    Amazing Chef and Catering Co.!

    Robin is the best—she was so calm, professional, and warm leading up to the wedding during the planning process and made me feel so at ease. From the tasting to the day of, I was amazed by her work. The food was absolutely delicious and her whole team was incredible. Thank you, Perfect Day!

    Highly recommend!!!

    Robin, Shannon and the team at Perfect Day Catering were incredible! Their communication leading up to the wedding was amazing and they really paid attention to detail, which was greatly appreciated! On top of that they were friendly, professional, organized, and worked with us to stay within our budget. They listened to our feedback at our tasting, and the food on wedding day was perfect! We had a taco bar and our photographer even said it was the best Mexican food she's ever had at a wedding! Our cake was also spot on and exactly what we wanted! We were just so impressed with their services - they really went above and beyond what we imagined. They even made sure to bring us appetizers while taking photos during cocktail hour and checked on us throughout the reception, refilling our drinks several times. They were so efficient and were in and out without a hitch. We’re so grateful to them for helping us with our “perfect day” and would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone!

    Perfect Food for a Perfect Day!

    Robin was fantastic! Everyone loved the food and the service was amazing. I would recommend this caterer to anyone. Robin took the stress out of worrying about the guests. They also had an option to hire bartenders. Thank you Robin!

    Beautiful menu and even more wonderful service!

    Lunch Lady Catering really helped make our day special for us and our guests! Their staff helped set the tables and helped serve our guests. We had a buffet style, but we were pleasantly surprised when it was time to eat and one of the staff members actually made up two full plates of the food and brought me and my now husband our plates right to our table. It really helped us relax and get some time to eat (hard when it's the big day!). They have a wonderful range of menu items so you can customize how you'd like your wedding menu, including appetizers. Afterwards, their staff also helps clear off the tables as well, which was really nice. We loved the food and the staff was super friendly and pleasant. We highly recommend them!

    The Best choice we made for our wedding

    Booking Lunch Lady Catering for our wedding was the best choice my fiance and I ever made! Robin was able to help us put together an amazing team of vendors on short notice, as we changed our plans to deal with Covid closing our venue and changing our date- twice!

    The experience of having a menu customized to fit our vegan diet, but still appeal to all of our guests, was amazing! The food was beautifully presented, and tasted fresh and delicious. The staff was considerate and helpful, and went to great lengths to keep all of our guests comfortable and safe. And the bartenders rocked!!!!

    Thanks Lunch Lady!

    YUMMY and Amazing Service

    We absolutely loved having LLC cater our wedding this past June. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff was amazing as well. From setting up the morning/early afternoon before our ceremony and reception, to enjoying our dinner after we exchanged vows, LLC staff was so friendly and helpful. The food was also amazing! I am so glad that we chose LLC as our caterer.

    Amazing food and great service

    We did a lot of research for caterers for our wedding in Arnold California and honestly could not of been happier that we decided to go with Lunch Lady Catering on the recommendation of our wedding coordinator Erin Betts.
    We dealt with Kris from LLC and from the beginning she was very positive and flexible to accommodate our needs (dietary requirements, guest fluctuations and even special desserts that were off menu). Kris and her team came in and set up a full kitchen onsite, set up a bar and all the table settings.
    Kris had great recommendations for our menu based on time of day and even time of year for seasonal fruits and vegetables. All of the food presented very well and tasted amazing. We had a few dietary requirements and these we no issue at all for LLC and these meals were great also.
    I would highly recommend Lunch Lady Catering for any style event in the Arnold area.

    Lunch Lady Catering

    Lunch Lady Catering provided all of the food for our wedding and rehearsal dinner this past weekend at Union Hill Inn. We went with her company purely off of reviews since we live out of the area & are so happy that we chose LLC. My husband & I received many compliments about the amazing food! Kris was easy to work with, responsive to any emails I sent & very accommodating. Her staff members were all professional and charming. Kris truly made the process of choosing a caterer and menu an easy one. The execution was amazing and all of the displays not only tasted delicious but looked phenomenal!
    Thanks again Kris & staff!

