Culinary Exellence

Culinary Excellence is a full-service catering company with more than 30 years in the business, covering weddings, birthday parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, corporate events and other special occasions. Its menu side includes custom catering, and it also handles floral design, cakes and desserts, lighting and decor, specialty linens, and event design and coordination. The company's chef and owner, Christian, bought the business in 2004 and trained as a pastry chef in Paris, which shows in the sweets it offers.

Clients can work with the event coordinators on planning from start to finish, or book only the extras they need. The company accepts inquiries through an online contact form and by phone, and staff follow up after each request. Its office and kitchen are in the Bay Area, and it also takes aviation catering orders through a separate page.
