We had the most amazing event of our life with Murray Cruickshank Catering and Consulting. Our wedding took place on a Saturday evening and we had booked out the San Francisco City Hall. We could not have been happier with the stellar service that Gemma & Murray provided. They were the horizontal layer and glue that provided the foundation for the rest of our vendors. The level of creativity to design phases of our wedding, the level of discipline to be on top of items and submit legal paperwork, permits, and approvals were unparalleled. I will let the photos speak for themselves. And of course by far the main highlight of our event was the food!

Murray’s craftsmanship for the way he presents and creates his food is a GIFT. He has the ability to harness all the diversity cultures and bring to you what you please the most. Murray is a true chef and if you have the opportunity to work with this vendor company you will not be disappointed. My mom grew up in Taiwan and she was even impressed by the authenticity of the flavors Murray is able to create. For another kick, we had a partly vegan menu. Some of our guests thought they were enjoying cream cheese but little did they know most of items did not have dairy!

Bar for Quality:

To be on the approved vendor list for San Francisco City Hall already hits a high bar. My husband and I scoured the entire approved vendor list. We investigated and researched every single approved vendor. And of course Murray Cruickshank Catering and Consulting came out on top. We had our wedding canceled twice due to COVID so we had the quantity of time to work with them for a total of 4 years. With quantity time comes great understanding of quality of time. It truly has been so amazing to work with them.
