Highly recommend Continental Catering! They were the best price and SOO flexible. Christie went above and beyond as a catering service offering their expertise and solutions outside of catering, and so flexible with all the changes they have. Their food was amazing as well, and our guests even went out of their way to let us know.

They catered a retirement party this weekend and were just great. With Covid there was a lot of calling back and forth and possible changes going on. They were just terrific about it. Turned out we moved out party outdoors and the weather cooperated! Continental came on time and set up all they needed to and the food was great. Their team went above and beyond and I would recommend them to anyone looking for an outstanding catering business.

Continental Caterers were a dream catering company for our wedding in October 2021. We were blown away at our tasting with them and they did not disappoint on the wedding day! We received a lot of compliments from our guests about the quality of the food. This was impressive also to me because we were eating outside in 53 degree weather and the food was still quite hot when we were eating. The company as a whole is super professional, all of their wait staff was so kind and attentive.

They were able to quickly and subtly deconstruct and reset tables that had gotten wet in the rain. I also want to compliment Brittany who is their coordinator. She is such a lovely human to work with - so thorough, professional, and kind. She really knows the company well and is very experienced. Overall, we had an awesome experience with them and would recommend them to anyone needing a caterer!

We hired Continental Caterers for our wedding that was originally set for 2020. We of course had to postpone, and postponing with Continental was so easy. We worked with Mike and then Brittney, who were both so great to work with. Brittney was always very responsive to our emails and with any questions or concerns we had, especially when we had to plan a wedding with changing guidelines! They assured us that they were taking precautions with safety measures, which we greatly appreciated.

The food at Continental is so amazing. So many guests raved to us about our food, especially our foodie guests, with the taste, quality, and look. My husband loves their pear salad and was actually looking forward to getting it on our wedding day, and he is not a person who cares about salad. Continental is a preferred vendor at our venue (Los Altos History Museum), so they know the setup and everything, which was an added bonus. Our wedding day went so smoothly, and we are so glad that Continental was a part of our wedding!

I attended a wedding in Villa Montalvo and the food was amazing. This was my favorite appetizer, fresh sashimi sushi garnished with an orange slice and green on top of a crispy tortilla. So fresh and Yum!