    Lunch Lady Catering 5/5

    Lunch Lady Catering (LLC) catered our wedding this past year, Dec 29, 2018 at Union Hill Inn, Sonora, CA. Kris and her team well deserve all five stars as the team went above and beyond and expressed great customer service from the first tasting to the time of breakdown! The fact the LLC was a preferred vendor recommended by our venue, was a plus, but after tasting their food, I was assured we were in great hands.
    Leading up to the big day, Kris was well prepared, on time and had her team ready to go based on our timeline and previous discussions. Overall, the day was absolutely perfect, and the food was phenomenal! I am an event planner myself and will be adding LLC to my vendor contact list for my future clients. Thank you, Lunch Lady Catering! Love, The Wirbick’s
    A good customer service experience:
    Due to the cold weather, our guests entered the reception hall earlier than anticipated. With that being said, LLC had to act fast and did their best to bring out the food quicker than scheduled, not to mention, everyone knows how important a timeline is, especially when it comes to serving a plated dinner for 200 guests.

    Amazing! Highly Recommend!!!

    Kris from LLC was absolutely amazing to work with her, and her team did such an awesome job on the big day! She was extremely responsive, provided great recommendations, and assisted with rental coordination as well. Every little detail was taken care of on the big day - I was able to sit back, relax, and truly enjoy the moment with my friends and family. A HUGE thank you to Kris and the LLC family! I HIGHLY recommend them!

    We absolutely loved Lunch Lady Catering! We explored a few different catering companies and none could compare to LLC’s price, quality, and service. We used their services for both our rehearsal dinner and July 2018 wedding reception. We had guests at the wedding who were in the catering business and they were thoroughly impressed! All of our guests told us how yummy the food was and we certainly agreed. The homemade pickles from our rehearsal dinner were seriously the best pickles I’ve ever had and I need to make an order soon! I would recommend Kris and her team if you are looking for caterers who are creative, attentive, and passionate about what they do.

    Warm thanks,
    Lauren & Cory

    We hired Lunch Lady Catering for our wedding at Brice Station Vineyard and could not have been happier! From the beginning Kris was super easy to work with and we were easily able to sort out all the details through email. She asked what kind of food we liked and from there she created a proposed menu which looked amazing and we had zero changes to. She had no problems creating a buffet menu that was strictly pescatarian (meaning only fish, no meat or chicken) for our big day. We had a few friends that were skeptical of the no meat, but so many wedding guests commented on how great the food was and that they could be vegetarian if it meant eating like that all the time. All the food had so much flavor!

    Kris’s attention to detail was on point as well. We went for a tasting of all the items a few months before the wedding and my now husband mentioned how I like to put Tapatio (hot sauce) on everything and even carry little packets of it in my purse. Well, when I sat down at our sweatheart table on the big day, she had packets of Tapatio there for me with a sweet little note. It was so cute and I used a bunch of them!

    Her staff was awesome as well, they were constantly checking in with my husband and I throughout the day seeing if we needed anything at all. Kris also made our cupcakes for us and let me tell you they were a big hit. My favorite was the mint chip cupcakes! So good. I would not hesitate to use Lunch Lady again, they were a big success for our wedding and everything ran so smoothly and was delicious!

    Kris and her amazing team at Lunch Lady catered our wedding, and we could not possibly have been more satisfied. Kris was a joy to work with, and completely flexible regarding our numbers and serving preferences. She put together a menu that made our mouths water the second we opened the file, and was happy to adapt it to our tastes. The menu was also so well-balanced that our vegetarian and gluten-free guests were able to enjoy a full dinner without any special meals needing to be prepared. And the food! Even after anticipating it for months and months, we were totally blown away - everybody went home stuffed!

