This was an intimate 80th Birthday Open House celebration for 80 people, catered at the Beaches Cottage at Crystal Cove State Park. Erin and her Beachcomber Catering staff were professional and accommodating. The food was prepared perfectly, beautifully presented, non-stop, and WONDERFUL... no one left hungry. In fact, no one wanted to leave at all! Thanks to Erin's hard work. And the fellow managing the catering that day. Was a perfect day at the beach for our friends and families. Thank you.

We selected the Beachcomber Cultural Deck as the site for our wedding ceremony and reception. This was one of the best decisions we made. It far exceeded our expectations in every way. The deck overlooks the ocean and provided us with a gorgeous view of the sunset and the sounds and smells of the ocean. The food was fantastic from the appetizers that were walked around during cocktail hour to the lobster crab boil for dinner all the way to dessert. Our guest are still talking about how good the food was. We had many guests that were gluten free and the beachcomber helped us to come up with options to make our menu almost completely gluten free. What truly made the beachcomber a great pick as our venue was the staff. We coordinated all of our details with Erin from the Beachcomber. She was extremely accommodating, had very good suggestions, helped us problem solve any issues, always responded in a timely manner and truly helped to make our wedding go very smoothly. This venue was spectacular, the food amazing and the staff genuine. Our wedding was absolutely perfect!

Erin Wurtz was absolutely amazing to work with! Planning a wedding is a lot of work with a lot of tough decisions, and she was there every step of the way to guide us. The day was perfect, we couldn't be happier with how everything went, and our friends and us had a blast! Thank you Erin for your patience, guidance and positive attitude!!! Too bad we can't get married more often! Don't worry we will find an excuse to work with you again!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
