You get what you pay for!!!! Now don't get me wrong this is not the least expensive food, but it is the most delicious and beautiful food! But why would you get the cheapest food for your wedding?!?! I would think you want people to remember your wedding for how great everything was, not forget about your wedding because the food was ehh or so so. Well our guest cannot stop talking about how wonderful the food was, we had 3 different stations Mediterranean landscape, Buddha Bar and the Pasta bar (BTW my Italian family said it was some of the best pasta they had EVER HAD). This was in addition to our 6 delicious tray passed appetizers which our guest devoured! The service was impeccable the staff was dressed to impress, extremely professional and attentive. And my guest cannot stop talking about the FOOD! 24 carrots is the way to go if you want an event people will remember for all of the right reasons!

YUM!!! Need I say more? It was a joy working with Anne while choosing our menu. Everything we tasted was delicious that we knew that whatever we decided on that everyone would love it. And they did!!!

Overall, 24 Carrots was awesome! I was a bit worried at first that people would think that the Mexican food was cheesy, but EVERYONE complimented me, although I didn't make it, on how great the food was! We didn't get to have any of the hor'devours but I know from the tasting that they were amazing! We did get to sit down and enjoy our dinner. They had a team that plated and served our dinner, and even a team that went up to the suites to get the bridal party drinks and hor'devours. Everything tasted amazing. We did the Pablano Chicken which was nice and moist. We had buffet service and it looked like people were moving through the lines pretty quick. All in all- the service and food was great! 24 Carrots owns the venue so you have to use them for your food, but it's not a bad thing. They may be a little pricey, but you are getting good quality food and it all tasted great!

First of all, I wanted to try everything on the menu. After hours of salivating over the entire menu, we were able to narrow down our choice to the Southern Hospitality buffet. It was a different choice than I had ever seen at a wedding and we love southern food. The food at the tasting was so good and they let you take home the leftovers!! On the actual day, the food tasted exactly like the food at the tasting (which I'm sure it hard to do when cooking for masses). All of our guest still talk about the food and say it was the best wedding food...many even went back for seconds! Absolutely delicious!!!

I'm torn because, obviously the food at our tasting was much better than what we had at our reception. Part of it was probably because we had buffet rather than plated. The beef brisket that we had was amazing but I'm not sure I was really blown away by anything else. I was extremely hopeful because the food was soooo so good at our tasting. Nothing was bad of course. I would say if food is really important to you, then avoid going with buffet because it just doesn't taste the same when it come from a big tray of food. But you do get more quantity and people can go back for seconds. The late night kobe beef sliders were amazing but the ahi tuna tacos were too salty. So a little hit and miss unfortunately for me. Maybe we just didn't order the right things off the menu. Cost was great for food and drink. They separate rentals and staffing which means you don't have to pay tax on it but it adds a lot extra in the end than just the pricing of food/drink.

24 Carrots is delicious. Everything is phenomenal! Some things might seem a little pricey, but you are paying for quality and service and you definitely get it. Try the butternut squash ravioli and the crusted halibut. The coconut shrimp appetizers are amazing as well!

Everyone at 24 Carrots were great to work with! They made this major part of the wedding stress free for us. The service and food were amazing and all our guests had a great time. Lynn was on-site, ready to go and, when I realized we forgot something after the wedding at 11pm, she was quick to pick up the phone and help out!

There is absolutely nothing I can complain about when it comes to 24 Carrots. They are awesome to work with! My event specialist, Kimberlyn, was the sweetest person to work with not to mention super efficient, responsive and professional. She was a dream to work with - I'm sure the rest of 24 Carrots staff is just as great but if you get to work with Kimberlyn you will not regret it!
Our guests loved the food and service at the wedding - they are still raving about it! After the wedding, we saw so many photos of the FOOD on our friends' and families' Facebook pages! Everything about the event ran smoothly...at least to my knowledge...and if any issues did come up they must have handled everything asap b/c my hubby and I were never bothered or stressed out about anything catering related the entire night. I believe 24 Carrots is great at handling every last detail. They are a bit of an investment but they truly handle so many details and aspects of the event plus the fact that they are so pleasant to work with makes it worth the investment.

