Trumpetvine catering

Trumpetvine just catered my daughter's wedding in Oakland. The catering could not have been better. The food was fantastic. We had lamb and salmon (among other things) expertly prepared and served. My daughter lives in Los Angeles and asked me to help her find a caterer. She suggested two within her budget. I tried their food and it was awful. Then I remembered Trumpetvine. I should have started with Trumpetvine. Deborah catered my own wedding in 1988. She also catered my sister's wedding. Deborah was EXTREMELY helpful to us in the planning process. Trumpetvine might be a little bit more expensive but you get what you pay for. You will not be disappointed in the food or service. Top notch catering for any event. Deborah said this was her first second generation wedding catering job. I doubt it will be her last. Thank you Deborah and Trumpetvine. More...

My husband and I selected Trumpetvine off of the Brazilian Room's preferred caterer list after doing tastings with several of the other vendors.  We never actually did a tasting with Trumpetvine, though we had tasted their food at the Brazilian Room's regular open house on at least two occasions and thought it was very good.  I found Trumpetvine very easy to work with regarding the catering, though I did feel that there were some issues surrounding Trumpetvine's role as a venue coordinator.  To be fair, I think this is a larger issue with the Brazilian Room, which doesn't have event staff but rather has the caterer serve as the venue point person.  This is a big job for a smaller catering company, and I think the service (and possibly the food) suffered as the result of the dual obligation.  I will say that several guests complimented the food, which made me happy.  My in-laws also really enjoyed it, so major points for that as well.  I unfortunately didn't eat a plate until it was already cold, which was my fault, not the caterer's.  I also wasn't very hungry given the excitement of the day.  All this is to say that the food didn't blow me away in a good or bad way, but that may have been due to a couple factors outside Trumpetvine's control.  The bartenders and the waitstaff were fantastic.  Only positive things to say about working with them.  The only other comment I have is that the food was a *tad* expensive for a dinner buffet in my opinion, but not having seen what the other companies would have offered at a wedding like ours, it's really hard to say.  All in all I would recommend Trumpetvine.

This review is sadly two years past due, but my husband and I had the pleasure of working with Deborah and her team at Trumpetvine for our wedding. We both found Trumpetvine's food to be delicious, and the service excellent. Deborah worked with us on the menu, the best way to serve the meal, and the number of staff to hire to staff the bar, dinner, and dessert. Our wedding coordinator recommended us to work with Trumpetvine, which we still think was a great choice even two years later. Honestly, I still remember the salmon served at our wedding. Delicious! Go with Trumpetvine, you won't regret it. More...

Trumpetvine Catering blew the other caterers we tried out of the water at their tasting, and we are so glad we chose them for our wedding! They clearly love good food as much as we do. Deborah and her team were fantastic from day one through the day of the wedding. Instead of picking items from pages and pages of sample menus, we sat down with Deborah at the tasting and talked about what kind of food we liked and what excited us, and we built a menu together from scratch. They were responsive, easy to communicate with, and answered all of our questions throughout the planning process. They weren’t the cheapest option we looked at, but they were very clear and upfront about the pricing with no hidden fees or extra charges. And it was worth it! The day itself was super smooth, the staff was great, and the food was delicious; we got so many compliments on how good everything tasted. We definitely recommend Trumpetvine! More...

We hired Trumpetvine to cater our wedding at the Brazilian Room this past August. Food is important to me and finding a good caterer was a must. I was nervous about having to use one of the preferred vendors from the Brazilian Room's list, but Deborah immediately put my mind at ease. She understood what I was looking for and gave me lots of great menu ideas. She didn't just direct me to a set menu on her website, she listened and created a custom menu with delicious seasonal food that was perfect for us. She also did a great job of keeping our budget in mind and offering the best quality food for a reasonable price. Her prices were higher than some of the other caterers, but it was worth the extra $. This was the best food I've had at a wedding, and I'm not just saying that because it was my own - several guests said the same thing. My family feasted on the leftovers for days afterwards and they couldn't stop raving about the food. Thank you Deborah! More...

