I hired Laurel’s Catering for an intimate party for my Husband’s 70th Birthday and was so totally impressed that I want to tell everyone about them to anyone who will listen! ! From soup to nuts she and her Chef husband Matt did an amazing, incredible job! Laurel has this amazing ability to connect with you and anticipate all your needs and wants. No is not in her vocabulary. She goes above and beyond and is an immense pleasure to work with. The plethora of food choices are beyond and the cuisine was over the top delicious. A taste sensation in the mouth. When I lived in Hawaii we used to say “broke da mouth” good! I have celiac’s disease and my husband is a picky eater and they managed to prepare and present amazing, delicious items– every single one of them! I can’t speak highly enough about these two! Hire them, you will not be disappointed but rather delighted and impressed as I was! You guys rock!!!!

Fabulous dinner for 13 of us with complex dietary needs (vegetarian, gluten free/vegan and gluten free). Everyone’s needs were met and the food was INCREDIBLE.

It was spectacular and the food was exceptional. Laurel had every single detail taken care of so the bride, groom and guests could enjoy the event. Her husband Matt is an outstanding chef. Our guests raved about the food. Her team provided amazing service. The bride and groom were so grateful for Laurel’s help making this event pretty much stress free. I am using Laurel for another event this month. I highly recommend!

Be assured that she is extremely reliable and professional. She’s also a delight to work with. The buffet spread she put on was both delicious and beautiful and her staff was super friendly and hard working. Highly recommend.

We invited Laurel to cater our wedding brunch on the morning after. She was thoughtful and flexible in incorporating our preferences. Our guests loved the food, especially the quiche and french toast, and even received the french toast recipe. The team was friendly and organized, and we appreciate how they left the venue spotless. We would love to work with Laurel again.

She worked with me to create a special menu that accommodated a variety of dietary restrictions. Laurel went the extra mile to coordinate with me throughout the process, which made it seamless. I highly recommend using her catering services – it makes for a unique and memorable experience!

Laurel helped me plan a Memorial Service for my father at Tulocay in Napa. It’s difficult to plan since there are not RSVP’s but she worked with me to plan a menu that when executed, was just perfect. She also helped with all the details like cutlery, plates, table decorations, drinks, glasses etc. with budgetary considerations and who would be attending in mind. It can be a stressful time but I found that she was one step ahead of me and everything she did made the whole experience less stressful and in the end, a perfect celebration of life for my Dad.
I have worked with many caterers so I can say from experience that her prices were extremely reasonable and the quality of the food was top notch. My Dad was a foodie and I wanted to do him proud and he certainly would have approved of the feast that Laurel prepared. She was a great person to work with, and her hard working staff was also very professional and nice.
I highly recommend Laurel’s catering for any event you may be planning.

Dinner itself was so tasty. Most of us were stuffed from eating and drinking wine all day and Justin was kind enough to box it up for us. We started with a beautiful cheese and cracker spread followed by tray passed small bites both packed with flavor. Then we sat down for the main courses starting with wild mushroom soup, salmon tarts and perfect filet with roasted veggies. We had a grapefruit palate cleanser then concluded with dessert. Justin and his fiancé fit right in with our group. Everything was so delicious.
I thought the food and service was very reasonably priced and I would recommend this company to anyone looking for quality food and good service. Cheers!

From the beginning, Laurel organized and handled all aspects of the menu planning, providing specific attention to detail with personalized meals, activities, beverages, wine selection and more. Laurel also arranged a special private tasting at a local winery. Let’s just say that leaving all of this planning and organization to such great hands was wonderful! We always felt listened to and taken care of.
The food, well let’s just say Matt is outstanding. All of our guests raved and could not contain their appreciation for the fantastic, fresh, hearty, healthy, savory and sweet! It was a whirlwind to our tastebuds! From the Creme Brûlée french toast bake and the homemade gravlax salmon, to the wonderful lobster and filet with roasted veggies.
Laurel and Matt spoiled us at every turn — like fresh cut flowers and a divine chocolate in each room! If you want to create a special and memorable event, one that your guests will savor, Laurel’s Catering is the way to go. This really was one of the best catering experiences I have had out of many and I can recommend them with no hesitation.

If it’s possible to add more stars… I would.
Matt McNally and Laurel Timms McNally not only provide delicious food, they also are thoughtful and caring people and do great service.
And you don’t have to worry about a thing at your own party!
Thank you Laurel & Matt!
