TESTIMONIALS

Locating a catering company in San Francisco that uses natural and organic ingredients is not difficult. Finding one that would provide breakfast and environmentally responsible box lunches for a non-profit social justice fundraising conference with 700 attendees and a very small budget was EXTREMELY challenging. I am so grateful to Michelle and her crew at Tiffany Bloom (a division of Skyler St. John Catering). Not only did they work with our financial constraints, they bent over backwards to accommodate all our needs --from Vegan/Vegetarian options to biodegradable cups & utensils and free trade coffee. The menu was interesting, the food tasty and the staff friendly and professional. They showed a genuine concern for the success of our event and helped to insure that all went well.

  Let me start off by saying Michelle and the Skyler St. John team went above and beyond to make my event a success. I worked with the Tiffany Bloom subdivision of Skyler St. John, which is typically used for smaller events and a less elegant menu. It was easy to compose a fitting and tasty menu with the many choices of dishes and appetizers found on the website. The food was absolutely delicious and the presentation was simple yet sophisticated.

Working with Michelle was truly a joy. Her level of professionalism, attention to detail and years of experienced showed with each conversation I had with her. Her guidance and suggestions certainly made it less stressful for me. Anything I asked her to do or add to the menu was done without question. Her follow up phone call the next morning only confirms her dedication to her customers.

On the day of the event, the food arrived right on time and was set up beautifully by two very nice and charming staffers. My only complaint is that I didn't get to meet Michelle in person to thank her for all that she did. Very highly recommended.

Just wanted to say thank you… you & your team at Skyler St. John proved to be a great asset to the event at Mellon Capital Management & for that I am so grateful.  I have heard nothing but rave reviews about the delicious food & wonderful service you offered for us, the event wouldn’t have been the same with out you!

Everything went great. In fact, those "boring" engineers stayed late into the evening, so the darkened yard setting was pretty with all the Tiki torches burning and a fire in the firepit. You could hardly see the tourquoise table clothes! :-)

The food was wonderful and many people commented on it. We set up everything exactly as you told us, Mom. The long rice was on the single-burner dish, the cold dishes were arranged from high to low, the shrimp was crisped in the oven. The hot things were hot and the cold things were cold. Just as you predicted, people loved the chicken long rice, the cole slaw and the chicken. The shrimp was gone immediately and the pineapple upside down cake was divine (very moist and flavorful). The wasabi dipping sauce and the flavored butter were also mentioned a lot. Those are nice touches. We had plenty of leftovers, but not enough to overwhelm us.

The setup looked great and the serving line moved through very well. I have to say, though, that the hit of the party was the pig itself, and it was quite an event when all the men dug it out. It was cheaper entertainment than hiring hula dancers! Luckily, it was perfectly cooked. We set it on that outside table and many photos were taken, then people just grabbed a few chunks of meat as finger food while waiting in line for the rest of the dinner. So it was basically a very big appetizer.

Thank you so much for all your efforts and for the on-time, efficient and attractive setup. You were great to work with and the food was a hit.

This event went off without a hitch. The food and service was fantastic.  I am still hearing rave reviews about the taste and quality of the food served. I would hire this catering company again and again. There were many people that were impressed and will be using Skyler St. John Catering for both Corporate and Private Events.

They showed up on time and were fast and efficient with our setup. They were very good at making sure the client (me) stopped to get all necessary information to pull off the most successful event ever! I have had requests from other departments for information about "MY" caterer. MOST IMPORTANT THE FOOD WAS FANTASTIC!!!!!" Very Professional Company.

Skyler St. John Catering was the greatest. I wanted to have a Hawaiian Luau for my graduation party at our house in Healdsberg. I always wanted to have a Luau since we went to Hawaii, but I did not think we could pull it off in my parents backyard. A friend reccommended this company because they did a Corporate Luau at his office and it was a huge success.
Skyler's team brought in the whole pig, plus all this fabulous food. It was better than the Luau at the Hotel in Maui. The buffet tables were designed with real hawaiian platters, tropical flowers and the plates were all hand painted. The men on staff wore aloha shirts and the girls wore really cute polynesian dresses. It was so much fun, they even brought in Hawaiian Dancers. My classmates and friends from Sonoma State had a great time, it might have had something to do with the flowing Mai-Tai's.
I think that's about it. They were great. I am glad I did this. I recommend this company very much.

Thanks so much for doing the catering for our 30th Aniversary Party. The Food was wonderful, everyone said it was excellent and asked who the Caterer was. Everyone was particulary fond of the Grilled Tri-Tip, it was fabulous. Thanks again for all your hard work and special attention to the food and presentation of our event.

