I would give Svetlana Catering 10 stars!
Our wedding reception was perfect and stress and panic free. Polina worked with me on the menu, advising me what would work best for our situation and our complex guest list which included both omnivores and vegetarians. She did a pre-event consult in our home and her attention to detail was nearly frightening. She pointed out details that I had not thought of.
The day of the reception Polina’s crew arrived and very efficiently proceeded to set up for the party. They took care of all the rentals needed and set up the bar and tables and chairs on the patio.
The food was marvelous and we both heard several of our guests raving about how good it was. It was not only delicious, it was beautiful to look at, and was artfully presented. Polina’s staff was AWESOME! Everyone was friendly, professional, unobtrusive and extremely helpful.
After the party was over, they quickly and quietly packed up; they even mopped my kitchen floor!
Would I use Svetlana Catering again? In a heartbeat! ~Alexandra E., San Bruno

I hired Polina to cater our wedding and couldn’t have been happier with this decision. The food was amazing, fresh, and felt so healthy and light compared to typical wedding food that always seems to be heavy. We had a Hawaiian themed wedding and Polina really did her homework and was very thoughtful in preparing a menu with many options that reflected flavors and foods found in Hawaii.
Polina was very professional and really worked with us to help us stay within budget but to still have plenty of great food. On the day of, her coordinator and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. I felt very confident in Polina’s ability to make our reception appetizers and buffet taste delicious and be presented in a beautiful way. It was nice to not have to worry about any of that on the big wedding day. I got many compliments about how amazing the food looked and tasted from many of my guests. I would highly recommend Polina and Svetlana Catering for any of your events. You will not be disappointed. ~Beth S., East Bay

I have used Svetlana Catering for my daughter’s Bridal Shower. The shower was on Sunday and I spoke to her Wednesday night, 3 days before the event, for the first time. Polina, the owner of Svetlana Catering, helped me with the menu and matched my budget. On a party day, she was right on time, helped me with getting things plated though it was just a drop service….The food was awesome! Guests could not stop talking about the piroshki which was big hit on a party! We will definitely use Svetlana Catering again! I highly recommend her if you need catering service for any occasion! ~Natasha N, South Bay (bridal shower)

I used Svetlana Catering for my wedding and Polina and her team did an AMAZING job!!! I could not have been happier. The food was absolutely wonderful, the staff were so professional and helpful and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing that day; Polina and her team took care of whatever came up. Polina was VERY flexible and very conscientious and honestly just took care of things. On a day where there is a lot going on, I was able to just let Polina and her team take care of the reception and I didn’t have to worry about a thing—which is HUGE on your wedding day! There aren’t enough words to express how happy I was with Polina and her team. I HIGHLY recommend Polina for any type of catering you might need! ~Christine H., San Francisco