    Kris also connected us with a rental company and worked closely with us to make sure that we had all the equipment we needed to get the experience we wanted, without paying more than we had to. We never felt that she was trying to sell us things we didn't need, or pushing us away from the vision we had for our day. In the end, everything was absolutely perfect, and many of our guests told us that they had never eaten a better meal at a wedding. We are so pleased to have discovered Lunch Lady Catering!

    Lunch Lady Catering did such a great job from start to finish! Their food was amazing, and they also provided amazing service! They were so attentive to my husband and I and brought us food and drinks, and even brought us a tray of appetizers and champagne right after the ceremony. The bartenders were so sweet and our guests loved them. Her Caesar salad was hands down my favorite thing!! All of the food was amazing though. Thank you so much Kris for helping to make our day so special and tasty!!

    I had the pleasure of having Lunch Lady Catering cater my wedding on 4/23/17 at Big Trees State Park and I couldn't be happier with experience. Kris is *extremely good* with communication throughout the entire planning process. Every silly question I emailed her, she promptly replied to with helpful answers. She is very knowledgeable about the other vendors in the area and helped me pick photographers and a florist as well, which I was also extremely pleased with! She also helped me make my wedding day timeline and answered about a million non-catering-related questions! Her staff is so friendly and professional. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this team. A++ for Lunch Lady Catering!

    I got married on February 13, 2016 at the Black Bear Inn and they highly recommended that we use Lunch Lady Catering. After one email exchange with Kris (the owner) I knew we had made the right decision. Kris immediately grasped the vibe we were going for and created the most spectacular menu. We had a mashed potato bar and soup trio for appetizers, she made incredible brisket, polenta, roasted chicken and veggies and a caesar salad for our main dish. People would not stop raving about the quality of the food. Best of all, she totally ran with our idea to forego a cake, and instead created AMAZING cinnamon rolls and mini hand pies. My mouth is watering right now thinking about the food. She also facilitated all of our rentals for us and her staff was great as well. We also utilized her services for our rehearsal dinner which was a taco/burrito bar (my mom's favorite meal of the weekend!) I would recommend Lunch Lady Catering any day of the week!

    My husband and I recently were married on New Year’s Eve. Kris and her staff were amazing and they completely exceeded our expectations on our wedding day! Our guests at the wedding loved the food and raved about it for days after. We had so many compliments on the service and attentiveness of the staff through out the reception as well. They were extremely attentive and frequently made sure we had water and drinks at our table. From beginning to end, Kris was extremely professional and very easy to get a hold of through out the process. I wanted to do something special for my husband, given he is such a foodie, I decided to get him a roasted pig instead of doing a grooms cake. Kris helped me surprise my husband with a “late night snack” of a whole pig! It looked amazing, tasted even better, and my husband loved it. If you are getting married in the area I highly recommend Lunch Lady Catering.

    Kris did an absolutely amazing job on the food and service at my wedding, she can cook like there is no tomorrow!!

    She even helped out with setting up my tables so they looked beyond beautiful and took the time to help move tables around since my wedding ended up indoors in a smaller space when the rain changed my plans for an outdoor wedding.

    Her staff is very professional and sweet, they were very on top of things and always making sure I had what I needed or wanted

    I would recommend her to anyone looking for simply amazing food and service.

    I don't often write reviews but excellence has moved me to take the time to endorse Lunch Lady Catering! After attending the local "Top Chef" challenge in which Kris Fichtner, owner of Lunch Lady Catering was one of the competing chefs and winner of the challenge, we were blown away by her culinary creations and so was the entire assembly. In addition to being seriously impressed by the meal, we were seated across from the owners of a local winery. They regularly engage Lunch Lady Catering for their many wine tasting events and they raved about Kris and her staff. Decision made!!!

    The wedding was in April 2014 and I can say that Kris exceeded our expectations! The food was beautifully presented, colorful, locally or organically grown and like nothing we had ever experienced at a large event before. The rubs and herbs used on the meats were memorable to say the least. I never even peeked into the kitchen either before or during event. I knew that Kris had everything under control.

    We have two more daughters and Kris will be at the top of our list for future weddings and events. Kris wanted us to have a "delicious day" and we did!

