Taking care of our clients, each step of the way.

When we first set out to do business, we knew that taking care of our clients was something we'd have to work hard to protect as we grew. We put tireless hours into building a process that ensures clients receive the best level of service from their dedicated account manager. From your first contact submission, to the finish of the event, we will take care of you and your guests!

1 - Contact Us!

We'll check our calendar for availability - we typically book events around 6-12 months in advance!

2 - Questionnaire!

We'll partner you with on of our highly-qualified Account Managers who will send over our Event Questionnaire to gather some details about your event and what your vision is!

3 - tell us more!

After you submit your questionnaire, we may have a few more questions to make sure we’ve captured the small details of your wants and needs in order to build you the most accurate custom proposal! If so, your Account Manager will be in touch via email and may set up a call or in-person meeting if needed.

4 - OUR PROPOSAL!

We want you to get a clear and accurate proposal for our services! We'll put something custom together for you that will clearly display our scope of work and detailed pricing to go with it!

5 - Details!

If things are looking good and you'd like to continue further, let's talk finer details, rental items, space planning, and more!

6 - Event!

We'll set our sights on you and your guests at the event! Some other items will fall into place, but we're looking forward to sharing food and beverages with you!

We want pricing to be accurate and transparent.

Pricing for catering is a tricky thing. There are so many options with catering that can make the pricing fluctuate in incredible ways! When we build proposals for our clients, we want the pricing to be as accurate as possible, and we want to give a clear picture of our services and everything we're involved in. We break our pricing down into 5 sections.

Food

Locally sourced and sustainable food is one of our main goals. We've built relationships with farms in and around Portland to ensure we get the best ingredients for each season! All items on our menu are priced per guest and are based on your final headcount.

For your cocktail hour, we offer stationary items or passed items. Priced separately, items can range from $2/person to $8/person.

Whether you're looking to host a Family-Style meal, Plated meal, or a more casual Buffet meal - we price each menu based on the unique blend of selections. Depending on the number of sides and entrees, and the items themselves, our menus may range from $40/person to $60/person.

While desserts have never been a focus for us, we do provide some desserts when we're able. Let us know your ideas and we can talk pricing!

Beverages

An essential accompaniment to food, we'll provide basic non-alcoholic beverages for all of your guests.

Along with pitchers of water on each guest table, we'll provide a self-serve beverage station with minted water and lemonade. Portland's own Extracto coffee, and Steven Smith Teas can also be added at an additional per guest price. Your local and out-of-town guests will be thrilled with the quality!

Our bar offerings and service are of the same quality and craft as our food. When we provide bar service, we provide everything. As with our food, pricing can vary greatly depending on needs and selections. In general, adding bar offerings and services to your event will start around $25/guest.

Please let us know if you are also interested in our team providing your event with alcoholic beverages and bartending services and we can provide additional info and pricing regarding that!

Service Team

Known as Portland's most helpful catering crew, our staff will be on site every step of the way and will pitch in wherever needed.

We arrive about 2 hours prior to guest arrival. This gives us adequate time to set the necessary things up (place settings, food and beverage stations, etc.). We'll plan to be off-site 1 hour after the event concludes.

Our crew will be led by our Lead Server, who will oversee every aspect of your event. They'll be the first to arrive from our staff, and will be the last to leave.

On site, we'll also have a chef lead overseeing the chef team, and our bar manager. We have quite the reputation in the Portland wedding community for being prompt, helpful, kind, and enthusiastic. Just another way we ensure you and your guests are well taken care of!

Depending on the service style selected, staffing can range between $17/guest up to $40/guest for a top-level plated meal.

Server staffing is the main difference between our 3 main serving styles (buffet, family-style, plated). For a buffet meal, we'll typically staff 1 server per 50 guests; for family-style service, we'll typically staff 1 server per 25 guests; for plated meals, we'll typically staff 1 server per 16 guests. This doesn't take into consideration some venues that require some extra staff and setup.

On average, our full service clients end up spending between $85 and $200 per person depending on services needed for their event.

I'm sure you have tons of questions!

Do you work with coordinators?

Of course! We highly recommend having a coordinator to help with planning, designing, and facilitating your event! Some of our favorites may be found on the People We Love page!

What equipment do you need on site for cooking?

We know that not all venues have kitchen spaces for us to use - which is why we've grown accustomed to bringing all of our own supplies, or renting larger cooking equipment from a local rental company. One thing that sets us apart from most other caterers is that we cook most of your meal on site! Your guests will love the quality, and we'll bring everything we need to knock their socks off. We'll need a 10' x 20' space (or comparable) in order to provide the service you want.

What are the pricing differences between buffet, family-style, and plated meal service?

The biggest difference is in the staffing. We price our menus the same, so there's little change there. For family-style service, we'll be bringing platters of each entree item to each guest table and to execute that service flawlessly, we'll need extra hands! The same goes for plated meal service; more hands means your guests are taken care of better.

Can we provide our own alcohol?

I'm so sorry, but offering our bartenders for hire is a service we no longer provide. Our bar service is incredibly well-curated and our beverages are handcrafted for amazing quality. We reserve our bartenders for events where our bar service is taking place.

Can you give me a generalized quote?

When we offer pricing for our services, we want it to be as accurate, thorough, and complete. Which is why we want to talk over things with you beforehand.

Have you already submitted an inquiry with us?
