Best Caterer you will find!!

Ashley is simply AMAZING. We weren't sure if our event was too big (150 guests) for La Dolce but she really impressed us with the quality and beauty she maintained with the food and service. The passed hors d'oeuvres during our cocktail hour were stunning, complete with beautiful presentation with floral garnishes (and delicious). Our guests were raving about how much they elevated the event. Ashley was so kind and helpful when menu planning for our dinner, always wanting to make sure everything was perfect and reassuring us constantly. She was easy to get in touch with and so reliable. Our guests loved the high-end dinner, which was very important to us and she pulled through on any last minute favors, all for a very very reasonable price. Thank you so much Ashley, we are so lucky to have met you!

Highly recommend La Dolce Catering!

I used La Dolce catering for my wedding and I had such a great experience working with Ashley. She is amazing at what she does and made the whole process very easy for me. Everybody who attended my wedding raved about how delicious the food was. I wanted something unique and different, and she knew exactly what I was looking for. Lastly, her staff was incredible. They did a great job and were very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend La Dolce catering for any of your party needs if you are looking for delicious and elevated food!

La Dolce 💕

We went through the whole process with Ashley to have our wedding in Santa Ynez Ca. Unfortunately our wedding fell through in Santa ynez. We brought Ashley to the Hamptons NY for our wedding, she over saw all catering for the week, put our wedding menu together and also for the week of our wedding. I’m so thankful for her, the food and service was beyond AMAZING!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
