Midsummer Kitchen

I cannot recommend Midsummer Kitchen enough! Cleodia was super responsive and so helpful during the entire planning process. Chef Ryan and his team on the day of the event, went above and beyond and exceeded all expectations. Everything was delicious, and the vendors and guests are still raving about their experience!

Cleodia and her team are great! I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Cleodia and her team for a friend's wedding. I was the Day-of-Wedding coordinator and started working with Cleodia about 2 months before the wedding. Throughout the planning stage Cleodia and I conversed over the phone and via email; each time she was quick with her responses and patient with change orders that came along the way. She took the time to explain the details ensuring and prioritizing our comfort level. The day of the wedding Cleodia and her team did not disappoint. They were professional, always smiling, and very accommodating to everyone at the wedding. They even went above and beyond and offered to finish setting up a doughnut table that we were setting up, freeing us to take care care of other tasks! I enjoyed working with Absolute Celebrations Catering and hope to work with them again in the future. If you're looking for a great team to take care of your guests during your wedding, I advise you to give Absolute a ring!

Cleodia was always quick to respond and very informative. My husband and I did the tasting ($120) and loved all the items that Chef Brian cooked up. We especially liked the mango cucumber salad--so refreshing and delicious!! It might sound weird that the salad was our favorite, but we usually tend to like vegetables and fruits more than meat dishes. Which is also why I really enjoyed the vegetarian entree (risotto) a lot as well.We ended up choosing another company that offered other planning and decorations services because we are planning remotely and figured we need as much help as possible. The food at Absolute Celebrations is really good though and very reasonably priced!

We hired Absolute Celebrations to cater for our wedding reception on 9/30/17 at the Bently Reserve and it was one of the best decisions we've made in terms of wedding planning. Cleodia made the planning process such a breeze and accommodated our ever-so-changing plans without hesitation. She was extremely helpful, offered great recommendations and friendly as heck! The food was absolutely delicious and our guests couldn't stop talking about how yummy everything was from the appetizers down to the entrees. Price point was great and affordable which was the deal breaker for me and my husband. Great service, food and price. I wish I could give Absolute Celebrations 10 stars if I could!

My husband and I hired Midsummer Kitchen for our wedding and could not be happier! Cleodia was a pleasure to work with and the food was unbelievable. We actually had all vegan food, which even our carnivorous friends loved :) Months later, our guests are still talking about the food and referring to it as "the best wedding food I've had."Cleodia was also very sensitive to the needs of our guests who have dietary restrictions and was quite communicative. Cleodia and her team went above and beyond what we could have asked for. I cannot thank them enough!

Amazing caterer and unreservedly recommend to anyone. Cleodia and every one of her staff were great to work with, highly responsive, and made excellent, highly complimented food.In particular she put together a custom menu that both midwest and asian grandparents loved. Every one of our guests has raved about the food and drinks but together by her team. We did the family style dinner and each table had so much food left over, they were so blown away. We also rented chairs from them as well and found the set up and breakdown so smooth. She also worked hard to make sure she understood our idea for the ceremony and that the set up of the chairs/tables matched what we wanted.Thank you for working so hard to make our day special, and you should give her the chance to do so for yours as well! 1000% highly recommended!!!

Cleodia and her team were amazing! They catered our wedding this weekend, and we had so many compliments from our guests about the food. My family was super impressed (and they are hard to please). We appreciated the variety of food that they had to offer and the great communication. Thank you!

Just attended a wedding catered by Midsummer Kitchen. Everything (I mean everything) was wonderful. Food and service were beyond any expectations. Thank you

Midsummer catered my son's wedding reception in San Francisco. The did an outstanding job on both the food and the service. The food was delicious, plentiful and arranged on the buffet table beautifully. I would highly recommend Midsummer Kitchen for any upcoming events.

We hired Claudia and her staff for my mother's memorial service lunch on 3/5/22, since they had done a great job at our son's wedding a few years ago. We were very happy with them. There were about 100 guests expected. They responded quickly to all emails, were gracious and thoughtful and efficient, promptly sent updated invoices to reflect changes in our plans, and made useful suggestions re menu, tablecloths, napkins, etc. The food looked and tasted great. They accommodated my request that a lot of it be free of gluten, cilantro, and nuts. Some of our guests asked who the caterer was as they wanted to hire them as well for a future event. I can't say enough about what a pleasure it was to work with this outfit.