My daughter had a baby boy I needed to hire a caterer that knew how to prepare Kosher foods for our Bris Ceremony. As I am not from the Bay Area, I went to my computer to find a caterer. Boy, did I get lucky. I contacted Skyler St. John Catering and spoke with Michelle. Her company was extremely helpful and made one of the kosher meals I have ever had. All my freinds and relatives raved about the brisket and wanted the recipe. I would reccommend Skyler St. John Catering to anyone. I just wish they would open up a location in El Paso, Texas

The food was excellent and clever. They not only had great food but they went way beyond expectations with the presentation. It was more than we expected. Our office looked sensational. The event was a HIT. I would recommend them for any party.
Rhonda Bailey, Choice Homes

Michelle and Skyler thanks so much for saving the day for my dad's 80th birthday. What a relief not to have to prepare food for 50 people in one day. I did not think it could be done. My family really enjoyed the food. (there were tons of it) We were able to relax and enjoy this very special event. You really came through for me and I really appreciate it . Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

They were fantastic. I didnt have to do anything and my guests loved the menu, food and presentation. I highly recommend Skyler St. John Catering to anyone for their events.

I really loved Michelle. Her food was wonderful, prices ressonable but most of all her customer service was outstanding. She communicated with me at every turn and made me feel like I could relax and she had everything handled.

 Michelle St. John is truly the master of the craft. Her food was excellent and the presentation was beyond our expectations. We were blown away by her professionalism and wonderful staff. We look forward to working with her in the future.
Angelica and Michael Davidson Fearless Tales Genre Fest San Francisco, CA

 From start to finish working with Michelle was by far the easiest most pleasurable experience I have ever had with a caterer. Having heard so many good things from her from other companies, we gave her free reign to do what she liked with our party. Needless to say were were thrilled with the result. I realized that Michelle's work isnt just her business. it is her her enjoyment of what she does and comitment to excellence show through in every detail, from the food to the ambiance down to choice of napkins. Net Net, Michelle is faboulus, there is no way we will be calling any other caterers for our future events.

Dear Michelle,
On behalf of the QB3 team, I would like to thank you profusely for your catering for our May 7th Symposium. Your food was outstanding, your presentation lovely, and your servers professional, efficient, and pleasant. We have had several very specific comments about the high caliber of the catering that day, and I thank you so much for your creativity and willingness to pull an event of this size together so beautifully on such short notice and within our limited budget. I look forward to working with you in the future on many more events.

I have put in a request for expedited payment for your services and will keep you updated on the status of your payment - hopefully, it will be only a brief wait. Again, thank you so much. We all feel confident that we could not have made a better choice. Please extend these heartfelt thanks to Wemerson, Schuyler, Edward, and the rest of the crew, who all worked so hard to make us look so good. We appreciate it more than words can say.
Many thanks,
Solange McGirr
 
Just a note to say thank you once again for going all out and giving us the most fabulous Holiday Party our employees say they can ever remember. Everyone was extremely impressed by the food and the presentation. They raved about the sushi, the curry dip (thank you!) and all the chocolate, the beautiful tea lights, the little European houses-just everything. I hope you got through your string of parties all right and that everything is going well with you. You really did a fantastic job and I cannot thank you enough! Lots of people have asked for your contact information and I've happily given it to them, with a very high recommendation. You're amazing!
Best wishes,

Thank you so much for the food you provided for my mother’s party in such short notice. Everything looked absolutely beautiful and tasted delicious! I had people coming up to me all night telling me how wonderful everything was. The chicken was an absolute hit! The tri-tip was such good quality we did not even need a knife to cut it. From now on you are my preferred caterer and I believe a few of our friends and family will also be calling you for your services
Thank you!!!
Aurora Salgado
You were so easy to work with. The menu was amazing and the food delicious. Wow - people ate a lot. I loved the caviar pie, you were so right on with your choices. I would highly recommend you so please use me as a reference.

Dear Michelle, thank you for the wonderful brunch reception. The display was beautiful and the food was equally as good. Everyone was asking me about the catering so thank you! The servers were also amazing. I really liked how helpful, polite and pleasant they were. They were very personable and professional. They were constantly offering to help out as much as possible.

I can not say enough about this catering company, from the moment I first spoke on the phone I felt at ease. Michelle was so easy to talk with, she listened to what I had to say, and did not go over our budget.  No other caterer was able to offer what this company gave us. Mark and I were so pleased with everything. The servers were polite and always on track, the food was fabulous, and the way it was displayed was beautiful.  Everything that was promised  to us came true. I am so happy we found them.
