Five Course Provision was outstanding to work with beginning to end. We had a last minute event for an intimate dinner and Chef John and his team executed it perfectly. I gave them our event details and the vision we were looking for and they provided a personalized menu for our guests. The communication was consistent and they were very professional throughout the process. Chef John did an amazing job crafting the menu and the flavors. Our main guest said it was one of the best meals he's had in a long time! I highly recommend anyone who's looking for either a small gathering or large event to book with Five Course Provision. I would gladly book again for future events.

Chef John and Chef Eric are so talented when it comes to food! The food is incredible - everything is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. They are friendly, professional, and always available for any questions. As a wedding planner, I can't recommend Five Course Provision highly enough. They truly go above and beyond to make sure that your event is a success, and I will definitely be recommending them to my future clients. Diana D.

Chef John and his amazing staff at Five Course Provision custom catered our wedding in Carmel Valley and it was amazing. Everything was perfect from the appetizers to the main course and through the desserts. We couldn’t have been happier with Chef John’s creations. He truly listened to what we wanted and made extraordinary custom dishes for us and our guests. The Five Course Provision staff were prompt, courteous and efficient helping set up, serve and clean up for the event. I give my highest recommendations.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Chef John and Diana for our wedding. From start to finish, they were incredibly easy to work with and really took the time to listen to our story, creating a tailored menu that beautifully reflected our different backgrounds. Their creativity shone through in every dish, and their entire team went above and beyond to make our day special. We heard endless comments about how great the meal was from all our guests. We're so grateful for all they did and how it all turned out.

Chef John is outstanding in every way. He worked closely with us to create a menu that reflected our personal tastes while staying within our budget. His culinary range spans a wide variety of cuisines, and every single dish we tried, whether at our tasting or on the wedding day, was consistently delicious. Chef John’s depth of flavor, creativity, flexibility, and professionalism could easily qualify him to teach a master class. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. If we had to choose one type of food to eat for the rest of our lives together, we’d choose Chef John’s every time. Seriously, if Chef John is an option for your wedding or event, don’t think twice. You won’t be disappointed.
