On the Vine was a required vendor to book with our wedding venue, but we are so grateful to have worked with them! All of the staff were extremely professional and attentive during the planning process and on our wedding day. The food is amazing and we received so many compliments. If we ever have an event where we would need catering, we will book them again without a doubt!

We can't say enough great things about Dave and his team! We worked with Dave for our wedding through Purple Orchid and were lucky to have him be part of our team. Dave took the time to understand the details of what we were looking for and executed it perfectly on our wedding day. Dave also worked closely with Pleasanton rentals to make sure our plates and cutlery were perfect. The food was perfect on our wedding day and many of our wedding guests-who are foodies-said that it was the best pasta they had ever had. We can't say enough great things about Dave and are very lucky to have had him and his team be a part of our wedding. -Jess and Jashwal

If hiring this company please beware of the following: 1) The main contact person who you have talked to and has "sold" you ( in our case Jill Black)will send a complete stranger to your wedding the day of the event. In our case the person representing "The Vine" did not have the courtesy to introduce himself/herself to us. To this day, we do not know who represented the catering company the day of our wedding. 2) At $56 a plate, "The Vine" threw away all our leftover food and our cake (which was not even catered by them).
No one had the courtesy to ask us if we would like any of our left over food even though we saw them packaging it in food storage containers. 3) Our guests had to actually complain for the staff of "The Vine" to stop picking up glasses of wine that were MORE than half full every time they stood up to dance or went to talk to other guests. Read your contract well and have them put in writing that they will not make the mistakes I mentioned during your big day.
