We hired Linda and her team for our fall, 2021 wedding in Sutter Creek. I am astounded at the work she did. This is a full-service catering company complete with linen rentals, table set up, bar tending, serving, clean up and DELICIOUS food! I couldn't have asked for anything better on the wedding day I was planning and coordinating myself. Throughout our planning process she guided us through and helped us put together a menu by creating a mind-blowing "tasting" for us. The "tasting" really was her dropping off boxes of food, enough for us to share plenty with our neighbors! She covered our kitchen counters with everything you can possibly think of - mac n cheese, garlic mashed potatoes, prime rib, chicken, pork, caprese appetizers, baked Brie appetizers, and so much more. She even brought us a box of desserts to try and created a breathtaking dessert display! At the end of the night her team completely cleaned up and left the venue flawless. I am so so so grateful to have found her AND her pricing. She could get away with charging double for her services if she wanted to. To top it off, Linda is the kind of person you want to be around. She is so warm and welcoming and feels like a family member versus a vendor. We were ecstatic to have her. When we get pictures I will absolutely update!

Linda was the best catering service we could have asked for for our wedding! I agree with the reviews below that share how amazing her tasting is to begin with. Linda is a generous person who cares about her clients just as much as she cares for her business. Linda went above and beyond to offer me things that the average caterer does not- such as decor, glassware, linens. Her staff was easy to work with and helped clean up everything. I would definitely recommend! I know there are posts here that say she is difficult to get a hold of, but when it comes to the week of your event- she is there for you every step of the way! I hope to get to have her delicious food again soon!

Linda and her staff have held hundreds of successful events for myself and my clients. The professionalism, communication, food, and presentation was absolutely delightful. Not to mention the value for what you pay for. She has consistently gone above and beyond my expectations and I couldn't be happier with the outcomes. I HIGHLY recommend them for any of your catering needs.

Came across on yelp after shopping for a few other caterers. It was stiff competition. We met with other owners and decided to go with Rayna's after meeting with Linda, the owner. She was patient and extremely helpful. not to mention the food was delicious and services were reasonably priced. We had our reservations about the company too especially during the upcoming months and weeks of our event. Similar complaints about how the company was hard to reach. Communication was lacking. It made us nervous! Well, Linda and her amazing staff (JOE!) came through when it mattered most. Provided delicious food, great great service, linen, other decor, and made sure we had time to eat too during our event. We were extremely happy we went with Rayna's and super appreciative for all everyone going way above and beyond. Thank you again

Well never recommend this company..... Where to start very disappointed bride and groom For starters the decorations were not correct there is supposed to be fusion in the center of the tables around the candleholders the only thing on the table that were fission was the napkins and our main table was not done correctly and thank you to my sister-in-law and and friends and family The arch got it decorated the company claimed they lost the bolts to the arch so we had to duck tape the arch to the wall and everything was not set up on time also there was supposed be a big lanterns on each side of the arts there was not they were little lanterns down the aisle was not supposed to be like that supposed to be the food was way under cooked the potatoes were hard you couldn't even eat them we were supposed to have baked potatoes ribs grilled vegetables and Linda said she was going to do cupcakes for around the cake those were not provided so they had to cut into my wedding cake which were too small to feed all the guests. And I feel that my parents should get a lot of their money back and to top everything they took the cake topper and the bottom of the cake stand so my mom texted her the next day to let her know and she still has not gotten back to her very unprofessional I wouldn't even give her one star

First I would like to start of by saying I DO NOT RECCOMEND using this company for anything. I made the mistake by hiring raynas catering for my wedding and it was an absolute joke. Mine and my wife's dream wedding was promised to be provided but was far from it. From the decorations which were half assed to the food which was poorly cooked and missing multiple items from the menu we selected. If not for members of wife's and my family helping her crew decorate tables and having to duct tape our arch to a wall it sat close to just to get it to stand up properly it would have been a complete disaster. On top of that cupcakes were to be provided for the guest and they never were forcing them to feed everyone the wedding cake which was far to small to feed everyone. Oh and my cake topper magically disappeared. I can go on and on about the screwups on there end but I would be writing a short novel to list everything. Just save yourself the headache and find someone else

On a Recommendation from an organization we belong to, I hired Rayna's Gourmet Catring for a Brazilian Themed Milestone Birthday Party. Linda, the owner, exceeded my expectations above and beyond, nice presentation and display of foods, and floral arrangement as well. My guests all loved the food which is always a concern, but needless worry, it was absolutely amazing, great flavors, selections, and nice to have servers even for being a Buffet. I would definitely hire this company again, for a near future venue.

I would not recommend this company at all. They are very unprofessional. Especially Linda. We met with her and hopes that she would cater our wedding. It was a great meeting. She sent us the menus and advised us on options. that was the point that she dropped off the face of the planet. I emailed her and called her office. They kept saying she would call me back. Finally I got a hold of her, and she said she would call me tomorrow. Didn't call... I called her again and she said she would call me the next day. Still nothing. It's been 2 months and I still haven't heard from her. I had to find a new caterer. Very unprofessional.

Rayna's catered our wedding recently and we could not have been more pleased. We chose the platinum china package - the food was delicious and the presentation was magnificent. The entire staff was very professional and went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. To note, every guest we spoke with thought our caterer was first class!! A big Thank You to Linda and her team with a special shout out to the bartender - who was extremely attentive and helpful - as an aside, my daughter who works in hospitality industry, wanted to take him home!! Great Job!!!
