Crown Point Catering

Wow — vegetarian wedding tasting. Blown away because I am not the vegetarian and I don’t write reviews — but Kimberly sat with us and presented remarkable options for our daughters wedding.
We are all excited to present vegetarian courses that will be fresh, unexpected and delicious. Can’t wait.

I worked with Orsika through my wedding coordinator and we had a great experience. A month after our wedding, all my friends and family are STILL raving about the food! They were willing to work with me on a non-​traditional menu where I had lots of specific requests. I was worried I was going too outside the wedding box, but in the end we were both happy with the menu and excited about it. One of my main concerns was that we wouldn’t have enough food, because we chose heavy tray-​passed and a few live stations over a traditional banquet dinner. Everyone commented how the tray passed apps just kept coming and coming! It makes me so happy to hear that everyone loved the food at our wedding. One server in particular (gosh I wish I remembered her name!) was very attentive to us and made sure I always had a drink or a bite of the next food item coming out. She was awesome. Also I have to mention that the bartender was a hit with the ladies, haha! The cherry on top was our «to-​go» box at the end of the night, which was adorably packaged and sent back to the hotel with us so that we could enjoy some bites of things we missed during the party. It even included a bottle of champagne! We feel like Crown Point really knocked it out of the park for us!

Crown Point catered our wedding in July. They provided excellent service, set-​up BEAUTIFUL stations, and ALL the food was delicious. Everyone really enjoyed the food and they kept the lines moving! We especially appreciated the to-​go box of food since we didn’t really have time to enjoy the stations ourselves. SO thoughtful.
We also really appreciated them working with us to personalize the catering and décor. We also were having freak-​thunderstorms the morning of our event, and they handled the chaos expertly (including grilling under a tent outside in the rain and pulling food stations inside that ought to have been outside). Everything was beautiful and flowed as though we had meant for it to be that way.

Tonight I attended the second event this year where CROWNE Point was the caterer, and again the food and service were excellent. They had salmon sashimi and it was fantastic.

I wish I could give Crown Point 5 stars, the food was delicious and ALL of our wedding guest were raving about it. I had been corresponding with Ryann through the whole wedding process and she was amazing to work with. Calming my nerves when I got overwhelmed and even telling me to NOT hire a day of coordinator as she would be there for me and my husband on our big day. The day before the wedding at our rehearsal dinner, she introduced us to Leo. She had Leo take the lead and direct the flow of the procession. It was a disaster. Everything was disorganized. Finally, I took Ryann aside and asked her if she was even going to be there for our wedding. She point blankly said no. NO!!! The day before the most important day of our lives… you assured us multiple times of your expertise and guidance and then you aren’t even going to be there??? I was livid but refused to let it spoil things.
Turns out, Leo was a god send! He was on the ball with everything and the whole day went off without a hiccup. I wish I could give Crown Point Catering 5 stars but Ryann’s blatant disregard and unprofessionalism put a small damper on an otherwise perfect day.

Kim and her staff exude professionalism. I have used them twice for a charitable gala and the food is exceptional and the service is top notch! They were helpful in the menu planning tailoring it to my specifications and were so mindful that we are a non-​profit trying to raise money. The staff was efficient with the service and water/​wine glasses were never empty. I’ve used several other caterers for the same event and I’ll never use anyone else but Crown Point.

CPC was amazing to work with! I am pretty much worthless when it comes to planning but they worked so well with my planner, my florist and all my other vendors that it was a perfect fit. At the wedding the food was amazing. I had someone run up to me right after the grand entrance to say «By far the best wedding ever, you have mini California burritos for tray pass!» and I found out later that the poor servers were being attacked by all my guests trying to get at the food. It was that good. Lori and her team were on top of everything! Highly recommend! Thank you for everything!

Worked with Kimberly at Crown Point Catering for our wedding of 140 people. They also provided the bar personnel. We ended up using food stations due to space limitations. Kimberly worked with us to get a perfect menu based upon our requests and offered a lot of helpful suggestions.
The food was incredible and the guests raved about it for days on end.
The servers were very professional and efficient. Would work again with Kimberly and Crown Point in a heartbeat!

Delicious food, beautifully displayed and served; wonderful customer service! Crown Point Catering is second to none; very happy we chose them for the wedding!!!

