The Perfect Pear Catering Co

Rachel and her team at the Perfect Pear were excellent. I created a unique menu for my small wedding and they were more than happy to help me. They were always available when I needed them and answered my many questions promptly. They also arranged for my husband and I to attend a tasting the week before the wedding. The food was delicious! The day of the ceremony, the crew arrived on time and were very professional. The presentation was amazing. The food was delicious. I am still hearing about how great the food was from my friends and family. I would definitely recommend the perfect pear for any occasion. They were very easy to work with and contributed to making my day perfect.

My fiance and I are self proclaimed "foodies" and Rachael and Mike at Perfect Pear managed to exceed all of our expectations! They are very prompt in responding to any of my emails and phone calls. Working with them to create our reception menu was fun and stress-free. They offered us a tasting that included all of the appetizers and the courses we had selected and each one was better than the next! My guests were raving about the food and the service at the wedding! I cannot say enough great things about them. I highly reccommend Perfect Pear and I will definately use them again for holiday parties!

Perfect Pear was fantastic. Rachel and her staff are absolutely wonderful and I cannot say enough great things about them. Their food is delicious, and they have a lot of menu options. If there is something you want them to make that isn't on their menu list, they can create it. If you have a certain vision, Rachel is also great at providing suggestions. The chef is extremely talented and not only is the food delicious, the presentation is beautiful and very current, which was one of the selling points to us. Our favorite menu items were the mac 'n' cheese bar, fried green tomatoes, and bacon wrapped shrimp. I was planning our wedding from out of town and Rachel was always prompt and responsive via phone and email and was happy to meet with us to make changes or ask questions. The staff was very professional and was very friendly at our wedding. They approached my groom and I a few times to make sure we had enough food and champagne, and we really appreciated that. Perfect Pear also works with a wonderful linen company and wonderful bartending service, which was very convenient for us. We also found Perfect Pear to be very affordable and they worked with us to give us the most variety and best menu for our budget. We highly recommend Perfect Pear!

Perfect Pear Catering rocked my wedding! My guests raved about the food! Everything was deliciously prepared and beautifully presented. Rachel is so easy to work with and she does her very best to make your event stress free. I would use them again in heartbeat and would highly recommend them to anyone.

The Perfect Pear is a very talented caterer as well as passionate about what they do. Their work ethic is commendable. There attention to detail was evident when Rachel noticed that the dinnerware was a bit spotted so she had her crew wash every piece until it sparkled brightly. The food was delectable, too. The service they rendered was top notch. The Perfect Pear left quite an impression on us and our guests.

Can not say enough good things about this vendor!! Food was amazing and the staff were extremely professional. Rachel and her team were easy to work with and gave suggestions to help us come up with a menu in our budget. Multiple guests at our wedding took down the caterer's information to use for future events. Definitely would use them again for my next event!

I'm literally without words to describe how much I love perfect pear. Rachel is so helpful and just made sure that everything was perfect. The team that worked the wedding was professional and wonderful. I cannot say enough how amazing the food is, and everyone LOVED it. They just worked everything out and were the one thing that we just didn't have to worry about on the day of. We love them so much and I would truly recommend them to all of my friends.

The Perfect Pear's staff and services are truly beyond amazing! From the initial consultation to the day of, everything was smooth sailing. Even the last few days before the wedding, Rachel and Gwen, reassured us, offered encouraging words and helped in any way that they could. The food - FABULOUS! Our guests raved about our appetizers, buffet and desserts! The staff even set aside a plate of appetizers for the bridal party to enjoy after we finished taking photos - so considerate! They take pride in their work and it shows! I would reccommend the Perfect Pear for any event!

I cant say enough about Perfect Pear catering. The food was wonderful. The chef that assisted at the event was very professional - all the guests enjoyed him very much. Working with this company made our wedding much easier. We were very pleased with the quality from start to finish.

I was very thrilled to have Rachel and her team cater both my fiance's 50th birthday party the night of Nov 25th and then my sit down dinner for my wedding on Nov 26th. It was a hectic week due to the Thanksgiving holidays and this was a destination wedding for us. The execution for both events were flawless. The food was amazing and Rachel was so easy to work with. Her husband actually became very ill the day of the wedding but she told him to stay home and take care of himself and she could handle the whole sit down dinner for a 114 people. And she did. It was the most beautiful, elegant, and extremely fun wedding ever. I will definitely would advise brides to invest in the Perfect Pear. They did a fantastic job. thank you! Nina and John Freer

As a bride and foodie I would not hesitate to recommend Perfect Pear for another event. Not only were the owners extremely accessible and flexible, but the staff's expertise was incredible and our wedding menu was unforgettable. They worked within our budget and there were no hidden or extra charges or fees at any point in the planning process. I cannot write enough positive compliments about Perfect Pear's impact on the success and joy of our event. Thank you for making our day so special!

I had a lot of compliments from the guests about the quality of the food. The staff was also very helpful in trying to get the to eat during all the festivities.

