Stop the search! You've found your caterer!

I've said this to Raquel numerous times, and I'll say it again "I couldn't have picked a better caterer for our event!" My friend gave me only 2 weeks to plan her wedding. I immediately went online to look for available caterers. I received a few responses and spoke to a couple of people. As soon as I spoke to Raquel, I knew that she would be a great fit.

With a very short period to plan, we immediately scheduled a tasting and we were blown away! The food at The Onion Tree was absolutely delicious! I've always enjoyed Indian food but they had such a wonderful twist to the cuisine, especially paired with Italian food. The restaurant also had a beautiful ambiance, very homey and comfortable.

Raquel made the planning and executing extremely easy. She was always open to ideas and super flexible. They served food at our event from a mobile kitchen and they delivered restaurant quality food! We had a few issues at the venue that caused delays and she was very calm about all the last minute changes and was able to adapt as necessary - a true professional! She also made sure that the bride was fed (we all know brides don't eat on their wedding day!)

I would definitely recommend The Onion Tree for any private events, I would use them again when I can. Even if you don't have a private event, make sure to stop by their restaurant in Sea Cliff, you won't regret it!!

Amazing Customer Service and Unbeatable Food!

The Onion Tree catering was absolutely amazing! We cannot recommend them highly enough!!!
Raquel was so kind and patient. Her clear communication and expertise were invaluable and made catering one of the most enjoyable and straightforward parts of the wedding planing process. The entire Onion Tree team took such good care of us. They were all incredibly kind and attentive to all our guests.
AND the food was AMAZING!! We have received SO MANY complements. Lots of people told us it was the best food they have ever had a wedding. There were lots of interesting and delicious options for all of our guests with their variety of food restrictions. I cannot give particular food recommendations because literally every option is incredible. The day of the wedding went off without any problems. We didn't have to think about catering at all! We just got to enjoy the food and company. We had an outdoor cocktail hour and a semi-indoors dinner reception, both with hot food.
We would HIGHLY recommend the Onion Tree Catering for your wedding!
