We sought out this vendor for catering our wedding. I attended a wedding at Hartley Botanical in Somis, CA many years ago and I was floored. At first I thought having a buffet wa...s really low brow, but for crying out loud their food is amazing! It was memorable after all these years. I've had the privilege of attending 3 weddings there, one of which was my brother's. I had led him to that place. I wasn't sure I wanted to do my wedding where he did his, just two years earlier, but we visited when Command was preparing for a wedding and they let us know a handful of other venues that they provide the catering to. Thanks to them, we found the venue of our dreams with the food we really wanted.
Melanie was a great resource during our catering planning. She is very busy, and I can understand why. They provide such great service and exquisite food. We had the opportunity to do a preview night at Eden Gardens where both the venue and caterer really showcased their offerings, and we were not disappointed. We got to sample the food, meet other venues, and see what other table settings they had to offer. We opted for some upgraded items, and Melanie's input was very useful. We got gold flatware, ivory with gold plates, we had a huge assortment of colors/linin to choose from. We really got to create a magical tablescape and evening with their help!
Items worth noting: You won't be able to taste everything on the menu. You will try some items at the preview night. If you miss it, then you won't get to try the food. A big item for us is that they don't accept anything but cash. If you have $17K laying around, that's sweet, but we did not. It is not negotiable. At all.
Command took very good care of my husband and me on our wedding night. They made sure we had food and drinks at all times. They brought us and the bridal party food right after the ceremony to munch on during pictures. They sent us home with some of the food - because we didn't eat our meal at all that night. LOL Everyone kept coming up to say Hi. They lovingly packed our cake's top tier so it was ready to put in the freezer. We really appreciate the attention they gave to us and our guests. It was a seamless event, the most exquisite night it could have possibly been. Thanks again, Command!!
