Fraiche Catering

We used Fraiche catering for our small (40 person) wedding in October 2015. Overall, we were very pleased with the food and service that Fraiche provided. We worked most closely with Danielle, and found her to be very responsive by phone/​email. The food tasting was a total blast – it was awesome to be wined and dined as they helped us select our delicious, seasonal menu. Our wedding guests really enjoyed the food, especially the desserts (the crème brûlée puffs were an especially big hit).
We did have some oddities with the billing/​payments to Fraiche catering. When we first started working with Fraiche they were considered the «in house» caterer for our venue. However, there were some changes during that time which caused Fraiche to bill us directly instead of through our venue. However, we chalk this up to some inefficiencies at the venue rather than issues on Fraiche’s end. And, Danielle was very helpful in getting things straightened out.

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with the Fraiche catering team last week at an event. I must say that the service experience is top notch. Danielle Sommers is one of the sweetest, and detailed Events Director in the industry, and the presentation and food quality speaks for itself. I would absolutely recommend Fraiche catering for your private or corporate event. What a lovely team!

Recently used Fraiche for an intimate event. From the very first contact the staff was warm and friendly. They arranged for every detail and made the event go smoothly. The day of the event the staff was so attentive and catered to everyone’s needs.
The food was fabulous! Every item was absolutely delicious. I will be using them again for for upcoming special events.

My husband and I worked with Fraiche Catering for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! Our wedding was at my husband’s grandparent’s house on the outskirts of Walnut Creek, meaning everything had to be brought in. Danielle, with assistance from Caitlin, were super helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process, and ensured all of our rental needs were taken care of. Not only was the food delicious (guests kept raving about the bacon wrapped filet, as well as the mini hamburger appetizer), but everything from the tables to the chairs, to the linens, were just spectacular. Fraiche made it so easy on us! Highly recommended!

I have worked with Fraiche Catering several times, and I cannot say enough about the level of professionalism, the quality of the product and service, and the flexibility exhibited by Danielle and her staff.
We always hire Fraiche to cater our Dessert Dash events as well as other outdoor programs. Danielle makes sure that we get exactly what we want, under budget, and our clients are thrilled every time. The amazing thing about Fraiche is their ability to provide for a wide range of tastes and budgets. Many catering companies are rigid, but Fraiche is a pleasure to work with because they love to be creative.
I can’t recommend them anymore than 5 stars, but I can guarantee that if you have a special social or corporate occasion coming up, you’d be crazy not to talk to Danielle!

We hired Fraiche to do the catering at our wedding last week, and my wife and I were extremely satisfied with everything that they did: the food was delicious, the dinner and appetizer service was impeccably performed, and the planning and communication with Danielle, Fraiche’s representative, was always prompt, professional and painless.
We booked a tasting with Fraiche about 4 months before the wedding was to be held, and immediately were impressed with the quality of their food & service. Danielle suggested for us to bring a couple of friends with us to the tasting, and we were so grateful to have their opinions so we could have that extra bit of confidence in our choices for entrees and appetizers. We had picked a number of things from their impressively broad menu, and everything that we tasted was delicious and fresh.
At the wedding dinner itself, everything was perfectly prepared and presented, and the servers were always attentive without being underfoot. We had chosen to have the dishes served family-​style, as we had a smaller, more intimate dinner, and it worked out perfectly; dishes were hot and delicious, and the platters were a perfect balance between being passable between guests and having more than enough food for each section of the dinner table. During the reception, appetizers were circulated by servers throughout, and every server was extremely professional and polite.
Danielle was on site during the wedding, and helped keep everything running smoothly throughout the dinner and the reception; we simply had no issues with any aspect of the food or service throughout the entire wedding! My wife and I would definitely use Fraiche again for any event that we would have catered, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-​notch caterer for whatever event you might be planning!

It has been three months since my wedding (July 2014) and guests are STILL coming to me to let me know that they have never had better food at a wedding– specifically, each appetizer (especially the scallops and the chicken pops), the cheese plates, the heirloom tomato salad stacked, each entrée– the pancetta wrapped filet mignon and the miso butterfish, and the service… So pretty much everything. Seriously, every guest I have spoken to after the wedding has commented on the delicious food– and these are Bay Area/​SF guests who are used to some gooood food!
Laura and the team were such a delight to work with. I knew that everything was in good, caring, and thoughtful hands from the very beginning. Many many many thanks to Fraiche for making our wedding a truly delicious treat.

We wanted to have a simple outdoor brunch for our out-​of-​town guests the day after our daughter’s wedding. Fraiche Catering was the perfect choice! I wanted something special yet simple, and they provided exactly what we wanted. The food was delicious and displayed beautifully, and the 2 servers did a wonderful job of keeping platters refreshed and the area tidy. We are very happy that we chose them to cater this event!

Danielle and her staff at Fraiche Catering are the catering service you are seeking. The food choices are both plentiful and difficult to choose from, because you will want everything once you see their menu. The staff is professional and the platters are always full and the guests amazed at the array of delicious treats. Fraiche has catered our company party two years in a row and we will continue to hire them whenever we need a caterer.

Fraiche is currently working to cater and coordinate my wedding reception scheduled for next year. Danielle Sommers is absolutely AMAZING and has bent over backwards for me on so many occasions to ensure pricing, presentation, & so much more are up to my standards and preference! We had issues with our venue after we had signed the contract and Danielle worked to find us another space that fit our needs. Fraiche has been an absolute blessing to a stressed out bride! I would highly recommend!

We used Fraiche Catering to plan and cater our wedding reception the past October. Danielle of Fraiche Catering, was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. She took our vision and helped make it a reality. We couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect after it was all over. It was everything we wanted it to be and more! Danielle is great at listening, suggesting ideas, and the staff that she has and the vendors she partners with are all incredible and deliver the BEST products! Everyone loved the food at our reception, it was not only delicious, but memorable, and she helped us to create a loving and beautiful reception that was reflective of the two of us as a couple. It’s such an important part of the process to have someone that shares and understands what you are looking to accomplish on your special day. Thank you Danielle and Fraiche Catering! We would recommend you to anyone!

We had Fraiche cater our wedding reception and it was awesome! We wanted the food to be really good and our guests said that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Everyone was raving about the scallop appetizer and considering the number of guests that we had, the fish and steak that we had for our main course was still done to perfection! The service was also impeccable! Thank you for making our wedding reception so memorable! I would recommend Fraiche Catering to anyone!

Our 40^th high school reunion last weekend at the Veteran’s Hall in Lafayette was a wonderful event. With all the fun that goes along with seeing old and dear friends, the highlight of the event was Fraiche Catering’s amazing food! Anyone who can pull off a delicious, perfect risotto for 130 people has my esteem! The roasted veggies and apple pecan salad were wonderful as were the chicken, appetizers and dessert. And the presentation – spectacular! Really. They’ll be the ones I call for my next event!

So a big thank you to Danielle and even Patrick (who was in the kitchen) for my father’s memorial service event. Coordination was great, food was great and the price was right! Nice work and we’ll be sure to use you again whether we have 250 or 25 and we’re looking for a caterer Fraiche is it! Thanks again!

I had them cater an event at my home and I was so impressed. I will most definitely have them cater my next event!
They provided me and my guests with impeccable customer service, and honestly the best food i’ve had in a long time!
Their desserts are to DIE for and my personal favorites are the Farmers Market Salad and the Mashed potatoes. Not only does the food taste amazing, but it is always presented so elegantly and professionally.
I highly recommend Fraiche Catering to anyone who’s looking to cater any type of event– they can do it all!
