Central Coast Catering

From our first meeting to the final dish served, Barbareño made our wedding day truly special. The team took the time to sit down with us before the big day, ensuring we felt completely comfortable with our menu selections. Their approach was professional, accommodating, and oh so talented!

On our wedding day, everything was flawless. The dishes were not only delicious but were also beautifully presented, fitting perfectly with the vibe of our celebration. Our guests loved every bite and couldn't stop raving about the food! The Barbareño staff were stars as well, taking care of everyone with efficiency and warmth.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are so grateful for their exceptional service. I'd not only recommend Barbareño for any catering needs but also suggest checking out their restaurant for the same quality and deliciousness. Thank you, Barbareño, for being a huge part of our memorable day!

Central Coast Catering/Barbareño catered our wedding this past weekend and we cannot believe what an amazing job they did. We lost count of how many guests told us it was the best wedding food they've ever had!

From day one Elisa was professional, responsive, and was flexible to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. She went above and beyond joining us for a venue tour, handling all dietary restrictions (including a celiac) with ease, and ensured her service team was on-point.

We had 3 stationary apps, and a family style dinner with 3 sides and 2 proteins for 185 people with no issues whatsoever. Our guests not only raved about the food, but of how warm and kind the service team was during dinner.

They are premium catering service for what we felt like was a fair price. We can't recommend them enough- you won't be disappointed!

We had the best experience working with Preston and Julian on two welcome events for our Nonprofit's largest fundraiser. The team was extremely professional, and a joy to work with and we can't recommend them enough!

Many of our guests complimented their presentation and quality of food and we look forward to partnering again with their awesome team in the future!

The team at Barbarenõ was an absolute delight to work with and the food was one of the highlights of our wedding. SO many friends and family came up to us and said it was the best wedding food they've ever had (the grilled avocados, the peaches, the crudo, the garlic bread, the fish, the tri tip...everything basically). Barbarenõ is one of our favorite restaurants in Santa Barbara, so we were worried about how restaurant food might translate to a full blown large event, but they exceeded our expectations. They were so kind and flexible leading up to the day, including accommodating a shift from buffet style to a coursed family dinner, adding on passed appetizers, allowing us and our family to do a full tasting in their restaurant, working with us too figure out the perfect pacing and substitutions for all our dietary restrictions. On the day of, the staff was warm, personable, and attentive - it felt like we had rented out their restaurant. We're so grateful to have been able to work with the chef and whole team to make our dream wedding food a reality. If you're looking for fresh, local, and contemporary dishes that feels different from the normal wedding array, these guys are it.
