We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Bekker’s Catering. We utilized Bekker’s for catering, rentals, and wedding coordination - making it a one-stop option for all your wedding planning needs. From start to finish, they exceeded every expectation. The food was absolutely delicious AND AFFORDABLE! Our guests kept raving about the buffet, especially the tri-tip and desserts! The team was incredibly efficient, ensuring that everything ran smoothly especially since we did a “room flip” from ceremony to reception seating. And most importantly, we HAVE to highlight our wedding coordinator, Kimberly - what an absolute gem! Ms. Kimberly is HEAVEN SENT. Her expertise, calm demeanor, and ability to adapt to any situation made the day completely stress-free for us - and I truly mean stress free! If you’re looking for a company that delivers exceptional food, outstanding service, and a wedding coordinator who will truly go above and beyond, this is the team to choose. Our wedding day was literally a dream come true and we attribute it all to Kimberly and the Bekker’s Catering team. We can’t thank them enough for the perfect wedding!
EXCEPTIONAL food and service!! I’m convinced Bekker’s is the best catering company in the business in San Diego. I hired them for my wedding and from the initial phone consultation, through planning meetings, and the event itself, I felt completely taken care of by every single staff member. One of the owners, Olga, went over my menu with me in such detail—we were so impressed! Everyone is thoughtful, detail-oriented, kind, and professional. I felt like a priority because they take the time to listen to what you want and offer great suggestions based on their decades of experience! You can trust Bekker’s do an excellent job- the execution of my wedding reception was flawless. A special shout-out to Allison, my day-of wedding coordinator from Bekker’s! She is amazing AND YOU SHOULD HIRE HER AND BEKKER’S for your wedding coordination with Bekker's—BEST decision ever. Thank you to Olga, Allison and the whole team at Bekker’s for making my wedding incredible for me, my husband, and all our guests!!
Our venue used Bekkers Catering for our wedding and it was absolutely AMAZING! our guests are still talking about hoe delicious all the food was and we absolutely loved the tri tip carving station. We absolutely loved having them on our big day and would select them again. Thank you Bekker's for making out big day so memorable!!
We had a fantastic experience with Bekker's Catering! The food was absolutely delicious and very affordable, and their customer service was incredible. Even with all the details they had to handle, the team was so patient in helping us choose the perfect table linens and answering every question we had.
We decided to go with bamboo plates, cloth napkins, and metal silverware, which not only fit our garden theme beautifully but was also a very budget-friendly option. The farm tables they provided were gorgeous, adding an extra touch to the overall atmosphere.
The entire team was lovely, and our guests kept mentioning how kind the bartenders were—the friendliest they've ever met! Bekker's Catering really went above and beyond to make our event memorable. Highly recommend!
Using Bekker's Catering was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Their food was delicious, we received so many compliments on the food we served during our reception (tray served appetizers and a buffet style dinner, including salmon/chicken, mashed potatoes, and mediterranean veggies). We were able to schedule a tasting ($25/person) to try the foods we wanted for our wedding and the consultation of what package to buy was so thorough! They even provided the cutlery, dishes, linens, and coffee/water station! Would definitely use them again!
If you need to contract a catering service for an event in San Diego, CA, look no further than Bekker's Catering. They have been voted the number one catering company in town and have won Wedding Wire's Couple's Choice Awards for the past 7-8 consecutive years.
My husband and I began looking for catering companies a year before our wedding date on 09/30/2023. We used The Knot to book tastings. From the get-go, we knew Bekker's was on the top of our lists for the following reasons: 1. transparent pricing - all package costs are posted on their website, and there are no hidden fees; 2. tons of catering food options; and 3. they offered additional services, such as wedding coordination services, making it a one-stop option for all your wedding planning needs. Once we did our tastings, we knew we had to go with Bekker's for our wedding catering. Not only did they have the best-tasting food, but they also offered the ability to add more things to our packages, such as the late-night snacks, boxed and ready to grab and go, for the end of our wedding event.
