Michael’s Catering

Michael’s catering is absolutely fantastic. I can’t speak highly enough of them. We chose Michael’s to cater our wedding reception at La Mirada for 100+ people in September, 2013. Their pricing is VERY REASONABLE… a steal really, for how delicious the food is, and how attentive the staff are. They worked with us for months prior to the event and went above and beyond at every stage. They couldn’t have been more generous, more gracious, or more professional. The food is phenomenal. They offered us a tasting at no cost, and we were blown away by the quality of the food. Victoria, the event manager, took incredible care of us, from beginning to end, as busy as she is. Her creative ideas and openness about pricing options helped us make it all happen under budget. I could go on and on, but I don’ t need to. THANK YOU MICHAEL’S CATERING, and especially thank you Victoria, for all the love, attention, and peace of mind you made possible for us on our big day. Y’all fed our family right, on our big day, and we’re so grateful.

I highly recommend Michael’s catering! They catered my daughters wedding and the food was wonderful and plenty of it. We had a small issue with the plates but it was resolved quickly. I also suggested for a wedding that they offer nicer napkins but otherwise everything was great. They were easy to work with I would definitely use them again. My guests all raved about the food as well. Thanks Terry!

I hired them in Monterey, Ca., about a year ago to cater a special Birthday party for 15 people. the food was good but the servers were slow. I had to work with them and micro manage. This year I thought i would use them to just deliver the same meal without servers. My guests came around 6:45 pm and the food NEVER did. I waited for 30 – 40 minutes, tried calling 3 phone numbers for the company and finally called California Pizza Kitchen. We all were worried that maybe there had been an accident. Luckily this was not a business dinner for clients. 2 guests had to leave the party to pick up the food. The plans for the party had to be changed because the dinner ended up being served 1.5 hrs. after schedule and it was too late to show the movie we had ordered. I sent an email to the manager. I did not hear back from anyone. On Monday @ 10 A.M. I had to initiate a call to the owner Terry Teplitzky. He told me the delivery person had come and there was NO ONE home. I won’t go into details.
The owner of Michael’s should have taken immediate responsibility. He finally got back to me Thursday afternoon with an email explaining the situation.
This mishap was handled in a very unprofessional way. I would be careful and only use them if you like to micro manage events.

We had the pleasure of having these wonderful people cater our wedding at Holman Ranch on April 14^th!
Victoria is the fairy godmother of… well, everything. She is FANTASTIC. She was warm and friendly from the first time I spoke with her, she revised out invoice about a billion times, she was incredibly creative, she paid so much attention to the details… I could go on and on and on, but no words I have can do her justice. She was helpful beyond measure during the months leading up to the wedding, she helped me with countless questions and ideas. The day of the wedding she was like a little hummingbird, flitting all over the place and making everything run smoothly. She was everywhere! I can’t thank her enough for the tremendous amount of work she put in– it made our big day effortless when it came down to it.
The food was incredible, we’re still having people compliment us on it! She and Terry really listened to our ideas and at our tasting they made OUR actual wedding menu. This was the first caterer to do that, most others just made samples of their food… but not OUR food. Our tasting was fantastic with both Victoria and Terry with us. We booked them on the spot!
They did an incredible job the day of the wedding. Our guests were taken care of insanely well, and treated warmly. Everyone was great.
I highly recommend you give Victoria a call if you’re looking for an incredible caterer at a surprisingly realistic price! You will be blown away by the kindness and quality of their services!!!

We decided to use Michael’s Catering for our daughters wedding at Holman
Ranch in April. Victoria worked with my wife and daughter and they had a great experience with her. After meeting with Victoria and Terry (Chef) for a tasting at their business and talking to them we hired them for the wedding. We received a lot of compliments from guests on the food and service. I would definitely use Michael’s for another event.

I highly recommend Michael’s Catering, Wild Thyme Deli and Chef Terry Teplitzky. I’ve attended a number of events they catered and also hired them for a few private events. Their food is always fresh, delicious and served with a smile. If you’re looking for a top-​notch caterer in Monterey County, definitely book Michael’s Catering.
