Pacific Harvest Events is a premiere boutique catering company serving the California Central Coast from Paso Robles to Santa Barbara. Launched in San Luis Obispo by Chef Seth White in 2005, Pacific Harvest has built a reputation for using fresh local fare to create flavorful meals and memorable events. Their energetic staff caters parties for 20 to 400 guests that regularly include elegant wine country weddings, corporate retreats, appetizer parties, and rustic barbecues.

Seth’s approach to cuisine has been called “fresh and modern” as he constantly strives to craft creative menus that fit the taste and vision of his clients while incorporating local produce at its seasonal peak. His culinary experience started long before he launched Pacific Harvest. Seth worked his way up through the kitchens of upscale restaurants in Northern California starting at the age of 14.

In 2008, Seth and his wife Dawn took two culinary trips to Europe—traveling and tasting their way through Portugal, Switzerland, France, and Greece. While in Portugal’s prestigious Douro Valley wine country, Seth worked with top chefs at the hip D.O.C. restaurant which is changing the way Portuguese cuisine is viewed around the world. Dawn White is an event coordinator—helping clients and brides plan and execute their perfect day. Her experience in catering and hospitality dates back more than a decade.

Paul Gorton joined Pacific Harvest as Sous Chef in 2008 but has been a lifelong friend and chef alongside Seth in many restaurants. His culinary resume includes heading the kitchens of upscale restaurants in Portland, Oregon and most recently as head chef of the Three Fires Marriot in downtown Sacramento
