Wonderful food and service!

The Sassy Onion team was fantastic and made our wedding dinner perfect! Our catering representative, Chelsea, was very communicative and made our planning easy. She was detailed and responsive throughout the process as we explored menu options, pricing, edits, tastings and special requests. On our wedding day, the team went the extra mile and helped us beyond serving food and were super kind to our guests. The food was priced well, tasty, and the guests loved it. Do yourself a favor and check out the coconut chicken and mac-n-cheese balls for apps, they were a hit!

Amazing food!

Sassy Onion is one of our favorite places to eat breakfast, and their catered lunches and dinners are even better! From providing all our cutlery, serving our guests, and taking care of the bar, Sassy Onion is the best (and yummiest) one stop shop in town. We worked with Sara and she was always on the ball and very responsive to our many questions. You won't regret hiring them for your wedding!

We worked with Greyson at Sassy Onion and he was great! He was always very quick at responding to our inquiries which we mostly did via email (we preferred email communication). He gave great insight and feedback for appetizers and entrees for our reception. Our tasting was great and he made getting final details done very easy. At the reception itself, Greyson and his staff were super intuitive and attentive. All our guests LOVED the food. At one point, my aunt made our plates and brought it to us. I said to her that my now husband doesn't like salad on his dressing and out of nowhere Greyson appeared and said "Did I hear that you need an undressed salad? I'm on it." It was something small but to me it spoke volumes because I knew he was on top of things and that I didn't have to worry about a thing. Would definitely use them again.

Sassy Onion did such an amazing job with our heavy apps for our small wedding. They were absolutely wonderful and delicious! Everyone loved all the food, but the canapes and stuffed mushroom caps were hands-down my favorites. Thank you for making our day delicious!

Everything was great, luckily we had 50 less people show up though because we had just enough food for everyone that was there.

Judy was super helpful and really accommodating to all my requests. She was flexible with me changing my mind several times about the menu, guest count, etc. The food was great and we received many compliments from the guests! We had salmon and bbq chicken buffet style and did canape appetizers. We also had a hot chocolate bar. Sassy even cut the cake for no extra charge. It was a great value overall. I would definitely recommend Sassy Onion!

I planned my wedding from Los Angeles, so it made some of the appointments difficult, but Judy, the coordinator at Sassy Onion was totally flexible and always helpful. She was quick to return my e-mails, and not pushy at all. If there was one thing that got under my skin during wedding planning it was vendors always trying to up-sell. Judy never did this once. In fact she offered suggestions to help me stay in my budget instead of pushing me outside my budget. Everyone LOVED the fajitas we had buffet style, and they even boxed the food up for us to pick up the next morning. Terrific!

The Sassy Onion did an amazing job for our wedding. Everything was cooked perfectly, was delivered on time, and was delicious! While they were sometimes hard to get a hold of, we really appreciate the care they took to make sure we were happy. Their chef delivered samples to my workplace which was not necessary, but extremely nice. We also used them for our morning after brunch, and the food was also delicious. Their servers were fantastic and really cared about making sure we were happy.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

What can I say about Sassy Onion except that they ROCK!! I have been able to work with them and enjoy their food for years and I can honestly say that their event staff is nothing short of fantastic every time. If you are looking for delicious food served perfectly then look no further than Sassy Onion. They may serve "food with Attitude" but that attitude is fun and delicious!
