Daniel is a fantastic chef, his food was delicious, nicely presented, highly customizable and everyone at our wedding enjoyed it immensely. We hired him to cater our wedding at the Hammond Castle and he was easy to work with, extremely accommodating, flexible and absolutely worth the money. We wanted to have an immersive fairy tale themed wedding and wanted to incorporate ingredients that appeared in storybook fairy tales into the food we serve our guests. So upon request and after numerous revisions, Daniel patiently and creatively customized the whole menu (from hors d'oeuvre to the buffet to to the side dishes) fit our theme and even came up with some creative names for the dishes. We are really blessed to have found Daniel on Thumbtack! We didn't have a large budget, and as anyone that is planning a wedding these days knows, food is expensive and just about everything associated with a wedding has gone up. But unlike others, Daniel's catering company doesn't charge thousands of dollars for staffing and things that made you say to yourself, "why am I paying for these?" He quoted us the food and bar (Open bar with wine, beer and sangria) cost per head, cost per server and bartender and when we finalized the guest count, he added in the tip. Everything was clear and there were no surprises. The only complaints that we had with Daniel was that his service doesn't include rentals and he only takes cheques! However, with the money we've saved, the quality that we get and the outstanding outcome for our event, those are not an issue at all.

Daniel catered for our wedding of 100 people. He met with me twice to discuss the menu initially. We have a budget and Daniel worked with me to customize the menu within our budget and also include sides that we have asked for. The food was delicious and everything went smoothly. He also cut and plated the cakes. We couldn’t have asked for a better caterer. We are so grateful we found you!

I picked Daniel to cater my backyard wedding late Oct. 2019. It's THE BEST DECISION I made for my wedding vendors!! First, the food was AMAZING!! Everybody loved it! He is a really good chief!! He is also really good at working with food allergies. We had quiet a few food restrictions in our guest party and he was able to accommodate them all!! (Big hug for Daniel!) Second, he's really experienced with event planning, he actually came out to our house TWICE and gave us good suggestions for the event as well (not just about the food). Third, he and his crew were so professional and friendly, many of our guests told me not only they loved the food, but also enjoyed the conversation pieces with the catering crew! Many of our guests asked for their business card as well. I totally recommend him for your catering event. I look forward to work with him again for my future events! Pro tip: Daniel is REALLY GOOD with his beef, if you are a meat eater, make sure you have some of his steak on the menu. hahaha

Details: Wedding • Cocktail hour or hors d'oeuvres • Dinner • Dessert • Non-alcoholic drinks • Coffee or tea • Italian • Barbecue • Asian • Vegan • American - formal • Buffet • Yes, full service • Home • Yes, full kitchen • 40 - 49 guests • Plates, utensils and glasses • Cloth napkins • Serving and warming equipment • Table décor • Standard (basic ingredients)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! Daniel and his fabulous staff catered my daughters wedding with 130+ guests to rave reviews! Not only was the food OUTSTANDING (cold station appetizers, amazing hot passed appetizers, dinner( tenderloin you could cut with a fork) and Pasta Daniel (that still makes my mouth water!) and a great selection of desserts) but the service, professionalism, and genuine kindness of Daniel and his staff was exemplary! He took care of every detail from preparing signature cocktails, timing the service of courses perfectly, food presentation and clean up. My husband and I were able to enjoy the entire reception worry-free. Daniel is a Master Caterer! Can't wait to have another event so we can hire Daniel again!

The short version: we hired Daniel for our wedding of 89 people. He is an excellent cheff, he makes high quality delicious food and at a very reasonable price. He delivered exactly what we were looking for and more. The longer version if you have time: we found Daniel on this website, or he found us when we posted an inquiry. We were unsure if the event would be 150 people or 90 as we invited many from oversees. He had a proposed menu with pricing within hours. Within a day we had spoken on the phone and were Confirmed for our wedding 8 months or so away. As we weren't living in California we could not meet in person but reading Daniels reviews and speaking with him instilled confidence in our choice. Additionally I did reach out to another caterer to get a price check as it was recommended I do so from a friend. And when I opened the local companies quote I discovered they charges 3 times the price Daniel does, and were only offering a few appetizers, mains and a couple side dishes with 1 dessert. For 1/3 the price Daniel provided us with: 6 hot appetizers, cold station with dips and crudite upon guest arrival, delicious beef, a creamy chicken pesto with noodles, salmon with red pepper, salad w/ Gorgonzola and pear, rolls, roasted vegetables, AND many delicious desserts: creme brûlée, brownies, macaron (a surprise cookie as my family is French), coffee and tea -- and more I'm likely forgetting. He also provided licensed bartenders and a full staff. We provided our own alcohol and they did a very nice job with serving. Before the event Daniel prepared a "tasting" which I assumed meant a small sample of foods for the wedding. He came to our house with enough food to feed 6 of us for 3 days!!! And it was phenomenal. While with us he offered a place in his home for my family in France to stay if they needed. I'm not sure if I was more overjoyed by his kind, generous, caring and wonderful personality or his amazing culinary skills. We knew he was the BEST choice because not only would we get a great product from him but he as a person would add joy to the most joyful day of our lives. And on our wedding day 2 days ago, we heard comments about how delicious the food was from many of our guests. I attempted to try everything and was very pleased with the results (though I must admit my happiness interfered with my appetite on the day--but that's ok because I have leftovers to feed us for a week). One guest came up to me and said it was the best wedding food she had ever had. Giving our friends and family a delicious meal and great experience was so important to me and Daniel made that possible. I didn't see him until after the meal as the night was getting later but when I did it lit up my night even more! He and his beautiful wife were smiling as they worked in the kitchen and gave us such sweet wedding wishes. It was quite meaningful to me to be treated like a friend as well as with professionalism. If you are looking for a caterer with exceptional food, a wonderful personality, and great prices Daniel is your best choice. I would recommend him for an event of any size and Daniel, we will be contacting you in the future if we are ever looking for a caterer. Thank you so much!!!
