    It was such a pleasure to work with Cassie and chef Dawn on our wedding catering and party rentals. The food was amazing and the setup was absolutely beautiful and everything turned out perfect! We even had a few guests come up to us and tell us that this was the best food they have had at any wedding!!

    I knew from the first few minutes of our initial phone conversation with Cassie that Party in a Box would be the absolute best choice for us! Cassie is so professional and immediately gave me confidence knowing that she would handle every detail and I would have nothing to worry about. That gave me such ease of mind and...

    Cassie did a wonderful job creating a unique menu that delighted every one of my guests. She gave me vegan options that were so important to my new husband. The taco bar was a total hit and the jumbo coconut shrimp were scrumptious! Great experience with this company and Cassie :)

    For our wedding we solicited proposals from four reputable caterers who all had experience at our venue, the Ocean Institute. Based on best value, we short listed two of them and conducted a taste test at their facilities and had face to face meetings with the staffs. After this process we wholeheartedly selected Party In A Box for our wedding of 180 guests.

    Cassie and Dawn from Party in a box were OUTSTANDING and PROFESSIONAL in every respect. We had guests with certain allergy requirements and all of these needs were accommodated without hesitation or additional costs.

    On wedding day both ladies and their entire staff were ON IT at all times such that my wife and...

    Party in a Box Catering is fantastic!!!! I have had Chef Dawn's delicious food at several events over the years, and so when my husband and I were planning our wedding last year, I knew instantly that I wanted Party in a Box to be our caterer.
    Chef Dawn and Cassie went over and above our expectations every step of the way. During our tasting, we felt like a king and queen as Chef Dawn presented us with beautifully-arranged, decadent items. We seriously would have selected each and every item she presented us with if we could have. During our tasting, Cassie was incredibly helpful as she walked us through the logistics of the catering and other rentals...

    Party in a box was amazing! I could not have asked for more from Dawn and her staff. From start to finish they exceeded my expectations, from the quality of food to the professionalism of her staff, everything was outstanding. They were unbelievably easy to work with and extremely attentive to every detail so I was truly able to enjoy the special day.
    The food was superb and diverse, from tacos to sushi, everyone raved about it. The staff was quick and efficient at setting up and breaking down the tables and extremely attentive to all the guests. As a professional in the hospitality industry, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any occasion.

    My husband and I were both very happy with the quality of food and the standard of service we received at our wedding. The food was not only delicious but served hot (which doesn't always happen at weddings!) and we had many people say this was the best wedding food they had eaten! The price was affordable and not excessive. Chef Dawn and the staff were very helpful, professional they were very proactive at keeping the reception clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Party in a box catering.

    Party-in-a-Box Catering was recommended by a friend for our November 2nd wedding. After a few phone conversations, we met Chef Dawn and Sharon at their facility, and went over their concepts and gave us a tasting. The food was exquisite, and we placed a deposit; beyond the catering, they included in their cost estimate Sharon's expertise as a Wedding Coordinator. Their confidence and knowledge was enough to convince us to go with them.

    For our actual wedding, everything went perfectly. Sharon created the setting exactly as we had requested, and it exceeded our expectations - the decor was beautiful, the place settings were our requested color scheme, and the tables were well-placed.

    Sharon coordinated well with...

    I highly recommend Party In a Box and will definitely be using them for my next big event. On a day like your wedding, there is so much planning, preparation and many unknowns. Sharon helped me understand what was needed, what wasn't and even provided some great ideas. I knew I was hiring a great caterer, but included in the price came a great planning partner! Even when keeping the food selections minimal for our 100 guests, everyone was VERY satisfied and the food was delicious. The chicken was tender enough to cut with a fork and had a decadent flavor. We had to try the cheese spread for cocktail hour and we were so glad we did! The...

    We used Party in a Box Catering for our daughters wedding in Dana Point, CA. They hosted a testing dinner prior and we were able to discuss all the details and gain their suggestions. We had 4 different appetizers, which were hand served and a cheese, fruit and nut (amazing) spread. At the venue the ovens were not working properly yet Chef Dawn had done business with another local vene and her team quickly called them and drove there to finish the meals. We rearranged a couple things and no one even knew!

