We love Testa!

We absolutely loved working with Testa Catering for our wedding! They had tons of food options on their menus to choose from and their whole team was so accommodating. We did a pre-wedding tasting at their kitchen and their chef ended up making us a customized version of a chicken dish when we had something specific in mind. Along with the catering, we also used Testa for some of the decor rentals. Iris and her team were amazing to work with throughout the planning process. They were so helpful and really brought our vision to life! They took care of drop offs, pickups, and folded our napkins with menu cards and they made sure bride and groom were taken care of on the big day. We received so many compliments from our guests and the Santa Maria style barbecue was perfect for our venue. We are so grateful and glad we picked Testa!

We love Testa!

Iris and the Testa team are amazing! They delivered absolute perfection for our wedding earlier this month in SLO. Throughout the planning process Iris was incredibly responsive, helpful and worked with us to create the family style menu we wanted for our wedding. She also helped make accommodations for a few of our guests with food allergies which was super appreciated.

And the service! The food service on our wedding day from start to finish was excellent. The Testa team also helped with setup and breakdown which was amazing. Great food, incredible service, and overall an awesome team to work with. We have nothing but great things to say.

Thank you Testa team for making our wedding day perfect!

Excellent food

Compared to other caterers out there that we contacted they are a real value. Food tasted great, staff worked very hard (maybe could have used one or two more of them), variety of food abundant for the price, maybe ran out of a few items before last guest served. Met with us at venue and made it work.
