The Food
With more than 20 years experience in Silicon Valley and a proven track record with all the big high-tech companies, this company offers a range of menu choices and price ranges to fit your budget and predilections. Chefs whip up more than 60 types of hors d'oeuvres, from bruschetta to Mandarin chicken, and luxe entrée selections such as Maine lobster served with homemade gnocchi or mesquite-grilled tri-tip with wild mushroom sauce. They can also run with vegetarian or theme dinners.
The Scene
Catered Affair works closely with Villa Montalvo, the historic Club Almaden and the more casual Hoagies Deli Cafe in Santa Clara (which holds up to 225 guests), making these venues the most hassle-free of party sites.
