24 carrots catering & events

24 Carrots is delicious. Everything is phenomenal! Some things might seem a little pricey, but you are paying for quality and service and you definitely get it. Try the butternut squash ravioli and the crusted halibut. The coconut shrimp appetizers are amazing as well!

Everyone at 24 Carrots were great to work with! They made this major part of the wedding stress free for us. The service and food were amazing and all our guests had a great time. Lynn was on-site, ready to go and, when I realized we forgot something after the wedding at 11pm, she was quick to pick up the phone and help out!

The food was phenomenal! The choices to choose from and quality were exceptional. However, the only thing we asked before paying for 6 hours of an open bar was that they not run out of Jack Daniels, and one hour before the bar closed, they did. Again, A+ service and food, just hoped they were more prepared behind the bar!

There is absolutely nothing I can complain about when it comes to 24 Carrots. They are awesome to work with! My event specialist, Kimberlyn, was the sweetest person to work with not to mention super efficient, responsive and professional. She was a dream to work with - I'm sure the rest of 24 Carrots staff is just as great but if you get to work with Kimberlyn you will not regret it!Our guests loved the food and service at the wedding - they are still raving about it! After the wedding, we saw so many photos of the FOOD on our friends' and families' Facebook pages! Everything about the event ran smoothly...at least to my knowledge...and if any issues did come up they must have handled everything asap b/c my hubby and I were never bothered or stressed out about anything catering related the entire night. I believe 24 Carrots is great at handling every last detail. They are a bit of an investment but they truly handle so many details and aspects of the event plus the fact that they are so pleasant to work with makes it worth the investment.

We worked very closely with Jami at 24 Carrots. She was FABULOUS. When we came for the first tasting, before we met her, there was a different woman (no longer there) and a different chef (no longer there). We were a bit dissatisfied with the tasting, but as soon as we contacted Jami, she quickly assured us we could come back and have another tasting. The second time around, we were thrilled with the results- the new chef is superb, and the appetizers, main course, and desserts were absolutely spectacular. Furthermore, the food was even better at the wedding. You wouldn't know they were cooking for 150 people!Working with Jami was so incredibly easy. She responded to every email very quickly and efficiently, always with a positive and pleasant vibe. She had many helpful suggestions, and coordinated beautifully with all the involved vendors. Finally, the staff of 24 Carrots on the wedding day far surpassed our expectations. They took great care of us, the bride and groom, from start to finish- from having a plate of appetizers and champagne ready for us at a remote location as we took pictures right after the ceremony, to having all our untouched food wrapped for a late night snack. We had an incident at our cocktail hour where some of the guests placed themselves right at the entrance where the waiters with appetizers emerged, leaving the majority of guests without food. The waiters recognized this and quickly reorganized. They cunningly outsmarted our guests by taking other routes to reach the rest of the hungry guests- WAY TO GO 24 CARROTS! :) This type of response is just an example of thoughtfuless and attentiveness that 24 Carrots gave us throughout the day and the planning process.

The food was amazing. They were very helpful with our guests special dietary needs.

24 Carrots was fantastic! The food was delicious and everyone raved but they did so much more than food. From the chivari chairs, silverware, bar service...everything was done so well. We choose to have some after hours snacks tray passed and they were a huge hit! Lynn took care of us and was amazing. We wound up being a little under in our number of guests and they took some costs down which helped us save and pay for other things for the wedding. The staff was very professional and there was never a line at the bar. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.

Let me say that 24 Carrots is the best catering company that I have ever worked with or eaten food from! The food was mouth watering and the service was exceptional. I fell in love with their "candy bar cupcakes" at my tasting and had dreams about them for a week. Their presentation of their delicious food is also amazing, very creative and the perfect extra something that we were looking for.

