One of the most popular seasons for weddings is the spring. That makes a lot of sense. It's a great time of year for beautiful floral arrangements and delicious seasonal meals. The coldest months are behind you, and you have the ideal weather for the first half a year of your marriage. If you are planning a corporate team building day, don't forget to think about your meals.
Nothing brings a team together like breaking bread. You also can't work together as a team if everyone is hangry (hungry + angry) because they were running late and skipped breakfast. The DJ, photographer, caterer, and other vendors at your wedding will play a big role in how smoothly the event goes and how memorable your special day is.

We hired Caterman Catering for our wedding almost three years ago and it was delicious! The service was fantastic as well. Communication is speedy and so thorough. Easy to review the menu, pay online, etc. We ordered from them again this week for our family's Thanksgiving meal. Amazing again! We are still eating leftovers and they are SO good!! Thank you, Caterman Catering!!

We had a great experience with Caterman for our wedding, from the delicious tasting (with lots to take home) to the incredible responsiveness for even last minute changes to the guest count. Caterman and Carmen even went out of their way to help us get additional supplies from their contacts such as a PA speaker system!
The sea bass and shrimp skewers were particularly tasty!

The food is FANTASTIC and the service is absolutely impeccable! They are so professional and take care of every detail. I honestly feel like my review can't do them proper justice. I will be referring them to EVERYONE I know and using them for every party or event we have. You'll be wasting our hard earned money if you spend it anywhere else. If I could give them 10 stars I would!

We chose Caterman Catering for our wedding and lemme just say that working with them was so easy and they're all so professional and so coordinated! Kayla was so nice and so accommodating and completely hands on especially on our big day. She knows what she's talking about and she didn't disappoint. Everyone knows and could relate on how stressful it is to plan a wedding and to think that we planned our wedding in a little less than 3 months but still had such an amazing experience, we just cannot ask for more.

Caterman catering was God-sent! I had a Halloween birthday party for my daughter. It was a somewhat large party, more than 50 people came. Caterman catering made my job very easy. Since this was my first time, I did not know what to expect. I was pretty nervous, as I am a perfectionist. But everything turned out better than I expected. The food was delicious, they set my table up very presentably, and they were very caring and gentle. They helped me with the details I did not think of. Now having big parties is not intimidating for me! Thanks Caterman, I am looking forward to working with

This company never seems prepared for our crew. The food is pretty inconsistent in quality and selection. There is always a vegetarian option but there are not always vegetables. This is my experience of about two months not just a few days. As a diabetic, I would appreciate better nutritional value and the salad that is always available does not have enough nutritional value. This morning, the whole crew was on a less than eight hour turn around and they ran out of half and half for our coffee five minutes before our start time.

Missed meetings, failed follow ups, constant apologies for issues along the way getting a quote.
But the worst is after confirming the date was available, reviewing details of the order Kayla for almost an hour, I followed up no less than three times over the course of a week to get the rental finalized. I finally got an email stating:

Kayla is such a sweet lady and a great pleasure to work with. We feel so lucky for choosing caterman catering as our wedding caterer. From the very beginning, they offered us a complimentary tasting, which was absolutely delicious, and showed their sincerity to their potential customer. Kayla made the following preparation process easy and transparent. She was very flexible for random meetings that we requested and can always give us good advice on things that we were not sure of. On the wedding day, the whole caterer team was very effective in setting up, and also cleaning up. The food was very

Let me start off by saying that Kayla was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was always very professional, responded quickly, and was flexible with all of our questions and requests. There is a lot of planning and detail needed for a wedding, and Kayla was always great about using her experience in offering us guidance and suggestions. We had a lot of late requests, like cutting out rentals to try to cut some costs here and there, along with adding a bunch of things like renting and setting up a beautiful white dance floor, adding heaters last minute, getting alcohol delivered to their office

I hired caterman catering for my husbands surprise birthday party this past weekend. I had a wonderful experience with them, starting with Kayla. She was wonderful to work with extremely helpful with my decision making, seeing as I hadn't catered an event of this size before.
Our theme was Mardi Gras and the food was AMAZING!!.
Blanca and her staff were phenomenal, her attention to detail with the table decoration set up and presentation of the food truly wonderful. I was able to enjoy the party and not worry about anything, can't thank them enough.

Amazing service and delicious food! This is a family-owned business and they work hard to meet your needs. The menu items are priced very well and you can customize your selections. Kayla (event coordinator) was very friendly & helpful. The chef was so nice and took pride in his work. We'll definitely use them for all of our events in the future.

My wife and I spent hours of researching, reading reviews, and talking to different vendors hoping to find that one catering company that has great food and service for our wedding. We decided to go with Catering Caterman. They have the perfect blend of Asian Fusion food that both myself and my wife had enjoyed at the food tasting and at the event. Their prices were reasonable. Michelle was the sale/event coordinator at the time and she was quite wonderful to work with. She was very responsive and was able to meet every demands that we made. She helped us fit the food menu to our budget.

This is the one review I've been dying to review since the conclusion of our wonder day and it couldn't have happened without Caterman. From the very beginning, Caterman has been so accommodating and professional with their services. Not only that, we really couldn't have pulled it off without the help of their coordinator, Kayla, who also provided day of coordination services.

My husband and I worked with Ruth at Caterman Catering and were so pleased with their work at our April wedding. We planned our Palo Alto (California) wedding from abroad and Ruth was very accommodating and easy to correspond with.
The food at our wedding was so delicious and they also helped plate the desserts and wedding cake that our friends made. The staff that worked at the wedding was also extremely friendly and professional. I was very impressed with their work!
I definitely recommend Caterman Catering and Ruth!

The owner and I came to a mutual resolution out of court in regards to our event. We will never get the day back nor can this ever be truly rectified. Semuh provided us the remainder of our refund in exchange for deleting my husband's review and for me to update mine with a resolution. This agreement saved us both a trip to the court house. They've apologized, and we've chosen to move on, but I will never understand how this happened or in good conscience recommend Caterman's to anyone, especially since the same people who screwed up so royally are still employed there...

I had countless people tell me that the food at the wedding tasting will not be as good as the wedding day. I'm thankful to say that was not the case with Caterman Catering!
