Big Sur is more than a destination. It’s an experience, shaped by sweeping ocean views, towering redwoods, and hidden venues that set the stage for celebrations both big and small. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a milestone birthday, or a weekend retreat, one thing holds it all together: great food brings everyone close.

Why Big Sur Events Deserve Special Catering
Big Sur’s natural beauty makes every event feel special, but it can be a challenge with remote locations and unpredictable weather. That’s where we step in.
Imagine a wedding on the cliffs, sunshine glowing, friends at a lively cocktail hour, and plates filled with fresh, local flavors that fit right in with the view. Maybe your family is gathered in a snug cabin, where a generous buffet makes everything feel easy and welcoming. Or picture an anniversary under the redwoods—an inviting table, good company, and the best seasonal food to savor at a slower pace.
With our local know-how and tailored menus, we meet the needs of hosts like you. Food is more than a detail; it’s what makes your event feel complete.
Bixby Bridge, located in Big Sur, California, is one of the most iconic and photographed bridges along the Pacific Coast Highway. Completed in 1932, this reinforced concrete arch bridge spans 714 feet across a deep canyon, offering breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and the Pacific Ocean. Its elegant design and dramatic setting make it a must-see landmark for travelers exploring the scenic beauty of California’s central coast.
