SBB Gourmet Catering was pleased to provide food catering at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum’s holiday fundraiser in December 2009.   The event’s theme was “Remember The Magic” instilling the wonder and joy of the holiday season to all attendees young and old with yuletide carolers, a bit of snow and a visit from Father Christmas.

We provided the Museum’s guests with a dinner consisting of our Santa Barbara Pear Salad followed by a main course of Bistro Medallion of Beef and four cheese ravioli.  Dessert was chocolate cups with a seasonal treat of “Believe Berries”.   The dance floor filled quickly following dinner with the wonder of the season continuing to be felt throughout the evening. The Museum and event organizers truly put on an evening of magic to remember and we are proud that we were included.

We sincerely appreciate and thank Cori Arnold of the Museum staff for her comment about our food and service:  “SBB Gourmet Catering went beyond exceeding my expectations!  Sidney Adams-Raney and Bia Pessoa are highly organized and efficient and brought along a service crew that carries the same of professionalism.  The Santa Barbara Historical Museum staff and Board of Trustees have not stopped raving about the presentation and flavor of the cuisine.  We cannot say enough about what a pleasure it is to have worked with them as a caterer and anxiously await our next event together!”

We are excited about working with the Museum again too.   It is one of the great institutions of Santa Barbara and we feel honored to be one of their premier caterers.   Some of our photos from the “Remember The Magic” event are posted in a gallery below.  You can also find an expanded set of event photos taken by Amore Dolce Photography.  Amore Dolce did a fantastic job of capturing the beauty and energy and magic of the event.

Thank you again Santa Barbara Historical Museum for giving Santa Barbara Gourmet Catering the honor of catering your holiday fundraiser event!!!

A very warm and friendly welcome to you, and a word of thanks for visiting the SBB Gourmet Catering weblog.

Our weblog was created with the primary purpose of providing useful information that will be helpful to our potential and current clients in planning their special event in Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara County, Ventura County, the Santa Ynez Valley and our beautiful surrounding areas including all of our local wineries and museums. A lot of businesses create blogs to advertise themselves and their services. We do a bit of that here, but we are of the opinion that you will be better served by us if you find the weblog to be informative and factual, and not filled up with a bunch of advertising hype. You can find out about the specifics of our services and success of our catering elsewhere at our company’s website at www.sbbgcg.com as well as checking out the testimonials page on that website. Our past clients and business partners are our best advertisers.

In our weblog we will:
• profile event locations and their unique offerings
• post interviews with vendors like floral artists, photographers, musicians and DJ’s
• provide photographs of venues and various event setups including rentals
• list event planners and post interviews with them too
• post some of our favorite and seasonal recipes

We provide food and beverage catering and event management services to hundreds of events each year ranging from small intimate dinners at homes to corporate events of 2,500-plus guests to beautiful and unforgettable weddings of 50-400-plus guests. We have been doing this for over eight years and have established an intimate knowledge of the contract services in Santa Barbara and its surrounding areas. We hope to share this with you in our weblog. It is our hope that the information provided will serve you and relieve you of some of the angst and worry associated with event planning.

Thank you for visiting us. Please contact us directly if you have any questions or would like to discuss booking an event. We look forward to serving you in any we can.

Best wishes from all of us at SBB Gourmet Catering!

Sidney Adams-Raney, Owner
