Heirloom catered my office holiday party on just a couple of weeks' notice, and with a couple unusual requirements. My expectations were exceeded in every respect, such as the real garland centerpiece that they put on the boardroom table, the linens, glassware, and silverware, and especially the service. The staff were literally standing in the room making sure that we were all completely satisfied. The setup integrated nicely with our karaoke rental, which was itself a big hit. I loved how the liquor and beverages that I provided were presented to guests-- it added so much to the event that would not be the case with a self-service bar. Ana had visited the site the week before the event and was taking notes of all the features in the space, as well as the requirements. We had a couple of vegetarians, so it was helpful getting a separate vegetarian dish and vegetarian appetizers for them as well. The prices were completely fair and I have zero complaints-- was a great value overall. Everyone had a great time, and Ana even followed up with me the next day to make sure my expectations were met. Can't wait for next year!

Heirloom just catered our daughter's wedding in Portola Valley at the backyard of our friends home. They did a fantastic job- the food was excellent and more importantly, their service and attention to detail was terrific. All our guests marveled at the delicious food. The staff was very friendly and professional. I can't rate them highly enough.

Our family found Heirloom to help us plan our Nona’s celebration of life reception - and we were so grateful! From the first interaction, Kirstin and John provided gentle and considerate care with all aspects of planning from logistics (in our home) to menu planning (for a traditional Italian family full of home cooks), and close out (left our home spotless and handled financial logistics next day).Heirloom delivered a meal that truly reflected the traditions of our family culture- beautifully presented, fresh & delicious. (Even our great auntie went back for 2nds!)Kirstin and John gave our family the gift of happiness and deep comfort during an otherwise hard day. We highly recommend Heirloom.

I felt compelled to write a review about heirloom Catering, even thought they have not actually catered an event for me.....yet. I hired them to cater my Dad's 101st birthday in September, after not being able to celebrate his 100th last year due to Covid. I had given them a 50% deposit and then the Delta Variant reared it's ugly head. The family decision was to cancel the party once again. I reached out to my contact Brittney, knowing that with their cancellation policy as is, they could rightfully keep my deposit. She spoke with the owners of the company and they kindly and generously offered to work with me, due to my Dad's age and the ever changing Covid climate. I am so impressed with their responsiveness, customer service and willingness to be flexible, that I can only imagine how amazing their food and event oversight would have been. I will most definitely use them in the future and I highly recommend anyone looking for a great catering company should contact Heirloom Catering! Brittney and everyone at Heirloom, thank you again for being so wonderful. I'll be in touch.

Lindsay and her team provided excellent food and service- for our wedding. We added a little Texas into our California wedding with Texas brisket that got rave reviews from my Texas family! That says a lot! Their attention to detail, service, and just making things run smoothly was outstanding! Lindsay even made sure that Scott and I sat down and ate as the bride and groom! Thank you so much!!!! Vanessa and Scott

Heirloom catering helped me throw a small socially distanced outdoor soiree for my husband's 50th. This was before any restrictions were increased. Everything done per CDC recommendations and requirements. Heirloom helped me pull together an amazing, delicious, creative, and safe socially distanced event. The food was savory and inspiring. In addition to the food and drink, they guided furniture placement and decor to create a socially distanced yet inviting and comfortable environment. The proprietor is thorough, experienced, and detailed oriented, which results in a wonderful event. Thanks to her and her team, I was able to enjoy the evening and not feel flustered being the hostess. They really took care of it all. I highly recommend Heirloom, ranging from family meal kits and holiday meals, to small socially distanced events, and then onto the larger ones we all hope to have once we beat this pandemic!

Heirloom Catering is amazing, creative, flexible, professional, and accomodating. they helped me put together a small socially distanced outdoor soiree for my husband's 50th. They offered lots of creative delicious course options that my small group of mask wearing friends loved. Heirloom helped arrange the backyard furniture and tables to support a safe yet comfortable setting. Their chefs produced amazing 5 star dishes and their bartender servers were stellar. The owner, Donna is always spot on with all the details and making everyone feel special. she is detailed oriented and it shows in the end result. I highly recommend Heirloom from everything to intimate family quarantine meals, socially distanced small events and to the big ones we all can't wait to have once we beat this pandemic.

Love love love this company! They are so thoughtful and provide excellent customer service. We have made this a routine place to get our meal needs met. The staff is just wonderful and they are on time and super professional.
We hired Heirloom Catering to cater our dinner at home for 10 for the evening of our wedding. It was delicious and very well done! Jayne was a phenomenal partner leading up to the event to help us craft the perfect menu and set up the right logistics. She was responsive to our budgetary constraints as well as our dreams about the evening. The food was delicious. In particular, we loved the peach and burrata salad and pesto grilled shrimp. There was plenty of food and the leftovers have been delicious as well in the days after.We also hired Megan to help us set everything up, serve, and clean up. She was incredible! She was very flexible, adjusting in real time to our schedule and helping us pour the champagne on our live Zoom toast. She also managed the delicate wedding cakes like a pro. She also wore a mask and gloves the entire time to make sure we all felt comfortable with health and safety. After dinner, she hand-washed all of the glasses, loaded the dishwasher in the most organized way we have EVER seen it, and packed up all of the leftovers.

I just ordered our easter dinner from Heirloom Catering Co -- it arrived on time and the food was absolutely amazing (salmon, lamb chops, risotto, asparagus, beautiful cream puffs). Something I really liked was that the food came in foil tins with specific reheating instructions. All I had to do was stick it in the oven for approx 30 minutes in the same tins they delivered the food in and then transfer it to serving platters (this was for takeout, so I'd imagine if they cater your event in non-quarantine times they bring their own trays, etc.). I would definitely order from them again/hire them for a larger event. Thanks, Heirloom!
