As You Like It Events & Catering was the best vendor I worked with in planning my daughter's wedding reception. Rachel, Phyllis and their team were extremely responsive, flexible and professional. Our family, guests and friends all talked about how great the food was. Everything they did was amazing. I would use them for any future events I host and highly recommend hiring them for a wedding or any other event. They won't disappoint and everything will be done "As You Like It."

We used As You Like It to cater our office holiday party, and it was amazing! Rachel was extremely responsive and friendly when she was helping me book the event. The servers were extremely friendly and professional, and the food was delicious! My employees were thrilled and the event was as success due to the caterer. Will be using them again for sure!

I would highly recommend this catering company. Rachel was a through professional to work with. They all arrived way before time to setup. They are dressed really well, service was with a smile. The food was delicious and quantity was also generous. They also cleaned up everything really nicely before they left. I had done passed appetizers and pasta station for 60 people and we never ran out of food. No complains from us !

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  Catering is the heart of our business, so our pricing is based on the cost of food service that is needed. Our menus are priced per person, with the exception of our "Gourmet a la Carte" menu, which is priced per quantity. From here, we add whatever is needed to provide an accurate estimate of catering costs for a particular event.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  Once we receive an inquiry, we try to provide whatever specific information is requested. Usually an event has so many variables that it is most helpful if we can talk with our customer for 20 - 30 minutes. We like to get a good understanding of what is needed, as every event is different. We like to know first what type of event is planned, and then get more event details (number of guests, style of service, theme or decor, other event services that are needed, type of food, budget, beverage or bar service, staffing details etc.).

• How did you get started doing this type of work?

  As You Like It Catering & Events was started in 1996, when the owners took over a small cafe in Corona. Pretty quickly, it became clear that catering was the way to go, and the dining room was changed over to office space, and the kitchen was revamped to handle larger catering orders.
