Pearl Catering is a top notch catering company. Their food is delicious and their service is fantastic. They know how to elevate ordinary food to make it spectacular! I am a wedding planner and they are one of my favorites and I would recommend them over and over. Their team (Ashley, Noelle, Meghan, Annette, Natalia) are some of the best in the business! Look no further for good food and service! More...

My husband and I got married in June at Maysara Winery (little behind on reviews). I can't say enough about Meagan from Pearl Catering. We would have booked Pearl Catering for our wedding regardless but I'm SO happy Meagan is the one we got to work with. She was very quick to respond to my questions and concerns and on the day of our wedding was SO on it with getting tables up and in the buffet line (without announcing anything) and right before I walked down the aisle she helped me down the stairs and held my dress so I didn't fall down them. She kicked ass! Also, the two things people still mention to us about our wedding is the gorgeous venue and the amazing food. People told us it was the best wedding food they've ever had. I honestly think it was the best wedding food I had ever had too! Everything we chose was delicious! But we did two pre-wedding tastings with Meagan because it was so hard to chose the menu - EVERYTHING was amazing! In addition, the buffet package was very affordable which made it that much better. Go with Pearl Catering (and cross your fingers you'll be working with Meagan)! You will NOT regret it! More...

Best experience I've ever had with a caterer! I run a non-profit and had the pleasure of working with Noelle DePinna for my fundraising gala. This woman gets it done. Everything was top notch and first-class from the planning, communication, food quality, rentals, servers, bartending, clean-up and professionalism. All around superb service. Woudn't use anyone else. More...

I had the pleasure of working with Pearl Catering last weekend during a wedding. As a wedding planner in the industry, this was the BEST food I've had the entire summer. Everyone was raving about it. Nicole and her team were absolutely amazing providing outstanding service before and during the entire event with great attention to detail. I'll be recommending Pearl Catering to all of my brides and hope to work with them again soon. More...

Pearl catering catered our wedding and the food was just delicious. So many compliments on the dinner! We especially recommend the polenta and salmon, and it’s great that their menu is seasonal. The staff was great day-of as well, and Ashley was so responsive and helpful with planning (and day-of). We definitely would recommend for wedding food and any other catering needs! More...

My husband and I used Pearl Catering for our wedding at Castaway in August 2019 and we have absolutely no regrets! So many of my guests said to us for DAYS after the wedding that it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! Meagan was so helpful to us throughout the year we spent planning the wedding- she set up multiple tastings to make sure everything was perfect! The day of the wedding she made sure the bride and groom always had food and a drink readily available. All of the servers and bartenders were very professional and attentive. Again- the food was incredible! I was worried how it would stay fresh in the buffet line, but they turned it over often and even the steak was perfectly cooked. Pearl Catering made our big day go so smoothly and also made it a memorable and delicious experience for our guests! More...

Delicious food! I love good food so it was important to me that my 190 guests enjoyed great food at the wedding. I know it can be hard to mass produce food for a large group but Pearl did. Many people raved to me about how good the food was both during and after the wedding. Meagan was very helpful to work with. The tastings were most useful and flexible. Highly recommend! More...

Pearl Catering made our wedding just impeccable. From the place settings to the food (which got raves from everyone), we couldn't have asked for anything better. The bartenders were a blast to work with and have at our wedding.

Meagan and her team was amazing - they brought our food right when we sat down and even brought some mac and cheese from the kid's buffet for us. She even brought us a drink right after we got married - these little touches mean everything to us.

Meagan met with us several times to taste the food, tour the space and rentals, send over many iterations of the proposal, and helped to make the buffet lines move smoothly and quickly. We would highly recommend them!

So it was less than 2 days notice! She was able to help put something together for me in record time! She even texted with me on her day off to help with some last minute requests. We had our event last night at the Paramount Hotel. Needless to say, the food was amazing! The wait staff did a wonderful job.

We just used Urban Studio for our wedding, and we really could not have been more pleased with the turnout! Nicole was really great to work with, she always responded to emails and answered all my questions.

The venue is basically a blank slate, and you can put your mark on it however you like. We wanted a warm wintery vibe, and got just that. They flipped the venue from ceremony to reception in under an hour, and it looked like it had taken days- it was incredible!

We received endless compliments on our food, and they were great accommodating my husband's celiac. The bartenders, servers, and staff were all very kind and attentive.

It was a perfect day for us!

Pearl Catering was everything we could have asked for! They were responsive, eager to meet our vision, and proactive in ensuring all the details were seen to. And most importantly, their food is delicious!

I, and most of my family, are vegetarians, whereas my husband and most of our other guests prefer a meat option. Pearl Catering was able to create a menu that provided delightful options for everyone. We also had a guest with severe allergies to a number of different ingredients. Pearl Catering created a custom entree for him that he said was one of the best things he had eaten all year.

I was also blown away by their attention to detail. Amid all the commotion of the wedding day, they had the presence of mind to serve the kids first, for which we received rave reviews from every exhausted parent in attendance. And they easily handled several last-minute requests on our part to serve certain guests first as they had to leave early.

There is nothing about their service that I can critique, their food is amazing, and I would recommend them any time!

They even had an crêpe making action station and homemade donuts. Yumm! When you photographing weddings as a career you eat a lot of wedding food. Let me tell you I’ve had some not so great and some really, really great wedding food, and this was one of my all time favorites! When we sit down to eat (if we even get a chance too!) good food can give us photographers the boost we need to get back to capturing our couple’s day.

I'd highly recommend Pearl Catering for any special event. I chose them to cater my wedding and was very impressed with the level of service & quality of food. They arrived a little later than expected, but had everything set up on time - I had people raving about how good the food was several weeks after the wedding! The portions were generous - there were tons of leftovers for our guests to take home. Make sure to request takeout boxes if you'd like to offer that option to guests (it wasn't automatic per our catering agreement). As far as weddings go, it seems like vendors always want to seize the opportunity to mark up the price, or encourage last minute extras to make the day more "special" (because then they get more money). Our reception ended 30 minutes earlier than the anticipated schedule, and we were billed for the server's actual-time, not the scheduled time of the event. I thought this was very kind and ethical, especially since I would have completely understood needing to pay for the scheduled time. Rita Kriss was our Catering Coordinator. I'd HIGHLY recommend her. She listened to me and my now-husband to make sure she heard our requests for our special day, and she executed the catering portion of the event seamlessly. She's zealous about food and event appearances, and she offered the right balance of feedback and suggestions while still taking everything we wanted very seriously. More...
