    Magical Wedding Masterpiece

    Beth and her team at La Pera were, in a word, astounding. From the moment we met at the tasting, we could tell they were going to take the time to create something custom and unique for our wedding. We felt that she listened to our needs and was very easy and flexible when we wanted a different option or needed to change something. On the day of, her team was very efficient with their time and were very willing to work around our venue's needs in regards to set up. The staff was very caring and attentive to our guests, and it was apparent that they put a lot of love into their work. The overall presentation of our food was stunning, and guests could not stop complimenting the food. We will be dreaming about that meal for the rest of our lives! Beth was a wonderful person to work with for such a stressful occasion, as she made it easy and comfortable to make decisions and work through various options. I would recommend La Pera a thousand times over due to their incredible service they provide. It is clear they have a lot of love for what they do! Cheers. :)

    Informal yet formal delicious food!!!

    La Pera brought our wedding dinner dreams to life!! We wanted an informal yet formal meal with tacos. They absolutely delivered. Their tacos are absolutely delicious; the food presentation is gorgeous; the team is helpful and diligent. My husband and I would choose them again in a heartbeat, and you should definitely choose them!!

    Spectacular food and first-class service! Very adaptable to dietary needs.

    La Pera were the masterminds behind creating and delivery the most extraordinary gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free menu for our Laguna Gloria wedding. Every one of our guests were completely floored by the catering and bar and still can’t stop telling us how much they loved it (especially the prickly pear paloma!). They went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary needs with such ease and style. The food was spectacularly flavorful, original, and satisfying (e.g. chili-rubbed salmon, paella, brisket bolinho). The honey lavender goat cheese balls went so fast that our photographer only got a picture of the toothpicks! La Pera’s full-service staff handled every aspect of our reception seamlessly and gracefully. We would work with them again in a heartbeat!

    Best tacos in Austin!

    My husband and I can't say enough good things about La Pera! Their food (and drinks!) won us over, and Beth and the team is so pleasant to work with! We absolutely loved the menu and drinks they put together for us, we always wanted tacos for our wedding here in Austin, but there's are elevated and delicious, perfect for an Austin wedding. Wish we could eat their food every week!! :D

    La Pera's reply:

    Aww you two!! THANK YOU SO MUCH - it was an absolute honor to serve you and your family at your wedding this last month, such a gorgeous setup & beautiful celebration.

    We are working on a brick & mortar location and hope to be able to make the dreams of having those tacos all the time come true sooner than later! Will absolutely keep you two updated there ;)

    Congrats to you two for tying the knot in style, we are so thrilled for you both in this new chapter of life & love!

    La Pera is La-mazing!

    Their service is top-notch and their food is down right indulgent. La Pera is always supportive to my event planning team and appropriately reactive to the inevitable changes that occur on event day. During the planning process, their team was friendly and accommodating. As a professional in the events industry, I couldn't recommend them more! Choose La Pera as your event / wedding caterer!

    La Pera is amazing

    The food at La Pera is unbelievable. So many unique and fun flavors that I will never forget. Plus, the friendliest catering team ever. I can't wait to work with them again.

    Incredible food and easy to work with

    My husband and I got married back in March 2020 and La Pera catered our wedding. We were extremely happy that we chose La Pera! For one, the food was incredible. Every dish was super fresh, colorful, unique, and delicious. We got so many compliments on the food. Even now, many months later, guests still talk about the food. Also Lisa and the rest of the La Pera team were awesome to work with. We were somewhat high maintenance and had a lot of questions, specific needs and requests, and a budget that we wanted to stay within. Throughout the whole process La Pera, especially Lisa, were incredibly accommodating and patient. Thank you Lisa! On the wedding day the staff was excellent and very attentive towards us and our guests. Book La Pera! You will not be disappointed!

    Trust me, hire them!

    Hire them!! La Pera catered my wedding early 3/2020 and did an incredible job. When we first contacted La Pera as a potential vendor, they were friendly and accommodating to the wide range of dietary restrictions (some people are vegan and others are meat and cheese people). They put together a gorgeous tasting menu and worked with us as we went through to design our wedding's menu that fit our taste and our budget. They were kept in contact through our year of planning., being very flexible as a few needs changed, and when the day came, CRUSHED it! They were very attentive to each guest and as well as my new husband and I. Everyone loved their custom cocktails, apps, dinner, and latte night snack. I could not recommend this group more.

    Best wedding caterer in Austin!

    We loved working with La Pera! Our wedding guests all loved the food (as did we!), and they were the nicest and most communicative vendor we worked with. The menus was incredible, and every dish (and drink!) fantastic. Will absolutely hire again next time we need catering!

    The best wedding decision we made!

    Oh man, the praises I could sing about La Pera. We fell in LOVE with the many tastes and textures of their food - their menu ideas are so unique and delicious; I was dreaming about our wedding day brunch menu for months after our tasting. The team is thoughtful and responsive and was incredibly helpful in making our day special, including bottling their incredible salsa for favors and helping personalize small details, like a boudain fritter tower in place of a groom's cake. Friends and family raved about their food and my partner and I found ourselves looking forward to leftovers when we had a few guests not be able to make it last minute.

