Amazing everything! Best vendor we hired!

I know my review will sound like an ad but I have nothing bad to say about these guys! The one thing my guests still remember and rave about is the food at our wedding!

What we had: Buffet with salmon, prime rib, and tons of sides.
Food: amazing! Wish they had a restaurant.
Price: worth every penny, and they reimbursed me for people who did not show up last minute! (price per person).
Service: both owners were professional and friendly. The staff they hired to work our wedding were some of the nicest people I had ever met! I (bride) got really sick with nerves before the wedding, one of the waitresses saw me in the bathroom with my bridesmaids and brought me a tray of food and water. I mean, who does that? So nice! They also brought us a tray of appetizers when we were taking our wedding photos so we didn't miss out on the goods! (My husband still talks about the lasagna pinwheels). And they brought the bride and groom plates (with a little of everything) to our table so we did not have to wait in line with our guests. And checked on us throughout the night. Total VIP feel all night.

TIP: buy lots of disposable tupperwares and plastic bags for leftovers. Your fridge and spouse will thank you the next day when you are eating the most amazing left over food imaginable.

Mune for our wedding:

Appetizers:
Antipasto skewers with basil oil
Spinach Ricotta Lasagna Lollipops (groom's favorite)
Baked Italian focaccia bread

Dinner:
Spinach salad with goat cheese and pomegranate vinaigrette
Caesar Salad with house made croutons
Roasted red potatoes with rosemary
Vegetable Tian with Italian herbs and Parmesan
Spicy Lime baked Salmon (bride's favorite)
Roasted Prime Rib with creamed Horseradish (guest's favorite)
Dinner roll assortment with whipped herb butter

Love, Sabrina and Brandon Moore

Amazing Food & Catering Staff

I cannot say enough great things about Heather and the entire Palate team. We got married at Mountain Shadows Retreat in Foresthill, CA 5/18/2019. What we expected was a sunny spring day, and instead were hit with a cold rain storm. We had to adjust a lot of the plans and through it all Heather was flexible, supportive, and assured me that I did not need to worry about a thing. The wedding was a huge success, better than I imagined it would be. The food, the service, the table settings, the dessert display, the bar set-up. I loved it all and my guests raved about it. The food was so good. Everything from the appetizers (lasagne rolls!) to the salad and vegetables, to the trip-tip and salmon, to the desserts. Oh and even the bread and garlic-herb butter. Everything was exceptionally prepared and tasted amazing.
I highly recommend Heather, Mike and Palate. You will not be disappointed!!

Extremely Respectful Fun and Professional

We are so excited that we hired Palate Catering for our wedding. The head chef and owner, Heather Watson, is super fun, flexible, imaginative, and professional. Every interaction we had with her was beyond our expectations. She worked very hard to come up with a custom tasting menu for us and provided a complimentary tasting with no guarantee that we would hire them for our wedding. She really went above and beyond to help us. The food she served during the tasting we unique, beautifully presented, and delicious. We will gladly recommend Palate catering to anyone. Because of their skill, professionalism, and amazing personalities we know our wedding will be a complete success.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
