I attended an event catered by a Gala event yesterday. I was thoroughly unimpressed and downright disappointed that my friend had to spend so much money for such a horrible experience. I know for a fact they were catering for 120 twenty people and supposed to be fully set up by 2 pm. We arrived at 1:55 p.m. and half of the tables and chairs were not covered, nor were they set. At 2:30 some of the tables were still not set. One of the two dessert tables was also not covered or set up. We were served instant, sweetened tea with lemon flavor and it was about the grossest thing I've ever drank. Even the water had a horrible aftertaste. We were not given pitchers of water or tea until we asked for it. The servers were not friendly, but they were not outright rude either. The servers were not also briefed on who to serve salads to, consequently there were two tables that did not get salads. 20 adults did not get a salad. Apparently the kids under the age of 10 we're not supposed to get a salad but were served the salad anyway causing the shortage. After the salads were finished the servers then put the napkins on the table. The main chicken course was edible. Personally, I do not like chunks of meat in my mashed potatoes. But other seem to enjoy it. The server refused to allow access to the dessert table until a certain time. There should have been more than one server on the chocolate fountain as the line backed up to over 30 people a couple of times. The did a quick job of clean up, however no one would bring us more water either. Overall, I highly recommend you look elsewhere. There us a serious lack of organization and communication within...
Read moreJose embodies what a business owner should look like. His passion is making the event go beautifully, and man does he deliver!! Not only was he extremely easy to work with, he was extremely generous! One of our favorite parts about him is his upfront honesty! We hired A Gala Event Catering to serve food, alcohol, and set up our wedding, and we couldn't have asked for anything more! Everything was delicious!! It's 3 months after our wedding, and people are still raving about how delicious the street tacos (served as a late snack) were!! His entire staff (both bartenders and waiters) were extremely professional and helped make our wedding beautiful! 10/10...
Read moreJose was a dream to work with from the start. We met him at the San Fernando open house and immediately loved his personality as well as the comprehensive services and classy styles of A Gala Event. He helped make our wedding everything we wanted it to be, making us laugh plenty of times on the way. And when we made mistakes in the planning, he’d come save the day no problem. He was super flexible and always responded quickly to our needs. It’s clear Jose makes a personal investment in ensuring that each of his events is a success. We’d definitely book through him again! Highly highly recommend the yummy cordon bleu, meat empanadas, and the...
