Culinary Concepts worked with us to create a special menu that went with our modern Mexican fiesta theme. We had 3 different appetizers for cocktail hour, a plated first salad course, which was good, and 3 food stations of braised short ribs, chicken mole, and street tacos. All our guests were raving about the food, and many said that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Also, the service was impeccable, and everything just turned out well beyond our expectations. Without a doubt, we would highly recommend Culinary Concepts!

Amazing!! Our guests kept raving about the food all night and even after the wedding. We were told that this was the best wedding meal they ever had. Culinary was very accommodating and followed through.

Culinary Concepts was fabulous. The food was amazing and they were very flexible in working with us. We had some issues with the preferred vendor list at our wedding venue and Culinary Concepts worked with us until the very end to make sure we had the perfect wedding.

I love this company! Fabulous from the Proposal to the Reception. When they said Yes...they followed through. Gina was fantastic. We did not have to worry about a thing. They took care of the rentals, linens, coordination with other Vendors. The onsite Staff was courteous, professional, and very flexible. The food at the reception was every bit as amazing as it was during our tasting. They definitely exceeded our Expectations. I Recommend this company hands down!!!!

They were very flexible because they said yes to everything and then did not follow through. We paid an extreme amount and they ran out of food. They also go the food wrong for the bride. They also threw away the decorations that we had paid for and they did not box up our wedding cake to go as they said they would. They also left early even though we paid extra for event coordination. DO NOT USE THEM! We found their paperwork in our bin of wedding supplies and found that they did not provide us with the number of servers we paid for. They also changed the lines and charged us three times what they had quoted us due to the change.

Vendor recommendation from Elite British DJ

There are several catering companies in San Diego that do not deliver on what they promise. Culinary Concepts are one of a handful of caterers we have worked with that have been flawless every time. Food is amazing, and service is excellent. I thoroughly recommend them!!
