    Amazing catering experience

    Blend Catering was a fantastic caterer for our recent Tahoe wedding. The guests were all talking about how much they loved the food. On the day and in the lead up to the event, Whitney and team were communicative, professional, flexible (despite some late stage changes), and lovely to work with. We would highly recommend booking them for any event.

    Thank you again to Blend for bringing our vision to life!

    What yummy food!

    We've all been to weddings where the food is clearly an afterthought. And honestly who could blame the couple as weddings can get so pricey. Not the case though with Blend! My husband and I hired Blend's fabulous catering team to serve a buffet style dinner at our wedding reception in Lake Tahoe, and wow, was it fabulous! The appetizers they provided during cocktail hour were so innovative and scrumptious, that people were literally chasing the servers back upstairs to the kitchen for more. Dinner was just as incredible, and it really showed because we hardly had any leftovers to take home. We got so many compliments on the food, and couldn't be happier with their service. I highly recommend Blend Catering for your big day!

    Blend rocks!

    Whitney and Blend were an incredible team to work with for our wedding weekend! Food was definitely one of our top priorities for our wedding, and Blend made the process so smooth with their great communication and extensive menu. After our tasting, we had some personal preferences that we communicated with the team, and they were so receptive and flexible! The day of the wedding, they even made a separate little plate of the passed appetizers for us so that we could get some food while we were getting pulled into photos and conversations with our guests. So many of our guests complimented us saying that the food at our wedding was the best they'd ever had at a wedding as well. All in all, working with Blend was a great experience!

    “Best wedding food we’ve ever had!”

    Blend is incredible in so many ways. First off, the food they make is so good. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the passed appetizers, the 48-hour short rib, citrus salmon, and the smashed potatoes. But not only was the food tasty, they accommodated the fact that the bride, the mother of the groom, and a bridesmaid all have celiac by making the entire menu gluten free without compromising on flavor and texture. And then the late night snack — just wow. Gluten free truffle grilled cheese and homemade passion fruit donuts. I honestly can’t imagine the food at our wedding being any better. We did buffet style for dinner since we were on a bit of a budget and it was very reasonable. If you have the chance to work with Blend in the Tahoe area, DO IT! You won’t regret it.

    Best wedding food I've had

    We had Blend cater our 'black tie in the woods' wedding up in Tahoe last weekend and they did such a fantastic job. From the perfectly cooked filet to the delicious vegetables, it was fresh, good quality, tasty food that I would eat again in a heartbeat! Best food I've ever had at a wedding (and we were in the middle of the woods!). Highly recommend.

    Food (and service) from Blend were extraordinary!

    It really doesn't get any better than Blend. They catered our wedding this summer and everyone was completely blown away by the food. I am a former chef and real foodie, so my guests expected the food to be amazing but I really think Blend's cooking exceeded everyone's high expectations. Every single thing that Blend prepared was perfectly cooked and seasoned (including the lamb, which is not easy to make!) and all the flavors were unique and delicious. The quality of their ingredients was truly outstanding. Our venue had a pretty antiquated kitchen with a fridge and oven that didn't really work but Blend handled these complications seamlessly and gracefully. From our first interactions with Whitney and Devon, we found them to be organized, professional, and very kind and helpful (especially when we had to change our date because of Covid). I can't recommend Blend highly enough--if you are getting married in Tahoe, you would be crazy to hire anyone else!

    Amazing Service

    We just had such a great experience with Blend…from planning the menu from far away, Blend was super responsive and answered all of our questions so promptly! Every single thing we chose was so delicious, our guests were so happy with the food, and we were just amazed by the quality and tastiness of EVERYTHING! All of their staff were incredibly friendly, I couldn’t have asked for anything better. We opted to do a dessert table, and the giant skillet cookies were SUCH A HIT! My only regret from our wedding was not setting aside desserts for my husband and I to eat later!!!

    So so delish!

    Blend Catering was a hit at our small fall 2020 wedding. We had been excited to finally taste our wedding food after months of waiting, and by golly it was just the best! From start to finish, the planning process was super detailed yet easy. Every single menu option is incredible. We had so many compliments on our wedding dinner, which only means one thing, the food was memorable! Thank you Blend team for making our wedding food dreams come true! Would 100% recommend each and every time for wedding and event catering!

    Best food ever!

