Catering Connection - Santa Barbara, California

Max Malinowski

Catering Connection was absolutely amazing. Working with Casey was great, she was clear and prompt with communication, flexible to changing needs, and great at helping us ideate different food options within our budget constraints.

The food was also incredible. We asked Catering Connection to recreate our favorite salmon tacos from a local restaurant as an appetizer, and they delivered. Part of working with Catering Connection involves trying each dish on the menu at their office prior to the wedding, and it was a super fun experience. We were able to make minor tweaks to the menu, and the experience gave us piece of mind going into our wedding that our food was going to be great.

During the wedding, all the food came out on time, and the staff was very professional. Additionally, the bartenders were all super fun and had excellent execution of our His and Hers cocktails.

I would work with Casey and the Catering Connection team again in a heartbeat.

We are so extremely grateful for finding Catering Connection!! Casey was so helpful, knowledgable, professional, and kind throughout the entire planning process and we simply could not have done this without her. She helped us understand what we needed, answered all of our millions of questions promptly, and worked with us so we could stay within our budget. It was such a joy to work with her and everyone at Catering Connection!!

Most importantly of all, the food was EXCELLENT! Many of our picky eaters or those with high food standards came to us during and after the wedding to tell us how incredible the entrees were! Unlike what happens at many weddings or events, everything from Catering Connection was still warm when we were eating it and it was truly delicious. And we still have people coming to us with compliments about the mini desserts!

Catering Connection also worked with Amigos Rentals and they worked with us to assemble our vision for our ceremony and reception! Everything was what we imagined and more!

Casey was an incredible person to work with for our wedding. She was so helpful during our food tasting and we felt so supported. It was also such a fun experience and we knew that if we could feel the energy in our tasting, that our guests would feel it at the wedding. Our guests keep telling us the food was so good and they haven’t eaten so much in their lives. Casey’s staff was so professional and worked as a team with our other vendors to create a seamless experience. I can’t say enough good things. I would 100% recommend.

Casey and Catering Connection was absolutely AMAZING! From the very start, she was incredibly easy to work with, responsive, and professional. Our expectations were high after an outstanding tasting, but they still managed to exceed them on our wedding day.

We opted for a buffet instead of a plated dinner, and every dish was beyond delicious. The passed appetizers were so tasty... my only regret is that I didn't get to eat more of them. Casey guided us every step of the way in the planning process, helping us choose the perfect number and kins of apps, cocktails, and buffet items to create the exact kind of party we envisioned.

Catering Connection genuinely delivered on every promise and more. I can't recommend them enough! If you're planning a wedding or any event, seriously just do yourself the favor and hire Catering Connection ASAP. They truly made our special day EASY and unforgettable.

We would highly recommend Catering Connection to anyone looking for a great caterer! Casey was friendly, fun, organized, and quick to respond to our endless emails. The team and chefs went above and beyond to create an Italian menu, along with an Italian themed grazing table. Our tasting was fun and all of the food was delicious! Every member of the crew was helpful, friendly, and professional. Thank you again for your wonderful service!

I worked in the Santa Barbara Events industry for 20 years. I worked with all of the caterers in town. There are several good ones. When it came to choosing who to work with for my daughter in law's wedding shower, we chose Catering Connection. It was a hot, sunny day, but they were cool cats. We never saw them sweat. (Not to say they weren't!) Food was delicious, service was excellent. No request went unattended. Always generous and responsive from our first inquiry, until our last bite. We all had a wonderful time, in no short part because we had the good sense to hire them. Highly recommended.

Casey and her team was so easy to work with as well as being super organized leading up to the event. I will definitely be using Catering Connection again for other events! They are the best!
