Catering in Santa Barbara — your questions
Do you cater weddings in Santa Barbara?

Venues we cater in Santa Barbara include Regina Ranch, Villa Verano, Carousel House, Cabrillo Pavilion, Simpson House Inn, Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm, Santa Barbara Woman’s Club, Santa Barbara Historical Museum, El Capitan State Beach, Lions Park — and we bring our full team and kitchen wherever your celebration is.
How much does wedding catering in Santa Barbara cost?
Weddings in Santa Barbara typically run $140–$195 per guest for food, staff, bar service, tax & fees (based on a 100-guest wedding; rentals are quoted separately). Every event is custom. Your total depends on guest count, menu style, and bar service (Saturday events carry a $5,000 minimum). You can get an instant estimate in about two minutes.
Do you provide bar service and rentals in Santa Barbara?
Yes — we handle the full event: a licensed floral craft-cocktail bar, rentals, staffing, and a day-of captain, anywhere in Santa Barbara.
Can you cater a beach or waterfront wedding in Santa Barbara?
Yes. We cater the Santa Barbara waterfront — the Carousel House at Chase Palm Park and the Cabrillo Pavilion on East Beach — as well as El Capitan State Beach out on the Gaviota coast. What changes is the kitchen: the Cabrillo Pavilion has one on site, while at the state beach the reception happens out on a meadow with no catering kitchen, so the entire food operation travels with us. A state-park wedding also runs on a California State Parks special-event permit whose rules govern alcohol service, glassware and vehicle access, and we plan the bar and the load-in around them.