In addition to the food catering services, we also decided to hire Bekker's for our Day-of Wedding coordination, run by Kimberly and assisted by Makela. Kimberly was the best! Not only did she help put a list together for our master timeline and vendor information months in advance before the wedding, but she also attended our site visits for our wedding reception, kept in contact with all our vendors, and made sure that my husband and I felt cared for and taken care of the day of our wedding. We cannot emphasize enough how amazing it was to work with Kimberly and Bekker's for our wedding, and we would highly recommend any bride/groom to use their services, especially if you have a big wedding in San Diego.
Bekkers did an amazing job on our wedding! We had a huge guest count with a venue that was not all inclusive but the team at Bekkers handled it so easily and took a lot of weight off our shoulders during the planning process with their positive attitudes and long-time industry experience. In addition to their catering services, we chose to use Bekker’s table setting rentals, chairs, bartending services, and their Complete Wedding Coordination. Our coordinator, Kimberly, was the best coordinator that truly cared about our vision and worked with us every step of the way! Kimberly has an exceptional amount of industry experience and a great amount of grace that really kept my husband and I calm and focused throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Kimberly and her staff made sure that my husband and I were well taken care of. Following our wedding, I have received many raving reviews from my own guests about how delicious the food was, how considerate their staff was, and how kind Bekker’s bartenders were! I would recommend Bekker’s in a heartbeat!!
Bekker's catering absolutely exceeded our expectations for our May wedding. The food was amazing and the service was great, we moved through our 100 person buffet service so quickly that it actually accelerated our time line and gave us extra time for the dance floor! Incredible food and a forever part of our special day, thank you Bekker's team.
Bekker’s catering did such a fantastic job at our wedding in April this year! We searched around for a while looking for a caterer and finally landed with them, and I’m so glad. They were very professional. The tasting was fabulous and they laid out all the options for us for our day. We picked the ‘Elegant by Design’ menu and it was wonderful. The tray passed appetizers were SO GOOD! We loved the meatballs and the little ahi poke chips! We elected for family style platters for dinner and they were so fast with getting them to the tables. They made sure the groom and I got food as soon as we sat down and were attentive all night. They specialize in large weddings and their service is top notch! Highly recommend them for your event!
We chose the South of the Border for apps/dinner, and added on the ceviche shooters, and then the fresh banked churros for dessert. We live in San Diego, so we (both us and most of our guests) are definitely very familiar with delicious Mexican food, and let me tell you Bekker's hit the nail on the head. The food was absolutely delicious, everyone went back for seconds. We actually ended up with a decent amount of leftovers, and I was so worried it meant people didn't eat enough, but everyone I talked to over the next few days all raved about how delicious it was and how full they were. The Bekker's team was fantastic to work with, and answered all of our questions. They even assisted/advised on linen colors as needed. Do not hesitate and hire the Bekker's team if you are thinking about it.
Look no further!!! My husband and I chose Bekker’s for our wedding and it was AMAZING! We have received SO MANY compliments on our wedding food, literally saying “It was the best wedding food I’ve ever had”! Our main dishes were the Herb Crusted Tri Tip and the Chicken Breast in Garlic Herb Sauce. Communication with Kimberly and Rita was always prompt, professional and efficient. They both worked with my husband and I to switch out different dishes from the pre-made menu to change to items we wanted. It was a pleasure to work with Bekker’s Catering, their food, their service, everything was exceptional. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Bekker's Catering partners with our venue, Circle Oak Ranch, to cater all the weddings held there. We recently got married in November, and honestly I was very impressed with the food (and we received tons of compliments from our guests). We liked that Bekker's had a large variety of options to choose our menu from. They also were great about providing all the ingredient details for guests with food restrictions/allergies which was much appreciated! I would definitely recommend Bekker's Catering for a wedding, they were awesome!
Delicious. Everything was great. Lots of great ideas. Absolutely would use them again.
