Bi-Rite Catering

Bi rite does an amazing job catering. They have the entire process down to a quick and convenient science. I’ve used their service twice for work events and am always so excited — for their yummy food and all around stellar customer service! I’m always amazed by their menu options too — so much deliciousness to choose from.

I used Bi-​Rite catering for the first time last week for a small charity event, to deliver platters — wonderful presentation, delicious and an unexpected discount for charities! They’ve just become my «Go To» caterer!

I love Bi-​Rite. They did a great job at our wedding, but they were pricey.
The food is about 25% of the total bill. Rentals are another 25%. Labor is around 30%. As another reviewer said, the price jumped up on us too. It went up 10%, two weeks before the event. In the end we ended up paying around $ 150/​person.
That being said, they did a *great* job at the wedding. The food was great and the staff was polite and attentive. All our guests really loved the food, and we thought Bi-​Rite reflected our values very well: simple, delicious, wholesome.

If you love great beautiful organic food that is locally sourced, then this is the catering Company for you! Honestly I am particular about what food I offer up for my friends and family and I highly recommend BiRite for catering your celebrations and office parties and when you have company coming and you just want to enjoy.
Don’t forget the wines! Great prices and some really yummy ones.
You won’t be sorry! You will be full of yumminess and your guests will think you are awesome!

So so pleased with every aspect of BIRite catering for our recent wedding. We had 135 guests at the Community Center in Stinson Beach and i really enjoyed working with Gail Nipitnorasate and Michael Aldridge so much i swear i’m a little sad i have no more reason to email them. I seriously want Gail to run my whole life, she is that good. They organized all the apps, bar, main courses, and the Creamery made the world’s best wedding cake. It was all so so delicious and well suited for the scale of the event. It is such a pleasure to work with such pros. They handled all the rental equipment: tables, chairs, linens, plates etc etc. And they were extremely available and responsive to produce updated bids, respond to questions, make food suggestions. I bet Gail could have found me a groom if i needed one. Trust me, you want your caterer to be this full service, it is SUCH a load off your mind.

I was hosting a rooftop event about 20 people. I didn’t want the hassle of preparing food so I reached out to Bi-​Rite. I have used them in the past for corporate catering.
The process was super easy. I sent an email with the event details, and they responded quickly with a proposed menu based on the theme, and number of people.
The day of the event, the food was delivered right on time, with everything I needed including label cards with ingredient information.
They really are pros and take the hard work out of hosting parties!

Great for Corporate Catering!
I use Bi-​Rite Catering for my office lunches and they are always on time. Although, you have to place your order 48 hours in advance, the delivery is ALWAYS on time! Food and variety is great, nice packaging so you can just take off the tops and serve, and the service is always prompt!
Would definitely recommend for all types of events!

Bi-​Rite Catering provided the food for my small 20 guest wedding today. I couldn’t believe how good the food was, the very reasonable prices, and how beautifully everything was plated and delivered. Delivery was on time, set up on the designated table, and was absolutely delicious! Kayla was a pleasure to work with, very accommodating with all of my menu changes and adjustments, and gave me great suggestions. I called to place my order on Monday, and received 2 confirmations, one Monday and one on Thursday. Everyone commented on how good the food was, and my planner said the delivery people were great. I highly recommend Bi-​Rite to anyone wanting really delicious food at a really great price.

Bi-​Rite did a great job catering my 150-​person conference. They were friendly, accommodating, and professional from start to finish. My coordinator was Gail and my onsite lead was Lisa; both of them made everything incredibly easy. The on-​site crew was a dream and went out of their way to check in with me and be helpful. And the food was delicious and healthy! Highly recommend.

This review is only for wedding catering.
When I called BiRite Catering on April 2014, they told me that they only accept online catering request form. I had submitted their online catering request form. After many attempt to speak to a person, they told me everything needs to be done via email. I assumed it was because they wanted to track all conversation.
August 2014, 2months before my wedding, Michael called me and told me that BiRite misquoted me about a few thing and price went up significantly. Michael apologized and said he could not do anything about it. It was too late for me to find another caterer.
On my wedding, they brought something different from what I ordered. When I confirmed with Michael he again apologized and said there is nothing he can do about it since the guest has consumed already.
I really hope no other bride has to go through this again.
As for good part, BiRite server and event manager of the day was very nice. The guest has said good things about the food. If it was for something like work events, BiRIte catering may have worked, but not on special occasion.

This review is primarily for Eleanor Gerber-​Siff who was the Florist at Bi-​Rite who crafted our gorgeous wedding centerpieces, boutonnieres and bridal bouquet for our recent wedding. You can see some examples of her work on her Pinterest page:
. Stunning.
Eleanor was very communicative and collaborative and delivered floral arrangements beyond our expectations. In addition to being our colors the flowers were all fresh, locally sourced and seasonal. Eleanor did her very best to keep the arrangements affordable. We highly recommend her work for your events.

MIchael was awesome to work with. He listened to what we wanted and was honest where to cut and where not to to stay in budget and keep it nice. We had a challenging location for our wedding as far as catering goes, and he had good ideas and was creative and flexible. The staff who worked the event was really nice and fun. The food was great! And they sent us to our hotel with a great tote bag full of goodies.

