Very accommodating

Verbena was amazing to work with! We had A LOT of dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, egg-free, banana-free, avocado-free... etc You get the picture 😅) and yet we were able to accommodate everyone. They were super nice and offered suggestions to us which was amazing! Somehow on our wedding day our dessert stands went missing (as things tend to do on wedding days lol) and yet they were able to make a beautiful table of desserts for us. They were in constant communication with us and everything was just very easy and smooth with them. Highly recommend ☺️.

Delicious Wedding Thanks to Verbena

Verbena did an amazing job catering for us. My husband Jeff and I are both vegan (and work in the animal protection space), and it was important to us to have a fully vegan menu at our wedding. They never made us feel guilty about it (which was ... not the case with everyone we talked to!), and focused instead on making delicious food that the non-vegans in our family thoroughly enjoyed!

For canapés, we had grilled peach bruschetta on focaccia crostini, Impossible sliders, and spinach artichoke tartlets. For our dinner buffet, we did vegetable lasagna and shepard's pie for the mains, plus cilantro and lime roasted corn, roasted balsamic green beans, and za'atar roasted potatoes for sides. And then ... 100 amazing mini pies (peach, key lime, apple and pecan)!

Everything tasted absolutely amazing (people raved, and it opened some eyes to the fact that "vegan" food doesn't need to be boring or scary or whatever ... who doesn't love pasta and pie?!) and it was such a pleasure to work with E and Emma. They were so kind and welcoming during our tasting, and communication was smooth throughout.

We also rented vintage plates, cloth napkins, water goblets, and silverware from them, and thought the dining room looked absolutely beautiful.

Cannot thank the whole team enough!

The food was amazing! Guests were really impressed!

Verbena was amazing! After our first tasting we were so torn on what to serve because everything we tried was delicious! After finally deciding on the items, the food at the ceremony was a HIT!!! We have received so much feedback from so many guests praising all the elements - hors d'oeuvres (chicken-waffles, meatball sliders, grazing table), the main course (brisket, grilled chicken, green beans, veggies, mac n cheese), and the deserts (too many to name!). Thanks again to Emma and Eistir - I highly recommend considering them for catering your wedding!

I had the pleasure of working with Emma of Verbena Cakes and Catering on a recent photo shoot. I can't tell you enough how wonderful she was work with! Her cake was absolutely gorgeous (and delicious) and her willingness to go above and beyond was amazing. She was an absolute pleasure to meet and we thoroughly enjoyed working with her!