From our very first conversation, I knew Deborah was who I wanted to work with for our wedding. She understood when I said we wanted "good, non-pretentious food" and delivered, big time. An added bonus was when I floated the idea of a mix of Pakistani and American food (since I am Pakistani-American and my husband is white), she loved the idea and her chef did an amazing job. 2 months later and we are still getting compliments on the food. There were no hidden charges. She was very upfront about the pricing, provided us with an itemized quote, and even worked with us to substitute some items in order to bring the quote closer to our initial budget. We had our wedding at the Brazilian Room. Her team was so professional and we were lucky to have them. Our wedding coordinator had never done a wedding at the Brazilian Room so it was such a huge help to have Trumpetvine-- who is VERY experienced with Brazilian Room events-- there to walk us through what the space usually looks like for the amount of guests we were expecting, what set ups would work best, etc. It was such a great experience and we feel really grateful to have had Trumpetvine handle our food and beverage service.

Fantastic service, excellent food, and super classy presentation--we agree completely with all the 5-star reviews here. We had our wedding at Berkeley's Botanical Garden and hired Trumpetvine in part because they were a preferred vendor, in part because of the excellent reviews here on Yelp, and then finally because Deborah had very competetive prices and really impressed us at our first tasting meeting. Deborah is such a solid coordinator, and helped us fashion a menu that suited our half-Indian/half-American guests. We were really looking for high quality, largely local, sustainable food with an Indian flair, and Trumpetvine delivered. Deborah was very communicative with me from start to finish, very upfront about her costs. She helped me stay within our budget, and even gave me advice on how to buy drinks and alcohol for the wedding (which we provided and they served). Her staff were excellent and hard working, and really pleasant with the guests. We were thrilled with the table set up and service the evening of the wedding. The appetizers were so incredible, and the dinner was delicious, fresh, unique, and really well-prepared. We were really happy with Trumpetvine and with Deborah's forthrightness and professionalism. Definitely hire them for any event and you won't be disappointed. More...

Deborah and her staff catered our wedding this year and did a wonderful job.  During the planning process, Deborah was very responsive, professional, and no-nonsense, and she made sure we knew exactly what we were paying for and why.  She was also very understanding of our style and personalities and used her insight and experience to create a fantastic menu for us.  Many of our guests have raved to us about the food at our wedding, and I can vouch for it's tastiness myself, too!  The Trumpetvine staff was very efficient and friendly, and they set up and cleaned up the venue just right and helped us get our security deposit back in full at the Brazilian Room in Berkeley.  I would definitely recommend Trumpetvine to friends getting married in the Bay Area.

"BEST FOOD AT A WEDDING EVER!"
That's what all our guests were saying weeks after our wedding at the Brazilian Room.
When we booked our wedding, our friend recommended Trumpetvine as a caterer because they had hired them in the past for a party at the B Room. We met Deborah at one of the Tuesday open houses and from the start we really enjoyed talking with her and hearing her ideas. But what sold us were the delicious curried shrimp that she brought. YUM!!!! When we met with Deborah to discuss all the details, she asked us what we liked and worked with us to design a menu that worked with our tastes, what was in season, and our budget. We told her we LOVED food and we wanted our guests to enjoy a delicious lunch that we would all remember and she delivered!
On the day of the wedding, her team showed up on time and took care of everything. They worked well with our day of coordinator and everything went as planned. Since our wedding was in the morning, we had planned a "cocktail brunch" before the ceremony with crab cakes, bacon wrapped dates, muffins, fruit, and our favorite curried shrimp. They had 90 minutes from opening the venue to when the guests arrived to setup tables and chairs and prep the food and they pulled it off seamlessly.
We held our luncheon after the ceremony and it included a buffet of pork tenderloin with sides of chutney and mustard sauces, salmon and leeks wrapped in phyllo dough, spinach/arugula salad, brussels sprouts, and roasted root vegetables. Everything was delicious but the star was the salmon! Our guests are still talking about the food three weeks after our wedding!
My husband and I highly recommend Deborah and her team and our looking forward to throwing another party just so we can have their delicious food again. More...

We have hired Trumpetvine Catering for my husband's Genome Center holiday party for years. Each year they seem to outdo themselves! The food is so delicious, people are raving! And they are so generous! I have an open house the next day so everyone can come eat the amazing leftovers! Their mushroom ravioli/lasagna is truly amazing, and the Israeli encrusted salmon was out of this world. Roasted root veggies were perfect and sweet. The appetizers were also really special. I want Michelle's secret recipes! We were all standing around trying to guess what was in them that made them taste so delicious and unusual. It's a pleasure to work with the whole staff, and they send along everything I need for my daughter and her friends to be the hired servers.