    We knew when we started our wedding planning that having Blend Catering as one of our vendors was a non negotiable. They have the absolute best food, creative menus, and are extremely professional!

    Our wedding was very small and intimate (16 guests total) and because of this we were able to go all out on our food! We had 3 incredible past appetizers, with an oyster bar for our cocktail hour, a 3 course meal for dinner, and were even able to do 2 passed late night snacks. Everything was so flavorful and we heard repeatedly from our guests that it was one of the best meals that they've ever had at a wedding. We were so happy and full by the end of the night and could not have imagined out day without the wonderful folks at Blend Catering.

    Best day ever

    The Blend catering team made our wedding day everything we could have imagined. We booked them prior to the pandemic and the stayed with us through the entire adventure of planning a wedding during this unknown time. They followed us to three different venues and planned multiple tastings as the vision of the day changed many times. They were flexible with our needs and were focused on us getting married. We appreciate how much they cared about our day! Also, should we talk about how great their food is!!! All of our friends and family still talk about how great the crab crostini's, the hanger steak, and the smashed potatoes were! We were so grateful to have them on our vendor team!

    Small wedding caterer

    Loved Blend Catering! They were very easy to work with and accommodating to dietary restrictions we had with some guests. Highly recommend the passed appetizers- Mini chicken and waffles and mini lobster rolls were a big hit with guests. No complaints at all with how everything turned out food wise for our big day.

    If you don't go with Blend, you're really missing out

    Blend was fantastic. I've worked with a lot of companies in my lifetime, including all of our wedding vendors, and I still can't believe how incredible they were.

    Food was the most important thing to my husband because he comes from a family of cooks. They're pretty harsh critics. But Blend not only passed the test, everyone RAVED about their food and how it was by far the best wedding food they've ever tasted. They're willing to work with you on the menu, and created a cheesecake bar per our request. However, the cheesecake was so delicious that many of our guests didn't even use toppings. Cheesecake is probably my favorite food (it was mentioned in my yearbook page in high school), so I've tasted a lot of cheesecake. This was the best I've ever eaten. I'm still dreaming about. I'm wondering if I could get them to commission another cheesecake for our anniversary... They blew our wedding cake out of the water (although it was also great).

    They also made sweet brussel sprouts but my husband felt we had too many sweet foods. They tried fish sauce instead per his request, and it was still delicious even though they had never tried it before. Their prices are also very reasonable.

    If you don't go with Blend, man ... you're making a huge mistake.

    It Was So Good, I Wish I Had Asked to Keep the Leftovers

    We used Blend as the caterer for our wedding and the food and service was great! Whitney worked well with us to stay within budget and come up with fun ideas that would surprise our guests. Everyone is still talking about the food, I just wish I had grabbed a doggie bag for the next day!

    All we can say is WOW! Blend Catering exceeded our expectations for our wedding--from the creativity and execution of the food to the customer service. From day one, Whitney worked endlessly with us to plan a perfect menu for our wedding at Valhalla. For apps we had mini fish & chips, coconut chicken, shaved jamon in house buttermilk biscuits, and compressed watermelon skewers with feta. For salad we had the heirloom tomato and peach salad with mozzarella, very fresh and tasty. For dinner we had their date-aleppo chili rubbed short ribs and a (perfectly cooked) salmon with beurre blanc paired with organic roasted carrots and cauliflower and fried new potatoes (yum!). All courses were timely, fulfilling, creative, visually appetizing, and of course delicious. They are clearly the best option in the Reno/Tahoe area for catering, so don't even hesitate to hire them for your special event. Thanks so much Whitney & Team for making our day perfect and for leaving our guests raving about the "best food they've ever had a wedding"... Thank you Blend, for making our wedding taste so good!

    Blend created some of the most incredible tasting dishes for our wedding and at the most reasonable price we could find anywhere in town. They were a dream to work with, and we even had leftovers to take home!

    Blend Catering not only creates the best wedding food in the Reno-Tahoe area, but they're personable, professional and a wonderful to work with, especially when life is a little hectic during wedding planning. Whitney and Josh are a great pair that steered us towards a menu that we not only loved that reflected our personal tastes (and ate A LOT of during the reception), but one that all of our guests raved about during and after the wedding. Their staff was also amazing! I can't recommend them enough.

