We love to play a role in our client's celebrations! Intimate dinner parties, bachelorette dinners, birthdays, retreats and vacations, holiday parties, fundraisers, client appreciation events, or just because! Once we gather the details, we'll share how we bring your vision to life.

“We had a great experience working with Katie Orlady and Come Over Kitchen. ”
We didn’t know of a caterer in the Tahoe area, so we took the advice of a friend. The event was a Celebration of Life for about 100 people. The request for heavy appetizers, servers, linens, plates, silver, etc. etc. Basically everything except beer and wine, which we would purchase and they would serve. When Katie and I spoke, I pretty much told her “I want it nice, and I don’t want to run out of anything.” “What could she do, and how much would it cost? My first impression of Katie was of her confidence, friendliness, and passion for what she did. Again, I didn’t have ideas or suggestions really, I just asked her to “do what she did best”. She got back to me immediately with a price and a plan. Both sounded great, so we booked the event. She followed up right away with a breakdown of every food, staff, and equipment item and cost. The quote was exactly what we eventually wrote the check for. No surprises, no added anything.
"The staff was prompt, professional and courteous, the presentations were beyond beautiful, and the food was the best part!"
Sooo many compliments! A favorite of everyone’s, in addition to all of the passed hors d’oeuvres, was what she called the “grazing station”. I can best describe it as a table of food about 2 feet deep and 10-12 feet long of charcuterie board. Maybe a couple hundred different gourmet fruits, nuts, meats, cheeses, crackers, spreads, breads, jams, olives, etc. etc. So beautifully presented and arranged. Across from the grazing station was an equally as impressive arrangement of bite size desserts. I can not speak highly enough about Katie and Come Over Kitchen. They truly took all of our worries away with their confidence and experience, and let us focus entirely on our guests. We will absolutely use them again! Thank you again Katie. Feel free to include my contact information as a reference.
"Come Over Kitchen is my go to catering in the Bay Area."
I have worked with Katie for several of my private events from large cookouts, holiday baked good platters, and charcuterie tables. I am impressed by her high standards, hospitality, professionalism, and attention to detail. She makes the process incredibly smooth from start to finish and her food is absolutely delicious. It’s not boring catering food, every dish dazzles. Katie’s food has been the highlight of my events and I would host anything without her. I enthusiastically recommend Come Over Kitchen to all friends and colleagues looking for catering or private chef services. You will not be disappointed.
