“Absolutely Outstanding! Taylor Made Cuisine Made Our Wedding Perfect!

I honestly don't know what I would have done without Taylor Made Cuisine! If I could give 10 stars I would!!!

My husband and I had been living in Arizona for the past eight months while our home in San Clemente was being renovated. The project was supposed to be finished in January, giving me six months to plan our intimate Fourth of July patio wedding. Instead, the renovation wasn't completed until mid-June, leaving me with just two weeks to plan everything.

What were the chances of finding a caterer - let alone an exceptional one - with only two weeks' notice on one of the busiest holidays of the year? Thankfully, Taylor Made Cuisine came to the rescue!

From the very beginning, the ordering process was seamless, organized, and completely stress-free. They made everything so easy during a time when I was juggling countless wedding details. The food was absolutely exquisite! Every dish was beautifully prepared and presented, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was. People were going back for seconds and asking who our caterer was! I also loved the elegant menu display that listed each dish and its ingredients - it was such a thoughtful, classy touch that elevated the entire presentation.

What truly made the experience exceptional was Beatriz. She was simply AH-MAZING! She arrived right on time, handled the entire setup flawlessly, and made everything look beautiful. Throughout the event, she was constantly working behind the scenes, serving guests, discreetly clearing plates, keeping everything spotless, and making sure everyone was taken care of. She was incredibly professional, warm, attentive, and genuinely a joy to have at our wedding. My aunt Sue just thought the world of her when she told me the next day she had a wonderful conservation with her. Thanks to her, I was actually able to relax and enjoy our special day instead of worrying about the details.

If you're searching for a caterer and reading reviews, stop here and call Taylor Made Cuisine. You will not find a company that provides more personalized service, attention to detail, professionalism, and genuinely delicious food. They exceeded every expectation I had and played a huge part in making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

I will happily use Taylor Made Cuisine for every future event. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding so memorable. We are beyond grateful!

With gratitude,
Laura & David Combs“

“24 Carrots catered our wedding at Rancho Las Lomas in May. The service was excellent. The food was phenomenal and received countless compliments. We chose a buffet with salmon, roasted tri-tip, potato dauphinoise, roasted carrots, beet salad, and kale salad, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. During cocktail hour, our guests loved the braised short rib crostini, compressed watermelon, ahi tuna poke, and olive tapenade crostini. We also opted for the premium beer and wine package along with two signature cocktails—an Aperol Spritz and a cucumber lime margarita—which were a huge hit throughout the evening. We also used multiple rentals, including a dancefloor and a sofa and coffee table for guests to lounge on, all of which were high quality and beautiful.“

“We’re frequent patrons of Postino Wine Cafe on South Broadway, San Antonio, TX. Love the ambiance, food, wine & service. Last night we experienced them at their finest! Ray & Mark went above and beyond in making our daughter-in-laws 50th birthday celebration special. The 50th balloons, cake accessories, & gift card were unexpected & appreciated. This is a place to go for a special celebration! Chef Joseph prepared a variety of delicious boards & more. They truly give top notch attention to detail & service. Highly recommend!“

“Love this coffee shop! Friendly staff and amazing baked goods. They have an excellent coffee menu too.“

“😀The Wanted Taco did an amazing job at my husband's birthday party. Everyone loved the food! Nate and Joe were wonderful to work with. They were very personable and professional at the same time. I will definitely use them again.“

“Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere! Loved everything about the place. Can't wait to come back.“

“The best in Santa Ana . Deliciosas carnitas el sabor es unico“

“Just had my wedding here and had simply amazing time! Barbi, Emily and the entire staff made it truly a seamless experience that allowed us and our guest to enjoy our wedding! They are definitely an elite catering service as they handle every little detail (and some unexpected ones) with top-notch care and attention! Definitely loved this venue as a convenient outdoor space in the Costa Mesa area, not too far from South Coast and Westminster/Fountain Valley which made things really easy for our friends and family to navigate. There's also a beautiful vineyard nearby for photos

Notes:
-Wedding was 230 people outdoors on the grass/garden area
-Did not have a ceremony there, though the gazebo is great for photos
-Allows for outside catering, we used the venue's appetizers which were great (the grilled cheese shooters were a huge hit!)

