    Best Wedding Caterer in Town!

    If you need to contract a catering service for an event in San Diego, CA, look no further than Bekker's Catering. They have been voted the number one catering company in town and have won Wedding Wire's Couple's Choice Awards for the past 7-8 consecutive years.

    My husband and I began looking for catering companies a year before our wedding date on 09/30/2023. We used The Knot to book tastings. From the get-go, we knew Bekker's was on the top of our lists for the following reasons: 1. transparent pricing - all package costs are posted on their website, and there are no hidden fees; 2. tons of catering food options; and 3. they offered additional services, such as wedding coordination services, making it a one-stop option for all your wedding planning needs. Once we did our tastings, we knew we had to go with Bekker's for our wedding catering. Not only did they have the best-tasting food, but they also offered the ability to add more things to our packages, such as the late-night snacks, boxed and ready to grab and go, for the end of our wedding event.

    In addition to the food catering services, we also decided to hire Bekker's for our Day-of Wedding coordination, run by Kimberly and assisted by Makela. Kimberly was the best! Not only did she help put a list together for our master timeline and vendor information months in advance before the wedding, but she also attended our site visits for our wedding reception, kept in contact with all our vendors, and made sure that my husband and I felt cared for and taken care of the day of our wedding. We cannot emphasize enough how amazing it was to work with Kimberly and Bekker's for our wedding, and we would highly recommend any bride/groom to use their services, especially if you have a big wedding in San Diego.

    Terrific Food and Service

    Bekker's was recommended to us by our venue who had worked with them several times before on different weddings. The service staff was very friendly and efficient! Most of all, all of our guests really enjoyed the food! They were on time and worked hard, I would highly recommend to anyone needing catering for an event.

    Would Recommend in a Heartbeat

    Bekkers did an amazing job on our wedding! We had a huge guest count but the team at Bekkers handled it so easily and took a lot of weight off our shoulders during the planning process with their positive attitudes and long-time industry experience. In addition to their catering services, we chose to use Bekker’s Complete Wedding Coordination and Kimberly was the best coordinator that truly cared about our vision and worked with us every step of the way! Kimberly has an exceptional amount of industry experience and a great amount of grace that really kept my husband and I calm and focused throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Kimberly and her staff made sure that my husband and I were well taken care of. The single photo I have included doesn't do this vendor justice- they provided all table setting and so much more. Following our wedding, I have received many raving reviews from my own guests about how delicious the food was, how considerate their staff was, and how kind Bekker’s bartenders were! I would recommend Bekker’s in a heartbeat!!

    Great Catering Team!

    Bekkers was great! The food was delicious and I really appreciated how they asked our preferences from decorations to timing to the display of the food. Would highly recommend!

    Bekker's Catering's reply:

    Thank you! I'm so glad everything worked out so well for you! We enjoyed working with you, too. Best wishes for your future!

    Amazing quality all around

    We hired Bekker's as our caterer for our wedding on 5/20/23 and we also had Kimberly as our day of coordinator. To say we would have been extremely lost without Kimberly is a massive understatement. I was a DIY bride so to have Kimberly was life saving. Kimberly was extremely knowledgeable and helped us with any and every question we had throughout our process of planning our wedding. She gave us so much insight with how to make the flow of our day go smoothly. From the moment you first meet her, you'll feel comfortable right away. She's super approachable and you can just tell she's someone you're glad to have your back. Kimberly made sure our day was done with no hiccups. Our family all had compliments to give for Kimberly for her professionalism and expertise.
    The food from Bekker's was immaculate! We did the traditional buffet with the tri tip steak and herb rotisserie chicken. I've never heard of chicken being complimented as much with any other catering I've experienced. The staff that was attending the wedding were all extremely kind and professional. I remember one incident where I was cleaning up some spilled drink from the dance floor at the end of the night and one of the staff immediately ran over to take the rag from me and say she'll take care of it so I don't have to even though they had pretty much already finished packing up their chairs and equipment.
    There's literally not enough words for us to say with how grateful we are to Kimberly and the team at Bekker's!

    Fabulous food and service!

    Bekker’s catering did such a fantastic job at our wedding in April this year! We searched around for a while looking for a caterer and finally landed with them, and I’m so glad. They were very professional. The tasting was fabulous and they laid out all the options for us for our day. We picked the ‘Elegant by Design’ menu and it was wonderful. The tray passed appetizers were SO GOOD! We loved the meatballs and the little ahi poke chips! We elected for family style platters for dinner and they were so fast with getting them to the tables. They made sure the groom and I got food as soon as we sat down and were attentive all night. They specialize in large weddings and their service is top notch! Highly recommend them for your event!

    Amazing Vendor! Highly Recommend!

    Look no further!!! My husband and I chose Bekker’s for our wedding and it was AMAZING! We have received SO MANY compliments on our wedding food, literally saying “It was the best wedding food I’ve ever had”! Our main dishes were the Herb Crusted Tri Tip and the Chicken Breast in Garlic Herb Sauce. Communication with Kimberly and Rita was always prompt, professional and efficient. They both worked with my husband and I to switch out different dishes from the pre-made menu to change to items we wanted. It was a pleasure to work with Bekker’s Catering, their food, their service, everything was exceptional. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

    Still drooling over the food

    We chose the South of the Border for apps/dinner, and added on the ceviche shooters, and then the fresh banked churros for dessert. We live in San Diego, so we (both us and most of our guests) are definitely very familiar with delicious Mexican food, and let me tell you Bekker's hit the nail on the head. The food was absolutely delicious, everyone went back for seconds. We actually ended up with a decent amount of leftovers, and I was so worried it meant people didn't eat enough, but everyone I talked to over the next few days all raved about how delicious it was and how full they were. The Bekker's team was fantastic to work with, and answered all of our questions. They even assisted/advised on linen colors as needed. Do not hesitate and hire the Bekker's team if you are thinking about it

    Yummy Food, Great Price!

