Country Garden Caterers And Cgc Facility

What an amazing experience we had for our wedding this past June 17th. Kim, Efren, Joel and the entire staff made our wedding day as memorable as we could have asked. From the ceremony to reception they helped us put on an amazing memorable day. We received rave reviews the food service provided by them from our entire guests.Highly recommend CGC and their staff for any type of event you may have in mind.

Country garden caterers did amazing!Diana helped me and my fiancé with the whole process leading up to our wedding and she did a fabulous job she definitely knows what she’s doing. The food was delicious and the staff working my wedding were super friendly and helpful and the bartender was great. I would definitely recommend them! Thank you again country garden caterers.

My sister got married here and it's nice for small intimate gatherings. However, the ceremonial section is set up upstairs and if you have anyone with mobility issues, it could be rather difficult for those individuals to be a part of the ceremony. The restrooms are downstairs, so again, it could be cumbersome. The dining or reception area is nice but there is a rather large lamp post in the center of the room that is immovable. The dance floor is by the bar and separate from the dining area, so if you're not a dancer, you'll have to either be in a separate room or get up and stand to watch ppl dance. The flooring on the dance floor is not flat so, in my experience, I had to remove my heels bc I stepped on a floorboard wrong and almost fell. The venue is in DT Santa Ana. Don't be surprised to see homeless people outside and across the street from the venue. The food was really good and the staff were very friendly and attentive throughout the night!

Warning: LONG DETAILED REVIEWTL;DR: Lori is amazing, and CGC is amazing. Don't look further!I normally do not leave any reviews on various websites, but Country Garden Caterers is worth every word of my review. I am also leaving 5 star reviews on a few other wedding website platforms because they are just PHENOMENAL.I want to give my utmost shoutout to Lori, one of the Catering consultants at CGC! She was such a joy to work with, funny, creative, responsive to my messages (calls/texts/emails). There are so many wonderful things to share about Lori, but I would like to highlight how she went completely above and beyond to help out a stressed out bride like me. She understands how stressful wedding planning can be (catering being such a HUGE part of the event) and listened to my concerns and request for help. I was struggling to find a third party rental for china plates, silverware and glasses a month out from the wedding, and she helped me secure all of that by working with her colleague (Andy) at CGC, for delivering, setting up and picking up all on the same day. She helped to order all the linens and nicely folded napkins. While she had so many other weddings to coordinate and plan, she was completely on top of it and did not make my wedding feel like just another wedding she had to work on. She is so personable, helpful, and available! I am so lucky to have worked with her for my wedding this past weekend.And how can I NOT talk about the food. Whenever I hear people rave about any kind of food, I am skeptical because the food ends up being underwhelming (too much hype). However, I was blown away by how DELICIOUS their food was. After attending their tasting, it was a no brainer to put down the deposit with them on the spot and secure them as our wedding caterer.For our cocktail hour hors D'oeuvres, we had coconut shrimp, bacon wrapped dates and wonton teriyaki crisps. They were all so delicious (my favorite was the bacon wrapped dates), my guests told me they went back for them several times.For our reception dinner, we had marsala chicken and brisket (special request to be served with their Jack Daniel BBQ sauce which Lori accommodated for us) as entrees, garlic mashed potatoes, sonoma salad, and grilled mediterranean veggies. Marsala chicken was so juicy and flavorful. CGC doesn't specialize in BBQ but their brisket is so juicy and soft, and the Jack Daniels BBQ sauce complimented the briskets so well. Garlic mashed potatoes were so full of flavor, and their sonoma salad is now my favorite salad, like ever. I've heard (and even experienced) wedding food being unmemorable, but CGC was completely different. So many people came up to the sweetheart table and told me the food was so delicious. One guest told me that our food was the best wedding food she has ever had in decades.Lastly, CGC servers was so professional, hardworking and provided exceptional customer service to our guests. I will definitely choose them again if I have to plan parties that require catering in the future.If my review didn't convince you already to choose CGC for your wedding, I don't know what will. You will not regret choosing them. Thank you Lori and CGC for making our wedding so special and memorable!

I've never been to this place but went for a wedding reception and loved it. Great atmosphere and classy. Very nice place to have an event.
