Fundraisers present a unique challenge - the event must be elegant, but it's important to contain costs. We have many ways to make that happen. There's nothing like a Jewish celebration! We can help you plan a Bar Mitzvah, Passover, Break the Fast, Chanukah or any other gathering.

It feels like I have always been interested in food and cooking. One of my earliest memories is being in the kitchen with my grandmother. Grandma Tini loved to bake, and when she did, the kitchen was filled with the aromas of cinnamon and vanilla. When she took a beautiful cake out of the oven, her face broke into a smile, and she placed it on the table like a gift she was giving to the family.
This is a comment heard at many of our events, as guests enjoy the food we have presented. Our ingredients are the best available from local growers who use sustainable farming practices. Using recipes that enhance the fresh flavors and colors of the food itself, we design the presentation to reflect the feeling of your event.
Your event planner will listen as you describe your vision. What is the most important part of your wedding? What worries you the most? If you aren't sure just what you want, she will talk with you about the alternatives available. Your choice of location may set the tone for your reception. Is a buffet the best, or is the site more suited to a served meal?
From our initial phone conversation, we will learn about your event - the location, theme, type of auction, and financial goals. From black tie served dinners to international buffets, we take charge of the event details and allow you to focus on the hard work of making a difference in the organization that you serve.

Delicious! catered my daughter's wedding at the Mill Valley Golf Clubhouse and they were outstanding to work with. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, both appetizers and dinner, but it was beautifully presented and graciously and elegantly served. I did my own wedding planning and organizing, yet was expertly supported in layout and aesthetic choices by Teresa Hammond, my main contact, and several decisions during set up by the catering staff.
Their attention to detail - wanting this wedding to be as beautiful and delicious as I did - and their professionalism, enabled me, the wedding party and the guests, to enjoy with ease and confidence an unforgettable day. I have received numerous comments by my guests that it was one of the most memorable weddings they attended. I recommend Delicious! Catering highly and look forward to when I can use them again.

Delicious! catered our wedding at the Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley and they were absolutely incredible. I am gluten-free and vegan and really wanted a wedding meal that I could eat and they absolutely went above and beyond. They create a delicious meal (including appetizers) that was fully gluten-free and vegan and one that even the meat-eaters loved.
The staff was so well organized, professional and easy to work with on the day of the wedding. And Teresa was instrumental in our planning and ensuring the whole day went off without a hitch. Thank you Delicious! xoxoxo

It's hard to overstate just how big of a role Delicious played in the planning and execution of our wedding. They really were more than just a caterer -- from knowing our venue inside and out to having existing relationships with our other wedding vendors, the expertise and grace they brought to our wedding planning experience was invaluable. From our initial tasting, to postponing in the pandemic, to serving incredibly delicious food on our big day, it was a pleasure to work with Teresa and the rest of the Delicious team. We had many guests tell us how wonderful the food was (the ultimate compliment)! Highly recommend Delicious Catering for your event!

Delicious catered our wedding at the Outdoor Art Club and they were just wonderful! Delicious came highly recommended by our venue and we looked at a bunch of caterers but Delicious was reasonably priced, Teresa was a great communicator, we loved that Delicious does a lot of non profit work and the food was fresh and tasty! Teresa was so helpful all along the way and guided us so much-she was extremely familiar with our venue and that made everything a lot easier also!
The staff were so sweet and kind and welcoming and made it so we didn't have to worry about anything on our big day. We are so glad we went with Delicious and are so grateful to the whole team!

Love getting our weekly dinner from Delicious Catering! You can pickup your meal in the afternoon, and heat it up that night! The salads and soups are great for lunch. It is more convenient to have your dinner at home and relax and eat it at your leisure. Food is excellent and the staff is very friendly.

I am so glad i found this option. Better than Good Eggs for prepared food. Giant portions. I live alone and drive 5 miles to san rafael and never get out of the car to pick up. Everything i have gotten has been delicious (no joke) and nutritious too. Just call when you're there and they bring it right out to put in trunk or back seat. Twp portion meals last me three meals every time.
Pick up a side salad with your meals and your dinners are ser for the next three days. All staff couldn't be more personable and helpful. Support this business until parties can begin again. I hit the jackpot!

We had an amazing experience with Delicious!, who catered our September wedding in San Francisco. From my first interaction with Teresa, I felt cared for and understood. She was thoughtful and incredibly helpful, setting up the perfect menu based on our specifications, aesthetic, and budget. Teresa did everything she could to make sure there was no stress on us as the couple and that everything was handled professionally and with care.
After our initial tasting with Delicious!, I felt a wave of relief and we instantly knew we wanted to move forward with them. On the big day, everything was wonderful. The staff was considerate and well dressed, the bar was set up perfectly, they handled all of the set up, tear down, rentals, and alcohol delivery. And, of course, the food was delicious! Don't hesitate to book with these lovely people! To boot, they are one of the only certified green caterers in the area. Thanks, Teresa!