Rather than a wedding, we were having a 25th anniversary party so it was kind of like a wedding reception. The venue had a list of preferred caterers so we were going to check out a few. We started with Bekker's because we liked there menu choices. After contacting them directly, our search was over. The food choices and options looked too good to pass up. I will end up repeating myself but these are great people. My wife did most of the coordinating so I didn't have direct contact until our tasting. Even the tasting was an event. We went with a Mediterranean theme and the food was absolutely fantastic. They were so willing and happy to work with us with changes and modifications while we were waiting for all the RSVPs to arrive. They really know what they're doing. When party day came, the crew was there punctually and working as an organized team. It was a sight to behold and gave me the confidence to just focus on the fun part. Everyone from Bekker's was so friendly and caring. They put everything together and made an elegant ballroom. They helped us with things we were trying to do by sharing their expertise. Everyone loved the appetizers main and dessert courses. They even brought in spring water for the tables. These folks are so great. At the end, they disassembled everything with the same magic and efficiency they had used to put it together. They even packed leftovers and helped us load our car. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
Bekker's was fantastic - they had SO many options, were incredibly cooperative and flexible, and overall just a breeze to work with. They have choices to fit any budget and any theme, and not just food but plating and linens and other add-ons. They hosted us for a really enjoyable tasting and everything we choose for food was great, and they were super accommodating with food allergies or other dietary restrictions. Everyone we spoke with as we were planning was friendly and professional. These folks know what they're doing and they're good at it. I can't recommend them enough!!
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.
Great food! Great service! Great decor, their buffet line blended in beautifully with our wedding decor. They also were super accommodating to vegan diets! We were super happy with how the food turned out, and all our guests loved it!
During our search for a wedding venue in San Diego we actually drove by Barbara of Bekker's Catering setting up for a wedding in Seagrove Park. We had envisioned a similar destination for our ceremony, so we got out to speak to her. Despite the fact that she was working Barbara answered our questions and was just a warm person. We received a business card and even a hug as a farewell. As fate would have it, we were so lucky to have stumbled across Barbara and Bekker’s Catering that day. From the moment we agreed to go with Bekker’s as our caterer and Barbara as our day-of coordinator, we knew we were in good hands. With their professionalism and responsiveness Bekker’s made planning a wedding from the east coast a lot easier than it should have been. We ordered a number of services from the company such as food, chairs and bar services. At no time did they try to ‘upsell’ us on anything. In fact, several times we were told we were ordering too much. The food provided by Bekker’s on the day of our wedding was fantastic and the service and competence exhibited by their staff was wonderful. After our event we received a lot of complementary comments about both the food and the staff. In her role as coordinator Barbara ensured everything was setup at both our ceremony and venue. She took care of everything such as, bar area, food stations, decorations, gift table, etc. on the day. As a result of her organization and hard work our day went off without a hitch. We could not have done it without Barbara. Thanks to Bekker’s and Barbara for helping to make our wedding a truly fantastic day!
Best Bang for your Buck
I LOVED Bekker's for our wedding. My first impression of Bekker's was our liaison, Tatiana. She is spectacular. I was overwhelmed looking at everything online, so I gave Bekker's a call. She was so courteous and thoughtful. She walked me through many options and even showed us other options that may be a better value. I couldn't believe how much she helped me get focused.
When we decided to book Bekker's, I had a lot of specific needs. They went above and beyond to fulfill all of them. They sliced a cake we got from another vendor, and passed an Hors d'oeuvres for us.
I love that Bekker's made sure everything on our day was perfect! Thank you so much!
Fantastic catering service, great food, great service, and jaw dropping setup. 5 stars is not enough to review these guys!
After reading wonderful reviews on google about Bekker's Catering and Tatiana Penix (wedding coordinator), we scheduled a meeting with Tatiana and sampled their taste of Mexico menu. Everything was wonderful.
Tatiana gave us a welcoming first impression. From the first moment we spoke, she held my hand every step of the way. I don't know how I would've ever been able to get through the entire wedding planning process and day without her. She is worth her weight in gold and much more! I had a stress free planning experience and wedding day because of Tatiana. She was the point of contact for all of my vendors the day of the wedding. I gave her creative license for decor because I trusted her professional judgement. She knew what I liked based on my Pinterest boards that I had shared with her. She was caring, knowledgeable, professional, sincere and available. You will not regret booking with Bekker's catering and choosing Tatiana as your coordinator.
