Patina Catering

Patina Catering is a Los Angeles-based catering company, part of Patina Group, serving weddings, galas, film premieres, sporting championships, and private events of varying sizes. Patina builds seasonally inspired menus using fresh local ingredients, with offerings that include custom menu design, signature libations, and accommodations for kosher, vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary needs. Patina Group was founded in 1989 when Chef Joachim Splichal opened Patina on Melrose Avenue; the group has operated for over 30 years and was named one of the top caterers in North America by BizBash Magazine. The culinary program is led by Jacqueline Kelly, Director of Culinary. Based in downtown Los Angeles, Patina Catering operates at partner venues including Paramount Pictures, Segerstrom Center for the Arts, California Science Center, The Fonda Theatre, The Oviatt, Two Rodeo Drive, and others, with events also documented in Las Vegas. Event planners and hosts cite consistent professionalism, attention to detail, and staff coordination; one client praised the team's custom menu work for a private suckling pig event, while venue professionals note Patina has delivered reliably across weddings, galas, and private dinners.
