    FFAK was great to work with!

    Kreshana is the best! She helped us coordinate our dream wedding dinner and was so responsive and organized. Even when we had a last minute mishap with one of our rentals, she responded on her day off and helped us fix the situation. FFAK was great to work with especially kreshana!

    Walking down the Giles

    Michelle and Sue were wonderful to work with! Feast for a King catered my daughters wedding for 220 people. The food was delicious and everyone raved about it. We had plated salad and a buffet and the guests were served and seated very fast. I would highly recommend using them. Very professional and easy to work with.

    I absolutely loved everything!

    I absolutely loved having the opportunity to work with Michele! From the very beginning I knew I could trust her judgment and style. She had the perfect vision for what I wanted. I told her (pretty vaguely, if I'm being honest) what I was thinking and she took it completely brought my visions to life.

    My wedding at Rancho Soquel turned into an absolute dream thanks to her and my wedding coordinator, Elyse, from the Wedding Connection. I felt 100% comfortable with the two of them and knew I was in great hands. Not only were the tables/chairs/linens absolutely perfect, but the food was also amazing! Michele also would send me emails on ideas for cakes and other linen/tablescape ideas when I would present them to her. Michele answered my many emails in a timely manner.

    I truly could not have asked for more and I think that she really helped our day run so much more smoothly. I would HIGHLY recommend.

    Delicious & Inclusive

    Feast for a King just catered our wedding this weekend, and it was fabulous. We had a crowd of 90 including carnivores, vegans, gluten-free and dairy-free guests. They delivered something delicious to everyone, and it was great hearing people say how much they appreciated being fully included.

    We'd found them through a tasting event they did, and I think the thing that sold me was their vegetarian galette. One bite and I knew it was something far more satisfying and creative than the over-used grilled portabella, eggplant, and "veggie plate" that is all too often the vegetarian option.

    Not only was the food incredible, but the service was absolutely first-rate. Friends, including those who have worked in food service, commented on how impressed they were with the caliber of the staff.

    I can't say enough good things about Feast For A King! I was lucky to attend a tasting at the venue I had booked a week after booking it, because that made it easy to choose them! THE FOOD IS AMAZING!!! We looked at other caterers, of course, as we had a specific budget. Also, we wanted to have an awesome burger bar. Kim, the owner, worked with us to fit our budget, and helped come up with an incredibly fun and delicious menu! Michelle was incredibly helpful when we had issues with finding the table settings we wanted, and made it happen for us! Everything was perfect. Our guests raved about the amazing burger bar and delicious sides! The apps and drinks were gorgeous and so fun! Also, the staff that served and set up all the seating/tables for the ceremony and reception worked so hard! They were very nice too! We loved it so very much, and thank Feast For A King for their efforts and skills that helped make our wedding the BEST DAY EVER!!

    Kim and Michelle have been an absolute pleasure to work with - they're both so responsive and extremely helpful. Leading up to the wedding day and even on the day itself they were so attentive and made sure that every detail was taken care of. I also had them help with my rentals for china, flatware, tables, etc. Everything went so smoothly and they were so open to customization.

    We went with the BBQ menu, and added a bit of the thing we liked - grilled veggies and mac n cheese. We heard great things about the food, especially the bbq chicken which was so tender. We also went with to go chocolate cookies for when guests were leaving - we heard so many good things about the cookies and everyone was asking us where they came from.

    Thanks again for making this day so wonderful!

    We had Feast for a King cater our wedding earlier this summer, and what a great decision that was. The food was absolutely amazing, I am still hearing from my guests how delicious the food was, and that it was the "best wedding food they've ever had" (and I would have to agree, especially as we ate the leftovers the next day). Everything tasted so fresh too! The service was top notch as well, everyone was so friendly to my guests. Exceptional food, and exceptional service - you can't go wrong!

    Prior to the wedding, I worked with Kim to finalize all the little details. She is truly a professional, and SO easy to work with! She was very responsive via email, and always remembered all the little details/changes we had discussed. At the catering walkthrough, she put me at ease and really demonstrated that she knew the venue inside and out, providing me a very detailed layout of where all our rentals would be. She was also very patient with me as I changed my mind a few times throughout the planning process - and was always so excited with my new ideas (which I definitely appreciated). Such an enjoyable experience working with Kim, she definitely knows what she is doing!

    Thanks again Kim & team for catering my wedding! Such a memorable day, and you played a big role in that.

