When looking for a caterer for our wedding, we really didn't know where to turn. Our coordinator recommended ArtQuest and we are so relieved that they did! Kathy and Victor made us feel welcome and expertly guided us. When we had an idea for a pick your own adventure of food they were quick to suggest stations with a variety that satisfied all our guests. Everyone had great things to say about the flatbreads and pasta dishes. The place settings and catering team was professional and efficient. We'd recommend ArtQuest to anyone!

We're glad we went with Artquest for our catering & rentals!
We came across Artquest because they were on the preferred vendor list for our wedding venue, Julep. Working with them was easy, & it felt personal. Any change, addition, or request we had, was simple, no problem. Kathy is very organized in the process & quick to make changes on your invoices if you need to make changes. Our guests said the food was good too so thats good! We like that theyre an all-in-one vendor: they do food catering, rentals (chairs/linens/tables/etc), cake, florals, lighting, linens, etc.

My daughter and her fiancé were married in San Diego on June 11, 2021. Planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic wasn't easy, but from the moment we met Kathy and Victor, to our first tasting, and the amazing result offered on the evening of the wedding, make Artquest a MUST for any bride and groom seeking the most delicious food for their guests, incredible personalized service, great value, professionalism, and just wonderful people to work withl! I HIGHLY recommend Artquest. If you are looking for a caterer for your wedding, or any event, don't look any further. This should be

Victor and Kathy went above and beyond for our wedding. They responded fast to all of our email inquires and they were able to transform our vision to a reality. Thanks to Victor and Kathy's guidance, we were able to find great vendors through their recommendations (they know a lot of people in the wedding industry).
The food was amazing and our guests loved the open bar set up. The transition from cocktail hour to dinner was very smooth and the waiters were very professional. Also, Victor and Kathy was able to give my wife the two entree option on one dish. We reccomend Victor and Kathy if you

Victor and Kathy with ArtQuest Catering are absolutely amazing and a huge highlight of my wedding! From our very first email, they were so kind, professional, and responsive to our every request. When we met with them in person, we were blown away by how lovely they are - they immediately connected with us on a personal level and made us feel like family! They worked with us to create a unique menu based on our favorite foods and within the restrictions of a mostly-vegetarIan kosher style diet.
The food itself was absolutely delicious. We had 3 stations - mac and cheese, flatbreads, and Mediterranean

If you are looking for a Catering Company, ArtQuest should be where you end your search! We planned a 125 person Wedding and we vetted several companies before making our choice. Our number one Priority was price. ArtQuest was very competitive in the "affordable" category. As we took a deeper dive in the menu and rentals we were very impressed, they were our one-stop-shop for everything! What really made us sign on the dotted line was Victor & Kathy.
Each time we met with them or interacted with them via phone or email we felt calm and assured. They have a special magic that makes

TLDR; We are so grateful we found Kathy and Victor (ArtQuest Catering) for our wedding. The food and selections were wonderful, and beyond that they were incredibly kind, organized, and helped our day run so smoothly. They really are the best!
Food - Kathy and Victor have so many food option to choose from and were very accommodating of our preferences and budget. Their prices are very reasonable, and the food is really very delicious. All of our guests LOVED the food and were so happy with the presentation and taste. Kathy and Victor prepared much of the food onsite, so it tasted very fresh

Victor and Kathy are THE BEST. We hired them to cater our wedding on a recommendation from our wedding planner and we were not disappointed! From the moment we walked into their shop we felt welcomed as family. They were so friendly and enthusiastic, full of great suggestions. Their prices are also very reasonable (the lowest quote we got, actually) and they don't try to nickel-and-dime you on every little thing like some other wedding vendors.
For our wedding, we did tray-passed appetizers and then a taco station as the main course. The taco station included freshly-made, hand-pressed

