pricing
La Dolce Vita does not offer set menus with pricing as we source seasonal and local food, that is constantly changing.
It is important to begin with a budget and have an idea of what clients are looking for. Like food style and any guest allergies or restrictions! We are happy to work with any budget. La Dolce enjoys cooking for intimate gatherings and large weddings with everything in between.
At La Dolce Vita, we take the time to nourish our client relationships, to truly get to know you and your tastes. It is so important to create a menu that lends to each event, so we create the perfect experience for each guest.
We are committed to supporting local farmers, locally and throughout California which not only provides you with the freshest organic produce, but you're also contributing to These hard-working families. Fresh food just tastes better. We wouldn’t cook any other way.

"THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!" We cannot be happier with our experience"
"We had our wedding in Buellton, CA on August 7, 2021. Ashley, the head chef and owner of La Dolce Catering was our number one choice as our caterer for our big day. And after our wedding, the number one thing we hear is, "the wedding was so beautiful... AND THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!" We cannot be happier with our experience with Ashley and her staff --from start to finish! Ashley is so easy to talk to, and an instant friend! She follows through with her commitment to all of your requests. She is patient, sincere, and a phenomenal cook!!! She made specialty beignets that were a huge hit! The pasta was mouth watering! The paella we had was served with fresh local seafood which included halibut that was caught by her Uncle Danny! Incredible! The charcuterie plate was beautifully presented, fresh and PERFECT. Our cake was set out and ready to go on the number. We cannot say enough about how professional, organized, thoughtful, thorough, kind and sincere Ashely and her entire staff are. Ashley went above and beyond to make sure, not only the catering, but the entire evening was perfect. We cannot thank you enough, Ashley and La Dolce Catering, for helping make our wedding celebration an absolute dream come true!"
" Outstanding is the only word I can use to describe Chef Ashley"
"Outstanding is the only word I can use to describe Chef Ashley and her amazing catering company Dolce. We contacted her for our wedding and she went through everything step by step, extreme attention to detail and the food was perfection. Guests are still talking about it! Everything was organic, seasonal and farm to table. I wish Chef Ashley lived near me , I would have her cook for me daily ! If you are planning an event , wedding , party in the Santa Barbara area you MUST contact her. Highly, highly recommend."
"Working with Ashley was absolutely amazing in every way. She was so wonderful to coordinate with to curate the perfect menu"
"Working with Ashley was absolutely amazing in every way. She was so wonderful to coordinate with to curate the perfect menu for all of our guests and work around allergies and dietary restrictions. She was hyper vigilant and professional the entire time. Plus, her food was OUTSTANDING. It was of the highest quality ingredients and the preparation was something out of a Michelin star restaurant. I cannot thank Ashley and her team enough for such a memorable event. I feel so lucky to have found her services and will be working with her again. I highly recommend her."
