Iva Lee’s Catering was just great service & food for our outdoor June wedding!
They had to build out their kitchen, and were all ready to go & hidden from sight when the first guests arrived!

They had plenty of staff to serve the delicious Pan Seared Salmon (with Tomato Herb Beurre Blanc over White Truffle Risotto with Blustered tomatoes & Wilted Spinach) and the Manhattan Steak with a Cognac Peppercorn Sauce (with CreamyMashed Potatoes & Asparagus) without anyone waiting between courses! The guests commented on the generous portion size.

They also served 2 types of very tasty tray-passed Hors D’Oeuvres during cocktail hour. The bar included two Fun signature drinks and a fine selection of other brands. They also offered a complimentary Champagne Toast and continuous wine service at the table. It was all very elegant!

Iva Lee’s really made our day special. The guests were happily surprised that they could get a meal of this quality delivered to them seamlessly in the middle of an expansive green garden setting- It was like magic!

Sincerely,
Lora and William Stoll

Iva Lees catering was incredible for our wedding! Everyone raved about the food and it was so delicious! The serving staff and bartenders were incredible and made sure that everyone was taken care of, even during pictures. The package options were reasonable and have options for everyone. We are so happy we chose Iva Lees as our caterer!

We chose Iva Lee’s to cater our recent July wedding and our guests had nothing but rave reviews of the food. I barely remember our food tasting, as we had to postpone once due to Covid, but we remember our choices tasting great, but you rarely hear “wedding food” to be delicious but this time, the food was EXCELLENT according to our guests— from appetizers during cocktail hour on to dinner. The chicken and salmon were tender and juicy, the “creamy” mash potatoes lived up to its adjective! Everything was delicious.

The whole team, particularly, Miya was super helpful and very responsive during the whole planning process especially since we had to rent out everything for our wedding (it was not included with the venue). Nobody ever really remembers wedding food when they attend weddings. But thankfully, our guests will! Thanks to Iva Lee’s amazing catering.

I'm so happy I went with Iva Lee's Catering. I had quotes from several other caterers but the value of Iva Lee's can't be beat. The prices are so reasonable, food tasted great, and portions were appropriately sized (I hate tiny cocktail appetizers!!!). I should also mention Iva Lee's also offers Day of Coordination, which is super affordable and efficient to pair with catering services. Miya, the food and beverage manager, was very responsive and accommodating throughout the planning. The staff was friendly and their service was ON POINT on the day of. Food was served and empty drinks/trash picked up in a timely manner. Maybe my favorite part is their exceptional bar service. They had a smart cocktail hour strategy: signature drinks, beers, and champagne were tray-passed as soon as the ceremony was over. They executed my instructions for my craft cocktail beautifully and managed to scale it up to be served in large quantities. And the bartenders hustled... throughout the entire night, there was never really a significant line for the bar. Amazing!

Iva Lee’s was such a fantastic caterer for our wedding! The options and service we got for what we paid were so much better than other nearby caterers we looked at. The team, especially Miya Carew, were so professional and responsive and easy to work with. They gave us super detailed proposals at every step, so we knew exactly what we were ordering and paying for, which helped us stay organized. Plus, they were really great with accommodating our needs and helping us find the right package / meal combination for our special day. On the actual day, the whole team was helpful, friendly, and super on it with accommodating guests’ allergies and food restrictions. Plus, the food was delicious! We were so excited after having our tasting, and the food did not disappoint. Our guests loved our family-style meal and all the different sides we offered. I would absolutely recommend Iva Lee’s to anyone getting married in Orange County! They know their stuff, the food and drinks are top-notch, and they help make the wedding planning process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Miya was incredible to work with from our initial meeting to day of. She was easy to work with and made sure that all of our requests were handled. We had our wedding at Casa Romantica and it was flawless. Miya and her team executed food, bar and rentals flawlessly. Three days before our wedding she helped us coordinate a tent because of the expected rain (and it did rain so thank goodness we were all set!). Everyone is still talking about the food, from the appetizers which were devoured to the salad and steak/salmon/ravioli for dinner. All of the staff was incredibly attentive to not only close family but everyone in attendance. We would choose Iva Lee’s over and over again!

Loved Iva Lee's! The food and staff were excellent! They catered my daughters wedding and our guests raved about them! Big shout out to Miya for also coordinating the wedding! She made the day flawless!

Iva Lee's catering was beyond 5 stars!!!! We were so impressed during our tasting however on our wedding day we were blown away by the presentation and quality of food served to our 100+ guests. From the tray passed hors d'oeuvres to the main entrée everything was perfection! There is not one thing we would change if we had to do it over again. The entire catering staff was on point and couldn't ask for better service. Bartenders were remembering and anticipating guests orders, waiters and waitresses were so attentive to all guests needs....honestly flawless service!! Literally every guest that night and/or days following have raved about the food, drinks and service Iva Lee's provided. We can't thank Iva Lee's enough for catering our wedding and making our day special!

Miya from Iva Lee's was our coordinator, do your self a favor and book her....now!!!!! Talk about being on top of her game, literally Miya is the best! I ended up planning my wedding in less than 3 months and Miya made it seem like a walk in the park. Our day was absolutely perfect and we have Miya to thank for that!!! Miya is so organized, easy going, does everything with a smile and has somehow mastered being 5 steps ahead of everything. I can not say enough great things about her and we are so grateful as Miya planned and executed our perfect wedding!! Thank you for everything Miya!

We hired Iva Lee's for catering and day-of coordination for our Casa Romantica wedding. They also took care of the rentals through Signature Party Rentals. Miya was the best coordinator we could have asked for! She was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and always very responsive. With her help, planning a wedding from out of state wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be. It was also incredibly convenient to have a single company handle our food, drinks, rentals, and coordination.

The day of, several of our immediate family members and bridal party commented on how well Miya directed everything. And, the food was delicious, as many of our guests let us know! Highly recommend for their great service and high quality food. Thanks again to Miya and the Iva Lee's team! My husband and I look forward to visiting and enjoying the restaurant when we're back in the San Clemente area.

Iva Lee's did the catering for my wedding at Casa Romantica in April 2017. Their food was delicious! The tasting was so fun and they truly listened to our feedback and made the food, drinks, and appetizers at our wedding the best! Heather was excellent at responding and answering any questions I had!
