Specialties
California Fresh Catering & Events is a chef driven, full service catering company with a focus on creating extraordinary events with a dynamic presentation that your guests will talk about for years to come. Our event professionals can help you plan every aspect of your next event from party rentals to site design to day of the event coordination.
Our company was founded in 2006 by Chef Jim Douglas with the idea that a catering company should do more than simply feed a group of people, but that the experience should be as dramatic and exciting as the very best restaurant experience. With that in mind California Fresh is happy to bring the restaurant to your next event! Fresh bold flavors, dynamic presentations and much of the food is prepared fresh, on site, minutes before you dine or in many cases before your eyes.
We thrive on working with you to plan and execute your event and pride ourselves on designing your menu to fit any budget or vision. Let us show you some of the many ways we can make your event unique from our Adventurous Chef Boutiques to our Interactive Buffets to our Couture Appetizers. We routinely elevate what could be an ordinary experience to extraordinary.

Business Owner
Chef Jim Douglas brings to your event an extraordinary culinary resume. He has a true passion for real food and global cuisine. Jim started his career as the chef owner of a successful restaurant in the Berkshire of Massachusetts and in turn added a famous banquet house, a historic inn and many popular vacation resorts in New England to his apron.
Feeling the draw to the west coast, Jim headed to California, where he took a position working for the celebrated Wolfgang Puck as Executive Chef at the Wolfgang Puck Café in Newport Beach.
In May of 2006 Jim traveled to Siena, Italy to cook as a Global Chef and immerse himself in Italian Cuisine and Culture. Upon returning to California worked with popular Chef Mai Pham of Lemon Grass Restaurant in Sacramento, CA.
In 2006 Jim started California Fresh Catering with the dream of creating extraordinary events with truly exceptional food!
