Great service, short notice planning accommodation. Food was really good and all the extra details were perfect! Very happy with the outcome!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We truly believe the 'extra details' are what make an event special, even on a tight timeline. It was such a pleasure serving you, and we’re so glad the food was a hit. We look forward to working with you again!

We worked with And and Lisa on a recent event in San Jose. They were both exceptional. An was key in the pre-planning and thought of everything and asked all of the right questions. Lisa took the lead on-site and followed through with a flawless event. They both went above and beyond. The food was also delicious! We plan to work with Hand Held Catering again for our next event in San Jose!

We are blushing! Thank you for such a wonderful review. It was a pleasure working with you in San Jose. An takes great pride in those pre-planning details, and we’re so happy Lisa was able to bring that vision to life for a flawless day. We’ll pass along your compliments to the kitchen team as well—knowing the food was a hit makes our day. See you at the next one!
