About

Your guest experience starts here. We are an extraordinary, full service catering and event production company focusing on you. Instead of spending our time developing pre-set menus and packages, we dedicate ourselves to spending time with clients and creating unique experiences. Our commitment to quality ingredients goes uncompromised. We utilize local organic produce whenever possible and source sustainable poultry and meat from local ranches.

We demand excellence in all we do. This reaches beyond the dining experience at your event. From the initial planning process and location site visits to how we train and develop each of our team members, we don't settle for mediocrity.

We would be honored to share a meal with you!

Delicious Food, Excellent Service

Nathaniel and his team at Contemporary knock it out of the park! They helped develop a menu that was special to our day and were open when I asked for a few changes (e.g., salad options) prior to the wedding date. Our bar service was also through Contemporary, and they did an awesome job! Thank you so much, Nathaniel!!

Best caterer ever

I can't enough good things about Contemporary Catering. My guests were SHOCKED by the professionalism and service. We had 160 guests, and it was important to us to go with a caterer of high quality food as well as service. Contemporary comes with MORE staff than most other catering companies. This makes a HUGE difference to your guests overall experience. It honestly felt like we were at a 5 star restaurant at our own wedding. The food was AMAZING, the bartenders were super fun, and no one ever had to ask for more water or wine, because a server was already there filling up their glass. Schedule a tasting with them ASAP (they book way in advance). You won't regret it.

THANK YOU Contemporary!!

Contemporary Catering satisfied not only our tastebuds, but our budget, high standards of service, and desire for culinary creativity on our wedding day.

Contemporary Catering recently catered our wedding at Cielo Farms as they were the venue’s required vendor. As Catering is a huge part of a wedding, this requirement helped us narrow down our options & we all immediately felt a weight off of our shoulders as soon as we met the staff. Rob and the whole team were incredible off the bat. They continued to deliver throughout the entire YEAR-LONG process! Rob & Elise worked with us to stay on track with our budget, and accommodate our dietary requests/restrictions. From bartenders to cooks to captains, the entire staff was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. The service was far beyond expectations. I didn’t hear a single complaint, which is hard to achieve when you are feeding 175 people! In fact we received several compliments that it was the best food our guests hav ever had at a wedding. The presentation of the appetizers and buffet was simply breathtaking. It was the dinner party of our lives, and I’m so glad we were in the hands of Contemporary Catering!

Having worked with Nace on a particularly difficult wedding - think major rainstorms the day before a huge outdoor vineyard wedding - not only did he jump right into the fray with me to help solve the logistical issues so that my food loving clients never noticed. But his team is fantastic and his willingness to go the extra mile makes Contemporary Catering that much more special.

I have had many occasion to work with Contemporary. They are amongst the best and brightest catering. Does not get much better than Nathaniel and the team.
