My husband and I hired Flora & Fauna to cater both our wedding and rehearsal dinner in May 2022 and we are still getting compliments from guests about how amazing the food was! Seriously, Flora & Fauna is the real deal; don't delay on booking them.

First of all, the food is INCREDIBLE and top-notch quality. Second of all, the whole Flora & Fauna team was so great to work with. While planning the wedding, we requested some menu modifications a few times and they were more than happy to oblige and modify the menus per our requests. They worked with us on all of the dietary restrictions we were considering (we had a lot!), and were SO kind, considerate, and accommodating with every email. We also had such a great experience doing the food tasting - it was one of our most memorable wedding planning experiences!

As for the wedding and rehearsal dinner, the whole wedding weekend their staff was prompt, efficient, friendly, and worked SO hard to ensure our guests had an amazing dining experience. I would describe our wedding reception menu as "foodie but laid-back California fare", and for the rehearsal dinner, my mother-in-law wanted a Mexican food theme and they came up with so many creative, fun, and delicious dishes to fit the theme! Their passed apps for the cocktail hour and late-night snacks were also creative and SO delicious.

The food and the smoothness of execution were important to us for our wedding because we had a 200 person guest list and I really didn't want anyone waiting in line too long or the food getting cold. It was so reassuring to know that our event was in such capable hands; I knew I wouldn't have to worry about our guests being taken care of, and Flora & Fauna surpassed all our expectations. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

I am Filipina and it was very important to me that that was represented in the food that we served at our wedding! Food is not only important in our culture, but it is important to me personally. I was scared that we weren’t going to be able to find this in SLO county, but we did! And boy did they come with their A-game! Flora and Fauna were great with their communication. Any questions I had they were able to answer. They sent us a sample menu for us to choose from. Our experience with our tasting was my favorite part of planning our whole wedding! My fiancé(husband), my parents and I were sat down to a beautiful table scape. We were served bubbling, sweet, tart, refreshing spritzers. The chef called our meal filipino-inspired. She was very humble and her food was out of this world. They served farm, fresh to table ingredients with is completely in line with our lives. Mom will always be #1, but Chef Heidi crushed it!!! Definitely some of the best Filipino-inspired food that I have ever eaten! Our guests raved about our food! And the bartenders did not disappoint either! We served a his and hers cocktail. Neither my husband or I had a chance to drink much, but our guests were never left parched! And! The next day we were able to take home all the leftovers! We served it at our very casual farewell brunch. They also made a personal bride and groom box that we were able to enjoy the night we got back from our honeymoon!

Nothing pains me more than to go to a wedding where the food is mediocre, served cold, and or overcooked...and I'm Persian so I've been to a lot of weddings. The care and attention Flora and Fauna put into serving our guests a beautiful meal with high-quality ingredients was truly amazing. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, loved the food and was ranting and raving about how amazing dinner was. And presentation was gorgeous, there were edible flowers rolled into the butter (so pretty). At our tasting, Chef Heidi surprised us with an intricate rice and tahdig (crispy Persian rice), which she had never made before and it was PERFECT. She is so freaking talented, her staff provided great service, poured balanced cocktails, and kept our guests happy. You should absolutely hire her. Worth every penny. She's a no brainer.
