Martino's Catering & Wedding Management San Diego

Using Shellie with Martino’s Catering was one of the smartest decisions I made about my entire wedding. I wasn’t sure what exactly I wanted but she very patient, creative and accommodating with my very vague ideas. In addition to not knowing what I wanted, it was even more of a nerve-wracking experience because I was all the way out in Washington, D.C. while trying to plan a gorgeous San Diego beach wedding. However, it really eased my mind that Shellie was always very accessible to my sister who did most of the coordinating for me from San Diego; she was always available to meet with my sister or to talk to her over the phone.
I was convinced that we should use Shellie immediately after enjoying a magnificent tasting where my mother and I tasted a wide range of very flavorful dishes. Though it was hard to pick only a few, she was very helpful in explaining what sorts of appetizers, salads, main dishes and desserts would all go together. Everyone loved the food and desserts at the wedding and the servers were very pleasant and all-around great.
Also, after changing our mind about the florist we had initially chosen, Shellie stepped right in and was able to coordinate the flowers we used for the ceremony and reception too without much notice. She really understood the whole beach theme I was going for and really helped me specifically tailor the bridesmaid bouquets, table centerpieces, buffet table décor and many other gorgeous touches. Shellie really served as a great as a pseudo-wedding coordinator as she worked very well with my sister and the DJ to get the timeline and other logistics down just right.
When an unexpected storm made my outdoor beach wedding impossible, Shellie stepped in and helped my sister find an unbelievably great alternate indoor location (also by the water) that worked out perfectly without spending much more money! She knew that I was saddened by the last minute change and took it upon herself to add the “beachy” garnishes that were now appropriate for inside: seashells and sand in the bottom of the centerpieces, seashells and sand (brown sugar) sprinkled around the cake, and other tropical plumerias created a beautiful archway.
I would highly recommend Shellie with Martino’s Catering because she was a large part of the reason why my wedding day turned out perfectly!