The team at Crown Point Catering did an absolutely fantastic job on our corporate dinner. Ryann and her team went above and beyond to not only do a beautiful and professional job but they worked hard to stay within our tight budget. As a company we couldn’t be more pleased! I would recommend Crown Point to anyone!

I would like to update to Crown Point’s response. I was very amiable to a solution. However Crown Pointe never emailed me back, and wrote a extremely unpleasant letter to my credit card company, personally attacking me as a person and as a bride. Also, lost of my guests joked and commented on the incredibly small slice of the cakes they received. I guess everyone can be served cake, if each person got a small bite. You can technically serve an small cake slice to 5 people, if everyone just got served a bite, but I would not consider that a regular serving. Overall, it was unprofessional, and personal attacks were unnecessary. An decent apology and amiable agreement to payment would have been sufficient.

The team at Crown Point Catering is fantastic!!! The food tasting went well and they made sure to make the appropriate modifications based on our input. Everything turned out so well. Ryann made the entire process flow smoothly and she was always on top of email communications, which is really nice especially when you’re stressed out from the other wedding details. We had a number of changes here and there and she was super flexible and easy to work with by providing different iterations of our menu until we found the perfect one that fit our budget.
Come the wedding day, the setup was beautiful (from what I remember) and the food smelled delicious. My husband and I didn’t get to really eat (of course), but the staff was nice enough to box up some food for us to eat after the wedding was over. We definitely enjoyed it then because we were starving! They thought of us the entire time and it was really nice knowing that we didn’t have to worry about any of that. The guests really enjoyed our food as well and that it was really unique. We had passed appetizers and food stations around some of our favorite things to eat (i.e. California Burritos, Dim Sum, Pasta, Soups, Ahi Tuna, Grilled Cheese and Tomato Bisque, etc.) it was awesome!
I would definitely use Crown Point Catering again for my next event.

It has been over 6 months since my wedding and I am still beaming over Crown Point Catering services & how much they just made my wedding come together. Jonathon ran a flawless staff & managed the event seamlessly. I was a DYI bride & I relied on Gabbi & her team to decorate the space with items I provided — one meeting together and she totally GOT my style. The décor items they provided for the food tables and the added accessories worked so well with my vision and the overall aesthetic of the event. I am still getting complements from guests on the setting & décor & I have to thank Gabbi for that.
I am also still getting complements on the food. It was high quality and very very delicious. (we went the taco route due to budget concerns).
I would highly recommend Crown Point Catering for your event.

I wish I could give Crown Point Catering, and especially Omar, so many more stars than just 5. Our wedding was amazing, and I will always remember Omar as having a big part in that.
The food was delicious, and all of our guests had nothing but positive things to say about it. The service was great. They had meals ready for my husband and me as soon as we were done with our first dance, to make sure we ate before starting to talk to everyone (which was a huge help).
We didn’t have a wedding planner, and Omar essentially filled this gap, even though this was in no way his job. He was the person I called when it was cold and windy on the morning of our wedding, and he immediately thought of a solution and took care of contacting vendors to get a last-​minute windshield put up and extra heat lamps ordered. He helped us pick linen colors, decorated the food stations so nicely and tastefully, and even added a nice creative touch with some manzanita trees he brought in and decorated with some flowers and lights.
Planning a wedding on your own can be stressful, as many vendors take a long time to respond. Omar was not one of these vendors. He was always very responsive and so incredibly helpful.
On wedding day, he was a calming, kind, and friendly presence. He seemed genuinely happy to be there and to be helping to make our big day beautiful and personal.
I cannot recommend Omar highly enough.

We had already picked out our catering vendor, but decided to conduct a thorough search and have one last tasting with Crown Point Catering for our cocktail party in March 2012. We were blown away with the flavor and creative menu. There were so many great choices to choose from but we were able to narrow it down to 3 appetizers: shrimp skewers, caprese skewers, and the pear and brie quesadilas; three food stations: sliders, raviolis and the dim sum station; and delectable desserts.
We worked with Lori, who was always responsive & helped us whenever we needed suggestions for décor and/​or any changes to make our day flawless. Lori and her entire staff were very attentive and made sure me and my husband were taken care of the day of our party. I felt really comfortable with Lori in charge of our event, she even handled a couple wedding crashers without incident.
We’re thankful for our experience with Crown Point Catering and would highly recommend them to anyone.

