Craig's Extraordinary Events

Craig's was amazing! Great food and bar with a very reasonable price. Everyone we worked with there was incredibly flexible and always responded quickly to changes, questions and concerns. We really felt like they cared about our wedding and gave their all. I could not have been happier with their service. They even made up plates for us to take back to the hotel so we wouldn't go hungry! ; )

Craig’s was great! We only had one option for catering when we booked Rancho. The tasting was delicious, so we knew we were in good hands. The day of, the food looked marvelous, and the servers were top–notch. During the cocktail hour, my sister and I walked down to the bridal suite to put away some stuff and to have a couple moments of calmness, and 2 servers came down to provide us with hors d’oeuvres in a matter of minutes. No one had to get out of their seat for anything. People said they were the best servers they had ever seen, and that the food was soooo good.

Having never planned a wedding before, I wasn't sure what to expect from a caterer. My wedding location was contracted with this caterer, so I didn't have a choice, but I was so pleasantly surprised by the professionalism of the staff on the night of my wedding. The event leader had eagle eyes and kept tabs on everything going on during the event. I had so little decision making to do, everything ran smoothly and I could enjoy my night flawlessly. The food was excellent, and while it was a bit pricey, I think the food + service was worth it. I am considering using them for other events now that I know how great they are. I got so many compliments from my guests on the staff and the food. You know it's good when there are no leftovers at a buffet!

This caterer was mandatory for events on the weekend at my location (Rancho Las Lomas), so I really don't have anything to compare them to. However, without knowing what to expect for a wedding, I was so impressed by Craig's. I didn't have to worry about anything during the ceremony or reception. There had an attendant with snacks after the ceremony to make sure the wedding party had food to eat. They packed up the leftover food for 2 meals as well as cake for us to take home. The food was amazing! I was afraid with mass quantities of food (I had 150 guests), that things would taste bland, but we got lots of compliments on the beef and fish, and the pave potatoes. Even the salad was a hit. The coffee bar was espeically a favorite among our guests. The bartenders were attentive and friendly. One tip: we didn't have an open bar, but they don't charge the bride and groom for drinks even if you're clearly getting them for guests. So use that to your advantage. We extended our reception by an hour since the party was still jumping - I was able to extend our stay for a price, but it was well worth it. The lead staff was excellent and always kept me informed of what I needed to know, and kept everything else under control so I wouldn't have to worry about a single thing. Our night was amazing in large part due to the caterers. They aren't cheap, but I think they are worth it.

Food was really good. Lots of compliments on the service provided by the event staff. Nice that we could taste the food BEFORE booking as they are exclusive caterer for the venue we used (Long Beach Museum of Art). Doing rentals through them was pretty pricy so I sourced my own. The planner didn't seem too happy about it, but didn't hastle me too much about it.

Talk about great service for the bride and groom!! If you use Craig’s for your catering service, you will not be disappointed. We had no other choice but to work with Craig's since the museum does not work with outside catering vendors. Craig's is pricey but all about service. Their presentation of food was amazing and the food I heard was great and flavorful. I don't really remember what it tasted like that night. Guests claimed that it was delicious. What is so awesome about them is that the bride and groom have a personal waiter waiting on you from pre ceremony till the end of the night. They took the whole wedding party’s drink order before the ceremony started so that it would be waiting for us after the ceremony. Immediately after the ceremony, while we all met at the back, there they were! Two waiters with a round of drinks for all of us. They had a separate appetizer plate for us also because they knew we would be busy taking pictures. During the reception, the waiter always made sure we had everything we needed. At the end of the night, they packed up two dinners from the wedding, 2 slices of our wedding cake and a bottle of champagne for us to eat as a late night snack/meal. Great service. You can also pick colored linens, no extra charge and they look closely at the weather forecast for you.

They were great to work with and the food was AMAZING. We got many compliments at the reception about the great food. They were also very reasonably priced for the quality and time that they put in with me. I would definitely reccommend them!