    I absolutely love Kris of Lunch Lady Catering and all her staff. She helped us pull off a fantastic event from start to finish. Her service and food are both amazing – from answering my many questions to crafting a menu that I was so excited about I kept reading it over and over again, I could not have been happier. I had so many guests tell me that the taco and tostada bar that she put together for our wedding was the best wedding food they’d ever eaten. Everything was seasonal and fresh, and so much of it was handmade by her and her staff. At her price point, I don’t know how she does it! But it wasn’t just the quality of her food – Kris went out of her way to help us get everything organized. She purchased s’more roasting sticks for us, placed our linens order, answered my questions about whether white plates would look good with ivory linens, and the list goes on. Kris did so much more than make absolutely delicious food, she was one of the main reasons why our wedding went off without a hitch! I could not give her higher marks, I wholeheartedly recommend Lunch Lady Catering!

    The deliciousness of the food being served at my daughters wedding was easily one of my first priorities. Lunch Lady Catering provided that and so much more. Chef Kris's compassion and mastery of food is obvious by the exquisite flavor and creativity of her food. We appreciated her commitment to sourcing the freshest local ingredients. The organization and teamwork provided by her and her crew made wedding planning and the wedding day a pure delight for us all.

    I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Lunch Lady Catering. The menu choices for hors d'oeuvres and the meal were creative and allowed us to accommodate multiple food preferences and tastes. Did I mention everything was delicious? All of the guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food.

    Kris was so easy to work with and her staff was pleasant and professional.

    Kris Fichter and Lunch Lady Catering provide an outstanding package at a great value. What is one of a bride's worst fears? That the guests won't be happy with the food. Absolutely no need to worry about that with LLC. Not only did Kris help us coordinate our wedding menu, facilitate our party rentals and answer all my silly "first time bride" questions she always got back to me quickly and was completely professional. When our big day arrived, Kris and her staff WOWED us with amazing, delicious food and superb service. LLC has a customer for life!

    Kris was not only amazing with her assistnce during the before, the day of the wedding, and after, but she was the rock of confidence for us. Any time we had a question or concern, she was on top of it. Kris's food was wonderful and very gernerous. All my guests said how good the food was and Kris's pink lemonade was to die for! I also have to comment on the cake topper and the cupcakes. They were not only beautiful, but the best i have ever had! The speed and efficiency of Kris's crew taking care of all the guests, and clean up was perfect. My family and I would highly recommend "The Lunch Lady" for any event. Her assistance made my daughter's wedding day the very best.

    We consider ourselves so lucky to have had so many problems with another well-known caterer from Murphy's. At the last minute we decided to ditch the other and hire Kris.... and are we glad we did. Not only was she on every detail of our last minute wedding but she put on an amazing meal that all of our guests continued to talk about for days. I've been to catered events all of the world and can say Kris is one of the best right here at home! Hire Lunch Lady Catering for your event and you will not be disappointed!

    Kris is the ultimate professional! She made this occasion very special with her delicious and beautifully-presented food. The desserts were exceptional - this woman should be on Cupcake Wars!
    The staff was friendly and helpful, and kept the event moving smoothly. Kris' attention to detail and ability to listen to the customer results in flawless execution.
    I highly recommend Kris and Lunch Lady Catering for any event, any size, any time of year.

    I loved working with Kris because she was so flexible. I was planning a wedding from 500 mies away and she helped tremendously, including recommending other vendors she trusted and thought were a good match for what I wanted. In the end, we have to change the location of the wedding ceremony AND reception on the day of the wedding, and Kris didn't bat an eye. And of course, the food was perfect and the cake/cupcakes were awesome. Just a huge pleasure to work with. She also did our one-year anniversary dinner, bringing all the prepared food to the cabin, setting it up and presenting it beautifully, and then picking up the dishes later the weekend. I'd venture to say that her food was even better one year later! Obviously, she continues to improve her game.

