Jeff and his team provided us a wonderful backyard post-wedding brunch! Really couldn’t have asked for a better and more friendly and professional crew. You could see their smiles even through their masks. Waffles and French toast wafting through the air, the food spread was fantastic, and Bloody Mary’s were on point! Post-wedding morning to remember. Thanks for helping to make memories worthwhile!

I booked Sunny's at the last minute to cater a Saturday dinner for 20 to celebrate my daughter's college graduation. They were really easy to work with, their price was fair, and everyone raved about the food! FYI, my daughter is traveling to Greece so I wanted a Mediterranean menu and they were super accommodating. Except for a chicken entree, all the dishes were vegetarian. I hope I need catering again soon because I liked working with them so much!

We held a 10 year anniversary party/vow renewal at the MAH in Santa Cruz, and Josh at Sunny's helped us work out all of the details. He and his crew were SO easy to work with, it made the catering a no-brainer. Food was fresh, yummy and easy. Staff were friendly and attentive. Josh was responsive and accommodating. What else do you need?

Absolutely wonderful! Joshua and Jeff recently catered my husband's birthday celebration at our house. They did a fantastic job for us, from beginning to end. Joshua worked with us to create a menu, which we sampled beforehand, at a private tasting at their kitchen in downtown Santa Cruz. Jeff prepared the food for us and led the catering team on the day of the party. Food was in a word...scrumptious. Team was friendly, efficient, and attentive while being unobtrusive. This is the company to hire if you want a catering service that provides fabulous food and terrific service.

Only positive things to say about this catering company! The Theta Xi chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta chose to have our Founder's Day brunch catered by Sunny's Catering & we were not disappointed! The food was delicious, so much so that a lot of our ladies took leftovers home. Jeff and Joshua were both very attentive, refilling the food trays as some foods became scarce and didn't miss a single detail. We loved working with them and we are looking forward to working with them again in the future!

Fantastic ! Fantastic ! Fantastic. I just attended a three day event that was catered by this company and the food was hot, abundant and served immediately. They really go out of their way to make a great tasting meal. Each day had a variety of meats, salads and pasta/rice dishes and it was perfectly prepared and actually made the symposium I attended worthwhile.
I can't rave enough about the service and perfect menu. I'm from the Bay Area and if I could get them to drive there for my next party I'd definitely pay for it.

A sincere "thank you" to Joshua and all at Sunny's Catering for enhancing my Corralitos open house with your magic! I requested specifically Corralitos sausage to tie in to the local theme of the listing, and they went the extra miles to deliver and set up their fantastic display. The food was a huge hit! Joshua made my budget work with and abundant feeling food presentation. Though I heard about the actual presentation second hand (I could not be at the open house), the reviews were excellent. Not being able to attend could have added to the stress of wanting the open house to go

We hired Sunny's catering to cater our wedding brunch and we are so glad we did!! Joshua was very helpful, communicative, and made sure all the details were planned before the big day. Jeff and his team made sure our day ran without a hitch. And the most important part, the food was delicious! Thanks again guys!

Sunny's Catering (Joshua, Jeff and Cybil) worked a luau party for us and they were the BEST! I "introduced" them to my kitchen and from that point on, they handled everything! I actually got to enjoy the party. When the party was over my kitchen was cleaner than when they arrived.
They worked hand in hand with Pono Grill who provided the food. It was Labor Day weekend and they picked up the food downtown, navigated the holiday traffic and got to us in south county exactly when they were expected. Locals know, that's a bigger accomplishment than it might sound!

If you are looking for someone to cater your event who will actually provide you good food, I highly recommend coming to this wonderful woman by the name of Sunny.
I have never seen someone put in so much effort into her dishes, even to the tiniest detail. For example, she refuses to use store bought lemon juice and instead will juice the lemons herself. She attempts to make everything truly a work of art and she challenges herself to provide the best experience at every event she caters at.
I attended a wedding Sunny had catered and everyone was blown away by how good the food was, including

I recently had Sunny cater my wedding. WOW! She was fantastic. Beyond her delicious food, Sunny was almost like a wedding planner for us! We got married at the La Selva Club House and had no idea what we were doing at all, Sunny took the time to meet with us at the Club House and discuss extra things we needed, like chairs, lighting, etc. She's a true veteran of the area and e-mailed me examples of cute decoration ideas she's seen at the venue before.
The food was the best tasting wedding food I've ever had. And Sunny was so organized, punctual, and right on with her food and venue

Sunny catered our wedding in August 2013 at the Sesnon House (170 person wedding). I thought her food was really some of the best tasting catered wedding food I've ever had, having worked as a wedding caterer in the past myself. What I liked about her food was that it was sort of simple and fresh, and everything tasted really homemade.
We loved her pan fried chicken and her salad is fantastic - really fresh ingredients, not overly salty or greasy like some other wedding food can be.
Sunny also went out of her way to make us feel cared for and about. We had a small billing problem at the

All we really cared about for our wedding is that we had our friends and family there, everyone had fun, and there was plenty of good food. Sunny really delivered on the food front!
Our friends and family literally raved about lunch (and they tend to be serious about their food), and she even made sure my husband and I took a second to eat. I couldn't get enough of the perfectly grilled veggies and the tri-tip was falling apart tender. Sunny was extremely accommodating both during the planning process and when it came to the list of dietary restrictions we had to cover (vegan, gluten-free

Sunny's Catering is probably the best catering outfit in the entire Santa Cruz area. The presentation is literally amazing, with intricate food carving sculptures and edibles. I've had the pleasure of eating the food on several occasions and the food is fantastic.
I'd definitely recommend them if you're looking for a caterer in Santa Cruz area (or the entire SF Bay area for that matter) for a wedding, banquet or event, I'd highly recommend them.
