My wife and I had our wedding catered by ACT Catering at the Chabot Space & Science Center late last year, and we were absolutely blown away by the quality of food and the professionalism of the staff throughout the entire process. Brie, our main point of contact, was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the entire 1.5 years of wedding planning. She went above and beyond, connecting us with our florist and helping us find the exact decor we envisioned from a partner vendor. Brie and her staff took the best care of us, making sure that everything transitioned smoothly from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner so we didn't have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day. So many of our guests came up to us during and after our wedding to rave about the food and service that ACT provided. We highly recommend ACT Catering to anyone looking for a wedding caterer, they are truly one of the best in the Bay Area!

Grateful to have worked with Kristine and Brie who love what they do. I'm already thinking of the next occasion to ask them to cater. Our guests were very happy with the quality, beauty and taste of the food and kept raving about it right after. Thank you, Kristine and team!

I recently had a catered lunch from here at a conference, and it was impressive. We had bento boxes as part of the conference and the choice was between tofu and salmon. I opted for salmon and it was fresh and delicious. It had 2 small salmon skewers, perfectly seasoned and cooked (so impressive with 40+ boxes), a fresh summer roll with a dipping sauce (what a smart way to serve a salad in an easy to eat, non messy way), and braised bok choy. It was at a conference, so I'm unsure of the pricing, but it was a great way to get a taste of this catering company. I would recommend it as an option if you needed boxed lunches that were both substantial, delicious and healthy. I'd assume their other offerings for events live up to it, as well.

Oh my goodness, where do I begin with my absolute adoration of ACT??? ACT Catering was a preferred caterer with my wedding venue (Chabot Space & Science Center). I was trying to plan a budget-friendly wedding and was honestly feeling very unsure about booking with a preferred caterer. To be completely honest (because I know I'm not alone in this), I wasn't sure if I would get good food at the right price from a more limited number of caterers, and I've heard similar skepticism from my other friends who were planning weddings around the same time as me. ACT proved me wrong and I am so, so, SO glad I chose to work with them!!!! When I was in the research-gathering stage of planning, they were completely understanding of that part of the process and provided me with detailed, transparent proposals to help me make the most informed decision possible. That was so important to me because booking a caterer was the biggest cost of my wedding, and they were so understanding of that! I never felt like I was asking too many questions, and in fact I felt like they wanted me to have all of the information I wanted/needed to make my decision. I gathered quotes from every vendor on our preferred caterer list, and working with ACT was a no-brainer. My primary contact was Brie, and there are not enough words to describe how wonderful she is. She made us feel like we were the only event she was coordinating (which was totally not true, they're busy bees and I now understand why!). She was so patient with all of the back and forth as I asked for different quotes for different inclusions (e.g., rentals, amount of food, drinks), and made sound recommendations when I told her which aspects of the planning I wanted to save money on. I never felt pressured or upsold - she met me where I was at and really helped me achieve my goals within that range. When you work with her, she is on your team and all in for you! Because she had worked with our venue so much, she knew ALL of the ins and outs of working there and gave us so much helpful feedback for how to schedule the wedding and set up the space so it was elegant and fun, but also functional. On the day of the wedding, the ACT team was professional, prompt, attentive, and thorough. They got our space set up SUPER quickly, our food was fresh and delicious, and they made sure guests had anything they needed all night long. We got so many compliments on our food after the wedding, someone even asked for the salad recipe so they could recreate it on their own! Working with ACT and Brie was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day. I recommend them so, SO highly!!

ACT Catering is absolutely fabulous to work with!!!! First, their food is wonderful and delicious -- they source their produce locally, so it is always fresh, healthy, and in season, and they take special care to design a menu that suits your audience. We recently organized a conference that included around 300 people, and they managed to create breakfast, lunch, and a robust reception that pleased everyone -- the food was happily consumed by all, and we received many positive comments on it :) But perhaps just as importantly, they are incredibly professional, attentive, and amazing problem solvers. They view their job as not only to provide the best food possible, but also to work with you to create the best experience possible for you and the audience they're cooking for. They worked with me in menu selection, room configuration, and setup design, and at every step of the way, they were kind and insightful. They are smart thought partners as well as fantastic chefs, and I would recommend them highly for any occasion. I loved working with them and look forward to future opportunities to work with them again!

I hired ACT Catering for our wedding at Hacienda de las Flores in August 2021. I was blown away when Kristine hit the nail on the head with the menu after our initial conversation. I could not have envisioned something more delicious and fun. I described our wedding plans and some thoughts on the food we wanted - my husband is Indian and we wanted flavorful food that would be interesting and tasty. The food was beautiful, delicious, flavorful and fun! Kristine was very receptive and communicative and a pleasure to work with. Her team was really wonderful for the tasting and day-of as well. In addition to the food, Kristine was able to help out with our wedding chairs and lighting which was just what I wanted. I truly appreciate Kristine and her team. They helped make my wedding stress-free and also helped bring it all together and everything I could have imagined. Photos by Gabriel Harber Photography.

Act Catering sure knows how to bring beautiful, in season food to your table! They prepare meals that are paired with every detail in mind. Each item packaged with care and labeled for your ease. During Covid-19, their curbside pick up is a super easy stop. Make sure to order in advance as they are getting busy. I loved how my feast for two had detailed instructions on how to properly heat up every dish. My partner and I enjoyed a lovely holiday feast, turned to date night. The sides were just as good as the main! Lamb, pomegranate brussel sprouts, blood orange salad, au gratin potatoes, and a decadent bread pudding were just the right combinations to hit the spot. Support local businesses with amazing teams like Act Catering!

This Thanksgiving I was treated with an amazing feast from ACT Catering. It's an unusual Thanksgiving due to Covid so my family skipped the big celebration to be on the safe side and stay healthy. When the delivery arrived I couldn't be any happier with this spread to my doorstep with the heating instructions enclosed. Each dish was carefully packed, labeled and with a beautiful presentation. Thank you to the amazing food, service and hardworking staff that prepared this exquisite meal. Just see the photos I've attached and feel free to drool on them! I look forward to my next catering meal from them!

I feel like I've discovered a secret. At the time of writing this review, ACT Catering only has 8 reviews! Our first sample of ACT was their Thanksgiving menu. We're not huge fans of traditional turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce, so when we saw the vegetarian menu of stuffed bell peppers with jackfruit, warm artichoke and persimmon salad, sweet potato and bread stuffing, olive oil mashed potatoes, and purple yam cake with graham cracker crust and coconut milk topping, we were immediately intrigued. We ordered shortly before they sold out. All we can say is, wow. The food rivals the best meals we've had at Millennium and Gather, which is all the more impressive given that it was delivered and reheated. Instructions were easy to follow: eg, heat in the oven at 325 for 20 minutes, serve at room temperature, etc. Even the presentation was lovely, and we had no trouble plating the food so that it looked much tastier than typical takeout. Also, the portions were huge. We divided the meal into two dinners for two. It was 5 courses, so we had 2 courses plus half of the dessert each night. For the quality of the food alone, the price was very reasonable. Similar quality and quantity at other restaurants would cost up to double. We will definitely try their regular menu next. We had no idea such a delicious restaurant was hiding just an online order away.

I was unbelievably impressed by the food included in my Thanksgiving for order! Everything came packed in compostable & recyclable packaging. Instructions were included and the food was easy to heat, assemble, and serve. The use of seasonal ingredients in their menu was so incredibly tasty. Everything was seasoned perfectly! My fave was the persimmons and garlic mashed potatoes. The team had great communication and were incredibly kind. I definitely look forward to ordering from ACT in the future!
