Courtney Sent on 05/28/2019Delicious!
John and his wife are a dynamic duo in the kitchen. The food was amazing from the rice pilaf to the hawaiian chicken we chose for our wedding day. Everyone at our wedding raved about the food and how they kept wanting more. John made us feel immediately supported once we met him and was able to adjust to my dietary restrictions. You can feel the genuine kindness and concern to make our day the best within every conversation. I would highly recommend Graystone Catering if you want some delicious food and to meet some great people! -

Alfa Sent on 11/25/2022Food was so delicious
Let me first start off by saying that we found John and his delicious food close to our wedding day and thank God we did! At the time we were stressing because we could not find a cater whose food we both loved and was within our budget. As we know the food is probably one of, if not, the biggest thing people remember and talk about from a wedding. Well people definitely talked about Grey Stone Catering because it was freakin delicious!! After our taste testing appointment we were so excited for everyone else at our wedding to try the food. They day came and of course there were a few hiccups a long the way but John handled it so well. As we went around the tables saying hi to all of our guests everyone kept mentioning how good and delicious the food was, which us so happy to hear. He took care of everything food related which took a huge weight off of our shoulders. Thank you John for everything!
If you are looking for someone to cater your wedding or just any event in general, set up your taste testing appointment. I promise you, you won’t regret it!! -
Royale Sent on 10/16/2017This was by far the most amazing wedding! We got married at big bear Marina resort. Everyone could not stop talking about how wonderful and delicious the food was and how beautiful everything looked. The food is honestly amazing and was a big hit! All Our guests went to breakfast the next day with us and we're still talking about the food! Tammy was so wonderful to work with and made sure everything went according to plan and everything looked perfect. I could not be more impressed and thankful for the both of them. They took care of everything and it was absolutely perfect. I will definitely be hiring them to cater future events.

Jeanette Sent on 05/01/2016I couldn't be happier with Greystone Catering. We choose buffet style and we were concerned that they're might not be enough food but we had more than enough. We even took food home. Everyone loved the chicken and steak. We kept getting asked who our caterer was. John and his wife were very professional and their staff was amazing. We think that at approx 27 a plate it was well worth it. Everyone's had plenty of food and we got nothing but Excellent feedback from everyone! You will not be disappointed.

I left a very detailed review on yelp but to sum it up, I absolutely love Tammy and John. They are so amazing, attentive, and patient. They check on not just the bride but EVERYONE. Also can we talk about the food for a second? All I can say is phenomenal!
Tammy, John, and their team are so phenomenal and I would hire them for all of my future events if I was not moving to Florida! -

Mayra Sent on 08/15/2013My husband and I wanted to leave a review.
We could not be more pleased with your wedding, I was speechless with the service and food. I had too many people give us compliments on the food many wish they could take some home, the chicken the big hit!!!!
Both John and Tammy were so great, Tammy always made sure we were well taken care of on the day of our wedding.
Any help I needed they helped me feel less stressed as long as I gave them direction. If you need a good caterer please make sure to check them out, their food was amazing! They had a plate for us at the end of the night to make sure we savored every bite.
Thank you John and Tammy for all the help and for always responding to all of our questions and for accommodating and requests we had for our wedding.

Rachael Sent on 08/14/2016The only advice I might sincerely offer is don't bother looking any where else for a caterer for your wedding. Greystone catered my daughter's wedding at Pine Rose Resort and, hands down, it was the best wedding food I have ever been served. Everything was delicious, service was extremely courteous, tables were beautiful. I've never heard so many people compliment the meal! Thank you, John, and all of your staff for the superb job! -

Jesi Sent on 07/03/2018LOOK NO FURTHER!!! You will NOT be disappointed by choosing Graystone to cater your event!!! I cannot rave enough about their service, professionalism, and the foooood!!! We had our tasting with John and we were blown away!! Before we even walked out the door we knew that Graystone was our choice to cater our wedding. It could not have been more perfect, and we owe so much of that to John and Graystone. Unlike many weddings, my new husband and I were able to eat all that we wanted and needed before we were bombarded because Chef John personally took the time to take care of us ❤️ Thank you Graystone for making our wedding a dream come true; literally every little girls dream wedding come to life. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was. -

User2253585 Sent on 03/08/2015Our wedding was flawless! Tammy and Carissa were on it to a T. They delivered everything they promised and then some. We would turn around and there was a fresh drink or food on our table. John was on top of emails and answered any questions or concerns we had very promptly and efficiently. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GRAYSTONE CATERING! COuldnt have asked for anything more. -
Susan Sent on 08/21/2018I had my fairytale wedding at Apples B & B, Big Bear Lake. Graystone catering and event planning surpassed my highest expectations for wedding planning, food, and coordination. John and Tammy made our wedding perfect and stress free. I didn’t have to worry about a thing as they took care of every. My guests were well taken care of too and had nothing but praise about the food and service. I highly recommend them.