OH MY GOSH- 24 Carrots did the most amazing job at my wedding!I worked with Jami Willis pretty much exclusively, and she was amazing. She always got back to me, had great ideas, and made everything happen seamlessly. ALL of my guests said it was the best food they'd EVER had at a wedding- and people were blown away by the service! My mom said the thing she loved most about them was that it looked like they didn't even break a sweat! People were amazed to learn that they had set up a full kitchen and cooked everything on site.All the food was fantastic- hot food came hot, cold food was cold, the presentation was amazing, and I loved how Jami worked with us to switch up the menu.I did family-style service, and it was just pulled off perfectly. Short ribs, chicken, mashed potatoes, veggie lasagne- I wanted all the classics but done elegantly and with a twist- and 24 Carrots made it happen!I can't say enough about them- and Jami in particular! PS- after looking far and wide for great cupcakes, we did a tasting with 24 Carrots and decided to use them for dessert after all. Their desserts were incredible, and they even packed up the leftovers and put them in our fridge! (TRY the chocolate peanut butter pies!!!).

24 Carrots was very accommodating, fun, and professional. The food was excellent!

24 Carrots catered our wedding at Rancho Las Lomas. Since we did not have a choice of caterer, we were a little concerned because we have been to many a catered affair and usually are unimpressed or underwhelmed by the food. It's not possible to serve close to 200 people and have the food taste good too, is it? Well, apparently it is. We were truly impressed at how well 24 Carrots catered our wedding. The staff was professional and efficient. Plus, the food was delicious!

The food at my daughter's reception was wonderful. We had a few guests with food allergies and they adapted their meals perfectly and made sure the correct meals were given to those guests.

24 carrots catered our wedding last month and they were amazing! from the very beginning (which was a year and a half ago) to the day of, heather (and the 24 carrots team) was great and on top of things. knowing that the food was very important part to us, she really went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. everything was so delicious! we are still getting compliments from guests about how tasty everything was. the wait staff was really great as well. they were very attentive and were always making sure my husband and i were OK with drinks and food. they helped make our wedding so special (and stress free) for us and our guest. thank you so much 24 carrots (and heather!), you're the best!

24 Carrots did a phenomenal job catering my wedding at Rancho Las Lomas! The guests are still talking about how delicious the food was and how they licked their plates clean. The appetizers, presentation, dinner and drinks were served professional by the wonderful staff. Bravo 24 Carrots!

24 Carrots provided our food and event rentals for our wedding at Rancho Las Lomas. Everything was perfect and amazing. The food was wonderful and the event staff was very nice and on top of everything. We did not have to worry about a thing because they had it all covered. We highly recommend 24 Carrots for your next event!

The food was excellent!

24 Carrots is hands down THE BEST catering company in Orange County! We used 24 Carrots for our wedding this past March, and this post will never be able to express how amazing they are. Here are some of the top reasons to choose them as a caterer for your next event: 1. THE FOOD - Seems obvious, but so many caterers don't focus on the quality of their food! Everything at our tasting was delicious!! It's easy to serve delicious food to a couple though...what really impressed us and our guests was the quality of the food at the actual wedding. You hope the food will be the same quality the day of the wedding, but when feeding over a hundred people that can be a challenge for some caterers. Not for 24 Carrots!! Everything...appetizers, salads, main course, late night snacks...was perfect. Served at the appropriate temperatures, excellent taste, great portions. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!!! 2. THE PEOPLE - Kimberlyn Richardson was our event coordinator. Words can't express how awesome Kimberlyn is! Her focus is catering, but beyond making sure the catering and rentals are perfect, she is so nice and truly cares about the people she's working with. She goes the extra mile to make sure you're happy and well taken care of. Additionally, all the staff at 24 Carrots (servers, bartenders, chefs, even people who work in the office/accounting areas) were extremely professional, nice, and treated us very well! 3. PRESENTATION - Their food is plated and garnished so beautifully. Really shows the pride they take in their work. The great thing is that it doesn't just stop there...LOVED that when they served our guests dinner all people at the table were served at the exact same time. This made everyone feel so special...exactly as it would be presented at a high end restaurant. 4. OVERALL VALUE - 24 Carrots is definitely not the cheapest catering company in the area and I am huge on value, so in the beginning I struggled with pricing. In the end though, it's clear to me that hiring 24 Carrots is worth far more than what you pay. We did not have to worry about one single detail in regards to catering because we were reassured at every point in the process not just through words, but through actions, that we would be well taken care of. When investing in a major event, this is something you can't put a price on. Combine that with the amazing food, people, and presentation style, and you really can't afford to not hire them. They won't disappoint even the most picky or detail oriented (trust me -- I'm both :) )!!!

