Patrick and the entire Pure Joy Catering went above an beyond for our wedding!

I cannot thank the entire team of Pure Joy Catering for the awesome experience we had with them for our Wedding in October 2024. All of our guests loved the food that was offered. We did buffet style and had about 175 people there. Everyone said how efficient the dinner went and how wonderful the food tasted. From the presentation of our food to the planning of our wedding menu everything went so seamlessly. I would 100% recommend using Pure Joy catering for any event!

HIGHLY recommend Pure Joy for any event!

Pure Joy catered our wedding and we absolutely loved working with them. From a beautiful tasting in advance, to the night of our actual wedding, we couldn't have been happier with them. The food not only tastes incredible but the way they display it all is stunning - so beautiful! Their staff was wonderful throughout the entire night and we received tons of compliments from our guests with the food selection. The appetizers are to die for, good luck choosing just a few because you will want them all!! Thank you Pure Joy for making our day that much more special.

Great Experience

Pure Joy catered my wedding in July 2023 at the Carousel House in Santa Barbara. The experience from start to finish was incredible. Annie was very responsive with our email communications. She gave great input when we were menu planning and was very accommodating of our preferences. We had a tasting prior to our wedding and the food blew us away. They even surprised us with an off menu dessert which we loved so much we added it to our menu. I honestly still think about that dessert every now and then. The staff onsite were pleasant and our guests were happy with the food. I did notice service ran behind schedule during the reception but that did not change my impression overall. I am happy to recommend Pure Joy for anyone looking for a solid team!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Pure Joy is one of my favorite catering companies to work with. They make the planning process nice and smooth and they produce amazing events. Lynette and her team really go the extra mile to make sure each client is well taken care of. I trust that an event will run smooth when Pure Joy is part of the team.
