I hired buckboard for my wedding, and it was the best decision we made for the big day! Ashley was so helpful throughout the entire process and went above and beyond. She answered all of my questions at all hours of the day, provided her expertise when needed, they set the tone of professionalism at the wedding and elevating the guest experience, and our guests, all raved about how it was the best wedding food they've ever eaten. Highly recommend them for your special day. Ps. Get the lobster Mac and cheese. You won't regret it.

We hired Buckboard catering for our corporate holiday party and all of our employees were so happy with the food and services provided. Price was fair and the catering staff was great! Leading up to the event, communication was always prompt and my questions were always answered. If you are looking for a caterer for an event, Buckboard should definitely be in your top considerations.

I cannot say enough amazing things about this team!! The buckboard catering team catered my wedding and they blew us all away!! Ashley was amazing with accommodating our budget, going through the options, hosting the tasting and holding my hand through the process. I had people coming up to me all night telling me how great the food was. They were with communication throughout the process and even with our guests all night. They personally spoke to each guest with allergies and informed them of the best options to accommodate them. They even went out of their way to buy a new salad dressing for a guest with allergies during the event and gave her her own personal bottle to keep at her table. My coordination team was going to take care of cake cutting and our nacho bar but the Buckboard team insisted on taking it off of their hands and took a huge load off of their plates. I got great feedback from everyone about the friendly bartenders and their flexibility with signature drinks and the other options!! I highly recommend you hire them for your next event!Thank you Buckboard for making our day that much more special!!!Thank you Buckboard for making our day that much more special!!!

Attended a 25th anniversary party catered by Buckboard. The meal was fabulous--salmon, chicken and try tip. All of it was delicious. Many commented the next day that was the best tri-tip they've ever had.

We hired Buckboard for our son's wedding at The Brick in Liberty Station. All of our guests were blown away the food! How often does that happen at a wedding?!?! They set up a custom grazing table for us with some of their delicious BBQ. JP and Ashley were amazing to work with. We would highly recommend Buckboard to cater your next event!

For almost a year now I've been planning a destination surprise 60th birthday celebration. The destination of choice has been San Diego, CA. After speaking with many venues and vendors, I found Buckboard Catering & Events on Yelp. I live in Georgia without knowing anyone in San Diego. It so happens a wonderful lady was assigned to assist me. Planning this would not have been successful without Buckboard's event planner, Maya. From the very beginning Maya has been very professional and personable. She has gone far beyond my expectations by planning a vision that I am extremely excited to have come into fruition. I have no doubt the 50 plus guests that will be traveling from all over the US to attend the celebration, will thoroughly enjoy themselves.Maya, it has been a pleasure working with you and I am looking forward to meeting you in person next month. Buckboard you understood the assignment. Thank you.

We could not have been happier with the service we received from Buckboard as the catering provider for our wedding. Right from the initial meeting Ashley, (Buckboard's sales manager) gave us a personalized introduction and very friendly tasting. It was clear from this initial interaction that she cared more about our experience and less about just becoming one of their customers.The food was/is absolutely delicious. Every single item was cooked perfectly, and it was clear from the initial tasting that their chefs and cooks take genuine pride in cooking high quality meals that do not come off as "mass produced" like a number of other caterers in the area. We have lost count of the number of guests who told us during and after the meal that it was by far the best food they've ever had at a wedding, and this is reflective of the company as a whole.Ashley and JP (the Chief Operating Officer) were both present during the planning process, and worked with us directly to determine a menu that would be both wonderful for the guests as well as within our budget. When dietary restrictions were presented, Ashley and her team made the accommodations easy and care free, and provided options that were also delicious. She and her staff were so friendly and professional on the day-of that a number of guests went out of their way to comment on the crew.We cannot rave enough about the services we received from Buckboard Catering. To make matters better they also operate a full-time restaurant in El Cajon, which we plan on frequenting regularly when visiting San Diego. For prospective couples planning a wedding, choosing Buckboard as your caterer will not only put your mind at ease knowing the quality of service you will be receiving, but you and your guests will be absolutely thrilled with the meal you get to enjoy.

INCREDIBLE!!! We hired Buckboard Catering for our company Holiday Happy Hour and it was AMAZING! Raquel & JP created an 8 foot charcuterie board that was beautiful and delicious. Their attention to detail was phenomenal. The quality of the food was top notch and the service from the planning process to the event was flawless. I highly recommend using Buckboard Catering to cater your event. I will definitely be using their service again - both professionally and personally!
