Sacramento Catering Collective - Sacramento, California

SCC catered our June 2022 wedding and we highly recommend them! We were interested when we read up online but once we had our tasting- we knew without a doubt that we wanted to hire them!

Not only do they use quality, local, organic, and homemade ingredients- but everything they make tastes freaking amazing. Their boutique-style dishes and set-ups are absolutely magazine-worthy. Their portions are also great compared to some other catering companies. We weren't short on anything. Everyone at our wedding loved the food. My mom was especially impressed with their professionalism- they wear uniforms, have beautiful serving stations, and are super knowledgeable and friendly. Liz was so tentative to us at our sweetheart table- she checked in on us, brought us tea during our speeches so we wouldn't have to get up. She also went out of her way to help out with our coffee station which was so thoughtful. Also, the crew was super nice and made awesome drinks all night that all the guests loved.

We only have one critique for SCC. When we went to our first tasting, some of the items we had pre-picked were missing. Because of that, we had to plan a second tasting for about a month or so later. They were kind enough not to charge us since it was their mistake. Unfortunately, for the second tasting, they still had some things missing! That was a bit frustrating but Liz assured us that everything would be written out and confirmed for wedding day, which it was! Looking back I think we had ordered bread and butter but I don't believe that was out on the wedding night. Those were the little things-however, we believe its just because they were a newer company and still figuring out some logistics, etc. All in all, SCC is a wonderful catering company that we would hire again- and you should definitely consider hiring them for your events!

Thanks SCC!

Our favorite and most important vendor for our wedding. Elizabeth & Joseph are amazing in their dedication to their work and teams. Since first meeting them til after our wedding, we never doubted we’d found the most amazing caterers for our event. Our guests were raving to us about food and drinks served at the wedding. “The best steak I’ve had, ever!!!” Is the kind of response you don’t always expect to have from many of your guests at your wedding, but that is what happened.
Their service is second to none and is breaking ground in the catering industry for the standard of culinary services available.
Thank you so much, you’ve made our wedding unforgettable for everyone.

In our early days of wedding planning, my now husband and I agreed primarily on one aspect - food. One of the most significant aspects of a memorable wedding experience is sharing a meal together with loved ones. Including Sacramento Catering Collective to be a part of that intimacy is a decision that we wholeheartedly stand by.

As an Asian American bride, the internal struggle of not having a traditional Vietnamese/Chinese 10 course banquet plagued me, but early conversations with point of contact, Elizabeth, ensured me we made the right decision. Our needs were met with such professionalism and patience. As a healthcare provider, cancellation for the safety of all was always on our mind. Our 175+ guest list became 75. My 2am emails, requests, and check-ins were frequent, but Elizabeth made sure my concerns were put at ease with timely responses and willingness to accommodate.

On the day, Sacramento Catering collective provided us with a lovely 4 course plated dinner service. Scallops, beef filet, lobster, and individualized mini guest cakes - all excellent choices. I inhaled a perfect beef filet in approximately 2 minutes. I heard the hand pulled pasta with lobster was truly a hit. And I can't say enough about the Swiss meringue frosting from their baker, Devon. The attention to detail through refined plating/presentation and stellar service from servers/bartender did not go unnoticed. It was all so thoroughly enjoyable.

Like all weddings, there were mild mishaps, but mostly due to my own miscommunications & misunderstandings. For future couples, I suggest ample discussion between caterer/planner/couple in regards to: dinnerware rentals, alcohol/garnish/mixer needs for drinks, beverage stations, and logistics of guest meal selection. I think all parties would benefit from a checklist to ensure all is well.

It's important to emphasize that wedding planning in a pandemic was a privilege and extending patience and kindness to our vendors should be a priority. We are so grateful for all the efforts of Sacramento Catering Collective in the chaos of Covid-19. Having a mask wearing and vaccinated team with similar values was much appreciated.

There is no doubt that Sacramento Catering Collective will continue to flourish.

Most amazing farm to table food, excellent service and overall the most enjoyable catering/chef/menu design company I have ever worked with! We used SCC for two events this summer! The events were from 80 to 40 guests! At each event Elizabeth and chef designed a local farm to table menu that fit our different themes ( carnival baby shower and bridgerton bridal shower)! From the first day we spoke to the tasting, to execution of the pre event, event and post event were flawless! Everyone at our events raved about the food and service! We have pretty particular tastes and like upscale dining and Sacramento collective delivered!!!

Their mobile kitchen is the best thing to every happen to event planning and for people that love fresh hot local and aesthetically pleasing! Make setup a breeze! Their bartender and servers were personable and worked very hard at each event! They were a joy to have there! I can’t rave about SCC enough! I was enjoying the events so much I forgot to take pictures of all their amazing food stations (sliders, tuna tartar, tacos, caviar tea sandwiches etc)

They will be our go to private caterer or event catering for all future events!

We had an incredible experience with Sacramento Catering Collective! They were extremely easy to communicate with, timely with any new updates and were more than adaptable to our needs as a team/group. The food was delicious, service was on time, and our team was taken care of wonderfully! We will absolutely be going back to SCC in the future for any more of our catering needs!

Wow. Really wasn’t sure what to expect. Working downtown in this area can be a huge challenge. Sometimes the walk and wait for something on K street can eat up most your lunch hour. Great sandwich selection (pictured is the balsamic chicken. Hot sandwich with arugula and dressing and tomato. Even for a big dude like me - I only could finish half and had to tap out. Soooo good. So satisfying. Definite 5⭐️ joint!!

I can’t stop thinking about how amazing Elizabeth, the staff, and the food was. From the moment we tasted the first course during our food tasting, we knew right then they were the one! And WOW, they delivered! I’m so thankful for Sacramento Catering Collective for everything that they did. From planning to execution, everything was excellent. The food was so delicious and my family and friends cannot stop talking about it. Five days before our wedding day, our venue was under evacuation due to wildfires. Elizabeth put me at incredible ease and went above and beyond contacting vendors/venues. Elizabeth and the staff were truly kind, personable, caring, attentive, and it means the world to us that we got to work with them on our most special of day! Thank you so much! I simply cannot recommend them enough!
