Country Garden Caterers is awesome! We were lucky enough to work with Kelly Butler, who is the champion of couples on a budget like a ourselves. She worked tiredlessly with us to make our day truly special! CGC's wedding packages were super flexible and very accommodating to any budget, as well as a great value. The food is really good (we had the chicken in tomato basil sauce) and their appetizers are delicious (I love the sweet potato mash martini bar!). I have to especially commend them for allowing us to change our rentals and guests final counts just a few days before the wedding, since we had lots of changes due to an ugly weather forecast. I've thanked Kelly personally for all her hard work, but now I would like to thank her and CGC publicly for the great job they have done for us!!

Diana was my coordinator and we booked with them a year before our wedding. We went to their open house and also did a formal tasting both were amazing. She was always willing to help with getting the details down and everything looked and tasted amazing! I would defiantly recommend them to any bride looking for a caterer!

Diana and Country Garden Caterer's were absolutely amazing and my husband and I couldn't have asked for anything more perfect for our wedding. We just got married on August 20th at the Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach, CA and Diana was not only our receptin coordinator, but the caterer, rental service and an amazing support to us through out our wedding planning. The food was so delicious and everyone at our wedding couldn't stop talking about the stuffed chicken breast and delicious tri-tip. Diana set up all our decor for us for the reception and did such a wonderful job at being organized, fun, creative and extremely professional with everything. I highly recommend using Country Garden Caterer's for all the food and rental services and having Diana be your wedding day coordinator!!! My husband and I are so glad we chose them for our wedding!! The prices were amazing, food was great, rental services looked amazing and the overall feel of our reception was very personal and warm feeling. Thank you so much Diana and Country Garden Caterer's!!!

Took all our worries away! After our first appointment with Country Garden Caterers and Diana Perkins I knew everything would fall into place the day of the wedding. She was wonderful to work with and very accommodating. My daughter and her husband were so please with all the attention to the details they had asked for. The cost was reasonable and the food was so delicious. She definitely alleviated the stress and made the experience so fun. I highly recommend Country Garden Caterers and Diana Perkins for any occasion.

I worked with Country Gardens for our ceremony and reception food and party rental needs. I also worked with Diana as our wedding coordinator. I cannot recommend them enough or give enough praise! You will not find better food for your event, not to mention that the prices have to be the most reasonable around. So many guests commented on how this was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. I also cannot say enough about how wonderful Diana was to work with. Diana brought my vision to life and then some. She is extremely creative and has an eye for decorating and setup. It is well worth it to have her as your coordinator. I did not worry about a thing in the days leading up to the event as Diana had it all under control. I was amazed when I walked down the aisle with how beautiful everything looked and even more amazed when I walked in to our reception at how gorgeous the setup was. My only disappointment is that the wedding is over so I won't have contact with Diana anymore! She truly became a friend throughout the process and provided so much guidance and support. Thank you Diana and thank you Country Gardens!

My husband and I met Diana more than one year before our wedding date. We immediately new she was going to be great to work with. Her welcoming, professional, and confident attitude made us feel at ease and reassured us that our event would be fabulous! Throughout the year we made several visits to Country Garden Catering to discuss plans, look at samples, and chit-chat. I even came to see Diana just to talk when I was stressed out! We went with all the vendors she recommended to us and even used her DJ..who was awesome!When our wedding venue gave us some trouble right before the wedding Diana stuck up for us and worked with us and the venue to give us our dream wedding!My husband wrote and performed music during our wedding ceremony and Chris Desrochers, Country Garden Caterers DJ was wonderful working with!Diana helped us with all our catering, coordinating, decorating, and party rental needs, and offered support and friendship during the most important time in our new lives together! Country Garden Caterers were without a doubt the best choice we could have made! We highly recommend her!

Diana and her staff were amazing! She was very easy to work with and was honest with every question that I asked. She was even able to add heaters to my venue the night before the wedding, after I realized how cold it was at the rehearsal dinner! The food was great and I couldn't have asked for a better day! I highly recommend Country Garden Caterers and Diana Perkins!

Thank You soooo much Sharon! I'm so glad I found CGC for my catering! The food was delicious, all my guests thought the sit-down dinner was scrumptious, not one complaint! Sharon (wedding coordinator) and her team did a wonderful job! They were prompt and on schedule. The dinner moved smoothly, they put on a great appetizer display, both the cake table and candy buffet looked absolutely amazing! My colors were lapis and white and they did lighting with crystals, omg, just gorgeous! Sharon was super nice, a super great and fun person to work with! She was bringing us drinks all night and took care of us from start to finish. Her team even boxed our stuff and gifts together! Super awesome catering company! The prices are superbly inexpensive for the amazing quality of food and set-up! A definite must, if you're on a budget! Thanks again!

