My wife and I used Grapeseed Catering for our wedding in March 2014. Robert (owner and head chef)…read moreis a top notch event planner and head chef! Grapeseed took care of everything from start to finish! Everything was perfect on taste testing, planning, day of the wedding, clean up, billing, and follow up. We had the salmon and steak as our main course... and many of the guests thought the salmon was tasty and cooked perfectly! We had a special request to serve Molly Moon's ice cream and Robert didn't have a problem to fulfill our request! You can't go wrong w this catering company. The service is just wonderful and I am sure Robert will try to exceed your expectation! 5 stars for great food and awesome service!

We hired Grapeseed Catering to cater our wedding in June of 2014. Robert's menu was really good and…read morethe fact he uses locally sourced meat and produce was compelling. On the night of the tasting, we were able to taste and adjust all the items on the menu. Our dinner included beef tenderloin and salmon and Robert also provided appetizers and drinks for our wedding. On the day of the wedding I was really amazed at how smooth it all went. The beef tenderloin was a perfect medium rare all through the night. I made sure to take time and enjoy the wonderful delicious food and was blown away at the fact that although it was buffet, the food quality was exactly like the tasting. I received so many positive reviews by many of the guests at the wedding, that this was much better than typical wedding food. Robert and crew made sure that the drinks were stocked, food was hot and the cake was served. I would highly recommend Grapeseed Catering to anyone. Their level of consistency throughout the dinner service was amazing. the first tray and last tray of salmon was cooked the same - moist and delicious. The beef tenderloin always had medium rare pieces available. There was ample food for guests to go back for seconds. It was one of the highlights of the wedding!

Ravishing Radish Catering has been used for some of the events I've attended as part of Woodland…read morePark Zoo's Network for Nature member. The food and drinks are always the talk of the town, er, the event whenever Ravishing Radish Catering has catered. The variety of food is always solid, as there's enough for people to choose from, no matter their dietary restrictions. At one event, they served different flatbreads, fresh fruit, artisan cheeses, nuts, etc. It's finder food, which is easy to eat, especially when attending an event and walking around to mingle. Plus, the staff is constantly refilling plates, so there's never an empty one. I especially love too that for the events, they make a cocktail, themed to the event where proceeds go to the animal fund we're supporting at the event! Amazing. I would recommend Ravishing Radish Catering for your event, as they say, the food is what makes the party. The selection of fresh foods, themed cocktails, and friendly catering staff will make for a great event.

I went to a tasting down in Seattle last night to see if we wanted to pursue Ravishing Radish as…read moreour Catering Vendor for our October Wedding up in Snohomish. When I walked in every host was friendly and greeted me warmly. The space they chose to host their tasting was large and spacious, minimally yet tastefully decorated. The staff were absolutely impressive. They were kind yet subtle. You barely noticed them shifting in and out to clear dishes or serve additional food. I was also impressed with just how organized and attention to detail they were. Barely any plates were left behind from the event even though people were randomly leaving them in awkward places. As far as the office staff is concerned they were just as exceptional. I was truly impressed with their work and they color coded our names to match who we had been corresponding with, which I just thought was beyond brilliant. I've had the pleasure to work with Annalee, and she took time to answer questions even in a room full of other guest. She really made me feel 1:1 with her. LETS TALK FOOD!!! I know that's what you're here for!!! As you saw from the photos the buffet was beautiful displayed and the style they chose was perfect for doing a double sided buffet to get everyone through quickly. The hors d'oeuvres- I reallllllly loved the apricot & prosciutto canapé! I wanted to eat (5) of them!!! They kept going quickly as well! Tad small in size, it's truly a bite size taste. As far as the salmon fouetté.... not my thing. It had a strong salmon flavor. I did however enjoy the corn cake! Now that I was truly impressed with! It was just as corn cake should be! The salad- Not over dresses, but this particular salad was a touch sweet. However that is the nature of the style salad and I absolutely it. The lemon Orzo- personally I was not a fan of this. The taste was fine and the pasta seemed to be cooked well. However I don't always care for lemon, which could just be my personal preference. The mediterranean Mezzé - very traditional. Presented absolutely beautifully. Everything was very yummy from what I got to try. The Local Seasonal Vegetable- delightful! For winter it can always be hard to get local vegetables and have a combo that works. But these were done very nicely. It was a combination of beets, carrots,& red peppers. All of which were cooked nicely. The carrots to me were crunchier then I was expecting, yet I enjoyed the contracts. The Mediterranean Inspired Chicken- this was intriguing to say the least. The first time I tried it I didn't know if I liked it or not. The chicken however was nicely done. When I went to try it again I did enjoy it, so maybe it was because I was trying so many different things? Again, the second time I tried it, the chicken was done very well. Not bad for buffet style! Seriously! It wasn't done well, not chewy or inedible. This was a big thing for me as I HATE buffet chicken usually due to how dry it can be. This was not that! The mashed potatoes- YUM YUM YUM!!!!!! I said if these arnt good then we can't go with them because I NEED mashed potatoes at my wedding..... damn they were good. They also went the fasted. I couldn't ever get a good shot of them! So in the spirt to showing you how good they are, the photo speaks for itself. Now For my biggest dish and the whole reason I went (plus the mash) The Braised Oregon Country Short Ribs in a Malbec reduction.......... Wow Wow WOW!!! This was so delicious. I'm drooling as I write this part. The meat was tender and falling apart. The sauce was reduced just right and there was enough but not to much. It covered a lot of the meat. This really set my decision in stone. It was very very good. I wanted a dish at my wedding that people wouldn't forget and I don't this they will forget this I'm the best way possible! I'm originally from Pennsylvania and we are a meat and potatoes type of wedding (with very dry chicken and way to many homemade cookies) When my guest come, I want them to be impressed with the food they flew 3,000 miles to eat. I think this will hit the mark!!! Excited to proceed with the process and hopefully make these Ravishing Radish our catering company!

