We hired Chef Nicholas Catering for our intimate wedding dinner at a private 80-person winery in Sonoma. We are foodies and wanted something special for our wedding day. Something non-traditional, with a modern twist and amazing taste. Per our request, Nick went above and beyond with a family-style meal. We highly recommend Chef Nicholas for any special occasion. Nick is engaging, approachable, and inviting and will definitely make you feel like you are a part of the process of making the food grown on his own farm Nick completely exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Choosing him for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made.
Selection Process: The first sign, was that there was no BS, no pretentiousness, just humble, listened, and actually showed interest in getting to know who we were, where we were from, our backgrounds..etc. Nick invited us to his home for an intimate tasting. We were wined and dined over a freshly made dinner, and goat cheese he made from the herd he has on his farm. He personally spent the summer fishing in Alaska to find fish for our wedding and hand-crafted all of the cheeses we had waiting for our guests. Chef Nick is the definition of Farm To Table! The whole tasting experience was amazing, and most importantly, the quality of food he created for the two of us, was matched at the wedding for 80ppl!
The Wedding: The day of was a bit hectic since we were doing everything ourselves, but once Chef Nicholas and his crew showed up, they completely handled everything related to the setup, food, and breakdown with grace and professionalism. The crew was beyond courteous–everybody was pleasant to interact with, and our guests greatly appreciated the service. We were also so happy that we went with family style since everybody was seated at long tables and got to eat without having to wait around in line. It was so much nicer than buffet style and so much easier than a plated meal. Family style just creates a warm, homey dining environment. Chef Nicholas also went above and beyond and created a unique late-night menu for us, all of this done on an active winery that did not have a working kitchen. He handled renting all the equipment he needed and executed flawlessly.
Our wedding food was absolutely perfect, and Chef Nicholas Catering was the best staff we could have ever hoped for. We give 5 stars and beyond, we are serious Chef Nick fans!
