Personal Touch Dining has catered events across San Diego County since 1988, serving weddings, corporate events, fundraising galas, school dances, private parties, film and production catering, and hospital and healthcare catering. The business states it provides exclusive or preferred venue management for Leo Carrillo Ranch, Mt. Woodson Castle and Harbor View Loft, and has also catered at Scripps Seaside Forum.
Wedding event types served include engagement parties and bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, ceremonies and receptions, post-wedding brunches, anniversary celebrations and elopement packages. No per-person pricing is published; the business recommends booking 10 to 12 months in advance for popular wedding-season dates.
Wedding packages include tables, chairs, floor-length linens, color-coordinated napkins, white china, flatware and glassware, plus complimentary cake cutting and service, a champagne or cider toast, and complimentary corkage of the client's own wine. Service styles include buffet, plated dinner, family-style, cocktail reception and late-night stations (sliders, taco bites, dessert bars). Bar service is offered as hosted packages or à la carte bartending with licensed staff. The business's crew handles load-in, setup, bar setup and post-event strike of rentals.
Our guests couldn't stop talking about the short rib, the mashed potatoes, our churro station, and oddly, the carrots for months after. Many of our friends noted how often a side dish veggie usually gets overcooked at a wedding, but the carrots were consistently cooked perfectly.
The custom menu was one of our favorite things about Personal Touch, as it helped us create several cultural dishes that were important to our day. The staff during the wedding were professional and accommodating.
We booked them for our bar service, passed appetizers, buffet dinner, and late-night snacks, and every part of the experience exceeded our expectations. One of our favorite parts of the planning process was the private tasting.
