Private Event Catering in San Francisco
Fork & Spoon produces full-service private event catering in San Francisco and the Bay Area – intimate dinners, celebrations, and custom productions with chef-driven menus and calm execution.
Full-service catering for celebrations that feel personal
Fork & Spoon produces private event catering across San Francisco and the Bay Area – birthdays, celebrations, intimate dinners, and custom gatherings at homes and preferred venues.
What does private event catering include?
Custom menus, staffing as needed, setup, service, and clean-up, plus coordination with your venue or residence so you can stay with your guests.
How far in advance should I book private event catering in San Francisco?
Most private programs book 3-6 weeks out; larger celebrations benefit from more lead time. Shorter timelines are possible when kitchen and staff capacity allow.
Drop-off vs full-service – which should I choose?
Drop-off works for simpler gatherings. Full-service staffing is better when you want plated or buffet service, bar support, and hands-off production. We help you choose based on guest count, venue rules, and the feel you want.
Explore venues we know well via the venues hub, see corporate catering or wedding catering, or request a private event proposal.

Naomi and JD Commitment Ceremony
summer |
We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks for making our Commitment Ceremony at the China Cabin so special. The food was delicious, and the hot chocolate was an absolute hit with our guests—it was such a cozy and thoughtful touch!
We were also so impressed by the excellent service and the elegant rentals you provided. Everything came together beautifully, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate our day.
Thank you once again for all your hard work in making our special day so memorable. We’re incredibly grateful for your efforts and for the wonderful experience!
Jenna & Ed Wedding (with their dog Cassie)
summer | 2025
We got married at the Art and Garden Center in Tiburon in August, and Fork and Spoon helped make the day a huge success. We had an amazing experience working with Anna, Anthony, and Sarah. On the day of the event, Anthony and Sarah were outstanding. Naturally, there’s some nervousness on such a big day, but Anthony kept everyone calm, organized, and on track, while Sarah ensured everything was executed flawlessly. The food was perfect, and the entire event ran smoothly, but what truly stood out was the team’s reassurance and confidence, which allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our special day.
