A dream experience

We planned for Splash Cafe to cater our October 17th, 2020 wedding long before the COVID-19 Pandemic came about. When we decided to keep our date and scale down to less than 20 people, and switch from a full dinner to a modified snack menu for our 3-hour outdoor event, Heather took everything in stride and absolutely worked with every curveball. Our day was absolutely perfect, and in no small part to her help and the amazing work done by Splash. Everything was beautiful, safely individually packaged, and displayed and served with care. They even made custom sugar cookies made to look like our cake and with our wedding date on them as a favor for guests. This was a surprise to us at the tasting and such a beautiful and thoughtful touch. I cannot recommend Splash, Heather, and Harmony enough, particularly for wedding cakes and desserts.

Intimate Beach Wedding

What a surprise to find out that Splash Cafe made delicious wedding cakes and pastries! They presented a gorgeous spread for our cake tasting, and everything was so yummy we had a hard time deciding on flavors. We added a few pastry options to our table as well, and they were a huge hit!

Amazing desserts!

I worked with Susan at Splash Cafe to have the ultimate dessert bar at our wedding. I didn't want our cake to be the only option for our guests. The menu is unreal - so many cute bite sized desserts. The taste and the look is UNREAL! She makes them look so pretty you may not want to eat them, but then you do and you don't want to stop. You must use her for your central coast event!!!

Yummy food and Heather is THE BEST!!!

This review is long overdue. Splash catered our wedding in June and we could not have made a better choice. From the first tasting to our wedding day Heather was amazing! She made the experience fun and stress free. She worked alongside our venue coordinator to make sure everything would go without a hitch and even offered to help set up our personal items so we did not have to worry about it. On our wedding day, Heather and her team made sure our guests were satisfied, we had a glass of wine in hand when ever desired, and we got plenty of food. On top of all that food was amazing and all our guests raved about how good it was. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Best cake ever

Splash did a great job with our cutting cake (made it look exactly like the picture I gave them) and cupcakes. We had a mix of regular size and mini in a variety of flavors. The tasting to decide flavors was fun!!

Best in the business!

Splash Cafe and Heather are by far the best in the business!!! I got married this last June 2019 and I can easily say Splash Cafe was a huge reason everything went so smoothly. Heather is so professional, organized, accommodating and just a pleasure to work with. Not only did they cater a delicious meal for roughly 150 guests, but they also did my dessert bar! I got soooo many compliments on how tasty everything was (especially their mini cheesecakes and salted caramel bars). Heather even helped me with my rentals. She was so knowledgeable and made sure I didn't forget something. Their staff the day of made sure my husband and I were completely taken care of including bringing us drinks from the bar! Seriously, if you are considering Splash, you won't regret it! They will exceed your expectations and then some. Thank you SO much to the Splash team and thank you especially to Heather!!! You are a true expert at what you do!

Such an amazing Caterer!

If you are looking for a caterer, look no further. The Splash Cafe is truly amazing! We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team.
We had a couple of tastings for our wedding but when we were at Splash Café we immediately knew we found the perfect one! Not only is their food amazing, but they are also so easy to work with and truly care about you as their customer.
And then of courses there is Heather - the coordinator. You just have to love her. She is such a warm and wonderful person and will do anything she can to make your wedding perfect! She is super organized and reliable, responds to all of your emails and questions immediately and takes away so much of the pre-wedding stress.
And the day of, she was definitely our hero! She always knew what we needed (even if we didn’t know ourselves) and before we could even ask for something she already handed it to us! All the other staff was outstanding as well - attentive, super friendly and brought happy vibes. Our guests loved Heather and her team, too and many of them told us they never saw a caterer that was so devoted.
Since we loved their food and service so much we decided to get our cake and desert from them too, as well as some midnight snacks, and even used their bar tending service - all of which exceeded our expectations!

Thank you so much to the whole team of Splash Cafe for making our day truly perfect!!!

Splash Cafe was Phenomenal!!

My husband and I decided to use Splash Café as our catering service for our wedding day! It was THE best choice!! Heather, Splash's Catering Coordinator, was so fun and easy to work with! Anything I wanted, she made it happen! Her bubbly personality and expertise had me SOLD from the moment I first talked to her!! She made it an easy one stop shop with the catering and ALSO worked with our rental company on rentals so I didn't have to worry about having to contact several vendors. She and her crew were the best!! From the servers to the bartender, the team was amazing!! We wanted a simple meal on our big day so we decided to do appetizers, a taco bar, and a dessert bar!! Everything was OUTSTANDINGLY delicious and the set up looked amazing!! We didn't want a huge cake either and she recommended a 6in cake for my hubby and I to cut and designed it to the exact detail I wanted! The day was simply amazing and everything I had hoped for! HUGE thank you to you, Heather, and your entire crew for making our wedding day so stress free and memorable! I HIGHLY recommend Splash for your catering needs!!

Amazing people, amazing day!

The Splash Cafe team are absolute rockstars. Heather was so amazing throughout the whole process and really made us feel taken care of on our wedding day. The food was fantastic, the staff was great, and it all came together with no issues at all.

We can't recommend Splash Cafe (and Heather) enough!

Heather from Splash Cafe executed a flawless day!

We had Heather from Splash Cafe coordinate our March 2019 wedding. I don’t think I can come up with the words to describe just how fantastic she was but I am going to do my best. Heather was hands-down the best vendor we hired for our wedding. My husband and I along with our families and wedding party had the most stress-free, fantastic time at our wedding and that is all due to Heather.

Heather’s “day-of coordination” services far exceeded the day of. We were in constant contact months out going over every little detail. She was always prompt in responding to my slew of emails and took over all vendor communication leading up to the big day - which was a huge relief!

We had a lot of “cooks in the kitchen” - family, friends, and friends of family - armed with opinions and requests relating to our big day and Heather navigated all those relationships with such ease. It helped this stressed out bride immensely when I could tell a family member to “just call Heather about it” and knew she would take it off my plate. Heather helped us organize some last minute logistical changes with our venue so gracefully and even managed some difficult-to-please vendors and late bridesmaids.

When you hire Heather, as a bride or groom, just know you won’t lift a single finger on your big day. As soon as we were pronounced Husband and Wife, Heather was there to greet us with drinks in hand. Heather made sure we ate throughout the day, even bringing appetizers and more beverages out to the wedding party and family during our cocktail hour photography session. So epic!

Heather went above and beyond to make sure every last detail was thought of and executed seamlessly. From bringing along her own vessel for our signature drinks to be served out of to folding 200 napkins for the reception. She made sure the whole evening flowed effortlessly and that we remained on time for all the big moments throughout the night.

Heather is equal parts family therapist, hype woman, and taskmaster. She is so professional, crazy organized, patient, assertive and she makes the day SO FUN!

I am a control freak and I have a hard time trusting others to execute my vision but once Heather took over, I had no qualms in letting her run with it all! After our wedding was over, our family and friends all agreed that the day could not have been more perfect. There wasn’t a single thing that we would have changed about it and that was all due to Heather.

You will not regret hiring Heather from Splash to coordinate your wedding. She is worth her weight in gold!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
