White House Catering

Wow - we received so many compliments from our guests about both the quality and presentation of the food at our reception from the appetizers, salad, and main course, along with the top notch service. Amine was very helpful and easy to work with. We had a great tasting at the White House restaurant to help us choose which appetizers and entrees to select. During the reception and dinner, we had a waitstaff member dedicated to us to make sure we were hydrated, well fed and taken care of. The chef even came out during the dinner to visit our table to make sure everything was made to our satisfaction.

We were married at the Nixon Library last month and White House was our caterer. The entire staff is very professional but above all the food is amazing and the food presentation! People to this day still rave about the food especially the salad that by the way comes in a rice flower type bowl. The entire staff was friendly. The thing that impressed me the most was that we had our very own server who made sure we had food and drinks the entire night. Had it not been for the sweet gal, Im sure we would not of even tried our own appetizers! We dealt with Amine throughout the process and he is just so nice and very helpful! He was really the ultimate factor in choosing White House because he is just very attentive:) If you choose White House, you will have a great food and beautiful settings!

Amine and Ana from the White House Catering Staff are the best. We were married at the Nixon Library, so we had 4 caterers to choose from. We met with the others, but felt so confident with the WH we had to choose them. The presentation was so beautiful, and everyone was commenting on the bride and groom italian tortilla decoration that was on everyone's plates. Before my wedding I had only heard about the White House, but now my fiance and I plan to add it to our favorite restaurants. Thank you everyone at White House for great food and service!

White House catering is amazing. The food is great and so is the staff. My husband was unable to make it to the first tasting, so they let us do another one. They will work with you to stay within your budget. Our guests were very impressed.

If I had reviewed White House Catering during the beginning of the process, they would have all 5 stars in all categories. The service was impeccable, responsive, professional, impressive.If I had to review White House Catering during the week before the wedding, I would've given a 2.5 for ability to follow through on the contract, professionalism, and flexibility. I'm not sure if it was a miscommunication but we were allowed a 10% downward fluctuation on the original contract and when the final count came in we had just made that minimum number. When the final invoice came, the balance hadn't been adjusted. I had made a requested a few weeks before that if we didn't make the minimum if we could move the monetary equivalent of the difference on the committed amount to the bar amount. When the final invoice came, they billed us for the minimum, moved the 10% to the bar tab, and still billed us the original amount. It took a few calls to get it all straightened out and in the process, I felt a few comments were made that were slightly condescending and added stress to the process. To top it off, they requested we pay by check because they didn't want lose the 2-4% to the credit companies. I felt that was a ridiculous request since the final bill was over 10k!Now that the wedding is over and I'm reviewing them, I'm giving them an overall rating of 4.5. The service is very impressive on the day of. They provide an army of servers so your guests aren't waiting long for their drinks, food, or hor devours. I got so many compliments about the bar, the food, and the service that it made any issues I experienced during the last week seem less of problem. We chose the brie and berries canapes, beef wellington, tuna tartare, caprese ala queen, bruschetta as our hor devours. We picked the chicken/fish duel plate as the entree. We got rave reviews about everything. The chicken was tender and juicy, but the fish stole the show. Everyone loved it.Looking back, I don't regret going with them. In fact, I feel I got a great value from them, minus the issue with invoicing during the most stressful time of the wedding planning process. I would advise other couples who use them, to get everything in writing (don't expect you or the vendor will remember something discussed months prior) especially since their contract is vague in their definitions of of what is considered a minimum number. Seeing how impressed my guests were with the food and service, which in my book is what counts, is what gave them almost 5 stars.

White House is amazing! The level of professionalism is beyond brilliiant and all my guests were so impressed. The food and presentation was impecable! Best decision ever!

Absolutely amazing food!! The presentation was beautiful, the tastes delectable, and the service outstanding. As the bride and groom, we had a personal attendant throughout the entire process. Not a moment passed where we could not get water, champagne, appetizers etc. One cannot say enough about how incredible the food was... salads looked and tasted incredible, the main course was ridiculously delicious! They are very professional and accommodating for various tastes. They work hard to make sure it's exactly as you want it!!Brides note: I have to add that Amine was so wonderful to work with! He was very responsive and so professional and polite. His patience and kindness with my million questions was greatly appreciated! Also, on top of the comments above, we had a server following us around while we had pictures taken during our cocktail hour. So Amazing! We had a tray of hour d' ouvres just for us, and if I ever set my half full glass of champagne down it was immediately refilled. So many couples say that they didn't get a chance to eat on their wedding day, but we certainly got our share of food and were taken care of like royalty!

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding, and White House Catering provided our guests with the most delicious and beautifully presented food. When i say beautiful, i mean each salad in an edible rice paper bowl topped with an orchid. They have the wow factor. My husband and I had a black tie wedding, and i knew living up to the "fancy" factor would not be a problem for White House! Amine, the catering director, and personal contact throughout the entire process, was nothing but wonderful. He, or his assistant Anna, (who is equally wonderful) returned every phone call promptly and answered every question we had. If you don't want to be stressed out or worried about your wedding cocktail party/dinner, White House Catering will make it perfect for you!!

