Vucacious Catering

I hired Kim and her team to cater my 35^th birthday party and they were nothing short of perfection. Kim is so sweet and knew exactly what I wanted. From the beginning she was quick to respond to emails and calls and was so helpful in picking out my menu. They went above and beyond to make sure my party went off without a hitch. The servers were very professional and friendly. The food was so delicious. All of my friends raved at how great the food was. I am definitely using them for every party I host!

Kim’s food is outstanding. She catered an event for my company for about 60 guests and the spread was phenomenal. Our menu had chicken satay with a delicious sauce, skewers of tomato and mozzarella, pork sliders, and lovely red velvet cupcakes. Best part is that her staff sets up promptly and professionally, and they make sure that there’s always enough food on the buffet. Kim and her staff take care of everything from start to finish — definitely a stress reliever when you’re running an event.

Our nonprofit has used Kim for years, but this was my first time working with Kim. She runs a very professional business with delicious food and is our go-​to caterer for events. Everyone I work with told me that I would love Kim’s food and enjoy working with her. Both are true. Kim knows how to cater an event and make it both memorable and fun. She has great taste, great style and great ideas! I would recommend any business hire Kim for their next corporate event.

I was looking to host a dinner party to celebrate my wife’s 30^th birthday. While I consider myself a decent chef, I wanted to be able to enjoy the night and decided to bring in a professional. Kim was exactly that.
From start to finish Kim was very easy to work with. I contacted and priced a number of different private chefs and Kim was the only one who took my generic idea of what I was looking for and transformed it into an amazing 7-​course Italian feast! It was exactly what I wanted, though she had individual prices on each menu item so I could decide to swap out things for other items based on my budget. I decided to keep it as is and everything turned out wonderfully. We had 8 couples and every one of them were extremely impressed by the quality of food and I was very impressed by the service.
Kim and her crew also helped with table planning, setup, decorations, linen/​chair rental, the whole thing. Oh and the best part, they do all the dishes and wrap any leftovers and put them in your fridge which we enjoyed for the next week.
All in all we had a wonderful event and I wholeheartedly recommend Vucacious Catering. I will definitely be a repeat customer should I decide to host another event. Thank you Kim!

We used Kim for a start-​up tech house party in Beverly Hills for 80 guests and about 6 hours of ‘party’ and she did a wonderful job preparing awesome entrees, finger foods and fresh fruits and veggies just like what we had ordered. The set-​up and take-​down was seamless and she was responsive to everything. Def using her again :)

It was a pleasure working with Kim for my baby shower! Not only was the food very good — but Kim just has a fantastic attitude. She is extremely likable, trustworthy, and delivers on time. She was also willing to work with my tight budget and be flexible to make my shower how I envisioned it. The Unilocal reviews are true! She’s a five star caterer! Don’t hesitate!

A++++
Not living in Southern California, I wanted to find a caterer for our wedding who cooked with an Asian influence and finding Vucacious Catering on Unilocal fit the first requirement. I also wanted a trained chef who was more than a home cook who started a side business. I wanted a caterer who had great reviews. Vucacious met my needs.
Now how do I communicate with her from thousands of miles away? I was already going to trust that her food was going to taste good. Will we be able to make sure we got what we wanted and on time, without any hitches? We corresponded by phone and e-​mail. The written descriptions of the proposed menu items were spot on. She made several suggestions as to a menu and was able to add specific items that I requested. She was very accessible the entire time. Kim is very friendly and helpful
Kim catered our intimate wedding and did a fabulous job. Her food was delicious and tasted like it came from a highly trained chef. It was also presented in an elegant fashion. The food was plentiful; my only regret is that I was so caught up in the moment that I was not able to get seconds of certain dishes. Our guests benefited. They loved the food!
Kim showed up at the house on time and made sure everything was being taken care of before she had to leave for another event. Her assistant stayed the entire time and helped clean up.
We really want to thank Kim for her great job attending to our wedding. We are both senior citizens so we know what delicious food and great service looks like. Vucacious Catering delivers on all counts!

Kim is the best! She is my GO TO caterer for all types of events. The food is fantastic and creative, everything is done on time and impeccable and everyone just loves the food! Vucacious Catering is fantastic for showers, birthday parties, housewarming parties and so much more!

Kim and her team are the highest caliber of professional. Not only is the food amazing, but Kim’s foresight and attention to detail are second to none. Furthermore, she is a pleasure to work with and someone my company relies on as a go-​to for all our events. Kim is the best!

Simply delicious food! Kim is an amazing find!
I found Kim on Unilocal while looking to plan a company event! She was always quick to answer questions and provide menu estimates. Kim did a fabulous job on our event last night! The food was delicious and we had plenty for everyone. We had a full bar as well. Kim and her staff provide Excellent customer service! They are very friendly serving and cleaning up everything. I will definitely use them again!

First of all, I rarely write Unilocal reviews but… Kim Vu (of Vucacious Catering) is one of the most amazing people I have ever had the fortune to come across!
I was planning my first big party (50+ people) at my house in Santa Monica and having never done this before (and filled with a healthy dose of anxiety), I looked online to see whether or not I can afford catering.
After calling several folks, I came across Kim who, hearing what I wanted, was kind, patient, and willing to work within my budget, while always being the eminent professional. I can’t say enough good things about her — the way she runs her business, her food, her interpersonal skills and her general easygoing and «willing to work with you» kind of nature. She is one of these rare people who sees the bigger picture. She is doing what she loves — making her clients wishes come true — rather than chasing short-​term profit potential! Amazing!
She will be my only call for catering/​party planning for my 2015 wedding!

Recently booked Kim at Vucacious catering for my party of 60 people at my house.
It was PERFECT
food was delicious (the baked brie crostini, the vegetable skewers, the pulled pork little sandwiches…)
her team was very professional but still extremely friendly
they set up on time and cleaned everything afterwards. the guests loved them!
She worked within my budget and was always available to accomodate me, even last minute changes
I highly recommend Vucacious catering!

As far as I am concerned I would not consider having an event without having Kim’s team involved. The food is always superb, service fantastic and all amenities are always met for our guests.

Kim and her staff are the best. They can work with any budget and deliver on time and always get raves about flavor profiles. I have worked with Vucacious Catering for years and I never use anyone else. Definitely would recommend.

My experience with Vivacious Catering was truly delightful! The food was superb, and the service was excellent. They are so on point! I definitely recommend Vivacious Catering to anyone looking a professional catering company that serves top quality food.

The bar has truly been raised! Vucacious is the Diamond standard for service, food and professionalism. I absolutely recommend them for any event — large or small. They make having a successful event simple as they take the guess work and stress out of the planning equation. Also, for such a premium service, they are value priced for such an impressive team of foodie/​event experts! I feel like they always give me the family price plan! Shhhhh! Don’t tell Kim and team we aren’t related… I can’t wait until the next event! Those wraps and skewers are calling for me!!! Cheers!

I used Vucacious Catering for an event, and was thrilled with the results. The food was delicious, especially loved the lettuce wrap dish, and the service was professional. I would wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone who wants a top notch caterer.