    All this to say - please book with La Pera. Their team and work is incredibly special and unique, and they contributed more to the overall vibe of our wedding than I could have ever believed possible. You will love them!

    Perfection

    We absolutely loved everything and so did our guests!! 1st of all they were so easy to work with, super quick to respond and so accommodating! I live 300 miles away so it was harder to plan out tastings and stuff and they worked with us so easily! When we met for the tasting everybody was so sweet and excited for us and they prepared all of our top 10 choices! The wedding ran so smooth and we ended up having a lot of "yes" RSVPs not showing up so the food count was kind of even more perfect. I'm a chef too, so my main wedding concern was food and cake and they knocked it out of the park! I kept having people come up to me throughout the night, everybody was raving about how delicious the food was! My husband and I made time to eat too and they even packaged us up meals for ourselves! Thank you so much La Pera!!

    Went Above & Beyond for Our Last Minute Event!

    We had a client who was one month out from her wedding with no caterer and the obvious choice was La Pera! Lisa helped us from beginning to end and didn't let one detail slip through the cracks despite it being crunch time. Something that La Pera brings to the table that really stands out from the crowd is their unique displays - I mean their stations were PERFECTLY curated to match the theme of the wedding, complete with the cutest menu displays! Incredible value and a pleasure to work with!!

    La Pera's reply:

    Thank you so much Alex!

    We definitely had the dream team for Kalen & Britt's big day & had such an incredible time working with you

    La Pera did an excellent job for our wedding!! We had a previous caterer go out of business literally three days before our wedding, and La Pera was recommended to us. They were able to step in last minute and create a menu that aligned perfectly with our overall vision. Our guests were raving about the food, and the specialty cocktail (prickly pear Paloma). They turned a disaster into a perfect dinner. All of the staff were excellent as well!

    Amazing Caterer!

    Working with La Pera was so easy and they were so accommodating from staffing, bartending, rentals & the amazing food. Presentation was beautiful from the appetizers to dinner & dessert. They worked so well with the other vendor team and service was top notch. Would recommend to any that loves food and needs a full service caterer for their wedding, La Pera is one of a kind!

    Yummiest food everrr

    Where to begin?! La Pera is freaking awesome. They have SUCH tasty and unique food and the presentation!! Beth is very detail oriented and creates the most visually appealing treats and displays, and everything tastes just as delicious as it looks. If you're looking to delight your guests with yummy, yet unique treats and want something out of the box, La Pera is the caterer for you! Thank Beth for being such a talented chef and an amazing person inside and out! xoxo

    LaPera made our day DELICIOUS!

    We recently celebrated our wedding in Ausitn, TX and hired LaPera for catering and bar services. THEY KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. On the day of, the staff was friendly, timely, and our guests couldn't say enough nice things about how delicious the food was or how amazing the drinks were. We worked with LaPera to create a custom menu that incorporated food from each side of our families (lumpia, pierogis) that they used from local shops. In order to promote additional safety measures, we worked with LaPera to have chef-attended food stations (food fest style) and serve passed appetizers. They created these cute 'jarcuterie' cups to serve their famous LaGraza board but individual style. Our guests LOVED this. They were also very accommodating with any food allergies and dietary restrictions that we provided for our guests. For our main courses, we had a perfectly crisp but juicy salmon and a mouth-water short-rib with purple potato mash that our guests still talk about today.

    Honestly, one of the best meals we've ever had and we are so glad we actually got to enjoy the food at our wedding! They also provided us 'to-go' boxes for us to eat after the fact.

    For the bar, we had a signature cocktail 'Make your own Gin and Tonic' that had multiple tonic options and fresh berry/fruit/herb additions that you can customize for your drink order. It was a hit! We also were able to serve this in a mocktail format for those guests who do not / or were unable to drink. Would definitely recommend them for bar services as well since it's such a seamless experience!

    We absolutely loved the taste and service the day of! We did have a few issues with communication - with the pandemic and a few other things (as most places were this past year and a half) - we did not receive as timely of a response as we were looking for, but we were able to work together and get everything sorted out before the big day!

    Thanks to the staff of LaPera for making our day DELICIOUS!

    Cheers, Erin & Alan (9-5-21)

    Super reliable and delicious food

    I really enjoyed working with Lisa and Bethany to plan my milestone birthday party. They worked in my favorite treats on the grazing boards, had some great suggestions for paired cocktails (which they also served), and really wowed everyone with the food, desserts especially. I'd definitely use them again and recommend them to folks who want a reliable vendor who knows how to make delicious food.

    Ghosted Us - Very Disappointing

    We were so excited to book La Pera and they ghosted us after asking for two contract edits. They could have simply told us their agreement could not be altered and we probably would have still signed as we loved the food. Our Venue reached out as well in attempt to help us get a hold of someone and they never responded to them either. Very disappointing and unprofessional.
