Bekker's catered our son's small back yard wedding and were super professional and effective from start to finish. We never felt that we were "too small" to warrant their full attention and best service. Food was delicious and the staff were attentive and efficient. So glad we went with them!

If there were 10 stars, I would select all! Bekker's Catering catered my daughters wedding in February and did a FANTASTIC job. From the beginning to the end, they were very professional and accommodating. We had tray passed appetizers (Spinach & Feta Stuffed mushrooms, coconut shrimp, teriyaki meat balls) very delicious. The main course was a custom coastal cuisine: Chicken Breast in Garlic Herb Sauce, Herb Encrusted Salmon, Garlic Mashed Potatoes with Gravy, Grilled Mediterranean Vegetable and a Pink Lady Salad.

Everything was cooked to perfection. We also hired two bartenders from Bekker's and they were extremely courteous and accommodating to our guests. I received so many compliments on the food and the service. To-date, I am still receiving compliments. I highly recommend Olga and her Team!

Thank you for catering the Johnson-Avila wedding! The food was delicious. I loved the individual stations. The staff members were all courteous and professional. We were attending from a small town in NC and met a bartendress that had gone to college there. (Catawba).

Bekker's catering was great all around. Delicious food, fantastic service & people. We had an event with 130. We ordered apps, full dinner, and deserts for only the delivery service. Everything was delivered securely wrapped and still HOT! They set up everything on the tables and all we had to do was unwrap it. Will definitely be using them again! :

First and foremost wow! The service. I contracted Bekker for an event here at our company's retirement and the food and service was so great. We had Jossie, Brad, and Colten helping us. They were so attentive just on it when I needed anything. We have been getting nothing but great compliments on the food and service. Will definitely call Bekkers again!

Really, really good food, pleasant staff and they were flexible and helpful. They set up a pizza station, a taco and quesadilla station, had mac and cheese, fresh spring rolls and sliders for my guests. All the food and service was perfect. They have catered my last two birthday parties and I would use them again in a heartbeat.

There are a lot of things to be impressed with by Bekker's. First their staff: always quick to respond to emails/phone calls, easy to work with in regards to accommodating COVID changes, and overall extremely friendly and easy to work with. The service: Bekker's catered our wedding and we were relieved the food was something we knew we wouldn't have to worry about.

They were on time, brought everything we asked for and set things up in an appealing fashion. The food: We went with their Italian course and could not have been happier with our choice. The food was delicious and all of our guests left happy and full! They packaged the leftover food and cake for us to enjoy later on as well

VERY GREAT AND HELPFUL PEOPLE! My fiance and I decided soon after the tasting that we need to stick with these people for our Wedding! Incredible food, especially the shrimp tacos. I recommend to come to this incredible place, very nice prices too! You won't be disappointed!

I called Bekker's for our Holiday Party and really enjoyed working with them. Rita was our coordinator and helped me choose the menu and what we needed when I first called not even knowing what I really wanted. She offered our vegetarians their own buffet line which really shows that they value every customer. They were able to pivot quickly when the bad weather unexpectedly moved us indoors at the last minute. Jesus was an amazing day of point of contact and the rest of the crew that showed up for the event was just great! Our employees enjoyed themselves and many remarked on the food quality. I would work with them again any time.

My husband and I hosted a Celebration of Life for my mother. I was so pleased with the food, everyone loved it. Jeanette, Martha and Lorena were wonderful with their great attitude, and exceptional service. They took charge and set up everything beautifully. Jeanette made wonderful suggestions on placement. They were all a big help during this difficult time. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you! And Bekkers of course for all the delicious food!

Our Holiday Party was a success due in part to the delectable food and caring service given to us by the team at Bekker's and more specifically, our attendants, Josie and James! They were fantastic! Throughout the whole evening they were attentive, efficient, thoughtful and communicative all with a smile on their faces! So great! We will definitely be back again next year! THANK YOU so much! If you have a function and you are looking for a caterer, do not hesitate in contacting Bekker's!

We used Bekker's to cater our wedding and they were wonderful! We started the process right before the pandemic shut things down in March of 2020 but were able to have a tasting and the food was so good. We were really blown away by how good literally everything we tried was! They were so accommodating working with our 3 date changes, menu changes, eighty bazillion questions, etc. At the reception, the food was a hit and the staff was excellent. Wonderful experience and we would recommend them to anyone needing catering for an event!

We love working with Bekker's! We are an event venue and Bekker's makes it easy to provide our clients with the best food service for their events. I always recommend them to clients because they are friendly, communicative, and will help you through each step in creating your menu. The best part about Bekker's is their amazing staff as well.

Crew Cheif James is the man to ask for! Not only does he serve with a big smile but his catering layouts and managing of the event make everything easy. With him and his awesome master assistance Lorena in charge you don't need to worry about a thing. I ask for James and Lorena every time and so should you! Thanks, James, Lorena, and the Bekker's Team for all your hard work! See you at our venue again soon! The Point

Bekker's made me look like a hero at the seminar I had them cater for us. Their holiday feast package impressed our guests and I received multiple compliments on our food. The holiday staples of green bean casserole, stuffing, mashed potatoes, paired perfectly with a succulent ham. Juicy turkey breast, and an awesome tri tip for a little San Diego flavor. I can't wait to work with them again!

Bekkers was amazing the day of our wedding! My (now) husband and I were very indecisive with our menu selection and our budget. The team at Bekkers helped us decide on a menu, add on selections, as well as helped work around our budget! Everyone loved the food and the staff that were present that day were awesome as well! I cannot highly recommend them enough! Thank you again!

