California Connection Gourmet Deli

I've had a long standing relationship with California Connection from my days as an event planner, which made them an easy choice for our wedding caterer! Their portions are always generous, prices affordable and the food delicious. We went through some trials - the past owner jumped ship and did not inform the new owners of our event, but thankfully the new management was super helpful once we were able to get ahold of them and everything was smooth sailing after that! Eric came by our property to do a walk through and review all previously agreed upon details and ensure a smooth handoff. We were offered a free tasting to ensure everything was just right, and our menu and prices were honored by the new head chef! One awesome thing about this caterer is that they came by the day before to drop off all of their supplies so that minimized their unload time day-of. Brilliant! Chef Lance was super friendly and kind when exploring our setup. It's those details that keep people coming back! Day-of, everything went off without a hitch. The crew was setup in time according to our timeline, and the food was delicious! Our bartender that we hired through California Connection, Christine, was amazing. She introduced herself to me ahead of time and was just so friendly and chill all night - great qualities in a bartender! The catering team left behind all of the uneaten food which was awesome since we'd paid for it - and what we didn't eat we donated to a local homeless camp. I look forward to doing business with this team in the future!

Yesterday California Connection delivered our holiday meal for 136 employee's. The food was phenomenal! We received nothing but positive feedback. The price point for the meal was reasonable as well.The service from the delivery and serving team was outstanding !They seemed genuinely happy to be doing the job...all smiles!Thank you California Connection, we will definitely be doing additional business with you in the future!

Rewind two years ago to when my husband and I were planning our wedding.We'd received quotes for $50 per person for food, let alone beverage, and that just wasn't going to fly with our budget. We kept looking and landed on California Connection.Gourmet Deli doesn't even begin to explain how incredible California Connection is at their job.We were on a tight budget and needed to feed a lot of people. They pulled it off with the utmost attention to detail, service, and quality. They served our guests buffet-style, where we opted for their horseradish crusted salmon and citrus rosemary chicken. Basic wedding food, but it was delicious and the price was right. On a side note, California Connection even allowed us to get a temporary beer and wine permit and bring in our own alcohol. Their servers were licensed to serve and worked the bar. This alone saved us a ton of money -- plus we were able to serve local beer and wine. If you're looking for a very affordable caterer, call California Connection and ask for Dan. They rock.

They did such a great job customizing the menu for our wedding reception, at a reasonable cost! We got the poached salmon, veggie mostaccioli and lemon herb chicken. All three were such a big hit with our family and friends, but the veggie mostaccioli in particular!! We barely had any leftovers because people kept going back for more! It was such a great experience, and I would recommend them to anyone.
