We have a great passion for authenticity in our cooking.

While the sustainable food movement has become a way of life here in the Bay Area, we have always made using our local foodshed a priority in our business model.  As a Bay Area based company, our commitment to local and responsible food has strong roots in California that are reflected in our menus.

Blue Heron is highly sought after because we work so closely with the people who grow, raise and produce everything we use.  It is not unusual to see a chef, event manager, or owner out on the farm or at the market stall.

We believe in great service and build our team around this premise. When we cater your event, who is there is as important as what we serve. Many of our staff members come from some of the finest restaurants and share our commitment to making every event one to be remembered and to treating every guest with kindness. Blue Heron firmly believes in the "wow factor" and the magic that lies in the details.

We mean it when we say let us make your culinary dream come true.

  • "I recently worked with Blue Heron Catering for a wedding, and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Their team was organized, communicative, and incredibly easy to collaborate with. The food was beautifully presented and delicious — guests were raving about it all night. I highly recommend Blue Heron Catering to anyone looking for exceptional food, service, and a vendor team you can truly rely on."

  • "Blue Heron is absolutely the best catering experience I have had. EVER! Their food is absolutely superb (I had compliments from many guests), surprisingly reasonable prices, for numerous, interesting menu options, and outstanding communication and flexibility. I worked with them on a wedding reception for my son and daughter in law, and Debbie Pfisterer and her wonderful team worked with us to stay within budget, design an indoor outdoor floor plan for our space, and plan for weather contingencies (ie rain). They are a local, independent business in the East Bay, with kind and patient staff. Every staff member at the event went above and beyond with customer service. I cannot recommend Blue Heron more highly for your event."

  • "Blue Heron catered our wedding at the Brazilian Room in Berkeley, and it was PERFECT. Starting from the initial planning, Debbie was an absolute joy to work with. She incorporated all of our ideas we came in with, and helped us fill in the gaps with their amazing menu. The tastings were great and helped us confidently decide on the delicious final menu. Very attentive to all of our guests dietary restrictions as well. They also dealt masterfully with all of our last minute little things, like patio heaters and our idea to have affogatos at an espresso cart (which was SO good). The dinner at our reception turned out so amazingly delicious, we’ve been getting compliments from all of the guests ever since. We HIGHLY recommend Blue Heron, our wedding wouldn’t have been so awesome without them!!"