    The staff was so professional and the buffet tables were professionally decorated in conjunction to our beach themes. Comments we got from the guest...

    They were amazing for my wedding. The food was great! Even after the ovens stopped working in the middle of the wedding they drove the food to another location to be cooked and dinner was only 15 minutes late. I would highly recommend them for a wedding or any event

    Sharon was great to work with in making our wedding a huge success. Everyone loved the food and the how the venue was set up was spectacular. We couldn't of been happier with how everything turned out. Our guest loved the food as they get up for seconds and even thirds.

    Dawn and her staff did an amazing job at our wedding. We are so pleased and our guests kept commenting on the delicious food. After our tasting with Dawn, we knew that she would be one of our favorite vendors.
    Dawns warm personality and customer service really shine through. Anytime we needed to contact her or ask a question....she responded promptly.

    If you want good food, customer service and your guests to be happy...hire Party In A Box Catering for your wedding!!

    I love Party In A Box Catering! The food, the service, the correspondence, the people...all perfect! I interviewed a few caterers, but when it came down to it, the choice was easy in going with Party In a Box. Sharon worked with my budget, provided valuable guidance & was very patient with me. She was prompt in her correspondence & always made me feel like a valuable client. She really helped to make the wedding planning experience very enjoyable! On the day of the wedding, I was completely relaxed knowing that I could trust in Sharon & her team to make sure the wedding went smoothly! Chef Dawn is also a master chef! The food was delicious!

    Our wedding reception was at Ocean Institute in Dana Point on August 25, 2012. Sharon and Chef Dawn of Party in the Box Catering are just the most amazing talented ladies I’ve had the pleasure to work with! Sharon was so nice to me from the very start. She always got back to me and gave me estimates on many different types of packages and she's an an amazing coordinator! She will follow through on all your instructions and then make suggestions that shows her experience and considerate level of care for you and your guests (i.e.; picking up your party favors, Hawaiian leis and seating chart, etc. ahead of time so you don’t have to; or suggest to...

    I cannot express how glad I am to have worked with Party in a Box for my wedding day!!! I don't even know where to begin!!! My husband and I are in our mid-20s, and we had to pay for almost everything so our budget was pretty tight. Nonetheless, Sharon had worked with us from beginning to end. They accommodated, but there was nothing that seemed accommodated about the service, decor, and the food at all. It EXCEEDED it by far!! There was nobody with an empty cup bc all the staff were on it, the food was awesome, and not once did I have to worry or check up on them. I felt I could rely on them...

    Dear Sharon & Dawn,

    On behalf of Devon & Dave and our families I cannot thank you enough for the spectacular event you provided at their wedding last night. You and your team were exceptional with every detail and your friendly courteous service top notch! The entire event was beautiful and exactly what they wanted.

    Sharon, you are the best at what you do in all areas. The decor blended perfectly with Devon's theme and you are brilliant in your execution of the evenings activities. You made wonderful suggestions and worked wonders with our budget. We should have you running all major events!

    Always wonderful to have Sharon and Party In A Box Catering make the day special. We celebrated a private 69th year wedding anniversary in our home with friends and family.

    Needless to say, we just showed up and enjoyed the atmosphere among 4 generations, while delicious food and high end service came our way.

    They go the extra mile and we always make sure to pass on their contact information to people looking for catering and much more. Another great event.
    Thanks

    Party in a Box Catering did our daughter's wedding on Saturday 9/15/12. It was a wonderful event! Sharon was a delight to work with! Saturday was the hottest day on record - and everything still was wonderful! The reason I went with Party in a Box was that I needed more than just a caterer who supplied the food. Sharon also acted as the coordinator...she did it all! - and did it well! The food was outstanding! Many guests went back for seconds! Sharon's eye for detail was visible everywhere from the buffet tables to the beverage station. Nothing was overlooked. Our daughter's wedding was a beachy themed casual wedding and Sharon had beautiful decorations with starfish, sand dollars...
