Client Reviews

“We had our wedding and reception at Artichoke & Company. We could not have been happier! The food was excellent, the venue was exactly what we wanted and Elle and her team thought of every detail.”

Kristen Perez August 2021

"Riley and her team delivered outstanding service. The food was excellent, with all our guests giving rave reviews for the food, and all of our guests also commented on how professional and considerate the servers were. From the moment the Artichoke and Company team arrived, on time, until they cleaned up and exited, the team made our party a stand-out event. Artichoke and Company exceeded my expectations, it could not have been better! I highly recommend them."

"
We just got married at Shangri-La Springs and used Artichoke & Co. for catering, decor, and planning/coordination. I can’t thank Dara and her team enough for bringing my perfect wedding vision to life. She was always available when I had a question or wanted to meet and made everything so easy. If there was something I wanted, she made it happen. Her attention to detail and wonderful team made the planning process stress free. We have not stopped receiving compliments about how beautiful our day was and how awesome the food was. While I got ready with my bridesmaids and the moms, Dara set up lunch and mimosas for us. We also had a great brunch the day after our wedding at Artichoke & Co. It was a nice place to catch up with guests before they left and the food and entertainment were fantastic. I highly highly recommend Dara and her team if you’re planning a wedding or other event."

"We hired Artichoke & Company for a 75th birthday party. They were fabulous! Arrived right on time, set up the tables and bar and worked hard all night long. The food was wonderful and the service impeccable. I have used them before and will continue to use them in the future. Several of the guests commented on their professionalism. I highly recommend this company for your next event!"
