Impeccable service and food
Bethany and team were amazing! We held a 5-course dinner with wine pairings for our wedding and they knocked it out of the park. They created a beautiful custom menu based on our story and created appetizers that were fun and playful. They executed on site and used fresh ingredients that shined through. On top of that, the service was amazing. The presentation of the dish was beautiful and they captivated the audience by sharing their inspiration behind each dish. The servers were fun to engage with during dinner, creating a warm and inviting enviroment, from bartender / somm, to servers, to chefs. We felt like they were part of our group. I cannot wait to have a reason to work with them again for another event!!

Book them!
La Pera is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. We used them to cater our wedding for 126 people, and they were an absolute dream to work with. From making suggestions through both tastings (we booked a 2nd one to try more entrees), and being extremely flexible with people's dietary needs (celiac, dairy free, etc), they were so helpful and kind throughout the planning process. On top of that, the food is EXCEPTIONAL. We loved how unique their flavors and plating was, and I still drool thinking about the Cava + Carrot Petit Filet. We had several wedding guests come up to us to say that we've ruined wedding meals for them, because nothing would ever be better than this one. I sincerely cannot recommend them enough

La pera is the best!
We cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible service provided by La Pera. I would give them 10 stars if I could!! They came in at the last hour after we were impacted by Royal Fig's closure, and immediately got us in for a tasting, answering any and all questions with patience and expertise.
La Pera's responsiveness and willingness to accommodate all allergies were outstanding. Everything was clearly marked during passed appetizers so guests know what was included. They went above and beyond to make special gluten-free appetizers just for me, the bride, which was such a thoughtful touch. And let's not forget the food and cocktails—they were nothing short of incredible! Being from the northeast, incredible food was a MUST at our wedding and the La Pera team knocked it out of the park. Not only do they have unique and differentiated menu offering, every bite was so flavorful and wowed us.
Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was. We did a full service dinner with hibiscus chicken & braised short-rib with a side of guajillo mashed potatoes and both entrees were some of the best food we've ever eaten.
Their team truly put our minds at ease during a stressful time. Planning full-service catering for 100 people within just 45 days seemed seamless under their expert guidance. The staff was very friendly and made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. We are so grateful and happy that we found La Pera to cater our wedding and can't recommend them enough!!

Magical Wedding Masterpiece
Beth and her team at La Pera were, in a word, astounding. From the moment we met at the tasting, we could tell they were going to take the time to create something custom and unique for our wedding. We felt that she listened to our needs and was very easy and flexible when we wanted a different option or needed to change something. On the day of, her team was very efficient with their time and were very willing to work around our venue's needs in regards to set up. The staff was very caring and attentive to our guests, and it was apparent that they put a lot of love into their work. The overall presentation of our food was stunning, and guests could not stop complimenting the food. We will be dreaming about that meal for the rest of our lives! Beth was a wonderful person to work with for such a stressful occasion, as she made it easy and comfortable to make decisions and work through various options. I would recommend La Pera a thousand times over due to their incredible service they provide. It is clear they have a lot of love for what they do! Cheers. :)

La Pera is La-mazing!
Their service is top-notch and their food is down right indulgent. La Pera is always supportive to my event planning team and appropriately reactive to the inevitable changes that occur on event day. During the planning process, their team was friendly and accommodating. As a professional in the events industry, I couldn't recommend them more! Choose La Pera as your event / wedding caterer!

Spectacular food and first-class service! Very adaptable to dietary needs.
La Pera were the masterminds behind creating and delivery the most extraordinary gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free menu for our Laguna Gloria wedding. Every one of our guests were completely floored by the catering and bar and still can’t stop telling us how much they loved it (especially the prickly pear paloma!). They went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary needs with such ease and style. The food was spectacularly flavorful, original, and satisfying (e.g. chili-rubbed salmon, paella, brisket bolinho). The honey lavender goat cheese balls went so fast that our photographer only got a picture of the toothpicks! La Pera’s full-service staff handled every aspect of our reception seamlessly and gracefully. We would work with them again in a heartbeat!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
