Poe & Co Catering - Santa Barbara, California

Jared R.

I recently worked with Jamie / Poe & Co on two catered events for a press trip I was coordinating, and I couldn't have been happier with my decision. From the initial planning conversations, to curating the menus (which integrated specific products from my clients), to on-site execution & presentation, Jamie knocked everything out of the park. If you're looking for someone to elevate the food/bev experience at your next event, I highly recommend reaching out to Poe & Co. Thank you, Jamie!

It was an absolute joy to work with Jamie, Jason, and their team for our wedding reception. I can’t recommend them highly enough! They turned our side yard into the gourmet, warm, and bustling dinner-in-the-vineyard I dreamed of and that our guests are still calling a month later to rave about.

From start to finish, they made the planning process and the day itself flawless. After our ceremony, we were greeted at our own front door with the most beautiful and delicious hors d’oeuvres— and the team’s welcome, smiling faces made it even more special. Every one of our 65 guests was treated with same attention throughout the evening.

The food was incredible - even better than the delicious lunch tasting we'd had. Our guests, who ranged from meat-and-potatoes to Manhattan foodies, raved first about the beautiful presentation of short ribs, and sea bass, then about how delicious everything was. Clear testament: they finished every bite.

The Poe & Co. team’s attentiveness truly stood out too. They made sure everything ran smoothly and every guest felt welcome. They circulated passed beverages and hors d'oeuvres through cocktail hour seamlessly, at dinner guests at each table were served simultaneously, the team accommodated the chilly, windy evening (futilely and repeatedly relit candles whenever asked), tight tables, and eccentric requests so gracefully.

Poe & Co. exceeded all of our expectations in serving beautiful and delicious food and creating an incredibly attentive and warm experience for us and for our guests. Then they left our kitchen spotless.

If you’re looking for amazing food, impeccable service, and a team that truly cares about making your day unforgettable, this is the one to book.

Poe & Co is THE BEST catering I have ever used, hands down. Healthy, delicious food beautifully displayed and with options for any dietary needs my crew has. Easy to work with to plan menu's, delivery always on time, I can't recommend them enough. I've used Poe & Co for nearly 3 years now for Production catering and will continue to use them anytime I am in CA. They are my go-to people and Jamie is an absolutely lovely person to work with and know so I feel wonderful supporting her business.

Despite a last-minute catering request for a small reception, Jamie and her husband, Jayson, delivered exceptional service that exceeded our expectations despite their busy schedule. Jamie's suggestions were on point, and the pastries were delicious and presented impressively. The pastries received rave reviews from everyone!!!

I am genuinely grateful for Jamie and Jayson's efforts and want you to know that you will always be our go-to caterer. You deserve more than five stars, you deserve a bazillion stars! I am genuinely thankful to have discovered you.

Absolutely fantastic experience with Poe & Co!

From start to finish, they made our wedding day in August unforgettable. Their team was incredibly professional, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. The food was nothing short of amazing—our guests are still talking about the salmon, short ribs, appetizers, and the olive oil cakes to this day.

What truly stood out to us was the personalized touch. Poe & Co worked closely with us to customize the menu to reflect our tastes and dietary preferences, and even offered creative ideas (like placing florals on top of the butter) to make our celebration unique.

We highly recommend Poe & Co for your wedding or any catering needs– they truly made our day so special!

The best wedding caterers!! Jamie and Jayson are amazing to work with and make insanely great food. They’re professional, relaxed, gracious and listen to all your ideas, flavor profiles and preferences to make an incredible wedding meal. After our tasting, I counted down the days to our wedding to be able to eat their food again and made a point on the wedding day to do so (even with all the adrenaline and people pulling me left and right). Mid-wedding people were raving about the food and afterwards we got so many texts about how it was the best food many of our guests had ever had at a wedding.

Their desserts are also to die for and I dream of their dark chocolate chip cookies and mini olive oil cakes. We really wish we asked for a box of leftovers of everything because it was all SO good.

My husband and I feel so lucky to have worked with Poe & Co and cannot recommend them enough!!

The food was great! We got everything we wanted and Jamie was a pleasure to work with. We explained that we were eloping and wanted picnic style food for two as well as packaged takeaway style food for the vendors. Even though this was an unusual request, they worked with us every step of the way to tailor the experience to our needs and work within our budget. We ended up with the perfect amount of food and the most magical picnic ever! Thank you so much Jamie and Poe and Co!!

Ive been wanting to try Poe & Co for a while and let me tell you, it did not disappoint!
Jamie worked with me to create a menu that was perfect for our party. The quantities she suggested were spot on and the flavors were amazing. You can tell their care and quality is a high priority.
They organized a pick up catering order for us and it couldnt have gone better. Highly recommend.
