Happy Bride!
I had a wonderful experience with Personal Touch Dining for my wedding catering— at an affordable price point too! From the very beginning, their communication was always timely (shoutout to Annalisa and Jaycee). They went above and beyond by assisting me in coordinating rentals, which was one less thing to worry about during the wedding planning process. The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented, and the service on the day of the event was top-notch. They also allowed me to use their water boiler for my DIY ramen bar which was an appreciated perk. Personal Touch Dining truly added that special touch to my wedding, making it an unforgettable day. Thank you, Personal Touch Dining, for making our day perfect!Personal Touch Dining's reply:
Thank you, Tiffany! We had so much fun planning with you! We're so happy that we could work with you.

Claire D. Sent on 07/06/2023The Best Catering Team Out There!
It is hard to put into words how absolutely incredible our experience with Personal Touch Dining was for our June 2023 wedding. Even the simpler things, such as the tasting day, were amazing (no seriously our tasting was the best date night ever!!). Special shout out to Annalisa from PTD for making this so special! On the day of the wedding, everything was perfect. In a unique manner, we had an entirely vegan wedding spread. As a vegan bride and groom, this was extremely important to us, and PTD really delivered. The guests (none vegan) seriously RAVED about the food. Specifically, the stuffed shells dish! At the end of the wedding, all food was packed up for us and sent home for us to enjoy and share for the days to come. This was especially amazing because we didn't get to eat as much as we would have liked on the day of. When we were seated for the reception, we even had a plate of the passed apps from cocktail hour waiting for us and were brought plates to quickly eat before dinner. As you can tell, I have only good things to say about PTD. Thank you SO much for being part of our special day, we're so grateful for such an amazing vendor.Personal Touch Dining's reply:
Hi Claire! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I'm so glad that we were able to curate a special menu that everyone enjoyed. We loved working with you! Also, your tablescape was gorgeous!

Maddie Sent on 04/17/2023Very reasonable & flexible full-service caterer
We hired Personal Touch for our wedding at the Martin Johnson House in February and were pleased with their service! After contacting a few other vendors from our venue's preferred caterers list, PTD seemed very reasonably priced and offered a wide range of menu options. They even coordinated our rentals (tables, chairs, lighting, space heaters, etc.) and cake (from Flour Power bakery) so that we did everything through them, which was very convenient. They were very communicative throughout the planning process, which was helpful as we were planning from across the country. Everything went relatively smoothly on the big day, the set-up was beautiful and food was good! We were pleased and would hire them againPersonal Touch Dining's reply:
Hi Maddie! I'm so happy to hear about your experience with us! Thank you so much for sharing :) We had so much fun working with you!

Madison M. Sent on 08/11/2022Amazing Catering!
Personal Touch Dining was our caterer for our wedding at Mt Woodson! Everyone raved about the food that was served at our wedding. We did the tri-tip and parmesan chicken with mashed potatoes. We got so many compliements on the food. Our guests also really loved the appetizer option of the grazing table which was like a large charcuterie board! Our deserts were also provided by Personal Touch Dining and they were also fantastic! They also give you all the leftover food packaged to-go after the wedding! I would highly reccomend Personal Touch Dining as a wedding vendor!Personal Touch Dining's reply:
Thank you, Madison! Your event was stunning! We're so happy that you had a wonderful day. Best wishes to you both! -

Angelia O. Sent on 10/03/2022Excellent Quality and Service!
My husband and I are very pleased with our experience with PTD. We had our wedding at the Japanese Friendship Garden and they provided their catering service, rentals with set up and break down, and bar service. Annalisa made the planning process for our event simple. She kept an open line of communication and all of the information they provided was very clear and detailed. If Annalisa was not available, Sam was able to answer our questions in a very timely matter. When we scheduled our taste testing, we were able to make our meal choices for our wedding there as well as the rentals. It was hard to pick our menu because everything tasted so wonderful!
PTD’s staff went above and beyond to take care of us and our guests. While I was occupied during cocktail hour bustling my dress, they came to the bridal room and provided an appetizer plate for me and my bridal party to make sure we would not go hungry. They also left one for my husband and I at our sweetheart table. Some of our guests arrived after the dinner service and the buffet was already cleared. The staff went out of their way to still serve them a warm dinner. Not only did they pack all of the leftover food, they also packed mine and labelled it because I did not have a chance to finish my dinner.
All of our guests had nothing but great things to say about the food and drinks! They also enjoyed having the ice cream bar during our summer wedding. We truly appreciate PTD’s service and are so very thankful for making our wedding celebration a wonderful one!Personal Touch Dining's reply:
Hi Angelia! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! I had so much fun working with you and am so thankful we could be apart of your special day :) Congrats!

