My husband and I used Beli Deli for our wedding and we were beyond happy.

All of our guests commented on how amazing the food was. Mike and Zhanna are amazing and the service at the wedding was absolutely flawless! I am beyond grateful and cannot say enough good things to everyone i talk to. From sitting down to create menus to working through rentals and linens, they were an absolute pleasure to work with.

Every dish was perfect, the set up was perfect and the waitstaff was amazing!

They went above and beyond to make my day perfect and i cannot wait to work with them again for future parties and events!

I could not have asked for an easier or more delicious wedding experience with Beli Deli!

Mike set up an elaborate food tasting for us (on a Saturday!), patiently walked us through many different menu iterations and put up with our ever-changing head count. Our wedding venue was rather unconventional (a WWII liberty ship) so Beli Deli had to navigate a very unusual setup, including lifting everything from the dock to the ship by crane! But everything went off smoothly and on time, and everyone maintained a very positive attitude.

We decided on a buffet, which our guests loved - the crabcakes, in particular, were a huge hit. Beli Deli also labeled all the vegetarian dishes, which was very appreciated. Also, they gave us WAY too much food - far more than we paid for! And, for an additional touch, after the wedding they agreed to let us drop off the leftover equipment in person and waive the delivery fee.

I highly recommend Beli Deli for any wedding, no matter the size, location, or venue.

We considered catering as one of the most important aspects of our wedding. And so, our search for a caterer began with three separate tastings, with three independent Bay Area caterers. Upon seeing the giant, top grade, professional Beli Deli facility in Oakland and proceeding to taste the Beli Deli foods, we were completely convinced that no other local caterer could compete. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, gorgeous and plentiful, but the pricing Beli Deli offered was below that of what any other caterer could compete with.

On the day of our wedding, Chef Mike from Beli Deli performed well beyond our expectations. The various cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres were plentiful, colorful, delicious and kept our guests happy and entertained. Our reception tables were full of elegantly plated, mouth watering hot and cold appetizers (crepes, salads, pates, piroshki and more). The entrees were juicy - the sea bass and lamb chops were definitely crowd favorites, the chicken and beef kabobs were savory and pleasing. The desert plates full of baked goods and freshly cut fruit, along with tea and coffee service really put the icing on the entire event. Every single guest indulged and was entirely happy by the culinary experience!

Additionally, Chef Mike helped us with event rentals. He took cake of everything from dishes and linens to chairs and tables, delivery and breakdown. His connections offer competitive rates. But ultimately, having him take care of all the hassles of setting up and hiring additional vendors to deal with rentals really helped us and allowed us to focus on other aspects of the wedding party.

So needless to say, we highly recommend the family-owned, family-run, local Beli Deli Catering company!
