The best vendor we used for our wedding

PAC (and specifically Caitlin) was the most responsive, easiest to work with vendor that we used for our wedding. They are not the least expensive caterer, but they were everything we needed all in one- they were our bartenders, chefs, did our signature cocktails and desserts and late night snack. We did a buffet and the food was great, everyone complimented us on it. Definitely recommend!

Best Catering in Napa/Sonoma

Anthony and the entire Park Ave. team were absolutely AMAZING to work with. The second we spoke with Anthony about catering our wedding, we knew that that Park Ave. was going to be the best choice. While we knew that they would be great, and the food was going to be good, we were BLOWN AWAY with how amazing they truly were. We had over 100 guests our wedding and ended up going with a bar to serve some of our favorite cocktails (made by Park Ave.'s bartenders), and tray passed small bites (which included oysters, bacon wrapped dates, a Pizza station, and more). For dinner we had three options for the plated meals: Tri Tip (my favorite), parm crusted chicken, and the vegetarian ravioli. Lastly we went with a dessert and coffee bar. We picked red velvet mini cupcakes, banana cream & chocolate eclairs, and lemon cheesecake. The food was all fresh, hot, and tasted better than any wedding food (or restaurant meal) that we've eaten in years. They had so many options and packages for their menu and for what they could do to customize the menu to fit our vision best. Their team was so amazing, personable and fun to work with. All of our guests commented on how nice and accommodating each person from Park Ave. was. Our guests are still talking and raving about how great the food and service was at our wedding, and that is all thanks for Anthony and the Park Ave. team. If you are looking for a catering team and food that you and your guests will never forget.....Then you have to go with Park Ave!

Most Delicious Food I’ve Ever Had At Any Wedding

Park Avenue Catering catered my wedding at Viansa Winery in Sonoma on 6/23/24, and hiring them was one of the best decisions I made during wedding planning. The food was, in a word, outstanding. Right after we left the venue that night, my new husband said to me, “that was the best food I ever had at a wedding.” That was my impression, as well, and a shocking number of guests have reached out to me since my wedding to say the same and absolutely rave about the food.

Food is very important to me, and I am particular (maybe even difficult). But Anthony Levy from PAC was extremely patient and attentive, and he worked painstakingly to get to know my palate and create the menu of my dreams. It wasn’t just some generic stock menu you’ll see at every wedding either — I had my own little ideas about food items I wanted that reflected my (and my husband’s) culture and upbringing, and Anthony brought those ideas to life. The result was a highly personalized assortment of food that pleased everyone, which is not an easy task. The signature cocktails were also bomb. I can’t tell you how happy I was with the final product.

Food quality aside, execution on my wedding day was also perfect. The food service was first class. More broadly, Anthony and everyone at PAC were an absolute pleasure to work with and held my hand throughout the process from beginning to end. They are extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and accommodating. Their bedside manner is impeccable. But most importantly, I will reiterate that — from the hors d'oeuvres to the plated dinner to the dessert bar to the late night snacks — PAC put out the most delicious food I’ve ever had at a wedding, bar none. I’m dead serious.

Bottom line, Anthony knows food, and he knows weddings. He knows what wedding guests like and how to balance their myriad preferences with those of the bride and groom. He obviously cares deeply about making people happy with food, and he is highly skilled in doing so. I strongly recommend PAC for your wedding or event.