Fresh, fantastic, and exquisite. Trumpetvine was an amazing partner in creating our recent wedding. Deborah did an expert job in guiding and inspiring us through the menu, floor plans, and logistics and proved very nimble when we needed to adjust the floor plan and menu items. And the food!!! High quality, local ingredients, with the unique, warm flavors we envisoned with her and we received so many compliments on the spread from our guests. She left us in the hands of her very capable, engaging, and experienced staff who seemlessly handled the logistics of the event. We made the choice to have two staff arrive a bit early to set up tables and chairs and make the foundation for everything which I would recommend. The thing we appreciated the most is that Deborah really got the feel we wanted for the event and translated that through to her staff for the food and exceptional service. More...

A++++++!!!!!!  Trumpetvine was on the long list of preferred vendors provided by our wedding venue, Piedmont Community Hall. From our first communications through our wedding day Deborah was professional, available and a wellspring of creative ideas. We liked that she was super familiar with our venue and could be a real resource for us throughout the planning process. She respected and worked within our budget while letting us choose some special touches that made our party feel posh and personal (gold sequined table cloths for me, dollmas and lamb meatballs for my husband). We couldn't decide on a second entrée and Deborah suggested a budget friendly Moroccan style chicken in pastry that turned out to be everyone's favorite. The family style service was another budget friendly choice which turned out to be a lot of fun at the tables. She constructed a delicious and creative Mediterranean themed menu that was also sensitive to my father's dietary restrictions.In an effort to help future brides I will say there were a few things that I wish I would have discussed before the wedding. Mainly when I wanted to light candles and turn on headlamps provided by an offsite vendor (that one turned out to be a lot harder then we anticipated, but the servers busted their butts until they were all on, thank you guys!!!) The party staff were incredible! Super cool, attentive and accommodating of my frantic last minute Bossy Bride requests. Thank you Trumpetvine, my wedding kicked butt! More...

I've had comments from a lot of people that it's the best wedding food they've ever had!We had a great buffet spread of summer staples, like heirloom tomato and bean salads, as well as some meats and potatoes for the more traditional folks. She was also able to accomodate our crazy set up, which involved moving tables onto the same space that had been the cocktail reception area, then moving them away after dinner to turn that same patio into the dance floor. And, we had really particular requests for signature drinks that we wanted the bartender to make. A lot of logistics!

Trumpetvine catered my son's wedding a couple of weeks ago. It was a delight working with them from start to finish. The planning was easy and went smoothly, starting with the tasting in their Berkeley kitchen and office space. Deborah was a terrific resource, fielding questions on use of the space (it was in a private home), configuration and number of table and chairs, even going so far as to rent some additional ones at the last minute when she figured we could handle more seating.  The food was delicious, there was plenty to eat, presentation was attractive and the prices reasonable. The staff did a beautiful job and everything went as planned.  And they left the premises in pristine condition.  My sister-in-law, in whose home the wedding took place, has lots of experience with caterers coming to her home and she said Trumpetvine excelled...she asked for contact information for future events.  I couldn't ask for more.

We had our wedding at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden this past September and were so happy we chose Trumpetvine as our caterer. Deborah really knows her stuff: She works at the Botanical Garden often and knows what will and will not work food-wise and lay-out wise given the space and resources (i.e. there's no industrial kitchen on-site) which was a huge help for us, especially given that we didn't have an event planner. But most importantly, she was by far the most knowledgeable and creative caterer we met in our search. We found that the other caterers we consulted offered very "cookie-cutter" options, particularly for vegetarian dishes.  Deborah worked with us to create incredible, unique mouth-watering dishes for our wedding (including a crowd-pleasing farro and lentil delight with kale, summer squashes and roasted pumpkin seeds -- YUM). Her food was seasonal, wholesome, and just plain delicious. All our guests raved about how fresh and flavorful the food was; and some of our foodie-friends even said that it was the best food they'd had at a wedding. Also, the Trumpetvine staff was organized, super sweet and professional. Highly recommended! More...

