Pure Joy From a Pure Joy Employee

Hi all! My name is Sara and I'm the new office intern for Pure Joy. Though I'm new to the office, I've been waitressing the events for Pure Joy for a couple of years now. I just wanted to take this time to give you a little insight on what its like to be on the wait staff for Pure Joy.

First off, all the supervisors/coordinators are amazing. No matter what type of event it is-wedding, birthday, corporate party, etc.- they put their whole heart into making it as perfect as possible. Having worked at these different events, I've seen first hand how hard the coordinators work to fulfill their client's vision. Whether its making last minute changes that their client wants, or just managing a very detail-oriented event, no one can do it with as much expetise as the coordinators/supervisers at Pure Joy.

Another thing about working for Pure Joy at events is that it doesn't feel like work. I can work a 10 hour shift without looking at the clock once because I'm having such a good time w0rking. It is also very rare to come across a rude or unhappy waiter because the wait staff who show up for an event are there because they want to be.

I hope I've enlightened you a little bit on what it's like to be an employee for Pure Joy. I really couldn't have found a better company to work for.

Until next time,

Sara

It's Wedding Time!

Summer in Santa Barbara means it's wedding time!

We hope you enjoy some of our recent event pictures and be sure to check out our new YouTube video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpeVSr89DTc for an inside look at Pure Joy Catering!

Summer Is Here!

We kicked off the summer with a weekend filled with fabulous events. From the zoo, to the beaches, to the beautiful wine country, Pure Joy Catering was there to ensure that every event was extra special. We are now gearing up for our cocktail party where we will be welcoming two new event planners, Toby and Patrick, to our team. We are looking forward to a wonderful summer season!

new menu items

This is our Ponzu Ahi Tower Salad, it is so yummy and perfect with the local citrus flavor...the bite sized Cocktail Burgers are going to be in the Scene Section of the News Press this Friday. They had their own tini tiny photo shoot! The squares are mini vanilla bean creme brulles on our little new saucers.

Fabulous Wine Country!

Santa Ynez Valley Wine Country is not only gorgeous in the summer & fall, but is the ideal location for a springtime wedding. While the nights get chilly, a simple tent is the perfect solution, and creates such great ambiance. Check out these photos from a wedding we catered at Fess Parker Winery this past weekend.






We had such an amazing event team that included fabulous Coordinator Kerry Lee Dicky, LBPS Lighting & Event Design, Discount Party Rental Tenting and yummy wedding cupcakes by Decadence.
