Excellent experience for us!

Pure Joy catered both the rehearsal party and wedding dinner for our son and his bride. Patrick helped me plan the perfect cocktail menu for the rehearsal party, his years of experience were extremely helpful! Dane and Justin were two of the lead servers and they took excellent care of all our guests - such kind people. Overall, Pure Joy provided us delicious food that was displayed beautifully, and all planned within a fantastic level of organization and professionalism. I highly recommend Pure Joy to anyone!

Great Experience

Pure Joy catered my wedding in July 2023 at the Carousel House in Santa Barbara. The experience from start to finish was incredible. Annie was very responsive with our email communications. She gave great input when we were menu planning and was very accommodating of our preferences. We had a tasting prior to our wedding and the food blew us away. They even surprised us with an off menu dessert which we loved so much we added it to our menu. I honestly still think about that dessert every now and then. The staff onsite were pleasant and our guests were happy with the food. I did notice service ran behind schedule during the reception but that did not change my impression overall. I am happy to recommend Pure Joy for anyone looking for a solid team!

Simply amazing service

I cannot speak more highly of Pure Joy. I worked with Patrick to do the catering for both my wedding and brunch the day after. All of the staff at Pure Joy were SO kind and friendly throughout the entire process. They helped me choose my meals, offered complimentary welcome drinks, etc. This is to say nothing of how amazing the food was. I am still hearing from my guests how much they enjoyed the food. Beyond that, the service during the events was INCREDIBLE. I planned our wedding from Georgia and the wedding was in Santa Barbara. Pure Joy took the stress of coordinating my rentals and everything. I could not have asked for any better!

Pure Joy is one of my favorite catering companies to work with. They make the planning process nice and smooth and they produce amazing events. Lynette and her team really go the extra mile to make sure each client is well taken care of. I trust that an event will run smooth when Pure Joy is part of the team.
