"I truly wish I could give Carlton catering 10 stars! They catered my wedding and did a fantastic job! From my first telephone call to Aran I felt an energy and a confidence in her that put me right at ease and I knew I found my caterer. At that time my fiancé wasn't convinced because he hadn't been engaged in the conversations. Aran offered a tasting and once he met her in person and tasted the food, he looked at me and smiled, he was ready to sign. She is very communicative throughout the entire process. Her pricing is is so incredibly reasonable, especially when you consider what you receive from her and her team. The feedback from my guests after my wedding was 'that food was amazing!" "That catering company was spot on". I agree, the setup, the professionalism from her and her team, the tasty food selections, the desserts, everything was absolutely perfect!! One thing I might add, I had to walk through the kitchen in my wedding gown to get to my starting point to walk down the aisle. As I stood there waiting for my que, I all of sudden got nervous, Aran saw it on my face and this lady stopped cooking, came and stood in front of me a did a dance singing how beautiful I looked, I laughed so hard I quickly forgot my nerves. Aran, thank you for making my day so memorable you are amazing!!"

"Chef Aran was very professional and helpful giving advise on food types. I decided to go with the Taco bar for my daughter’s graduation. With choices of Asada, carnitas (the best), Al pastor, the rice was authentic Mexican rice (sopa de arroz), along with the salsas, I give her a 10/10. Dessert and charcuterie board were also very delicious. I will definitely use her services again in the near future. Thank you Chef Aran."

"We used Aaron Carlton for a catering event and she far outreached our expectations. She was on time and professional. Not only was the food amazing but the grazing table display was absolutely beautiful! We definitely look forward to working with her in the future and highly recommend her for any catering events you may have."

"Chef Aran was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the beginning I knew I was in great hands. Not only was the food spectacular, the presentation was gorgeous! She worked with me from the start to customize a beautiful spread within my budget. The quality of the food was above expectations and Chef Aran went above and beyond! She even came back after the party to clean up and pack up leftovers for us. She also is just a super sweet and fun person to be around I wish she could have stayed and hung out with us :) Just amazing service start to finish! Look no further- I highly recommend Chef Aran for any occasion!"

"Chef Aran and her team are absolutely top notch. While I’ve know Aran through the myriad talents she’s had over the past 20 years, I had never solicited her catering until we sadly needed someone to feed our grieving family after the loss of my baby nephew. When I tell you that Aran’s services went far beyond that of a caterer, I’m saying the least. Aran handled some of the most difficult situations with absolute grace. Even up to the last few days before the event when we had some major changes, she was able to pivot in what seemed the most effortless way. Now to the good stuff!!! The food and service were amazing! We opted for passed appetizers and Aran&co. were so personable and friendly, and they sought me out to make sure I got the vegan versions of the delicious dishes she prepared. We also got an incredible grazing table that incorporated photos of our sweet baby boy. The food was accessible, plentiful, and so deliciously prepared. There was great variety and something for everyone. Another thing she offered that I’ve never seen: flavor bottles for the iced tea and lemonade station! That was so cool!!! After the service, we had a social at our family home and Aran ran home, pulled some pork she’d been cooking all day, and fed our whole family another incredible meal. She was literally available at our mom’s beck and call. She provided an end to end experience that I would like to say is because she’s been a close friend for years, but I know it’s just because she’s a top rate business owner who cares deeply for her clients and providing the best service to anyone who trusts her to do so. If you are looking for a flexible, talented, and genuine person to provide your catering needs, Aran is the one to do it in Northern California. I will never not recommend her!!"
