    Easy to work with. Food was well priced and excellent…read more Not easy to feed 170 people. But these folks made it happen. On time. Their website makes it easy to find where their trucks will be, for a taste test, or just dinner. Will definitely use them again.

    Do not ever use this company. We booked them for my daughter's wedding. Their communication was…read morehorrible. They sent the final invoice and I had asked a couple of questions. They never responded and then followed up with an email asking if we wanted to cancel. I immediately responded. We did not and I asked them to resend me the payment link. This was nearly 2 weeks before the wedding and they refused to communicate at all. They did not resend the invoice. They refused to return any phone calls or any emails. When I contacted the wedding venue if they could get in touch because they recommended this caterer for us. They called them and the caterer immediately called them back to tell them that they canceled service on us. They said for non-payment even though we specifically requested payment links multiple times and didn't even have the courtesy to let us know that they canceled service. We were left scrambling before the wedding to find another caterer. Fortunately with someone else was able to come through for us but this company nearly ruined my daughter's wedding. Do not ever use this company. I am adding additional clarification based on their response. They are correct that there were some changes, but they were told well in advance what the final numbers were. Additionally, they asked for payment and I responded to that email saying that I was not able to locate the payment link and I asked for it to be resent. They did not do so. I called and emailed multiple times after that point. They refuse to respond in any way. They were willing to call back the venue to let them know that they canceled the order, but they didn't even have the courtesy to tell me this. Completely unprofessional. If you want to cancel the order, that's your choice but you didn't even let us know this. Again. I asked for the payment link several times. Thanks. I called and left voicemails. I left emails and you refused to respond in any way. Do not do business with this company. They are completely unprofessional.

    Working with Tim Putnam of Smokeblossom Catering turned out to be a completely and utterly…read morenightmare experience. Last winter (Dec 2017) we signed a contract with Tim to cater our wedding in the Methow (late summer 2018). We then promptly sent him a deposit check for $1,500. After not hearing anything for a week, we discovered that the deposit check had been stolen out of our mailbox at our home in Seattle. After this discovery, we immediately reached out to Tim to both send him a new check, as well as get his help by confirming with our bank that he had never received the stolen check. Tim had absolutely no empathy or understanding of the situation. He immediately backed out from the catering agreement which left us scrambling. In order for us to recover the stolen funds, our bank needed Tim to sign a document stating that he had not cashed the check and hadn't received payment. Tim absolutely refused to do this. He repeatedly accused myself, my fiance, and my sister (who was assisting with planning) of stealing the check ourselves, trying to steal his identity and personal information, and lying to him. Multiple times he hung up on us while telephoning and behaved completely irrational. We worked incredibly hard to make the process smooth for him. We spent hours on the phone with his bank and our bank, as well as the Seattle Police Department, trying to recover the $1,500 funds. We sent Tim written confirmation and documentation of our engagement and impending wedding, but he only threatened us and continued to accuse us of fraud and attempting to steal his personal information. In total, we spent over 50 hours trying to sort out this mess. We were absolutely stunned and heartbroken throughout the whole process, having not only lost a large portion of our wedding budget, but also being treated so poorly during what should have been a happy time. Our initial impression of Tim was positive, which is why we initially signed a contract to do our catering with him. However, as we worked to recover the funds (which we were never able to recover the $1,500 due to Tim's staunch refusal to confirm to the bank that he never received payment), it became extremely clear that we could never, ever recommend Tim and Smokeblossom Catering to anyone. I cannot speak to Tim's culinary abilities, but I would advise anyone interested in Tim Putnam and his catering company to steer clear of this irrational man and his business and his poor and distasteful business and communication skills. Thankfully, we found another fantastic and local catering company to work with, and the food at our wedding was lovely and enjoyed by all.

    Went to an awesome event last night catered by Smokeblossom (NWIRP happy hour at the fabulous…read moreIcicle Ridge winery) and the food was AMAZING! Yum!!! I did not try everything but it all looked good. The shrimp with a smokey aioli (?) was delicious: the fried chicken on a biscuit, the mushroom cups and the individual mac and cheese--fun! The desserts looked great too. They catered this event last year too and they are consistently wonderful.