Diana Perkins of Country Garden Caterers is amazing! Diana made the planning process for our daughter's wedding stress free! She is so creative and knows her stuff! Country Garden provided incredibly delicious food, created beautiful table scapes and buffet tables -- everything was absolutely perfect! Diana was so caring and attentive, like our daughter was the only bride on the planet! Our guests have done nothing but rave about everything Country Garden provided! A wonderful day it was!

I researched the internet and local caterers around my area but decided to go with Country Garden Caterers. I am extremely happy with my choice and completely impressed with Diane and her staff. Diane emailed me immediately with quotes and ideas. I chose to go with Country Garden Caterers because I felt comfortable with the pricing,and I loved the idea of them doing it all..food and set up. I immediately liked Diane and although I gave her the impossible task of squeezing 100 people into a tiny room..she did,and it was beautiful. The guests loved the food and are still talking about it today!The staff promptly picked up dishes,were professional to all guests, and filled the guests glasses..I was truly impressed.I highly recommend them and without a doubt,no regrets..Thank you so much for making my wedding day so memorable.Monica Bennett Uwarow

I was a DIY Bride that had to find an affordable location for my wedding. I was extremely lucky to have found Country Garden Caterers. Barbara DeRochers was such a blessing...she helped us as much as possible to fulfill our wedding dreams. My wedding was absolutely wonderful! Not only was the decor fabulous but the food was AWESOME!!! I had such an amazing evening and my guests all had a blast!!! I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

My son just had his wedding @ the Heritage Museum and it was catered by Country Garden Caterers. Wow, it was beautiful and the decor package was so much more than I expected. Diana is super, she just give you awesome ideas and puts you at ease so quicky. Last minute mistake on chairs on my part and called her a few hours prior to the wedding and it was changed out without a beat being missed. What a professional! Thank You.

My wedding was 10/16/2010 and all I can say is beautiful! Diana is such a great person and made us feel like she was family. People are still asking me for information to have an event at The Country Garden Caters facility. How great the food was from the chicken to the rolls...If I was able to bring home left overs. hahaha! The place was decorated perfect. Diana is awesome , Chris the DJ for the Facility had us Dancing all night long, the servers were on top of it and the bartenders were a fun group that had my family lauging!(It was like our own private club) I'm picky and need things to be planned out so I was a little nervous that I couldnt have every detail down but as we got closer to the wedding Diana broke every thing down and she made it happen! We looked around from hotels to caters and the price could not be beat! I love you guys and Thanks for making our Day special! We have a Large Family and cirlce of friends your services have been asked about and we will recommended you in a heart beat! THANK YOU AGAIN!

I can not say enough about this catering company. The food is fantastic. The service is beyond great. The value is out of this world.I was able to have a beautiful garden wedding with the grandeur of a hotel and stay within my budget! This is the only place you need to go! They will feed your guests, set up your rentals, dress your tables, pour your champagne... everything! I hired my coordinator through Country Garden Caterers, Diana, whom is more than fabulous! She knows her stuff. She is helpful and really enjoys her job. She totally spoiled me!I also hired my DJ, Chris, through Country Garden Caterers. He played all our music and was upbeat and professional.You can order your cake through a couple of vendors they work with. I chose Great Dane Baking and the cake was delish!!If you are looking for a place to one stop shop and you want to have a flexible caterer do not look any further. Give them a call!

Diana perkins and country garden caterers were absolute godsends. Planning a 200 guest wedding in 6 months could have easily been a nightmare, but Diana made planning my wedding the easiest most stress free time ever. Country Gardens had the best food and everyone at my wedding agreed. I came into this process full of ideas but absolutely clueless on how to make them work. Diana knew everything. They made my husbands and my wedding the best, most fun day of our life.

Country Garden Catering, Diana Perkins is a true artist. I must say my wedding was the first I've ever attended with delicious food, but that was just the beginning. Her staging is in one word STUNNING!!!! I wanted to set a ambiance where my guest could fall in love all over again and Diana did that. My wedding was truly magical... a true fairy tale. Not only was her work one of kind, but she is a true pleasure to work with. I made a friend and truly miss her. I love you Diana thank you so very much for turning my vision into a reality that I will forever keep close to my heart. My wedding was one no one will soon forget.

Diana was AMAZING! She did so much more than just cater the meal. Her extensive menu was more than apt for our event, and she was so helpful in all aspects of organizing and planning the evening. Diana was so flexible and easy to work with. She welcomed us to come try her dishes several times before choosing our menu. She allowed me to change numbers and menu items up the last minute! We were originally planning to make our own wedding cake, but days before the wedding, we turned to Diana and she pulled it off in a matter of days without a hitch! She is a caterer extraordinaire!
