Feast for a King is based in Aptos, California — right at the geographic center of one of the most beautiful event corridors on the West Coast.
To our north, the South Bay and Silicon Valley. To our south, the Monterey Peninsula. To our west, the Pacific. All around us, some of the most fertile farmland in the world. We’ve been catering events across this region since 1996. Here’s a guide to the areas we serve and what makes catering along the Santa Cruz and Monterey corridor so special.
Santa Cruz County: our home
Santa Cruz County
Aptos and Capitola
Our home base. We know every event venue, every loading dock, and every local road in this area. Whether you’re hosting a backyard gathering in Aptos or a wedding at a Capitola venue, this is where our operational knowledge is deepest. If you’re planning an event here, you’re getting a home team advantage.
Santa Cruz City and Westside
From historic Downtown Santa Cruz venues to the beaches and bluffs on the Westside, we’ve catered every kind of event the city offers. The local food culture here is deeply oriented toward sustainability and seasonal ingredients — our approach resonates naturally with that community.
Scotts Valley and the Santa Cruz Mountains
Mountain venues offer a completely different atmosphere — forested, cool, intimate. Redwood-canopy wedding venues in the Santa Cruz mountains are particularly stunning, and the rustic, farm-to-table aesthetic we bring fits beautifully with that natural setting.
Monterey Peninsula and Carmel Valley
Monterey Peninsula & Carmel Valley
Monterey and Pacific Grove
The Monterey Bay area offers some of the most stunning event venues on the California coast — waterfront properties, historic downtown buildings, and oceanfront estates. Our catering brings local Monterey Bay ingredients to events here: coastal seafood, Central Coast produce, and seasonal dishes that reflect the region’s extraordinary natural bounty.
Carmel-by-the-Sea and Carmel Valley
Carmel’s wine country setting and boutique event venues attract couples and organizations looking for intimate, elevated experiences. Farm to table catering is a natural match — the Carmel Valley AVA produces excellent wines, and the surrounding region grows extraordinary produce. We work with venues throughout this area for both weddings and private events.
Pebble Beach and the Peninsula
Event catering at resort properties and private estates along the Pebble Beach coastline calls for precision and polish. Our experience at high-profile events across the Central Coast means we’re equipped to deliver at any level of formality the venue requires.
South Bay Area and Silicon Valley
South Bay Area & Silicon Valley
San Jose, Los Gatos, and Campbell
Our reach into the South Bay Area covers San Jose, Los Gatos, Campbell, Saratoga, and surrounding communities. Corporate catering and private social events are both strong here — tech companies hosting team events, families planning celebrations, and couples marrying at South Bay venues all look to us for farm-to-table catering that reflects the region’s values around quality and sustainability.
Saratoga and Los Altos Hills
The hillside communities above Silicon Valley attract private estate events and intimate celebrations that call for discreet, polished catering. We work regularly in these communities for weddings, milestone celebrations, and private dinners.
What our local knowledge means for your event
We’re not driving in from San Francisco navigating unfamiliar territory. We’re local. We know the venues, we know the roads, we know the regulations, and we know the farms we’re sourcing from.
That local knowledge reduces friction at every stage — from site scouting to load-in on event day. And it means the ingredients we’re cooking with came from nearby, which is always evident in the quality of the final plate.
Whether you’re planning a farm to table wedding in Santa Cruz, a corporate event in the South Bay, or a private celebration anywhere along the corridor, we’d love to talk about what we can bring to your table.