Overall, if you are looking to do something beyond a standard indoor restaurant, this garden is great as a blank canvas space to have your wedding with truly elite service and execution :D“

“Amazing food. Delicious spring rolls. Baked goods.“

“Excellent service and presentation from the servers to the owners acting as MC. Very organized. I'm impressed. I would recommend to do your event here.“

“Great waters and friendly staff :)“

“The food here is such high quality and is such a unique experience.“

“I had the pleasure of hiring Delanya's for a private event on July 12, 2025. They have the best Brisket in Orange County. I do not say this lightly as I have had some of the best BBQ in the country. I am a Master Pastry Chef and work for the Food Network, word of mouth is what keeps great small businesses thriving and although I almost never leave reviews this is definitely a must!“

“It would be great if it could be delivered to your door“

“The best lunch & awesome staff…shout out to Brody!“

“Country Garden Caterers were a great addition to our wedding day! The planning process for our event was smooth thanks to Diana Perkins! She was a rockstar in helping us plan our menu, was very flexible and understanding, and always answered our questions through phone or email with a quick turn around. We ordered the BBQ brisket, Chicken Marsala, and Poached Salmon as our main entrees and they were all amazing! I would highly recommend all three options. Our guests still comment how wonderful the food was.“

“Impressively extensive food selection. The presentation and portion are fairly decent but, it can be a little upgraded. The food quality, freshness & taste are surprisingly delicious! The front hostess or lady who sat us definite do NOT have any courtesy with unfriendly attitude & lacking any personality & rude. There's 4 of us on our birthday celebration & only gave us 3menu. I corrected with a request for 4 but, gave me an attitude of ‘I know, I'll get you another one. But, never return & no gesture of recognition to handle the situation. Unpleasantly rude & in that case, we will not return with that kind of attitude.“

“We’re employees in the cards department who work at the hospital and stop by this coffee shop almost every day. Just wanted to share how great your barista Stephanie (Stephy) is. She’s consistently engaging and welcoming, and she has a natural way of making both customers and coworkers feel comfortable. She really sets a positive tone here, and you can tell she genuinely cares. The coffee is great, and she’s a big reason this place feels like such a bright spot in the day.“

“Our whole family enjoys eating here, even our two young girls. We really love the smoked turkey and brisket, but all the meats are good. The service is excellent and each person really cares about the people they serve and the food they make. The place is clean, even the bathrooms are clean. We like to enjoy our meal on the small back patio.“

“Reshmi and her crew did a catering in our backyard party recently. It was a unique experience to have a live Dosa station for our friends and families. Everyone enjoyed the food and it was fresh and tasty. There was plenty of varieties in Dosa to pick from, which was great. Specifically the S'more Dosa was a hit with the kids as well as adults.“

“We came from North Carolina to Huntington Beach to celebrate our daughters wedding in November. What a wonderful job they did with the food and bar. Top Notch! A+++. Highly recommend Love at First Bite for your catering needs“

“very professional and very delicious food for an amazing price would recommend for any and every event“

“Nomada is best catering in south OC. Their food is delicious, service is excellent, and their set up/ presentation is chic. My guests all complimented how great the food was at our party. And the whole nomada team is so kind and helpful. I cannot wait to book them again!“

“Awesome food really good scampi and salads“

“Unos tacos deliciosos y el que atiende muy buen servicio“

“We had Kiros Catering for our Women in Luxury Design Panel and Reception, and they were absolutely fantastic! The food was fabulous and received rave reviews from all our guests. The team took exceptional care of us, always one step ahead of our needs. They introduced themselves before the event, ensuring we knew all the ways they could assist us. Their attention to detail and impeccable service made the event seamless and enjoyable. We greatly appreciated their professionalism and dedication. Highly recommend Kiros Catering for any event!“

“On Saturday, July 25th, 2026 my church was having an event and your food was being delivered for that part of the meal service. I want to commend you. I erred by not getting the woman's name who delivered the food to us, but she was a great help to us worker bees. We were using Chafing trays and the lady who's usually in charge of them called out sick. I and my coworkers know zero about them. Your lady helped me understand what to do and how to do it. Thank you Thank you and Thank you.
Now for the food. The menu consisted of baked beans, chicken, pulled pork, and brisket. With 2 sides. Potato salad and coleslaw. My coworker and I were comparing our opinions and you all deserve a raise. Instead you'll receive this high rating. A 10 out of 10. I don't usually eat brisket and my coworker doesn't usually eat pulled pork. However, these two meats were melt in your mouth tender, most flavorful, and super juicy. They were the Best! Your company will now be the comparison to ALL others. So again I say Thank you Thank you and Thank you. Joyce Galasso. (WCA church. )“

