Antonio Ayestarán Custom Catering — Attraction in Grass Valley

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Antonio for my wedding on October 4th, 2025, and I can honestly say the experience was nothing short of amazing from beginning to end. From our very first conversation, Antonio was kind, professional, and incredibly communicative. Before our tasting, he called to walk through the menu and help us build something we knew we’d love. His menu offers such a wide variety of delicious options... it was honestly hard to narrow it down! We also really appreciated how flexible he was. Every dish was customizable, and he made sure everything reflected our tastes and preferences perfectly. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Antonio was always available to answer my questions. He never made me feel like a bother and always responded quickly and kindly. On the wedding day, Antonio and his team truly went above and beyond. Everything was perfectly executed, from cocktail hour to the main dinner service to dessert. Even though my husband and I weren’t able to attend cocktail hour, his team made sure to bring appetizers to us, which was such a thoughtful touch, and so appreciated. The food was an absolute hit. We are still getting compliments from guests saying it was some of the best food they've ever had at a wedding. People couldn’t stop talking about the appetizers, the flavorful entrees, the sides... everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. And the desert bar had so many options, there was a flavor for everyone there! Several guests said they would love to hire Antonio for their own events. His staff was just as incredible...professional and attentive. They kept everything running smoothly while making sure our guests were well taken care of. I can’t say enough great things about Antonio and his team. If you're looking for a caterer who not only delivers exceptional food but also top-tier service and a true sense of care and professionalism, Antonio is the one. He helped make our wedding day unforgettable, and we are...

Antonio and his team are absolutely amazing! Antonio was one of the approved caterers on our venue’s list, and the minute I spoke to him, I instantly adored him. He is the kindest, most genuine person, and working with him was such a joy from start to finish.

Our tasting was incredible — we loved everything we tried. Antonio could truly do no wrong. He was so easy to work with, incredibly accommodating with food allergies and preferences, and always made us feel confident and excited about the menu.

On our wedding day, Antonio and his team exceeded every expectation. They completely doted on my husband and me and made us feel so special. The food was absolutely outstanding — not only did everything taste amazing, but the presentation was beautiful. Every dish looked as good as it tasted. Our guests are still raving and keep telling us it was the best wedding food ever!

The bartenders were equally wonderful, serving delicious cocktails with professionalism and a smile. Food was one of the most important parts of our day, and Antonio delivered beyond anything we could have imagined. I can’t recommend him and his team enough — they are...

Antonio catered our wedding at Harmony Ridge Lodge in September and we are so glad he did! Antonio's food is amazing! We were very mindful about having great food and lots of it for our guests so Antonio was the perfect match. At our tasting we asked for our tofu dish to be spicier and on the day Antonio got it exactly right. For us, great food is an important part of what we wanted for our wedding and Antonio definitely delivered with his braised rib, cuban pork sliders and spicy mango salsa on tofu!! Friends told us not to worry as we won't end up getting to eat on the day, ha! We ate plenty! Antonio's staff had exceptional attention to detail and were even able (and kind about) to cater for two last minute guests. The bar tender kept our guests happy and was very nice and personable. What is included in the package is great value for money as the set up, pack down, ice, bartender and gratuity all included really helped for a seamless experience. Thanks to Antonio...
