Raena C. Married on 07/16/2021It was a pleasure!
Our experience with Personal Touch Dining was great! They provided our wedding reception with the cocktail hour appetizer spread, dinner entrees and bar package. The menu tasting experience was awesome. Annalisa and Darcie made us feel so welcomed in their space and provided us with all the details we needed to make informed decisions about our special day. The food was great both at the tasting and on the night of. My husband and I were able to scarf down some food at the reception and we are so glad we did!Personal Touch Dining's reply:
Thank you, Raena! I am so glad to hear that you had a wonderful experience! We had so much fun celebrating with you.

Abigail G. Married on 09/04/2021Gorgeous Views and Delicious Food
Harbor View Loft was the perfect choice venue for our wedding. It met and exceeded our expectations. The food was all delicious and the staff were on top of everything 120%. It did get toasty inside at the reception (summer wedding), but all the outside space/tables/games meant our guests could walk outside to cool off and look at the view. Overall, we are SO glad we chose this amazing venue for our special day that we will remember for a lifetime. Our guests raved about the food and the views, and I can't wait to see all of our amazing pictures with the water and downtown at sunset as the backdrop. Thank you so much!!!Personal Touch Dining's reply:
Hi Abby! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review! I loved working with you :)
Best wishes!

Sarah K. Married on 08/14/2021Best Catering in San Diego
Personal Touch Dining is hands down the best catering company in San Diego. Annalisa was AMAZING to work with. They catered our DIY wedding at the San Diego Botanic Garden and it was perfect. The food was delicious and the staff was kind and easy going. They also offer rentals through them. For example, I rented terracotta table runners.
Personal Touch Dining's reply:
THANK YOU, Sarah! I am still obsessing over your tablescape and color scheme. I loved working with you and am so thankful that we could be apart of such a fun day.
xoxo,

The name says it all and they should add 'Perfectly Done' to the end! The entire team at PTD is awesome at what they do. You will only have the best wedding ever with them on your team! Andy Owner The Groove
I am always excited when I find out I'm working an event with Personal Touch Dining. The food is fantastic, and as importantly, the service is always wonderful. Thinking as a photographer, they're up to date with styles and trends, and I notice how they keep a low profile with the kitchen and a clean appearance through the event, all adding up to better pictures for you! I highly recommend Personal Touch for your wedding or event.
Delicious, experienced and amazing! Such a treat to work with everyone at Personal Touch Dining-- they always have everything in order and running smoothly with great customer service, happy smiles and amazing food - what more could you ask for?
