Colette's Catering & Events has operated in Fullerton since 1992, when founder Colette Coffman began the business as a one-woman cake-and-catering operation; co-owner Duane Greenleaf joined in 2004. The business serves Orange County, Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire/Desert region, and publishes a two-tier venue list: three exclusive venues (Muckenthaler Mansion, Ebell of Santa Ana, Balboa's Edge) and 26 further preferred venues across the three regions it serves.
Colette's publishes a dedicated wedding page describing full-service catering packages, customized menus, full bar service and event staff, but the only priced menu anywhere on its site is a "Catering Daily Menu" that states outright it is a weekday, 6am-to-5pm corporate drop-off menu — not a wedding menu. That document prices delivery minimums ($150 cold, $250 hot), an after-hours/weekend surcharge of $3 per person on entrées, a 20% administrative fee on VIP buffets and full-service events (stated as separate from gratuity), and hourly staffing rates from $30 to $45 depending on role. No per-person wedding price, deposit figure or cancellation policy is published anywhere on the site; expect a custom quote for an actual wedding.
The business won two national awards in 2023 from the International Caterers Association/ACE Awards, one specifically for Best Off-Premise Catering — the example cited on its own site is an outdoor winery wedding — and a second for a "Small Plates" submission. Its press coverage includes Us Weekly, Brides Magazine, Style Me Pretty, Green Wedding Shoes, and a joint KTLA5/Martha Stewart feature.
Fullerton wedding and event caterer since 1992 with three exclusive and 26 preferred venues across OC, LA County and the Inland Empire; its only published per-head pricing is from a weekday corporate drop-off menu, not a wedding menu — won two 2023 ICA/ACE national catering awards.
Our wedding at the Muckenthaler Mansion was perfect thanks to Colette's. The Korean Beef Meatballs were a huge hit with our guests, and the service was flawless from start to finish.
We had 165 guests at our wedding and Colette's handled it beautifully. The Airline Chicken was cooked perfectly and so many guests told us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had.
For our micro wedding, Colette's created an intimate menu around New York Strip Steak and a gorgeous strawberry rose cake. Every detail was thoughtful and the food was restaurant-quality.
