Wine Valley Catering

Expensive but worth every penny. The food is delicious and the service is amazing! My guests are still raving about the food saying it's the best they ever had. The staff at wine valley takes good care of your every need and executes flawlessly on your event day. Highly recommend wine valley.

This review is for the SF team and the Casa de la Vista venue on Treasure Island.While the food and service quality was high on the day of my wedding, I have serious doubts about recommending this catering company to anyone. Communicating with the staff throughout the year was extraordinarily difficult, due to extreme unresponsiveness, and from some individuals, coldness and thinly veiled irritation. In order to receive responses, I had to email the same question (noting table cloth, chairs, and menu selections, etc) to multiple parties about 4-5 times on average. Turn around time for a response was about 1.5 months. When I complained to the company owner, response time improved slightly, but allowed me to see how disorganized and inattentive WVC is until the absolute last minute, which for us was about a week before the wedding, when we finally received an updated contract totaling the event cost. For the months prior, the contract had been peppered with numerous errors, extraneous charges, etc., which stressed me out to no end (cf lack of responsiveness above). I understand that the wedding industry is a serious business--I don't think I even care about being made to feel "like a number," but at least be courteous and professional to your clients. If they point out a mistake on the contract or request a copy of a document, do not wait until the very last minute to change it or send it out, or claim never to have received an email request or phone message. Budgeting for a huge event is a serious time and financial investment, and I had to really be on my guard and pushy with these people in order to ensure my event ran smoothly, and that I didn't go over budget. PROs: The site's inherent pros are that it is a beautiful location (though windy), no sound requirements, and fairly private.

For those of you who think that food isn't important, I ask you to reconsider. Trust me, your guests will appreciate a delicious meal! And needless to say, Wine Valley Catering was hands down, the best! From the welcome bar, to the appetizers, to the starters, to the main course, and finally to the dessert bar, they presented top notch food the entire evening. Not only were the dishes beautifully presented, but staff was extremely professional and attentive. If you're looking for quality food and a fun and professionalism team, then go with Wine Valley Catering!

Everything was delicious and great but they could have been a little bit more attentive to the bride!

Food was very important to us and we are so happy that we went with Wine Valley. The food was incredible! We were blown away with our food and working with Wine Valley was a breeze. Lisa and Sheila were amazing to work with both in pre-planning and on the day of the event. It was great working with them and knowing that everything was handled and under control. We are already looking at throwing another party soon just so we can have Wine Valley cater!

My wife and I decided during our wedding "daydreaming" phase that the three most important things in our perfect wedding scenario would be the food, the wine, and the music. We wanted our guests to leave our wedding saying, "Wow! That was the best wedding food we've ever had!" Thanks to Wine Valley Catering, that's exactly what they said. Though working on a budget in wine country was anything but ideal, Debbe from WVC was a superstar! The presentation of everything from the welcome bar, to the buffet, to the dessert bar was exquisite. Debbe really listened to each and every detail we were concerned about and made sure our vision became a reality. The delicious buffet offered our guests a ton of variety and the food stayed warm until the last guest filled their plate...for a second time! The staff was friendly, extremely professional, and very attentive, especially to the family tables and my wife and me. Our water and wine glasses were never less than half full. WVC really makes you forget you're at a wedding and makes you feel like you're at an intimate dinner with great friends. If/when I'm rich and famous enough to throw catered birthdays for myself and 200 of my closest friends, I look forward to hiring WVC again :) Until then, I hope you'll keep them busy. WVC rocks!

Food was one of the top priorities on our list and Wine Valley Catering didn't disappoint. We had planned to meet with a few catering vendors, but once we had our tasting at WVC, we were sold. Not only was the food oustanding, but the presentation was fabulous, allowing us to "eat with our eyes" first. Lisa worked with us throughout the planning process and despite numerous back-and-forth emails (from me, mostly!), she was always pleasant to work with and made sure to incorporate all of my ideas/suggestions. On our wedding day, the reception ran so smoothly because of WVC. Our guests were all astounded by the quality and beauty of the food, as well as the level of service provided by on-site staff. Many, many thanks to Wine Valley Catering for making our wedding day memorable!