24 Carrots provided amazing food & service at our wedding. Many of our guests said it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding! Their service personnel are all true professionals and helped create a fantastic atmosphere at our wedding. We can't thank them enough!!-Susan and Michael 3-12-2011 at Rancho Las Lomas

We were amazed for the great service, everything was perfect, the set up it rained all day but they had plan B. Wow the food was delicious and our guest truly enjoyed and kept praising such a wonderful personnel. 24 Carrots is great! Heather is amazing! Thank you!!

24 Carrots food was amazing!! I got tons of compliments about both the hor d vors and the main dish. The staff at the wedding was friendly and everything flowed really nicely. The only complaint I would have is that their office staff seemed unorganized. They lost both checks we sent to them via mail, and we had to rush around at the end to get a cashier's check for the final payment. They did mail us the check's once they found them, but it seemed a little unprofessional.

I just got married on oct 9th and I must say the food was a big hit! Both our cocktail and dinner menus were vegetarian, which is not common in most weddings but everyone repeatedly told us how much they loved the food. I also enjoyed so much working with Lynn Rinek, our event planner. She was so wonderful to work with and so accommodating to our needs. She made the entire experience so memorable and pleasant. We had to change the reception venue the last minute and she was able to help us execute the vision we had for the event with very little time. We had an outdoor wedding and it was the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to and I am so proud that it was mine.I would recommend 24 Carrots to anyone who is planning an event, you won't regret it!

Amazing. I loved my team at 24 Carrots. They worked with me to meet my budget and made my day truly special.

THE BEST!! 24 Carrots Catering is by far the best....The food presentation was incredible and delicious!! The event coordinator, Jami Willis, goes above and beyond for you, I didn't have to worry about anything with Jami on my side. All my guests were so impressed....They're still talking about how wonderful my Wedding was!!Also, I was on a pretty tight budget, but they accommodated me, you would have thought I spent 3 times the amount I really did....I planned my Wedding in 6 weeks, you would have never known :)

24 Carrots has to be THE best catering company in Orange County. We only used them for our cocktail hour, bartenders, and for a french fry bar to accompany the In and Out Truck that we had instead of a formal sit-down dinner. The food is still being talked about! They provided us with cute mason jar glassware and great beverage selections. A bit pricey, but toatally worth it.

I dont know where to begin because 24 carrots and especially Laura Burkle meant so much to me...but ill try :)You would have to know me (the perfectionist) to understand that my review is wholeheartedly honest. Beyond the amazing food that they make and the creative ways in which they serve and display the food, the people that work for them are the warmest, kindest and most caring people. Laura, you have no idea how greatful I am to have met you. I always looked forward to our visits and phone calls (she was my part time therapist LOL). 24 carrots didnt just get the job done; they understood the people we were and made the party as if we ourselves had hosted the wedding at our home.You wouldn't believe how many people have called me and came up to me at the wedding to tell me how amazing the food and the service was.Just to give you an example...My husband Seth and I were sitting in the bridal cottage (at Rancho Las Lomas) waiting for the guests to finish the cocktail hour and then find their seats. During that time, two of the servers came to us and asked us what we would like to eat and drink. To some this may sound insignificant, but on the day of my wedding it made me feel like a queen.Its the little things :)In addition to the food services, 24 carrots are amazing at invitations. I wish I could post mine to show all of you.ok ill stop writing... but I recommend 24 carrots for any event and I will definitely be using them again should I ever have a GRAND party.xoxo Danielle Morad.

24 Carrots did a fabulous job. They stood out to me because they were hip, friendly, and special. Food was one of the most important things for my wedding, so I had to try out several places to make sure that my guests would have good food. 24 Carrots laid out a great tasting menu for me, and it was hard to not choose them because their food was so yummy! We had various meals throughout the night, including late night snacks for the guests, and the guests really appreciated that. The guests complimented me on the food, and also complimented me on the great wait service. I have also recommended 24 carrots to cater my company events now. So, I would definitely recommend them to other couples.

