When we started planning our wedding we knew we needed to find good food. We decided to look into BBQ and found Simply Marvelous BBQ. We went to do a tasting and talked about what we wanted for our meal. Everything we tasted was spectacular and it was hard to narrow down. We went with smoked turkey, brisket, garlic mashed potatoes, veggies, and salad. For appetizers we did a fruit and cheese platter, pulled pork sliders, and a smoked salmon crab cake. The food was delicious!!!!

Throughout the planning Step and Jamie were so responsive to all our questions. They were so patient through all the changes and additions we did and made the process so pleasant and easy. My husband and I were provided appetizers as we were taking pictures (which were amazing) and when it was dinner time we were served at our table first so we could eat while the guests got their food. Before we walked in for our grand entrance we walked through the area where the fruit and cheese platter was and there was crumbs left! We nibbled on the cheese and fruit for a few minutes and we could have finished off the platter!

I was a little worried that with buffet style that the food might look messy but Steph and Jamie had it set up beautifully. I can not stress enough on how good their food is. It is a week after our wedding and we are still having guests tell us it was the best food they ever had at a wedding.

We did try Jamies desserts at our tasting(we didn't have them at our wedding due to budget constraints). Her desserts were sweet and delicious! I definitely recommend them, she is a very talented pastry chef.

We also used their bartenders and they were funny and personable and the guests loved them.

Thank you Steph and Jamie for providing the best meal at our wedding!

We met Jamie and Steph early in our search for a caterer for our wedding in Ojai. They were wonderful people, bringing us into their home for a tasting, and the food was absolutely outstanding. The sides, the meat, the desserts. I'm not kidding when I say Jamie made me the best cookie I have ever had in my life. EVER. And Steph's meat and sides are absolutely fantastic. I'm not a huge carnivore myself, so what stuck with me were the mashed potatoes. Heavenly. Unfortunately, we had to move our venue which meant we couldn't bring them in to cater in the end. If we could, we'd book them in a heartbeat. They were professional but down to earth, not to mention extremely affordable; and the food was outstanding.

Simply Marvelous catered our wedding at Gainey Vineyard in Santa Ynez in March.
They did an amazing job! I would recommend them to anyone.
Their professionalism and warm, generous attitudes through out the whole process was so welcomed through out our wedding planning madness. The food alone sold us on hiring them as it's the best BBQ and Peanut Butter cupcakes we've ever had. Their team's level of quality in food and service at the wedding only added to the positive vibes and what was an incredible day. I hope to hire them again for a future event. They are the BEST! I assure that you will have nothing to worry about when hiring Simply Marvelous as your caterer. They were thoughtful, generous, and sincere and great allies during what was a stressful yet fun time in our lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you Steph and Jaime!
