Nickie and the rest of the Blue Heron team were very helpful, from our initial tasting through setting up before and cleaning up after the reception. They were great with planning help, and took care of all of the details of renting linens, dishware, etc. I initially chose them because of their high "green" ratings, but they were great in other areas as well.

Blue Heron Catering provided a vegetarian feast at our weddingreception. All of our guests (few of whom were vegetarians)positively raved about the food. While keeping our guests fed withtasty food is the primary job for a wedding caterer, Blue Heron alsoexcelled at all the other tasks set before them, including bartending. Trish at Blue Heron took us from the tastings, through design and to the delivery. She provided a lot of help beyond the catering: from the timing of ourday, coordinating a number of conflicting vendor schedules, helpingwith colors, wines and lighting. Trish also took care of coordinating with our other vendors (the facility, DJ, florist, baker). We were really grateful to have someone experienced managing all of that.Trish and Blue Heron were easy to keep in contact with, both throughemail and by phone and were very accommodating of our schedules.On top of all this was the amazing food they put together for us andone hundred guests. The bread pudding was stellar! In addition,Blue Heron packed all the leftovers up for us!We will definitely go to Blue Heron for any future catering needs.Fabulous from top to bottom.

Blu Heron provided outstanding food and service. My husband and I are vegan and they worked with us to create a menu that would please everyone. What I am knocking them for, however is that for $12000 I got a lousy vegan cupcake from whole foods and the beef ran out before everyone got some.

Great food. Everything was delicious. We had about 10 more people than we thought and Blue Heron had enough for everyone! We're very pleased with them.

I would give my highest recommendation to Blue Heron. They did a fantastic job with the food at our reception. Being a vegan I wanted a good mix of vegan and non vegan hors devours. They were able to offer me plenty of variety within my constraints of budget and food types. I then let my mom handle most of the coordination with these folks. At the end of the day, the staff was efficient and very professional and the food was well presented and tasted great - I could not have asked for more.

Though they were a little pricey for my budget I absolutley loved everything about this company. They have great service, are very professional, and are pretty flexable.The staff was wonderful and I don't think there was one thing I didn't like.

They had a very interesting selection of dishes to choose from and worked closely with us to customize a menu to meet our needs. In addition to the food, they worked with us to set up our floorplan at Casa de la Vista and also helped us to pick out the napkins, tablecloths, and dishes that ended up looking beautifully coordinated at the reception. The food itself was presented well and tasted great. My only complaint is that we had expected that the food tables would be decorated more elegantly, with flowers or some other decorations, instead of the food just being on top of raised tablecloths.

We chose Blue Heron because I actually remembered the food at one friend's wedding being delicious and when I asked her who her caterer was, she told us about Blue Heron. The staff at Blue Heron were a delight to work with from start to finish. They made our wedding so much easier because they knew exactly what they were doing. Elizabeth at Blue Heron kept us to our timeline and thought of everything. She even knew which corner of the reception hall was best to put the cake for the spectacular views from the window!They are worth every penny you spend!

Blue Heron isn't the cheapest option around, but theywere great. They've done a million weddings, so they reallyhave their act together. They're detail-oriented, they reallyknow how to make a bride feel secure. Trish, the coordinatorassigned to manage our event, was really on top of things.She worked with my wedding planner to sort out alldetails, visited the location a few times on her own(without my asking), and attended a final meeting with me andmy planner, basically just to assure me that all systems were go.Blue Heron also catered our engagement party, incidentally, whichmy mother-in-law planned. The hors-doevres were a hit, thebartender was friendly, and the wait staff was constantlycirculating.l highly recommend Blue Heron. The food's delicious, the staff attentive and experienced, and I think the price tag's worth the peace of mind in knowing that the presentation will be flawless and the details handled. My onlycomplaint is that they need 11/2 hours for setup before first food(like cocktail hour), which is tough when you're pressed by atime constraint at your location. But perhaps this is standard...
