I hired Culinary Concepts for a private event on the USS Midway, 300 people. I could not speak higher of Gina Eliason and her onsite team. Thank you and your team enough for making our event a success! Our headcount for ordering food and cutlery was far too low, however with the help of this awesome team - we did not run out of food, so thankful. Their process for serving food moved quickly for our large group as well. The food was complimented by many! I knew that I had chosen a great partner to work with for this event. Culinary Concepts exceed my expectations!

Culinary Concepts was amazing from start to finish. If you are looking for high end cuisine and exceptional service, they are the best choice in San Diego! Huge thanks to Katie and Chef Coffman

Katie and Team were amazing to work with. The venue (Skybox) and the food package was exactly as described - outstanding!

We cannot say enough wonderful thing about Culinary Concepts! Katie and the entire team are the most helpful, fun, professional and talented people that we have ever had the pleasure of working with. From the very beginning they were incredibly flexible and helpful to create an amazing and yet perhaps not so traditional menu for our wedding. We wanted something fun with our favorite foods but on an upscale level and with a San Diego flair!

From the tasting beforehand every note was given careful attention and their advice made everything run smoothly and taste amazing on our wedding day! The level of services was so incredible with our cocktail hour appetizers waiting for us when we returned from pictures to extra dinner and cake wrapped up for us to take to our honeymoon suite in case we were hungry later. We also had a list of guests with food allergies they went to every single seat and talked to them personally and then brought them out beautiful plates so they did not miss a thing! We received so many compliments that it was the best wedding food ever! Thank you Culinary Concepts, we will be calling you again soon for any catering need!