The food was fantastic! We had a little something for everyone and our guests are still commenting on how great the food was. The staff was also fantastic they were all so nice and helpful, all our guests had a great time!

The very best! The food is amazing!!!!!!!! 24carrots is the most professional group of caters I have come across. I have used them 3 times in the last 8 months for an engagement party, a bridal shower and my daughters reception. Each event was an entirely different menu with a different theme. Each event was raved about by all who attended. Working with Kimberlyn was a dream. She was on top of everything and communicated constantly assuring the end results were exactly what we expected and more! Their menus are as simple or as complex as you want them with the highest quality food prep and presentation. Very accommodating and flexible to work with. They are a one stop shop as well, with rentals printing services, almost everything you need for your event.Watching them at my daughters wedding reception (new venue to them) was like watching a Swiss timepiece. They were in such sync due to great organization and management. Especially Kimberlyn...Thanks to all at 24 carrots, you guys are amazing!

I can not even begin to tell what a great team we had for my son's wedding. It was at my home, both service and reception. Kimberlyn Richardson was my contact and she walked the Bride, Groom and myself through every step if the way. I feel that she made sure that we got the most for our money and the best of service.The team that was sent to our home was beyond wonderful. By 6:30 p.m. I was done, and I took Debbie, our team leader, aside and told her to please take over and make this wonderful. I am still hearing back from our guests as to how these people made sure that their every need was taken care of. Food was taken to my D.J. and bartenders and before I knew it I was sitting with a plate of food in front of me as I missed the buffet line.Tonight we met a neighbor who have used 24 Carrots in the past and raved about them and when I told them how wonderful our event turned out the said they would be using them for future events.I can type all night but can not even come close to telling the true value of this group. They came in and I would have to say they handled everything as if it was one of their family getting married.Thank you 24 Carrots and please feel free to have anyone contact me for a reccomendation.

Don't think twice about using 24 Carrots for your wedding or any event. Lynn is the best! She helped out so much with my wedding at the Newland Barn. She even helped us find the venue! Down to the last detail she was there for everything! The food was amazing! The bridesmaids were asking for seconds before they even finished the first plate! Many people said it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten!

Our venue, Rancho Las Lomas, required us to use 24 Carrots since ours was a weekend wedding. We were at first a little miffed that we were forced to use them, and when we went to our first tasting, we were pretty disappointed. However, they let us do second tasting (after we asked) and we were so happy we asked. The second tasting was way better than the first one; almost seemed like two different catering companies.Luckily, the food was more like our second tasting than our first tasting; very good. The servers were all extremely professional and friendly. All of staff is very friendly, professional, and quick. We were impressed with how quickly they were able to turn the area from ceremony to reception.Our only nits:-the way that the menu is that Rancho provides and those by 24 Carrots are confusing about the minimum number of guests required. There were a mismatch, which we were confused about and we were a little short of the minimum. Very small nit though.-after our event, we had some follow up questions but never heard back. Pre-wedding communications were excellent though.-we only gave a 4 for value; they're not expensive by any sense of the word, and they are very very good, but they're not ridiculously inexpensive. ;)

We were absolutely thrilled with our wedding at Rancho Las Lomas on June 12, 2010 with 24 Carrots as our caterer. 24 Carrots catering was FANTASTIC. They handled the food, bar, linens, everything - and did it perfectly. I never heard "sorry, we can't do that" or "I don't know what you want me to do" when we had questions, requests or concerns in the weeks before the wedding. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding. Even down to our event captain, Heather, folding our napkins herself to insure that they were a perfect fit for our menu cards. They lived up to every expectation I had....even surpassing most of them! We got so many comments about how professional the catering staff was at the wedding, how beautifully presented and yummy the appetizers, late night snacks, and entrees were (no cold food at a wedding of 180 people!), how quick the staff responded to the guests, and just generally how fabulous our wedding was! I would without a doubt recommend 24 Carrots to any couple who wants their wedding to be a fun, classy, gorgeous, relaxing and amazing experience. I'm not a perfectionist in my everyday life, but for my wedding I morphed into one. With 24 Carrots at the wheel, we were relaxed and able to enjoy our day! It was still a blur, as I hear most wedding days are, but all of our guests said it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever attended. I would, without hesitation, recommend 24 Carrots to anyone considering using them for their wedding!

