Popolo catering were incredible in helping make our big day memorable! We met with Kathleen and Leon who were so incredibly sweet and knowledgeable. They helped us find a DJ and gave us their knowledgeable opinion about the day of.
Next we have Danette, who was amazing! She was so professional, flexible, and responded fast. My husband and I had a lot of questions and she helped us alot.
I sent her pictures of ideas of how I wanted decor and she did exactly that and more! She made our day go by smoothly and perfectly!
For food we decided on the barbecue chicken and tritip with au gratin potatoes and roasted veggies and let me tell you it was DELICIOUS! AND they make you and your spouse a to go box so you can enjoy your food the next day in case you were too busy to enjoy your meal! I can’t thank Popolo enough for making our day memorable, fun, and delicious! If you are having trouble looking for a caterer, this is your sign to stop looking because Popolo has your back! ❤️

Delicious and beautiful
Everybody loved the buffet. Guests loved the bartender Nancy. The salsa for the Tri tip was amazing. That service for appetizers were very professional. The bride had dietary restrictions and they made her a special plate.

Seamless Experience!
We felt very fortunate to have Popolo Catering at our wedding! The day of the event was absolutely worry-free because of how well prepared and experienced the entire Popolo staff were. They knew exactly what to do from arrival through clean-up, and several of our guests commented on the excellent service. We had a wonderful experience coordinating with Tasha before the wedding; she was extremely responsive and flexible to our requests. Chef John was also a pleasure to work with; we had a backyard wedding and he did a walkthrough of the venue well in advance to make sure set up was seamless. And on top of all that, the food was super tasty! Popolo will work with you to curate exactly the menu you want.

Hi Taylor,

Popolo Catering is the BEST
The only complaint that I have about Popolo is that they only cater so we can’t go to eat their food more often.
Popolo catered for our wedding and when I tell you that there weren’t any leftovers – I mean we ordered food enough for everyone to have a little bit of everything and then some. There wasn’t a thing left at the end of the night – just enough for the bride and groom to have to-go boxes at the end of the night, which was so necessary! Only because they set it aside ahead of time.
We got compliments from our guests on all the food that was provided, Popolo catered passed hors d’oeuvres and did a buffet dinner service. The menu was coordinated beforehand, with a tasting done – it was probably at the tasting that we realized that our choice of caterer was the right one.
Tasha coordinated with us and sat down and walked us through all of it. With Tasha and the Popolo team, know that you’re in good hands.
Popolo Catering's reply:
Thank you so much Lauren! It was a pleasure to work with you and your husband through your wedding planning process. We appreciate the fantastic review. We hope that married life has been amazing so far!
Warm regards,

Great service and delicious food
We were married in Templeton on April 1st and being that we are based in Los Angeles we relied heavily on recommendations for our vendors. Popolo was highly recommended by our venue and some friends who had them cater their wedding the previous year. From getting a quote through their website to our first meeting with Tasha at our tasting and then finally onto our big day everything was super easy and streamlined. Anyone who has ever planned a wedding knows how important convenience is, and Popolo took care of almost everything. They had a very professional and kind staff, flatware and glassware rentals, linens, licensed bartenders, and most importantly delicious food, of which many of our guests went up for seconds. Tasha worked with our coordinator and us to make sure everything was seamless and she was very kind and always quick to respond to our questions. She even helped us find our DJ, who was fabulous, and put together a delicious pistachio cake for us to cut at the reception. We would definitely recommend Popolo to cater your wedding or any event.
Popolo Catering's reply:
Thank you so much Matt and Joselyn! Popolo was thrilled to be able to be there for your wedding day. We are so grateful to all of the vendors that made this day magical!!
Love,

Excellent Service and Food
Popolo Catering was amazing to use and work with. Tasha was extremely responsive and helpful. We received nothing but positive feedback on the food. We opted for the buffet style with two entree options and fixed sides/salad/bread options. We have already recommended their services to other friends for their services. They were extremely cost effective as well. I would recommend anyone in their service area to consider them for their next large catered event.
Popolo Catering's reply:
Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! We are thrilled your family and friends enjoyed their meal. We are lucky to work with amazing clients like you!

