So so so so excited when I talk about our wedding food! We had a large tented outdoor wedding in December of 300 (!) and had a full and amazing dinner, plus cocktails and appetizers beforehand. Karen is the true definition of a professional at her job -- and she goes the extra mile to make it an art! During our tasting I felt like a queen, and there wasn't a single dish that didn't blow me and my fiance out of the water (and he's a rather picky eater!).
We had people coming up to us ON THE DANCE FLOOR just to grab us and tell us how incredible the food was. "Best food I've ever had.and not just 'at a wedding!'" We made several large changes in the week leading up to our wedding as well that greatly affected the menu (like adding a second main course!).and Karen handled it like a champ. Grilled Prime Beef Tri-Tip Steaks, roasted Salmon w/ lemon, herbs and basil butter, the most gorgeous persimmon salad w/ arugula. just to whet your appetite a bit. :) So thankful for this chef and her expertise and attention to detail! I felt so comfortable and at peace in her hands. Thank you, Karen and Savoir Faire Team!

We had a vineyard inspired wedding in Solvang and choose Savior Faire because the food is sourced locally and was amazing at our tasting. As we got closer to the wedding we were informed that we'd need to rent several pieces of servingware, chafing dishes and even an oven. Begrudgingly we did as we wanted the menu we agreed to several months earlier.
We just wished that Karen told us early on so we could account for it in our budget. The food was excellent and the staff was ok. Guests at the wedding said they saw the staff taking leftover food to their van and asked that they leave it at the residence. The part the upsets me the most is that now, 4 months later, the owner has not returned servingware from the rental company that she admitted has. I've asked several times for her to return it and now I have to pay for the cost of the items and the rental fees. She's now ignoring my calls and emails. Her fresh faire is amazing, just dont agree to rent any equipment and keep an eye on the leftovers!

I have to admit that our wedding was eighteen years ago, and we're still happily married, thank you very much, but both my wife and I loved the food at our wedding, even though we didn't get to eat it until we were in the hotel room. The catered had saved us a couple of plates to take with us and even cake. We were having so much fun that we forgot to eat. Thank you Savoir Faire, I hope you're still making yummy food for a reasonable price.
