Catherine B. Sent on 12/02/2023Exceptional!
Carrie Dove is EXCEPTIONAL. Our first tasting was with Carrie Dove and the experience was a dream (gorgeous venue, VIP treatment, literally some of the best food we have ever eaten, exceptional service and level of detail by Chef…a dream). Since it was our first we thought “wow! This must be the standard” but no, Carrie Dove is just exceptional (had a nightmare experience elsewhere). Needless to say we booked immediately with Carrie Dove and it was the best decision. The menu opens were vast and amazing (so well thought out), they made everything so easy for us providing all of the furniture/linens/tableware/etc and covering all of the things we didn’t even think about. We worked with Abby and she was WONDERFUL. Professional, organized, super well-versed and experienced in weddings and our particular venue, and we loved her as a person. Our day-of was incredible, literally not a single issue and we were able to enjoy a 100% stress-free day. All of our guests noted how amazing the food was and the servers did a perfect job with timing and getting our entire group plated and fed.
If you’re looking for a caterer that has the best tasting food, amazing service, the greatest coordinator/planner all with the best pricing: Carrie Dove.

Carrie Dove catered our August 2023 wedding at The Hibernia in San Francisco. From our first tasting - which they made into a romantic private dinner date - to the day of, we were blown away by the quality, presentation, and sheer deliciousness of Carrie Dove's food options. Plus, their ability to adjust for guest's allergies and food needs with no problem at all! Everyone was raving about the food. We ordered filet mignon, apricot stuffed chicken, and black pepper salmon, with a gnocchi course and an assortment of sides. -

The Carrie Dove team is top notch in all they do! Kind, professional, and incredibly detail oriented! The food was more than amazing and everyone loved it! They went above and beyond in setting up all our rentals/linens/tables and special touches. So much of our wedding was incredible because of them! -

Thank you so much Carrie Dove! Not only was the food amazing (and i'm picky!), but the service and staff went above and beyond. Here are some high level things Carrie Dove did to ensure our day was fabulous:
- Tweak the cook of our food. After our tasting we wanted the meats cooked a slightly different way. The staff took the feedback and made the change. It was amazing!
- Special Meal: I had a family members with very specific food needs and they worked with me to put together a special menu for this person
- Event Day: They cleaned, took the trash out and organized. Our wedding was at a private venue and they truly went above and beyond to ensure we didn't have a huge mess to deal with. Thank you!
- Staff was SUPER pleasant: Everyone was very nice and accommodating to all our guests. We only heard positive feedback.
My husband and I want to say thank you as you truly helped make our day spectacular! -

Carrie Dove Catering is absolutely incredible! We hired Carrie Dove for our January wedding and we are so glad we did. The food was one of the most important aspects of our wedding to us and we really wanted our catering to stand out. First off, they made us feel so special when went to having our tasting. Everything was so thoughtful, including a cute welcome sign with our names in front of a parking spot just for us. Fast forward leading up to the wedding, they were so communicative and knew everything that needed to be worked out with our venue regarding space, permits, etc. Day-of, the food was INCREDIBLE. Carrie Dove is the perfect mix of elegant and delicious food at an actual reasonable price. The value of what you get with Carrie Dove is unreal. Food was prepared perfectly, including the steak (which is not always done well at weddings!), and the addition of the dessert table was a huge hit with our guests. I cannot recommend them enough or give them enough praise! -

Maggie F. Sent on 12/27/2022Delicious and flexible wedding food!
For our morning wedding, we had an array of small plates for a buffet lunch without a seated chart---Carrie Dove embraced our vision and supported our non-traditional approach! Our guests raved about the food. We have many food related allergies in our family that were accommodated without compromising on taste and quality. The event coordinator went above and beyond to help our wedding go smoothly. And the desserts were amazing! -

Flannery A. Sent on 11/25/2021WOW! The best!!!
Carrie Dove is the way to go for your next event! No joke, the food is incredible! Our guests cannot stop raving about how delicious our wedding meal was. The Carrie Dove team went above and beyond for us and created a beautiful event (Thank you so much, Amanda!). We were thrilled with the food choices and also the plates/cups/utensils we had to choose from. Carrie Dove's selection is very nice and we liked their options more than our other vendor we were renting linens from. But, seriously, back to the food, we, the wedding couple, had to tear ourselves away from our plates to go and greet our guests. We had a lovely time at our wedding and Carrie Dove was one of the main reasons we did. We highly recommend it. Thank you so much!! From, Flannery and Tucker -

Jordi M. Sent on 04/30/2020Excellent Experience with Victoria, Adam, and the whole team!
I truly loved working with Victoria at Carrie Dove Events for my upcoming wedding on 6/28/2020. We had our tasting right before the shelter in place, which was phenomenal. We were planning a brunch wedding, and Victoria had so many personal touches like a welcome sign and printed menus for our tasting. She and the whole team were accommodating to our budget and our specific tastes (hashbrowns! Challah French toast! mini chicken and waffle bites) and coming up with creative ideas like a yogurt parfait bar and mimosa station. After COVID changed our wedding plans, Carrie Dove fully refunded our deposit, no questions asked, as we had to postpone our wedding. I look forward to working with them in the future, and in the meantime, have really appreciated their pivoting to #dovedinners! We ordered dinner and got it delivered--what a special treat! We will be doing that again. Thank you again, and future brides, please check them out! -

