Great food at reasonable prices

For our venue at the Bowers Museum, the preferred vendor is Patina Catering. We opted for an additional appetizer which they accommodated at a reasonable increase. All the Hors d'oeuvre were delicious and the guests finished them faster than they could be served. We went with a plated course meal and they have several packages. We got several compliments from guests on the quality of the plates they were served. We’d highly recommend Patina Catering if they work with your venue, or would recommend if they don’t.

Patina catered our Descanso Gardens wedding with a delicious custom buffet menu (chips/guacamole, three types of tacos with vegan sides, sangria, aguas frescas) and served our specialty dessert. They were very responsive to our needs, with helpful suggestions during the planning process, such as providing spa water at the ceremony so that guests could beat the heat and reception scheduling coordination to ensure that everyone was fed promptly without long lines. Always enthusiastic, and very good listeners! We were pleasantly surprised during post-ceremony family photos when they provided us with chips, guacamole and water because we would not otherwise have the cocktail hour snacks. No complaints! We also had the opportunity to taste the standard menu - also delicious! Thank you, Benjamin and Leticia!

Food was seriously delicious! Guests could not stop raving about how great it was. We chose to do a buffet option over being served and they handled it seamlessly with no problems whatsoever. Highly recommend their services and food!

We wanted unique food for our wedding and Patina did a great job giving us what we wanted. The food was so delicious and our guests are still talking about it!! One of our guests even said, "From now on, I'm only going to Patina catered weddings."

Our wedding was held at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, and Patina Catering is the exclusive caterer for the site. They did an amazing job, and we are so lucky to have had them provide all the food and drink! The food was absolutely delicious! Not just for “wedding food,” but it would not have been out of place at a 3-4 star restaurant. Food is incredibly important to me and my husband and was a priority (believe when I say this - my husband and I plan our vacations to eat at some of the country's best restaurants). Our wedding cake was a disappointment - tasted great but did not look good. But as a testament to Patina's service, they offered a full refund without being asked as they recognized that the cake was not to their usual standards. The service staff at the wedding also deserve the highest kudos. Many of our guests commented on the outstanding service, the best of any wedding that they had attended.

We also used Patina to cater our post-wedding brunch at Cafe Pinot. Again, the food and service were wonderful. Their outdoor patio was the perfect place to enjoy the last few moments of the weekend with our family and friends.

Natalie was the Sales Manager at the Disney Concert Hall, and Jolene was my contact at Cafe Pinot. Both are incredibly professional, detail-oriented, and responsive. They are genuinely warm and caring people. Natalie and Jolene were accomodating with special requests and budget limitations. Their service was stellar!

If you have the opportunity, please use Patina Catering for your wedding! They are pricey but reasonable for what we received - you do get what you pay for!

I got married at the AT&T Center in Downtown LA. Patina Catering is the only caterer there. They did a fabulous job and the food was quite yummy. A little pricey, but overall I was very happy with the results.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I ended up changing my venue to the AT&T center two months before my wedding and Patina Catering bent over backwards to help and work with me.

Patina was so easy to work with and responded to all of our needs. Our Patina coordinator was organized, helpful and very knowledgeable. Having good food was a MUST for us and Patina delivered! Many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they ever had!

Initially, I was concerned about Patina at Walt Disney Concert Hall. There was confusion with our date (which did eventually play out in our favor) and there was a high turn over so we had three different event coordinators, which got very confusing, and made me nervous that things would not come together on the wedding day. However, once we started working with Rob I knew we were in good hands. He addressed all of our concerns, he was responsive and completely professional. He was flexible when we wanted to make changes, and I really felt like he was on our side, trying to help us have the best wedding possible.

On the day of, I could not have asked for a more perfect day. The staff was amazing. They were so nice and kept everything running smoothly. I loved the food, we got so many compliments from our guests! I am so happy with our decision to work with Patina and have our event at WDCH.
