These lovely folks made my Thanksgiving of 2024! Picture it,…read moreBrightwood, Oregon. One stressed out wanna be chef (Me) on the mountain needed a bit of help with a Thanksgiving feast for Kings. Busy Bee Catering swooped in and saved the day with their "Sides-Giving" offerings fit for royalty! Their fluffy mashed potatoes and gravy were divine. Their chicken apple sausage stuffing was a show stopper, as was the relish tray (as big as a trough for my goats), roasted vegetables and Fall harvest salad topped with sinfully delicious candied pecans. I feel like getting married again so Busy Bee Catering can handle the food. Thank you so much! You'll be seeing me and my hungry tummy again SOON!

Jan & Dani catered our son's wedding for 260 people on a 33 acre property where EVERYTHING had to…read morebe brought in....and it was flawless! They were amazing to work with and so calm and wise to keep this MOTG relaxed to enjoy the events. The quotes were more reasonable than others and food/flavor/freshness/presentation not compromised. I had wanted our son to go with the PDX caterer and Jan & Dani were definitely the best choice. You can't go wrong with them. We also used them at Alpine Events for our rehersal dinner with 52 people and the dinner was fabulous and the event space so lovely and personal for our gathering. Jan & Dani even decorated with the runners/candles/banner and flowers that we dropped off while at the rehersal. I can't say enough about them! Janey

When she brought in my bouquet on the day of, I hadn't seen anything yet and it was SO perfect. I couldn't have asked for more perfect flowers. The bud vases were gorgeous and the flowers were so beautiful. I got so many compliments from all my guests telling me how beautiful the florals were, and it really pulled the entire day together perfectly. She's an amazing artist with florals and I recommend selecting her for an all your floral wants and needs! Communication was great throughout the entire process and I would 10/10 book her again! thanks so much Kimberly!!!

We worked with Kimberly for our Oct 2022 wedding and couldn't have been happier with her services…read more She helped us with month of planning and with flowers and design. The flowers were absolutely stunning and everything I had imagined and more. She did a beautiful bouquets that perfectly matched our decor. She also created an amazing smokebush-esque altar area that perfectly highlighted us, without blocking the view behind us. As for planning and day of services, she did a great job of orchestrating the whole timeline, working with the venue to manage site visits, coordinating other vendors and keeping everyone perfectly in line during the day of. Would definitely work with Kimberly again and would reccomend her whole heartedly.

Delilah's did our daughters wedding in August 2025. Through some magic formula they were able to…read moreprovide salmon, steak, and a vegan main, along with four salads that were all gluten-free and vegetarian or vegan AND within our not-very-huge budget. The food was sooooo good. Guests are still raving about it. And they did a fantastic job of both set up and clean up afterwards. They trucked everything all the way to the upper Hood River Valley without any mishaps or loss of quality. I cannot say enough good things about them.

TLDR: great view, clean and modern. Poor acoustics. Two level venue splits guests…read more Went to a wedding held here. Beautiful view of the waterfront but the docks do take up a lot of space in your photo if you're trying to get a water shot on the balcony. It would be nicer if there was more water to view rather than docks and boats. The place is very clean and has a very modern feel. The acoustics were terrible. The entire time we were there, I was shouting to speak and had to lean in each time to speak to anyone. This place is so spacious and little conversations accumulate into a big echoey mess. Pair that with event music, utensils clattering and you get a jumbled mess of sounds. The flooring is also just pure concrete so that didn't help. There was little in the form of sound dampening. The venue is two levels with restrooms being single room washrooms on the first floor. Though the view is nice from the second level, my personal opinion is that a single level is best for any venue so that guests (such as myself) don't feel torn from the event and have to choose between mingling between floors. Ample private parking lot.

IMPOSSIBLE TO GET AHOLD OF/ Follow up I put in a a request…read morefor catering on their website on Jan 15th and did not hear back, decided to call a week later, Debbie told they (or someone) were out of town, hence the delay, and that was why they hadnt gotten back to me sooner but that they'd get a quote to me by end of day. Never heard back. I called again three days later, left a voicemail. Called again a week ish later, was told their "systems went down" and was apologized to and that they'd get a qoute to me within 24 ish hours. Never heard back, that was 2 weeks ago. ALL of this time wasted waiting for just a qoute. Catering is a lot of money- and most people want to spend their money with people/companies who actually want it. Taking a month to just give a qoute is bad business. Just say you cant take on another client right now. Wouldnt recommend.

We even had gluten free mac and cheese and chicken strips for the kids. Debbie went above and beyond for our party and everyone raved about the teriyaki chicken, pulled pork, salads and rolls.

My sister has a very hard time finding truly Celiac safe food and Simply Thyme Catering knocked it out of the park for us. Thank you Debbie!

Wish I would have read some reviews before booking Country Bear for my April 2023 wedding. It was…read morenearly impossible to reach Danielle in the 2 months leading up to the day, and when she finally responded (after ignoring us multiple times and for multiple weeks) we heard many excuses. She was so unresponsive that we had backup plans in case she didn't show up on the day. My last payment went missing on her end and took over a week for her to find. I had to ask her at least 4 times to update our contract. I have emails stating there was no oven on sight, but she showed up with uncooked food expecting an oven. The venue manager came to the rescue and let us use the oven in her apartment on site. This issue resulted in food being served late. My friends and family who helped set up décor at the venue heard her and her staff complaining about the space (it was a very small venue). I called her the night before to ensure she had everything she needed. She did not answer the phone, and then texted me the morning of my wedding day asking if I had cups. As part of our contract we paid for real glassware which apparently she forgot. Instead she had to run out and get plastic disposable. I will say that the food was pretty good, and she gave me a handful of tasty menu options in my budget. She was thorough helping me with a cocktail menu and how much alcohol to buy, and even brought a mixer that she already had on hand for one of the drinks (she sub contracted the bartender).

Where do I even start? If I could rate Bear Country Catering 0 stars, I would. It was an absolute…read moreawful experience working with Danielle and team. Her poor business managment skills, lack of communication, and ability to make up an excuse for every issue is just the start. It was so bad working with Danielle and this company that we were reaching out to other catering companies days before our wedding in an effort to ensure we were going to have food. Below is a few of the issues we had with this business for our August 2022 wedding. - Zero communication after paying deposit. - Excuse for every issue in not being able to communicate. - 30 min late arriving to venue for wedding - They forgot knives for our 200 guests - Ran out of drink cups that they were supplying within 5 minutes of serving - Half the staff that was promised - They forgot table runners - Unprofessional staff Saving the best for last.... We had 40 people that DID NOT eat. We were notified the morning of the wedding that guests would need to serve themselves for everything but meat, that was not our original plan. The sides ran out so quickly and the meat was not served to 40 people. We paid for 220 people. Called Danielle multiple times the week before to let her know that we would be more around 200. (Trying to be courteous) We had 194 folks show up and still they still ran out. At the end of the day, save yourself the awful experience my wife and I had to go through and find someone else to cater your event.
