DD is planning a casual wedding and I'm trying to help her scope out some food options.
An assortment of fresh, delicious salads made in bulk would round out the menu very nicely.
Also interested in ordering platters of substantial appetizers.
Not familiar with restaurants/ delis in the area. Don't want to break the bank but quality is important. Actually, all recommendations appreciated independent of cost. We'd like to help "the kids" by providing this additional food.
Counting on pea power here!
Thanks in advance.

Sweetgreen is a chain and their salads are great. I'm not sure if they do catering though. They're all over the Bay Area. This place has amazing food and they do catering. They're in Santa Clara: Bloom Eatery & Catering |

A Black Tie Affair is a catering company in South San Francisco. After the covid shutdown started, A Black Tie starting selling daily family meals. That's when I tried them for the first time (never heard of them before). Their food is delicious and high quality. Their seasoning is always spot on -- never salty. Their salads and dressings are great -- my DH loves them and he's pretty picky. I've ordered meals from them at least a dozen times. If I ever cater an event, I would definitely consider them. www.ablacktieaffairinc.com |

May I ask what you ordered for the wedding? |

I can't remember much.. pad thai, two kinds of curry--like yellow and red, rice, veggie something... standard dishes. 4 yrs ago..spring rolls.
then we had to order a meal from local italian place close by for my dad who couldn't eat thai. and the address of wedding was unknowable on google maps. lots of fun.

I’m not much help as I never entertain on my own, but my sister might have some ideas. I’ll ask her if/when I ever see her again. (She retired, got bored, went back to work, and now seems to work seven days a week. And she hates technology. Honestly, I’ll be lucky if I see her again before mid-month, and she just lives down the street from me.)
I have been to events catered by Black Tie, though, and the food has been excellent.

I’ve used Esposto’s catering. in South San Francisco . They are reasonably priced , provides a lot of food and very accommodating. If you use them , ask for Miranda.
Bianchini’s in San Carlos as well is a great caterer. We’ve used them many times as well
