We had a very large Vietnamese wedding (400 guests) at a faraway venue. Paracel was able to come and build out their own kitchen and still produce top-notch food. One of the things I was most worried about was my guests enjoying the food, but on the day of, there was nothing to worry about at all. Everyone loved all the courses! They took notes from the tasting very seriously and adjusted accordingly. I am very pleased by how above and beyond Linh went to make sure the day went smoothly. Thank you!

Without a doubt, the best wedding caterer! When we were planning our wedding (at an off-site venue), we were debating between the best known in the business such as Furiwa, Seafood World, and about 4 others. My dad suggested Paracel but we were hesitant because the restaurant has been around for decades but no one really talks of it. We decided to inquire and were shocked that their pricing was half of what the other caterers quoted us for and without all these ridiculous add-on fees!

Now I've been to my fair share of weddings and my tastebuds are generally easily pleased, but sometimes there are a few dishes that are meh. This was not the case with Paracel! From the time we went to the tasting (which was free of charge!!! Other caterers charge for tastings btw), we were blown away by how amazing everything tasted. And we prayed that they'd be able to replicate it for our off-site wedding. Mission completely accomplished. EVERYONE LOVED THE FOOD!! Compliment after compliment about how amazing the food was. It's the best wedding food we've ever had (totally not biased)! People are still talking to us about how great the food was!

We went with the top of the line menu and swapped out a few items:
- Lobster Salad
- Crab and Fish Maw Soup
- Filet Mignon
- House Special Lobster WITH NOODLES
- Peking Duck
- Honey Walnut Shrimp
- Seafood Bird Nest
- Fried Rice
- Mung Bean Dessert
- Appetizers during Cocktail Hour were included in their package too!

Paracel by far had the best food, value, and most importantly - flexibility! Our venue was pretty strict with their policies but Paracel was able to work with us, offered to help out in more ways than we thought possible, all without charging us extra fees. I won't list them out here (in case they were only doing us the favors), but I can think of five MAJOR favors they willingly helped us with, which saved us hundreds of dollars!!

Working with the Paracel team was a pleasure - Matthew, Katie, and Shaun were so kind, responsive, and understanding. We could not be more satisfied with our selection!!

Matthew and his parents are Godsends! Where else can you book food catering, a full bar, a venue, and an awesome DJ! Look no further, here’s your one stop shop! Listen to the other reviews and do yourself a favor and book Paracel for your wedding, birthday, large family gatherings. They are so accommodating. Matthew does a great job of answering your questions. My main concern was if the food from the tasting was going to taste the same day of the wedding. Our guests loved the food! No complaints there! The bar was stocked. And the bartenders knew how to mix perfectly portion drinks! The wedding went smoothly. And our guests of 370 had so much fun!
