Anything But Ordinary Catering — Local services in Oceanside

I can’t say enough about Cassie and the Anything But Ordinary experience.

Décor – Cassie is a master of the vintage, shabby chic look that is so popular. She has been known to decorate with vintage dressers, wine barrels, old windows, even a vintage sofa! From the big displays to the table settings, she and her team transform a venue into a beautiful personalized setting for every event.

Food – You will always get a delicious meal, and then some, at an ABO event. Chef Cassie and her team of sous chefs prepare and serve amazing appetizers (caprese kabobs, satay chicken, coconut shrimp, lime ceviche), and the way her staff tray-passes them adds a lot of elegance.

Beverages – The beverage bar with water, lemonade, and ice tea lets thirsty guests serve themselves, and the bar staff takes excellent care of those seeking stronger libations. Whether they’re serving customized bride & groom cocktails, beer and wine, or a full bar, Cassie’s team keeps every guest’s glass full.

Coordination – ABO’s on-site coordination makes events seamless – it’s so easy when the same team is handling your catering and the execution of your event. Cassie and her team have coordinated hundreds of weddings and lend a zen-like confidence, and the ability to troubleshoot any problem.

Rentals – A huge perk of working with ABO is the ability to use Cassie’s event supplies – linens, glassware, dishes, tables, chairs – all at a huge savings compared to a standalone rental company.

Staff – It’s obvious that the Anything But Ordinary staff like what they do. Most of the time, they’re such hard working professionals that you don’t notice them, but they are a diverse group of heavy lifters, big smilers, always...

WOW. This catering company put on the most INCREDIBLE baby shower party for me. They took care of everything from the food to the entire set up and decorations. I was so blown away I dont even know where to begin. The food was amazing. Appetizers past around by an amazing staff, a salad station and then a buffet styled dinner. Everything was prepared beautifully and tasted great. Dessert station was incredible I couldn't believe how amazing it looked and tasted. And then the set up... they set everything up, got all of the decorations, customized everything with our babys name, and had BEAUTIFUL flower arrangements. I just really cant get over tasteful and well done everything was. Everything went so smoothly and I cant think of a single thing I would have changed. They also took everything down and cleaned up perfectly. Seriously, they REALLY know what they are doing. I am just so blown away. My guests and myself had such a great time thanks to you. I cant express enough gratitude for you and your staff. This was truly a party for the books and I will HIGHLY recommend you guys to anyone that crosses my path. Thank you, Anything but Ordinary, for a truly extraordinary,...
