Spring Equinox Dinner at Camp Colton was a rare kind of evening -- one that felt both beautifully…read morecurated and wholly genuine. Set amid the quiet splendor of Colton's natural landscape, the dinner offered not only a memorable meal, but a sense of welcome that lingered long after the evening ended. The setting was lovely, serene, and deeply atmospheric, the kind of place that invites you to slow down and take it all in. Just as striking was the warmth of the people, whose friendliness gave the event its true heart. It was an experience marked by grace, generosity, and a feeling of community that is increasingly hard to find. We left already hoping to return for Camp Colton's summer and fall events.

Attended a wedding at Camp Colton this past week and had an excellent experience…read more - The grounds are stunning - Staff was overly accommodating with the elderly guests. Some of the walks were a bit far for the older folks, but they offered golf cart rides to and from whenever we needed. I'm not sure if this is something they typically do, but they even let us borrow the cart for the first day. The camp director, Alison, genuinely went out of her way to make our lives easier getting around the camp and we were very impressed with their hospitality. - We stayed in the multi-room cabin and everything was clean and perfectly fine. I had some family stay in the tiny home + the yurt and they loved the experience. - Reception hall and back patio were awesome. A+ pictures Would recommend!!

The room was also very clean. We have stayed in a number of hotels over the years, and I have to say that we appreciated the attention to every detail! Friendly staff as well!

From the sets to the photography and styling -- this is everything you could possibly want for a fantastically fun time. The dressing room and bathrooms are even decked out for fun selfie time during outfit changes and the accessory station is divine. Eric and the whole crew bring so much fun and creativity to each session and set, you cannot go wrong. If you've never gone and gotten professional shots done, it is worth every penny and moment. Also, best date ever. Who doesn't want to sit in front of a camera on a glamorous set feeling pretty???

Voila' first came to my attention several years ago when I noticed that they were the ones working…read morethe classiest events around Portland. (I am a professional musician.) One of the things that made them stand out for me was that they always made a point to set aside a tray at the end of the gig for the musicians - that kind of courtesy was unusual, and the food was amazing! Based on those experiences, I hired them to cater a fundraising event for our youth symphony, and they were great to work with in every way. They kept us within our budget and everyone raved about the food. Several years later when it came time to hire a caterer for my wedding, there was no question in my mind that I wanted Voila'. Still, my husband-to-be was living in CA, so I set up a tasting so that he could decide if he wanted to try other places, or go with them. No question - after trying the food it was Voila' all the way! I've seen negative reviews on this site. Is Jonathan opinionated? Yes, but there is good reason for that. They take their food seriously, and they have been doing this for a long time, so they know what works. Now they are also doing event rentals, and I found it to be cost-effective as well as more efficient to also order the linens and such from them that our venue did not provide. I really appreciated his input and did not find his manner off-putting. In fact, he even agreed to meet with me again when I was questioning my choices on the menu! Of course, in my field I am accustomed to strong personalities, and I don't take offense at someone who is passionate about what they do. Everything they did at the reception was STELLAR. Everything they served was scrumptious, and their excellent serving staff made sure that everything was smooth and trouble-free. Delivery/clean-up was flawless. Since they make everything to order, they do not do buffets, so if that is what you are looking for, this isn't the place for you. If you want organization, exquisite flavors and something really special - call Voila'.

I sure wish I had read all of these reviews before attempting to work with this caterer! We had a…read moreterrible experience with them, but we put on a smile through it all...until they ultimately canceled on us with relatively short notice. While our event was just a big catered party for friends/family/neighbors, I can't imagine what is must have been like for the unfortunate couples who have crossed paths with them when trying to put together their special wedding day. The themes that emerge in others' reviews below sum up our experience with Viola Catering nicely: Alisabeth S.: "RUDE.... Don't waste your time." Luana V.: "If you value your time and have any self-respect, I recommend staying far away from this business...Their salesman (or owner?) spent 90% of the time we were there patronizing us and speaking poorly about the competition" Marjorie R.: "...constant name dropping and excessive story telling by Jonathan...I mention that we have hired a wedding planner...Jonathan asks me how much we spent.  I uncomfortably answer X dollars.  He says, "you have wasted X dollars," ...and he "would rather walk (us) out than work with a wedding planner." This is a huge disappointment to us.  I try to ascertain whether they will work with one if they are given "the power" on the day of but instead he continues to make condescending comments and insult us.  We were invited to stay for dinner but we walked out on them instead." Kang Z.: "I hate to bitch about anyone but really really want to share how bad the experience could be with them. The smaller guest number you have, the less respect you will receive...They don't want any feedback from client. It seems they're just so proud on what they do and either you take whatever they offer you on menu and price or you will be just humiliated! I have to say that is the worst experience I ever ever had before. Again so regretful that didn't read review first." Hannah B.: "Very poor service, I needed a caterer and was abruptly told I could "NEVER" work with them because I already had a wedding planner. Very rude and abrupt, work on your customer service skills!!!!!! Would never hire or recommend them to anyone!" Sarah L.: "Terrible! Jonathan is a pompous ass! Don't waste your time!"
