Pearl Catering was a hit at our wedding!

We had a wonderful experience with Pearl Catering at our wedding about would 100% recommend them to anyone getting married in the area. Ashley B was our contact there and was so fun to work with. She answered all of our questions and made sure everything food/beverage related went smoothly day-of! Everything was so delicious at our wedding--we received many compliments (both at our reception and in the following days) about how good the food was! We would hire Pearl Catering again in a heartbeat.

Highly recommend!

We loved working with everyone at Urban Studio and cannot recommend them enough! Everyone is so accommodating, kind and collaborative to work with having our rehearsal dinner was amazing.

We received so many compliments on our rehearsal venue because the space was solely for our guests and we had Churros locos for dessert (Natalia thank you for the recommendation!) and it was perfect the way Urban lifted the garage door in the venue.

Highly recommend working with UrbanStudio for your wedding, rehearsal or future events :)

Great experience

We absolutely loved our experience at Urban Studio for our wedding. The space was perfect for our 55 person guest count and was quickly flipped from ceremony to reception while the guests enjoyed appetizers and cocktails. It really is a blank canvas and we were able to customize the space to fit our vision. Natalia and Ashley are very professional and were a pleasure to work with. The food was EXCELLENT - seriously, our guests devoured all of the appetizers and entrees. Several people commented on the food and many said it was the best (by far) they had had at a wedding

Thanks Urban studio!!!

Perfect Reception Venue

Urban Studio was everything and more that we wanted in a reception venue! Ashley and Natalia were so helpful in making the decision and in finally pulling it all together. Their staff executed our vision perfectly. The food from Pearl Catering was some of the best catering food I have ever had! Their staff was also so quick to clean up the occassional broken glass (a sign of a good party) and they were efficient in serving the food and cleaning up everything afterwards. All in all, they made our reception easy to pull off. I highly recommend booking them for any event!

Perfect Day

Ashley and her team at Urban Studio made our micro wedding a breeze. They were so flexible about changes up until the day of with guest cancelations and changes. The venue can really be made into whatever you’re looking for, and the floor plan is perfect for a small wedding or a large one. Not the mention the food was amazing, and the bartender was great.

Meagan from Pearl Catering is the BEST

My husband and I got married in June at Maysara Winery (little behind on reviews). I can't say enough about Meagan from Pearl Catering. We would have booked Pearl Catering for our wedding regardless but I'm SO happy Meagan is the one we got to work with. She was very quick to respond to my questions and concerns and on the day of our wedding was SO on it with getting tables up and in the buffet line (without announcing anything) and right before I walked down the aisle she helped me down the stairs and held my dress so I didn't fall down them. She kicked ass! Also, the two things people still mention to us about our wedding is the gorgeous venue and the amazing food. People told us it was the best wedding food they've ever had. I honestly think it was the best wedding food I had ever had too! Everything we chose was delicious! But we did two pre-wedding tastings with Meagan because it was so hard to chose the menu - EVERYTHING was amazing! In addition, the buffet package was very affordable which made it that much better. Go with Pearl Catering (and cross your fingers you'll be working with Meagan)! You will NOT regret it!

Simply delicious

Pearl catering catered our wedding and the food was just delicious. So many compliments on the dinner! We especially recommend the polenta and salmon, and it’s great that their menu is seasonal. The staff was great day-of as well, and Ashley was so responsive and helpful with planning (and day-of). We definitely would recommend for wedding food and any other catering needs!

The best food ever!

My husband and I used Pearl Catering for our wedding at Castaway in August 2019 and we have absolutely no regrets! So many of my guests said to us for DAYS after the wedding that it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! Meagan was so helpful to us throughout the year we spent planning the wedding- she set up multiple tastings to make sure everything was perfect! The day of the wedding she made sure the bride and groom always had food and a drink readily available. All of the servers and bartenders were very professional and attentive. Again- the food was incredible! I was worried how it would stay fresh in the buffet line, but they turned it over often and even the steak was perfectly cooked. Pearl Catering made our big day go so smoothly and also made it a memorable and delicious experience for our guests!

Great food! Awesome Staff! Very happy

All of our guests walked up to us during our special day and let us know how much they liked the food. Nicole was very responsive to all my nervous calls and emails and she was there to help with almost everything on our wedding day! Pearl catering helped with setup and take down of our wedding and let us just enjoy our day with our families. I would hire Pearl Catering again without a second thought!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have worked with Urban Studio many times over the years, and they are hands down my favorite venue. The staff is amazingly helpful and friendly, and the event space is beautiful and functional. The two-sided space provides a seamless transition from ceremony site, to cocktail hour, and into the reception. Every member of the staff, from coordinators to bartenders to servers, puts forth a positive attitude and are always happy to go the extra mile for their clients and vendors.
