Terra Catering - San Diego, California

James Marugg

We set up catering for my father's celebration of life. From our initial consultation to creating the menu, updating the guest numbers and the actual event we were kept informed and communication was excellent. The day of the event the crew arrived early and set up a beautiful display and food station. They served the food and bussed tables keeping the area spotless. They cleaned up and packaged up the remaining food for us to enjoy later. We could not have asked for a better event to honor my Dad and Terra made it all possible. The planning, food, service and communication was excellent. Thank you from our family!

It was a pleasure working with Terra Catering! Jan was so attentive and proactive. I felt confident that everything would come together because she was handling all the details. Onsite, the Terra team showed true professionalism and rolled with last minute changes. The food was absolutely spectacular! Cheese and charcuterie boards always looked full and abundant, even at the end of the event. Passed appetizers were at the proper temperature and never looked like they had been sitting out. I knew that if I needed anything, the team would do everything they could to make it right for our guests. It was a great experience and I would love the opportunity to work with Terra again!

We recently had Terra Catering and Events cater our annual Christmas Breakfast for 500 guests, and they exceeded all expectations! The food was delicious, beautiful presented, and enjoyed by everyone. Their setup was seamless and added an elegant touch to the event. The service team was attentive, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the morning, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, our event was a great success. We highly recommend Terra Catering and Events for any occasion.

Terra was great to work with! Jan was so helpful and responsive. The food was outstanding. We had an office luncheon and they delivered all of the food fresh and hot and set up the buffet for us. They took care of everything! Thank you for making our office luncheon next level.

Terra Catering was wonderful to work with. We first hired them in 2019, and through two years of a pandemic, three event reschedulings, and an event coordinator change, they remained communicative and responsive. Chef Jeff was very helpful, sharing his knowledge of what would and would not be advisable for an event of our size in the venue that we had. We haven't received the pictures back from the photographer yet, and I don't know if anyone stopped eating long enough to take pictures of the food, as all the guests were commenting on how good it was; but we do have a picture of the salad course. The staff were all friendly, professional and efficient. I would definitely be happy to work with Terra Catering again if we ever host another large event.

One word: AMAZING! We hired Terra to cater our 10 year vow renewal & it did not disappoint. We even got to do a tasting before hand of our menu which definitely was a nice touch! The food was amazing, everyone raved about it. The meat was very tender & the tray passed appetizers were a huge hit! 10/10 recommend the bacon wrapped dates! The staff was very sweet as well, very attentive. Megan who handles everything will communicate with you until every last detail is exactly how you want it. Look no further, hire Terra for your event needs!

We frequently use Terra American Bistro for catering for our private catamaran charter in San Diego (Aolani). We often have very tight delivery windows and only work with caterers we have 100% confidence in to "get it right" and "get it on time." Terra has yet to let us down... always reliable!

Megan is also very easy to work with and (from my experience) can think outside the box in accommodating requests that may be a little outside their normal lane. Happy to have been a client for close to 20 years and am very pleased with the working relationship we've built with the Terra team!
