Randy Peters Catering

Randy Peters Catering makes excellent event food. To those of us in Public Safety, Randy Peters Catering has continued providing us with abundant and delicious holiday meals throughout the years, and I always look forward to what they have waiting for us.

The worst catering company! Contacted Randy Peter’s Catering on November 30^th.
Received a email from then on December 1^st, they would be in contact soon.
Now it’s December 5^th and still not one word from this company.
Very unprofessional and RUDE!
Found another catering company who contacted us within 12 hours.
They earned our business $$$ for a Holiday Event & Wedding Event.

Took the Sierra College Mexican cooking class. Besides the class being great, love, love, love the Mexican cookies you sent us home with. I have always had them round. I rather have them as a cookie. Thanks for showing us a different way of doing things.

Randy Peters Catering made me look like a rockstar to my new team. I was tasked with organizing a major event at my new job. Meghan came highly recommended by an event planner so I gave her a ring. After we spoke, she quickly sent me materials to review and set up a time for a site visit.
During the site visit, she was very thorough and gave great suggestions on what to serve. She promptly put together a proposal for me and was patient throughout the various revisions. She was very responsive and got back to me right away if I had any questions.
On the day of the event, Emily arrived promptly and had the stations and food ready before our guests arrived. She was extremely professional and needed very little guidance or direction. I got to take my time and prep for the event without worrying about the food. When our guests arrived, they were impressed with the set up and the food.
When Meghan said that they have a great cheese and roasted vegetable tray, I took this with a grain of salt. Having a food background, I’m not easily impressed. But man she was right! (Check out my pictures!) They had such a huge variety of cheeses, some which I have never heard of before. I think there was a dozen different kinds that worked perfectly with the roasted winter veggies. We also had the stuffed mushrooms which I highly recommend.
However, the most impressive part of the evening was towards the end. I feel so bad because I meant to tell Emily that our building locked after 6 pm. She went to the truck to get some supplies and got locked out. Meghan tried to reach me but was unable to get a hold of me. Instead of just giving up, Emily found a way in the building and walked up SIX FLIGHTS of stairs, while carrying supplies, to get to our office. Unfortunately, the stairwells were locked also, but she persevered until I found her. Wow! «Impressed» seems an inadequate word for what I felt. Suffice it to say, RPC is on my speed dial for my next event.
Thanks to Meghan, Emily and the entire Randy Peters team for making our event unforgettable.

This company knows how to do it right… delicious food, immaculate presentation, and outstanding service… what more could you want for a caterer? Randy Peters catered our wedding last August and still months later my friends and family are still talking about their delicious meal! Randy Peters Catering made everything so easy for us! Kerry was our wedding coordinator and she was amazing!!! Organized, sweet, prompt and so patient with us as we decided on all of our selections. This company truly goes out of their way for their customers and I felt so taken care of as the Bride. I highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for impeccable service and food that will leave your guests craving it for months to come!

Catering is their PASSION, intriguing guests excites them. Creating something NEW to them or you, thrills them while communications are clear and concise. Their teams are professional & precise machines with a sense of wit and ease and… the food is worth raving about!

It’s been almost 2 weeks since I’ve heard back from KERRY or MELISSA about a quote I’ve requested SEVERAL times! I understand that this may be a busy season for them, but customer service should ALWAYS be #1 so that means RESPONDING BACK TO POTENTIAL CLIENTS E-​MAILS AND PROPOSAL REQUESTS. Business must be good for Randy Peters Catering because they obviously do not want a huge wedding of 250 guests to cater for! We will most definitely take our business elsewhere. Sorry, not sorry!

I cannot think of another catering service I would have wanted to be with me at my wedding. I hired Randy Peters catering services for my wedding, which had a taco truck. My wedding started at 6 and they were already at the venue at 3. They worked in the hot August heat to set up all of my chairs and place settings, as well as my appetizer and dessert tables. They worked patiently around my needs and the needs of my bridal party and family throughout the entire day. During the ceremony and reception, they were all busy making sure the guests were served and given what they needed. At the end of the night, the venue was put back into place with everything thrown away or put away. They did an amazing job. I could not have asked for anything better. I would recommend them for any catering needs. Thank you Randy Peters catering service for making my wedding wonderful!

