Kacy the event planner is the most unprofessional and rude person to work with. After many years of five star service this was unacceptable. Richard tried very hard to compensate for her unprofessionalism that left everyone feeling uncomfortable. He is still give stars in my book. Yet this is a score for my cumulative experience. So sad to see this go down hill so fast. Tina please make some changes this is so unlike your company.

When my now-husband and I first dined at one of Santa Barbara Catering's restaurants, we immediately knew we had to have them cater our wedding. The variety of delectable food items made our mouths water and the taste is like nothing we've ever had before! Every hors d'oeuvre and entree we sampled had outstanding flavor and was displayed beautifully, even as a buffet.

The vegetables were fresh and cooked just right, and the tortilla and parmesan crusted chicken breast was to die for! Our guests are STILL texting me saying how much they loved the food we had at the wedding! Not only was the food delicious, but Santa Barbara Catering's service and attention to detail was second to none. Our tables, linens and decor were laid out exactly as I envisioned.

The beautiful colored napkins and fruitwood chairs really classed up our event and made the reception all the more gorgeous. Nobody was ever without food or drink in hand thanks to the fabulous wait staff who was working our event. There was even a gentleman who came all the way out to where we were taking photos with our photographers (which was a several minute walk from the reception) just to bring my groom and I water and hors d'oeuvres to make sure we weren't getting faint or too hungry to continue.

We had the most beautiful, delicious dinner we could possibly have hoped for and we cannot recommend Artisan by Santa Barbara Catering Company enough! If you're having an upcoming event, you'd be making a huge mistake by not hiring this company!

I can't say enough good things about this company, especially Nicole Jorgensen. They did the catering for my wedding last weekend and from the beginning of planning to the day of the event, they were absolutely helpful and professional and went above and beyond to make it spectacular. It started with a phenomenal tasting in which they listened to all of my dietary restrictions (I am gluten free and mostly keto/paleo).

They provided an amazing tasting menu and listened to the small changes we requested, and offered up even more options. From there on out Nicole went above and beyond, offering recommendations on anything we could possibly need for wedding planning and offering to connect us with her favorite vendors and suppliers. She did a walk through of the venue with us in the planning stages and offered amazingly helpful recommendations on so many things.

The day of the wedding was flawless, she worked quietly and diligently behind the scenes to make sure everything went smoothly. I just can't say enough good things about this company and Nicole!

I went to event about a month ago that was catered by Artisan by Santa Barbara Catering, the food was spectacular! We had churro fritters for dessert and they were to die for. The staff was so attentive and friendly, I will definitely have them cater my next party.

I have attended mutlriole high-end events in the valley over the past couple of years and time after time the food has been the work of Artisan by Santa Barbera Catering. I can only say that I hope more events have them, as the menus are always top notch and something I would only expect at a fine dining restaurant, so the fact they can do this for large events again and again, has earned a 5 star review. Keep up the amazing work!

By far the best caterer in the State! We had Artisan by SBC cater our wedding last November, and our friends and family are STILL raving about the food!

We are considering Santa Barbara Catering for our annual holiday party and the food we tasted today was amazing. Their presentation was great and their creativity was totally in line with our theme. They use locally sourced food, and provided us so many options for our party. We were impressed!

Wow. I was completely blown away by the food and presentation at their Madison School District Performing Arts Center event. If you are planning a party or gathering that requires delicious food, creativity and professionalism, I highly recommend Santa Barbara Catering. The staff couldn't be more friendly.

WOW! I can't say enough good things about Santa Barbara Catering. We recently worked with Corinne for an open house event for 100+ people. As we're new to the area where we through the event Corinne and her staff assisted in helping source everything from flowers, rentals to musician. The food, catering staff and overall execution was spectacular. I would highly recommend!
