Fantastic food and staff!

The food was excellent! The menu had a lot of flexibility for food allergies as well. Debbie was very responsive, and her staff was an absolute pleasure during the event!

Made our wedding dreams come true!

While planning our March 4 wedding at the Outdoor Art Club, my husband and I knew that we wanted to have pizza as our main dish and Debbie from Forks and Fingers came through! Though it wasn't listed on their original catering menus, Debbie was incredibly open to the idea when our planner Willa Via gave her a call. We knew we made the right decision in hiring Forks and Fingers when we met Debbie during our tasting as we immediately experienced how personable she is. Our tasting was also very filling and delicious, a great sign that the food at our wedding will be amazing.

Debbie was very communicative with us and Willa throughout the planning process. She directly coordinated with the rental company and knew our venue inside and out. Debbie also helped us accommodate our vegan and gluten-free guests and bring to life our hot beverage station as we knew some of the guests would prefer tea and hot chocolate over alcohol. The only downside was that the email server the Forks and Fingers was using made it a bit difficult to track email chains with multiple people, but we made do.

Our final menu included corn clouds, crab cakes, fruit, two types of salads and four different types of pizza (two meat options, two vegetarian options), along with churros and wedding cake (cake provided by a bakery). All of the food was a hit with our guests, and we were so happy to also have leftovers to take home. Our guests also noted that Debbie's staff was very kind and responsive. Debbie also personally brought us our dinner to make sure we made time to eat. If you're looking for scrumptious food at a great price and you love working with personable responsive folks, Forks and Fingers is the caterer you need!

Above and Beyond!

Oh Forks and Fingers, there isn't enough space in this box to sing your praises! They are communicative, HELPFUL, considerate, and warm humans who make tasty food. I was fortunate enough to experience an array of pizzas at the last wedding I was a part of and they were not only delicious but they were also filling. Debbie and her crew went above and beyond to make sure the wedding went off without a hitch. From setup to breakdown, and even a 6pm phone call the night prior to discuss rain plans, F&F were with us every step of the way. 5+++ stars!

Catering MVPs

Forks and fingers catered our wedding this past weekend, and they were absolutely incredible to work with. Debbie is a complete rockstar and our wedding was flawless. She dealt with some unexpected hiccups like a true professional, and I was not aware of anything other than a perfect event. She left our venue cleaner than she found it, set up a beautiful table scape, and worked with me until the very end to make adjustments for changes and cancellations. Debbie is the nicest person, and the food was exceptional. Forks and Fingers also worked with my rental company directly to coordinate everything so I never had to, which made my backyard wedding so much easier. If I ever have an event again that needs a caterer, Debbie is now my go-to.

Debbie is the absolute best!!

We went through soooooo many caterers and tastings before we landed on F&F for our wedding. At first, we weren't impressed with the menu selections offered. But what really set Debbie apart was her willingness to work with us to achieve the menu we wanted. We had a big ask - we did an entirely vegetarian wedding! We wanted a menu that felt like real entrees and not a collection of sides, and we also wanted to offer substantial vegan options. So many caterers turned us down or had super disappointing vegetarian menus. Debbie did not give up until we were 100% happy with our menu. She was so kind and patient and accommodating with us. We found recipes online that she was willing to test out and do things she had never done before! She liked one of the dishes we invented so much she added it to her menu selection! In terms of service, Debbie's team was outstanding. We got so many complements on the food, and our guests were really impressed that we were able to pull off a truly filling and satisfying vegetarian dinner. Everything was served in a really elegant way - which was very important to us. Debbie really connected with our guests, and even joined us on the dance floor at the end of the night!! I can't say enough good things about Debbie and her team. Working with her made us want to throw another party just so we can hire her again! Highly recommend!!

Wonderful experience with Forks & Fingers

We had a wonderful experience with Debbie and her team at Forks & Fingers for our daughter's June wedding in Petaluma. We had a very specific, particular menu that needed detailed attention, different menu offerings and ingredient sourcing. Debbie managed it all with grace, expertise and creativity! She also showed great flexibility due to planning from out of state during a covid pandemic. Lots of things were up in the air and she ebbed and flowed right along with me. She was so wonderful and the food was perfect! All our guests, literally all of them, had positive comments on the food. That's the true test! Don't hesitate to work with Forks & Fingers.... they made our daughter's wedding day fabulous.

Created a special experience for us!

Debbie is amazing! We had our wedding in Marin in Sept 2019, and from my first conversation with her, I knew that I made the right decision by booking Debbie! She was on the required vendor list at our venue and I'm so glad we made the right choice!

Debbie was very responsive during the wedding planning process and went above and beyond for our cocktail hour. We wanted waffles to be a part of our day and she made individual chicken and waffles with mini syrup syringes! The rest of food was delicious and everyone was full.

I could not recommend Forks and Fingers enough - I would give her more than 5 stars if I could.

Debbie is great!

From our first email correspondence to our last, Debbie was great! She worked with my budget, my guests raved about the food, and overall, she made the process easy and stress-free. She was always responsive to my emails and calls. I would definitely contact her for an estimate and tasting!

Vegetarian Wedding

We could not be happier with choosing Forks & Fingers to cater our wedding! First of all, the food was INCREDIBLE! My husband and I are both vegetarian and wanted to serve a full vegetarian dinner at our wedding. We were a little afraid to hear grumbles from our (mostly Texan, non-vegetarian) family about not serving meat, but were pleasantly surprised that not a single guest even asked where the meat was because everything was so deliciously satisfying! In fact, many have even asked me to get the recipes, especially the melt-in-your-mouth stuffed eggplant! In addition to a quality dinner, Debbie and her staff went above an beyond in making sure everything ran smoothly and that all of our guests were taken care of...Debbie even made it her mission that we were happily fed the entire evening (which is often not the case as the bride and groom!). From day one, Debbie was kind and accommodating and made us feel like family. Thank you Forks & Fingers for helping make our day a magical one!

I want to thank you and Mark for catering our wedding on September 6th. Everything about the day was beyond any of our expectations.

I want to begin with you – your suggestions as to presentation were spot on. The presentation was exquisite, and fit the surroundings perfectly. You kept the party moving in a timely manner while I was busy just trying to say hi to everyone!

During the event, your staff was attentive to our needs, were proactive when necessary, and extremely thoughtful to me and our guests. They kept the patios picked up at all times and were discreet while doing so.

Needless to say, the food was incredible. Mark’s suggestions, especially the paella, were perfect for the event. Everything was delightfully presented perfectly cooked and delicious! Everyone raved at the wedding about the food – quality, quantity, variety. It is over a month later and we are still hearing from our guests how wonderful the food was. Several have said it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding.

John and I can’t thank you enough for all you did to ensure our day was perfect.

I look forward to working with you again.

Beth