A Platinum made us feel like family. We interviewed several different caterers and Emily with A…read morePlatinum was the only one who made us feel like they were thinking about us instead of our wallets. Any request we made was met with "Of course we can do that" and as we waited for her to tell us what extra fee we had to pay, we kept waiting. She made us feel like they priced their food accordingly and wanted to accommodate us. And their food was excellent! We went with the plated option: steak, salmon, veggie pasta. I went around the wedding trying everyone's food and honestly wanted to keep eating--the steak was tender and a beautiful medium rare. The salmon was flaky with the right balance between savory and sweet. The pasta was bright and flavorful. For how much food we got and the quality of food we received, we were very satisfied. The serving staff was polite, attentive, and ON TIME. Our guests were served promptly and no one was left hungry by the end of the night. We HIGHLY recommend A Platinum to any couple who wants a caterer who cares.

The offerings and overall themed experience she and the FOODZ staff (Chef Shawn, Max, Jason, Helen and More) produced was simply spectacular! All of the stuff were positive, upbeat, and very friendly! Their team work was impressive to watch unfold. My colleagues were so impressed, we have already rebooked them for another event! If you have a theme or idea for an event (large or small), FOODZ can help you achieve event excellence! I would never go to another caterer in the Seattle area.

I just got off the phone with my cousin who attended my wedding 2 weeks ago and the first thing she…read moreabsolutely had to tell me was that the food at my wedding was amazing. I'm not certain how most people feel about weddings but my husband and I were strong believers that the food HAD to be great. Having been to many weddings ourselves, we recall the overall quality of the food and service being a hot topic days, weeks, even months after people's weddings. Wanting the gossip to be good, we were so relieved that Foodz came through for us. And I knew they would because all of our interactions leading up to the wedding were wonderful. Here's how things came to be... Our venue had a list of "preferred vendors". Technically speaking this actually means "vendors you must use or you can't get married here." And though I'm sure there are ways (ahem, money) to get around that - we were thrilled that our venue had a long, long list of vendors for us to choose from. That says a lot about the venue because they have great working relationships with many catering companies and hey, at the very least having that list to work with made the hunt for a company a lot easier. The list already included a number of caterers we were interested in, too. Including Foodz! Upon just looking at websites and online menus and pricing alone, Foodz was a top contender. But it's fair to be picky and to do your research. Aside from ticking the right boxes (affordable, good menu, etc) Foodz did something else that won us over. In our initial outreach to 4 or 5 companies Foodz was THE ONLY COMPANY that allowed us a tasting before we put down a deposit and they were THE ONLY COMPANY to ask us about ourselves and our 'vision' before the wedding. This was incredible because other conversations with their competitors were rude and quite frankly, presumptive. In one conversation with another company the very first question the caterers posed was: "Here's our pricing, can you afford us?" Umm, wow. What a huge turn off. In another conversation with yet a different company we were told, "You can get a tasting with us once you put down 15% of the total cost of the catering quote." For those of you not good at math, that's over a $2200 for a wedding with 150 guests. And I understand wanting to lock down payment but what if we didn't like the food? We'd be out literally thousands of dollars. This just really irked me and made me question the quality of the food if they had to secure orders by forcing people to pay up. Then we heard back from Foodz and the email was cheery and polite. We were invited for a tasting -FREE, though we'd have gladly paid an appropriate amount. During this time we met with the owner and most importantly, the head chef. We had over an hour to enjoy lunch they made for us, to talk about themes, styles of