The staff that accompanied Tatiana at the wedding reception were warm, friendly and professional. I could tell that they truly enjoyed being there to make the day as special as possible.
Thank you so much for making one of the most important days of my life so beautiful and memorable.
They were so sweet and willing to go above and beyond to help me at my wedding. I would use them over and over again.
Bekker’s Catering is quality for a reasonable price. We booked Bekker’s two years before our wedding, each email I sent them was responded to promptly and was treated with importance. As the vision of our wedding was solidified, Bekker’s was more than happy to work with me to update our contract, as needed. Our wedding food was delicious and we had multiple people tell us that our dinner was “the best wedding food they’ve ever had.” We have zero regrets having Bekker’s cater our wedding and will recommend them to friends and family for future events.
Bekker's catering was recommended to us by various people. The food we picked was bbq chicken, tri-tip, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, and steamed vegetables. It was ALL so delicious! Our guests raved about how tasty it was and the bartenders were incredibly professional and friendly! I will be booking Bekker's for all of our future events!
Bekker's did an OUTSTANDING job catering our wedding! From the very beginning, every single person I talked to from there was extremely friendly and happy to answer any and all questions I had, to ensure that our day was exactly what we wanted. They were such a pleasure to work with the entire way. They had the largest selection of food and a range of prices to meet any budget! I got so many compliments from guests on the appetizers and the main dinner. Highly recommend!
everyone at bekkers is so helpful and the food is delicious! when we had our first appointment, we were able to try quite a few different pastas and dishes that were all delicious! we knew from then that this was going to be our caterer! everyone at the wedding also agreed that the food was super great! also, whenever we called to make a change to the menu prior to our wedding, which happened like 3 or 4 times, they always helped us out so patiently. and what exceeded our expectations was that they decorated the whole buffet line to match our wedding theme! it was such a pleasant surprise! they really are an awesome caterer in san diego!!
Bekker’s catered my son’s wedding and we cannot day enough about how wonderful an experience this turned out to be! From the time we met with them a year ago they were nothing short of helpful, courteous, professional and attentive to our needs. On the day of the event, the venue did not have the number of chairs promised and Lacey immediately took over and arranged to have chairs delivered by Bekker’s (thank you Jennifer for the delivery!). The food was fabulous and they even prepared a meal to accommodate my food allergies. Thank you for helping to make our day special!
We loved Bekker's! They were easy to work with and the food was delicious. We had a taco bar and people were raving about the fish. They were very professional and attentive.
We also added on the Deluxe Day-Of Coordinator and they set us up with Tatiana. She was amazing. She went above and beyond starting months before the wedding. We had a slightly nontraditional wedding and she didn't skip a beat. She ensured everyone and everything was where they needed to be. She never seemed the least bit overwhelmed and she has a great sense of humor. Throughout the reception she made sure myself, the groom, and our families had everything they needed.
We hired Bekker’s catering for our wedding, and it was a great experience from start to finish! The manager at our wedding venue recommended Bekker’s as a reasonably priced caterer, and they responded quickly. We chose the “Greek Goddess” menu, which had yummy kabobs as well as Tzatziki Sauce and Spanakopitas that our guests later raved about. The highlight of working with Bekker’s catering was our day-of-wedding coordinator, Barbara. She was exceptional! She was prompt in replying to my questions, and she was such a kind and warm person to work with. I don’t have any event planning experience, so to have someone I could call or email and ask questions about everything from centerpieces to getting my wedding dress steamed and pressed was such a relief! Everything was absolutely beautiful on my wedding day, and she made the rehearsal the night before and the day of the wedding 100% stress free for me. My Mom told me that hiring Barbara was one of the best decisions that I made for my wedding, and I 100% agree! I highly recommend Bekker’s catering and Barbara for your wedding! Thank you!
