  Do yourself a favor and plan your event with Chef Dani! It was literally the easiest part of my whole event, and the most important! The food was... Read More! amazing, Chef Dani is so easy going, professional, and ALL my guests gushed over the food! She and her team left everything clean, I didn't lift a finger and was able to enjoy time with friends at our event! I will ABSOLUTELY call Chef Dani again! Thank you!

  Danis food is FABULOUS and the prices More than fair Highly recommended The food is locally sourced when possible and the portions generous.

  Chef Dani helped me pull off a very memorable small family gathering to celebrate my father's 80th birthday.

She helped me plan a wonderful menu. The food was... Read More! perfectly prepared and the presentation was flawless. Her assistant Katy was so organized and provided excellent service.

The guests were all raving about the food, including my picky mother, who had nothing but wonderful compliments for All Things Fabulous catering.

Thank you Chef Dani & Katy! I hope to call on you again soon to help me with more entertaining!

  Dani and her crew were definitely all things fabulous. Our guests raved about the food service and staff. The lamb was to die for and every single appetizer was so... Read More! creative unique and delicious. Thank you for making our anniversary and birthday party so special and we plan to snag you for December!

  Chef Dani and her wonderful team catered my wife's 50th Birthday and we were really impressed. Very professional, friendly, accommodating and, of course...excellent food. I'm a novice to party planning... Read More! at a larger scale, but Dani made it easy for me and took a lot of the pressure off. And rave reviews from even our pickiest guests! Menu had something for everyone and was smartly designed with the warm weather and outdoor venue in mind. Highly recommend.

  MasterChef Dani makes the most excellent tasting food you can imagine she's so friendly if I could give 10 Stars I would thank you for all that you do

  Dani catered my wedding on October 23, 2019. One of the more important things for my husband and I was delicious food for our family and friends (second being good... Read More! booze, lol!). I was starting to lose hope of finding a caterer I could actually afford that didn't just taste average (I love restaurant food but I think we all hope for magical on our wedding day) and then Dani reached out to me on a wedding group I was a part of. I mentioned my budget and she put together a menu for me, then we scheduled a tasting. Oh. My. GOD was everything delicious! It was everything I had hoped for and more! Day of the wedding everything tasted and looked amazing, exactly as it had at the tasting. She is so sweet and willing to help, and I'm not kidding her food is beyond unbelievably good! When I talk about the wedding with guests who attended, first thing they comment on after the general "You were so pretty that day" niceties? It's always "The food you had was so freaking good, never been to a wedding with food like that before". YEEES! SUCCESS!!

  I was looking for a caterer for my son's graduation reception and found Chef Dani online. I booked her for paella and a grazing table based on the reviews... Read More! and pictures on her Instagram page. I kept my fingers crossed that I made the right choice since I had no idea how the food was going to taste.
The day of the event arrived and I was so happy! I know one might think that a charcuterrie table can be basic but Chef Dani's choice of meats and cheeses were phenomenal! The paella took a while to cook but it was worth the wait! All my guests were impressed.
The servers were very attentive and very efficient!
I will definitely book her again and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caterer!

  This is a review that is long overdue. Chef Dani catered our 50-person wedding at a private residence in San Clemente at the end of September, and I can't tell... Read More! you how amazing she, her staff, and the food that she prepared was. Chef Dani was easy to talk to and menu planning was fun. She had dozens of choices to choose from and really helped us decide on our final menu, even though making a decision on the food was very difficult with so many yummy choices! She came onsite a few days before our wedding to survey our kitchen and staging areas. Then she made sure we had a plan for where tables were going to be set and reviewed the overall timing of the event. The wedding was outside and we had some bursts of rain on the day, but Chef Dani handled them like a true professional. Everyone raved about the food and the service. Thank you again Chef Dani for making our special day so wonderful! We appreciate it so much and look forward to working with you again.

  Special thank you to Dani! Nails it once again. Not only is the food fabulous yet she is fabulous. I have had her cater work destination themed... Read More! events and the menu's she creates are incredible. We just had an open house event at our office and the staff couldn't stop raving about how AMAZING the food was not to mention the signature drink she put together, creative and so yummy!. All Things Fabulous Catering is the only way to go. Full package, great service and again truly outstanding food!

  "What a gift to find Dani to cater my daughter's 30th birthday (and super bowl) gathering! She was immediately responsive and super friendly and worked with us to give us... Read More! exactly what we wanted. We had a huge variety of food to accommodate the guests, some of which had certain dietary restrictions. Nobody went home hungry and everyone raved about the food and food presentation! I would absolutely recommend her for any event requiring food!" - Sandi

  Dani and her team are truly brilliant! Dani has helped us with the most special events of our life. She is kind, professional, warm and has become a member of... Read More! our family. Most recently she catered my birthday dinner with the theme, A Night in Paris. She arrives with a huge smile and hug wishing me a happy birthday. We worked together on the menu but I gave her little direction as she already knew creatively what she wanted to prepare. Our appetizers were incredible but when we got to the beef bourguignon it was truly the best I have ever had. I cannot stop thinking about how delicious our meal was and how lucky we are to know Dani. She is so special in our lives and truly is unbelievably talented. Thank you to Dani and the team!!

