Professional and excellent service

We chose Le Papillon as our waitstaff and bartending service for our wedding. We were so lucky to be able to work with Tamera and her team. They answered all our questions leading up to the wedding and flawlessly prepared all our tableware and table top decorations.

We had the pleasure to see Tamera during our wedding and seeing her work with her staff was incredible. All the guests' food arrived with ease and the waitstaff were extremely professional. The food and drinks came out so quick that the guests didn't even have a chance to see the bottom of their glass of wine.

The bartender was also incredible. He was able to serve all 150 of our thirsty guests and the cocktails were on par with a high quality cocktail lounge. I highly recommend working with Le Papillon for your catering and waitstaff needs!

Above and beyond food for our wedding

We couldn't imagine anything better than what LP provided for our wedding! All the food and service is perfect and even exceeded our expectation.
We had our first tasting with them in their restaurant, it was such a great experience trying all their food options and talking with Mike. Right away we decided to book with them and there is no need to try anyone else. Not only do they offer plated service, it is also cheaper than all other caterers on our venue's list.
We were communicating with Tamera the whole time and she was very knowledgeable and responsive. She also handled the rentals for us so we have one less thing to manage. Every detail on the day is exactly as we requested.
We had a first course salad, double main course with fish and steak, and also got hors d'oeuvres, full bar service and dessert Petite Fours. Everything is beautifully presented and tasted delicious. The main dish portion is generous and there are so many dessert varieties that I couldn't eat them all. I especially like how they incorporate truffle into many dishes, tastes so good and also makes the dinner feel more luxurious. They also accommodated all our guests' special requests, and the vegetarian option is sooo good it might even be better than the regular dish.
We had a few no-show guests, and they boxed their food and gave us to take home along with snacks and wine. This way we didn't waste our money and got to enjoy our wedding food for a few more days.
We heard from so many guests about how good the food is, even those who usually don't eat this kind of cuisine. Everyone is very impressed.
It's a pity that we could only hire them once because we only have one wedding, but luckily we can still enjoy their food in the restaurant. Will definitely go there in the future to celebrate other important events.

A fine dining experience, brought to your wedding

Le Papillon was a fantastic caterer for our wedding at Nestldown in Los Gatos, CA. Unlike other catering companies, Le Papillon is actually first and foremost a beautiful upscale restaurant in San Jose. And from the beginning, they treated us like guests of honor. Our tasting was a multi-multi-multi course dinner with free wine and top tier service - a good example of what was to come. The food was excellent, from every one of the hors d'oeuvres to the mains, and their service was unmatched. This carried over beautifully to our wedding day, where even mass produced for 100 guests, the food did not skip a beat and was just as good as the day we tried it. The table service on our wedding day was as good as we’ve seen at Michelin star restaurants, everyone in black tie and serving entire tables simultaneously. Every guest felt very cared for, and LOVED the food. They were also super accommodating of dietary restrictions, marking down the guests location and delivering their specialized plate that was just as delicious as the rest of the dishes. We highly recommend Le Papillon for catering your event or wedding.