food we like, and to customize our menu. Now you can't really just order anything you want, but they were extremely flexible with us regarding making small swaps for this salad or that one or this ingredient or that, etc. It was remarkable - A 180 from the other caterers we'd talked to. Another thing? In our first conversation we were asked, "So tell us about yourselves. How did you meet? What are your wedding colors, what are your favorite foods?" Again - a massively different and more genuine approach. I was so impressed with these interactions. Our search was over! Not to mention that our quote for catering for a 180 person wedding was easily 5% less than a few other companies and in some cases more like 20% less. They were a great deal all around. Payment came in the form of three installments over the course of about 4 months. It was super reasonable and easy to pay this way. We paid a deposit, then another payment, and then a final payment. Each payment came out to be about 1/3 of the bill each time. The day of the wedding I had a coordinator helping with logistics. I felt so spoiled because as an event planner myself, I have never sat back and allowed for my own party to be executed without my own hands. But on this day I got to sit back and watch the details unfold. Everything Foodz did was flawless! I got feedback that the staff was polite, easy to work with, quick to serve food and easy to set up/break down with. Other vendors remarked how professional they were and all the behind-the-scenes stuff got an A+ report relayed back to me. And then dinner itself was INCREDIBLE; the portions were huge! People were able to totally gorge themselves and go nuts. We did family-style for the guests and everyone was served expediently. More than just my cousin, many people have commented that they loved the food. PHEW! Lastly, I just wanted to make a note that the Foodz staff found a quick moment to congratulate us, say hi, and get some face time with us before the wedding ended. It was great because we were constantly being whisked in separate directions and they found time to wish us well. LOVED THEM!

Outstanding Catering Experience - Highly Recommend!…read more Gelsey and the Lovely Night team were absolutely outstanding caterers for our 50-person wedding! From start to finish, they made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Communication & Transparency: From the beginning, Gelsey and her team were incredibly communicative, responsive, and easy to work with. What really stood out was their transparency about pricing--they never tried to upsell us on anything. In fact, they actually advised us NOT to do certain services through them because we had more affordable options available. This kind of honesty is so rare with wedding vendors and made us trust them completely. Planning & Flexibility: We had so much fun at our tasting, and they made excellent recommendations for seasonal dishes that would appeal to all our guests, including those with dietary restrictions. They were also incredibly flexible--they even added a super last-minute coffee and tea service for not much more than it would have cost us to orchestrate ourselves, which was a huge hit with our slightly more mature crowd who wanted to make it to the after party! Day-of Service: On our wedding day, the entire staff was warm, thoughtful, and kind. We were handed champagne the second we appeared! Staff members carefully noticed when we needed little curated dishes off to the side so we could actually enjoy our amazing food despite all the guests wanting to monopolize our time. This attention to detail was incredible. The Food: The oysters were a splurge that was COMPLETELY worth it--our guests absolutely loved them! We had three different types with all the possible accompaniments, and they were fresh and delicious--a real PNW treat. The other big hit was the cheesy mushroom puffs--at least 10 different guests specifically commented on how much they loved them! Overall Value: The value we got for the level of service, quality of food, and overall experience was incredible. I would definitely book with Lovely Night again and recommend them to everyone I know. If you want a catering team that genuinely cares about your experience and delivers exceptional food and service, look no further! Thank you, Gelsey and team, for making our wedding so special!