I used Trumpet Vine to cater my Santa Margarita Ranch wedding and was very happy with their service. Their food was delicious, their staff was courteous, and they even sent us home with a cute little picnic basket filled with leftovers. After our wedding, I learned that we had a bit of a snafu with our keg taps- which weren't working on either of our two kegs. Evidently, our planner said she wouldn't address this issue, but our bartender from Trumpet Vine handled it for us, asking a friend of hers to run out and get us the proper keg taps. I really appreciated the fact that their staff went above and beyond their contractual obligations to make the day as stress-free as possible.I'm giving Trumpet Vine a 4 out of 5 stars only because there was a bit of confusion in the initial planning. They sent over an estimate for rental items a few months after we signed our contract, and it was pretty high. After reading the contract more carefully I noticed it said something about additional cost for rental items, but there seemed to be a lot of items that I felt should have been provided by them- like the prep tables, for instance. We couldn't afford the estimate and had to cut some corners there, but it worked out.  Just anticipate that and make sure to read the fine print. Other than that, I highly recommend them. More...

My fiance and I considered hiring Trumpetvine Catering for our wedding in October 2011.  Although we eventually ended up going with a different caterer whose food more closely matched our desired style, that was a tough decision to make: we really liked Trumpetvine's food, their philosophy, and their enthusiasm towards customers. I spoke with owner Deborah Joost on the phone several times before we met for a tasting.  She was extremely helpful and excited to talk to me. We seemed to share a similar outlook on what makes a good meal: fresh, local, in-season ingredients, harvested sustainably and prepared in an artistic and creative way.We enjoyed the food at our tasting, including a colorful antipasto platter, an unusual kale Caesar salad, and delicious buttery orange-cranberry cookies. Even better than the actual food were the inspired suggestions Deborah came up with as we were discussing our menu: fennel-stuffed shiitake mushrooms as a modern twist on our chosen appetizer; latkes to honor our Eastern European heritage; pavlova as a light alternative choice to wedding cake.  Deborah really seems to care about what each customer wants, and aims to create a menu that is truly meaningful to them, rather than imposing a template.We were satisfied enough with our tasting experience that we put down a refundable deposit right then and there.  I wouldn't say the food was absolutely perfect - some of the dishes perhaps could have used more flavor or less salt (note: I'm picky in this regard :-) so I would give Trumpetvine 4 stars out of 5 for their food and an additional star for being so responsive and helpful.  If we had continued working with Deborah, I'm sure she would have made adjustments to address any suggestions we had about the food.Though we didn't go through the full process of hiring Trumpetvine Catering, I think that if we did, we'd have been very satisfied. (We had too many good choices!)  We'll certainly consider working with them in the future. More...

We hired Trumpetvine for our June 2011 wedding at the Brazilian Room and we were VERY happy with them throughout every step of the process - from our initial tasting to menu planning to event execution.  Deborah and Michelle created a completely customized menu just for us; they crafted new preparations and combinations that fit with our tastes and our wedding theme.  This is in contrast to other caterers we met with from the Brazilian Room list that claim to give you a customized menu, but really you're just mixing from a pre-set list of dishes.  Deborah also advised us on wine pairings and quantities.  For example, we told her we wanted to serve a particular Sauvignon Blnc that we enjoy, so she suggested a preparation for the halibut that would go nicely with Sauv Blanc.  She also recommended that we select a Cabernet to go with our rib eye.  And, she advised us on our floor plan.  We had something we wanted to do, and she proposed an alternative that ended up being much better (as opposed to making us come up with an alternative on our own).  On the day of the wedding, everything was beautiful: the table setup and linens, the buffet, the passed hors d'oeuvres, and the bar.  And, most importantly, the food was delicious and paired ever so wonderfully with our wines!Many thanks to Deborah, Michelle, and the Trumpetvine team!

Trumpetvine is the best!  Deborah and the crew did our August wedding at the Brazilian Room, where you have to choose from a list of approved caterers.  At first, we were a little bummed with the restriction, but it became very clear that the Brazilian Room only tipped their hat to good vendors who know the venue well.  We talked to almost all the caterers, but Deborah was by far the most attentive to my requests and was also very good about making suggestions for food.  The organizational aspect of catering was very important to us because I had previously talked to another caterer that had awesome food, but the event planner and the chef were not communicating well.  I could totally foresee problems in the several months of planning ahead--so when we met with Trumpetvine, and Deborah wrote down all our ideas, then transcribed them later in an email, we were hooked.  Super organized.  There were a number of day-of details the caterers handled that I was happy not to worry about.  For example, we talked months in advance about how I wanted to move two of the floral arrangements from the ceremony to specific spots in the reception hall, and the morning of, Deborah was there and made it happen seamlessly.
