Fusion Events 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Starts at $30
  • Serves Palm Desert, CA

I founded Fusion Events to answer a call that I heard. It was that feeling that I could found a business that would push boundaries and allow me to deliver what my clients wanted. Food and Events that are Fresh, Bold, and Memorable.

“I found Fusion Events LA while searching for wedding vendors because I wanted catering that our guests would actually remember—not just typical wedding food. After reading so many great reviews, I called Felicia, and from our first conversation I knew I wanted to work with her. She was so welcoming, organized, and genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. When our original venue fell through, Felicia stepped in with her day-of coordination services, and I couldn’t be more grateful. On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly. I DIY’d a lot of our décor, and her team set everything up beautifully, exactly how I had envisioned it. The food was absolutely phenomenal, and our guests are still talking about it! From catering to coordination, bartending, servers, and décor setup, Fusion Events LA truly does it all. I can’t thank Felicia and her team enough for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of. I highly recommend them!”

    “First of all my Husband and I wanted our guests to be comfortable and enjoy good food and vibes and Rachel and Phyllis made that happen. They offered great food choices to which we went with food stations... my Aunt is still talking about the mac and cheese station. We tasted quite a few and you can not go wrong with any of them. My Husband is a trained chef and he was so excited about how good everything was. I mean, delicious. In honor of my Dad they also created a ice cream sandwhich station, letting me pick all the choices I wanted. I am so grateful. We got married at The California Botanical Garden in Claremont. We chose our ceremony at the California court yard and our reception at the Lewis family forest pavilion. It was perfect. Rachel and Phyllis let us walk the venue as often as needed/wanted. They worked beautifully with our vendors and our family and friends who were helping with some set up. The whole time Rachel helped me, even when she did not need to. All the way to the point that she held up the back of my dress as we were leaving so it did not get dirty. It ended up raining on my wedding night and the team got all of us covered and my guest were able to sit and be dry and enjoy all the food stations. Miracle workers. In planning they were excellent too, all the colors and different ideas of plates, napkins, etc. They helped me plan it out so well. Thank you Rachel and Phyllis, anyone would be in good hands with you two and your team.”

    “A Dream Wedding Brought to Life Through Sushi Artistry We cannot thank Mr. Fresh Sushi Catering enough for the unforgettable culinary experience they provided at our wedding! From our very first tasting to the final roll served on our big day, their team was professional, passionate, and beyond talented. Our wedding took place at the Adamson House in Malibu, and the setting was already beautiful—but Mr. Fresh brought it to the next level with a stunning sushi and appetizer spread that completely wowed our guests. We chose a stationary appetizer format to allow for a relaxed, social vibe, and it worked perfectly. The sushi was incredibly fresh, artfully presented, and bursting with flavor. Guests are still raving about the spicy tuna poke cones, the live sushi station, and the yakitori skewers that were grilled to perfection. Even our friends who aren't huge sushi lovers went back for seconds (and thirds). The presentation was elegant and fit seamlessly with our theme—modern, clean, and full of coastal charm. The Mr. Fresh team worked closely with us to customize the menu and made sure every dietary preference was considered. Their professionalism, creativity, and care truly made our wedding feel unique and personal. If you're considering a sushi-forward catering option for your event—look no further.

It was a challenge that I will never regret accepting. It was fun, a lot of fun! I had the opportunity to work with some really talented and creative chefs. I quickly learned that it’s not just about having fresh fish anymore. Sushi dining has transformed into a culture. A culture built by imagination and creativity.