The food was phenomenal! The choices to choose from and quality were exceptional. However, the only thing we asked before paying for 6 hours of an open bar was that they not run out of Jack Daniels, and one hour before the bar closed, they did. Again, A+ service and food, just hoped they were more prepared behind the bar!

We worked very closely with Jami at 24 Carrots. She was FABULOUS. When we came for the first tasting, before we met her, there was a different woman (no longer there) and a different chef (no longer there). We were a bit dissatisfied with the tasting, but as soon as we contacted Jami, she quickly assured us we could come back and have another tasting. The second time around, we were thrilled with the results- the new chef is superb, and the appetizers, main course, and desserts were absolutely spectacular. Furthermore, the food was even better at the wedding. You wouldn't know they were cooking for 150 people!
Working with Jami was so incredibly easy. She responded to every email very quickly and efficiently, always with a positive and pleasant vibe. She had many helpful suggestions, and coordinated beautifully with all the involved vendors.
Finally, the staff of 24 Carrots on the wedding day far surpassed our expectations. They took great care of us, the bride and groom, from start to finish- from having a plate of appetizers and champagne ready for us at a remote location as we took pictures right after the ceremony, to having all our untouched food wrapped for a late night snack. We had an incident at our cocktail hour where some of the guests placed themselves right at the entrance where the waiters with appetizers emerged, leaving the majority of guests without food. The waiters recognized this and quickly reorganized. They cunningly outsmarted our guests by taking other routes to reach the rest of the hungry guests- WAY TO GO 24 CARROTS! :) This type of response is just an example of thoughtfuless and attentiveness that 24 Carrots gave us throughout the day and the planning process.

24 Carrots was fantastic! The food was delicious and everyone raved but they did so much more than food. From the chivari chairs, silverware, bar service...everything was done so well. We choose to have some after hours snacks tray passed and they were a huge hit! Lynn took care of us and was amazing. We wound up being a little under in our number of guests and they took some costs down which helped us save and pay for other things for the wedding. The staff was very professional and there was never a line at the bar. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.

Let me say that 24 Carrots is the best catering company that I have ever worked with or eaten food from! The food was mouth watering and the service was exceptional. I fell in love with their "candy bar cupcakes" at my tasting and had dreams about them for a week. Their presentation of their delicious food is also amazing, very creative and the perfect extra something that we were looking for.

OH MY GOSH- 24 Carrots did the most amazing job at my wedding!
I worked with Jami Willis pretty much exclusively, and she was amazing. She always got back to me, had great ideas, and made everything happen seamlessly.
ALL of my guests said it was the best food they'd EVER had at a wedding- and people were blown away by the service!
My mom said the thing she loved most about them was that it looked like they didn't even break a sweat! People were amazed to learn that they had set up a full kitchen and cooked everything on site.
All the food was fantastic- hot food came hot, cold food was cold, the presentation was amazing, and I loved how Jami worked with us to switch up the menu.
I did family-style service, and it was just pulled off perfectly. Short ribs, chicken, mashed potatoes, veggie lasagne- I wanted all the classics but done elegantly and with a twist- and 24 Carrots made it happen!
I can't say enough about them- and Jami in particular!
PS- after looking far and wide for great cupcakes, we did a tasting with 24 Carrots and decided to use them for dessert after all. Their desserts were incredible, and they even packed up the leftovers and put them in our fridge! (TRY the chocolate peanut butter pies!!!).

24 Carrots catered our wedding at Rancho Las Lomas. Since we did not have a choice of caterer, we were a little concerned because we have been to many a catered affair and usually are unimpressed or underwhelmed by the food. It's not possible to serve close to 200 people and have the food taste good too, is it? Well, apparently it is. We were truly impressed at how well 24 Carrots catered our wedding. The staff was professional and efficient. Plus, the food was delicious!

The food at my daughter's reception was wonderful. We had a few guests with food allergies and they adapted their meals perfectly and made sure the correct meals were given to those guests.

24 Carrots did a phenomenal job catering my wedding at Rancho Las Lomas! The guests are still talking about how delicious the food was and how they licked their plates clean. The appetizers, presentation, dinner and drinks were served professional by the wonderful staff. Bravo 24 Carrots!
