Outstanding service and Delicious food

DJ's Catering was absolutely delicious and we highly recommend them. DJ's was the catering company that came with our wedding venue, Casi Cielo Vineyards. They have so many options for a variety of budgets from buffet service with even more options for that all the way to a full plated meal service. We opted for a plated service with duet entrees and a late night snack. We had the Filet Mignon and Tuscan Chicken breast with Roasted Vegetables and the smashed potatoes, we also had a vegetarian option that was a Penne pasta. The food was phenomenal. So many guests came up to us the day of and complimented how they had two entrees and how everything was delicious. We also had the late night snack option, which was pizza because our venue had a pizza oven, and our guests thought that was one of the smartest thing they have ever seen. Again the pizza was bomb! The bar was also a hit. Everyone said the drinks were delicious and the bartenders were super friendly and helped make the night a success. We highly recommend DJ's catering whether it be for a wedding or anything else, delicious and very memorable!

Absolutely Loved the Food!

DJs is an excellent choice for wedding catering. We worked with Doug and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The food prepared by DJs was absolutely delicious - a lot of our guests told us that it was the best wedding food they ever had (and we totally agree!). From the tasting to the wedding day, the entire DJs staff was very friendly and efficient. We would recommend DJs catering to anyone looking for a high quality wedding caterer.

One of the BEST Vendors to hire for your wedding day (and any special event you have)!!

Selecting DJ’s California Catering to cater our wedding was one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding day! Doug and his team understand how important your wedding day is and pay attention to all the details that matter to you! Doug worked with my husband and I to create a menu that allowed for our favorite foods to be present (mine being pasta, his being potatoes), while including other delicious food that was allergen-friendly but could easily be enjoyed by all of our guests! We were very pleased with the quality of the food the day of and that our guests went back for seconds and thirds. While the food was incredible, their staff was just as fantastic! They made sure to attend to all of our guests and that they were well taken care of! My husband and I also appreciated the special attention that the lead caterer of that night gave us, making sure we were well fed and had our favorite cocktails on hand at all times. DJ’s Catering has an incredibly professional, friendly, and personable staff that will make you want to go back to them to cater all of your events again and again! 😊 You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you again Doug and Team for ALL you did for us and our special day!
