The team at Harvest Kitchen was truly wonderful. They approached our wedding and the catering planning process with patience, professionalism, and dedication! I have an autoimmune condition and they were incredibly caring in making space and adjusting the tasting menu and day of wedding menu so that I too could enjoy all of these wonderful food moments that I hoped to experience throughout the wedding planning process. They were so creative and made the most BEAUTIFUL and tasty menu for our wedding. The staff was kind and stayed dedicated throughout the whole process. They listened to our food dreams for the wedding and truly made it happen! So appreciative of Harvest Kitchen and their wonderful staff.

We used Harvest Kitchen to cater our wedding in Palm Springs in October 2024. They came into the planning process a little bit late because they actually replaced a caterer that we decided to cancel (so you can say we are picky!) We live in Chicago and are used to good food -- so with a small wedding, we really wanted to make sure that we gave our guests a good experience. We did not even have a chance to do a tasting but in the end it didn't matter, all of the food was absolutely phenomenal! They even helped us save a few $$ by using their food truck to prep the food instead of us renting kitchen equipment. The catering staff was so sweet and attentive. We ended up taking some extra photos during cocktail hour and they saved my husband and I 1 of each of the appetizers - which was amazing!! We are so glad we switched from the previous caterer to Harvest!!

I had Harvest Kitchen cater my wedding in Indio last month and they were by far my most favorite vendor at my wedding. Almost every single person at my wedding came up to me to tell me how amazing their food was. It was high end restaurant quality and every appetizer, side, main dish and dessert was phenomenal. I had vegetarian guests, dairy free, paleo etc and they accommodated every request perfectly. Their pricing was competitive and right on point for the quality of food you’d get. They truly made the night of my wedding so special and memorable.

We hired Harvest for our wedding on January 1st. We had a large group with Plated service. The Vegan and Non Vegan options were wonderful and the staff was impeccable to say the least. I would recommend Harvest Kitchen for anyone looking to put on a Worry free event. They were 1st class in every area.

Harvest Kitchen was absolutely incredible! I will recommend them to anyone I know getting married in Southern California. The food was delicious, all of our guests have commented on it. Several asked for the mojo shrimp recipe they loved it so much! We also asked for a bread and butter table during our cocktail hour and so many people raved about the fancy butter flavors and the delicious sourdough. The desserts were phenomenal. And the service, communication, and coordination was smooth and easy!

We had HK cater our wedding in Indio Dec 3, 2022. We had some very particular requirements, including high welfare pasture raised meat, and really wanted truly delicious, unique "non-wedding" food. HK met the challenge on all fronts and stayed flexible for us. We planned our wedding from another country so had to commit to the caterer and menu sight unseen, which was nervewracking, but when we were finally able to get to a tasting, it was PHENOMENAL.

They're not the cheapest, but people are still talking about the food from the wedding and that was our goal. It was our #1 priority. We did the cheese station (gorgeous), crispy chickpeas and seasonal bruschetta (amazing) as starters. Then we had the Mexican kale caesar, slow-cooked chicken thighs with salsa verde, pomegranate-glazed shortribs, squash with mole (OMG the mole) and polenta cakes as a base. It was all incredible and beautiful. We even had meat eaters go back for seconds to try the vegan fajita bowl because they loved their food so much. HK also nicely agreed to heat and handle some authentic pierogi we brought in from another vendor as our late night snack. We did buffet style but they had servers refilling waters and clearing plates, they were all very professional and friendly. Highly recommend if you want unforgettable food at your event.

We had Harvest Kitchen cater our 120 person wedding in Palm Springs this past weekend.

When we first chose Harvest Kitchen, we did so based on a combination of pricing, reviews, and the thoughtfulness that Samantha displayed during our conversations (there were certain ideas that we had that in retrospect made no sense, and Samantha/Harvest were the only people that actually told us so! In a very kind manner). My husband and I are bi-coastal so we couldn't easily do a tasting before making the decision so we went based on gut + trust of reviews!

We are so glad we did! The whole process with Harvest was extremely smooth. The tasting was super helpful in refining our menu, their information request was very straightforward, and on the day of everything went seamlessly.

A huge number of guests commented on how good the food was (the ultimate compliment). Would 100% make the same choice with confidence!