Truly wonderful experience from start to finish. I was lucky enough to come across Bekker’s when searching for a reasonably priced caterer for my wedding. They responded quickly when I asked for a quote on a menu, chairs, linens, cake, and same day wedding coordination. I was assigned Barbara as my coordinator and she was exceptional. She was prompt with communication via email, text, and phone calls. She was warm and accommodating and really listened to and respected what I wanted while also providing great suggestions and input. I felt I could trust her completely to get everything set up and running smoothly which was a huge
Relief because I was coming from out of town. Everything looked absolutely beautiful on the big day and she made my reception 100% stress free for me. I would definitely recommend Bekker’s to anyone planning a wedding or event in the Dan Diego area and would most certainly work with them again.
Barbara and her crew made our event memorable. Thanks Bekker's!!!!
Bekker's was very easy to work with, made great food, and was very responsive to any question we had throughout the planning process. We appreciated Bekker's flexibility in designing a menu and service that fit our needs at an affordable price. We received a lot of compliments from guests on the customized Mamma Mia package we selected. We would highly recommend Bekker's.
Bekker's is an absolutely phenomenal catering company. They were recommended to us by the event coordinator at our wedding venue and we couldn't be more pleased with their professionalism, quality, and willingness to go the extra mile. Their staff met with us to review food choices early on and Tatiana in particular was a huge help in terms of helping us coordinate all of the details as the event drew closer. Bekker's not only provided amazing food, but their event crew and team leader James were 100% on point, ensuring everything went smoothly and according to the event timeline. Bekker's also coordinated the pickup and delivery for tables and chairs, all of which went perfectly. If you are looking for the very best catering and event company, look no further than Bekker's. Thank you so much for making our wedding day amazing!
The food was amazing and the set up looked beautiful. We had BBQ with some additional vegetarian options and they worked with us to accommodate all of our guests' food restrictions. Everyone loved the food and we had people going back for additional portions of food even during dessert!
They also let us borrow their cooler to take home all the leftovers and there was no rush on returning it. Made things very convenient and we could return the cooler after our honeymoon.
Going with them was affordable, delicious, and easy as they helped us execute our vision for food while taking into consideration the health of our guests. And they even had a couple of servers prepare plates for my husband and I and then find us during the reception to bring us a plate of dessert. Which I'm so happy about because otherwise I wouldn't have had a chance to grab any!
Bekker's Catering was incredible to work with! Everything went perfectly and tasted amazing. All of our guests commented on their delicious food!
We cannot overstate how wonderful Bekker's Catering, and Barb in particular, were to work with on our special day! We had a budget to work with and felt listened to and valued when choosing our food options, getting an incredible value and not breaking the bank. Not to mention the food was absolutely delicious! We hired Barb as our day-of-coordinator and I genuinely don't know what we would have done without her! She was incredible and went above and beyond. Highly recommended!
If you havn't hired Bekker's Catering for your wedding, pick up the phone right now and call. If you want a delicious food, amazing service, wonderful coordinators and staff, and a stress free event then choose Bekker's. Shout out to the marvelous Tatiana Penix for helping me every step of the way and making my wedding one of the best days of my entire life. Having everything come from one vendor will make your wedding planning SO MUCH EASIER, trust me!
We hired Bekker's for our wedding in May 2018, 130 guests, and needed full service, including food, bartender, rentals, and day of coordinator. My wedding day could not have been more beautiful, relaxing, and AFFORDABLE.
FOOD: My guests to this day are still raving about the food. We barely had any leftovers, because our guests were going back for seconds and thirds. My husbands only complaint of the day was that he did not get a second plate of food on our wedding day because the food was so good and there wasn't enough time for us to eat two plates and go around to all our guests tables! We had the tri tip (bomb), bbq chicken (so tender), baked mac and cheese (MY FAVORITE), garlic bread, and two different salads that were excellent. You would never had guessed that it was catered.
RENTALS: Rentals could not have been easier. They provided everything. I honestly was not expecting how beautiful the event space looked and it was above and beyond what I had hoped for. They even helped set up center pieces on the tables and provided some extra decor for our wedding for no charge. Decor and rentals were on point, and they left the venue cleaner than we found it after the wedding.
