Amazing Food and Service! Above All Catering made my wedding in October 2023 absolutely perfect! The food was incredible, and the service was flawless. The team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly—I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. One moment that truly stood out was when the bakery failed to deliver my wedding cake. I had completely forgotten about it, but Fernando Licea, the Event Lead, saved the day. He stepped in and made it happen seamlessly. I couldn’t recommend Above All Catering more. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence are unmatched. Thank you for making my special day unforgettable!

I had Love at First Bite cater my wedding back in May and I cannot say enough good things about the service and food. First, I want to say that Ariana was amazing to work with in the planning phase. She answered all of my questions and accommodated all the changes I had throughout the process and was so easy to work with the entire time! When it came to day of, everything regarding food was perfect. For cocktail hour, I unfortunately, did not get to the baja grazing table before it was ravaged by my guests hahaha, but everyone I spoke to regarding the grazing table said it was amazing! And then I literally cannot stop thinking about the lemon ricotta crostini. I still get comments specifically about it from friends to this day. All the passed appetizers were so good and then dinner was even better. The staff the day of was amazing and had a plate ready for my husband and I as soon as we sat in our seats at reception. Everything really exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much!!!!!!

Parish Events

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Dana Point, CA

We’re a boutique events company dedicated to creating celebrations that feel as meaningful as the moments you’re celebrating. From bespoke catering and craft bar services to full event planning, we craft weddings that tell your story through thoughtful menus, beautiful details, and unforgettable experiences. Parish Events is here to help you curate heartfelt gatherings filled with love, joy, and a little magic.

My husband and I decided on a micro wedding with 25 guests. As people who love great food and memorable dining experiences, we knew the food and beverage had to be the highlight of our day. It took us a while to find the right vendor, and we couldn’t be happier that we went with Parish Events! We originally hired them for catering and bar services, but ended up using their planning services too and I’m so glad we did. From our very first inquiry, we were met with such a warm, thoughtful response and plenty of information about their fully custom menus and process. We hopped on a Zoom call, instantly felt comfortable, and decided to move forward. Both our dinner and cocktail menus were completely custom. We even had tastings for both before locking anything in. The dinner tasting alone was a 12-course experience that genuinely rivaled meals we’ve had at Michelin-starred restaurants. It was incredible. At first, we planned to handle the rest of the details ourselves, but we ran into some issues with rentals and other vendors. I reached out to Parish Events for advice, and not only were they happy to help, it became really clear they were far better equipped to take this on. We added on some of their planning services and never looked back. They helped with design details and secured the rest of the vendors we needed to bring everything together. Our wedding day was beautiful, seamless, and everything we hoped for. I wouldn’t change a thing.

"Literally The Best Wedding Food I've Ever Had." -Guest at our wedding If you are even thinking about booking Americano for your wedding, stop thinking and DO IT. Hiring them was single-handedly the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process. We knew we wanted our food to be a highlight, not an afterthought, and the Americano team delivered a culinary experience that was beyond our wildest dreams. Our guests are still raving about it weeks later! From our very first inquiry, their catering manager (Beni) and team were an absolute dream to work with. They were responsive, incredibly organized, and genuinely excited about creating a menu that felt personal to us. They took our vision and elevated it with creative ideas, turning the tasting into one of our favorite pre-wedding memories. They made the entire process feel completely seamless and stress-free. Now, let's talk about the food on the wedding day. Show-stopping. We had the burrata with prosciutto and fig jam for a starter, and people were losing their minds over how fresh and flavorful it was. For mains, the slow-braised short rib literally melted in your mouth, and the sea bass was cooked to absolute perfection. It wasn't just "good wedding food"—it was exceptional food, period. The presentation was stunning, the ingredients were top-tier, and everything was served hot and flawlessly. Multiple guests—including our pickiest family members—pulled us aside to say it was the most delicious and memorable meal they had ever had at a wedding. Americano didn't just cater our wedding; they created an unforgettable experience that became a core memory of our celebration. They are worth every single penny and then some for the impact they will have on your day. Book them. You will be so, so happy you did!

Selecting a caterer for our wedding was a very daunting task. So many caterers to choose from, all at different price levels and various offerings.

He helped guide us along the path from beginning to our wedding day. Chef Cooper was always punctual, reliable, respectful and honest. He truly had our best interests at heart. At our tasting, we knew we had made the right choice. The food was phenomenal. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the entire layout of our wedding changed 4 days prior to the big day. Chef Cooper was very instrumental in collaborating with our wedding coordinator and made sure that the changes would not affect his service. On the day of Chef and his team were on time, ready to work and pleasant with our guests.
