Very good service

BTS was wonderful to work with for my wedding! We selected them as our caterer after my sister attended an initial tasting and had a positive experience. Even though I was very indecisive throughout the planning process, they were kind and helpful and responded promptly with all their communications. Thank you again!

I had the privilege of working with Behind the Scenes on behalf of the San Diego nonprofit I work for. BTS was highly recommended by our venue (Park & Market) and it was obvious why. From the moment we received their proposal, through the execution of the event, everything was detailed and thoughtfully planned out. The hardest part was narrowing down the menu options because everything looked and sounded scrumptious! Thank you, Behind the Scenes, for your professionalism, quality, and customer service - I very much look forward to working with you again.

BTS provided us with the best wedding + planning experience I could ask for. The team was extremely accommodating and had incredible communication throughout the whole process. They were so genuine and helped us really feel at-ease and excited, reducing our stress every step of the way. Professionalism, attention to detail, kindness, great attitude; all-around a wonderful team of people. Not to mention the food--we had a very difficult group to feed with tons of dietary restrictions and BTS really made it work; we received non-stop compliments on how great the food was and how many options there were.The team put in the work to find perfect rentals for us that exactly matched our vision. They took the time to send over revision after revision of our layout until we felt exactly right, and the day-of set up was absolutely incredible and everything went so smoothly.I could go on for so long about how much I appreciate BTS--they were the highlight of our whole wedding experience and we feel so grateful to have chosen them. Thank you thank you to Jessica for starting things off on the right foot and to Vanessa and Tina for helping all our dreams come true. If I could start all over again I wouldn't change a thing, 10/10 recommend :)

Our experience with BTS started off a little bit rocky, because of some turnover in our main contacts, but ultimately, we had a wonderful experience working with Vanessa. From the beginning, she was very attentive to detail and took very meticulous notes during our tastings to make sure the catering team and staff delivered the experience we envisioned. She was also very professional and pleasant to work with. We went with a custom menu for our wedding and everything turned out perfectly, from the food, to the table service, to the bartending and cocktails. My only wish is I had more time to enjoy the beautiful food and drinks that day. We can't tell you how many of our guests raved about the food. Vanessa also helped us coordinate a second line parade from the ceremony to our cocktail hour reception, which went off without a hitch. Thank you Vanessa and BTS for delivering such an unforgettable experience!!

The food and decor was amazing. Vanessa and her team where very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. We would go over every detail and they always made sure to check in. Will definitely be hiring them again. Thank you for helping us create a magical wedding!

My husband and I worked with BTS for our wedding. We selected them as our caterer because of their professionalism and great food selection. We worked directly with Vanessa. She is so kind and always would respond to our emails quickly. At our tastings they always had details to make sure it felt personalized. When the big day came they made our vision come to life! The staff was so kind. They made sure to serve my husband and I a plate with each item we served so that we could try everything, and be fed haha.

Look, I understand that a few bad apples at a company don't always reflect on the quality of the entire company. I get that. But. I recently volunteered for BTS at a huge event being held in my hometown. I volunteer a lot, it's kinda my thing. I love helping people and in this case the company was paying a non profit that I regularly volunteer for a decent amount of money for a group of us to work for them. Right away when I showed up for the ungodly and unnecessarily early call time of 7 am I knew it was not gonna be good. There was zero signage anywhere indicated where on a *multiple acre property* the volunteers were supposed to even check in. After wandering around and asking multiple people I finally found it. Only to be greeted by a single, clearly overworked person who was responsible for both paid worker and volunteer checkin. The paid workers were all super nice and patient, as was I. I stood there for 15 minutes waiting for my turn and explained that due to a temporary disability I would not be able to make the 10 minute walk to the volunteer location. I was told that they could absolutely accommodate me. Great I thought. I'll just stand over here and wait. 45 minutes later I'm still standing there (my injury prevents me from sitting) with no communication. When I politely asked for an update I was snarled at and told "I can't make them come any faster!" I wrote that one off as stress. I get it. It's a lot to run an event that size. But the remainder of my experience with this company was equally terrible. Without exception every single person that worked for them was rude, verbally abusive to me and others and treated all of us as if we were idiots who should be grateful for the some privilege of volunteering/working for them. No thank you. Don't do business with this company. You'll regret it.

I worked with BTS this weekend for a bar mitzvah event. They were wonderful! From a management standpoint, Vanessa was attentive, professional and very helpful. From a food standpoint, the chef created a delicious menu, it was artfully displayed and everything ran in time! The lead manager Saturday night was Megan and she was in control and so easy lovely to partner with! I highly recommend their entire team!!

BTS saved our wedding. We had 10 days to replan our entire wedding. Our venue cancelled on us 10 days before our wedding date. We were not allowed to dance. Twin Oaks Gardens was the venue. Anyhow, we found another place and BTS rocked it for us. The food, staff, and service were incredibly amazing. Our guests just could not say enough wonderful things about them. We were so happy with everything. Most of all the staff was professional and personable. Always smiling. BTS thank you, thank you, thank you from our hearts!!Warmly,Jacquellene and Branko

I would like to start out by saying behind the scenes has been nothing short of amazing. My experience started with Megan and she was incredible. She pays attention to extremely small details. I never once felt I was unheard or that I wasn't just as important as their next client. My wife's and my wedding date was literally two days after California re-opened and Megan was there to make sure everything went off without any glitches. I literally cannot rave about behind the scenes enough. Thank you all for making my wedding day so special!
