I had no prior experience hiring a catering company and was somewhat overwhelmed with the options and decisions to make at the time. To my delight I found Joshua after a short conversation I had found the perfect place to cater my mothers memorial service. My mother was a wonderful cook and I knew she would be pleased that Joshua was familiar with her favorite cookbook. The choices were wonderful, the prices were reasonable, the presentation was excellent. I was very happy with my choice.

Josh, Marian and Chef Mark are the best. We hired them to cater our wedding last weekend and are so happy we did. The food was amazing! We had some pretty specific requests (chicken & waffle appetizers, family style pizza as a main course…we love junk food ha!) and not only were they able to accommodate our idea of perfect wedding food…they knocked it out of the park. I had SO many people comment on how great the food was, and nobody went to the dance floor hungry! Marian was a joy to work with on the details & rentals and so incredibly helpful on the day of – she made magic happen with some pretty complicated logistics and I can’t thank her enough. We loved working with these guys and can not recommend them highly enough.

From front to back, I had the absolute best experience with Joshua Charles catering. Almost immediately after sending an inquiry through their website, I heard back from Josh who, without reservation, told us he could take care of us for a small birthday party we were having 6 days later. Josh was extremely professional, kind and quickly helped us put together a perfect menu for our party. Later in the week, Marian, a JC employee, contacted me to confirm all of the logistics and make sure they were set up to give us exactly what we needed. That included her offering to bring glasses, plates and utensils at no additional cost. When the day came, a chef and a server, Guney and Bellinda, showed up right on time and everything from that point on- the food and the service- blew our expectations out of the water. The food was incredible, could go toe to toe with any restaurant serving comparable dishes anywhere and win. Even so, the service managed to outshine the food. I mentioned how much I loved the aioli that came on the Mahi-Mahi sliders, Guney whipped up extra, gave some to me in a bowl for dipping and put some in my fridge for me to have for later. A friend of mine forgot to bring candles for the cake as requested and asked the caterers if they had any (which is clearly a long shot but didn’t even seem like it at that point given how prepared they had proven themselves to be), they said no but they would figure something out. Unbeknownst to us, Guney drove to a nearby 7-11 and purchased candles for the cake. When someone finished their food, Bellinda was right there ready to take their plate or spoon or trash before they even had to think about it. Never hovering, just always attentive. This made the post-party clean up SO much easier. Without question, I will use Joshua Charles Catering for any future catering needs and will specifically request Guney & Bellinda to work our parties!

So grateful to have found Joshua Charles Catering!! Their service is great and working with Josh is easy! But, what’s even better is their FOOD!! Just had him cater our first corporate event and will definitely refer him to anyone as well as use him again for future events!

I am so thankful to Joshua Catering for saving my last minute go away party. Our chef was so wonderful and professional. He managed to cook for 30 people all by himself. Isn’t it impressive? He even made us a small tasting plate before our guests arrived to ensure we were happy with the menu. Absolutely loved every dish, I even ate lamb which normally I wouldn’t touch. I wish we discovered JCC much earlier.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G – and on short notice too! We had a rather sudden need for a caterer for a company event, called on Tuesdayafternoon and had the most incredible passed appetizers cooked in the host’s home kitchen on Thursday evening. That must have been a very lucky break, I can imagine these guys are often booked solid – they ought to be. We had absolutely no issues, the food was amazing, the choices were luscious, the staff was more than accommodating (upon discovering that two of us were vegetarian, the chef created a vegetarian version of one of the items on the spot!). They set up and cleaned up, all without any fuss. Recommend HIGHLY!

I used this caterer for a networking event I planned at an architecture firm in Mountain View. The team knocked it out of the park! From the office team to the BOH manager, Food Prepper & Bartender, each were professional and personable and showed great attention to detail. Many guests were asking about the caterer and were so impressed with the food and service. We were beyond pleased and will definitely use Joshua Charles Catering for future events.

We got married on 9/8/17 at Kohl Mansion. Joshua Charles not only makes AMAZING food, but he also saved our wedding! Our wedding planner totally screwed things up, and we were left without a caterer and a bunch of other issues a month before. After firing our wedding planner and scrambling, Joshua Charles and his wonderful assistant, Marian, stepped up and helped us finish all the details and coordinate the day-of. We couldn’t have done it without them. Seriously! We were serving a vegetarian menu to many guests who had never eaten vegetarian before, so we had to make a good first impression. Joshua listened to the kinds of food we liked and presented us with great options at the tasting menu. The food at the wedding was artfully presented, filling, and delicious. We couldn’t have been happier with it. Many of my guests still talk about it. If Joshua had a restaurant, my husband and I would be frequent visitors.

Joshua Charles Catering is a wonderful catering service. Food was amazing the chief that cooked for us had 17 years in the industry —really knew how to cook an present the meal. The staff that put it all together was really friendly and helpful too! Overall a really great experience.