If you want absolutely top quality and unique food and service for your wedding, you must go through the Perfect Pear Catering. The menu and flavor was out of this world and I had numerous remarks from guests about the fantastic food and how it was the best catered or reception food they had ever had. Rachel and the staff were so flexible and accomodating on every level from menu selections and changes, even down to the smallest details. The staff went above and beyond to provide exceptional service and we wanted for nothing. My parents, who are generally really hard to please, especially when it comes to something with a price tag, raved about the food and service. They plan to contact the Perfect Pear for future catering services. I personally think they are planning a party just so they can have the Perfect Pear's food creations again. One more thing: I planned my wedding from several states away and had no problem contacting or planning the catering, including the set up. This staff is professional, experienced and will only improve any event that you are having. If you don't go with the Perfect Pear, you are missing out on a unique, fabulous culinary experience. If you want to be guaranteed to impress your guests, the Perfect Pear must be your catering selection. Oh! The most important thing...the VALUE of the food and service is unparalleled.

The food was great!! The staff is very nice and flexible. The presentation was much more than what we expected. YUM!

Wonderful experience! Beautiful display of food. Thanks so much.

Rachel at Perfect Pear caterering company prepared the food and drinks for our son and daughter-in-law's July 17th, 2011 wedding Open House/Reception celebration. Rachel was recommended to us for the event and after interviewing Rachel as well as another caterering company, we opted for Perfect Pear to caterer our event. Rachel patiently sat with our son and daughter-in-law to be and worked out a menu and drink/bar arrangement that they were very pleased with and was within our budget requirements. We found Rachel to be very professional and she did deliver beautifully upon all that we planned. But, perhaps most of all, the food she prepared was delicious and we received rave comments from many of the attending guests. I would recommend Rachel and her company for any type of caterering event you might be considering. The day of the event, she arrived with her team of professionals and worked seamlessly throughout the event to make it a great success. Do yourself a favor and don't book anyone for caterering until you have spoken to Rachel. I know we were glad we did! Happy partying!

I hired The Perfect Pear Catering Company to cater my wedding at The Sanchez House in St. Augustine, Florida on May 28th, 2011. Rachel was great throughout the planning process. We were able to come up with a menu that we were excited about that also met our budget and the different preferences of our guests. On the day of the wedding, the staff arrived 2 hours prior to our reception, and got right to work setting up displays, buffets, centerpieces, the bar, and a cheese display. Everything looked wonderful, and there were so many details that we handn't even planned for, but were so delighted to see! When it came to the food - well, that is what they do best, and they came through with flying colors. Everyone says that you don't eat at your own wedding, but we had to! Everyone loved the food. The evening seemlessly flowed from passed appetizers, to dinner, to dessert and coffee. At the end of the night, everything was left as if they were never there, except for the delicious leftovers they carefully packed into to-go containers and left in the fridge, which we wasted no time eating, as soon as all of our guests departed. Needless to say, I couldn't be happier with my decision of hiring this company and will highly recommend them to anyone catering an event. Cheers!

On May 7, 2011, Perfect Pear catered our wedding dinner for 21 people at our vacation home in St. Augustine Beach, FL. Since we live in San Diego, all of our planning took place by phone and e-mail with Rachel. Rachel was always available, extremely responsive and really took the time to understand what kind of food would work best with our guests. The sample menu choices on the website were really helpful but Rachel was happy to customize and tailor the menu for our specific needs. On the day of our event,Mike(the co-owner) and Chase showed up on time, prepped the food and then laid out an exquisite presentation. Not only did it look beautiful, but the food made all of guests swoon with delight. Throughout the entire evening, our guests commented on how unique and delicious everything was from the bacon wrapped jalapenos, fried green tomato napoleon, artisan cheeses, to the Perfect Pear salad, chicken roulade, asparagus, new potato salad and cous cous. Every dish was fresh and used high quality ingredients and was served at the right temperature. Mike and Chase were a delight to be with and were friendly, gracious and extremely professional. There was so much food that we were able to give our local guests full meal leftovers which they greatly appreciated. Mike and Chase did a fantastic job of cleaning up after the dinner and brought ample storage containers for the leftovers. They even helped take some photos of our ceremony on the beach. Perfect Pear Catering exceeded our expectations(which were quite high since we had several "foodies" and amateur cooks in the group). The costs were quite reasonable for both the quantity and quality of the food and presentation. And the service was "priceless". We were thrilled with how it all turned out and would highly recommend Perfect Pear to anyone planning an event, large or small. Rachel and Mike take great pride in everything they do and the personal touch they brought made everything even more special.

Perfect Pear catered my daughter's wedding on Saturday. The night was a huge success and a large part of that was the food provided by Rachel and her team! The food was high-end restaurant quality and the service was immpeccable. Every comment about the wedding has started with how the food was so amazing. Thank you Rachel!

Excellent food and excellent service. We received many compliments on the catering.