I don't know how to thank you enough for helping make Shelly and Tyler’s wedding a day they will never forget. The evening was perfect. We knew when we contracted the White House to cater our affair that it would be grand, but never in our wildest dreams did we imagine how Grand it would be. Everything was truly magnificent. From start to finish, you and your entire staff were absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious and the presentation, WOW! The service was impeccable. Someone was always a step behind us, catering to our every need. There were times when you knew what we needed even before we did. There wasn't a moment the entire evening that we did not feel like royalty. You and your staff are obviously all truly professionals in this business. Please extend our heart felt thanks to everyone who worked that evening. We will never forget this day. Our phone has been ringing continuously with compliments to you and your staff. We will definitely be recommending you to anyone and everyone who needs a caterer.
Thank you so much for helping make our daughters wedding day, "An Affair to Remember".

Sincerely,
Sharon and Dave

Thank you and your amazing staff for an exceptional wedding evening. AWHC really exceeded our expectations. Our quests complimented the food AND your professional staff. Fun was had by all. We admitted to each other that our decision to select AWHC for our wedding was without question thee best decision we could have made. We look forward to providing you with future business, either from ourselves or through referrals.

Thanks again,
Soo and Michael

Dear Amine,

Thank you so much for everything you did to make our wedding the best day of our lives.

So many of our guests told us that the food was fabulous and the presentation was absolutely magical, and there were several of them who commented that they had never before seen anything like it; some even took pictures of each course they were served before eating it. The two of us were running around all day, but we could not help but slow down for a few minutes and enjoy the wonderful meal.

The service that your catering staff provided was out of this world. Every time a member of the wedding party or one of the other guests needed something, there was always a staff member just an arm's length away to help.

As a matter of fact, when Jen's dad approached the band stage to make his toast, he realized that he had forgotten his champagne class, only to see you with a smile on your face standing right behind him with another glass in hand.

Thank you again to you and all your staff for doing your part in making the day so special and so memorable for so many people, especially the two of us.

There is no doubt we have found the best caterer in all of Southern California.

We hope you will be able to be there too when we visit the restaurant to celebrate our first anniversary and several other special occasions in the future.

Love always,

Jennifer and Nicholas

You guys are the BEST!!! Thank you so much for catering my wedding! You were the main part of our wedding and you did an amazing job. All of our guests couldn't stop telling us how good the food was and how nicely and organized everything ran. Ashley, I couldn't have done it without you. You helped me so much and I appreciate all you did, really you are amazing. The butterflies were beautiful too! I couldn't believe my eyes when my plate was handed to me; everything was great.

Thank you again so much for your wonderful service, amazing staff and for making my wedding day a memorable one!

Dear Amine,

My wife and I want to thank you for the wonderful catering job the Anaheim White House performed at our wedding on July 15, 2005 at the Richard Nixon Library.

We received numerous comments from our guests about the excellent cuisine, presentation and the overall orchestration by you and your staff. Our reception had just the style and atmosphere we wanted and we were so happy to see all of our guests enjoying themselves, in large part because of the fine food and service by your staff. Please extend our sincerest thanks to them.

In particular, we would also like to thank you personally for your help and guidance through the process, from when we initially inquired about catering services and up through our wedding reception. Both Melissa and I found you to be an enthusiastic and resourceful professional and we felt like you really went the extra mile to make our reception as memorable as possible. We invite you to list us as a reference. We will have nothing by good things to say!

Sincerely,

David & Melissa

Dear Amine,

I just wanted to thank you for my wedding. We had a great time, the food was so good, and the service was beyond great. I truly appreciate everything you did to make my wedding day an amazing experience to us. The whole event ran so smooth, and everywhere you turned, there was great food, wine and friendly and helpful staff. It was truly a joy to work with you from start to finish and all the guests commented on how smoothly everything ran, how wonderful the food was and how great the service was. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to have The White House cater my wedding. I can't thank you enough. Everything was so great...and I did not have to worry about a thing! Hands down the best event I have ever attended, and we fell so lucky that was our wedding.

Thanks again

Carrie

Amine,

We really cannot say enough good things about you and your staff. Our service was perfect, the food was perfect, and everyone serving our guests were accomodating and professional. The server at the head table always made sure that anyone in the Bridal Party had everything that they needed. Since the wedding, we have heard many of our guests raving about the service and the quality of the food. We would recommend you to any of our friends getting married in a heart beat. The bartender asked me if I wanted something to drink before our introduction; I didn't even have to ask him. That kind of service is very difficult to come by. Again, we can't thank you enough, and your staff, for helping to give us a wonderful reception

Joe & Deanna
