Wedding at Limoniera Ranch

Working with Teri, Jocelyn, Jason, and the Plated Events team was a wonderful experience. They took the time to make our wedding at Limoniera Ranch a success. From the initial consult, the tasting, to the appetizer/dinner, they made sure everything ran smoothly.

We had 2 vegetarians on our invite list, and the staff made sure to remember their requests. Each of our guests commented on how good the food was and everything came out promptly on time. We can go on and on about how wonderful the team is but here is the one thing that really mattered to me most:

I am sure that this team has a mountain of experience in the number of successful weddings they've executed vs. us who had zero experience. It would be understandable if they would have treat us like newcomers and steer us in a direction or second-guess our decisions/opinions. However, the team at Plated Events never once made us feel small based on any of our requests, however big or small. It is clear that this is confident team that will execute while always prioritizing the customer voice. This is what I loved the most about working with Plated Events.

Thank you for being a part of our special day.

Delicous food and awesome presentation!

When my Husband and myself attended our tasting appointment with Plated Events by Jason, our expectations were blown out the water! It was difficult to narrow our selections because everything was so tasty and cooked perfectly. We did finally decide on the orange cinnamon fajitas and barbacoa as the main entrees. Our guests expressed their pleasure with the quality and savoriness of all the dishes we chose. Would highly recommend for all your catering needs. Reasonably priced and well worth the money!

Organized, responsive and personalized comprehensive service!

Plated Events catered our recent wedding ceremony at Serra Cross Park in Ventura, and cocktail hour and reception at the San Buenaventura Mission. The food and service were fantastic and we received many compliments from our guests! They were accommodating to our specific menu requests, very responsive, provided lots of helpful guidance, and were reasonably priced. The bar service was great too and helpful during the planning process. In addition to catering and bar service - they did so much more! They were our main point of contact for our ceremony and reception site, and provided guidance to our wedding planner and vendors for virtually all of our needs. Teri, Jocelyn and the entire team made us feel very at-home and special from the first step to the very last. We felt very taken care of - thank you! We all had a blast and memories for a lifetime.

Amazing Catering!

My husband and I recently got married at Limoneira Ranch, and had Plated Events do the catering for our wedding. The food was OUTSTANDING. We had a wide variety for all of our guests and everyone told us after that they loved the food. I was a little worried about a few guests with dietary allergies, but Plated Events assured us that they would take care of those guests and it wouldn't be a problem. I definitely recommend booking with Plated Events, and I especially recommend the stuffed mushrooms! ; )

Amazing food and service!

My wife and I chose Plated Events as our wedding caterers and OMG we could not be happier with the incredible food and service they provided! At roughly 40$ per person the price was half of what other caterers are charging, and the quality, presentation and service were impeccable! We would have gladly paid 80-100$ a plate (if we had the budget for it) for the quality of food provided. I am honestly a bit baffled about how we received such an amazing product and stellar service for such a modest price. We had a fun time tasting different dishes at our tasting and the chefs were great with helping us decide which dishes would best suit our tastes and our guests. They detailed how they would cater to our vegan guests as well. We had lumpia rolls, a wonderful antipasto platter and carne asada tacos as appetizers, and for dinner we had chicken fajitas, tri-tip, stuffed portobello mushrooms, mashed potatos, asparagus, and grilled focaccia bread! YUM! The staff was AMAZING. The bartender was well prepared and efficient, the cocktails came out looking and tasting great and she had a wonderful and jovial personality which was a joy for me and all of our guests. The wait staff was happy and smiling, and made their rounds ensuring that our guests were well fed and tended too. During the dinner service, they helped my aunt who walks with a cane so that she wouldn't need to stand in line at the buffet. They were very attentive to my wife and I especially, checking on us to see if we needed drinks, food, cake, etc. I highly recommend Plated Events to everyone, they really hit a home run with our wedding and I am so glad that we chose them.

The best part of our wedding!

Plated Events was the absolute best choice for our wedding. Teri was an absolute dream to work with and her counterpart Jocelyn was amazing. Between the both of them, I never questioned or doubted what was happening for our wedding. This isn't just a catering company - they are far beyond that. They helped with so much and made the process so smooth.

From the very first email, I felt at ease with Teri and the team. They treated my wedding as if it was their own and I can not thank Plated Events enough. It truly was a dream and it's because of them that my wedding was magical.

Delicious and amazing!

Plated Events catered our wedding at Limoneira Ranch and we were so happy with them! Food was INCREDIBLE- it was hard to narrow down options during our tasting because it was all good. Austin took care of everything the night of and made sure our glasses were always full and was so accommodating. All of the servers were great and on top of things as well. Teri and Jocelyn were so easy to work with- quick to get back to emails and answering any questions we had. Definitely recommend!

Best Day Ever!

The staff at Plated Events was very easy to work with. Teri was quick to reply to emails, Austin and the rest of the staff were very helpful on the day of, Tim was a superstar and ran our bar like a champ, and best of all, the food was absolutely delicious! There are tons of options to choose from for the menu - we loved what we picked and felt it went perfectly with our style and with the rustic feel of the venue. Plated Events helped make our wedding the best day of our lives, and we highly recommend them.

Food was amazing!

The tasting was so hard as we had so many great options to pick from! The food was amazing the day of! Salad was plated quite quickly and the buffet style was also done fairly quick - no backed up lines.

Delicious!

Working with Plated was so great! During the planning process, they were always so responsive and accommodating--they even made sure that everything was gluten free for our wedding! All of our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was, which is rare for wedding food! The staff were very friendly and professional the day of and we couldn't have been happier working with Plated!
