“Natalie is probably one of the calmest professionals I know. Since beginning her foray into the culinary world, all I can say is wow. She has the poise and warmth of someone you would want to hire. The attention to detail is amazing and her ability to conduct an event is flawless. Natalie’s food, presentation and execution are superb. Natalie is also very easy to work with and you would want to hire her again”.

“Natalie catered and organized a wedding celebration party for our daughter and her husband at a lovely property in Napa. We had 150 guests, with a couple of hours of drinks and Natalie's fabulous hors d'oeuvres set up in a pretty grassy area and then moved to another area for an outside sit down dinner.

She is a great chef - we only wish we could have the whole meal again! Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. All of our friends and the kids friends thought the food was outstanding. Her wait staff was cheerful and friendly and she herself was beaming at our friends throughout the whole event. She took care of all the rentals including linens, pointed us to a good florist, hired the wait staff, arranged for a valet parking set up and supervised everything being delivered the day before the party. And of course did all the food too! Everything went perfectly and we enthusiastically recommend her.

“La Saison catered my son and daughter-in-law to be engagement party for 100-plus guests. Natalie Niksa is absolutely wonderful to work with and she was careful to stay within my budget. We planned a fabulous menu that accommodated several special diets and Natalie designed all of the table decorations, which were seasonal and beautiful. Her use of organic, fresh, local ingredients made for a scrumptious presentation that my guests still comment on almost a year later. I will definitely use her again”.

"Natalie and her husband Jon have provided us with the most elegant, professional and delicious private dining experiences we've ever had.
Hosting two New Year's Eve dinners for a dozen friends, Natalie worked with us to create personalized and distinctly different menus. The food quality, presentation and execution were amazing - a difficult feat in the culinary wonderland that is the Napa Valley. We still look back on those evenings and smile. The next time we host a special event, Natalie will be our first call."

“Natalie has been one of the most enjoyable caterers I've had the pleasure to work with. Her food, presentation, demeanor and professionalism are always a welcome at my parties. My guests love Natalie as well”.
–Shay & Dan, Napa

“I have used Natalie's services several times for different types of events ranging from private lunches and dinners for both small and larger groups. Everything that Natalie conducts, arranges and coordinates, whether it be simple al freso or elaborate parties is seamless. Her menus are creative and the food is nothing short of outstanding. A real bonus is the pleasant personality and calmness that are such good assets for a chef. I once hired her to give my husband a cooking lesson for his birthday, and she could not have done a better job of teaching him and preparing a memorable dinner for us. I have the highest regard for Natalie of La Saison and highly recommend her services”.
–Carol, Great Olive Tours

“After experiencing some of La Saison’s creative cuisine at the winery, I decided to have them cater an event at my home. We discussed the menu possibilities, the wines that I wanted to serve and the overall theme of the event. I was confident in my expectations that La Saison would create nothing less than perfection. And it happened as expected--The food was fabulous, made with the finest ingredients, perfectly paired with the wines, the presentation was beautiful and the service was impeccable!”
