We had my son's wedding reception at the Painted Table in Fresno a short while ago, the staff that worked the evening of the reception was fantastic, but the coordinator Vanessa appeared to do everything she could to make the day as difficult as possible. She was slow to respond to questions in the month leading up to the wedding, she did not have the reception hall set up the way that we had agreed to have it.. and at the last minute we had to rearrange the seating chart and then to top it off she did not include the champagne for the toasts, even though it had been part of previous conversations. i would only recommend this place if she is not part of it.

The painted table catered my wedding at Evanelle vineyards and the food was amazing. They let me fully customize all my selections during a tasting session and it turned out as expected - delicious. Not only the food, but all their services and help made my big day seamless. Vanessa was my day of coordinator but helped me so much more than the day of. Vanessa, took care of all my signage and seating without any issues. She also helped me make sure that all of my place settings coordinated with my table rentals and floral. The first wedding I’ve been in was my own so I felt very nervous that I wouldn’t have everything together but Vanessa made sure that everything went smoothly and I was able to be fully present and just enjoy my big day. Thank you so much!!!

We have worked with Vanessa from the Painted Table for about 2.5 years now. Every event has been executed perfectly thanks to Vanessa's professionalism and communication. I truly appreciate how hard the team works to ensure the events are executed to my standards. I never have to stress or worry because I know Vanessa always understands my vision and the food and decor will be spot on. We always receive the highest compliment on food quality and presentation. I am happy to be supporting this local business who strives to provide the best customer service time after time!

We had The Painted Table cater our wedding at Evanelle Vineyards and we cannot recommend them enough! The food was delicious and they were so helpful during the stressful wedding planning process. The best decision we made was also hiring Vanessa Youngblood as our day-of coordinator. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and she truly made our vision come to life. I would consider myself a very picky/detail-oriented person and she was so patient, kind, and understanding. She was so easy to work with and you can tell she truly cares and loves what she does. Our wedding would not have been the same without her and The Painted Table team. They made our big day completely stress free so all we had to do was enjoy. If you are thinking about hiring a coordinator and catering, do it! Look no further than Vanessa and The Painted Table!!!

They catered our wedding last night at Evanelle, and absolutely killed it. The food was phenomenal, the service was even better. I forget their names, but they served everyone pre appetizers as we were taking pictures, and never left us unattended. Terrific job. That parmesan crusted chicken breast had everyone talkin

We had The Painted Table last night at our annual student celebration dinner and they knocked it out of the park!! Chef Bo, Jesse, and staff were STELLAR!! I can't say enough good things!! We also had a great menu-- each item was a HUGE hit! 10/10 would recommend them for any event-- I know we'll be using them for all of ours in the future! :)Thank you, again, to The Painted Table, Vanessa, Chef Bo, Jesse, and the team!

Amazing! Not many caterers are up to the challenge of 4 servings times within 36 hours for a total of 900 people served. We had a celebration at work that is a 24 hour facility and we wanted to make sure we feed for all 3 shifts which resulted in 4 servings, one of which was midnight till 3am! The Painted Table came through with delicious food and great customer service! Had a minor hiccup but they resolved the issue promptly. The staff that came to set up the food was fantastic! For their first time being at our facility they did a great job! They had to set up buffet style in our breakroom so a venue that is not typically set up for catered events but they did not hesitate at all. Thank you so much and look forward to events with this company in the future! Oh and how could I forget...the food was excellent! The feedback I was getting from the employees was that it was some of the best food that we have had at the facility. Thank you so much Augie, Jesse, Jenny and all the other staff that helped with this event that I did not get a chance to meet.

I had the Painted Table cater my baby shower, and the food was phenomenal! Down to the last detail of the rentals, tables and food display. Vanessa was so amazing to work with and gave me everything I wanted! Fan favorite from everyone was the avocado toast with chilis… PERFECT amount of spice! Would recommend them for any event!!

We had an unpleasant experience with PT. The food was good, but the communication and customer service leading up to our wedding was severely lacking, and at times simply unprofessional and unkind. PT is the big name in town and wins awards, but it appears they may be resting on their laurels.Our initial meeting went well and they were very supportive of our ideas, but reneged on certain aspects of our agreement. When we asked why, they said they never agreed to it in the first place and that we had a misunderstanding. We accepted it, even though our paperwork from them had it all in writing.Leading up to the event, our quote had numerous errors. When we asked for clarification, we could not get a clear answer. We were told the proposal was not wrong and essentially that we just didn't understand how catering works. A week before our wedding, we were so discouraged, we were considering canceling, which they said they were totally fine with... rather than simply reviewing the bill with us to see where the mistakes were and moving forward. We asked for a sit down meeting to try to identify the errors, and they (reluctantly) agreed.At the meeting, we pointed out the errors. For example, they charged for the same staffing twice. There were also places where the numbers or the math were simply wrong. These issues totaled thousands of dollars. Throughout the meeting, PT was defensive and condescending. They acted as if our expectation to have a correct bill was unreasonable and made several comments about how much of an inconvenience it was. They ultimately sent the correct bill, we paid it, and they catered our wedding. To this day, there hasn't been any form of contriteness or an apology for telling us multiple times it was our mistake/misunderstanding.As I mentioned, they made a lot of promises in our first meeting that were not kept, and we made a lot of concessions. However, after all the mistakes and their disregard for our concerns, we have realized this company just does not pay attention to the details and does not take ownership of their mistakes. Perhaps it was the individuals we worked with specifically, but the customer service interactions got very unprofessional and unkind in the end. It left a bad taste (no pun intended, because the food was good!) in our mouths.We would never hire them again and urge whoever is reading this to look at all the other reviews because we took a closer look after our issues and found this to be a theme. I think being a big fish in a small pond leads to many industry accomplishments that overlook the true nature of PT – a large company that can perform well for your event in the end but can also be very, very difficult to work with along the way.

Food is amazing, however the office manager Anita really needs to take some customer service classes with her customers. It’s really sad that they have someone like this working for a high quality restaurant who take pride in their food.