Incredible concessions. The breakfast burritos are to die for and the whole staff works so hard to keep things rolling.

I was in charge of putting together a small company luncheon and after tasting what a few local companies had to offer it was time to go outside the area so I went to Unilocal to find the best of the best — the reviews here do not lie!
I went into this blind — never heard of them or tried them before, but based on their reviews I figured it couldn’t be horrible to go into this blind. So I dove in face first and crossed my fingers hoping for the best!
Randy Peters Catering is AMAZING!
Staff: 5 Stars immediately — from introduction to presentation to serving and breakdown they were awesome! The servers were AWESOME! They had great personalities and were on their A-​game! Very attentive and willing to help with anything — even above and beyond what was expected of them.
Food: 5 Stars — we did a Spring into Summer BBQ and it was everything we had hoped for! The food was flavorful and fresh — the potato salad was definitely the favorite. The pulled pork wasn’t dry and was full of flavor! Chicken was just right — cooked all the way through and moist! We had NOTHING left! Pretty sure some of our employees would have even licked the buffet clean if we let them :)
I will definitely be a repeat customer and refer them as often as I can.

Randy Peters catered my recent rehearsal dinner and wedding and they did a great job. So much about what they did deserves five stars, but I’m only giving them four (which I’ll go into).
Worthy of 5 stars: The food, oh the food is so good! For the rehearsal dinner we did barbeque which was excellent and for the wedding we did the «Prudent Bride» package which is sirloin, scalloped potatoes, vegetables, bread and salad – also excellent. Did I mention the scalloped potatoes, they’re to die for! The wait staff and bartenders was very on top of keeping everything clean (and waitresses were so adorable!) and were extremely friendly. Kerry, the planner, was extremely friendly and detail oriented. She helped advise us on how the rental company would be setting things up and she showed up in person to help supervise and make sure everything was in it’s proper place for the actual event. Prices were also extremely reasonable and when planning not one, but two large events, that’s a huge win!
Why it’s getting 4 stars: While Kerry was extremely nice and detail oriented she had this tendency to overpromise things. For example, during her first site visit she said her staff would set up the guest tables in their entirety for the reception (including centerpieces). Later over email, she said they do not do that and that I would have to plan for that on my own. The other big one was she talked up her bartender saying how fabulous she was and how she knew every drink. At the wedding, my husband asked for an old fashioned (which is pretty simple) and she not only looked it up on her phone in front of us, she ended up putting flat water in it instead of sparkling. So the bartenders expertise was a little oversold which of course the lack of expertise is another reason for the 4 stars.
So much about Randy Peters was so excellent and everyone at the company is such a pleasure to deal with. Honestly the good far, far outweighs the bad. I would definitely look to Randy Peters to cater a similar type of event in the future!

So, what can I say about Randy Peter’s Catering…
THEY WERE AWESOME!
I had the pleasure of working with Randy Peter’s Catering for my recent wedding of May 2^nd, 2014. The whole process was painless and Melissa was AMAZING! I am a controller, I had a wedding planner but I had to be in the know of everything! Melissa truly did an amazing job working with both of us. The food was delicious, they really listened to what my fiancé and I wanted. They were just awesome.
This was a gay wedding and unfortunately we were working with a previous caterer who really didn’t feel comfortable working with us. Everyone has a right to their opinion but we ultimately had to leave for another caterer and we really lucked out with Randy Peter’s. I can’t say enough great things about them but that they are AWESOME! The bartender at our wedding was great and the entire staff was so much fun and very nice.
I DEFINITELY recommend them!

