DJ's California Catering - Ventura, California

DJs is an excellent choice for wedding catering. We worked with Doug and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The food prepared by DJs was absolutely delicious - a lot of our guests told us that it was the best wedding food they ever had (and we totally agree!). All the food was incredible, but we especially loved the tri-tip and churros/cookies for dessert. From the tasting to the wedding day, the entire DJs staff was very friendly and efficient. We would recommend DJs catering to anyone looking for a high quality wedding caterer.

DJ's did a wonderful job with our catering! Our guests kept going on and on about how delicious the food was - and my husband I absolutely agree! When we initially booked their services, we talked to Rachel, and she was so helpful. She did a great job explaining everything and was very organized (and was very flexible when we wanted to reduce our budget on certain things). The staff on the day of the wedding was so professional and SO friendly. On the day of the wedding, I had a lot of wedding nervousness, so seeing how efficient they were helped ease my stress. They have a great variety of services, and that helped make the wedding planning a lot less chaotic. Would highly recommend if you're looking for delicious food, great value, professionalism...you name it! DJ's California Catering has it all and more!! 🙂

I am so happy to have found DJ’s Catering and had them provide food, bartending, and rentals at our wedding! They made the process so easy and seamless and it was very convenient to have the same vendor provide so many services. I had to adjust our order multiple times and Doug was very helpful and accommodating (and quick to answer emails too)! The taco buffet food surpassed my expectations and many guests let me know how delicious the food was afterwards. Doug and his team were very accommodating to our gluten-free and vegetarian guests and made special notes of where they were seated at our dinner tables. His team did a great job with load-in and clean-up. I would highly recommend for any future bride-to-be!

DJ's Catering was absolutely delicious and we highly recommend them. DJ's was the catering company that came with our wedding venue, Casi Cielo Vineyards. They have so many options for a variety of budgets from buffet service with even more options for that all the way to a full plated meal service. We opted for a plated service with duet entrees and a late night snack. We had the Filet Mignon and Tuscan Chicken breast with Roasted Vegetables and the smashed potatoes, we also had a vegetarian option that was a Penne pasta. The food was phenomenal. So many guests came up to us the day of and complimented how they had two entrees and how everything was delicious. We also had the late night snack option, which was pizza because our venue had a pizza oven, and our guests thought that was one of the smartest thing they have ever seen. Again the pizza was bomb! The bar was also a hit. Everyone said the drinks were delicious and the bartenders were super friendly and helped make the night a success. We highly recommend DJ's catering whether it be for a wedding or anything else, delicious and very memorable!

Doug was professional, accommodating, and a joy to work with on our recent wedding. DJ's provided everything we needed to host our friends and family in style! They truly are a one-stop shop for your event and party needs... tables, chairs, linens, plates, and flatware, servers, bar tenders, and an excellent catering menu... they have it all! They worked closely with us in preparing gluten free, vegan, and meat options to fit all our dietary needs. Highly recommended!

DJ’s is a wonderful catering company. They did a lunch buffet at my mother’s celebration of life service which included delicious chicken breast, roasted vegies, pasta, green salad, homemade rolls, chilled drinks and delightful deserts. Using DJ’s made that part of my event stress-free. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and DJ’s was very easy to work with, The guests were all happy with the delicious lunch and left feeling satisfied and full. The cost was fair and the customer service was phenomenal! I highly recommend.

Unfortunately, I had to use this company because they were partnered with my wedding venue. Despite already paying over $12,000 for 100 guests to eat and drink, their service was incredibly disappointing. We provided our own alcohol, and it still cost us a substantial amount. The staff's unprofessional behavior was unacceptable.

For example, when I requested tequila on the rocks, I was unreasonably criticized. Called “anal” by the bartender. Given the significant amount we paid, I expected to be treated with the utmost respect, but instead, my husband and I felt poorly treated. The staff displayed a lack of courtesy, and even though a tip was included in the total cost, they continued to solicit additional money from our guests.

Moreover, my sister, who is over 21, was denied service because she did not have her ID, which was absurd since the alcohol was provided by us. Additionally, during the setup, the bartenders refused to serve my maid of honor and me a seltzer before the ceremony because I was so nervous, insisting we wait until cocktail hour. They also denied my grandfather a beer at the start of the cocktail hour because they weren’t “ready”. It was one beer.

The staff's unprofessionalism extended to making inappropriate comments about me and the groom in front of guests. Although the owner later offered a nice dinner as compensation, it was not sufficient to remedy the overall poor experience.

In hindsight, I regret choosing this company. The high cost did not reflect the service provided, and I would advise others to consider different options for their wedding.

My wife and I chose DJ’s Catering for our wedding and we are so glad we did. We did a tasting with them and were impressed by the quality of the food—we didn’t want anything crazy, but rather just really high quality, and they delivered. Per our request, DJ’s added allergen information cards so our guests with food allergies were able to clearly see what they should and should not eat, and that was a really nice thing for us to have peace of mind for our guests. They also did a welcome beverage bar, a coffee/tea bar, and added Root Beer to our drink menu after we requested it (it’s my wife’s favorite). We got a ton of compliments on the food, especially the ice cream and churro dessert that DJ’s did. I don’t think there were any leftovers! They were very easy to work with and we loved that they have rentals available. We were even able to add last minute umbrellas when the forecast called for rain the week of our wedding.
