Lauren, Tracy, and the whole of Artemis Foods team are amazing. Before changing careers a number of years ago, I used to work for Artemis, and knew from my behind-the-scenes experience with the company that Lauren was the absolute right choice for my October 2023 wedding caterer. Having worked in the events and catering industry for many years myself and having a high standard of service because of it, my spouse and I knew we needed a team that I trusted enough to make sure I didn't put on an old hat and kick into professional event mode myself on our wedding day, or be stressing before or during the wedding. True to my experience as a former employee and as expected, their team had everything on lock.Chef Josh's food is not only stunning but delicious. Artemis always does a gorgeous presentation of their food, but in a way that is still approachable, is not pretentious, and just makes good sense. Their ingredients are thoughtful, locally-focused, and sustainability-forward, too. The care they put into their food really shows. We had a wide variety of palettes attending our wedding to cater to - from picky eaters to serious foodies, from vegans to everything-tarians. Everyone who had a chance to during and after the wedding kept raving about the food to me and my spouse. I speak for us both when I say we're *still* daydreaming about the short ribs we had months later.In short, the Artemis team kicks butt. Go with Artemis for your catering needs, and you will be well fed and superbly taken care of.

Artemis just catered my wedding and exceeded every expectation I could’ve possibly had. The food was AMAZING and my guests are still talking about how it was the best food they’ve ever eaten at an event. We opted for a family style meal featuring a combination of amazing mains and perfectly complimentary sides in a fall theme. It was second only to the professionalism, care and kindness of this phenomenal staff. I worked directly with Tracy Bender, who I can’t say enough nice things about. She worked tirelessly with me to make asure that every menu item, plate and bread basket were perfect and matched my exact vision. I can’t tell you how much it meant to me to walk into our reception and see everything set up so beautifully and carried out exactly like I wanted. If you’re a control freak like me and worried about trusting details of a special day to someone else Artemis is absolutely for you. I can’t recommend them enough.

Artemis was the perfect choice for our wedding!Colleen and team were a pleasure to deal with. They really cared about helping to make a great event and were very on top of the details. They went above and beyond. The food was super delicious! Would definitely recommend Artemis for any wedding catering you may be considering.

The food for our wedding was amazing, as expected. However, what really stood out was the Chef and staff's absolute enthusiasm for the theme, and their passionate expression of their talents through the meals. Our wedding was Medieval-Fantasy/Lord of The Rings themed, and the chefs went out of their way to research real authentic medieval cuisine with an inspired twist, which really made the event truly magical. I would also like to thank Tracy for her amazing customer service and eagerness to bring the magic to life.

I work with a lot of caterers in the wedding industry, and Artemis is truly one of the very best! I had the pleasure of working with them at Ecotrust Irving Street Studio last week. Their food is amazing, their team is completely professional, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great full service catering company! As a Certified Green Wedding Planner, I also recommend anyone who cares about the impact their wedding can have on the environment to hire Artemis.

I typically don’t do reviews but I had to. This had to be the worst catering company I have ever seen. Small variety, unprofessional service and extremely high cost. If you want to spend $10,000 on an entree for your guests call anyone but this place. Unbelievable, incredibly disappointing.
We recently worked with the Artemis team and had a wonderful experience. They are extremely detail oriented and organized, making the planning process smooth and easy. Our mouths were watering all day while they cooked on-site, wow it smelled so good! Dinner was incredible; exquisite presentation, timely, appropriate portions, and so much flavor. The salmon practically melted in our mouths. We highly recommend Artemis and look forward to the next opportunity.

Artemis Foods was 100% the right choice for our wedding.First and most importantly all of the food was delicious, and not just for wedding food. I'm still receiving compliments.We loved that the food was local and seasonal. Really showed off NW flavors to our visiting East Coast family members. Finally Lauren was wonderful to work with.We had to move our date several times due to the pandemic and she was so flexible and gracious. From the beginning everything was well planned and laid out, and the wedding itself went flawlessly. I would hire them again and recommend them to anyone.-Susannah + Pat

We had our wedding in July of 2021 and Artemis Foods catered and helped guide the most seamless event I have been to! They were absolutely wonderful to work with. My partner and I had never planned an event this large, and they were there for every step of the way. Lauren and her team were so responsive, and very helpful in answering anything we didn’t understand. For the food at our wedding, we really wanted to honor our cultural backgrounds, and Artemis Foods was able to blend our Peruvian and Vietnamese backgrounds into delicious appetizers and distinct entrees that worked beautifully together. We absolutely loved it! Many guests told me afterwards that the food was some of the best wedding food they had ever had. We are also very grateful for Artemis Foods’ flexibility. We originally had our wedding date for the summer of 2020 and were able to postpone without a hitch. Lauren and her team are so professional and the whole event turned out great based on all of our needs. I would recommend them to anyone who has any catering or event planning needs!

Artemis Catering should be your pick for your next event! After dealing with problems related to Covid-19, Artemis swooped in to help save the day for our wedding this September! Not only was the food beautiful to look at, it was absolutely delicious. Artemis uses locally sourced and seasonal ingredients! Our guests were extremely impressed. My husband and I made sure we had time during our wedding to actually eat the food because we were so excited after our tasting about it! The owner, Lauren, was extremely lovely and so pleasant to work with. The staff at Artemis are very professional, friendly, and were just an all around joy. When we chose the fried chicken as an option for the main entree, Artemis insisted on frying onsite to ensure the chicken was hot and fresh - this is when we really knew we hit the jackpot with caterers! They really care about the quality. I would give Artemis more stars if I could. Truly a wonderful company to work with. Thank you Artemis!

Tracey and her team were at our venue on Saturday 9/25/21. The level of their entire staffs professionalism blew us away. The food was delicious and they were so extremely attentive to everyone's needs. We would welcome them back any day and highly recommend hiring them for your next event!
