Jackson Catering Events

Good Planning Terrible Execution We opted for Jackson Catering based on positive reviews from the catering list, and despite our initial optimism, it turned out to be a regrettable decision. Initially, everything seemed promising. Danica exhibited excellent communication skills, promptly responding to inquiries. The complimentary tasting was a helpful touch, and they were accommodating when I requested a change to one of the dish recipes. Unfortunately, the turning point was the event day itself. The execution was the worst I have witnessed, and it undeniably left a negative impression on our guests. The late arrival of the appetizers and drinks during the cocktail hour not only disrupted the schedule but also created unnecessary stress and anxiety during what should have been a joyous occasion. Furthermore, the quality of the food fell far below the standards we were promised during our initial tastings. The taste, presentation, and overall execution of the appetizers (samosas wontons), chicken tikka masala and naan were all severely lacking, leaving a lasting negative impression on our guests. This experience has not only tarnished our guests ' experience on a day we had eagerly awaited but has also cast a shadow on the reputation of your company. We expected nothing short of exceptional service, especially given the premium we paid for your catering services. Regrettably, what we received was anything but. I made sure to pay for extra food as noted in the contract; it was for 143 guests. Although only about 100 guests attended they felt there was not enough food.

My fiance and I have booked Jackson Catering for our wedding in May 2023! We went in for a tasting and the food was amazing. Staff was very nice and informative, they do it all on the wedding day from start to finish and the pricing was very reasonable. We'll see what happens on the big day but from what I've experienced do far, I think we are in good hands!

Jackson Catering absolutely delivered on our wedding day! We went with the Wine Country Cheese Station for the appetizer and it was completely gone after the cocktail hour. For dinner, we went with the buffet service. Their service was impeccable and it ran seamlessly. Our guests were able to get their food in a timely manner. Our guests and including us RAVED about the food. We recommend the Cast Iron Crisp Chicken and Braised Beef Short Rib!! Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was. I highly recommend them for your next big event!

Jackson Catering really delivered! We enjoyed two tastings before the wedding and were impressed by their personal attention as well as the delicious food. They were a pleasure to work with leading up to the big day and all of our guests RAVED about the dinner which made us feel great. They even accommodated our vegan guests who really enjoyed their entree. Be sure to try: Shrimp Tostadas, Lentil Fritters, Cast Iron Crisp Chicken, and Ravioli.

Some of the best food in Sacramento! They somehow have managed to make everything on their menu high quality gourmet but feel like home made goodness. I've never used them as a catering service, but have heard nothing but great things. Stopping by the restaurant to pick up some meals to go is what keeps me coming back here, but I will be definitely using their catering service if I plan a large event in the future. I've tried everything on the menu, and have never been disappointed!
