My husband and I hired Carte Blanche at the recommendation of our wedding planner to cater our wedding reception at Camp Lane in early August. From the very first conversation we had with Mark we knew we had made the right choice. Before we had even booked him, he took the time to chat with both of us on the phone to discuss our vision for the event and our food preferences. I loved that we were able to create a totally custom menu, and I also loved that Mark was so helpful with suggestions and recommendations, ultimately creating the perfect menu for us. Another highlight for us was the tasting. Mark and his chef prepared an amazing array of appetizers and entrees for us to try, and even sent us home with boxes upon boxes of leftovers. In the several months leading up to our wedding Mark was very easy to get ahold of by either phone or email, and always responded to our questions very promptly. He was also so patient and accommodating when we requested to add rentals and extra beverage items to our order at the very last minute. When it came to our actual wedding day, Mark and his team absolutely knocked it out of the park in every way. They set up a BEAUTIFUL charcuterie display that many of our guests referred to as a work of art, and our friends and family are still telling us how much they enjoyed all the food. They also made sure that my husband and I were well taken care of. Before the buffet officially opened one of Mark's staff members made us each a plate and brought it straight to us at our table. Having heard stories from other brides about how they didn't even get a chance to eat at their own wedding I really appreciated this personal touch. Aside from serving up absolutely wonderful food, they were so professional. As the bride, I didn't have to worry about a thing and actually got to enjoy my own event. I would absolutely hire Carte Blanche to cater future events, and I highly suggest you do the same! read more

Mark, the owner of Carte Blanche, and his crew were professional, capable, and exceeded our expectations for the catering of our wedding. He managed challenges of doing a wedding at a private home, and the eventual risk of rain, with competence and made us feel worry free on our wedding day. The food - we offered the salmon entree, and had several appetizers - was outstanding, some people told us it was the best salmon they'd ever had ... and these are picky Oregonians used to getting a top quality and fresh Chinook. Mark and his crew grilled the salmon practically table-side and the food was incredibly fresh, and well prepared. If you need a caterer for an important event like a wedding, I would highly recommend Mark and the Carte Blanche crew. -Leah Lorincz Eugene, OR read more

I can recommend Carte Blanch without reservation. I have attended two events which they catered (a large summer organizational barbecue and a modest-size in-home memorial brunch). So when I chose them to cater my retirement party, I wasn't disappointed. Mark worked with me and the venue I chose. I had 65 guests and used an assortment of 4 different appetizers along with a huge meat and cheese assortment. The guests all commented on how great the food was. Our server, John, was also terrific. The great food and great service helped make my event memorable and worry-free. (Plus, they box up all the leftovers for you to take home!) If you choose this caterer, you will have a wonderful experience with memorable food! read more

We used Carte Blanche for our wedding at a venue that required the caterers to come out and set up a remote kitchen. Everything turned out amazing! Delicious food that everyone loved, excellent service and Mark was very easy to get ahold of and easy to work with. The servers, the bartenders, the chefs, were all amazing. Another awesome thing about Carte Blanche is that they will rent everything for you: tables, linens, dishes, the whole works! I have not found any other caterer in Eugene that will do that! We planned our own wedding and working with Carte Blanche made it extremely easy. They also let us supply our own alcohol and our own dessert. Everything was exactly as we wanted it to be. 5 stars? 5 million stars! read more

Mark and Carte Blanche caterer our daughter's wedding a few weeks ago. We enjoyed delicious food (offered a variety of options from the menu), excellent service and bar staff. Our guests complimented the food, the service, and the friendliness of the staff. Mark was very responsive to questions since we as parent's of the bride were out-of-town and did not have a chance to meet in person until the wedding day. He was insightful with the flow of the reception at Mt. Pisgah Arboretum. He also helped us with the table service, too. The linens and colored napkins, pretty plates, glassware, silverware were a great compliment to the bride's chose of centerpieces. Great job Mark and staff! read more

Mark did my daughter's wedding on 9/8/2018. From the first phone call to the tasting, to the day of the wedding, everything was perfect. We had strong communication and fun collaboration on the menu. The day of the event they arrived on time and ready to help. I was running a little behind and they stepped in and took care of setting out the centerpieces for me. All with a smile, every person on his staff was wonderful and sweet. Our guests were raving about the food (it was all amazing) and the compliments are still coming in. I would use Mark and his team again without hesitation. I know without a doubt, we make the right choice with Carte Blanche. read more

Mark and his team were amazing caterers! I had them cater my wedding, and they did a fabulous job! Not only were they on top of everything, but they were personable as well! They made sure people were happy, asked if they needed anything, and even helped me cut my wedding cake ( They could tell I had no clue what I was doing). They had a great variety for my guest, and everyone ranted and raved about he delicious the food was! If you want the best caterer in town, Mark and his team are where its at! I refer Carte Blanche to all the upcoming brides because I know they WONT be disappointed! The display of food, and the taste of food is to outstanding! read more

