❤️Julia & Monty are booked with and for their May 2026 wedding day! They have been busy bees with their wedding planning.💯

Julia praised owner Leon for being their first contact by phone in February who was fantastic & sold them, to look no further for a caterer!👊🏼

Our future bride & groom met in college through mutual friends. When Julia initially observed a classic 1968 Dodge Super B, she said, “I’m going to find the owner of this car, and I am getting a ride!” The owner was her groom! They’ve been cruising through life together ever since.🚙They LOVE to travel, and hope to honeymoon in Italy. Their fur baby is Freddy. They both attended Embry-Riddle University. Our bride is a teacher & our groom is an engineer.

Congratulations Monty & Julia! We are excited to support your special day😘

We greeted students at the second annual job fair @ The SMJUHSD Techical Center. Student’s attend from SMHS, RHS & PVHS high schools. Leon, Kathleen & Jenna were happy to greet & meet more than 50 students with mock interviews. We proudly shared about on-call catering job opportunities for the wonderful & eager students! The culinary students created breakfast & lunch for all the business participants, which was amazing! It was nice to meet Antonio Garcia, the superintendent of SMJUHSD. Jenna’s mom Joni who also works for SMJUHSD paid a visit of support! We look forward to next year!