    My husband and I were so excited to have Bekker’s cater our wedding after searching for a long time for the perfect caterer. They worked with our budget and had delicious food! I was so impressed by how quickly they responded to my multiple emails asking various questions. The food tasting to pick what we wanted to serve at the wedding was very helpful. Everyone we communicated with was helpful, professional, and kind.

    Fabulous and delicious at a great price!

    Bekker’s makes great food for a reasonable price - not many people talk about the food at a wedding, but so many people have been raving about ours! Bekker’s also helped ensure that all our guests had safe options for their allergies and dietary restrictions. For the quality of the service and food, Bekker’s is an absolute steal. We also appreciate that they have so many varieties in their menus!

    Caterer for LIFE

    Covid wedding here! We pushed through with keeping our wedding date while maintaining the health and safety of all our guests. Our backyard wedding had all of the PPE bells and whistles. I’ll keep this short and sweet so that it’s read!
    1. The proof is in their pudding! They’ve been in the catering game since 1958. They have it DOWN!
    2. Communication and Follow up is ALWAYS timely. They crossed all of my T’s and dotted all of my I’s with a smile.
    3. In the midst of the pandemic we were scrambling for ideas on where we could host our canceled winery wedding and looking for the safest options to serve food. They were quick to provide a variety of creative ideas. Being malleable is very important for the success of any business.
    4. The food is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. They have a setup system followed by food delivery to maintain the quality of the food.
    5. Ask for Barb! Her customer service is some of the best we’ve ever experienced. She made us feel like family and I will forever be grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day perfect.

    I heart Bekkers.

    Outstanding caterer. You won't regret choosing them!

    Bekker's did an amazing job at my daughter's wedding this past Saturday! The presentation was great and the food was so delicious! I would definitely recommend the Tri-tip carving station. So many guests mentioned how good the food was and that the Tri-tip was cooked perfectly. One guest commented that she has been to many weddings but this was the best food she ever had and I have to agree. They also provided items we forgot like the cake knife and plastic forks for our dessert table that really saved the day. I would highly recommend them for your wedding. They are reliable and easy to work with.

    I went in for the tasting of Italian food. We had chicken cacciatori and penne pasta. They were both delicious. I am and will recommend them to anyone looking for catering. They have prices in all ranges. I am working with a strick budget and they were able to meet my needs.

    Great Caterer!

    Bekker's Catering was recommended to us by our wedding venue, and we're really glad we chose them to cater our wedding. We decided to do the "Greek Goddess" menu, and the food was yummy. Our guests raved about the tzatziki sauce, and our vegetarian and vegan friends enjoyed the veggie kabobs. They were also super flexible and worked with our budget. The staff was easy to communicate with and responsive to my questions via email. They were affordable, professional, and the food was great!!!!

    Best Bang for your Buck

    I LOVED Bekker's for our wedding. My first impression of Bekker's was our liaison, Tatiana. She is spectacular. I was overwhelmed looking at everything online, so I gave Bekker's a call. She was so courteous and thoughtful. She walked me through many options and even showed us other options that may be a better value. I couldn't believe how much she helped me get focused.

    When we decided to book Bekker's, I had a lot of specific needs. They went above and beyond to fulfill all of them. They sliced a cake we got from another vendor, and passed an Hors d'oeuvres for us.

    I love that Bekker's made sure everything on our day was perfect! Thank you so much!

    Super flexible

    Food was the thing that took the longest for us to figure out, but Bekker’s was perfect! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about our food (we went with barbecue), and they made sure that we were taken care of before everyone else. They allow you to add guests and make changes to the menu up until a week before the wedding, which was perfect for us. We did our desserts through them too, and the cobblers were delicious. We were even able to add some last minute heaters that made the outside portion of our venue nice and toasty. We highly recommend working with them.

    Best Food, Service, Wedding Planner and Experience

    Our first appointment was the food tasting, we were sold in two minutes, next came booking Tatiana as our day of wedding coordinator, but she went above and beyond the one day. She took care of so many details, took all my calls, emails and texts and made the planning such a smooth experience. If she wasn't my planner I would've invited her as a guest. The food, especially the cheese ravioli was amazing! All of our guests are still talking about it. I'm just waiting for the next even where I can use Bekkers and Tatiana again. Look no further, their positive feedback on all sites is true! They are the best, most professional, delicious, prompt, customer friendly catering I have ever experienced. I did a lot of research before finding them and their affordable prices are also worth every penny. They made our wedding so special and memorable.

    Excellent caterer -- highly recommended!

    We found Bekker's Catering through Yelp. We were so happy to have went with this excellent catering and setup/breakdown company, as everything went extremely well and our guests loved the food! We only have great things to say about our experience with Bekker's and would highly recommend them to anyone. The staff was easy to communicate with and were very responsive and helpful. They were very affordable, responsible and we enjoyed the delicious Mexican fajita / taco bar. Yum!

    Great Food

    Their food was amazing! We went for the budget menu and added veggie kabobs, and it did NOT taste like we were on a budget! They were very helpful during out tasting and accommodated our special requests perfectly. The groom is vegan and they were able to make everything (except the chicken) vegan friendly! We got so many compliments saying this was the best wedding food they've had. I also got to take the leftovers home, which is always a bonus!
