Thank you Bites and Bashes!

One of my biggest wedding regrets is NOT trying the appetizer food that we had catered from Bites and Bashes. Our wedding was almost 2 months ago and I’m STILL hearing how much everyone loved the glass noodles!

My (now) husband had found bites and bashes and we were instantly intrigued by not only their impressive portfolio of clients and amazing reviews, but also that they are POC and Women owned.

They were great at communicating and everything was so easy when it came to working with them. We had them drop off the food at our venue to be served at cocktail hour.

While I have to admit that I didn’t get a chance to try the food myself, the fact that we are getting unsolicited compliments from SO MANY of our guests for not only the glass noodles but also the chicken satay and other items we had is a sign to me that it must have been amazing.

Thank you Bites and Bashes

So beautiful and tasty!

Amazing experience! We had a small wedding day party for 30 people and everyone absolutely loved the food! We ordered drop off service for about $1500. It looked really beautiful and the variety fit many different diets. I’m really happy with their service and would definitely order again. A few friends from the party asked for their info as well.

Thank you Bites & Bashes!

Bites & Bashes was the perfect caterer for our wedding at Los Verdes Golf Course! We could not have been happier with them.

Crystal and everyone we worked with over at Bites & Bashes were organized, responsive, friendly, and helpful. They truly go above and beyond to make sure you're happy.

Their food is delicious, and they give great advice about the best options to go with and how to display it, etc. We received so many compliments about the beautiful charcuterie display, their gorgeous serving dishes, and how great the food was.

I would recommend them 10 times out of 10. Thank you, Bites & Bashes! Can't wait to see you at the cafe soon (they have a delicious cafe you should visit also)!
