Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a catering partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

We used Calla Catering for our wedding this winter and could not be happier with the food and service. Every part of working with Calla Catering was phenomenal. The food was delicious and the staff was professional and flexible. Everyone at the wedding kept telling us it was the the best food they’ve had at a wedding. Kim and Linda were so helpful during the entire planning process and made our day run smoothly. We would recommend them (and their grilled cheese) to anyone!

We so enjoyed working with Cava in preparation for our wedding and cannot being to describe what an incredible job they did in helping ensure the day went smoothly. With long distance planning it was a struggle to feel like we had everything together but the Cava staff did anything and eveything to make sure our day went off without a hitch. Friends and family are still raving about the food! The menu and service Cava provides does not seem to be matched by the other available caterers. Our was a magical day and one we will remember always!

Kim Livesey and the entire Calla Catering family did an exceptional job catering for my outdoor wedding. I wanted a "Covid safe" wedding day with minimal people involved with food and drinks and they had exactly what I wanted - individual meals all wrapped separately! It was the fanciest "box" lunch I've ever had! The food got rave reviews from everyone. We had our coolers personalized for guests to take home, and the tucked in menu card was added flair! I highly recommend this company! Total cost was extremely fair given all that they did - especially in a short 1 month planning window! Kim thank you for your patience and keeping me sane!! We had the steak, salmon, and chicken for entrees...

Hiring Kim and the team at Cava Catering to be our wedding caterer and coordinator was hands down the best wedding decision we could have made! Kim and her team were so exceptionally talented and helpful during the planning process – they worked around our limited schedules for each meeting, responded to our numerous emails with many questions, and calmed our planning nerves many times! They helped us pick out rentals and truly made our wedding vision come to life. Day of, they made sure everything went smoothly and we felt very confident going into the big day knowing they were handling it all. The food was incredible – our guests are still talking about how fun and fabulous their appetizer...

Calla Catering was absolutely flawless! I am so thankful for Linda & Kim for helping me organize and plan our wedding. From the initial phone call inquiring about their services, to the tasting, to the wedding itself, everything was run so smoothly. Francesco is a great chef and the food was a big hit at our wedding. We had a buffet style dinner with a plated salad, and everybody loved their food. We opted to spend extra money to use their day of coordinating and rehearsal ceremony help, and I am so glad we did!!! Linda was truly a dream and helped keep everything going and helped me feel at ease through the entire process. One of the things I love about Calla Catering is their attenti...
