Delicious food, great to work with!

We booked Ella early on in our wedding process and were so happy with our choice. Ella has so much experience and offered great recommendations on who to work with and how she would do things. She worked very closely with us on the menu and even on general wedding plans and layouts. The food was amazing and all our guests were commenting on how delicious everything tasted! Ella made one of the best salads we've ever had and we've been trying to recreate it ever since (hello arugula, blackberries, goat cheese and every other kind of veggie magic...) Selecting the menu together was collaborative and inspiring, and every. single. dish. was amazing. Ella's team also did the day-of setup and take down, and their service was impeccable. All-around amazing job!!!

AMAZING food at an affordable price!!

Ella's food was absolutely delicious and her staff are so friendly and kind! We got so many compliments on the food at our wedding and would highly recommend her for any event!! We knew instantly when we tried her food at the Cocoanut Grove Wedding Expo that we wanted her at our wedding. First of all, as a Santa Cruz local, I loved that she used local organic ingredients. Secondly, so many other vendors jack their prices up when you say the word "wedding", but Ella keeps it completely reasonable and even offers money saving tips in other areas - such as using her mismatched vintage plates, compostable cups at the bar, or returning the alcohol you don't use. Ella herself is such a gem and so easy to get along with. It was slightly challenging to get a hold of her at times prior to the wedding as I know she also runs a restaurant and is incredibly busy, but has recently hired a logistics coordinator so she can focus on what she does best - making delicious food!
