  Catering Connection is the best!

  Catering Connection made our wedding dreams a reality! Every detail, from the mouthwatering appetizers (seriously, the bacon wrapped dates were the best!) to the attentive service, was absolutely perfect. If you are lucky enough to work with Casey, you will not be sorry! She was a pleasure to work with and honestly made the whole process as easy as possible. Overall, Catering Connection exceeded our expectations in almost every way. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

  Wonderful service!

  Thank you KB Events for recommending Casey and her team from Catering Connection. From the start CC were always available, prompt, and accommodating to our request. The day finally arrives for a full wedding at the Santa Barbara Court House and your hoping your choices from appetizers, a grazing table, the bar and family style meal for 100+ would be the right choice for you and your guest.
  Casey and her team brought a wonderful experience with excellent bartenders, delicious food, her chef, many others behind the scenes to put out a meal with many guest complementing everything that Catering Connection did for us.

  Absolutely amazing!

  They were absolutely amazing! Casey and her team took care of everything and helped make our day perfect! She made sure we ate (Both apps and dinner), drinks were full and guests were all happy. They were the absolute best and I would 1000% use them again. They helped with planning every little detail along the way, and helped us make decisions. She even helped organize other vendors and rentals for the big day! Casey and her team made it a flawless and perfect day from start to finish! I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Oh and the food was mouth watering and as delicious or more delicious than the tasting!

  Amazing food and service!

  We were so impressed by the food and service at our wedding and received so many compliments! Casey is so organized and was so helpful throughout the wedding planning process and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. As our venue did not provide any rentals, Casey was also able to coordinate with a local rentals team for us. This meant we had one less vendor to coordinate with, so this was a huge plus as we found that not all catering companies do this. Overall a great local business to work with and would highly recommend the Catering Connection team!

  Fabulous food

  My daughter chose Catering Connection for both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception so we had a chance to sample many selections. ALL WERE TERRIFIC. The wedding guests included many with dietary considerations and delicious options were available to fit all needs. I would highly recommend this company.

  Hiring Catering Connection was one of our best decisions!

  There aren't enough words to describe just how awesome Casey and the rest of the Catering Connection team were to work with for our April 2023 wedding! From our tasting, to handling last minute adjustments, to truly INCREDIBLE food on the day-of, there was literally nothing that could have gone better. Guest after guest have reached out saying that this was the best wedding food they've ever had (both the entrees and the cocktail hour hors 'derves), and the signature cocktails were nothing short of amazing (again, guests were stunned by the presentation and taste of all our drinks). The entire team was professional, super friendly, and accommodating for everyone to everyone in attendance. Casey made sure my husband and I were well cared for throughout the night, and importantly, made sure we ate our own share of apps and dinner :) Thank you so so soooo much to the team, we are so grateful for all that you did to make our wedding seriously perfect. We can't recommend Casey and her team enough!!!

  The best of the best!

  Casey and the team at catering connection are amazing! They catered my wedding and they went above and beyond to make sure the day ran smoothly. I had a last minute gluten free guest and they were able to provide a meal change the day of the event. Not only is their food amazing but their staff is lovely and very professional. Casey is a brides best friend and made sure that my husband and I actually ate food in between running around for pictures. I cannot recommend catering connection enough, from the initial phone call to the day of the event, they were wonderful every step of the way!

  Total Confidence in this vendor before and after wedding day

  Casey Garrett was our contact. She was obviously experienced and offered many creative ideas and solutions as the plan for our ceremony and event for 125 guests unfolded. She gave me confidence and she was able to improve the wedding experience by a good deal. The food preparation and service was lovely. I highly recommend Catering Connection.

  The Perfect Wedding Caterer

  I cannot say enough kind words about Catering Connection, we made the best decision to use them for a vineyard wedding with ~115 guests in November 2022. My husband and I are both vegetarian, and Catering Connection worked with us to create a menu that our guests were raving about weeks after the wedding. I have a friend specifically requesting the arancini for her wedding this year! Casey was so incredibly helpful in arranging the rentals, helping with the site layout and other logistical tasks leading up to the wedding. Always responsive and helpful, I felt so supported through the whole planning process. Wait staff and bartenders were super friendly and attentive the whole evening. Do yourself a favor and pick Catering Connection for your wedding day!

  A Truly Fantastic Wedding Caterer!

