Great service, great food

Coast catered our wedding at Scripps and did an amazing job. Tasty food was a priority for us and they did not disappoint. The food was excellent--many of our guests commented about how good it was and how much they enjoyed it. Their Miso Glazed Sea Bass hors d'oeuvre was absolutely delicious and the mains were great as well--we did the Kurobuta Pork Loin and Pan Roasted Barramundi, along w/ Gnocchi and Roasted Kabocha for vegetarian / vegan options.

Rachel, our coordinator, was awesome to work with; so responsive and helpful and always positive and really nice. Their service on the day of was also great; the staff was highly professional and kind; a lot of our guests were impressed at the synchronized serving as well at each table.

They provided our tables, chairs, silverware, linens, etc. as well and we had no issues--everything looked great.

Overall a highly positive experience and would recommend to anyone doing an event in San Diego.

The BEST Catering Company!

We had the most incredible experience with Coast and Crown Rentals and I cannot recommend them enough. Every aspect of their service, from the food to the service, was absolutely amazing for our wedding at the Darlington House in August 2023.

The food provided by Coast was beyond delicious. From the beautiful cheese display, to the passed appetizers to the main course and desserts, every bite was bursting with flavor. All the food was served at the right temperatures and delivered at the perfect cadence. The presentation of the food was also impeccable, with each dish beautifully arranged and plated. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious everything tasted!

The service provided by the catering staff was top-notch. They were attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure that every guest had a wonderful dining experience. They seamlessly coordinated the serving of the food, ensuring that everyone received their meals promptly and with a smile. The staff also took care of all the setup and cleanup, allowing us to focus on enjoying our special day without any worries.

What truly set the Coast apart was their exceptional Event Manager, Rachel. From our initial consultation to the day of the wedding, Rachel was responsive, accommodating, and truly invested in making our vision come to life. Rachel took the time to understand our preferences and dietary restrictions, and worked closely with us to create a menu that exceeded our expectations. Rachel’s attention to detail and commitment to excellence was evident in every interaction we had with her.

Overall, our experience with the Coast, Crown and Rachel was nothing short of amazing. They played a pivotal role in making our wedding day a success, and we are forever grateful for their incredible food and service. If you're looking for a catering company that will exceed your expectations and create a memorable dining experience for your special day, look no further. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you to the entire team for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

Best Catering Company

We recently hired Coast Catering and Crown Rentals for our La Jolla wedding and I would absolutely recommend them for any event! From the moment we had our food tasting, we knew they would be the best. The appetizers, dinner, and dessert was so delicious, the rental set up looked perfect, and all of the event staff were so polite and friendly. So many of our guests told us that was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! Rachel was so much help along the way and went above and beyond to make sure everything was amazing for our wedding. They also made it so easy for us by being able to handle our catering and rentals as one contract. 10/10!
