831 Catering — Local services in Monterey

Where do I begin? Joseph, Kimberly, and the entire 831 Catering team were an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. After interviewing many catering companies, we immediately felt at ease with Joseph and his team and knew we could trust them to cater our intimate wedding of 50 guests in my mother- and father-in-law’s backyard.

Joseph was incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the menu planning process and in the months leading up to our wedding. On the day itself, the 831 Catering team worked seamlessly behind the scenes. Before cocktail hour, they created an impressive grazing board display featuring figs, crostini, assorted cheeses, and cured meats. After our ceremony, they quickly transitioned the space, switching out chairs, setting up tables, and making everything look absolutely perfect.

After cocktail hour, dinner service began my husband and I were served our own plate to enjoy while guests mingled, and dinner was served family-style with generous portions of beautifully presented mains and sides, all rich in flavor and beautifully garnished. All of the servers were super friendly and attentive to both my husband and I and our guests. To finish the evening, we were treated to a stunning dessert spread that included cheesecakes, mousse cups, cookies, and other sweet treats.

831 Catering exceeded every expectation: professional, kind, and talented. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help make our day so special. We can't recommend...

The team was so attentive during the whole day, I honestly don't think our wedding would have been as successful without them. We had tight spaces and a bit of an unconventional timeline, which 831 handled with the utmost ease, professionalism and care. And that's not even getting started on the food. By the time my husband and I joined the party after our ceremony, everyone was already raving about how delicious everything was, and man they were right. Every dish on our menu was so tasty and well-presented. They really just made the day. Thank you Joseph and team for your care and your...

I was referred to 831 & Joseph while calling around the area to find a caterer for our event at Laguna Seca. Immediately after speaking with him I knew there was no one else I wanted to hire for the job. Communicating with Joseph was effortless and a pleasure even while being halfway across the country. The catering was by far the best I have ever seen at a race hospitality suite. It looked stunning, it made sense for the space, it was creative, and beyond delicious. Joseph took so much responsibility off of our plates and took initiative to solve problems before we could even think about them. I am so grateful to the entire 831 Catering team and hope we can all work together on future events! (should have taken...
