We provide catering service at many of the nicer venues in our service area, including Riverside Art Museum, Temeku Hills Ballroom, Chaffey College Chino Community Center, California Citrus State Historic Park, Planes of Fame Air Museum. We have experience with many specialty locations in our area, and of course cater at private estates, businesses and private homes.

We love everything about weddings! From talking with and getting to know the happy couple, to helping them fine-​tune their vision, to making sure everything goes off without a hitch. Some of the fun ideas we are seeing over the last year or so are late-​night snack stations, sophisticated comfort food, elegance in simplicity, Itlaand «sweet goodnight» coffee and sweets to go for departing guests.

History

Established in 1996.

As You Like It provides chef-​inspired catering for all events. As You Like It started out in Corona as a small lunch-​time café. Gradually, as the catering end of the business grew, and more event services were added, the owners (with encouragement from staff members) decided it was time to close the café.

So the owners and staff let their customers know, papered up the windows, and got busy remodeling. A few days later, the café dining room was gone, replaced with a new office and meeting area for clients.

The commercial kitchen got some sprucing up at the same time, and equipment — both mobile and stationary — has been added steadily over the years as the menus and services have expanded.

Many staff members at As You Like It have been there for several years, some from day one, and share in the success of the business. Their talent, enthusiasm and dedication have made As You Like It Catering a truly special event company!