Inquired about an event and they said they were available and we should set up a call to finalize order. A week goes by, caterer doesn't show up for the call and shortly after suddenly remembers they already had an event scheduled that day and couldn't do our event anymore (cancelled on us a week before our event). As a professional catering (or any) business how does it take you a week to figure out you're double booked when you already confirmed you were available? Now our event is a week out and we don't have a caterer. Sounds like a bigger more profitable order came in and they cancelled on the little guy last minute (my opinion). read more

We recently had Mark cater a large party in our home. He and his crew were fabulous. They were professional, efficient, timely, friendly, and left everything immaculate. I found Mark very helpful in the planning stages of the event, and very responsive, helpful, and understanding of my questions and lack of experience in this area. The food was delicious, and all our guests were very complimentary of both the food and the service. I would recommend Carte Blanche to anyone needing a caterer without any hesitation. The whole thing was a very pleasant and easy experience and I was able to enjoy my own party with no worries! read more

Wonderful dinner experience had by all! Mark put together a wonderful menu and sent a top notch crew to our house: Chef Alex, bartender and server Mel and server Heather provided a wonderful evening from the signature cocktail down to the last detail of serving. Each course was nicely presented and described by Chef Alex(appetizer-Smoked Salmon Blinis, salad-Marinated beet & green apple with Mesclun greens, Horseradish-crusted seared Tuna, Pork Tenderloin Medallions and wonderful sides). Paired with the perfect wines that had been suggested it was a delight from beginning to end. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! read more

Mark and crew catered my daughters Sweet 16 Masquerade Ball and I am so glad we chose Carte Blanche for this most special event. He knew exactly what appetizers would please the crowd and the mocktail bar options were over the moon awesome - not an easy task for a party ranging in age from 14 - 87! The servers were exceptional and several family and friends commented not only on how spectacular the food was but also the friendliness of the staff. I wouldn't have changed a single thing. I highly recommend Mark. Five stars for quality of food and drink, quality of service, and quality of professionalism. read more

Mark and his team were professional from start to finish. From taking time to sit down with my mother and me a few weeks before a planned memorial service in the busy summer season to taking care of every little detail so that we didn't have to worry, Carte Blanche ranks among some of the best I've seen. His staff was polite and professional, the food was fresh and well prepared, and the service was beautifully presented. And, they even found their way around my kitchen to put away the left-overs neatly in my service dishes. I recommend them highly. read more

We've used Carte Blache Caterers for dozens of corporate events. Mark and his staff have been so accommodating with special dietary needs and any request we've thrown their way (even with short notice). The high quality of food and service was consistent with a small group of 8 people to larger groups of 30+. There isn't anything on the menu we wouldn't order again. The Mediterranean Falafel Bar and the Penne Pasta Bar were big hits! I highly recommend Carte Blanche and we will definitely use them for all future events and meetings. read more

We couldn't be happier with the amazing spread Mark and his crew prepared for our daughter's wedding at Loloma Lodge this past weekend, which included perfectly done wild salmon on the grill. Once they arrived Mark assured me that there was nothing to do but go enjoy the celebration and I was truly able to do that. We were in excellent hands! The presentation and their service added elegance to our woodsy wedding and wowed our guests with the specialness of the setting and wedding feast. Cheers Mark and thanks again! read more

Mark and his crew could not have done more to make our special day perfect. From our very first meeting, Mark was calm and reassuring, and really listened to us. We were going for an elegant atmosphere of a sit down dinner in a natural setting. We got exactly what we wanted and more! Amazing food, great service -- all our guests are still telling us what a great time they had at our wedding. Another plus was how well he coordinated with the other vendors involved, alleviating much of my stress! read more

Mark and his crew have provided our office of 24 peeps with EXCEPTIONAL quality and service every MONDAY morning. How GOOD is it?!? Let's just say I have dancing and smiling emojis from staff every Monday sent to me through Slack. Also, quotes like "This breakfast is on point!" ad etc.GREAT price point, amazing set up and service. BAR NONE, Carte Blanche are the BEST CATERERS in EUG. STAFF craves and eats any leftovers through the week. I can't say enough to show our satisfaction. :) read more

What an epicurean delight! We had a chance to sample the hors d'oerves and desserts to choose from before our event. Everything was so good, it was difficult to narrow down our choices, but what we did choose all was a big hit with our guests and ourselves. Mark was a pleasure to work with and made our evening worry-free. His serving staff was professional and pleasant. All in all, a wonderful experience and one we will revisit with Mark next time we need catering! read more

Carte Blanche Caterers is phenomenal! We have received numerous comments about how wonderful the food was for SGP's 1st annual Flannel Ball. The entire crew Mark, Kari, Heather, and all the folks that assisted in the set up for our event were professional and very kind. Thank you for providing all that we needed from the food to the napkins to make our event a success! We will be contacting you soon to discuss next years' SGP Flannel Ball. read more
