The 7 Best Wedding Caterers in Beverly Hills (2026 Guide)
By YK Editorial Team · Published · Updated
Quick answer
The best wedding caterers in Beverly Hills combine a real, named track record at local addresses like Greystone Mansion with transparent pricing, not just a fancy name. KMR Gourmet Catering, LA Paella Catering and Amy's Culinary Adventures top our list on verified reviews and honest local proof. Expect to pay roughly $70 to $150 per person for full-service catering, and budget separately for the $2 million liability insurance many Beverly Hills venues require.

Beverly Hills weddings run on a different rulebook than the rest of LA. Half the best addresses aren't hotels or event venues at all. They're private estates, city-owned landmarks like Greystone Mansion, or backyards on residential streets where a fire marshal can shut down your reception if the permits aren't right. Your caterer has to know that world, not just cook well in it.
We looked at wedding caterers who work Beverly Hills regularly, not just ones who list it as a service area on a directory. Here's what we found, what it costs, and the one city rule that trips up more couples than any vendor ever will.
How we ranked them
We checked every caterer on this list against the same five things: how many verified reviews they have and how recent those reviews are (Yelp, Google, WeddingWire, The Knot), whether they publish real pricing instead of "call us," whether they carry the liability insurance Beverly Hills venues require, and whether they have a real, named track record at Beverly Hills addresses, not just a radius claim on a directory page. We dropped anyone we couldn't verify actually works this specific city.
The 7 best wedding caterers in Beverly Hills
1. KMR Gourmet Catering
Reputation: 4.6 stars and 25-plus years in business, veteran-owned and family-run. Style: Custom plated, family-style or buffet menus built around culinary-degreed chefs, elegant grazing displays and full bar service. Price range: Packages start at $18.99 per person (as of September 2026; ask for a full written quote, since that's an entry-level tier) — KMR Gourmet. Best for: Estate weddings on tight residential streets, like Trousdale or the Flats, where valet coordination and permits matter as much as the menu. Watch out for: The $18.99 figure is a starting price, not a full-service quote. Get every add-on (staffing, rentals, bar) itemized before you sign. Links: website · Instagram · reviews

2. LA Paella Catering
Reputation: 100-plus five-star reviews on Yelp, in business since 2015, headquartered at 150 S El Camino Dr, right in Beverly Hills. Style: Live-cooked Spanish paella stations and jamón carving as an interactive food moment, not a plated sit-down. Price range: Pricing on request; no public per-person rate. Best for: Couples who want one unforgettable, photogenic food station rather than a full multi-course dinner. Watch out for: They're a paella specialist. Most couples pair them with a second caterer or dessert vendor for a complete reception menu. Links: website · Instagram · reviews
3. Amy's Culinary Adventures
Reputation: 102 reviews on Yelp; named Best Caterer in LA on LA's Hotlist five years running. Style: Full-service custom menus with a one-wedding-per-day policy so the kitchen isn't split across events. Price range: Pricing on request. Best for: Couples managing food allergies or dietary restrictions. Reviewers specifically praise how the kitchen handled a fully gluten-free menu for a guest with celiac disease. Watch out for: They're based in Woodland Hills, not Beverly Hills. Confirm any travel or delivery fee for your venue before you book. Links: website · reviews

4. Bite Catering Couture
Reputation: WeddingWire-reviewed, with a documented history at Greystone Mansion, Virginia Robinson Gardens, Temple Emanuel Beverly Hills and Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church. Style: Couture, discreet full-service catering built for private estate weddings. Price range: Pricing on request. Best for: Weddings at Beverly Hills' named landmark venues, where the caterer needs its own track record at that specific address. Watch out for: They work with high-profile clients and keep most client names private. Expect a consultation before you see full pricing, not an instant online quote.

Style: Italian-inspired, fusion tasting menus with live food stations, run by owner Emanuele Ponzo. Price range: Pricing on request; reviewers describe it as one of the pricier options on this list. Best for: Couples who want a chef's-table feel with theatrical, plated presentation. Watch out for: Reviewers flag it as a premium price point.

6. Gathar

Reputation: 4 reviews on Yelp; based in Beverly Hills. Style: Intimate, bespoke private-chef style plated menus. Price range: Pricing on request. Best for: Small, intimate Beverly Hills weddings or elopements where you want a real chef relationship, not a banquet team. Watch out for: The smallest review count on this list.

The catch: Beverly Hills' permit and insurance rules most couples miss
If you're getting married at a landmark like Greystone Mansion, the city runs the guest list on caterers, not just on people. Greystone keeps a list of Frequent Caterers who work there often at no extra charge, and a separate Approved Caterers list that requires a refundable $1,000 deposit. Bring in a caterer who isn't on either list and you'll need separate approval from the venue coordinator before your date is safe (source: City of Beverly Hills Greystone FAQ).
Every event at Greystone also needs $2 million in general liability insurance, with extra liquor liability coverage if you're serving hard alcohol, beer, wine or champagne. And citywide, amplified sound has to stop by 10 p.m., with a Public Assembly Permit required for any gathering of 50 or more guests (source: City of Beverly Hills Special Events). None of the caterers above will handle your venue permit for you. That's on you and your planner, and it's worth confirming before you fall in love with a menu.
What to do now
Book your caterer 9 to 12 months out if you want a landmark venue like Greystone, since caterer approval and permit timelines run in parallel with venue booking, not after it. Ask every caterer on this list for their certificate of insurance before you sign, not after. If your venue has its own approved-vendor list, confirm your pick is on it, or budget for the deposit to add them. And get every quote itemized per person, since "starting at" prices rarely include staffing, rentals or the bar.

Frequently asked questions
How much does wedding catering cost in Beverly Hills?
Entry-level packages start around $19 a person, and full-service plated dinners average $139 a person industry-wide, per Gathar's 2026 pricing and The Knot's 2026 Real Weddings Study. Expect the total to run higher once staffing, rentals and bar service are added to a quote.
Do I need special insurance to cater a wedding in Beverly Hills?
If you're using a landmark city venue like Greystone Mansion, yes. The city requires $2 million in general liability insurance for every event there, plus additional liquor liability coverage if you're serving hard alcohol, beer, wine or champagne.
Can I bring any caterer I want to Greystone Mansion?
Not automatically. Greystone keeps a list of Frequent Caterers who work there often at no extra fee, and a separate Approved Caterers list that requires a refundable $1,000 deposit. Any other licensed caterer needs separate approval from the venue coordinator first.
What time does wedding music have to end in Beverly Hills?
Citywide, amplified sound has to stop by 10 p.m. Any gathering of 50 or more guests also needs a Public Assembly Permit from the city, separate from your venue and catering contracts.
How far in advance should I book a Beverly Hills wedding caterer?
Book 9 to 12 months out, especially for a landmark venue. Caterer approval and city permit timelines run alongside venue booking rather than after it, so leaving it late can limit which caterers you're allowed to use.
