FFAK was great to work with!

Kreshana is the best! She helped us coordinate our dream wedding dinner and was so responsive and organized. Even when we had a last minute mishap with one of our rentals, she responded on her day off and helped us fix the situation. FFAK was great to work with especially kreshana!

Walking down the Giles

Michelle and Sue were wonderful to work with! Feast for a King catered my daughters wedding for 220 people. The food was delicious and everyone raved about it. We had plated salad and a buffet and the guests were served and seated very fast. I would highly recommend using them. Very professional and easy to work with.

I absolutely loved everything!

I absolutely loved having the opportunity to work with Michele! From the very beginning I knew I could trust her judgment and style. She had the perfect vision for what I wanted. I told her (pretty vaguely, if I'm being honest) what I was thinking and she took it completely brought my visions to life.

My wedding at Rancho Soquel turned into an absolute dream thanks to her and my wedding coordinator, Elyse, from the Wedding Connection. I felt 100% comfortable with the two of them and knew I was in great hands. Not only were the tables/chairs/linens absolutely perfect, but the food was also amazing! Michele also would send me emails on ideas for cakes and other linen/tablescape ideas when I would present them to her. Michele answered my many emails in a timely manner.

I truly could not have asked for more and I think that she really helped our day run so much more smoothly. I would HIGHLY recommend.

Delicious & Inclusive

Feast for a King just catered our wedding this weekend, and it was fabulous. We had a crowd of 90 including carnivores, vegans, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. They delivered something delicious to everyone, and it was great hearing people say how much they appreciated being fully included.

We'd found them through a tasting event they did, and I think the thing that sold me was their vegetarian galette. One bite and I knew it was something far more satisfying and creative than the over-used grilled portabella, eggplant, and "veggie plate" that is all too often the vegetarian option.

Not only was the food incredible, but the service was absolutely first-rate. Friends, including those who have worked in food service, commented on how impressed they were with the caliber of the staff.

I can't say enough good things about Feast For A King! I was lucky to attend a tasting at the venue I had booked a week after booking it, because that made it easy to choose them! THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!! We looked at other caterers, of course, as we had a specific budget. Also, we wanted to have an awesome burger bar. Kim, the owner, worked with us to fit our budget, and helped come up with an incredibly fun and delicious menu! Michelle was incredibly helpful when we had issues with finding the table settings we wanted, and made it happen for us! Everything was perfect. Our guests raved about the amazing burger bar and delicious sides! The apps and drinks were gorgeous and so fun! Also, the staff that served and set up all the seating/tables for the ceremony and reception worked so hard! They were very nice too! We loved it so very much, and thank Feast For A King for their efforts and skills that helped make our wedding the BEST DAY EVER!!

Kim and Michelle have been an absolute pleasure to work with - they're both so responsive and extremely helpful. Leading up to the wedding day and even on the day itself they were so attentive and made sure that every detail was taken care of. I also had them help with my rentals for china, flatware, tables, etc. Everything went so smoothly and they were so open to customization.

We went with the BBQ menu, and added a bit of the thing we liked - grilled veggies and mac n cheese. We heard great things about the food, especially the bbq chicken which was so tender. We also went with to go chocolate cookies for when guests were leaving - we heard so many good things about the cookies and everyone was asking us where they came from.

Thanks again for making this day so wonderful!

We had Feast for a King cater our wedding earlier this summer, and what a great decision that was. The food was absolutely amazing, I am still hearing from my guests how delicious the food was, and that it was the "best wedding food they've ever had" (and I would have to agree, especially as we ate the leftovers the next day). Everything tasted so fresh too! The service was top notch as well, everyone was so friendly to my guests. Exceptional food, and exceptional service - you can't go wrong!

Prior to the wedding, I worked with Kim to finalize all the little details. She is truly a professional, and SO easy to work with! She was very responsive via email, and always remembered all the little details/changes we had discussed. At the catering walkthrough, she put me at ease and really demonstrated that she knew the venue inside and out, providing me a very detailed layout of where all our rentals would be. She was also very patient with me as I changed my mind a few times throughout the planning process - and was always so excited with my new ideas (which I definitely appreciated). Such an enjoyable experience working with Kim, she definitely knows what she is doing!

Thanks again Kim & team for catering my wedding! Such a memorable day, and you played a big role in that.

I had Feast for a King cater my wedding two weeks ago and everything was outstanding. We had an initial tasting and Kim worked with us to customize a menu that we loved. The food was delicious at our wedding and the dinner rehearsal, which we had them cater as well. We had their support as full-service, so were able to work through all of the many details of what was needed. Kim was amazing to work with, and made suggestions to make sure every detail was covered. With her assistance, we chose all dinnerware, glassware, special serving pieces, linens, chairs, umbrellas, and the dance floor. They even arranged to have an ice cream bar for us, working with a local shop to have specially made flavors. It was one of the many highlights. She came to our location and worked out the site plan so it was realistic and had a great flow for guests. The set up went smoothly on the day of, from what I could tell, and ultimately everything was arranged beautifully. All of the service was outstanding, and again, everything went smoothly from beginning to end. I can't express enough, my gratitude to the whole team for their hard work that created this wonderful, memorable and laid back event for us. I would absolutely work with them again.

I'd like to start this review by saying that I STILL get compliments on the wedding food... and it's been several months since my wedding.

I originally found Feast for a King online and only contacted them and another vendor. Upon meeting with Kim Santia I was sold. The presentation, the taste, the color, the professionalism... everything was amazing!! I booked my date right then and there. One of the best decisions I made!!! Kim was insanely professional, courteous, knowledgeable and just a pleasure to work with. Kim was not afraid to give me advice and I could tell she wasn't trying to sell me the world, she was definitely concerned about budget and told me when I started going crazy with my food choices. Not only this, but Kim coordinated all my tables, chairs, linens, tableware... and was so patient with me when I took FOREVER to choose my final linens. Come the day of the wedding, everything was exactly as promised!!! The food and service was perfection!! I'm pretty sure there were no leftovers either! hahaha! And the linens (which were mostly her choice) were everything I could have wanted and fit my vision perfectly!!! Thank you so much Feast for a King... and to anyone reading this.. please choose Feast for a King... you will NOT be disappointed!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