Oh my gosh... we just LOVED our experience with Lynn and 24 Carrots. Like several other couples, we interviewed several other caterers and just weren't impressed until we found 24 Carrots. They really had the quality of food we were seeking, it was delicious and our guests loved it. Most brides don't even eat, but I made sure to eat that night because I wasn't going to miss out. Our experience with Lynn throughout the whole process was perfect, we have no complaints. She and the team were so helpful and made my mother and I feel so at ease throughout the planning process. The service on the wedding day was so amazing... the server dedicated to my husband and I literally chased us down the street as we took photos with our own special plate of appetizers and champagne. It was amazing and the appetizers, which are my favorite part of a meal.... divine! Then as we sat down the gentlemen serving my husband and I did such an incredible job, he catered to our every need and made us feel so special. Lynn, how can I thank you enough... you made the whole night go smoothly... even though we were a little off schedule, you were awesome, providing alternatives and never making me feel worried or rushed. You felt like a friend by the end of the whole thing, after a year of corresponding, tastings, walk thru's, etc. You were amazing. I couldn't be more pleased with the whole experience and if I had to to it again, I would choose 24 Carrots, hands down. They totally exceeded our expectations... which were high :O) Thank you soo much, you were such a huge part of making our wedding day so wonderful. I would recommend 24 Carrots to all future brides!

We got married at Rancho Las Lomas so we didn't have a choice on which caterer to use. They also handled all of our rentals (linens, tables, chairs, etc). Heather was our event coordinator at 24 Carrots and she was really nice, but very difficult to get a hold of. It would take a few days for her to respond to our emails, but once we got in contact with her she was super helpful. She made sure we stayed within our budget and made a lot of great suggestions.

Now for the food. Everything was good except for the chicken. One of our tables was served raw chicken at the wedding and it looked as if it was just seared. Our guests that received the raw chicken mentioned it to the 24 carrots staff and they didn't do anything about it. They didn't even bring out another plate of food. It was very embarrassing to find this out and we spent quite a bit of money for our guests to enjoy dinner, so this is very disappointing. After the wedding we sent an email to Heather regarding the raw chicken and she completely ignored the email. So if you decide to get married at Rancho and you have to use 24 Carrots, DO NOT ORDER THE CHICKEN!! They were an ok company to work with and the food is decent if it's cooked and prepared correctly, but honestly we will never use this caterer again for any event.

My husband and I were married at Rancho Las Lomas and didn't have a choice on picking a caterer. 24 Carrots took care of all our rentals. My main issue was with the event coordinator that were assigned. In my opinion, she was very standoffish. I absolutely did not enjoy working with her. They were an ok company to work with and the food is decent. I honestly cannot say that I would recommend them to anyone.

My fiancee (now-husband!) and I had a very specific vision for our wedding when we began searching for catering vendors last year. He and I are from England and California respectively, but were living in Italy at the time - we wanted to create a menu that really reflected us personally & that showcased our 'foodie' side as well as our cultural backgrounds. We didn't want the same ol' boring 'chicken or beef' kind of wedding - but envisioned doing creative interactive food stations based on our tastes. And, we didn't want a cake, but wanted to do a gourmet imported cheese table with fruits, and a candy buffet. We interviewed a few caterers and none quite 'got it' until we spoke with Lynn Rinek (Who is THE BEST!!!) at 24 Carrots - she completely understood our vision & not only executed it with her team perfectly, but essentially walked through the entire planning experience with us over the past 10 months and made it her vision as well. Our wedding was last Friday night, April 9th and I can honestly say that EVERYTHING went better than we'd even hoped - Lynn was there for us throughout the entire evening, always one step ahead of us. For example, at one point I panicked when I noticed that a guest had brought a date that I'd not anticipated - I was looking for Lynn to see if she could make an extra place setting for his date when she actually found me and said, "Not to worry! I noticed when they came in and it's all handled already - we pulled up an extra chair and made her a place card!" It was incredible! Lynn's coordination allowed me to feel like one of the happiest, most relaxed brides ever - everything ran smoothly, the food was delicious & was prepared to gourmet standards (a FAR cry from the typical 'chicken or beef' kinda' scenario!!) - our guests are still raving about our 'alternative taco martini bar' and 'interactive risotto station'!! I may not have mentioned this, but my career background is actually in event planning and PR Management - I've coordinated events for over 10 years for high-end luxury companies around the globe - and I can honestly say that the job that 24 Carrots and Lynn Rinek did for us is some of the BEST catering in the country, and in fact the world. My only regret is that I'm not getting to still work with them at the moment!! Maybe I'll just need to hand in my resume, I loved their team so much!?! ;-) THANK YOU, LYNN & THE 24 CARROTS TEAM!!! Brides - if you are in doubt & need a good caterer in Southern California, look no further!! You've found the best right here!!

