Called them for a quote for my rehearsal dinner. The person who answered was incredibly rude and essentially told me off for bothering him. I have never been so insulted in my life. I will NOT be using Monrose.

The food was so great, our guests are still talking about it two months after the wedding! I wish I had more photos to share!

Monrose is led by a capable, complimentary duo. Richard Chesterfield will make you feel at home and well taken care of, and will share a great story or memory, while Donna can take a vision and execute flawlessly. She is a pro's pro... She is direct, clear and a quick problem solver. The food reflects their strengths - classy without being pretentious, well presented, but above all else, fresh and delicious! We got numerous compliments from start to finish. The simplest things were done perfectly - chicken moist, veggies grilled beautifully, fantastic fresh bread! Our dessert table was a work of art. Ask Donna for suggestions, and take them, she knows better than you do. Each employee seemed to be an experienced pro. And in the end, a darn good value (especially for LA)! We had a ton of very good vendors for our event, but Monrose was the best, period.

Donna and her team catered our 100 person wedding back in October. We read hundreds of reviews about caters all around this region and ultimately decided to go with Monrose, and we are so, so grateful we did. As others have said in the reviews, this lady and her team absolutely kill it the day of. I'll start off with telling about the stuff you hire her for - the food, service and price. The food was absolutely fantastic and all of her staff were kind, courteous and efficient. The Chef Carved Tri-Tip was delicious, and the warm chocolate chip cookie with an ice cold milk shot was a perfect way to end the night. The pricing was honestly a steal compared to other caterers and the quality food you get. Every one we talked to raved about the food, including the couple vegan dishes she made special for our friends. In regards to what you hire her for, you will not be disappointed in the least because her and her team are absolutely amazing at what they do. What the real surprise was and bes... Read moret part about her were all the extra things she does to make sure you and your loved ones are taken care of that day. Donna felt like the ultimate wedding mom that was there to make sure everything went smoothly. She stood with my dad and I before the ceremony holding my train and talking to me to calm my nerves. When it was time, she walked with us (train in hand to avoid getting dirty) to the beginning of the long aisle and situated my train one last time to make sure it looked great. She was taking care of things that other vendors should have been doing - or even our coordinator. We had one instance where our rental company brought the wrong table for the desserts (they brought a sitting bench that was less than 2 feet tall). I think Donna saw the disappointment on my face when she told me what they had brought because (somehow, without me even knowing) Donna got the right table there before anyone noticed. Then, when a pipe burst the water went out and the restrooms were out of order during part of cocktail hour, Donna was there reaching out to the venue to get the water back on. She took care of so many details and her response was always "don't worry, it's taken care of". Mind you, those were the things we noticed. I can't imagine how much more she took care of without us knowing. She checked in on us a few times during dinner to make sure we had time to eat amongst all the chaos. Honestly, I could go on and on about how much I adore Donna and her team. I will, without a doubt, recommend Monrose Catering to anyone looking for an exceptional event caterer.

I highly recommend Monrose for any event!!! We were blown away by the quality/care/delicious food they provided for our wedding. Donna made the entire process easy and stress-free. From initial contact to the tasting to the wedding—Donna and her team were incredible! She helped me put together the perfect menu for my event. The food she suggested was AMAZING! I have since had countless guests tell my husband and I how much they especially loved the food! Monrose even worked with our florist and wedding cake baker to ensure we have a seamless, well-put together event! And, at the end of the night, they left the venue cleaner than it was when they came!! I can't thank them enough for the personal, easy, reasonably priced, customer-centered experience they provided for us!

Monrose did our wedding catering and we cannot recommend them enough! They were flexible on the menu, transparent with the pricing and the FOOD!! Yum. :) The food was delicious, fresh and flavorful. The quality of the service was fantastic and Donna is phenomenal. She runs the show! I could relax and enjoy my wedding day thanks to her seamless hard work. They are an outstanding catering company and we will happily work with them again!

We did a destination wedding in Malibu. From the moment we contacted Monrose we knew we were in the best of hands. Our guests are still talking about the food!!!

