We worked with Jane Hammond Events for the catering and coordination of our recent wedding in the Napa Valley. We could not be happier with their amazing service, food, staff and professionalism. Our wedding went off without a glitch, and for that we are SO grateful to the team at JHE: Jane herself, Amy our coordinator, Naomi, and the many other wonderful managers, chefs, bartenders and waitstaff that worked our event and during the days and months leading up to it. Heidi is an amazing chef. She and her team work tirelessly to make everything perfect. I have literally never had better food at a wedding than we had at ours! We had a served dinner of salmon or lamb, and both entrees were generous portions of the most delicious, perfectly cooked food! People were raving about the food: from the stunning cheese display, the artistic, yummy passed appetizers at cocktail hour to the delicious salad that awaited each guest as they sat down. On arrival, JHE provided lavender lemonade and iced tea, which was a welcoming gesture to our guests as they arrived pre-ceremony. After the ceremony, the bar tenders were ready with delicious mojitos (our special cocktail), champagne and wine. Passed appetizers were expediently circulated, and the kitchen even brought us (the bride and groom) a special little platter of appetizers to enjoy when we freshened up post-photos. Our coordinator and day of manager, Amy Trapp, was a total rock-star and made everything flow beautifully. She was in charge of the timeline and always warned us when we were needed for the next "duty" (cake cutting, sitting for dinner, etc). Although she was managing a large staff, she seemed calm and in control throughout the day. She was also an absolute pleasure to work with in the time leading up to the big day. In the year of planning our wedding, JHE was always very timely about getting back to us with answers to our questions, and helped us find some of our other wonderful vendors: Dan from Love in the Mix did our DJ and lighting, Svenja from Chestnut and Vine did our floral design and decoration and Andi Hatch was our photographer. Amy also coordinated all of our rentals from the four different rental companies we worked with. She made sure everything was there on time, and set up properly. Our wedding site was a private estate that JHE had never worked at before, but that never stopped them from making everything perfect. They were very obliging in coming to visit the venue for a pre-wedding walk through, as well as the day before for our rehearsal. There were some challenging issues to work with at our venue, but JHE was never phased by these obstacles, and always managed to find us solutions. Jane, the owner of the company, worked with me in the initial planning stages, and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. So easy-going and fun, yet full of good ideas and an artistic eye. Her entire staff really cares about what they do, and you will never feel as if you are being pushed through a wedding-factory. Every event is treated with absolute personal attention, and your guests and family will feel at ease as everything is taken care of in such a seamless fashion. If you are getting married in the bay area, or having any sort of event, make sure you work with the amazing Jane Hammond Events!

I worked primarily with Amy but her and her team were phenomenal. We had a very important private event for a high level audience and a very short time frame. Amy brought great experience to coordinate the project and a vision to help us ensure that we were in good hands; and it could not have been any more true. The JHE team can bring it all when it comes to appetizers or bar/refreshments. No detail was overlooked. I would love to work with JHE again for our next event because I can trust that they will elevate the guest experience through their quality food and elegant service.
