After 35 years in the business of celebration, one thing is crystal clear: taste, joy, and connection can’t be AI-generated — they have to be experienced.

Since 1989, THANK GOODNESS IT’S SOFIA has been creating extraordinary events rooted in bold flavors, beautiful design, and a deep love for hospitality. What started in a humble 1,000-square-foot kitchen in Long Beach has grown into one of Southern California’s most trusted and creative catering and event planning companies, led by the ever-passionate sibling duo, Sofia Riley and George Marinos.

At TGIS, we don’t just serve food — we serve moments guests talk about long after the plates are cleared. Whether it’s a lavish wedding or a corporate soirée, our team brings together inspired cuisine, seamless service, and inventive styling to transform gatherings into memories.