Monrose Catering was professional, accommodating, and absolutely a dream to work with! Donna and her team did our 20th Anniversary party, and it was beyond anything we could have expected. Now, I am looking for every excuse to throw a party, just to have Donna and her team back! The planning was a breeze. Donna listened to what we wanted, and had the most incredible suggestions. And...when my florist messed my center pieces up, Donna helped save the day by arranging my store-bought flowers. The food and service were AMAZING, and I am still getting compliments on my caterer. The servers were responsive and accommodating, and Donna stayed on top of every little detail. I didn't have to worry about a single thing. The passed hors d'oeuvres were plentiful and delicious, and the food stations were out-of-this-world fantastic! Everything was fresh, hot, flavorful, and creative. It was wonderful for me to just show up and be a guest at my own party. I truly credit Donna for making ... Read morethe party a smashing success! Thank you so much Donna!!!

You will not be disappointed in selecting Monrose Catering, they are the BEST! The staff at Monrose is most professional. The bar tender, the chef, the serving staff all were pleasant and had smiles on their faces all of the time. The food was excellent and was delicious. The presentations of the various foods were beautifully arranged. Our guests have not stopped calling to compliment us on the food. I have used Monrose Catering in the past, they have been consistent ly outstanding in their preparation of the dishes. I would heartily recommend them.

Donna and Richard and their amazing staff made my son's wedding absolutely perfect. The food was excellent, the service stellar and they anticipated wants and needs we hadn't thought of to make the most memorable day. They are truly the BEST! We love Monrose.

Donna and her team made our wedding at the Malibu Phoenix truly memorable from start to finish. They made my family (and us, the bride and groom) feel like VIPs and were on top of everything throughout the night. They let us use some of their supplies for our dessert table and throughout the event, even though our desserts were provided via a bakery, which saved us money on rentals. The guests raved about the food and service all night. We also hired Monrose bartenders to serve the alcohol we purchased ourselves and they too were top notch (and fun!). I should also note that from a budget standpoint, Monrose was very competetive, especially for LA!

If you are having your wedding at the Adamson House in Malibu then this is the catering company to hire! They know the venue like the back of their hand and everything worked together perfectly! As the mother of the bride, I never had to worry about a thing. Our guests raved about the appetizers and the dinner menu. Everything was served at the same time and was beautifully presented. The serving staff was professional and friendly and Donna was a pro at making everything come together. Since our son-in-law is from the UK, it was a perfect match, as the owner and chef are also from the UK. I would highly recommend this catering company!! Thank you Monrose for a memorable, over the top, wonderful wedding reception!

When it came time to select a caterer for our wedding in Malibu, Monrose was one of a select few places recommended to us by our venue. After a few phone calls, and some reviews of their food offerings, my husband arranged for a tasting with Donna. The tasting was setup based on what our preferred selections were for the wedding, and we used that to narrow down what we wanted. All of the passed hors d'oeuvres were so good, it was very difficult to pick just 4 or 5. We also had a very multicultural crowd at our wedding, and Donna was very flexible in adjusting some of the selections to align with our families' tastes. Our entree selections included filet mignon, sea bass, and chicken, all of which received positive response from our guests. Same goes for the cocktail hour and dessert spread. The pudding cups were a hit!

We used Monrose for our wedding at Saddlerock Ranch. They were spectacular. I have to mention for the prospective brides... Do not fret if you feel that the email or phone communication is lacking. They know what they are doing, so just don't worry too much. I was unsure at first, but from the very beginning- at our tasting, Donna was knowledgable, honest, helpful and great! She offered good suggestions and was very accommodating. We were able to change the menu to our preferences. Everything that we tasted at the tasting was amazing, and it may have been my rose tinted glasses, but I think it was even better the day of the wedding. Donna and her team were so on top of it, 100% of the time. Donna went above and beyond and helped ensure everything ran smoothly. From the folding of the napkins, to helping direct guests, and setting up our dessert table, she did it all perfectly. The appetizers were amazing, and entrees served hot, perfectly cooked and tasty. The service, and the barte... Read morenders were top-notch and our guests kept telling us how good the food and service were. The pricing is also great. We contacted a lot of caterers in the Malibu, Westlake area and having a wedding there is not cheap, but I was able to pick the venue of my dreams because we were able to save a little bit of money with the catering. I would 100% recommend this caterer 10/10 times. :)
