I could not recommend Debbie and Blue Heron Catering more highly. She catered our wedding with a Thai inspired menu, and we heard from many guests that it was the best wedding meal that they had ever had. In addition to the food and day of service being excellent, Debbie was wonderful to work with throughout the planning and aftermath of the wedding. I found her very down to earth and a clear communicator, she was very flexible with all of our requests, she was incredibly helpful on things outside of her purview (she recommended our wine selection and coordinated the delivery so we didn't have to think about it), and she maintained a calm and collected demeanor throughout. Were I to need future catering in the Bay Area, Blue Heron would be my first call.

Tony and everyone on the Blue Heron Catering team took our wedding day to another level with their delicious food and cocktails, attention to detail, and great service! We tried two other caterers when looking for a vendor, and Chef Humberto’s food was far and away the most delicious. Combined with Tony’s enthusiasm for what he does and active listening to what we wanted / needed for the day, they were the clear winner.

Tony always got all our requests for menu, set up, and rentals correct even as we evolved our choices over time. He was also really flexible with us and presented different options that would help us achieve what we want and also be cost-effective. Catering is a big part of the wedding budget, so we REALLY appreciated this!

Our guests loved the food and drinks, and we are still getting compliments weeks after the event! We highly recommend Blue Heron Catering, and would love to find an excuse to work with them again on another event!

Blue Heron catered our wedding and so many guests told us it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. We had primarily Indian, Mexican, and Latin American food. It was all great. Especially the tamales. Amazingly, some of the food was actually even better at the wedding than at the tasting. They also did a great job catering to vegetarians and vegans.

Compared to other caterers we explored, we found that Blue Heron had more interesting food and a larger variety. They were also happy to do a bunch of different dishes on the buffet instead of just a few main ones. They were also quite reasonably priced. They didn’t have quite as many employees at the event as some other caterers quoted, which kept the cost down, but it didn’t cause any problems for service quality.

We got married at Chabot Space and Science Center, and Blue Heron was responsible for setting up all the furniture for the event in addition to catering food and tending the bar. They were clearly very experienced working at the venue and did a perfect job setting up the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception as well. They even figured out how to set up the chuppah for us.

Tony, Debbie, Humberto, and everyone else we interacted with was very helpful and organized. Tony even brought us (the bride and groom) a special plate of appetizers at cocktail hour to make sure we were well-fed. They also brought the groom a special extra large plate for dinner at his request :-)
