I'd like to start off by saying I could feel the warmth in David's voice the first time I spoke with him on the phone. This is the first time I've ever purchased something like this online without meeting in person or seeing the food firsthand. I must say I trusted my gut instinct and was right. Im grateful for all the reviews and pictures because these were also a big reason I chose David and his Cowabunga crew to cater my wedding. We chose the chicken & pulled pork for the meat along with his baked beans, macaroni & cheese, salad and rolls. Everything was delicious! Its obvious he pours his heart into the job he does! Sitting here with a million things to do after our event but wanted to take a few minutes out because I felt this review was more important. If you are on the fence about hiring this company don't be, you won't regret it i promise! Thank you David & family for being so respectful & courteous to myself my fiance and all the guests! Professionalism at its best!💚💚💚

The food was amazinnnnggg! We hired David for our wedding. He and his wife were so great to work with. They are so flexible and truly take pride in what they do. Let’s not even talk about the food. It was so hard to choose what entrees and sides we wanted because all the options were great. The food was delicious. Everybody kept talking about how good the food was. We chose the ribs, pulled pork, beans, her-roasted potatoes, and Caesar salad. The prices are so reasonable as well. Out of everyone that we contacted, David was the best to work with. Our wedding was in such a remote location that not many catering companies were willing to come out for a party of 20. However, David and his wife are extremely down to earth, welcoming and are truly the definition of an amazing family business. I would definitely recommend!

We hired Cowabunga for our wedding meal from across the country, hoping and praying their food was good without a taste test. We were beyond pleased with their service and food. Everyone at my wedding came up to me saying how great the food was. My husband and I also agreed. We were blown away. Not only was their food spectacular but we they were super friendly and provided excellent service. I didn’t have to worry about a thing! I would highly recommend Cowabunga to anyone!!!! -Robbie & Jeni

12/10! Food tasted great, great value, generous amount of food, on time, and great response time! Everyone loved it. Fan favorites were the baked beans and Huli Huli chicken.

So many fabulous things to say about David and his family! We hired Cowabunga catering for our daughter's wedding. They served up an elegant buffet for 90 guests who attended. We had delicious brisket, chicken, loaded potato salad, mac and cheese, baked beans, salad, and rolls, everything was incredible. They served the food quickly and on time. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was, they have had a hard time deciding what was their favorite, because everything was so yummy! David and his family are incredibly warm and friendly. Trina was so calm and helpful, I can't thank her enough for all that she did above and beyond. This is an all-around wonderful company from start to finish it was the easiest part of the wedding planning. I would recommend Cowabunga catering in a heartbeat, they are a wonderful, kind, hardworking and the food was fantastic. I look forward to having their food again soon!