24 carrots did a great job at our wedding. In the process of planning everything we worked with Heather and she was AMAZING! She was extremely flexible. The food was fantastic and all of our guests for more than satisfied with all that was offered.

The food and service provided 24 Carrots was SUPERB! Our wedding went great and according to plan thanks to 24 Carrots. Our friends and family were very impressed at 24 Carrot at our wedding. They set up our wedding perfectly just how we like it. If i were to give 24 Carrot a grade, without a doubt I'll give them an A+

Wow, what can I say? I am still blown away by 24 Carrots--they are absolutely THE best caterers, hands-down! Cornel and I and my family met them in 2007, when they were on a list of four caterers for Rancho Las Lomas, and it was an absolute MUST that we hire them. They blew away the competition. And my family is picky about food--we can be hard to please. But 24 Carrots is not like other catered food--it can compete with some of the best restaurants! It was no surprise to us when they were selected to be the preferred caterer at Rancho--they are simply the best. Our guests could not believe how amazing everything was--people who normally don't like ahi tuna, or coconut shrimp, tasted it and LOVED every bite! Guests told us our food was easily the best they've ever had at a wedding--some even said it was the best filet mignon and halibut they've ever had, period! The quality, and the value, are absolutely worth every penny. Plus, you have Heather and Norm, who are just phenomenal people to work with, and went above and beyond every expectation! Heather went out of her way to please us--it's really been such a joy to work with her. We had to change our wedding date a year into our engagement, and everything flowed so seamlessly! We made several changes to our budget and Heather and Norm accommodated us so easily and effortlessly that at no time did I ever feel stressed. I felt absolutely at ease, knowing we were all in great hands! And that's how you should feel on your wedding day, and in the months leading up to it--you need to trust your caterers and feel confident that they will take care of everything for you. I am not used to being so spoiled, and I feel like I will need to spoil them back, because everything they've done has just been magical, like a dream come true! Thanks Heather, Norm, and the wonderful staff at 24 Carrots for making my and Cornel's dream a reality!

We loved 24 Carrots! The food was absolutely delicious! So many guests came up to us and told us it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. The staff on the wedding day was great. They kept the food and drinks coming and were very friendly and accommodating. The food was my husband's favorite part of the whole wedding!

We worked with Heather Smith and I can't say enough good things about her! She helped us get the perfect linens, which wasn't exactly easy. Finding linens in the color we wanted was a little tough, but Heather still managed to find us multiple options. She was very attentive and I always felt like she genuinely cared about our wedding. Not all wedding vendors act this way, so I really appreciated it! If you're thinking of working with 24 Carrots, I would definitely request to work with Heather!

We've already recommended 24 Carrots to several friends who are getting married soon. I can't imagine them doing anything less than a stellar job!

24 Carrots is the most professional and detail oriented caterer I have ever encountered. Highly, highly recommend. They took so much stress off me on my wedding day and it felt like I had a wedding planner with their staff. Although they are not the cheapest they are the best value because of the service and extra effort that they put into your event. I can't imagine having done my wedding without their help. THEIR FOOD IS AMAZING!!!! Everyone loved it and raved about the food and service. A++++++++++

24 Carrots was awesome. The food at our wedding was AMAZING!! We decided to do a strolling cocktail party with stations and try passed hors devours. Mashed potato martini bar, pasta bar, grown up grilled cheese sandwiches w/ tomato bisque, mini sliders and a chocolate fountain. We got many comments on how good the food was and how cool it was that they were able to make their own. My only complaint was that we paid A LOT for an open bar and they ran out of many types of beers and liquors early in the night. Guests were disappointed and we were too. When we called to express our displeasure, they said that they did all they could do and even went to the store once to buy more. My opinion is if we paid for the liquor, they should have gone back to the store 10 times to keep the bar stocked if needed. Other than that, everything was PERFECT!!

