Thank you for considering North Valley Catering. At this time we would like to introduce ourselves to you and tell you a little about our vision and personal histories. North Valley Catering is locally owned and operated.

      Our Executive Chef, Christian Russell, is a highly acclaimed chef with a vast knowledge of many different types of cuisine. Chef Russell graduated from the Culinary Institute of America, New York with honors and many awards. After working for a few years on the east coast he decided to work abroad in Japan. He has also instructed students at the Culinary Institute of America, Napa Campus. After a few years at the CIA, he started working at Bay Leaf Restaurant in Napa, CA. While working there Chef Russell and his team were invited to cook at the James Beard House, New York. To a chef this is a great honor. Throughout his years as a chef he has shown his clients that food is a true passion and that for him cooking is not just a trade, it is an art.

      Our Catering Manager, Samantha Bann, has worked for many years as a front of the house manager. Samantha has also graduated from the Culinary Institute of America, New York. Samantha is able to combine her two obsessions and passions: food and events. Samantha has worked in Los Angeles for many four star hotels and resorts and has also worked for one of the most esteemed wedding and event planners in Southern California. Samantha has a great knowledge of planning events and designing menus as well as an extensive understanding of food and wine. She has two goals: Customer service and an overall wonderful experience for each client from the planning to the implementation of each event as if it were her own.

      North Valley Catering understands that every client and their event is special. Consider our menus a basic representation of what we can offer, but we would prefer to personally custom design your menu to tailor your unique event making it an occasion to remember.
