Sea Stars Catering & Events is based in Monterey, California, and cooks delicious locally sourced wedding dishes. This service was established by Chef Jamie, who began her culinary career in New York City with a degree from the French Culinary Institute. After gaining experience at top restaurants in NY and Big Sur, she discovered her passion for catering when working for touring bands across California. She has recently partnered with another Chef, Paul Corsentino, who came from a background of being a chef at restaurants such as Bouley in NYC and Ventana in Big Sur. They take pride in crafting custom menus that ring true to each couple and the local growers and farmers from where ingredients are sourced. Along with providing a top-tier catering and event planning service, Sea Stars has a sister company in Stardust Rentals, which has an extensive inventory of vintage and handmade decor that will suit a celebration designed to reflect the naturalistic beauty of the area.

Reviews of Sea Stars Catering & Events
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
We do not even know where to start with Sea Stars Catering. They went above and beyond anything we could have imagined for our wedding and helped us create the perfect day.
We decided to use Jamie as our coordinator and caterer, and boy, was she worth every penny and then some. Jamie helped us every step of the way and recommended awesome vendors for florals, bartending, transportation, photography, music, and rentals. We used everyone she suggested, and every single vendor was incredible.
Our venue fell through two weeks before our wedding, and throughout the chaos, Jamie was there to help us find a new venue, keep us so calm, and create the most amazing wedding day despite only having two weeks to re-plan everything. We never would have been able to pull it off without the help of Jamie and Sea Stars!
Chef Paul’s food was spectacular, and our guests are still raving about it!! Every dish was delicious, from the lamb pops and crab cakes to the fried artichokes and the black cod, squash, and steak main courses. Everything was so so good, and my husband and I wish Chef Paul had a restaurant so we could go eat his food again and again.
We could not have asked for a better wedding day. We were able to be stress-free and present with our family and friends, which is mainly due to all the help from Jamie, Chef Paul, and the staff from Sea Stars. We cannot recommend Sea Stars enough, and if we ever need a caterer or help with an event in the area again, we know exactly who we are going to call :)

Incredible Meal
Jamie was great throughout the entire process and helped us create our dream menu for our wedding day. She was even accommodating for my picky sister. Everything we ate was so delicious and fresh. We all still talk about how much we loved the meal!

The best of the best
Look no further, this crew is the best there is for Carmel & Big Sur weddings. Cannot recommend them enough, truly exceptional. Can we get married again (to the same person) ?