24 Carrots-- WONDERFUL STAFF- EXCELLENT VALUE- THEY GO THE EXTRA MILE FOR YOU!! They exceeded my expectations. The food was incredible - my guests told me that the food was some of the best they have ever had. The staff are wonderful to work with - very accomodating and flexible. I also appreciated their advice and honesty on how to improve my wedding reception/ceremony such as adding lighting (which made a huge difference) but not spending additional money on other upgrades. My wedding set up was perfect- they also provided extra support (at no cost) like lighting candles, putting extra things on our tables, and helping out with whatever we needed. Honestly, I was completely blown away by 24 Carrots, as were my guests.

24 Carrots did an outstanding job for us. The ceremony/reception were delayed 1 1/2 hours due to sudden illness and hospitalization of groom's mother, yet 24 Carrots stepped up and handled everything beautifully. All of the food was delicious, beautifully served - guests are still talking about the delicious food and the outstanding service throughout the evening. Can't say enough about their flexibility and reaction to the delay insuring that all of the food was timely and properly served to perfection to our guests. Cannot recommend them enough. Too bad can't rate them higher.

I can't say enough about how great it has been working with Laura Burkle of 24 Carrots. We live in NYC and have been working with Laura to plan our September wedding at Castle Green in Pasadena. She has gone above and beyond not only in the food and rentals that 24 carrots provides, but in coordinating with other vendors to meet our traditional and cultural aspects for the wedding. Laura is a breath of fresh air. You would hope that all people you work for would be like her. She is thoughtful, thorough and incredibly accommodating. She has really allowed us to enjoy the planning process of our wedding- especially since we are across the country and can't meet with many of the vendors ourselves.

We loved the food in the tasting- the chef was not only incredibly talented but personable and fun. I feel like I'm in great hands with the staff at 24 carrots and highly recommend.

24 Carrots was amazing! Everything tasted great, plus it's put together so beautifully. They organized everything from the food, drinks and rentals. It could not have gone better!

The event staff were so much fun to have at our wedding!! They became friends with my family and guests!!! Several guests told me the service was excellent. I thought I was being spoiled because I was the bride!!! All my guests were spoiled.

I am somewhat of a food snob and cook a lot. In a major leap of faith, we hired 24 Carrots without tasting their food first -- and on our wedding day, we couldn't have been happier! We were planning our wedding from out of state and didn't have time to fly out for a food tasting. Instead we sent our wedding coordinator and my parents to a tasting because we felt our coordinator understood the level of quality and type of food we wanted. I've been to probably 10-15 weddings over the past three/four years and none of their food even came close to that of 24 Carrots. Let's be real, most wedding food is mediocre at best. But the hors d'oeuvres we picked from 24 Carrots were better than a lot of restaurants'. The entrees were well seasoned, well cooked, beautifully plated, and just overall felt like you were getting a special meal. Many of our guests raved about the food afterwards.

We had been trying to decide between 24 Carrots and another top-tier caterer in Southern CA. I did taste the other caterer's food (it was excellent) but didn't taste 24Cs so I couldn't base my decision on food. What impressed me about 24 Cs was that the catering manager assigned to me asked me if I was working with a wedding planner. I gave her the name and the catering manager said, "Oh, great. I haven't worked with her before but I'm looking forward to meeting her." In contrast, when the other caterer asked me about my coordinator, their response was a flat "Oh." I don't know if that meant disgust, disinterest, or what. But it turned me off and since then I did not regret choosing 24 Cs. Also, we hired 24Cs less than a month from the wedding date and they were able to work on that tight schedule without any problems. Finally, unfortunately, our catering manager was let go from the company a week before our wedding. But she still felt so personally involved with us that she still contributed to a small bride gift that she and my wedding planner put together for me. And the person who picked up in her place did so without a hitch.

