From the tastings to the final execution Artisan by Santa Barbara was excellent! Our guests raved about the food and loved the family style dinner. Even our vegetarians were happy! You MUST order the chipotle mashed potatoes. Their onsite staff moved about the event effortlessly and kept all of the guests happy and well served. The bartenders remembered the guest’s orders and kept the bar lines moving quickly. They are a must have for your next event.

When my now-husband and I first dined at one of Santa Barbara Catering's restaurants, we immediately knew we had to have them cater our wedding. The variety of delectable food items made our mouths water and the taste is like nothing we’ve ever had before! Every hors d'oeuvre and entree we sampled had outstanding flavor and was displayed beautifully, even as a buffet. The vegetables were fresh and cooked just right, and the tortilla and parmesan crusted chicken breast was to die for! Our guests are STILL texting me saying how much they loved the food we had at the wedding!
Not only was the food delicious, but Santa Barbara Catering’s service and attention to detail was second to none. Our tables, linens and decor were laid out exactly as I envisioned. The beautiful colored napkins and fruitwood chairs really classed up our event and made the reception all the more gorgeous. Nobody was ever without food or drink in hand thanks to the fabulous wait staff who was working our event. There was even a gentleman who came all the way out to where we were taking photos with our photographers (which was a several minute walk from the reception) just to bring my groom and I water and hors d'oeuvres to make sure we weren’t getting faint or too hungry to continue.
We had the most beautiful, delicious dinner we could possibly have hoped for and we cannot recommend Artisan by Santa Barbara Catering Company enough! If you’re having an upcoming event, you’d be making a huge mistake by not hiring this company! -

User2541944 Sent on 02/25/2016I remembered Santa Barbara from another wedding I attended. The meal was very simple, but the quality of the food was extremely noticeable. I remembered stopping mid-conversation because I noticed how delicious my seemingly simple chicken breast was, and I don't even like white meat!
Melissan was so great to work with! Of the different aspects of our wedding, the one thing we wanted to spend top dollar on was food, and we are thrilled that we chose Santa Barbara. We wanted Asian Jewish fusion, which made me a little nervous because they specialize in locally grown, seasonal ingredients. They came up with a custom menu that was exactly what we were looking for, even with very little guidelines. The only complaint was that the matzo balls in our soup were much different than what we had during our tasting, but the food was overall DELICIOUS!! It all tasted so fresh and wonderfully seasoned. Melissan was able to accommodate a last minute request for a cookie bar, and she nailed our linens that were also a last minute request. She knows exactly what she is doing. Our guests did not stop raving about the food! Santa Barbara's quality of food and service is top notch!! -

Melissan was prompt at responding during our planning process and was very helpful when deciding on linens. I would highly recommend Santa Barbara Catering! -

Dena Sent on 07/20/2014Amazing, amazing, totally delicious food! Service was just as awesome! Santa Barbara is a little on the pricey side, but completely worth it! Guests still talk about how amazing the food was. From the appetizers all the way to the main meal, hands down, the best food! -

Rachel Sent on 05/30/2013Santa Barbara Catering was the contracted caterer for our venue, but I would have picked them no matter what! Santa Barbara is the full package: incredible presentation, delicious food, and a friendly, yet professional staff. Even the most picky food critics from our wedding are still raving about the food!
Lauren Guthrie at Santa Barbara was one of my biggest assets during the planning process. She went above and beyond for me, from answering all my questions (even many non-catering ones), helping with last minute details, providing incredible recommendations, and being there every step of the way. She is a true asset for Santa Barbara.
I would recommend Santa Barbara Catering for any event!