Taste of the Central Coast Wedding
My husband and I were lucky enough to book Popolo Catering for our June 2022 wedding. We moved from the Central Coast to the Bay Area about 7 years ago, but when we got engaged I knew I wanted to be married in the place I had called home for more than 30 years. Most of our wedding guests came from out of state and I wanted to share a taste of the Central Coast with them. Popolo's hit it out of the park with Santa Maria style tri-tip, roasted chicken, strawberry salad, grilled veggies, potatoes au gratin, and French bread. They were even kind enough to make us doggie bags for when we got back to our hotel (which was very appreciated)! The Popolo staff was professional, attentive and courteous. The buffet and pass hors d'oeuvres were displayed beautifully. We are so grateful to Kat and Leon and the entire Popolo team for a delicious and memorable wedding weekend!!

Whatever you do, hire this vendor!
Popolo was my favorite vendor and the best choice we could have made for our big day. Not only are they at such a reasonable price point that it almost sounds made up.... but the food quality and service is one you would get with only the highest-end caterers. It's been a month since we've been married and everyone talks about how great the food was! Popolo was so responsive and helpful throughout the whole process and made it very easy on us. I loved them so much that they catered our rehearsal dinner, lunch the day of, the reception, and the morning brunch! I seriously cannot say enough good things about them!
Popolo Catering's reply:
You two were on your marks from day one, with your wedding planning! Thank you for asking us to be there on your special day. We loved leading our team in support of your vision. You are the sweetest couple and your future is so bright. Love following you on social media! Sending warmest regards to you and your families. Best, Kat & Leon, Owners

Worth Getting Married to Have Their Food
Not only was Popolo's food the best but their catering quote came in at half of the other local caterers.
Seriously their refried beans and stuffed mushrooms were the best I have ever had.
Plus the team was really flexible at putting together a menu that combined our favorite foods (brisket & guacamole) as well as serving the Challah and honey we provided during our weddings cocktail hour.
They were also so sweet and understanding when we had to postpone the wedding not once but twice. They were quick to respond whenever I asked them a question. They also provided detailed responses about which item were vegetarian when I asked.
One of the appetizers we chose was quesadillas. Popolo served them along with these elegant and practical single serving salsa cups.
The rentals we contracted Popolo with ( plates, forks, water glasses) were of good quality.
The servers were incredibly professional and efficient as was the kitchen staff on the day of the wedding.
Our guests were all raving about our food at our reception.
Popolo level of outstanding service even continues past the wedding because their policy of ensuring the bride and groom get a to go container of their reception meal made for an absolutely lovely lunch a few days after the wedding.
Popolo Catering's reply:
Dear Bethany & David,
We are so thankful we were given the blessing to support your wedding celebration, which had been long coming. You two have been so patient and you are the absolute sweetest couple! Since the first day we met in 2019, your ongoing communication has been spot-on & truly appreciated. As we paused with you through the pandemic, we were happy you decided to simply postpone and not cancel, to embrace your wedding day this past weekend. It was lovely! You guys did such an amazing job planning the perfect day. Bethany, your wedding dress was stunning and you looked beautiful! Thank you so much for this wonderful review regarding our delicious food, service team members, happy guests, equipment rentals, and most of all, your complete satisfaction. Here's to both of you and your wonderful married lives ahead. Leon and I send you our warmest regards and gratitude for choosing our family owned and operated company, to be a part of your special day. Congratulations from all of us at Popolo Catering. Warmest regards, Leon and Kat