Service-wise, everything was well done and completely professional. Cocktail hour and dinner service were executed in a timely manner, and the servers took good care of our guests. Our wedding was at the private home of a relative, and held outdoors, so 24 Carrots did have the additional challenge of setting up and working in somewhat of a raw space. But they handled it perfectly and without disruption and cleaned up everything when they were finished.

I only deducted one star because there was a miscommunication about the cake. The top tier was supposed to be boxed up for us, like they usually do with wedding cakes. But at the end of the night it was nowhere to be found. This was a bummer for me because I LOVE dessert and specifically I LOVED the cake we picked from Sweet Gems (that's in another review).

If I didn't live out of state, I would hire 24 Carrots again if I had another event.

I couldnt be more pleased with the quality of service. it was an amazing day and they had absolutely OUTSTANDING food and service.

24 Carrots is sooooooooooo yummy! I am getting soooo many compliments from all the guests about how great all the food was. The appetizers during cocktail were super delic- many of the guests told me they ate so much they weren't even hungry for dinner. 24 Carrots definitely takes pride in their commitment to excellence and it shows!

I would recommend working with 24 carrots. I only had one bad experience with them the night of my wedding- I felt like they handled a guest who had been drinking too much (best man) the wrong way. Instead of talking to the wedding coordinator about it, they just shut down the entire bar abruptly. I (the bride) had to find somebody to speak with to resolve the situation. I was upset about that.

Best catering company around. The food is amazing!

The food from 24 Carrots was amazing. People are still talking about it almost a year later. We were working with them during a time when they were transitioning coordinators so the communication was sometimes lacking, but everything turned out fine in the end. I would for sure recommend them to anyone.

24 Carrots rocks! They go above and beyond "traditional" wedding food! People are still talking about how outstanding all the food was. As the bride & groom, we had a server assigned to us for the night. Anything anyone needed, someone from the 24 Carrots staff was available. The highlight of the night was tray passed mini milk shakes & sweet potato fries while everyone was dancing!

Holy Cow! 24 Carrots' food is SO GOOD! On top of excellent food, their presentation is very impressive. The staff is polite and courteous, and every detail is given specific attention to. They are an all-around great company, and a joy to work with.

I had the absolute pleasure to work with Heather Smith at 24-Carrots catering, and I must say she was amazing! The couple I worked with could not stop raving about her assistance and creativity during the whole process. She helped with the design and layout of the room, and was very communicative the whole way.

24-Carrots Catering did such a fantastic job on the day of the wedding. Their professional staff was very organized, precise and warm to all of the guests. The food was delicious and it definitely kept the guests on edge for more.

Amazing food. Amazing people. An amazing event for the couple!

Natural Charms has worked with 24 Carrots over many years .... and can't speak highly enough of the fabulous and professional outcome! Working with them is always a treat!!!

Some of my Invitations clients have mentioned that they want an excuse to throw another party just so they can experience the fabulous food from 24 Carrots catering again! It's not just "me too" food but inspiring unique dishes.

It's hard to recommend another caterer with 24 Carrots in the field. They are above all other catering in the Southern California area! Their chefs are clean, fast and make delicious food. Their service staff is professional, courteous, efficient and does an amazing job at keeping the party looking incredible. The representatives will work with you on a menu that fits you and your guests needs and will recommend new trends to compliment your party. You will not be disappointed in hiring 24 Carrots!

Very professional and delicious food!

I have so appreciated my working relationship with 24 Carrots. Lynn is absolutely amazing as is the rest of the team. As an Event Planner, I pay close attention to the details - overall flow of an event, comfort of my couple and their family/friends, etc...the team at 24 Carrots is such a great support and helps to make my job just a little easier. And the food? Oh the food is amazing. Every now and then I find myself craving the petite lamb chops and apple cobbler martini. :)

I love when I find out 24 Carrots is working a wedding that we are! They have a great staff, fantastic food, and are very accommodating. I've done weddings with them at Franciscan Gardens, Casa Romantica, Rancho Las Lomas, and Maison des Oliviers.