  Chef Dani and All Things Fabulous catering definitely stands up to their name! We've used them for both our 10 year anniversary party and holiday parties. Dani never ceases to... Read More! amaze all of our guests with her delectable food and super service. Dani and her staff are both professional and personable making everyone walk away with a top notch experience. My husband and I would HIGHLY recommend All Things Fabulous Catering for every event from formal to simple, Dani and her staff cover it all!

  I can't say enough about how wonderful my experience was with Chef Dani. I read the flawless reviews here and upon reaching out and speaking with her, I booked her... Read More! to cater a heavy app open house for the night before my sister's memorial. We knew that quite a few people were coming in from out of town, but did not know exactly how many people would drop in. We also were navigating trying to make it feel casual and organic, yet nice and warm. Dani and her team were fantastic. I was very busy leading up to that evening, and not able to give her a tremendous amount of input. She took my input and executed exactly what I had hoped for. We ended up with a huge crowd, and all were well fed and raving about the food and service. Her Charcuterie table was unbelievable--a true masterpiece. And every passed appetizer was excellent. From bartending to service to food prep, service and clean up, she and her team did it all with grace. At the end of the night, some of us were chatting about how yummy the grilled cheese and tomato soup appetizer was. A few people had not tried it, and Dani kindly and cheerfully cooked up one last batch for us, even though she had pretty much cleaned everything up. I will absolutely be using Dani for any event in the future, either large or small.

  I can't say enough about Dani - I have used her fabulous cooking at almost every memorable event over the last year
It started with my sons engagement where... Read More! we chose a fusion of bbq and Asian small plates and we are still talking about the bbq Banh mi! And signature cocktail with edible flowers then the most gorgeous shower food with monster charcuterie and ice luge yet another function- intimate shower of chopped salads and mini grilled cheese and the best tomato soup we have ever eaten-
How about the 60's birthday where she made me a baked Alaska for 30 and beef Wellington
Then just this last week she taught a class for my mom turning 80 that wanted to learn how to make a yummy chocolate cake
It was fantastic and yummy and the butter cream was out of this world
The most important events of my life of all happened with Dani - I can't recommend her enough
She is a wonderful partner in crime!

  I hired All Things Fabulous Catering for a bridal shower. Dani and staff were amazing. Can't say enough good things about her food and service. Highly recommend!

  Chef Dani catered my event the other weekend and, not to be redundant, but it the whole experience finally culminating with the food truly was fabulous. Chef Dani is extremely... Read More! accommodating and helpful, fun to work with and innovative with the food and design ideas, and even managed to blow away my expectations on the actual output. Both the presentation on the food was gorgeous and the food itself was phenomenal. Plus, Chef Dani worked with me up front and was so cooperative to create the exact menu that I wanted. Also, she and her staff were very professional the day of the event and kept everyone happy and wanting more food.

  Chef Dani did an amazing job for my daughter's baby shower! The food was delicious & looked beautiful. I would highly recommend All Things Fabulous for your next party!

  We ordered Chef Dani's Pot Pie meal from her weekly menu. It was insanely delightful. The portions were sizable. Excellent value. We ordered two but ended up sharing one... Read More! portion.

Here's the scoop:

The pot pie was delicious, the crust was pure perfection and, the rue and vegetables were incredibly tasty.

The salad was perfectly crispy and, again, enough for two portions.

Sadly, I started writing about the Whiskey Pecan Bread Pudding but immediately experienced a foodgasm causing me to not be able to focus on my typing. Holy-moly, the bread pudding was divine! Mildly sweet and not over-sugared, the whiskey sauce with bits of pecan, was a perfect complement. We microwaved it for 10 seconds (I know, I know, sacrilegious), then added a scoop of Haagen-Dazs (only the best and pure ingredients, as if the dessert wasn't good enough on its own), the rest I can't remember because it went down so fast.

Overall, five stars for:
Value
Taste
Portion size
Service with a smile and love

Thank you Chef Dani! We look forward to supporting you again and referring others to your fantastic service.

  Chef Dani is heaven sent! Let her do the cooking, so you can enjoy your guests. You'll have nothing to worry about and will totally impress your guests. I've used... Read More! her and her team twice in the past couple of years. Once for a summer backyard BBQ and a couple of days ago for a Friendsgiving at my house. Both times the quality and taste of her cooking has been mouthwateringly delicious.

I'm a foodie with a discerning palate. You can taste the high quality ingredients in her cooking. You can see the care and pride she takes in her cooking, in her presentation. You can also sense her love of what she does, immediately upon meeting her. It's been such a pleasure working with her and all my guests are always complementing her food.

I would highly recommend her for any catering job you have, big or small. I will most definitely be using her again and again! You won't be disappointed. Thank you Chef Dani and team.
