Farm-to-Table Perfection and Incredible Service

Michael and Daniel were absolutely fabulous to work with! From our very first phone call, they brought such fun, sweet, positive energy, and that carried through the entire planning process. They were truly a joy to collaborate with, and their pricing is incredibly reasonable for the level of quality they deliver.

I loved their farm-to-table approach, and the fact that they were already so familiar with our venue made everything feel effortless. Planning a destination wedding all the way from Florida to Big Sur could have been stressful, but they made this part of the process an absolute breeze.

One thing that really stood out was how present and friendly they were with all of our guests. They were so kind during the buffet service—everyone felt welcomed, and their customer service was exceptional. Our guests could not stop raving about the braised beef and the desserts… truly outstanding!

You cannot go wrong with MacDonald Farm. They were a dream to work with, and I cannot wait to share photos once we get them. Michael and Daniel, thank you both for being so genuine, kind, and talented. We are incredibly grateful you were part of our big day!

June Wedding

Michael and Daniel were the absolute best decision I made when I booked my wedding. They were an absolute joy in all phases of my wedding - from planning phone calls to the clean up. My only regret from my wedding was that I didn't get to chit-chat with them more. Usually wedding food is so/so, but the food at my wedding was amazing. People were asking for recipes! They went above and beyond in every aspect; even the presentation was beautiful! When I came out and saw my wedding cake they made for me, I started tearing up it was so pretty. If you want unbelievably good food at amazing prices with the best service you could ever ask for, go book MacDonald Farm right now!