    I had Feast for a King cater my wedding two weeks ago and everything was outstanding. We had an initial tasting and Kim worked with us to customize a menu that we loved. The food was delicious at our wedding and the dinner rehearsal, which we had them cater as well. We had their support as full-service, so were able to work through all of the many details of what was needed. Kim was amazing to work with, and made suggestions to make sure every detail was covered. With her assistance, we chose all dinnerware, glassware, special serving pieces, linens, chairs, umbrellas, and the dance floor. They even arranged to have an ice cream bar for us, working with a local shop to have specially made flavors. It was one of the many highlights. She came to our location and worked out the site plan so it was realistic and had a great flow for guests. The set up went smoothly on the day of, from what I could tell, and ultimately everything was arranged beautifully. All of the service was outstanding, and again, everything went smoothly from beginning to end. I can't express enough, my gratitude to the whole team for their hard work that created this wonderful, memorable and laid back event for us. I would absolutely work with them again.

    Kim and her staff were excellent. From the first moment of contact we felt assured about the quality of service and food we would received. We enjoyed the taste testing and assistance in table setting, along with the visit to the venue for layout. The wedding day was simply beautiful with the staff timely, attentive, all while meeting our needs and those of all of our guests. Everything was as we had planned or requested. Their clean-up was thorough. We would highly recommend them and are so very glad we chose Feast for a King. Kim is a jewel.

    I'd like to start this review by saying that I STILL get compliments on the wedding food... and it's been several months since my wedding.

    I originally found Feast for a King online and only contacted them and another vendor. Upon meeting with Kim Santia I was sold. The presentation, the taste, the color, the professionalism... everything was amazing!! I booked my date right then and there. One of the best decisions I made!!! Kim was insanely professional, courteous, knowledgeable and just a pleasure to work with. Kim was not afraid to give me advice and I could tell she wasn't trying to sell me the world, she was definitely concerned about budget and told me when I started going crazy with my food choices. Not only this, but Kim coordinated all my tables, chairs, linens, tableware... and was so patient with me when I took FOREVER to choose my final linens. Come the day of the wedding, everything was exactly as promised!!! The food and service was perfection!! I'm pretty sure there were no leftovers either! hahaha! And the linens (which were mostly her choice) were everything I could have wanted and fit my vision perfectly!!! Thank you so much Feast for a King... and to anyone reading this.. please choose Feast for a King... you will NOT be disappointed!!

    Kim did a great job with our wedding. I wanted it to have a vintage feeling and she chose the best plates, silverware, glasses and table linens to create that feeling. I was planning the wedding from Boston (it was in California) and she always had the time to meet with me when I was in town at the venue.

    The food was great, there was a small mix up with something I had requested but everything went smoothly. The food was amazing, people were raving about the lamb chops weeks later!

    The staff were great and super helpful! Overall they did a great job!

    We chose "Feast for A King" for our Wedding Catering. Kim and her catering crew did an amazing job!! The food was sooo delicious!!, and they're service was top notch! I got many compliments from our wedding guests about how great the food and services were. And, Kim was so professional and nice to work with! She was very personable, and made us feel right at home. She also offered rental services (through Alexis party rental) for all of our needs (ie chairs, tables, linens, dishes...); and worked with our wedding coordinator to organize all of that stuff so all we had to do was chose the color and style--which made life much easier during the fast approaching months before our wedding! I highly recommend "Feast for a King" catering, they are fantastic!!

    "Kim and her team truly exceeded our expectations. Between she, our venue, and our coordinator we honestly had the Wedding Dream Team! The value and quality of the food offered was phenomenal. We enjoyed choosing from the wide menu selection and choosing from many dinnerware options. The presentation of the food was outstanding and we had so many compliments from our wedding guests about how delicious, fresh, and well prepared all of our food was! We highly recommend Feast for a King and will most definitely be choosing them for other future events!

    We worked mostly with Kim in planning the catering and rentals for our wedding. When we first met with her, she was informative and professional and had great options for food, linens, and tableware. The food tasting was exceptional, we were right away impressed by the food compared to other tastings we had been to. Once we booked with her she provided us with a write up of all our food, linen, and tableware choices with a list of prices/quotes next to each item.

    Over the course of 8 months, the price per place setting went up from $6 to $7 to our final quote of $8 per place setting. When asked about this, Kim said that the original $6 quote was an error and that it should have said $8 all along.

    She was difficult to get a hold of until at least 1-2 weeks before the wedding date. Once, she was focused on our upcoming wedding then we were able to meet with her to make last minute detail changes with linens and rentals.

    Kim was not there the day of the wedding, but the staff who were there were very professional. The food was good, but one of the main entrees was different than the tasting. At the tasting, the lasagna was full of butternut squash and kale, at our wedding the lasagna consisted mostly of limp noodles and cream sauce with very little squash or kale. This was disappointing, but otherwise the food was a hit.

    We believe that our guests were appropriately offered water and drinks throughout the reception, however, the groom and I were only offered once. After our initial glass of wine, no one offered us a drink again and this was also disappointing.

    Otherwise, we had a lovely wedding day with professional staff and good food. Our only disappointments were the lasagna, the lack of drinks, communication, and increased catering costs.