Kseniya Sent on 06/27/2019Warm, professional, and delicious!
Carrie Dove made our wedding (at the Marin Art and Garden Center) run like a dream. From the cozy, welcoming tasting, we knew we picked the right people. Kit answered a constant stream of our questions leading up to the day, accommodated special requests (we got our own alcohol and appetizers), set up a gorgeous space for us on the day of, and seamlessly took care of us and gave us cues throughout the event. Katherine was wonderfully helpful and kind when helping with our ceremony, from the rehearsal, to chuppah and sound setup day of. The main thing we wanted from the wedding was for things to be easy, and Kit and Katherine and their wonderful staff made sure of it. And have I mentioned that our guests loved the food? Delicious, professional, kind, responsive, accommodating - Carrie Dove was just lovely, and worth every penny. Thank you guys! -

Rachel Sent on 04/22/2019Excellent Food and Service
Working with Carrie Dove was a dream! Our venue had a very small list of caterers we could choose from, and based off positive reviews and word of mouth, we chose Carrie Dove Catering and Events. We are so glad we did! From early conversations with Adam, to the chef making on the spot adjustments to his menu at our tasting, to last minute emails back and forth with our absolutely wonderful coordinator Victoria, we were happy with them every step of the way. Victoria completely put our minds at ease for every aspect of the wedding, and made the day run as smoothly as possible. The food was delicious, and all of our guests raved about it. Thank you so much, Carrie Dove! -

I wish I could give them 6 out of 5 stars!
Carrie Dove was absolutely the best part of our wedding (aside from the fact that both my husband and I love food). When we first met Carrie Dove, there was no question that we wanted them to be part of our wedding. We instantly hired them to handle everything from our ceremony and reception.
You only plan a wedding once and it can be an overwhelming experience. This is the A+ team you want in your corner.
Carrie Dove went above and beyond to make sure our day was nothing but perfection. They continually astounded us with their attention to detail, high quality of service, and just genuinely good people.
A few examples:
--Months after our wedding, we still have guests telling us that it was the best food and service they have ever experienced at at wedding. People are still raving about the steak, strawberry shortcake desserts, and the strong drinks / fantastic service at our bar.
--We were on a very tight budget and Katherine/Adrianna worked with us to find accommodations that not only met our budget but also ended up being the perfect touches to our reception.
--Adrianna's attention to detail elevated our entire wedding reception to feel so luxurious. She helped me fulfill my "Mariah Carey on a budget" aspirations. Whether it was upgrading certain elements or helping us make minor changes to our seating arrangements, her advice perfectly guided us. Talk about an MVP!!
--Victoria went above and beyond to keep things on track for our ceremony, whether it was directing our florists or hustling the teams to stay on time. I was literally breathless as I walked down the aisle and it's all thanks to her hard work to make our vision come to life...and then some!
Katherine, Adrianna, and Victoria -- thank you for everything!! I plan on using Carrie Dove for all major events in the future. xoxo -

User2769445 Sent on 09/15/2016I honestly don't know where to start with this review. Carrie Dove not only made our wedding day possible, but a dream come true. We ran into a lot of problems with our venue along the way, and Carrie Dove stepped in to pick up all of the pieces, going above and beyond to make sure all of our bases were covered. From the amazing food, to the rentals, and all of the coordination and details in between, I could not more highly recommend a vendor. Katherine was beyond amazing and I don't know what I would have done without her. They were fairly priced, professional and responsive, qualities that are often hard to find in the world of wedding planning. Not only have I recommended them to all of our friends, but a few of our wedding guests stopped the chef on his way out for his card. We were very lucky to find Katherine and are forever grateful to the entire team. -
User2429167 Sent on 11/16/2015We absolutely loved working with Carrie Dove for our wedding. We met with them once early on in our planning process for a tasting, and just loved the food. We worked with both Katherine and Amanda during the process, and Amanda was our consultant during the final stages of planning and the day of. She was amazing! She put so much thought into even the smallest details, and would email me with suggestions about linens etc, which I so appreciated! Carrie Dove handled out catering, service, as well as all of our rentals, and made everything so, so easy on us. The food was also incredible, and our guests were raving for days about how good it was. They also packed us up a huge amount of leftovers to have the next day. The folks who worked during our wedding were so helpful and nice. On multiple occasions one of the waitresses brought me one of our signature cocktails and a plate of appetizers. At every stage Carrie Dove went above and beyond to make our wedding day amazing! Everything was seamless. I highly recommend working with them. -
User2462889 Sent on 12/11/2015Amazing vendor to work with - we had Kit as our event coordinator and we couldn't have been happier - she was patient, warm and gracious. She made sure that everything went smoothly from the planning stages to the day of the event. Adam Dove and Kit were extremely flexible and ensured we got everything we needed while working within a budget. The food was fantastic - our family and friends gave great feedback and some of them are big foodies! Overall, very happy with Carrie Dove!
