Absolutely loved working with DJ's Catering for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were so organized, detailed, and communicative. As we made changes along the way, they kept everything updated and made the process completely stress-free. The tasting they hosted was not only elegant and professional—it was such a fun experience that got us even more excited for the big day!
On the wedding day, they were flawless. The team did an amazing job passing appetizers, clearing plates quickly, and keeping everyone’s drinks full without missing a beat. All of our guests raved about the food, and one of my favorite details—they had plates ready for my husband and me *before* everyone else so we could eat and stay on schedule. That small touch meant so much!
Everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Thank you for helping make our day so smooth and special!
DJs catering did an amazing job for my daughter's wedding. From the passed appetizers to the buffet and bar, everything was fantastic. The food was amazingly good. DJs made the event very elegant with the table service of wine and champaign. I would highly recommend DJ's catering for any event.
DJs were wonderful caterers at our wedding! Rachel (our point person) and the whole team were a pleasure to work with, provided exceptional, attentive service on the day, and prepared a lovely reception dinner for us and our guests. We really appreciated how their range of high-quality rental offerings lin addition to their catering services simplified our planning process. Rachel (our point person) did an amazing job walking us through our rental and culinary options. Did I mention that the dinner was delicious too?? Catering is obviously one of the larger line items for planning a wedding, and DJs provided complete transparency and reasonable prices on all their offerings. We also appreciated their flexibility in accommodating our requests for items like a raw bar at our reception that were not part of their standard menu. We would highly recommend DJs California Catering to keep your guests happy and fed at your next event!

DJ's did a wonderful job with our catering! Our guests kept going on and on about how delicious the food was - and my husband I absolutely agree! When we initially booked their services, we talked to Rachel, and she was so helpful. She did a great job explaining everything and was very organized (and was very flexible when we wanted to reduce our budget on certain things). The staff on the day of the wedding was so professional and SO friendly. On the day of the wedding, I had a lot of wedding nervousness, so seeing how efficient they were helped ease my stress. They have a great variety of services, and that helped make the wedding planning a lot less chaotic. Would highly recommend if you're looking for delicious food, great value, professionalism...you name it! DJ's California Catering has it all and more!! :)
DJ's Catering was absolutely delicious and we highly recommend them. DJ's was the catering company that came with our wedding venue, Casi Cielo Vineyards. They have so many options for a variety of budgets from buffet service with even more options for that all the way to a full plated meal service. We opted for a plated service with duet entrees and a late night snack. We had the Filet Mignon and Tuscan Chicken breast with Roasted Vegetables and the smashed potatoes, we also had a vegetarian option that was a Penne pasta. The food was phenomenal. So many guests came up to us the day of and complimented how they had two entrees and how everything was delicious. We also had the late night snack option, which was pizza because our venue had a pizza oven, and our guests thought that was one of the smartest thing they have ever seen. Again the pizza was bomb! The bar was also a hit. Everyone said the drinks were delicious and the bartenders were super friendly and helped make the night a success. We highly recommend DJ's catering whether it be for a wedding or anything else, delicious and very memorable!

DJs is an excellent choice for wedding catering. We worked with Doug and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The food prepared by DJs was absolutely delicious - a lot of our guests told us that it was the best wedding food they ever had (and we totally agree!). All the food was incredible, but we especially loved the tri-tip and churros/cookies for dessert. From the tasting to the wedding day, the entire DJs staff was very friendly and efficient. We would recommend DJs catering to anyone looking for a high quality wedding caterer.
Unfortunately, I had to use this company because they were partnered with my wedding venue. Despite already paying over $12,000 for 100 guests to eat and drink, their service was incredibly disappointing. We provided our own alcohol, and it still cost us a substantial amount. The staff's unprofessional behavior was unacceptable.
For example, when I requested tequila on the rocks, I was unreasonably criticized. Called “anal” by the bartender. Given the significant amount we paid, I expected to be treated with the utmost respect, but instead, my husband and I felt poorly treated. The staff displayed a lack of courtesy, and even though a tip was included in the total cost, they continued to solicit additional money from our guests.
Moreover, my sister, who is over 21, was denied service because she did not have her ID, which was absurd since the alcohol was provided by us. Additionally, during the setup, the bartenders refused to serve my maid of honor and me a seltzer before the ceremony because I was so nervous, insisting we wait until cocktail hour. They also denied my grandfather a beer at the start of the cocktail hour because they weren’t “ready”. It was one beer.
The staff's unprofessionalism extended to making inappropriate comments about me and the groom in front of guests. Although the owner later offered a nice dinner as compensation, it was not sufficient to remedy the overall poor experience.
In hindsight, I regret choosing this company. The high cost did not reflect the service provided, and I would advise others to consider different options for their wedding.
Awesome service

I work here. Of course it's awesome ??
We hired DJ's to cater and provide rentals for a St. Patrick's Day celebration of life. They already had a corned beef menu available and were very accommodating when I requested to provide our own breads and additional desserts. Lauren was very helpful in getting us set up with a quote and was very responsive with sorting out all of the details.The crew that worked the event- Alex, Yessi, Jerry, and Douglas, were all extremely professional, friendly, and kind. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the rotisserie roasted chicken (and I am VERY picky about chicken!), and many people asked the employees for a card to inquire about catering their own events.They were also punctual and very efficient, making what was a difficult day for me as painless as possible. Thank you again, especially to Yessi, who went above and beyond.
Helped with School Proms, etc. Would use again for sure
My wife and I chose DJ’s Catering for our wedding and we are so glad we did. We did a tasting with them and were impressed by the quality of the food—we didn’t want anything crazy, but rather just really high quality, and they delivered. Per our request, DJ’s added allergen information cards so our guests with food allergies were able to clearly see what they should and should not eat, and that was a really nice thing for us to have peace of mind for our guests. They also did a welcome beverage bar, a coffee/tea bar, and added Root Beer to our drink menu after we requested it (it’s my wife’s favorite). We got a ton of compliments on the food, especially the ice cream and churro dessert that DJ’s did. I don’t think there were any leftovers! They were very easy to work with and we loved that they have rentals available. We were even able to add last minute umbrellas when the forecast called for rain the week of our wedding.
Our wedding venue worked exclusively with DJ’s California Catering which meant we didn't have to go through the often stressful process of selecting a caterer. It was truly a blessing in disguise!Lauren at DJ's was a key part of our wedding planning, keeping us connected and informed throughout the entire process. She made us feel like we were her top priority, and her communication was impeccable. She helped with everything from napkin colors to the final day of setup and everything in between.We scheduled an in-person tasting at their location in Ventura, which was an experience that made us feel truly special. The food was nothing short of incredible, leaving us eager for the culinary delights our wedding day would bring.While DJ's California Catering offers several catering packages, we decided on the buffet option. It not only provided our guests with flexibility but also helped us stick to our budget without compromising on quality. We had the freedom to choose dishes that perfectly suited our tastes and the preferences of our guests.Our menu featured exquisite selections, including a Roasted Top Sirloin Baron of Beef, the Chicken Breast Provencal, and a vegetarian option, Pasta Porcini with Wild Mushrooms. On our wedding day, the food exceeded all expectations. It was exactly like the tasting - fresh, and bursting with flavor.The compliments poured in from our guests, with many expressing that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had, and we couldn't agree more. DJ's California Catering not only met but exceeded our culinary desires for our special day.If you're in search of a catering service that is exceptional in every way, we highly recommend DJ's California Catering. Their attention to detail, delicious food, and professionalism left a lasting impression on us and our guests. Thank you, DJ's, for making our wedding day even more unforgettable!
