When you plan weddings, you’re working in three different years. Thankful for a full team that makes that possible. Everyday when we arrive, we see 9 other faces that are each doing their part to make this place thrive.

We learned the first day we opened our catering business that we couldn’t do it alone. Our parents and brother, our grandma, our aunts and our cousins stepped in to help as we found our footing. Close family and friends hired us to start and we worked hard to market our food in the form of gourmet boxed lunches all over the community. Some of our most treasured memories have been within the walls of LA Gourmet 🍐 on our family farm. We were lucky enough to find land close to LA and build what we lovingly call Pear Tree Estate. A place where we can embrace our strong roots 🍐🌳 and do what we do best, host and serve others.

This weekend we celebrate 18 years of LA Gourmet Catering. 18 great years. Soon we will open a new chapel and welcome guests to new suites on property, all while hosting one of the most important days of their lives. (Fun fact, the event we catered 18 years ago this weekend was for our good friends, who then built PTE and now the Chapel)

We have a lot to celebrate because of the people of Pear Tree. The people that helped us from the start, the people that booked us for an event, the people that show up and work here after school and other jobs, the people that work here and we share life with on a daily basis and the people that have supported us in our lives and within the community.

2024. Eleven years of Pear Tree Estate. Eleven really great years.
If you’ve ever been in a team meeting at PTE, you know that we talk about the guest experience A LOT. We talk about making others smile. We talk about sharing in the couple’s joy. We talk about doing our best and what we can do better. We always are striving to perfect our craft.
So this year, we took a few weeks and we updated our beautiful space. We put new light stone on both fireplaces. (Ahh! Sooo good) We rebuilt the bars, added quartz countertops (and we even added bar fridges to serve cold soda in all the cocktails)! We upgraded ALL of our chairs to caned back King Louis Chairs. Last but not least, we gave our cocktail tables a glow up to marble + gold cocktail tables.
…and that’s just on the inside.

When we first built , we were so relieved to have walls, floors and a roof to host wedding days. Prior to opening PTE, we had a catering business for eight years and we catered lovely weddings in tents, barns, venues and homes. We made great memories, worked our tails off with great staff and prayed for good weather. We had so many favorite things about those days, we picked our favorite parts of wedding days and made it into a venue. So when it came to opening a venue of our own, we loaded the place with AC (8 units), installed a ton of windows for natural light (82) and made sure that there were inside and outside options for guest to enjoy themselves. Beautiful day or not, there are so many places within that couples can take photos. For that, we are so thankful. Soon, there will be two buildings; a chapel and a venue (plus the Concorde suites) within our ten acre property. God Is good.

Same couple. Same day. Totally different photos all under the same roof.

Imagine a bridal suite, a grooms suite and a family suite.

We were just little girls when we went to our cousin’s wedding in Minnesota and had the opportunity to stay with all of our family on property. It was such a special weekend for everyone involved. (To no surprise, we still remember the meal served and the details of the day 😍😂)We are so excited about three on property suites 2025.

We love the seasonal, we love the classic, we love the family favorites. That’s really the fun part of wedding receptions…. seeing the couple’s favorite drinks served to all their friends and family. So much to love about weddings. ❤️✨❤️

…imagine a place to get married walking distance from your party.

In 2025, we will open a chapel on the property at Pear Tree Estate. The best of both worlds - a venue with incredible food and service now with an exclusive chapel.

Oh and let’s not forget the three beautiful suites for getting ready.