This review is long overdue as our wedding was in July of last year but here goes! After extensive research, we decided to go with Crown Point Catering for our wedding in July 2011. The food is awesome as are their event design services. I worked closely with Omar and let me say, he is beyond amazing! He is very professional and has honed his craft after years in the business. He helped us put together an exquisite menu based on the all the foods we love. We ended up doing upscale comfort food stations: sliders, mac & cheese, brie and pear quesadillas, etc. Everyone has raved about the food — the display was beautiful and it tasted even better. Several people have told us that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding — so creative and delicious! We decided not to have a cake but to do an ice cream sundae bar and assorted desserts and candy instead — it looked spectacular!
Omar was a pleasure to work with. He is very responsive to emails and made changes without a fuss to our menu and décor. He has very sophisticated taste and helped us with our linens, chairs and table settings. His entire staff was amazing. We could not have been happier with our experience with them and would highly recommend them to anyone for their next event!

Crown Point just catered our outdoor, backyard wedding this past August, and I have nothing but the best things to say about them. We had to bring in every single item ourselves being that we set up the yard as an event space, which is a very daunting task. They were just on it from the very beginning, and kept out stress level as low as possible.
We loved Omar from the minute we first spoke to him, and only loved him and the company MORE after our tasting, wow! We had stations (a «southern» bbq station, a soft taco bar, and a beef tenderloin carving station) and food was really one of our main concerns for the whole wedding. We wanted spectacular and that’s what we got! Our guests have seriously still been calling and emailing to tell us how much they loved the food and how many times they went back for more!
The on site staff of servers, chefs, bartenders, etc… was SO friendly, helpful and efficient; Omar as stated before was a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process, and Gabby, the event manager, was fantastic the day of. I cannot say enough good things about this team, and I can’t wait to host another event and hire them again!

Their food maybe great, however I had an exceptionally unpleasant server. As far as I am concerned, I can get good food anywhere. Service is what sets a company apart from the competition, and this place falls short. This event was a wedding, and it is a shame to see such a low level of professionalism and service.

I completely echo the sentiments of the last review by Stephanie. Omar went above and beyond to ensure that our day was perfect. He is fun and easy to work with from the initial meeting to the final touches. He worked with us on price and food/​drink options to ensure we were happy and comfortable with everything. He has a good eye for style and design and I felt very comfortable with him.
We had tray passed appetizers and three food stations (ravioli trio bar, short ribs and seafood skewers) and it was delicious! So many people told me it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. The staff was excellent and the presentation was beautiful. Omar made sure we had food to eat at the reception and to-​go boxes at the end of the night, and he worked well with the other vendors to make sure everything was perfect.
I can’t say enough to show my appreciation for Omar. You can’t go wrong with him and Crown Point Catering.

Oh yumminess… I’m still salivating over the ahi poke wontons, the pear and gorgonzola quesadillas, and the chicken corn cakes — and that was just the appetizers! Crown Point Catering was our food & drink provider for our July 2010 wedding in San Diego.
Omar and his staff were exceptional to work with, responsive, creative, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their jobs. Not to mention, our guests seriously loved the food we served (at stations, so people could pick and choose their plates). And as we (the extended family plus the bride and groom) ended up eating leftover food for 3 straight days, and STILL liked it, I can seriously say that the food part of our event was a success.
Omar developed a specialty drink for us — «Cloud Nine» — made with vodka, hypotiq liquor, blue curacuo, and white cranberry juice, topped with white cotton candy — which was just adorable and started off the whole evening right. His staff made sure that we were brought plates of food so we had a moment to scarf down some food (apparently this isn’t commonplace — I think it should be!), and were attentive to our disabled guest, getting her (and us) drinks, food, etc.
We were able to purchase all of our alcohol (Costco & BevMo’s 5-​cent wine sale) and contract with Crown Point to provide the mixers, soft drinks, ice, glasses, and bartending — while we only saved a little bit, we were able to keep the left overs AND we were able to pick the brands we liked. Mr. Tucker particularly appreciated this.
It’s pricey — but good food and good service is worth it.