Kathy & Victor will not disappoint! Meeting with Kathy and Victor the first time, they made us feel so comfortable. I love that Victor and Kathy are so involved with their clients. I wanted to try a couple more appetizers and they found a way to do that. I have received so many compliments saying the food was amazing at our wedding. The bacon scallops were a hit and my favorite. Just thinking of them makes me want our appetizer plate all over again. Cant wait to use them again. Food is amazing! Thank you again!! The Handys

There are not enough stars here to express how much we loved working with ArtQuest. Kathy and Victor were so sweet understanding patient and just a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. They were very accommodating to our various dietary requests / restrictions and preferences. They came up with a menu that was creative and reflected the culture of the country where the bride and groom met. The food was absolutely delicious, beyond everyone's expectations. The compliments were flowing all through the evening of the wedding and into the following week. And our guests do not impress easily

When our son became engaged in February, one of the first things we wanted to accomplish was finding a caterer. We did our research, made calls, read reviews, compared prices and menus, and finally decided to meet with Kathy & Victor of Artquest. And boy, we are so glad we did!! They are amazing! From the very first meeting, it was clear to us they were knowledgeable, professional and passionate. They answered all our questions, gave us great recommendations (including our wonderfulday-of coordinator, Ashley), helped us pick out a menu to fit our needs, were flexible with our requests, and

Let me start this review by saying Victor and Kathy are two of the nicest, most enjoyable people we have met with all of our wedding planning experiences. From the beginning when we went to their storefront for a tasting, it felt like we had known them for forever, and they just were so warm and kind. Now on to the actual food and service. 5 stars, impeccable. We had steak with au jus and horseradish, chicken with champagne sauce, a lovely green salad, potatoes, roasted vegetables, fresh bread. It is hard to pick what was the most delicious because seriously every single component was mouth watering

When we were seeking out caterers for our wedding we asked a lot of questions of potential clients, but one question was more important than the rest: can you do lechón? We wanted the whole roast pig, no compromises. Most places, shockingly, did not offer this service. Victor & Kathy, however, didn't bat an eye. Absolutely, they said. In fact, they worked with us to construct a menu for a whole Filipino feast, complete with pancit and halo-halo for desert.
Now, Victor was up front with us that it was not his first lechón, it would be their first time catering Filipino. As such, they

Kathy and Victor are the best! They treated us like family from beginning to end and were always so kind and genuine. We felt comfortable from the first meeting and were overly confident that we would use their services before even trying the food.
Once we tried the food it was a no brainer! Everything they fed us at the tasting was amazing that it made it hard to select what we would narrow things down to.
Once our wedding day came, the food was even better. The tri tip from the carving station was some of the best that I ever had. The appetizers, specifically the beef empanadas were

My experience with ArtQuest catering for my wedding was wonderful! From the first meeting, Kathy & Victor sat down with my mom and I and treated us like family. They spent time going over all the different menus and options available and helped us create a menu that was delicious and within our budget.

ArtQuest catering provided the food for our wedding reception at the Coronado Community Center. Kathy & Victor are very responsive and personal throughout the process. They even provided tips to save money, room set-up recommendations and other helpful ideas along the way. The food was good quality and reasonably priced. We went with a buffet style meal and had a carving station. Our guests commented that their favorite appetizer was the lobster empanadas as well as the shrimp & snow pea.

Kathy and Victor are amazing! Everytime we met with them we felt like family. Unlike other vendors we met with, we told them what kind of feel and style of food stations we wanted and they hit it perfectly! We didn't have to widdle and cut ingredients to fit our budget. They simply just got us. We got married about 5 months ago, and we still have relatives and friends telling us they loved Art Quest's food stations and that their setup was so much better and different than any other weddings they've been to.

It pains me to give Kathy and Victor a semi bad review but overall I was not completely satisfied...
First the good: From the first time we met Kathy and Victor we loved them!!!! Their energy and enthusiasm was great! They were a little out of our price range but they assured us everything was well worth it. So we went ahead and signed the contract. The whole planning process, meetings, and how well they kept in touch was awesome! I have no complaints there. Kathy was amazing. Then, the day of the wedding came and this is where I was disappointed.