We first contacted delicious due to the referral a close friend provided. We went to the tasting and it was great. After confirming via email they would do our wedding, we waited a couple days for the proposal. It was weird cuz they constantly emailed us, and after we said yes they stopped. We followed up due to not receiving the official proposal in which they responded they would send one the next day so we could make a deposit.
We had the deposit ready. They stated to not delay in the deposit and were very adamant about us paying, as they were for the tasting. Mind you there was not much time before our wedding, they knew how pressed for we were, and we did not delay in confirming we wanted them to cater. The next day they emailed stating although we confirmed they could not do our wedding.
I get if you are unable to but they made a lot of empty promises. In my opinion, we found caterers we could communicate more openly with. I was very appreciative the owner contacted me. We definitely were both able to speak and she was very professional. I'm glad she heard me out and we could both be honest. The food was great at the tasting. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with the taste if they cater your event.

The food was fantastic! That's all the positive I have to say. We had them cater our backyard wedding of 150 in June 2016. They wanted cash or check for a discount. We gave them a credit card just to hold our date and a check after the event. They charged us the credit card rate anyway even when we paid with a check. Also they were hounding my in-laws the day after the wedding took place for payment; which was a Sunday mind you.
Their pricing was higher than the caterers we got quotes from along the penninsula, however since they were closer to our venue we decided to go with them. They were supposed to have 4 bartenders and prepaid cocktails going around during our cocktail hour. When I arrived my entire guest list was in 2 lines waiting 45 mins to get a single cocktail from 2 bartenders that were extremely rude.
I had a special bottle for the groomsman and myself and the bartender told me I needed to leave and get in line, at my own wedding! By the time the food came out it was cold and the help they hired to break down tables after dinner to make room for the dance floor was a joke. They looked like college kids home for the summer that were stoned. They were so slow at breaking down the tables and chairs my guests clears out the chairs and tables while they watched. Delicious was the only bad part of my wedding and I will never recommend them to anyone unless all your doing is picking up trays of food.

Jan and her team recently helped us host a kiddush for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. As a single mom and new to the kiddush hosting gig, I was going in a 1000 directions and had no clue about how these things get done in the background. Jan et al were fantastic in the planning phase - Jan was happy to share her expertise in all logistics decisions and made sure to stay in touch with me every step of the way.
Whenever I called, a live person answered the phone and was able to help me - and always with a great attitude. The food was absolutely Delicious! Many people came up to me to comment on how tasty everything was, and they're a hard group to please. I'd hire Jan and her team again in a heartbeat.

I can't say enough good things about Delicious! Catering. They saved my sanity and mood numerous times throughout our wedding planning process with their wit, grace, and humor. Teresa and Leigh and are experienced event professionals who really listen to you in terms of wedding vibe or aesthetic and work with you to make your day as stress-free as possible-and that's just leading up to the event!
The food was amazing and got to the root of the celebration of Northern California that my now husband and I wanted. Additionally, they understood our desire to integrate my family's Louisiana roots through the hors d'oeuvres. The biggest compliment was when a friend of mine, who is a professional, very experienced event planner told me she loved the food!
I would recommend Delicious! Catering every day and twice on Sundays. I loved every minute of working with Delicious! Catering and hope I have the opportunity to experience their hospitality in the future.

Delicious! was a pleasure to work with as I planned my wedding from across the country. Communication was always clear and friendly, and when we had to postpone our wedding once due to delays in visa processing they worked with us to find and secure a new date, and then again to revise our bid for a wedding with suddenly half the number of guests.
As we began to nail down other vendors (such as a cakemaker, photographer, and flower arrangements) they took down contact information and coordinated arrival schedules brilliantly. From beginning to end, all the folks from Delicious! really did their utmost to make sure that we didn't have to worry about anything on the actual day of the wedding, making sure that things ran smoothly (and moving the reception up a little bit when it seemed like the cocktail hour had run its course).
This included the little things, and I'm sure our photographer would like to thank the chef who straightened my bowtie for me. All of our guests loved the food, with many of them saying it was easily among their top wedding meals, and the care they took in planning a menu around the requests we made at the start (dairy/parve-ish) shone through. I can't recommend them highly enough -- thank you for making my wedding day so special.

Delicious catered my daughter's wedding last weekend. It was positively perfect! Lara listened to every idea we had and incorporated all of it into one of the best wedding menus I've ever seen. Wedding guests raved about everything. They loved the taco bar (offering duck with hoisin as well as chicken tacos) and lamb chops, among other appetizers during our cocktail hour (and a half!).
Dinner was family style offering both tri tip with chimichurri sauce and a chicken with risotto cakes that were to die for. Everything was served exactly on time and servers were wonderful. Even during the planning of the event, Delicious had wonderful recommendations for other services. I have actually worked with Jan (the owner) and Delicious for many years for various things, but never anything quite this big.or important! Their experience counted for a lot. They were such a pleasure to work with and we'll be forever grateful!

