Wow. I was completely blown away by the food and presentation at their Madison School District Performing Arts Center event. If you are planning a party or gathering that requires delicious food, creativity and professionalism, I highly recommend Santa Barbara Catering. The staff couldn't be more friendly.

The best catering company in the valley by far. Delicious food, superb service, and quality. From private parties, corporate events, to weddings they do it all and a mark above the rest. The service team always provides a seamless event that you never have to worry about and can enjoy your time.

When my now-husband and I first dined at one of Santa Barbara Catering's restaurants, we immediately knew we had to have them cater our wedding. The variety of delectable food items made our mouths water and the taste is like nothing we’ve ever had before! Every hors d'oeuvre and entree we sampled had outstanding flavor and was displayed beautifully, even as a buffet. The vegetables were fresh and cooked just right, and the tortilla and parmesan crusted chicken breast was to die for! Our guests are STILL texting me saying how much they loved the food we had at the wedding!

Not only was the food delicious, but Santa Barbara Catering’s service and attention to detail was second to none. Our tables, linens and decor were laid out exactly as I envisioned. The beautiful colored napkins and fruitwood chairs really classed up our event and made the reception all the more gorgeous. Nobody was ever without food or drink in hand thanks to the fabulous wait staff who was working our event. There was even a gentleman who came all the way out to where we were taking photos with our photographers (which was a several minute walk from the reception) just to bring my groom and I water and hors d'oeuvres to make sure we weren’t getting faint or too hungry to continue.

We had the most beautiful, delicious dinner we could possibly have hoped for and we cannot recommend Artisan by Santa Barbara Catering Company enough! If you’re having an upcoming event, you’d be making a huge mistake by not hiring this company!

We were enjoying our day at the LPGA golf tournament, we were enjoying beverages and snacks from some ladies at the bar, and we filled their tip jar. Our friends tipped them, we saw other people tipping them, and they actually did a really great job. It was awesome, excellent!

Later in the evening, a woman in a Santa Barbara, catering T-shirt came around and emptied their tip jar into her own fanny pack. We went to the bar and asked why they took their cash tips, and the bartenders told us that the tips are collected from everybody and taxed, and paid out on paychecks in two or three weeks.

If I wanted to tip them in 2 to 3 weeks, I guess I would’ve went out and found them in 2 to 3 weeks, I wanted to tip them on Thursday while I was enjoying myself at the golf tournament.

My next question is how on earth do these bartenders know that they’re getting their tips back correctly? This mom and didn’t count it, she didn’t say anything, she didn’t have them sign anything and we asked how do you know how much money you gave her, and they just kind of shrugged and looked sad, our service industry professionals are already not paid enough money at all to the point of us having to tip them so you’re telling me that your company takes their cash tips?

So if you decide to use this catering company and they have servers or bartenders that you’re BEING CHARGED GRATUITY FOR just know that the company is going to collect the gratuity and any cash and MAYBE the service staff will receive it.

Shame on you, Santa Barbara.

We are considering Santa Barbara Catering for our annual holiday party and the food we tasted today was amazing. Their presentation was great and their creativity was totally in line with our theme. They use locally sourced food, and provided us so many options for our party. We were impressed!

WOW! I can't say enough good things about Santa Barbara Catering. We recently worked with Corinne for an open house event for 100+ people. As we're new to the area where we through the event Corinne and her staff assisted in helping source everything from flowers, rentals to musician. The food, catering staff and overall execution was spectacular. I would highly recommend!

I have attended mutlriole high-end events in the valley over the past couple of years and time after time the food has been the work of Artisan by Santa Barbera Catering. I can only say that I hope more events have them, as the menus are always top notch and something I would only expect at a fine dining restaurant, so the fact they can do this for large events again and again, has earned a 5 star review. Keep up the amazing work!
