Continental Caterer

I am so thankful for Continental Caterers, and the fantastic job that they did at our wedding, that I feel moved to write this review. We hired Continental Caterers for our wedding at Thomas Fogarty Winery held last week, and it was one of the best decisions we made.

Continental are true professionals. They helped guide us through the process when it came to food options, layout (for the ceremony, reception, dance floor), and much more. They have an extensive menu, and they were incredibly patient and helpful as we narrowed down our choices. Furthermore, they have monthly tastings, which gave us the ability to try a wide variety of food at their offerings.

The day of, there was not one single issue. None. Our guests complimented the entrees and the appetizers, as well as the service/attentiveness. They also displayed our desserts for us, in a very nice and elegant display. At the end of the night, they delicately packed all of our items for us, and they even saved the open bottles of wine for us (which came in handy at our bbq the next day).

If you want a caterer that knows what they're doing, and not have to worry about them, I would highly recommend Continental. They know how to execute, and we did not have to worry about a thing.

We're so glad we chose Continental to cater our wedding. We worked with Hristo and the manager for our event was Cynthia. We attended two tastings (one regular and one vegetarian) in order to choose our menu. Hristo helped us to finalize the menu, figure out the floorplan, and coordinate with the rental company. His experience with our venue (Gamble Garden in Palo Alto) was extremely helpful.

Before the wedding, they let us bring items to their warehouse to load on the delivery truck (drinks, favors, games, decorations). This saved us a lot of time and hassle on the wedding day. The day before the wedding, Continental met the rental company at the venue to coordinate the load-in and set up the outdoor lights and heaters. On the day of the wedding, they arrived at the venue on time and worked very efficiently. Everything was set up on time and looked great. During the event, the serving staff was very professional and friendly. I really appreciated that they set aside appetizers for us to enjoy once we were done taking photos - we were starving! During dinner, the serving staff was very attentive and made sure we had whatever we needed. All of the food was delicious and the guests raved about it. There was more than enough food, and the staff packed up the leftovers for us to take home.

I appreciated that Continental was upfront about their pricing, their contract was clear, and they don't charge extra fees like cake cutting or corkage. I was very impressed by their food and their service for our event.

Continental was AMAZING! Mike helped us with everything. Mike even fixed my bow tie, which I had been wearing upside down! The food was the best wedding food most our guests had ever tasted. This is despite the fact that we had no power at the venue! Mike quickly shuffled the timing around and somehow managed to serve hot food to 180 people outside at a park. Continental poured the alcohol that we provided, set up many of our decorations and signs, and ensured that everything went without any problems. We really appreciated how warm and professional Mike and Paul were. All of the staff was very friendly at the event. There were only minor details that were overlooked. Given that we lost power without warning right before the appetizer service, Continental did the best job! 5 stars all the way!