We hired Randy Peters Catering for my Dad’s 60^th Birthday party, and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Melissa really listened to what I had in mind for my Dad’s party and was very flexible at creating a menu we thought my dad and all 60 guests would enjoy. Not only did our server Rob showed up on time, set up a beautiful buffet area and have everything ready at the exact time requested, but he really went above and beyond by going around to tables to pick up plates for guests who had finished eating and offering to bag up the remaining food at the end of the event. Speaking of food, it was delicious! We had so many compliments from our guests and everyone was asking for their business cards. I would highly recommend Randy Peter’s for any event you need catered!

We recently hired Randy Peters Catering to cater our daughter’s wedding based on a personal recommendation and we were very pleased with the entire experience. The food was delicious, service outstanding, and presentation very elegant. From the preliminary tasting and excellent personal service provided by their senior event coordinator to the awesome wedding day team who were top notch at making sure every detail was covered according to our wishes, the special day our daughter dreamed of was perfect. They provide a full range of service options to choose from for any type of event, and we definitely recommend them if you are looking for a quality experience with a professionally run business.

Since I posted my not so satisfactory experience with Randy Peters, they have contacted me. They were sincerely apologetic about my experience and they guaranteed me that the next time we choose to use them, we will be completely satisfied.
They called us after reading my review and wanted to know exactly what it was that we were unhappy with. They wanted our feedback as to what we didn’t like and how they could improve. They also went to say that they thoroughly value our business and would like to make absolute certainty that we will be completely satisfied the next time around. I will say this, this is the first time I’ve had a business contact me on what they could do to improve themselves.
Sure, my experience wasn’t that great this last time, but how often have we had a bad experience at a favorite business, but still continue to go there? On that note, I will still continue to use Randy Peters and hope for a better outcome on our next event! After all, he values my business and that is a business who I want to see succeed. Randy Peters, you Rock!

I’d like to give a huge THANK YOU to the staff at Randy Peters Catering for their perfect catering services at our open house! We received many compliments and everyone was very impressed with the food and staff. We highly recommend Randy Peters Catering to anyone looking for a caterer and we will be happy to enjoy your services again at future events.
Thanks again!

I have been to several events which used Randy Peters Catering. The food/​presentation has always been phenomenal. The employees that they hire to serve at the events are top notch. This company has perfected the art of catering in all ways. BRAVO! use them for your event, you will not be disappointed.

Catered our auction for a few hundred people. Awesome gourmet quality food.

Our pharmaceutical fraternity was hosting a golf tournament for business professionals in the Sacramento area, so we were looking for a catering service that would be appropriate for both the business aspect, as well as the golf tournament theme. We were also working on a preformed budget, and Randy Peters was nothing but accommodating. Once we explained to him what we were going for, he said he would take care of the rest. We worked out a contract that was all-​inclusive, and they took care of everything – from forks to drinks.
The food was spectacular, and more than that, the presentation was phenomenal. When it comes to a formal banquet, it’s all about presentation! I can’t thank Randy Peters Catering enough for all of their services.

A+ all the way.
I’ve used Randy and his crew a lot for work. We used him again for a small buffet dinner party with some friends, and everyone was very happy.
Recently, we used Randy Peters Catering for our wedding. We were so happy! We had a nice meal for our 170-​guest wedding. We stayed within our budget, and I really feel like they bent over backwards to help us with other details as well, i.e., linens, tableware suggestions, placement, etc.
The staff was wonderful, too! They came the night before to set up for the reception… and they helped us the entire evening, too. At one point we realized our seating chart was not going to work, and they were very helpful with a nervous bride-​to-​be with their expert suggestions on seating and arrangement. From what I’m told, they even helped the people from the bakery when they got there the morning of the wedding when they needed help arranging the cake/​dessert table.
We had a lovely display of hors d’oeuvres, and our dinner was tasty, beautiful, and arranged so nicely. We had the right amount of food — there were some leftovers, but not a huge amount.
Lisa was wonderful from the start, too… she was so helpful with suggestions about how to do… what to do… what to take…
We received many compliments on the meal and the service from our guests.
We couldn’t be happier, and will use them again in the future for sure.