    Kris and the Lunch Lady staff are an absolute treat to work with! Our winery hires her year in and year out for our summer winemaker's dinner, which consists of a 4-course menu she creates and pairs with our wines. She brings her full staff and executes a beautiful evening from start to finish each time she works with us. At our most recent dinner in August, she prepared a Fresh Fig & Lavender Tapenade to go over Grilled Pork Loin and Rosemary Polenta Cakes... I can still taste these creative flavors when I think of that evening. In addition to her amazing food and professionalism, Kris has a contagious sense of humor and fun loving personality that makes us look forward to each event with her. She makes our job that much easier and is simply a pleasure. We highly recommend her and look forward to our upcoming winemaker's dinner with her again this July!

    Kris worked with our limited budget incredibly well. We got what we wanted, and when what we wanted was too expensive or wouldn't work with our venue, she offered amazing substitutions. Our guests were incredibly happy, as were my husband and I. Thanks for everything, Kris!!

    Everything was wonderful. The process and the food were great. My daughter and her new husband were very cost-conscious, and Kris' prices were the best in the area. During the reception dinner I was told by many people that the food was great. One person (who happens to be very much into food and wine) said it was the best catered food he has ever had.

    Thanks for everything Kris!

    Lunch Lady Catering provided a wedding cake that was beautiful, delicious, and unlike any other! Once the locals discovered it, word got out and people drove from nearby towns to catch a glimpse of the desert that made talk of our wedding resonate for weeks. The skill and craftsmanship was beyond expectation and not a crumb was left on guests plates. Thank you again for creating such a memorable experience.

    The cake was absolutely amazing! Went above and beyond our original idea and it was amazing. Aside from the bride and groom the cake was the talk of the town. Once we finally got to taste it though, It was the most delicious cake Anyone ate the reception has ever had. We would definitely hire again. Thank you soooo much we will be recommending everyone to you.

    Lunch Lady Catering was awesome. I had a buffet style presentation and the food was wonderful. All the guests raved. My cake was gorgeous and delish! It was easy clean up as everything was picked up the next day, with no dishes to be done. Top notch with responsiveness and professionalism too. I will use Lunch Lady Catering again in the future.

    Kris did more than an exceptional job for our wedding. The food was terrfific. I recieved so many comments from the guests that it was the best food they have had at a wedding in a very long, time if not the best they have had. My sister was married at an up scale golf resort and paid almost 400% more than what we had paid. She liked our food better and could not believe how affordable it was for not only the food, but for the staff. Everything was fresh and tasty and I barely even new her and the staff were there. It all flowed so smoothly. Thanks so much Kris. Look forward to you lunches!!!!!!!!

    During the process of planing my wedding I thouroughly enjoyed working with Kris of Lunch Lady Catering. She was always quick to respond to inquires and provided plenty of ideas. When we met she represented herself in a professional manner and was very fair in price. The quality of the dessert bar for the wedding was incredible. Everyone was very excited for the array of desserts. I was very happy with her services.

    Robin saves the day

    To those looking to book Venticello, look no further. use Robin and team for your wedding. Her food was exactly as we asked it to be, her wait staff was on top of it, and most importantly, she is reliable, has FANTASTIC value, and even better communication skills. Robin's team provided the plated meals for our wedding exactly as expected. We had tried to work with other vendors in he aea but are SO glad that did not hapen and that we found Robin instead. Thank you again Robin and team, you saved the day!

    We knew when we met Kris Fichtner that "Lunch Lady" would be our catering vendor of choice. She invited us for a tasting and we found her to be warm, professional, and definitely passionate about what she does! The tasting was generous and perfectly scrumptious- so we were sold! We are so grateful to have found a catering service that provided farm to table, seasonal, colorful, creative appetizers as well as the intimate & delicious sit- down dinner that we had hoped for. Our guests were also pleased and many expressed the same! A special kudos to Kris and her team for their flexibility and ease when we had some surprise weather changes for our outdoor celebration that day. Thanks for your kindess & service!