Wine Valley Catering did a fantastic job catering our wedding. We worked with Lisa Freathy to create a special menu from the Lemonade Welcome Bar to the late night Snacks/Beers, all of the food WVC provided was incredible. WVC pays attention to the details, has a superb staff from the chefs to the waiters and goes the extra mile to present an extra special presentation. I can't recommend them highly enough. We started the wedding with lavendar lemonade and ice tea, served in high ball glasses which we were expertly collected right before the ceremony. After the ceremony, my husband and I were greeted with an appetizer assortment on a silver tray just for us. Our guests were greeted with trays of wine and champagne and beer and passed appetizers - mini lamb burgers, smoked duck wraps, demi cups of bisque and stuffed figs. Heaven! Our dinner was expertly served: beet salad, filet topped with prawns atop a spinach mashed potato. Following the cake service and just before the last band song of the evening, WVC waiters took the dance floor with mini Coronas and trays of quesadillas - such a tasty and fun treat to an afternoon and evening of wonderful food. Make sure you ask for Lisa when you call!

I was a little uneasy when Sebastiani said that we could only use this cater, but after the planning and the wedding, I can see why. They were superb and wonderful to work with. We mainly worked with Lisa, at the Napa location and she was flexible, “catering” to us, and very responsive. (Steve is impossible to get a hold of, so we stuck with Lisa), They are flexible to work with, and not too pricey in terms of a Napa Valley caterer. They even found a old-school brass espresso machine to help tie in our “coffee” theme (we met at starbucks and I worked there for years!)We choose an Italian Wine Country buffet, to save $ and create a more social environment, and they created sucha beautiful layout. Their food is delicious and really helped create a first class event! (and we did get a goodie bag of leftovers to take to our hotel that night)

Wine Valley caterering did a great job the day of the wedding. Our tasting appointment was also great. Everything in between was less than expected. They were hard to reach at times, continued to change the cost, and forgot about changes we made. Luckily, I had a wedding planner who was not willing to go along with their constant cost increases. If you go with Wine Valley, know the food and service will be great, but watch the ever-changing budget.

Just a wonderful and tasty experience. This was the first caterer we've tried and we didn't have to look anywhere else! Really impressive service and food! Simply fabulous!

I really love WVCs food and presentation. Up until the time I booked I really liked the service. After that the response time and service dropped off a bit. I think it is just another case of a company that is stretched to thin.

One the day of the wedding for the most part I was really pleased with their work. A few things worth mentioning
1. They ran out of rum for the mojitos within the first hour of the cocktail hour (this was one of our specialty drinks being passed) and it was not restocked until almost an hour later. They ran out again a couple hours later and never restocked.

2. They never served wine at my parents table

3. I had asked them to hold one of each hors d oeuvres aside for Rory and myself so we could have them after taking pictures. They told me this wasnt necessary because we would have a waiter assigned specifically to us that would make sure we had everything we needed all night. I never met this waiter and I only got to try 1 of the hors d oeuvres because they were out of everything else by the time we got to cocktail hour.

4. They had told us that they would put a goodie bag in our room so that we could have some things to eat at the end of the night. I thought at the time they told me this that this was such a nice touch. It never materialized. That all said that was the worst of it and it in no way impacted any part of the wedding for me. I think overall they did a really good job just a few things fell through the cracks.

Wine Valley Catering provided all the event rentals, service staff and food for my wedding last year. From the moment I arrived for the tasting I knew they would provide excellent service and they didn't dissappoint. Steve and Lisa were amazing - Lisa was calling me up until the day before making sure everything was in order and there was nothing else we needed. The day went off perfectly - everything was exactly as planned and the staff was professional and organized. Having a perfect wedding day is a tall order and Wine Valley Catering helped make it possible.

The food was something I would eat in a 5 star restaurant. Every single one of the guests told me that the food was awesome. I can't wait to do business with WVC again.

We highly recommend Wine Valley Catering to every client that we meet! Their service is incredible, food is delicious, and we have found the staff to be so helpful, accommodating, and welcoming to those seeking their services.