“Leckeres Eis 🍦 und absolut zu empfehlen! The ice cream is the best ever.“

“I don’t live here anymore, but passed by while I was in the area. 17th Street Deli is an absolute delight and I’m so happy I stumbled upon it! I really was just expecting a sandwich, but you really won’t know until you go..it's a must-visit. Top-notch service, homemade tuna salad, and they’re quick! My wife had the pastrami and said it was one of the best she’s ever had. I guess that one is their special! Don't miss out on this hidden gem!“

“We had the pleasure of tinting the windows at their location. Such a pleasure working with Carol, amazing business owner and you can tell she cares about her craft as well as her clients. She even hooked us up with a grilled cheese, tuna melt, banana pudding and banana bread! It tasted amazing! Highly recommend if you're looking for a high quality catering company 🙌🏾“

“Great drinks , friendly staff, wonderful vibe and super cute layout.“

“The food is AMAZING ! The ribs, the Mac n cheese, the green beans, the cornbread, everything we had was over the top delicious and the service was great !! Our new favorite place ❤️“

“Really good sandwiches and beer. Mixed experiences with select staff. A couple awkward - not so welcoming interactions with 2 male staff on two separate days. Did not feel welcomed. Other than those two guys, the rest of the staff are very friendly, prompt, and welcoming.“

“Excellent food and service. Chinese seafood here is excellent“

“Greenlife caters to my office and since eating the breakfast 3 days out of the week, I’ve noticed significant strides in my health. I work out consistently and they have great options for putting on mass and taking it off, with high quality taste. Not to mention the guy who brings us the food is extremely friendly and helpful.“

“Los mejores tacos de Santa Ana Ca..“

“The eggrolls here is one of the best eggrolls I had eaten. I had been a customer for over 20 years and each time I ordered I had not been disappointed. The eggrolls are crunchy and delicious to eat when they are hot.
The service most of the time is great. The owner is friendly. They mostly speak Vietnamese but the helper speaks Spanish.“

“I hired Chris and his team for my son's first birthday party and had such a great experience. Chris arrived on time and was super professional, and he and his partner set up quickly and got started right away. The food was amazing, and we received so many compliments from our guests. They were also very generous with the amount of food, which we really appreciated. Everything went so smoothly, and overall it was the best experience we could have hoped for. I will definitely be hiring them again!“

“Came here after seeing this place on my social feed. Quiet little unassuming place with friendly staff and quick service. I got a pastrami sandwich and it was great. The sandwich came out in less than 5 minutes. I’ll have to come back to try some other menu items for sure“

“Ordered a grazing box for Christmas and it was perfect!! Everyone loved it. It looked beautiful and tasted good. It came with 4 different kinds of fresh cheeses, plenty of crackers and a delicious hummus, veggies and fresh fruits.Picking it up was interesting they work out of a community huge kitchen so it's a bunch of shops, you call them when you arrive and they bring it to your car. Service was quick, ordering online was easy, everything was yummy and beautifully arranged and I'll definitely order again“

“Tim and his team executed wedding day and it was an absolute dream!! Tim has been very communicative from the start ensuring everything on the contract was going to be fulfilled on wedding day.
The food was delicious and mouthwatering, the food came out hot and fresh - guests could not stop raving about the food. Even my vendors said the vendor meals were delicious! As a bride, of course it was difficult to eat all courses - it makes me wish I was a guest to my own wedding so I could eat everything LOL
During the food tasting I told him we wanted our walnut prawns with more sauce and he put lots of that delicious mayo sauce. The lobster garlic noodles was my favorite dish!
Tim also provided rentals for us - stage, dance floor, chairs. The stage, dance floor, and chairs made the entire ballroom look so dreamy, romantic, and whimsical. I even changed my mind last minute for the chair colors and he was super accommodating
Tim wholeheartedly deserves 5 stars! The caterer is the most important vendor for a wedding and Tim ensured he delivered nothing but the best for my guests. If you're looking for a banquet style meal for your wedding - 1 10000/10 recommend Tim. Thank you Top Catering for making my wedding an unforgettable night.“

“In this place, food is prepared for very good airlines, by the way, well, no. Because it is my workplace but very good attention in English and Spanish. These photos are some of the many platiyos that are prepared for the airlines in this place“

“I can't express enough how awesome Chef Lou and the entire staff was!! The occasion was my wife's surprise birthday party. Chef Lou created a wonderful menu. The whole team arrived promptly and delivered an absolutely awesome experience.
The food was both delicious and had a beautiful presentation. All of the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Everyone at the party was so pleased with this team. Then at the end, they quietly cleaned up and left the house as if they were never there. I feel very fortunate to have found Saltwater Catering for this party.

I am already trying to figure out the next time we would be able to use them again!“