    Whitney and Josh were such a pleasure to work with! Whitney answered all of my (what seemed list endless) questions without delay. They organized everything from Celebration's Party rentals, which took one less thing off my plate. Now- on to the important stuff- the food!!! We traveled from Santa Cruz, CA one night to do our tasting in their kitchen in Sparks, NV and drove back right after. And it was worth it!! Their food in incredible, and was the perfect "experience" we were looking for for our wedding. I literally was having dreams about their pasta and chicken and waffles appetizer. I mentioned to Whitney that I just wanted to be sure my husband and I were able to actually eat some of the apps (since we would be taking pictures during cocktail hour). She personally delivered them and guarded off our bridal party who had already been served their own special plate that was brought down. Thank you both for everything! We are already trying to plan our next trip to visit, even if it's just for dinner.

    Blend Catering was recommended to us by Julie at the Tannenbaum Events Center. She spoke so highly of Blend that we thought we would try it out. We were so happy with the food that we tried that we didn't even try another catering service because we were sold. Working with Blend was very easy and our friends and family raved about the dinner at our wedding. We are thankful for their hard work and efforts in making dinner amazing!

    Sarah and her team are AMAZING! My husband and I hired her for our January wedding at the Tannenbaum (great venue) in Reno. We are currently living in a different state, but the distance meant nothing. Sarah is super sweet, extremely flexible, and quick to respond to my manny questions. We were impressed with the food at the tasting, but it doesn't even compare to how delicious it was at the wedding. We had 130 guests and opted for the buffet. I was a little nervous that it was going to take too long for everyone to get their food, but her staff kept the line moving quickly. I also have two lactose in tolerant relatives and Sarah made them their own special plates. They were beyond grateful that she was able to do that and said their dishes were delicious. I planned the entire wedding on my own, so when Sarah noticed that the little details were weighing me down, she took charge and even took over the hot chocolate bar for me. I am still receiving compliments on the food and the hot chocolate bar was a huge hit! The staff was so helpful and went ABOVE AND BEYOND my expectations. I shopped around and not only was Perfect Pear one of the fairest caterers in the area, but they were also the nicest and most upfront about costs. There were no hidden fees and I am overjoyed by the service they provided.

    My husband and I hired A Perfect Pear to cater our wedding in May, and from day one, were nothing but happy with Sarah! She was a pleasure to work with, from the time we met at the tasting (which was delicious by the way), for months leading up to the wedding, and of course the day of the wedding. She was always available to answer questions, no matter how big or small. Actually, I knew she would be great from the time of our first contact, when I wrote her an email asking about prices...she sent me prices and then a few days later, SHE contacted me asking if I had any questions. Great customer service! The food was amazing as well, and Sarah really worked with us to put together a wonderful menu for our guests that fit nicely within our budget. The day of the wedding the set up looked great, she and her staff were amazing, and we heard so many nice compliments about the food and staff from guests! We could not have asked for a better experience!! We are so happy that we hired Sarah and would DEFINITELY recommend her to anyone out there looking for a great caterer!! :)

    Sarah and her crew are the best. The food was delicious and flavorful, and served nice and hot. We even were a little ahead of schedule and she worked with us to serve dinner 15 minutes early to the hungry crowd. They also washed over 600 dishes in buckets due to no water facilities and worked in a tiny tent, but all was done with a smile. They are so sweet, and accommodating. I love working with A Perfect Pear for any event.

    Perfect Pear Catering catered our wedding, and did a fantastic job. Our guest raved about the food, and we even had a few people asking for a second plat! The glasses we kept full. They helped set up the venue and it was exactly what I had pictured. They went above all my expectations and I would definitely recommend using them

    Blend did great. We had a breakfast food wedding and they worked with us to make all our waffle bar dreams come true. My only complaint is that I (the bride) am vegan, and so some of our dishes were vegan for me. When it came time to box things up, nearly all of the vegan things got mixed in with the nonvegan things, leaving me very sad with no leftovers from my wedding (but leaving my husband very happy at his massive mountain of food!). We worked primarily with Whitney, but Sara was our chef the day of. She did wonderful and everything tasted great, but I wish we had had the chance to meet her before the big day. Overall, we loved it, our guests loved it, and we hope to use them again someday!

    Highly Recommend!

    Blend allowed us to be creative and worked with us on creating a menu for our wedding that reflected our tastes and personalities! They were very responsive, professional, their staff was amazing, including servers and bartenders. I highly recommend working with Blend - it's worth the $$$.
