AndaJo Hayes: Allen is so wonderful and attentive when working with his clients. It is so nice to have a professional that warms your heart as soon as you meet him!

Angelica Salgado: We used Ambrosia for our wedding back in Sept. 23, 2017. Allen and his team really went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was everything we envisioned and more.. we got a package deal which was a great price and saved us the hassle of getting multiple vendors. They will happily customize your package to accommodate your needs. We got our photo/video as well as DJ, makeup & hair & even lighting for our venue.. makeup & hair were amazing khaye knew exactly the look I wanted to go for & she did exactly that. Walter & Michael did a great job with photos and video.. they even offer workshops for people that are camera shy so that they can learn to get more comfortable for the big day.. I don't know of any other company that offers that.. our dj was amazing, he even stayed extra since we were having so much fun.. I definitely reccomend Ambrosia for any event. They are very friendly and really get to know their clients on a pesosnal level which I love.. I will definitely use them again.

Jennifer Vorhes: ! My Florist, Amanda made my flowers beautiful. Our DJ, was amazing, he played all the songs i wanted, had the guests laughing and even stayed a little longer then what he was supposed to because we were having such a great time dancing! Our videoaugrapher was good, but we are just waiting of our final cut of our video! All in all our day was perfect, with the perfect staff!! I would absolutely recommend Ambrosia for any one of my friends!!

Brianna Nix: Booked for:Day of Wedding CoordinatorDjHair & makeupPhotographerWe came across Ambrosia because we were in need of a Day of Wedding Coordinator. If we didn't have one, our venue was going to charge us more. Were we happy to find out that Ambrosia was pretty much a one stop shop for all our wedding needs. And an excellent one at that. Turns out Ambrosia would be the source for our photographer, hair and make up, day of coordinator, and our DJ. We had shopped around many bridal shows and needed to find a photographer who could capture light and dark skin tones together. When we met with Allen and Jina to figure out our needs, they were patient, fun, and attentive. They made sure we understood what Ambrosia could offer and there was no pressure to book, because Ambrosia Event Services sells itself. We were sold when Allen said they typically have couples do a practice photoshoot before your engagement shoot. There they will teach to how to stand and pose, so that your wedding photos will look more comfortable. Wow! Such attention to detail! Walter, our photographer, was Amazing! He was professional, funny, took beautiful shots, and captured exactly what we asked. He also threw in some surprise shots as well. For the wedding, we worked with Walter and Andrew, and having two photographers allowed us to capture almost every moment possible. Khaye, did my wife's hair and makeup. She did a practice run as promised a few days before the wedding and was really kind and attentive. My wife looked very natural and gorgeous. We had a death in our family weeks before our wedding and the venue kept changing our walkthrough day. Ambrosia was completely understanding and did everything they could to make all appointments with our venue. Due to the death in our family, we weren't able to meet extensively with DJ Jose, but we spoke on the phone often, and he was able to get all of our requested music and kept the party fun and light. Lastly, Amanda and Ashley stepped in as our Day of Coordinators and it seemed like they had been with us throughout the whole two years of planning. They were absolutely AMAZING! The entire day went off without an issue. They were able to connect with our videographers, decorating staff, and chefs to ensure that we had the most beautiful and fun day. Words cannot express how thankful we are to have found Ambrosia. Even if you're like me and have everything together, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that Ambrosia can add something to your special day that you never knew you needed.Brianna & Lydia12.15.18

Brianna Alvarez: Our wedding took place on December 10, 2016 & Ambrosia's team was amazing ! So if you're looking for a wonderful team to capture & help you on your special day go to them you won't regret it ! We got a wedding package that included an engagement session which was awesome because Walter the photographer is soo good he has a passion for photography & it helps a lot to get to know some tips so you can be more prepared on your wedding day. It also included a coordinator which was so sweet Kaithleen I'm so grateful for her because thanks to her we had a smooth schedule that day & were able to stay on top of bouquet toss, father-daughter dance, cake cutting, etc. Dj Tracey is truly the best Dj I have ever met he is really good always has a smile makes you feel like you've know him for years. Special thanks to Allen & his wonderful team We would do this all over again with them. Thank you Allen, Walter, Andrew, Kaithleen,& Tracey .

Michael coordinated everything and had incredible patience and attention to detail. The makeup turned out gorgeous on all of the ladies - everyone was just beautiful!!

I highly recommend Ambrosia - you won't be sorry!!

JENIFFER ACEVEDO: Positive:Professionalism

Jennifer Tsan: Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, I had booked LAFB Catering for my 2020 wedding. The food we had at the tasting was DIVINE to say the least. The chicken piccata was perfect, and the mash potatoes were buttery smooth. They have been responsive and friendly throughout it all. In the end, we had to cancel our wedding, and LAFB continued to be gracious and understanding, despite how hard the wedding industry has been hit. I fully expect and hope to book with them again as soon as things settle down.

Huntington Beach Coastrunner: Prior to my retirement I catered with LAFB for years! The food, the presentation, and the service were always exemplary.I ordered from their online "Market" for Cinco De Mayo and the Fajita Bar was the BEST!!! Absolutely delicious! So happy they are providing this "pick-up" service during this "stay home" period.

Tracy Pretlow: Raquel and her team are FANTASTIC!TLDR: You’re missing out if you don’t go with Catered By Raquel.My husband and I found Raquel when we had to make last minute changes to our wedding plan due to COVID back in 2021.

When we met Raquel the day of our wedding, she was an awesome bright spirit.To top it all off, the food was not only delicious but absolutely beautiful.
