From intimate weddings to large scale, corporate productions, our team of experienced event professionals can help you plan any type of event. Our job is to ensure the success of your event.

What We Do

We play with our food. So, no matter what we create for you, it will be presented with style and a bit of whimsy.

Whether your event is a formal seated wedding feast or a casual cocktail reception, we love crafting custom experiences for our clients and their guests. Multi-cultural wedding? No problem. Weeklong conference with meals throughout? Piece of cake. Reception for 5,000 people? What, that’s all you’ve got?

At 49 Square, we love it when our clients challenge us to create something new and unique. And it’s not just about the food. Our stunning visuals and custom fabricated displays will delight your guests and frequently offer interactive components.

We’ll create the perfect environment for your celebration or event. If you need a venue, we’ll help you find one. If you have a venue, we’ll help you decorate it. We can help you with entertainment, florals, photography, lighting and A/V, tenting and interactive themes. We can provide as much assistance as you need.

  • A MAGICAL EVENT

    Wedding Ceremony and Reception

    49 Square Catering made my wedding day a magical event! I had the pleasure to work with Kim and she is wonderful! I am very lucky to have worked with them on my wedding and I strongly believe if you hire them you will feel as happy and lucky as I do.

  • An Incredible Team

    Multi Day Developer Conference

    You will absolutely not go wrong with 49 Square! Mark, Elaine, and their incredible team executed an exceptional food & beverage program for #1500 attendees at at the Innovation Hangar. This one-day F&B program had a lot of moving parts . We certainly kept them busy, and they delivered on everything!

  • OUTSTANDING AND ORIGINAL

    40th Anniversary Celebration

    They were creative and flexible in putting the menu together. The food and drink were outstanding and original, and well suited to the famous Bay Area food culture without being yuppyish… Our guests, varied in age and background, raved about the food.

  • THE BEST WEDDING DECISION WE MADE

    Wedding Ceremony and Reception

    Hiring 49 Square Catering was one of the best wedding decisions we made. It has been a little over three weeks since our wedding and family and friends are still calling us to talk about how amazing the food was. I did not have a wedding planner so it was great having Kim there for me…she was like my bride whisperer.