COORDINATOR AND STAFF: Bekker's provided me with the best wedding coordinator I could have asked for. If you need a coordinator, ask for TATIANA PENIX!!!! I felt like I was planning my wedding with a best friend. She was so sweet, answered EVERY txt, email, or call within within hours of my calling, so organized, attentive, all her advice and recommendations were spot on, and she coordinated my wedding day without one hitch. The best thing about Bekker's is how much they care! The staff were so attentive, clean, professional, and organized. I did not have to worry about a single thing on the wedding day and just had to show up.
I will be recommending Bekker's to everyone. They go ABOVE AND BEYOND for their customers. Thank you so much Bekker's and Tatiana for everything. I could not have done it without you.
Daniel and Rae Vogel
Very pleased with Bekker’s catering! Food was delicious, crew was quick, clean, and friendly. Definitely will be recommending them to friends and family!
Great food and great service! They were very helpful all throughout the process with suggestions and recommendations and the food was both affordable and deliscious. We received several compliments from our guests!
Bekkers is amazing! I would highly recommend booking them, not only is their food more affordable than most caterers it is delicious! Also, their staff was very attentive and made sure we got appetizers while taking our pictures right after the ceremony. They also made sure we were served first and kept checking back to make sure we didn’t need anything else. They were quick and efficient with everything!
Super organized and helped stay within our budget. Helped me avoid a last-minute disaster by having tablecloths for our event when the venue did not have them. Everyone loved the food and said the staff was friendly and attentive.
Bekker’s was perfect for my wedding! The food was fantastic and we were able to customize practically everything to have exactly what we wanted. The staff was very professional and friendly and they served my husband and I at our table and set up our own appetizer station in our prep room to make sure we got something to eat (I actually got to eat at my wedding!). Highly recommended!
There's a reason Bekker's has 5 stars....they are AMAZING!!! Everyone at our wedding was raving about how amazing the food was! We did pulled pork, chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, and the roasted veggies. Everything turned out so delicious, the staff was so friendly, always checking on the bride & groom. I can't say enough good things about them! Thanks for making our wedding even that much more memorable. I wish you had a restaurant I could go eat at on the regular!!
Bekkers is a one stop shop. They provided the food, tables, chairs and outdoor heaters for our wedding. Their staff were hard workers who had excellent ideas to help our wedding run smoothly. The food was so good!!!! They arrived on time, picked everything up the next day, packaged up the leftovers. I would highly recommend them!!!!
The staff and food at the event was great.
However, I was a bit disappointed.
The couple days prior to my wedding they informed me my linens weren't available so I called the linen vendor and they let me know they did indeed have what I requested in stock. When I called I spoke to Tatiana and let her know there must be some miscommunication because they did have it in stock and she responded with, "well it's not like I'm lieing to you". I let her know I didn't feel that was the case, I just wanted the issue remedied.
On the day of I was told they would arrive at 1:30 but it was more like 2ish giving them only an hour to set up.
On the day of the wrong color linen napkins were delivered. I ordered Nu Mocha Lamour napkins and they brought Latte Lamour napkins.
On the day of our ceremony chairs were set up at the wrong location pushing our wedding back long enough for that fix.
Usually I would recommend Bekkers but I felt our wedding just wasn't high on the priority list and it just made me sad.
Bekker's was amazing to work with. So responsive to emails, great food and high quality rentals. It was so nice, and easy, to have everything (catering, rentals, linens, speakers) done through one company. They didn't try to up-sell us on anything and if we needed something, they gave us recommendations on the place/vendor of the best value. The ceremony and reception were set up beautifully. The food was delicious. Saul, the event manager, was kind and professional, as were all of the staff. I took off 1 star for the sole purpose that I never knew who I would be talking to via email. However, it was nice to know that whomever responded knew what I was talking about. I never felt as if I was one of multiple clients. I know that if/when I have another event, I will definitely use Bekker's again.
