  • Jaclyn Housner

    Hi Marina! I just wanted to thank you for all your help with our wedding. You seriously went above and beyond and made our day so special. The food was amazing and you were just absolutely amazing. Thank for carrying my dress through the dirt and bringing us appetizers and drinks while we took pictures. You made my stress level go from 20 to zero and everything was just perfect so from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!! Also we have a bunch more of those wood rounds at our house, the ones we used as center pieces. We would be more then happy to give them to you if you are still interested? They aren't sanded but if you want them to be I can have Johnny do that for you. Just let me know and I will get them to you, thanks again Marina and I'll talk to you soon.

  • Lorraine

    Thanks, again for a wonderful meal and evening. You and Victor did a superb job. Bruce said it was like poetry and the way everything was handled so smoothly! I really appreciate all of the clean-up and your putting away the cheese and things like that for me. There was very little for me to do after everyone left, what a pleasure!! Everyone enjoyed the food immensely. You do a great job with the food, presentation and service.I will be in touch no later than very early April regarding the April 16th dinner and once again look forward to it!

  • Linda and Gary

    Thank you so much for the love and professional catering job you and your staff did for our 50th anniversary party! Your hors'doeuvres and tray presentation were delectable including your BBQ chicken, Beef and hotdogs were flavorful all the way through. I'd love to know how you did that Marina. Also we loved the crunchy BBQ yellow-green squash with portobello mushrooms, onions and peppers, pasta and oriental chicken salad. Everyone was fully pleased! We only wish we had room for second helpings. Thank you again for your expertise and your loving kindness.Everything was well organized, planned and served on time. You and your staff should all be commended for a job well done to perfection! We would gladly recommend you to all of our friends and families.

  • Grant and Zoe

    Thank you for all of your assistance with our wedding. You have been a huge help and we will undoubtedly be recommending your services to others in the future. Not only do you make great food, but you are also very organized and a pleasure to deal with.

  • Hilary and Dean

    Barbara and Company catered my wedding this summer in the Santa Cruz mountains - We had a sit-down dinner with passed appetizers before dinner. The food was FANTASTIC. I am a vegetarian but my husband and most of our guests were not. The menu was grilled steak, potatoes, grilled vegetables, vegan polenta lasagna, and several salads. I heard from all of my guests that this was the very best food they'd ever eaten at a wedding. It was certainly one of the best meals I've ever eaten, at a wedding or anywhere. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was incredible. The food was served piping hot and very promptly, with no one waiting for the next course. And all of the staff at Barbara and Company were so professional, friendly, and gracious. Barbara and Company also rented all of the furniture and place settings for our wedding - And the tables were GORGEOUS. We had the wedding in a very rustic outdoor setting, and this could not have been easy for them to accomplish but they made it look easy. My guests were wowed! I can't thank Barbara and Company enough for making this day so beautiful and full of so many pleasant memories.

  • Dawn Pardini

    I can't thank you enough for all your help during the planning process. You were so patient and helpful. The wedding was amazing and went so smoothly because of your staff. The food got rave reviews and the set up looked amazing. I may never have another wedding but you will be the first on my list to recommend to anyone in the future!

  • The Roses

    I wanted to personally thank you and Barbara & Co for everything you did to make my wedding day special. I've heard cothing but great compliments on your food and service. You were tremendously helpful every step of the way. Thank you for everything (especially for bringing the bubbly before the ceremony, i needed that!)
