About
Preferred Sonoma Caterers is a chef-owned, family-run catering company rooted in Sonoma County hospitality. Founded by Owner/Chef Amber Balshaw and her husband Jim more than 35 years ago, PSC has spent decades helping couples celebrate with thoughtful food, polished service, and calm, experienced event support.
Amber’s love of cooking still drives the menus, keeping the food fresh, seasonal, and full of care. After years of planning weddings and events, she knows how to pair creative ideas with the practical timing and flow that make a celebration feel effortless.
Today, Amber and Jim are joined by their niece and business partner, AnnieLaurie, who brings years of event planning and management experience to the team. Together, they lead a staff that understands a great wedding is about more than what is on the plate. It is about making guests feel welcomed, keeping the day moving smoothly, and helping each couple feel confident and cared for from start to finish.