  My husband and I hired Catering Connection for our 10/22/22 Santa Ynez wedding. From the very beginning, Casey made sure we were taken care of and got a quote turned around in record time with a variety of options. Their prices were incredibly reasonable and made it so we could opt for a station serving style rather than a traditional buffet. Since our wedding was at a private residence, Casey also helped work with Ventura Party Rentals so that we could get everything we needed for our big day.
  We ended up going with passed appetizers, welcome drinks, and then three stations for dinner: Market Station (3 delicious salad options), a Flatbread station ( 3 mouthwatering flatbread/pizza options), and a carving station (TriTip and Chicken). They also helped bring everything needed to serve our cake which we bought ourselves, and put together a display with delicious macaron cookies.
  My husband and I have been to a LOT of weddings over the past few years, and, even though I am sure I am biased, I have to say that the food at our wedding was hands down the BEST! People were commenting all night about how amazing the chicken and flatbreads were, and there was enough variety to account for even the pickiest of eaters. The entire Catering Connection staff was very warm and easy to work with.
  We also used CC as a licensed bartender. We did BYOB and had a signature margarita cocktail. My only regret was that the cocktails were SO good, they ran out in the first 2 hours! Not the fault of CC, unless you count making delicious drinks a downside! The bartenders were very professional but also easy to talk to. Our guests commented on how wonderful all the staff was throughout the night, which was another wedding first for us.
  There is nothing that we would have changed about our catering experience (except maybe making sure we ate EVEN more on the night of instead of walking around and talking to our guests!). I HIGHLY recommend Catering Connection for all your wedding catering needs. Thank you, Casey and team!

  Highly Recommend Catering Connection

  Catering Connection was part of the wedding team that made our day very special. CC came highly recommended to us by our wedding planner. She assured us the food would be great and Casey was a pleasure to work with. Over the course of our 2 year engagement, we designed a menu with Casey’s help, met with her several times, tasted food, changed the menu more, and finally it all came together in October. CC (Casey in particular) was extremely patient with us and helped us figure out what we wanted. Her expertise gave us piece of mind that everything would turn out great, and it did! The food, service, and presentation were exactly what we wanted. I so appreciate that Casey made it her mission to make sure Daniel and I ate during the dinner service. It showed not only her experience, but how much she cared. We are so appreciative of the entire CC team!

  Perfection

  My husband and I used Catering Connection for our recent wedding. Casey was easy to work with and delightful from our first meeting at the tasting appointment--which was beautiful and personalized for us.
  
  Casey not only handled the catering and a ton of logistics, she managed our rentals, and even referred us to a wonderful musician that we used for our cocktail hour. She made sure we weren't forgetting anything and was always service driven in all interactions. Simply put, she was a delight and was a real human with sincerity.
  
  Our wedding started off with welcome snacks/drinks, followed by cocktail hour with a salsa bar/chips/guac, passed chicken empanadas, tuna poke, and butternut squash soup shooters. SO GOOD. For Dinner we chose flank steak with chimichurri, halibut with strawberry balsamic reduction, red potatoes, asparagus, California baby greens salad, and a selection of breads. Not too expansive per our request, but it was more than enough food and was delish in every way.
  
  Casey was attentive and thoughtful--she made sure we had our drinks post ceremony, separate apps so we got to try it all, and timed our dinner for us so it was hot when we came back from a little golden hour photo sneak away.
  
  We did not originally come in with high hopes based our experience at previous weddings, where you typically don't even remember the food. Since the wedding, we have had multiple guests reach out to let us know the food was GREAT!
  
  If we were to do this day again, we wouldn't change one thing! Thanks Casey and the whole CC crew. :)

  We had the best experience!!

  Catering Connection is the absolute BEST! We had a last minute wedding planned in Montecito and found them online. Casey and her team worked with our crazy schedule and budget to create the most magical night! Our guests were in awe of how delicious the food was, and how beautiful the presentations were. The staff was so kind, accommodating and fun to be around. I can't say enough about them. They'll always be our number one choice for any special events.

  Catering Connection Perfection

  One of the first decisions I made for our son’s wedding welcome party was choosing Catering Connection as our caterer. They had excellent reviews & we could not have been more pleased with their food, service & professionalism. We did a large welcome party for all 145 wedding guests with passed appetizers, drinks, bartenders & full taco bar followed by desserts. They also proved all furniture & rentals. Absolutely loved everything.. highly recommend!

  Absolutely Amazing!

  We can't thank Catering Connection enough for helping make our day so special! The food was incredible and our guests raved about it! Casey was so incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. She went above and beyond to help us bring our vision to life! We can't recommend Casey and the Catering Connection team enough! The best!

  The BEST experience all around

  I cannot recommend Catering Connection more highly. I am incredibly detailed and particular, so it's no surprise that my wedding followed suit. Casey and the Catering Connection team worked with me to bring my vision to life and far exceeded my expectations. She was wonderful to collaborate with throughout the process; kind, open-minded, fair and insightful. The food turned out so well that guests still tell me how much they loved it, all while being entirely gluten free. The staff was professional and thoughtful. Once the wedding came around, I didn't have to give anything a second thought. Catering Connection will be at the top of my list for any future events, and they should be at the top of yours for consideration as well.

