Well I am SUPER picky and only if Mario Batali cooked for me in my kitchen would there be five. Seriously, Clare was easy to work with and was open to suggestions. The food was excellent, timely and well presented. She also did a very good job preparing a menu and other table items to coordinate with the tablesettings. Soup to nuts a wonderful experience and in the end a great value. I would hire her again - and that is simply the highest praise I offer.

Todd, the general manager, contacted me right away with a reasonable quote for our event and was willing to come out to a rural residence. We requested a drop off party so they provided all the disposable chafing dishes, silverware, plates, drinks, etc. They were easy to work with to make the arrangements. Oh my goodness... the food was fantastic! It arrived piping hot and the BBQ spread was amazing! Everyone kept saying how much they loved the BBQ chicken and the sweet ribs! The potato salad and coleslaw were amazing, too. Pound cake, whipped cream and fresh strawberries rounded out the meal. Five stars for the excellent service and fantastic meal! Thank you Todd and Lora!

LeGarmache Catering will bend over backwards for you…read more I contacted Todd to request a short notice, drop off for a rural, backyard wedding. We were looking for some vegan finger foods and charcuterie boards type nibbles for an evening affair. He was super responsive and accommodating, always a can- do attitude. The food delivered in a very professional presentation, easy to set up and exactly what the bride wanted! Everyone was so impressed. And of course, the food was delicious with asparagus wrapped phyllo spears, vegan charcuterie boards, roasted vegetables, sweet potato topped with goat cheese and honey drizzle. Perfection! They delivered!

We did not have a good experience with Jonz Catering for our wedding July 1. The food was not good…read morefor the price. For nearly $4000 the cold sandwiches and meager salads sans the promised fruit did not taste good, nor were they presented in an attractive way. In retrospect could have done better with Panera. Also, though additional money was sent for their contracting to set out tables and chairs (Pagoda House--Pt. Defiance)--those who came to serve knew nothing about that arrangement. The wedding party ended up setting out all of the tables and chairs though it had been prepaid for to Jonz Catering. One funny thing--the owner of Jonz Catering said that food should not be taken out by guests. Frankly few wanted to, so that was not a problem. Though polite, many guests complained to others in our wedding party about the poor quality of food. The only good thing about the experience with Jonz Catering were the two women servers who stayed (the owner or woman I made arrangements with left quickly). The two servers were polite and graciously cut our wedding cake when the baker left. I would warn not to use Jonz Catering. I did not have a good experience. I have been embarrassed about the quality of served food and it was definitely a disappointment of our important day.

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!

City Catering provided the catering for our wedding reception in October 2018, and we could not…read morehave been happier. I'll sum it up at the start: everything they did was beautiful, thoughtful, delectable, and respectful for us and for our guests and diverse diet preferences and restrictions. We got "best wedding food I've ever had" comments from pretty much everybody. On top of that, the City Catering staff was kind and considerate before, during and after, and instilled 100% confidence that our reception would be memorable and fun. Read on for a lot of heart-fluttering and tummy-tempting details... During the planning phase, Lendy and Chanin worked closely with us and with the venue on all details of menu, ingredients, timing, space, table settings...you name it and they were completely prepared to address it. They always said "yes" to us, and advocated for us when negotiating details with the venue. They were especially accommodating on the menu planning because our guests ran a wide range of food restrictions from vegetarian to gluten free to picky carnivores to a couple of very tricky and highly dangerous allergies...so, we basically gave them a needle to thread and they came up with a creative and diverse menu that met all of our needs. At the reception itself, the place settings were all gorgeous and matched well with the rustic, reclaimed look of the venue. We had a terrific little hors-d'ouevres spread with crackers, nuts, fruit, cheese and dips while the cooks prepared the entrees. Our dinner included an amaaaaazing salad followed by a buffet-style entrees; choices included a vegan eggplant entree that was out of this world; sauteed shrimp; and short ribs. There were also brussels sprouts that were cooked and seasoned absolutely perfectly. My mom was sitting on my right and she kept saying, "Oh, Chris, this is delicious," and she ate far more than the normal bird-like portion she would normally have had. Everything was gorgeous and perfect, and the staff were kind, courteous and professional without exception. The whole thing went off without a hitch, and I would highly recommended them to anyone. One last note: City Catering has also provided fantastic snacks-and-drinks catering at lots of local arts events I've attended; it's super great that they support the arts community in the Seattle area. YAAAAAYYYYYYY!!! Thank you again City Catering for making the trip down to Tacoma and being a part of our wedding day.

I felt that the food was a step above the usual wedding catering; it was innovative, delicious, and memorable.

In addition to the food and drinks, City Catering handled the setup and teardown of our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Our friends and family raved about the food and drinks, especially the bread bar.

We met at a coffee shop half way between our towns and had a great conversation. She was so welcoming and inviting and had all of my food nicely packaged and prepared with warming instructions. I just loved the little details. The fresh herbs sprinkled in, the edible flowers, just things like that. The food was incredible and I honestly couldn't point out a thing I didn't like. Her quote was very reasonable and competitive with other caterers. I wish I could have chosen two to cater our wedding, as we ultimately decided on someone who could also provide all our gf cupcakes for our guests, to simplify our lives.