COVID weddings are possible!
Popolo's was a huge help in allowing us to still have the wedding of our dreams despite coronavirus! Leon and Kat made us feel like family from the very beginning, and even after the pandemic hit they were doing everything in their power to make sure our special day went according to plan. They even helped us find a location for a reception when our initial location cancelled on us 3 weeks prior to the wedding. The food was exquisite, and the service was extraordinary. From meeting with them initially, to taste testing their entree's and sides, to serving food down the buffet line, Popolo's made the process as seamless as possible, while taking all of our guests safety into consideration. You couldn't ask for a better group of people to cater your event!
Popolo Catering's reply:
Dear Davis & Kenya,
Thank you for this great review! You are such a delightful couple. We loved the opportunity to support making your wedding day dreams come true! Embracing the extra precautions required to ensure guest and staff safety for your micro-wedding ceremony & dinner was a huge success. You looked so happy on your special day; and that's a big part of what drives us to do what we do. We are smiling from ear to ear to know how pleased you were with your overall Popolo Catering experience from our staff, to the food and our service. Leon gets a gold star for making Kenya's favorite meal happen with the chicken parmesan and fettuccine alfredo : ) Right? Sending our gratitude for allowing us to be a part of your amazing day, with our best wishes for a wonderful life as Mr. and Mrs. Heaton! Congratulations!
All the best, Leon, Kat, and our Popolo family

Work with them, seriously
Have you ever met someone that you just know you're going to like from the beginning? Like from the moment you met? That's Kat from Popolo Catering. Kat and her husband Leon are both such wonderful people and I am so happy that they were a part of such a big day for us. The food? PHENOMENAL. I personally hate mushrooms but their mushroom ravioli was to die for. Their brownies? Heavenly. Everything was so good. Please, just hire them and see for yourself
Popolo Catering's reply:
Dear Kiley and Jonathan,
Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words! We absolutely loved meeting both of you from the start and being chosen to support your beautiful wedding day was such an honor! We are thrilled that our mushroom ravioli won you over! Your cake and dessert station looked so pretty, and we are happy you loved our brownies. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness and love in your marriage. Best, Leon, Kat & our Popolo Catering staff

So delicious and affordable! We were so impressed with the meal and the tasting! Popolo made sure that we were satisfied!!

They were easy to work with and our other vendors were grateful for them as well!

The team at Popolo was excellent to work with! They communicated with us every step of the way. We are super thankful for their service and especially for serving a special meal for our vegetarian friends! Their food was loved by all at our wedding! And we even got to enjoy it! Tri-tip and chicken are a must on the central coast. And their salad, and potatoes were excellent!

The best wedding caterer
Popolo was amazing from day 1! They were very timely with email responses and always were there if we had any questions. We had a tasting with the owners, Kat and Leon, a couple of months before our wedding and it was so nice to be able to meet them and of course, taste the amazing food. We went with the Italian buffet- the raviolis are the best! They even had options for gluten-free and vegan guests which was important to us. The staff was SO friendly and even passed out appetizers to the wedding party and family that were busy taking pictures, which was very thoughtful. The bartenders were so cool and fun- loved them! We highly recommend Popolo to any couple looking for an amazing caterer! You won't be disappointed.
Popolo Catering's reply:
Dear Natalie & Tanner!
We were delighted to be brought back into your family to support a second wedding! We are so happy to read your feedback of happiness on your wedding day with all Popolo Catering did on your vendor team. You are such a sweet couple and we loved meeting you all at the tasting meeting and then being a part of your special day. We send you our best wishes for a wonderful marriage and our gratitude for trusting us! Kindest regards, Leon, Kat and our Popolo Team

Excellent Caterer
Popolo Catering was so helpful in planning my daughter's wedding. They took care of all the food (which was amazing!), drinks, bartending, serving, linens, and cake cutting. Everyone was talking about how good the food was. They are very professional and I highly recommend them.

Hi Tina,
Thank you for the excellent review. We enjoyed helping make Brittany and Chris's wedding a huge success. Everything was absolutely beautiful. We love to hear that everyone enjoyed their meal and our service.

