I hired Kevin for my son's Wedding Rehearsal Dinner. His staff was professional and the menu he prepared was beyond flavorful and delicious, it literally was beyond what I expected. What he promised is what he delivered. The evening was enjoyable for my husband and I so much that we could actually bask in the conversations and dinner without having to lift a finger. The wedding party raved about it the next day at the wedding. It will forever go down as one of the best evenings we have ever hosted.

Reviews
Preston made an incredible menu for our small dinner party. The whole planning process was low-stress and straightforward. They took care of everything, all we had to do was show up. Marcela was very friendly and attentive during the dinner party. Overall an excellent experience, can’t recommend Preston and Marcela enough!
Working with Kevin was a great experience. He was fantastic to work with, even when I wanted to make some eclectic changes to the menu to better suit my tastes/hopes/dreams for the dinner I was planning. He created a wonderful culinary journey for 17 guests, and the food turned out phenomenal. Easily the best hanger steak I've ever had (although it might be the best steak I've ever had period). Kevin and his team definitely made me look good in front of all of my guests. I couldn't recommend someone more.
We had a wonderful event as a Birthday celebration for my wife with four couples (8 guests) at our home. Chef Harrison and Shelly were professional, punctual, kind, and fun. We would recommend Heritage Catering again and hire them again for an event like this. Thanks Chef Kevin!
Kevin and his team were phenomenal! Our guests raved about the food and the service. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the staff went above and beyond. They checked in with every table, cleared dishes quickly and gracefully, and brought such kindness and professionalism to the evening. We had a medieval-themed wedding, and Kevin fully embraced it. He crafted a menu that matched the vibe perfectly, and it tasted even better than it looked! On top of that, he offered helpful catering and planning advice throughout the process, which made things so much smoother for us. If you want amazing food, warm service, and someone who genuinely cares about your wedding vision, hire Kevin. You won’t regret it!
Chef Ly was wonderful! We had a wonderful night with lots of amazing food and great conversation. Everything was delicious and the presentation was outstanding. Our toddler grandson also enjoyed interacting with Ly and he loved the courses too! We highly recommend Ly and Heritage Catering & Culinary Services!
Chef Lee was awesome. Great presentation, food and clean up!
The menu was customized (and elevated) from my suggestions. Food was delicious and plentiful. Arrived on time despite another event in the area & related traffic. The setup was professional and done efficiently. Definitely recommend!
Absolutely LOVED! Would definitely recommend Kevin and his team to anyone looking for an amazing experience! We hosted a 30th birthday dinner for my husband and it was perfect! The food was incredible, the staff were so kind, friendly, attentive and seriously on top of it the entire night! Our bartender Jenny was so fun, chatting with guests as they ordered drinks and made the drinks so tasty!! I couldn’t recommend this team enough!! A night to remember!!
Kevin was fantastic! I had Kevin come and do a dinner at my home for my 60th birthday. He really made my fantasy come true. He brought with him a server, Jim, who was also awesome. The food was absolutely delicious. I am vegan so he worked just fine with that. I had 8 total people and everyone thought each meal was fabulous. I can't recommend him more strongly. He was easy to work with, kind and professional.
About six months ago, when I started looking for a caterer for my birthday party, Kevin immediately stood out with his professionalism and communication. Initially, I chose a different caterer based on pricing, but I quickly regretted my decision when they canceled just five days before the event, leaving me in a lurch with 50 guests expected at my home. My birthday is the highlight of my year, a day I eagerly anticipate and pour countless hours into planning, especially this year with its Ratatouille theme—imagining dishes from the movie being served as it played in the background. In my moment of panic, Kevin and his team stepped in, not only taking on the challenge with mere days to notice but also ensuring the evening surpassed my wildest dreams. It reinforced why my birthday remains my most cherished day annually. Despite the last-minute request, Kevin maintained his integrity, offering a fair price without compromising on service quality. His team went about the event with the highest degree of warmth and professionalism, making sure every need was met with grace and precision. The seamless timing of each dish’s arrival was met with my guest’s applause, and the rave reviews and recipe requests from my guests were a testament to the exceptional quality of the food. Kevin didn’t just save my birthday party— he earned my trust and loyalty as a customer for all my future parties. I wholeheartedly recommend his catering services to anyone looking for excellence in both food and experience.
Selecting Heritage Catering & Culinary Services for our wedding at Temecula Creek Cottages was the best decision we made. After speaking with Kevin, we honestly looked no further. We made our selection, as Kevin really made and drove the opportunity for us and opened the communication which made it very easy for us to decide on our menu choices. Even more, his honest approach and straight-forwardness was perfect. Kevin made our decisions in every aspect very simple, and the outcome was more than we could ever have expected. Every guest has told us how delicious the food was from the appetizers to the main course. The staff members in support on the day of our event were an extension of Kevin's professionalism as they made sure that my wife and I were taken care of throughout the evening. Our wedding guests and family's direct feedback, "Overall DELICIOUS and extremely PROFESSIONAL!! To this day we continue to receive nothing but positive compliments about the Chef and his staff. We highly recommend Heritage Catering & Culinary Services for any event you chose to host. You will not be disappointed!
AMAZING experience!!! Chef Kevin and his team were super professional and provided such excellent service. The food was A+++ and super fresh and delicious! We will totally hire them again in the near future!
Heritage Catering made my moms 70th birthday celebration one for the books. The food and entire team were absolutely amazing! From the tasty starters all the way to the dessert, everything was plated perfectly and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.
Chef Kevin and his team were wonderful from the day I booked my event all the way up to the day of my event. He made sure to work directly with me to curate the perfect 5 course menu for my sister’s bachelorette party. Everyone had only the best things to say about his team and the food they prepared for us! They really made everyone at our party feel well taken care of. I’d recommend Chef Kevin to anyone who is looking for a delicious and personalized meal for any special occasion!
Chef Kevin, provided the MOST amazing meal for our small intimate wedding! Every single bite of every thing he cooked was absolutely delicious, and multiple guests said it was the best meal they had ever eaten. The service was also such high quality, and Leo, who worked with Chef Kevin was incredibly professional. If you want a wonderful experience, then you must hire these guys for your special event, because they strive for the best in every aspect of catering!
For our 30th wedding anniversary, we hired Kevin@Heritage Catering and I can't say enough good about him, the food, and the experience. He came two hours before we served appetizers, set up, and kicked things off. Service was excellent and he spent over an hour at the end thoroughly cleaning our kitchen and washing dishes. I definitely want to do another event with Kevin! A++++++. If I could give 10 stars I would!
I really enjoyed our COVID-friendly holiday party prepared by Kevin and served by his awesome staff. They were early, they took over decorating the tables and actually made some of my presentations better! We had three appetizers, soup course, an intermezzo, main course and dessert. Everyone raved about the food and presentation. My kitchen was spotless and all of the china cleaned. It was the easiest party I have thrown in some time. Thank you so much to Kevin and crew!
Where do you begin when the service Kevin and his assistant Leo provided rivals that of a five star resturant? It was simply amazing! The meal Kevin prepared was beyond my expectations. All the guests commented on how well everything was presented and how delicious the food tasted. Hats off to the chef! I highly recommend Kevin and Heritage Catering & Culinary Service for your dinner party or company event!
Working with Kevin was very easy, he tailored the menu to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions. He went above and beyond helping me set up in a park and I kept getting tons of compliments on the food. I would highly recommend him and I would definitely hire him again.