Abigail G. Sent on 09/14/2021Gorgeous Views and Delicious Food
Harbor View Loft was the perfect choice venue for our wedding. It met and exceeded our expectations. The food was all delicious and the staff were on top of everything 120%. It did get toasty inside at the reception (summer wedding), but all the outside space/tables/games meant our guests could walk outside to cool off and look at the view. Overall, we are SO glad we chose this amazing venue for our special day that we will remember for a lifetime. Our guests raved about the food and the views, and I can't wait to see all of our amazing pictures with the water and downtown at sunset as the backdrop. Thank you so much!!!Personal Touch Dining's reply:
Hi Abby! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review! I loved working with you :)
Best wishes!

Best Catering in San Diego
Personal Touch Dining is hands down the best catering company in San Diego. Annalisa was AMAZING to work with. They catered our DIY wedding at the San Diego Botanic Garden and it was perfect. The food was delicious and the staff was kind and easy going. They also offer rentals through them. For example, I rented terracotta table runners.
Personal Touch Dining's reply:
THANK YOU, Sarah! I am still obsessing over your tablescape and color scheme. I loved working with you and am so thankful that we could be apart of such a fun day.

Raena C. Sent on 09/14/2021It was a pleasure!
Our experience with Personal Touch Dining was great! They provided our wedding reception with the cocktail hour appetizer spread, dinner entrees and bar package. The menu tasting experience was awesome. Annalisa and Darcie made us feel so welcomed in their space and provided us with all the details we needed to make informed decisions about our special day. The food was great both at the tasting and on the night of. My husband and I were able to scarf down some food at the reception and we are so glad we did!Personal Touch Dining's reply:
Thank you, Raena! I am so glad to hear that you had a wonderful experience! We had so much fun celebrating with you.

Love personal touch dining!
My daughter Rachel and new son-in-law Andrew choose Personal Touch Dining from their 'one and only' tasting as they loved the food and delivery. My daughter has discriminating taste and has since she was a child. We also had 2 Executive Chefs as guests and they concurred!! I volunteered to write this review due to my satisfaction as a parent. I was not involved with the selections, but borrowed the menu for printing. We used the menu from the tasting to make our own for the guests which included appetizers through the desserts. It was a nice touch to the dinner table. Instead of cake, the newlyweds did desserts. The chocolate and white cake pops were divine and the churro stand a hit! They also chose a full bar which was beyond affordable. Brittany was their go-to for catering. The staff we so professional and took care of everything! Because it was flawless all that was required of me was to have a good time and that I did. Norma K, Mother-of-the-BridePersonal Touch Dining's reply:
Hi Norma,
Thank you for your kind words! Rachel and Andrew were a dream to work with. We are thrilled to know everyone loved the food and you could enjoy Rachel and Andrew's special day. (:
Cheers,

Rob T. Sent on 07/27/2021Smooth & Perfect!
This company was an absolute delight to work with! It was as simple as us coming in to taste and build a menu. The food was delicious and we got many compliments after the wedding. We actually had a difficult time narrowing down what we wanted during the tasting - you'll love it all. We did the premium beverage package and it was worth every penny.Personal Touch Dining's reply:
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Rob! It was so fun working with you two. Your ceremony by the water was gorgeous!

Amber P. Sent on 10/26/2021Amazing customer service, rentals, and food
Personal Touch Dining went above and beyond with providing our catering and rentals for our wedding. We booked them in 2019 for our August 2020 wedding which unfortunately had to get postponed twice. We were finally able to have our dream wedding in September 2021 and it was everything we hoped it would be. Throughout those two years I exchanged COUNTLESS emails with Lauren, Alle, and Annalisa and they were all so helpful with answering all the questions I had and providing us with exactly what we wanted. The rentals were great quality and the food was amazing. The appetizers were all so good and I crave the mahi with the coconut curry. All the staff was very friendly and attentive and there’s not a single thing I would change. Thank you for helping our wedding be so memorable!
PS say yes to the upgrades! You only get to do this once!Personal Touch Dining's reply:
Hi Amber! Thank you so much! It was so fun working with you and seeing your vision come to life! Congrats :)