Bekker's Catering was absolutely wonderful in every way. The food was perfect, they were so accommodating to all our guests food types - gluten free, vegan, vegetarians and meat eaters. They worked really hard with us, were super patient and friendly the whole time, with all our changes, but my daughters wedding coudln't have been better. The staff at the wedding were amazing, and super helpful and friendly. We loved working with Bekkers', and highly recommend them.
Bekkers did an amazing job! They were very easy to work with and kept our budget in mind. The food was top quality and their customer service. Their team is my top recommendation for any bride and groom!
Everyone at Bekker's was so friendly and helpful throughout out entire wedding planning process. We had a last minute venue change and they totally rolled with it, helping to make a very stressful moment a little bit easier. My mom and dad both had such an easy time working with them, wether it was talking on the phone, emailing, or finding information on the website. Plus the food was AMAZING (we went with a Mexican theme). Everyone at our reception raved about it. They even worked with our odd, off season request of pumpkin pie in July. I highly recommend them!!
Wow! is the best word I can think of when it comes to the service, personal touch, and patience Barbara displayed while working with us. We used Bekker's for both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. What a great combo. It was a seamless transition. Barbara was absolutely amazing, the staff was so helpful and eager to serve, and the food was absolutely wonderful. They worked with us on providing some gluten-free options.
I HIGHLY recommend talking to Barbara and her wonderful staff to plan your event. It is completely worry-free. I left everything up to Barbara on both occasions, and everything was perfect! I especially loved the way she communicated with the bride and groomsmen. They listed! :)
Having good food for our guests was one of our biggest concerns for our daughter's August 2016 wedding. Keeping cost under control was also important. Of the caterers we contacted, Bekker's was the easiest to do business with, the most responsive, and offered the broadest selection of prices and services. We were planning from across the country, so we appreciated Bekker's great service, communication, and flexibility. We met repeatedly with Bekker's to evaluate food options. Through many months of planning, we changed our menu and options frequently. Barbara was always patient and professional in assisting us, making helpful recommendations, guiding us through the process, and making sure that every detail was covered. We opted for Tri Tip, Boneless Chicken Breast in Mushroom Cabernet, Roasted Red Potatoes, Steamed Fresh Green Beans Amandine, and Spring Mix. Gluten-free and vegetarian options were an important requirement. Bekker's handled everything superbly, and the food was excellent. Using Bekker's for table and chair rentals also worked well for us. Bekker's was experienced with our venue, Hazy Meadows, and helped us plan accordingly. We hired Lacey from Bekker's as our wedding day coordinator. We initially hesitated to hire a coordinator, but we were sure glad we did. Lacey was fantastic and enabled us to focus on our friends and family instead of the logistics. Thank you so much, Bekker's. You helped make a perfect wedding day.
LOVE LOVE LOVE! Thank you Barbara and Bekkers for being so AMAZING! I have had the pleasure of working with Barbara at other weddings and I knew they were a great match! We got so many compliments that the food was on point and such great service. Thank you Barbara XOXO
My husband and I booked Bekker's for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with the decision. They were AWESOME! Menu options listed on website but can totally make customizations to fit any wedding. They were very accommodating with our budget. They worked seamlessly with our wedding planner. Provided stellar service on our wedding day and went above and beyond what we anticipated. We absolutely would recommend Bekker's Catering for any wedding.
Bekker's catered our wedding this weekend and everything was AMAZING! We worked with Barbara and Olga to plan our meal and from the start they made us feel comfortable and welcome. The provided everything as promised and then some! Their serving staff was top notch - they worked like a well-oiled machine, setting up, serving, cleaning up and packing up leftovers for us to bring home. And the food - oh my gosh! The food was fantastic. We got SO many compliments on the food. My oldest brother was so impressed with the tri-tip that he asked the staff if they ran a restaurant he could go to so he could add them to his list of favorite places! (Sadly, no restaurant - just excellent catering). And considering all that we got, the meal was very reasonably priced. We couldn't be more thrilled with the way our reception turned out. Thank you so much to Bekker's for the excellent service and high quality dining. It was a pleasure working with you and our reception went off without a hitch!
