We were absolutely thrilled with Hickory Lane Catering! The owner, Julie, was easy to work with, and her passion for great food and service are truly outstanding. She created a very special menu for my daughter Jasmine's wedding celebration dinner, which included some vegan options (because Jasmine's vegan) and Japanese food (because her husband, Yoshi, is Japanese). Julie and her team also provided a terrific bar service for the event (loved the single Mojito I had), and champagne for the toast. All was done with a can-do attitude, high-level of professionalism, and finesse! I'd hire Julie again in a heartbeat!

We chose Hickory Lane Catering randomly online and by reviews. I had never used a caterer before and wasn’t sure what to expect. We could not have been more pleased. Julie and her staff were so professional, kind, and helpful. The food was excellent. I did not have to worry about a thing, but was able to fully enjoy our 50th Anniversary celebration. I would highly, highly recommend them.

Booked Julie and Hickory Lane Catering for my engagement celebration in the Malibu Hills and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! There are so many enticing meals, sides, bites and deserts to choose from and whatever you end up choosing is sure to be decadent. I would love to book them again for my next event

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We try to meet any budget and offer flexible options to help you get the most for your money without compromising the integrity of the food.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We ask a few questions and provide pre-set menus to get started, then build menu options for you based on your preferences. From there we make adjustments and add special touches.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My first educators were my mother who baked and my father who mastered the grill and smoker. Followed by all the aunties who didn't mind a little girl asking them how they did THAT. As an adult, I completed a course in french cooking techniques and am a certified holistic nutritional consultant. When I travel, I take cooking courses to learn about local cuisine and techniques.
