Katie Powers Catering was easily one of the biggest highlights of our wedding at Cuffey's Cove Ranch in Elk, CA. Just WOW - the food was all impeccably executed, creative, and seasonal. We trusted Katie with the menu and she delivered the best wedding food we could have dreamed of! From an incredible oyster bar to the most delicious family-style dinner, everything was perfect. We had so many compliments on the food from all of our guests. Katie's staff were all just the best, making sure we were able to try everything and had plenty to eat the whole night. My only regret is not being able to experience this meal without the distraction of our wedding! ;) If only Katie could come cook for us back at home in NYC.

Don't hesitate to book Katie Powers. We're so grateful to our planner (Zoë Braga) for recommending her. Thank you, Katie!

I wish I could be friends with Katie Powers, not only is she an amazing chef, she's a wonderful person. The first time I met her, she was singing and dancing to Whitney Houston in her kitchen while we were touring the Headlands Center for the Arts, and that sealed the deal. While we were initially nervous that we wouldn't be able to try her food before booking or the wedding, our planner (Andria Leigh Events) assured us that she was the best and we were not disappointed.

To set the stage - food is very important to me and my husband. Our hobbies are pretty exclusively cooking and eating at restaurants. We both have worked in food for a few years. Our friends and family might call us "foodies" but we hate that word. They had really high expectations, one even said "your wedding will have the best food of any wedding I ever go to...if i'm invitied" (she was not. awk).

When we met with Katie, she asked what food was important to us, and described her local ethos. She had options for the season and was open to tweaking them to our tastes. The way she talked about food, we knew this would go well. We set the menu in a 30 minute conversation, made a few tweaks in the following weeks, and then waited a few months for the big day to come.

Our menu included crab hushpuppies, oysters, lamb sirloin with meyer lemon salsa verde, wild mushroom risotto. She even recreated a favorite dish of ours, World Peace from State Bird Provisions. (Some guests drank 5. maybe the groom too.)

Everyone on staff was fantastic as well and so kind. Katie really made our night special.

How lucky are we that Katie Powers is our venue's in-house caterer?!? She is an artist, exceptionally dedicated to creating local, sustainable, and delicious meals. Although she doesn't provide taste testing, Katie’s descriptions and enthusiasm while building our menu together at our in-person meeting was infectious, giving us the confidence that it would be amazing... and it was! We opted to have our meal served family-style which really enhanced the sense of community and appreciation for the meal. It is also very special to have an in-house caterer cook from her own kitchen along with her experienced and friendly staff. The service, artistry, and flavors had everyone swooning and diving in for seconds. And our wedding photos of her food are stunning!

Now that we're married, we plan to become members at Headlands Center for the Arts... yes, to support the local arts, but also so we can attend events when's Katie's cooking!