Bekker's was amazing in their customer service, professionalism, and the food was amazing! Barbara continuously checked in with me the months leading up to my wedding. Both Barbara and the rest of the staff were very easy to get a hold of and always offered to go the extra mile. They had a wide variety of food to choose from and made sure to give us options within our budget. Everything went extremely smooth on the day of the wedding and they did a wonderful job providing delicious food and a wonderful set-up. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer for a special event!
The food was absolutely delicious as well as the customer service from the first phone call to the crew they had there that day. Our friends and family still tell me how delicious it was.
Almost every single person at my wedding made a point to tell me how great the food was! I have worked with Bekker's before on previous events, so I knew the food would be amazing for my wedding, and they blew me away once again with their service! I rented my linens through Bekker's as well, so they were there early enough to set those up, and then back at just the right time to have the appetizers set up and ready to go, and then again with the buffet for dinner. Timing is everything with a wedding, and they nailed it, all while being almost unnoticeable in the process! The foods that were hot were hot the entire time, while the amazing fruit display held up beautifully! I had a server personally cater to the groom and myself to make sure that we got food and drinks whenever we needed them! Bekker's is a smaller, family owned catering company that takes a lot of pride in what they do, and that really showed throughout the entire event, even to the timely cleanup. The entire process was great, as they are easy to get ahold of, every single person is available to help you, and they make changes and accommodating you the easiest thing! I will definitely be using Bekker's again for future events :)
I hired Bekkers for my July 2015 wedding after meeting Barbara at one of the Bridal Bazaar shows about a year prior. Hands down one of the best decisions I made while wedding planning.
Barbara is amazing. I wish I had another event to plan just so I could work with her again. I'm going to miss her! I'd recommend Barbara to anyone for planning and coordination. She's friendly, honest and dedicated to her clients. She provided invaluable guidance in the months/weeks/days leading up to the wedding - handled anything and everything day-of like a champ and even had two-way radios/ear pieces for the DJ, Photographer and herself to make sure they could coordinate/adjust to get the ceremony/reception timing just right. I know our big day wouldn't have gone as well as it did without her and I cannot thank her enough.
Bekkers did a tremendous job with the catering/set-up/tear-down as well - their staff was efficient, friendly and hard working. All of my guests loved the food (we went with Greek - gyros bar and lemon chicken, salad, rice, etc...) when my husband wasn't too keen on the initial gyros offering they had Bekkers went out of their way to make sure we got EXACTLY what we wanted. No fuss. No hidden charges. I really appreciated the quality of the food, the reasonable pricing and the integrity with which their entire organization ran.
Delicious! Bekkers provided such an amazing variety of foods with such an amazing flavor, we chose to use them for both our rehersal dinner (50 ppl) and wedding reception (100 ppl).
Our rehersal dinner was pretty informal, as we had fajitas dropped off with all of the fixings. For the wedding reception we had breaded mahi mahi with mango salsa, smoke chicken and steaks grilled fresh on site! The sides were delicious too, fresh salad, grilled veggies, and a mashed potato bar. Our guest are STILL talking about our wedding food 6 months later and how they weren't ashamed to go back for seconds. I've never been to a wedding where everyone cleaned their plates! You can't get more bang for your buck ( I looked).
The team at Bekkers was very professional and accomodating. They were very helpul in assisting us with our menu and accomodating items for my gluten free guests. And if you're not a fan of wasteing food, they offer to pack up your leftover to take home; which was great for the after party.
I was super happy with the quality and service we received from Bekkers. And it's clear that our guests LOVED the food. Not only would I highly reccomend them, I'm trying to think of a reason that would require me to have a caterer, just so I can enjoy it all over again.
From the moment we contacted Bekkers we got nothing but the best in service, information, attention and care. They helped us from the moment of the first email six months prior to the wedding until the last plate was picked up on the day of our reception. We also inquired about a specialty-themed menu and they did a wonderful job providing it. We also utilized their wedding coordinatior services and it was flawless. Everything went so well that everyone was raving about the food, the service, the organization and the attentiveness.
