Wylder Space Catering
Redefining Farm-to-Table in Santa Cruz County — Tailored, Vibrant, and Rooted in Real Food
Looking for Catering That Feels Like You?
You deserve food that’s:
- Sourced from farms you’ll want to visit
- Bold, colorful, and bursting with flavor
- Tailored to your story—not pulled from a preset menu
- Served by a team who genuinely cares about connection
At Wylder Space, this is how we live and cook every day.
We’re Rooted in Real Food, Literally
Our relationships with farmers are friendships we've had for many years:
- Bella Vista Farms for cold-pressed olive oil that’s fragrant, peppery and rich with polyphenols.
- Markegard Grass-Fed Beef for the love of soil health & regenerative farming practices
- Fogline Farm for pastured chickens raised with care & an open door policy we value immensely.
You’ll notice the difference in the way you feel when you eat ingredients grown with intentionality. And we’ll help you share that story with your guests.
Our Style = “Rainbow Cooking”
We don’t do beige. Our food is:
- Bursting with color — think citrus, edible flowers, fresh herbs
- Down-to-earth yet unapologetically bold
- Inspired by Ottolenghi, Jamie Oliver, Barefoot Contessa, and The Minimalist Baker… but uniquely ours
We tailor every menu to:
- Fit your event vibe — cozy backyard dinner, elegant plated wedding, or creative retreat
- Match your guest needs — vegan, gluten-free, nut-free? We have you
- Reflect the season and the local harvest — always fresh, always mindful

Hi Kyle and Molly!
Thank you so much for the e-gift card, very sweet of you guys!
Regarding feedback it was overwhelming positive! I did not have one bad bite of food. I loved the chicken main and shrimp appetizer personally. We also got a ton of good feedback on the beef ribs as well. Also the grazing table, the few pictures I saw of it was totally cleared out. A lot of folks were complimenting on the baked brie and honey. And the other big hit was the late night mini corn dogs. My MOH said she followed the person around with the tray cause they were so good. All and all it was fantastic. I knew it was gonna be great from the tasting, but somehow it was even better day of (which is saying a lot because everything was delicious during the tasting!)
It was truly a pleasure working together! Everything was tasty and everyone was so on top of everything during the process. Not one ball dropped! And we knew we were in good hands :) I have been telling everyone to keep your info for events!
Thank you so much for everything!
