“Rich Water Oysters was an incredible addition to our event. Antonette is a pro from start to finish - clear and prompt communication, beautiful service & presentation, delicious oysters. She arrived with everything she needed which I really appreciated! Our guests are still raving about the oysters. Can’t wait to hire Rich Water again!”
“Applause. Applause. Applause. Rich Water Oysters is the epitome of fresh delicacy. Antonette delivered a presentation of oysters and shrimp paired with a perfect selection of sauces and accoutrement. It is with great intention that Rich Water Oysters will join us in many future events!”
“Our communication and overall experience with Antonette during the beginning stages of planning were seamless. Her energy is infectious, and professionalism she exemplifies is beyond measure. We will look for any opportunity to include Antonette in our future events big and small.”
“We were thrilled when Rich Water Oysters was available to cater our wedding. When we first spoke with Antonette she made us feel comfortable, excited, and like we had built an immediate trust with her. When the Bride loves oysters, and the Groom’s not a fan... of course there will be oysters at their wedding! We had a 70 person wedding in Big Sur and Antonette knew we may have some oyster enthusiastic guests and others apprehensive, and she gave everyone the most welcoming, knowledgeable, and engaging experience. I think she may have changed hearts and minds that day. We had some guests telling us they had over 30 oysters! And others saying they tried it for the first time and liked them because Antonette showed them what to do! It was perfect. Not only was her product delicious, but her presentation and professionalism was 5 star!! My only wish is that I lived in Monterey to work with her again. Hopefully someday! If you’re looking for oysters for your next event large or small, I highly recommend Rich Water Oysters.”
“I love Rich Water Oysters and Antonette! Her service and flexibility are standout, and most professionally and beautifully presented. Elegantly served and delivered - the oysters and sauces are the best I have ever eaten!”
“We had a lovely experience working with Antonette and Rich Water Oysters. I reached out to multiple mobile oyster caterers for my husband’s birthday and Rich Water definitely provided me with the most comprehensive experience in terms of response time, understanding our needs, clear quote process and follow-up. I went with Antonette ultimately because she gave me the most confidence in the process. More than that, I would highly recommend Rich Water to others because the set-up was stunning, the oysters were delicate and delicious, and Antonette was a master shucker. All night long, our guests gave us multiple compliments on the oyster bar, but also on how wonderful Antonette was to chat with and how great the oysters and shrimp were. 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, highly recommend!”
“Antonette is the best! From our initial planning conversation, it was obvious that she is a true professional. We were excited to add an oyster bar to our wedding cocktail hour, and our guests have not stopped talking about it. Antonette went the extra mile to get oysters sourced from the Puget Sound, which are our favorites! That extra effort was so appreciated, and really made us feel special. If you are considering having oysters at your wedding or event, look no further than Rich Water Oysters. Thank you, Antonette!!”
“Antonette Kortie is the best! We hired Rich Water Oysters for our semi annual ugly sweater party and she crushed it. She shucked 300 oysters for our guests and they loved it! Many of our guests enjoyed chatting with Antonette and learning about her craft. I’d highly recommend her!! Hoping to use her again for the next party in 2025.”
“Antonette - what a lovely party! Everyone raved about you and your oysters! We will definitely be throwing another party with you in the new year!”
“I didn’t realize how much people loved oysters until I hired Rich Water Oysters for my husband’s birthday party. Our guests absolutely devoured them! Antonette was just wonderful, and she provided an excellent service! If you’re looking for a special addition to your party, look no further!”
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Rich Water Oysters for my daughter’s 30th birthday celebration in San Francisco, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I connected with Antonette, I felt at ease. Her knowledge, kindness, professionalism, and thoughtfulness truly made this event special.
Planning a surprise party from the East Coast could have been challenging, but Antonette made it effortless. The oysters were incredibly fresh and a big hit among all the guests. Antonette shucked the oysters herself, and the presentation was beautiful.
I highly recommend Rich Water Oysters if you’re looking for exceptional catering. Thank you, Antonette, for helping make my daughter’s milestone birthday a great success!”