Haley Sent on 07/22/2019Very Attentive, Kind, Professional with Delicious Food
I recently had my wedding catered by John and amazing wife. They are the nicest people ever! Super accommodating. After the ceremony before we started taking pictures a platter of appetizers were walked down to the wedding party to snack on before photos. After photos and dance we walked up to our couples table and our food was there waiting and hot. It was very cold on my wedding day and my grandmothers and babies had to stay on the lodge. When John found out they hadn’t eaten yet he immediately brought food a drink for all. The food was delicious and the appetizers were amazing. I’m incredibly happy I chose them to cater my wedding. There are many stories of kindness they had done throughout my wedding but the care they provided for elderly and handicapped guest without question really is a testament to how they run their business. Having amazing food and great people who make it really added to my wedding. Thank you so much! -

Taylor Sent on 09/21/2018We recently got married at Skyforest wedding venue and the caterer they use is Graystone Catering. John and Tammy absolutely surpassed my expectations. I have been to so many weddings where the food is typical wedding food and your hungry by 9pm.
Graystone Catering was exactly the opposite. The food was delicious, huge servings and even many of my guests got seconds. John and Tammy served my husband and I and our parents. What sealed the deal was when my uncle literally said he would go to a restaurant to order this food.
The food was 10/10 but what really impressed me and is important to know was the customer service aspect. Tammy, John and their team genuinely cared about our wedding and went above and beyond to make it perfect. The staff was so great to our guests and we are so appreciative.
With the catering you are lucky to get a day of coordinator, Tammy. Tammy is completely organized, went into detail about a week before our wedding absolutely calming my nerves and is an amazing coordinator. I can’t think of one single thing that went wrong with our wedding day and a huge part of that was because of Tammy.
Thank you Graystone for all your hard work and your delicious food. Our wedding day was perfect and we thank you for that! -

Stephanie Sent on 03/11/2020Amazing Caterers for Weddings
We used Graystone Catering for our wedding in September. From our first tasting to the end of the wedding, John and his team were amazing! He was very accommodating when we wanted to change our menu selection. On the day of our wedding, John made sure myself and my husband were taken care of. It was 104 degrees at our outdoor wedding, and our DJ was having equipment issues due to the heat. John and his staff made sure myself and my wedding party were given water and fruit while waiting to walk down the aisle. John personally checked in on us several times throughout the reception to make sure we didn't need anything. We never had to get up for anything; somebody from his team was always there to get us anything we needed. The food was amazing and our guests loved it. His team helped set up the tables before the wedding started as well. Literally anything we needed, they were there to help. They went above and beyond what you expect a caterer to do. They boxed up all the leftovers including the cake for us to take with us. I highly recommend Graystone Catering, you will not be disappointed. Thank you John for helping to make our wedding so memorable. -
Bobbi Sent on 06/20/2018We chose Graystone for our wedding in June and couldn’t be happier with the food and service. To have great wedding food is something special and John and his team truly delivered! Although all the food is fantastic (we tried it all in our tasting) we chose the shrimp shooters, thai salmon, island chicken, rice pilaf, and vegetables. We also had a cheese and fruit display that was delicious and beautiful! Our guests loved all of it!

Adena Sent on 07/02/2011Everything ran smoothly with the catering service at our wedding. Prior to the big day, I could typically get all of my questions answered quickly. The one major glitch that we had was that I used their bartending services, but we still had to handle buying the liquor ourselves. The one issue with that was that I had asked what exactly we needed to get, including how much ice, etc. I had received a response that we needed to get taps, tubs, and ice for the small beer kegs we rented, and how much wine to buy, but that they would handle the ice for the iced tea and water. So fast forward to the night before the wedding, around 10pm, when we and the rest of the bridal party were staying in Twin Peaks at Pine Rose Cabins were the wedding would take place, a town with only one small grocery store by the way, when I get an email from the caterer that he forgot to tell me that we needed to provide 120 lbs. of ice. So the next morning my husband-to-be and one of his groomsmen went on a mission for ice, and could only get about 80 lbs., but I'm pretty sure it didn't all get used anyway. Then fast forward to an hour before the ceremony starts, when we find out that we were supposed to buy plastic cups. That little detail was never, ever mentioned, they just assumed we knew that somehow. So one of our friends once again went on a mountain mission and came back with red, blue, and yellow plastic party cups, as they were the only ones he could find. Everything else in regards to the catering ran smoothly, my only other complaint was that the overall cost seemed a bit high, and I wished I had shopped around a bit more for a better deal. -

Rachel Sent on 06/17/2015I really did enjoy all the food at our wedding. The only issue I ran into was that they set up the fruit appetizer right next to the desert table without setting out any chafing dishes that might indicate dinner was on the way. Some of our guests were confused and thought that only fruit and desert were being served. All around very approachable and helpful. -

User1423045 Sent on 06/07/2013Everything was prefect with the vendor until the day of the rehersal. The coordinator provided (wife) was very pushy and wore her emotions on her sleeve. The day of, a lot of family had to pitch in to set up. I will say that the flavor of the food was great and overall the day was so amazing. Overall the caterer was ok, but I just wish that they had not been so pushy with my guests. -

Kerri Sent on 11/30/2017Won't let me write a long review (but its on yelp) FOOD is AMAZING!! I love it so did my guests! As people very nice -but not the most professional in my books. Also he completely blew me off in month of August, said he wanted to schedule a call gave him a time didn't hear back for almost a month - ok things happen, but close to the wedding - biggest issues - in original contract put I needed linens and Sweetheart table, phone call finally happened, try to talk me out of it so they didn't have to stay the whole time! finally after a little melt down he followed through with it- terrible experience that day. didn't follow through on a few things day of wedding which is biggest disappointment - don't say if don't mean it, problem was John forgot things he said, almost every phone conversation was like "oh did I say that? than ok yes!" and other things, like planning out when to pay, etc. so definitely need to work on the professionalism mostly. The whole process just seemed like a new business working out of their home, yet they have 19 years experience? I would still recommend - the food was delicious and had many compliments, well worth what they charge. But good chefs shouldnt always be running their own businesses ;-)