  This team does magic, they really do

  I’m not sure where to even begin…
  Being both from South America the two most important things at our wedding were food (Peruvian/ Ecuadorian) and drinks. We reached out to Catering Connection with this very specific request and they said they could do it! Now… our friends and family take food very seriously so the bar was definitely high. All our fears disappeared after our tasting appointment. This literally tasted like a homemade cozy peruvian meal!! How did they do it? Magic
  The desserts? Talk about a spread of south american desserts!!!
  The cocktails? Try finding someone else that can make pisco sours from scratch at the bar.. I dare you!
  However, the food was not the best part of it this amazing team. IT WAS THE SERVICE! Casey, is a life saver! We had some issues with our planner, what did Casey do? She found us a new one within 48 hours! The day of the wedding, my husband and I were very well taken cared for. Our families had drinks on their hands at all times. Our friends still rave about the food and the drinks. Our wedding was a dream and Casey, Ursula, Phi and all the Catering Connection team made it happen.
  Do you want amazing food at your wedding with no stress and the best service? Call CC.. they will 100% make the impossible happen!

  Catering Connection was amazing for our wedding!

  Casey and the Catering Connection team was so helpful and amazing to work with for our wedding! You can feel their care and energy with every form of communication. Every detail was taken into account. Our tasting on site in SB was incredible and the day of the event went smoothly. Everyone noticed how well taken care of the guests were. Cheers!

  Casey and Catering Connection are THE BEST

  Catering Connection is incredible. Our wedding (5/14/22) was SO fun and everything went so smoothly and I know this is in huge part due to Casey and the staff at Catering Connection. They are so much more than a caterer. Our venue was at Godric Grove in Elings Park and required we bring everything in. We secured all of our rentals through Catering Connection and I am so glad we did- it was super easy and because they had done many weddings at our venue they knew exactly how everything would look/fit and everything looked amazing on the big day. Casey was an absolute dream to work with. She's very professional, thought of every detail, and was so sweet and accommodating. From our first phone call with her to the actual event, communication was timely, easy, and I knew we were in very good hands. The food was amazing, the drinks were perfect and always flowing. The staff went above and beyond and helped my grandparents to their seats right after the ceremony and brought them apps and drinks. They also delivered a full plate of food to my husband and me so we didn't have to go through the buffet line and could continue mingling with guests. Everything was seamless and I was in a state of bliss all day. Casey and Catering Connection have my absolute highest recommendation.

  Great experience with Catering Connection!

  My wife and I were so impressed and pleased with our experience with Catering Connection. Everything from the initial communications, planning, and food tasting with Casey through the execution of the event with Philippe, the Catering Connection team covered every detail and worked diligently to provide the exact experience we desired. We hosted a small (60 guests), buffet-style wedding in Santa Barbara on a busy wedding weekend in May, yet Catering Connection made us feel like we were their only client. Many of our guests commented numerous times on the quality of the food and service provided by their wait staff. We highly recommend Catering Connection to any couple or team planning a wedding or other event!

  Professional, Responsive and Organized!

  We had a small family wedding (25 people) in Santa Barbara and Catering Connection treated us like the most important clients on the books. Casey and her team worked with us to find a menu that was delicious and fit our budget while still feeling upscale and elegant. The day of the wedding, the Catering Connection team arrived right on time and set up for the event efficiently and with a lot of care. I can't recommend them highly enough. One of the easiest, best decisions we made while planning our weeding. Thank you Catering Connection!

  Can't Recommend Catering Connection Enough!

  Catering Connection went above and beyond to make our day perfect! Our guest raved about the delicious food and excellent service. Their whole team was responsive and easy to work with leading up the event. Casey in particular always answered all my questions - no matter how detailed. I really recommend working with them on rentals as well since that took a lot of stress off me leading up to the big day. So pleased we selected Catering Connection for our wedding and hope to work with them again on other events.

  Amazing experience & loved working with Casey

  I am so glad that we hired Catering Connection for our small wedding last month. Casey was such a pleasure to work with and was incredibly professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. Because we were having such a small event, we chose not to hire a planner - meaning I had so many more questions than I anticipated, yet Casey was patient and helpful through it all. She definitely went above and beyond throughout the whole process, and even helped us decide on and coordinate rentals.
  
  Catering Connection was also able to execute custom requests for us such as deviled eggs, bacon wrapped shrimp, prime grade meat, and keto desserts. Everything was beautifully plated and delicious, and our families are still talking about how great the food was (particularly rave reviews of the baked brie on the charcuterie plate). The day-of staff were prompt, efficient, and kind. The day went so smoothly and better than expected. Please do yourself a favor and hire this team as well!

  Color me impressed

  We hired Catering Connection to cater our wedding of 129 guests at the Santa Barbara Courthouse in November 2021 and had an amazing experience from start to finish. We had tried another caterer which came from a recommendation but found the food to only be so-so (not to mention more expensive). Knowing we had many excellent Italian cooks on our guest list, we knew the food had to be A++.
  
  We set up a tasting and were so impressed by the quality of the food but also the variety of hors d'oeuvres and entrees. Casey handled our wedding from day one and was outstanding with answering our questions (of which there were many). The day of our guests were all raving about the food. A month later we're still hearing outstanding feedback. Special shoutout to their lovely employees who made a point of preparing us a plate of our hors d'oeuvres so we could actually eat the food we purchased - incredible!! Catering Connection is fantastic and we'd hire them again in a heartbeat.
