A reputation for exceptional quality

Catering Connection is chef-owned and operated by founder Ursula O’Neill. Ursula has built her company on the key values of integrity, honesty and hard work. These principles, combined with the level of personalized service extended to her clients, have secured a loyal following for Catering Connection, and a sterling reputation in the Santa Barbara area.

Ursula’s culinary career began in Ireland and London, where she worked the gamut from Pastry Chef to Chef de Cuisine.

From small gatherings of 10 to gala dinners of thousands, all of our events have a common thread: the overwhelming satisfaction of our clients.