I had an excellent experience working with Casey Carroll of Bi-​Rite catering to plan a toddler birthday party. The menu descriptions were somewhat helpful, but talking to Casey by phone was particularly useful, as Casey provided insights on portion sizes and kids’ favorites. While helping me finalize the order and ensuring that we had enough — but not too much — food, Casey also persuaded me to order less. There is nothing more appreciated than a vendor’s down-​selling a client, rather than persuading a parent to spend more than needed for party food (which is easy to do). On the day of the party, Bi-​Rite delivered the food punctually and speedily, and we got plenty of compliments from both the kids and their appreciative parents (who particularly enjoyed menu items like the).
The parents enjoyed the quinoa salad, soba noodle salad, savory tartlets with porcini mushrooms, endive spears with curried chicken salad, and grilled beef sirloin skewers. The kids enjoyed the the cheese and sauce pizza, chicken fingers, and PB & J finger sandwiches. Everybody enjoyed the mini cupcakes.

Could not have been LESS helpful. The executive level management at my company was having a special event. Since we are located in the city, we figured we would support a local business.
I made an order using the online system.
Two days later, I still had not received a call or email confirmation. I called the catering line directly and it took at least 10 minutes to look up my order. Then, the woman said that the time I requested (8:30am on a Monday) was too early and I need to choose something else to order. I asked for a recommendation since I was not by a computer and do not have the menu. She told me she can not make a recommendation and I should look up the menu and call back.
Needless to say. I didn’t call back and we will go elsewhere. I told management about the terrible service so no one will ever use them again.

Bi-​Rite recently made my event planning team and I look like heroes, so I must tout this recent triumph. We ordered around 25 quarts of all the finest flavors for an ice cream social (we had beer too; ice cream and beer are the long lost cousins of PB & J, betcha didn’t know that). and hot dang it was a good idea. Additionally, in the selfish department: I have never actually been to the creamery. (Tales of the long snaking line have reached my ears). So, having large amounts of many Bi-​Rite ice cream flavors brought to me gave me an opportunity to check out the bandwagon itself.
The delivery was perfectly on time — almost as perfect as the flavor splosion that is honey lavender. I knew I wanted to try it given the unusual flavor, and it was like licking the perfume counter that Aphrodite had recently spilled her new perfume on because she was startled by a honey bee that accidentally dropped a prize honeycomb on. Straight tasty licks.
The catering /​planning process was just as smooth and tasty as the rest of the flavors I managed to try. I was even able to order the scoops necessary to serve this cream mountain — I bought 15 of them. The catering department made this ice cream dream easily attainable, and I highly recommend that you take advantage of the delicious sorcery that is delivery Bi-​Rite ice cream.

We ordered two small cakes 6 inch and 8 inch for our wedding cake. The cake were delicious and the catering department was very efficient. The price of the cake and the delivery charge was reasonable. The service was meticulous. They made sure you reviewed all documents before charging.
I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 because they were not willing to help us stack the cake. They only stack cakes if they cater the event.

I recently used Bi-​Rite Catering for an event my company was hosting. Even though I contacted them with only 24 hours notice, they were more than happy to do their best to assist me! I’ve worked with a lot of catering companies; their customer service was 5 star. They didn’t act as though my order was too small or insignificant, which isn’t the norm.
I’m only giving 4 stars instead of 5 because I didn’t actually taste the food. However, every person in attendance raved about how delicious everything was. The shrimp and flat bread were the first to go.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use Bi-​Rite Catering for another in-​house or client event.

We’ve used Bi-​Rite catering several times for small events. The prices are reasonable for the quality of food.
The items that ALWAYS go like a flash are the skewers. I guarantee your guests will finish the skewers. All of the skewers have tender meat and great sauces. You are getting free-​range chicken, grass-​fed beef, etc. The items that I don’t like much are the focaccia sandwiches. They are more bread than anything else.
Everything is always ready on time for pick-​up or delivered punctually. You can place an order easily over the telephone. The catering folks are very responsive with any issues you may have.

I recently worked with Bi-​Rite to cater a company picnic. They were fantastic. The food was delicious, staff was courteous, and best of all, we came out under-​budget!
My favorites from our order:
1) Focaccia Finger Sandwiches: Grass-​fed Roast Beef & Cheddar Cheese
2) Brie with Fig &Olive Tapenade Mini Acme Baguette Sandwiches
3) Hodo Soy Beanery Tofu and Black Rice Salad with Pea Sprouts, Edamame and a Ginger-​Rice Wine Vinaigrette
4) Golden Beet Salad with Radishes and Chile-​Cilantro Vinaigrette
Because some of these items are seasonal, I gulped down 2 plates of it before the next season…

Bi-​Rite catered my wedding in September and I couldn’t be happier with their work. We did a few tastings when choosing a caterer, and while with other vendors we had a tough choice, for catering, Bi-​Rite was a no-​brainer. Their food was way more delicious than anything else we tried, it was local and sustainable, it was price competitive, and the staff was darling and caring.
I had a fairly good idea of what I wanted for the meal and Bi-​Rite was able to take my vision and amplify it. Instead of choosing from a list of boring options, I was able to design my wedding meal from scratch. The staff had great ideas on what ingredients should be included based on seasonality. We emailed back and forth a lot in the time leading up to the wedding and it seemed like no request went unanswered — from wine and beverage suggestions to the latest update on wild salmon availability.
Food is a really important party of my life and I wanted the meal at my wedding to represent that; Michael and the Bi-​Rite catering team understood this and delivered. The meal was memorable and delicious. I even had one friend who had decided to become a vegetarian right before the wedding indulge in meat for the last time at my wedding because it was so delicious and tempting.
I’m not sure how I ended up with it, but in the wee hours of the morning, I broke into a Bi-​Rite take home bag filled with treats for us newlyweds. It was the perfect foodie ending to an incredible day.