We hired Bekker's for our wedding day catering and bar service and were very happy with our choice! So many of our guests told us it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! The meat-eaters loved the prime rib and chicken in cream sauce and the vegetarians loved the red pepper pasta and roasted veggies. Our guests also commented on how nice the bartenders were.

We mainly worked with Kimberly who was super helpful throughout our planning process, including drafting an alcohol order estimate for us. Everyone we spoke to at Bekker's was kind and willing to spend time answering our questions. We highly recommend Bekker's especially with the reasonable prices they offer!

We recently had Bekker's cater our daughter's baby shower. They provided an amazing brunch selection, which included crepes, waffles and an omelette station among several other options. The food was great and the staff members who managed the event were absolutely wonderful. They came in and set everything up and it looked beautiful. They were all so personable and made all of our guests feel catered to without being intrusive. So, a special thank you to James, Josie, Marcelo and Tera. Bekker's handled everything from beginning to end seamlessly.

Beginning with the booking process with Kimberly, who arranged the menu selections, tables, chairs, linens- everything. To the end, where everything was taken away and cleaned as if there had never been an event. We highly recommend Bekker's Catering and will definitely use their services again for our next event.

Bekker's Catering assisted my company with our 21st Anniversary Celebration and it was a wonderful evening thanks to them! They showed up early, they were efficient in their service, and polite to our employees and other vendors. The food was delicious and the decor they brought in added to the atmosphere. They took a lot of weight off my shoulders in regards to the event planning and for that I am grateful! I would highly recommend Bekker's!

We have been using Bekker's for the last several years for our Company's BBQ and they do not miss a beat. Olga and her team are amazing! They are always well-organized, quick to respond and even dress up to theme of your party. Their food quality and price is hard to beat! They really are the best catering company to work with because you can do it all through them. Russ and James are always a pleasure to have as the team leads for the event day. We look forward to our next event with them!

Look no further for your catering needs! I am a wedding coordinator here in San Diego and I work with Bekker's Catering often at different venues. I have nothing but positive things to say about the entire Bekker's crew! From the quick, friendly and organized email correspondence with Kimberly and Tatiana to the entire hard working service staff! James is THE - BEST!

He always goes above and beyond on a wedding day! He is so hard working and kind to the other staff members and all guests! He is so experienced and dedicated, you will be so lucky if he is on your crew for your wedding or event! He makes every step of the event day from unloading the truck, set up of guest tables, buffet and other tables, to serving the buffet, cutting the cake and all along having a positive and happy attitude to guests and staff :) Bekker's Catering has amazing food also!

There is always plenty for guests to come back for seconds at the buffet if they choose to. Honestly - you can't go wrong withI cannotI cannot say one thing negative about Bekker's! Hire them for your next catered event! :)

James was a Godsend! On Sunday, Oct. 10, 2021, I was the wedding coordinator for a beautiful wedding. James was my point person for the day and let me tell you, things went a lot smoother with him being there! He seriously helped me problem solve issues from other vendors while still making made sure the food was good to go and on time to serve. We had some particularly straining circumstances at Sunday's wedding but James and his team helped tremendously!

They were pleasant and worked hard to get the food out in a smaller space than probably preferred, they never complained and only brought positivity. It was so nice to work with them! The food was great too! The setup was beautiful. I had salmon and it was delicious. The cesar salad was also particularly good! BUT, the service was what stood out to me the most! James, thanks again for all your help and hard work!

If you are looking for a caterer for your wedding, STOP! You've found them. Bekker's is truly amazing. We just got married on 8/28/2021 and I wanted to get this post on immediately. We had started out thinking we would need to find our own food, company for chairs, person for alcohol service (bar), set-up for entire reception (us) etc. NOPE!

One stop shop. Tatiana right from the start was amazing! Very accommodating to our every request. She put us at ease every step of the way. The food was amazing, the set-up and tear down was nothing short of phenomenal! Professional people everywhere from their bartender to their cook to their wait staff to their set-up/tear down gang! Great job, can't tell you how many compliments we got about the evening and that was due in a large part to Bekker's.

My husband and I were so excited to have Bekker's cater our wedding after searching for a long time for the perfect caterer. They worked with our budget and had delicious food! I was so impressed by how quickly they responded to my multiple emails asking various questions. The food tasting to pick what we wanted to serve at the wedding was very helpful. Everyone we communicated with was helpful, professional, and kind.

Bekker's catered my backyard wedding reception. I loved that I could do it all with one company, including all rentals, food, servers, and coordinator. From the beginning planning stages to after the wedding, they were such a pleasure to work with. In particular, Tatianna was in charge of my event and was amazing! My first inquiry phone call, she asked if I had free time and had no problem discussing several options that we could select from and design our menu. Tatianna was great in that when ever I had questions she had an answer and several ideas to go along with it and would respond within one day.

I made several different menu changes over the weeks leading up and she was quick to send an updated Quote. She made our backyard wedding reception come to life. During our food tasting there were several items that we absolutely loved and others that we asked if it was ok to bring some home favorites our selves. She said no problem that we bring that and that Bekkers would take care of plating it.

I described the theme that I had wanted and she had the appetizer table and dessert table decorated appropriately. I had also mentioned that myself and the groom LOVED the salmon but decided to have the chicken/tri tip for the guests because we weren't sure that everyone loved seafood. On our wedding day, she remembered that and had the salmon on only our plates which I thought was extremely thoughtful that she personalized that for us.

The day of servers and bartender were excellent as well. We received so many compliments with our wedding regarding the food/backyard setting. Bekker's/Tatianna went above and beyond for us and made wedding planning that much easier. I can't wait to use them again for future events that we have and recommend to anyone looking to plan an event!
