LA Spice Catering - Culver City, California

We had an outstanding experience for our first catered event with LA Spice. The event planner, Andrea, was pleasant and easy to work with. She came and did a site visit to assess the possibilities for the party set up.

A few weeks later we had to change the venue. She was completely unflustered, came back for another site visit and made new suggestions about the set up.

As for the menu, she listened carefully to our parameters, then put together a menu that looked great on paper. She also worked with us to design the party layout including the colors for the table coverings, garden umbrellas, chairs, etc.

On the day of the party, she arrived early to oversee the set up. The catering staff came shortly afterwards and worked in a well orchestrated fashion to put everything together in just about 30 minutes.

The food that had looked good on paper was superb in both appearance and taste. The guests raved about the food long after the party!

The service by the staff of five (Chefs: Conrad & Dante; Servers: Agustin & Dawn; Bartender: Seth) was top-notch — pleasant, professional, attentive, and good humored. Many of our guests complimented us on how we’d found this group for our event.

For the size of our party and the food and service provided, the cost per person was very reasonable and lower than in our past experience with caterers.

We will definitely use LA Spice for future events and would highly recommend them to anyone else.

Andrea and her team were ROCK STARS! Andrea went above and beyond to make sure my event was a success by stopping by the site in advance, helping me rearrange the floor plan and providing her professional opinion on what would work best! Her team arrived early and immediately set up multiple stations in no time, that complimented my theme beautifully. My tenants enjoyed the selection LA SPICE put together and could not stop talking about the BEET HUMMUS! I could not have done this event without them! Looking forward to working with LA SPICE, Andrea and her team of professionals in the future! Book your next event with LA SPICE, you will not regret it!

LA Spice is a 1st class business all the way! Andrea, the coordinator was a delight to work with. She is professional, kind and attentive. Andrea made sure that she met or exceeded all my expectations for the day of the event. She kept a good line of communication with me that was truly appreciated. The staff was very helpful and eager to keep the event running smooth. They took direction well, so I didn't feel the need to keep checking on them. The hors d’ oeuvres presentation was lovely besides tasting so good. It was such a relief to just enjoy the event!

LA Spice is just fantastic, from the food to the service to the responsiveness and professionalism. I had to reach out to LA Spice very last minute for a very difficult event... a reception after a funeral. I gave them less than 48 hours notice and they did everything they could to help make a difficult time in my family's life a little less difficult and a little more beautiful.

Andrea - the event producer - went above and beyond to make it possible to have a lovely reception at my home less than 48 hours after I called. She worked with me until well past normal business hours to ensure that everything went smoothly and to provide me and my family with exactly what we were looking for to celebrate my father’s life and welcome 30+ people into my house after his funeral services. She then came to my home personally to ensure everything went smoothly and was set up beautifully while I was not yet even home from the services.

The superb Chef not only makes excellent, elegant, beautifully presented food, but is a truly kind person. He took precious time away from his family while at an amusement park in order to put together (and then adjust!) a lovely menu for me on such short notice. The food and the presentation of it was just exceptional. It was exactly what I wanted and more. The amount of food was also perfectly estimated. Everyone had plenty to eat and got what they wanted, there was no shortage of food and yet, there was also not too much left over after the event ended.

The servers, Augustin and Mike were so kind, well organized, helpful, pro-active, polite, efficient, observant and overall excellent servers in our home during the event. Even our guests noticed and commented on how wonderful they were.

LA Spice will be the only catering service I will use and recommend going forward whenever possible. There were a few people in my home that day who also need the services of catering on occasion they wanted LA Spice business cards. That is high praise.

They did a spectacular job in every way and it was not only noticed, but appreciated.

LA Spice catered our annual UCLA Alumni Leaders Conference and they did such a spectacular job!! Working with our conservative budget, they created beautiful lunch and dessert reception displays; our alumni volunteers raved about the food. Their service was impeccable, their staff spot-on, professional and patient. I cannot recommend LA Spice enough for both their catering fulfillment and their delicious eye-catching culinary presentations.

I have used LA Spice on 3 different occasions (from small receptions to larger events) and they manage to top themselves every time. Every detail from the decoration to the food to the service is attended to flawlessly. Our contact was Andrea Bessey. She welcomed the opportunity to answer our questions and suggested several menus to work with our university budget. The food was excellent and the staff was willing to go the extra mile to make the event a huge success. Overall, they have done a phenomenal job and we plan to use them again and again.

I have hired LA Spice Catering for over 25 years to assist me with our families celebrations and business catering needs. May I say that after such a long time, the menu, food quality and creative juices are as fresh as ever. I have NEVER been disappointed with the service, new menu approach and ideas and the responsiveness of the crew at LA Spice. We have done everything from intimate family dinners to business events and Passover, graduation and birthday grand events. My go to group to make my life easier. Highly recommend LA Spice for all of your needs.

We have been working with LA Spice Catering for years now and they are absolutely amazing. Andrea, the coordinator, is not only professional and easy to work with but also very understanding and accommodating of our needs. When we have last minute catering requests, they pull through every single time and we know we can rely on them. Their staff is also very professional, attentive, and friendly. The food itself is absolutely amazing and we get compliments about the food from our guests at every single event!