We worked with Teresa at Delicious Catering and could not have been more happy with the support and guidance we received from her. She was incredibly helpful in determining what we could make work with our budget, and she also showed a lot of excitement in trying to plus our theme and bring some personalization to our menu and table setting. The food was fantastic and we have received several compliments from guests on the quality of the food.
We love cooking and eating and having good food for our guests was very important to us. Delicious Catering definitely delivered on that. We highly recommend Delicious Catering to anyone looking to book a great caterer for their upcoming wedding or event.

So so happy to have found Leigh and the folks at Delicious Catering to cater our event this summer in Marin. We loved everything about the experience we had with this company. The initial communication was straightforward and courteous, the food quality great, the staff extremely professional, the service and hospitality outstanding. From the moment we stepped through the front door for our first meeting and tasting we knew we were in good hands. Leigh is amazing at her job.
She walked us through every step of the process with ease and grace, asked good questions and made helpful suggestions along the way. I worked in the catering business for many years and know what it takes to pull off a successful event and make clients happy. Delicious Catering delivered on every level. They paid attention to the details and were extremely customer focused, wanting to make sure all of our guests were completely satisfied.
They took the time to refine the menu and truly cared about the food they were serving. They were friendly, courteous and easy to deal with throughout the process. They pulled off a difficult task under challenging circumstances without complaint. I would hire them again in a minute and strongly recommend them to anyone for their next event, big or small. This is an A+ company. The Bay Area is very lucky to have them.

We had Leigh and the Delicious team cater our wedding at the Mill Valley Outdoor Art Club and we were blown away not only by the quality of the food, but also by the great help we got organizing and planning the event. Leigh was super well organized; at our first tasting, she already had a floorplan for our venue ready so we could start to sketch the layout, and throughout the planning process, we knew everything was in good hands.
She coordinated with our other vendors and the venue to get the setup just right and make sure deliveries were all sorted out. The food was, of course, delicious -- simple fare excellently sourced and prepared -- we got lots of rave reviews from our guests. Leigh worked with us to make sure anyone with dietary restrictions would still get plenty to eat, and she took care of my wife and I on the day of, making sure we got plenty of food and drink amid the fun chaos of the wedding.
The week before our wedding, we realized it was going to be cold and possibly rainy, and Leigh expertly handled rearranging the whole floorplan, coordinated with her staff to flip the room where the indoor ceremony would be held to make room for the buffet. She swapped around rentals to add outdoor heaters, which were a lifesaver when the rain cleared up and guests were able to be outside in the sun without freezing. We highly recommend Delicious Catering, and Leigh Rafkin in particular, for catering any event.

Food - 10/10 Service - 10/10 Value - 10/10 Quality - 10/10 HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I have Celiac Disease, meaning that I can't have any gluten. There are some other people in my family that have the same issue. Delicious was able to cater these no problem and made things seamless from beginning of planning to when we were so hungry after everything was over.
I want to have another party someday just to hire them. Seriously. They rock. Oh, I should mention - this was for our wedding. We got married on 10/15/16 in San Francisco! Yay!

Tasty, Healthy Boxed lunches for teens! Our business runs 30+ swim camps per year geared towards collegiate-hopefuls. Our camps take place all over the country and we use local caterers for each event for lunch needs. This was our first experience with Delicious catering and from A to Z, they delivered. Food was fresh, healthy, wholesome, and plentiful. Choices were varied by day. Allergies and special dietary concerns were met with professionalism and timeliness. Deliveries were on time and well-organized. Teresa was our catering representative and really took care of us in ways that most caterers cannot. Thank you Teresa and staff.

My office had food catered in today from Delicious Catering, and was it Delicious! We had the following 4 options: Pad Thai Salad with Beef Pad Thai Salad with Chicken Aram Chicken Salad Sandwich Aram Sundried Tomatoes and Feta Cheese Sandwich I chose the Pad Thai Salad with Chicken. The noodles had a mix of shredded carrots, mixed greens, pickled peppers, fresh herbs, and a light dressing.
It was topped with moist roasted sliced chicken breast. Fresh fruit and two bite sized pieces of moist cake were on the side. Everything was seasoned and flavored just right. The right portion size without being too much. Would definitely consider using them for my next event.

We asked Jan Goldberg with Delicious Catering to help us with the reception for our daughter's wedding. Jan not only brought expert food planning but also layout of the location and bar selections. Her manner was warm and friendly, from the food choices to the day of the wedding. The staff was very professional. Several guests mentioned that the food was the best they ever had at a wedding!
