel it at the wedding. Our guests keep telling us the food was so good and they haven’t eaten so much in their lives. Casey’s staff was so professional and worked as a team with our other vendors to create a seamless experience. I can’t say enough good things. I would 100% recommend.