The perfect caterers! Popolo is amazing!
Popolo was an absolute lifeline when our original caterer for our wedding fell through. Leon and Kat were a complete delight during our tasting, they truly care about every aspect of what they do! They were wonderful to work with as we went back and forth and back and forth indecisively over our menu (it was so hard to narrow down, everything they make is so good!) and on the day they were absolutely perfect! The table setup looked amazing, the entire staff was warm and outstanding, and the bartenders absolutely killed it with our signature cocktails! We were originally so worried when our first caterer fell through but with Popolo it turned out to be a blessing in disguise a thousand fold. We're still getting our guests reaching out to us to tell us how much they loved our food (and I still dream about the brisket). We can't think of anyone else we would have rather had serve us our first meal as husband and wife - and I truly cannot recommend Popolo Catering highly enough. If you're looking for a caterer for your wedding or any event at all, look NO FURTHER! Popolo is amazing!
Popolo Catering's reply:
Hi Dylan and Jess,
Happy one-week wedding anniversary! You two are the absolute sweetest couple. Your wedding day at Spreafico Farm was just beautiful and everything you worked so hard at planning; with all the fine details supported by Allison Martinez, your coordinator. We loved that you embraced Javier Montes too, as your DJ and MC. We believe the amazing circle of vendors is what allowed your day to just flow with ease; not to mention the incredible electric energy of love you two have for one another. We send you both our best wishes with a great big hug! Leon, Kat, and your Popolo Catering team

Popolo and every single member of its staff is amazing! We hired them for both catering and bartending and we're so glad we did. The first time I reached out by phone, Kat (a co-owner) answered and spent more than 1 hour on the phone with me to go through a consultation before I had even paid a deposit. Throughout the entire planning process, Popolo was incredibly professional, responsive, and graceful in managing the headache of a postponement and all COVID-19 restrictions. They really made our job easy and made sure all of the details were taken care of so that we could enjoy our day (Danette was our main POC and she was incredible!). Not to mention - the food was DELICIOUS. Some of the best tri-tip I've ever tasted, and our wedding guests agreed! Every single one of Popolo's servers and bartenders were so friendly, professional, and efficient, and our wedding guests continue to compliment the service they received from our caterer and rave about the menu! Everything was so perfect, and we really can't thank Popolo, Kat and Leon enough for their amazing service!

Atascadero Wedding May 2021
I vetted numerous caterers for our big day, but once I spoke to the folks at Popolo, I knew they were a perfect fit for us. They customized our menu to exactly what we wanted, with super reasonable prices. Their staff was exceptional from behind the bar, restocking beverage stations, setup and cleanup of the tables… just fantastic! The food was all the rage as well.. we went with Mediterranean and wowed all of our guests. The attention to detail from a family-owned and operated caterer, made it feel so special and perfect. I’d recommend them to anyone, in a heartbeat! Thanks again!!

Hey Shelley and Justin!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review; we really appreciate it. We loved you all from the first time we met at the menu tasting and consultation appointment; with your mom, stepdad, sister, and brother-in-law. You all were such a fun group. Your wedding day was so much fun for your guests; a reflection of both of you and your families! We could see and feel the P-A-R-T-Y energy everyone exuded the entire day! We are grateful you picked our business to embrace your incredible wedding day. Warmest regards, Leon, Kat and our Popolo Catering family

Delicious food and great service!
Popolo made delicious food for our wedding! They were easy to work with and we were also able to rent our linens and flatware with them. The appetizers were so good, we had the caprese skewers and bruschetta. For the meal we had the topblock steak, cheesy potatoes, salad, garlic bread, and chicken. It was all so good and they are very flexible with vegetarian options too. The price was not too high and valued if their service exceeded what we paid. We also got to do a tasting before hand. They also did our champagne service!
