Sonoma County was our vacation escape. We were drawn to the area by the abundance of artisan food and wine sourced from there, paired with the majestic beauty of the rolling hills, vineyards and coastline. Firefly Catering began in the Oakland Hills in 2003 providing catering services for social and corporate clients in the East Bay and San Francisco.

Firefly just catered our wedding and the food and service were all phenomenal. Especially grateful to Marina, who worked with us and was more on top of things than our planner - I regret not going through Firefly to handle our rentals etc as well. Marina was meticulous and helpful and went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was actually perfect.
The food itself was fantastic. Like many reviewers here note, I had several guests tell me the food was the best wedding food they'd had. There was great attention to detail. We had two passed apps, the bacon gougeres and the saffron risotto

If you're considering Firefly Catering for your wedding, do it! I cannot say enough good things about them.
My catering manager was Marina and she was an absolute doll and really stuck her neck out for me on more than one occasion to ensure I had the absolute best day ever (which I did!) She is a true industry pro and I knew I was in good hands with her throughout the entire process - she is honest and straightforward and you really need that when you're planning a wedding.
I also had the pleasure of getting to know the owner Shona and her husband who are also absolutely lovely people

My wife and I were ready to spend way too much money on OK food just because we needed to serve something at our wedding. Our last scheduled tasting was with Firefly and we were not expecting much after all the other tastings we attended. Then we ate the food. SO GOOD!
Spring was excellent to work with and we've never heard so many compliments for a catered meal before. Would book again, and have recommended to others already. Check them out!

Spring and Shona are the best! We had our wedding at the Valley Ford Hotel and things couldn't have gone more perfectly.
We worked with Spring over the course of a year for planning and she was always super kind, helpful, and supportive of our ideas and wishes. I didn't hire a planner, but Spring walked me through all of the decisions and made it easy. (Especially for since I've never planned a large event, let alone a wedding before).
We stayed two nights at the VFH and had a fairly large (35 person) rehearsal dinner and a last minute 20 person brunch there on Sunday. In addition

I'm shocked this catering company only has 10 reviews. They catered my sisters wedding at Bloomfield farms and it blew all wedding food out of the water. Every single dish was amazing. The brisket was so buttery and delicious. The butternut squash with pesto was so warm and fresh. Just a true farm to table feel. All the appetizers for the cocktail hour were the perfect size and taste. Wrapped dates. Peaches and goat cheese. Ceviche toasts. YUM. Lastly. The peach and berry cobblers. I can't. Just amazing. Every person told me that it was the best wedding food.

Firefly Catering did the food for both our wedding at Bloomfield Farms and the morning after brunch at Valley Ford Hotel. We were completely outdone by how amazing the food was. We had salmon with fresh tomatoes, fresh squash ravioli with pesto, a scrumptious salad, brisket with a green chimichurri sauce, The team was amazing - Shona ran the show and gave us hugs all along the way. The food was locally sourced and fresh. We tasted the food 8 months in advance and the food was just as delicious from the day we did the tasting to the day of the event. They were accommodating for food allergies, children

Hiring Firefly Catering was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. From the first conversation, it was clear that they wanted to get a sense for what was important to me, and executed flawlessly. Our food was delicious - a month later people are still telling us it was the best food they've had at a wedding. Everything was seasonal and local. We also requested gluten free (my husband has celiac's disease) and minimal dairy - so when you're guests don't miss gluten you know the caterer was incredible. And when the food came out, we had it served family style, there

Firefly catered my wedding for ~85 guests in July at Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena. I could not have been more thrilled with having Spring and her team help make my wedding so special. Literally, everyone that I spoke with about the food said they never had better food at a wedding (win!).
The Firefly team was on point during the event and Spring was an amazing person to work with in crafting the perfect menu to coordinating all of the little details leading up with the wedding and ensuring a smooth service. I can't thank her enough for her patience and guidance in the planning process

Firefly Catering provided food and beverage for my wedding at Chileno Valley Ranch. Spring was an absolute pleasure to work with and made the whole process so easy. She coordinated all of the rentals that we needed and accommodated all of our strange requests (providing our own table runners and napkins; making our own desserts, but having the catering staff serve them; providing special meals to individuals with dietary restrictions even though we opted for family style service; etc.).
It's not easy to make delicious food when you're serving 100+ people in a ranch barn, but Firefly

Firefly was amazing. We had them cater a hog roast BBQ for a 50th birthday party for 100 guests in Healdsburg and they did an amazing job. The chef Brandon, the planner Spring, and the entire staff were as good as it gets. We can't thank them enough for making our event so memorable. They were just flat out great.

We used Firefly to cater our wedding at Redwood Hill Gardens in Sebastopol. They did a great job and we were really happy with the outcome of the wedding meal (served 85 people in family-style). The tasting went well (the restaurant is worth checking out, cool place) and the food was very consistent with what we had expected. My wife and some guests had some dietary requests around gluten & dairy, and they did a great job of working a menu around that with ample options for them and still having plenty of the good stuff for those guests that eat it all. Communicated really well in advance

I can't say enough about this place...
Spring is amazing and wonderful to work with.
We had Firefly cater my daughter's wedding, our guest can't stop talking about how delicious the food was.
The food was presented beautifully. The chef is the best, he came out and introduced himself to my daughter and son in law during their tasting. The staff is friendly and work hard.
The day after the wedding we went to the restaurant for brunch and the chef came out to see how the bride and groom were doing.
If you are looking for a caterer this is the place you want for your next event!!

Firefly Catering did a stunning job for our wedding, which we held onsite at the Valley Ford Hotel. We wanted our guests to enjoy fantastic fresh California food - and they're still raving about it! Everything was local and delicious, from the boozy snow cones they made for before the ceremony (made with local SpiritWorks Distillery sloe gin) to the oysters, deviled eggs, padron peppers, and grilled cheeses during cocktail hour. We put together a custom buffet for dinner that blew everyone away, from meatlovers to vegans. We can't recommend Firefly enough.