    Fantastic Food

    Kris and her catering team did a fantastic job on the appetizers and dinner for our Wedding at Union Hill Inn, Sonora, CA. We had great time going to her shop in Arnold, CA over a year before the wedding to sample all her delicious choices. The food at the actual wedding was just as delicious!!!! Only critical comment was service speed at the bar. Wish the bartenders had practiced making our signature cocktails before there was a line of people waiting. All things considered, Kris and her team did a great job!

    Wedding Catering

    We hired Perfect Day Catering for our wedding day. The first few months after hiring Perfect Day, Robin was very easy to communicate with, however as our event got closer (~2 months before our wedding), I began having trouble getting a hold of Robin. A few weeks before our wedding I asked Robin for an invoice for our total to help us understand what we were being charged for. To this day, I haven't received this information.

    On the day of our wedding, the food was great, but my guests started complaining about how quickly they took the food away...many weren't finished eating or wanted more food.

    My experience was unlike the majority of the reviews I am reading. I was very disappointed with the service I received, which is extremely uncommon for me, as someone who has never before written a poor review, or even sent back a meal in a restaurant. If the only issue was that the food was cold, I wouldn't have bothered writing a review, but in addition to that, Kris was extremely rude! She treated me like I was stupid, misquoted us and then upon receiving the check, called to say we had paid her the wrong amount. After showing her that we indeed paid the amount she quoted, instead of saying "oops, I forgot to include the vendors" she again acted as if it were our fault for not knowing she hadn't included them. The lack of professionalism and guest service was nearly comical, but definitely not what you want to deal with when planning an important event!

    An AWFUL day Catered

    This was one of the most horrific day that I experienced which was my wedding day !!! The food was awful !!!
    She had nothing to do with the wedding , BUT THE FOOD, HORRIBLE!
    As far as the wedding- it was beautiful as far as my food, when it came down to the food it makes me want to throw up each time because she left my food outside for flies to feast in with dead flies sitting inside of it.
    Also bees and wasps to crowd inside of my food UNCOVERED!!!!!!
    Sadly When I mention this to her on my way back from my honeymoon, all Robin had to say was why did I contact her six days later?????!!!!!
    I said to her - It does not matter if it’s six days six hours or six minutes you have the responsibility as a caterer to have good food at a wedding covered up !!
    if you put and sit the food outside UNCOVERED add a very special occasion such as a wedding!! & this is unacceptable .
    I do not recommend this caterer at all please stay clear from this woman she changed her name from lunch lady catering to Perfect Day Catering. Please believe me it was not a perfect day!!!!!
    I was totally embarrassed my husband was embarrassed my family and friends were shocked and completely flabbergasted by my uncovered food with flies inside of my food swarming bees and wasps !
    & she did not even care when I mentioned it to her she only offered me a 25% refund, she threaten to have her attorney write me and if I did not sign for 25% that’s it I would not get anything!
    The moral of it all is I had to purchase Wendy’s to eat at my wedding because she refused to Cover our food up!
    Smh - would you want a caterer like her?????!!!!
    I don’t think so stay clear from her!!!!!!
    If anyone did this to anyone else , I would definitely want to know of it ! not only that but her food was not good at all …no seasoning at all the meaty thick fat pieces of beef - I thought it was pork… the chicken did not taste good at all!
    It looked nothing like her pictures and taste like bad food! Really it must’ve been on her bad day!

    My husband and I hired Kris to cater our wedding and it was a disaster! Almost everything the Lunch Lady touched turned out horrible; chicken was dry, rice was raw, salad was wilted & lacked dressing etc. She lost control over her kitchen and both she and her staff were very rude. Following the event, we were able to get some money back from her, however we did not ever receive a sincere apology.

    Judging from other reviews both on here and word of mouth, what happened at our wedding is very rare for Kris. A possible reason for this is that she catered a wedding the night before (even though she had told us she only does one event per weekend).

    I wish we could have been treated with the same level of care as most of her other customers.
