My husband and I booked with Willabys for our wedding and most everything was wonderful. Megan was very detail-oriented and she and the other day-of staff were very kind. Their menu is extensive with an array of price options, the food was delicious, and they were able to accommodate a number of guests with dietary restrictions.
A couple things to note: Our tables were not uniformly set, some place settings were set differently than others for some reason. The bulk of our wedding cake was also not cut and served as requested, so we ended up taking home a whole tier. The catering team also accidentally broke several of our glass rentals. We understand mistakes happen though, and thankfully, the rental company did not end up charging us for this. Willaby's was very kind and offered to pay for any damages if we had been charged. Just some observations and none of these things adversely impacted our day though.
Overall, the positives far outweigh the couple insignificant hiccups and I can't emphasize enough the kindness of their team or the deliciousness of their food. Would recommend.

My husband and I worked with Willabys for our 2024 wedding, and they were absolutely spectacular. Megan was the main reason we pursued an initial tasting with the company—she was the most responsive and accommodating catering lead I’ve ever worked with, and I have an extensive background in weddings and events.
As a vegetarian, I was able to build a custom menu that not only accommodated but exceeded my dietary needs. The staff on the day of our event was professional, and our food arrived at our table on time and warm. Also, the food was incredibly fresh and delicious.
Willabys truly delivered an exceptional experience! If they have your date available, book them! You will not regret it!

They worked very well with the venue (Zenith Vineyards) which made the day run smoothly. The food was great, everyone especially loved the summer berry salad! They were also excellent at accommodating food allergies.

Megan was so great to work with throughout the planning process. She was extremely kind and made us feel so comfortable throughout. Megan was extremely helpful with providing options to stay within our budget while maintaining a great guest experience. Willaby’s had a ton of menu options to choose from which allowed us to really curate the menu to fit our food preferences. The food was amazing and probably the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests on the food and it truly elevated our guest experience. I am 100% recommending Willaby’s to all my friends getting married in the next few years!

We were so happy with Willaby's catering for our 2024 wedding in Mcminnville. We tried Portland Catering company first and just found their food to be a little lacking in seasoning (seeing as how we had a private tasting with just four people that was a little concerning thinking how they would handle 90!). Our tasting at willabys was MUCH better. the flank steak was delicious, and the korean sliders were amazing. Megan A was also really nice to work with. she helped us with some last minute changes with vegetarian options and some last minute allergies that popped up. We went with flank steak, chicken thighs, vegetarian yakisoba, and the korean sliders and they were all a hit with our guests.
One star taken away only because we had to reach out 1.5ish weeks prior to our wedding to confirm guest numbers, meals, and where to send our second deposit. I felt a little forgotten about until I reached out first.

Willabys is SO good! Our wedding had over 130 people served buffet style and everyone’s food was delicious and hot, several people came up to us and said it was the best wedding food they had ever had. They wrapped up plenty of leftovers for us and Megan is wonderful to work with! I highly recommend them for your wedding needs!

The food from Willaby's was absolutely delicious—by far the best we tried during our search for caterers. Working with them during the planning process was enjoyable overall, though we did face some challenges. They did not handle rental coordination and missed some details in the contract, which caused us frustration. As a result, we had to remove rental coordination and bartending from their contract entirely. Additionally, their location in Salem, OR, and our wedding being in the Columbia River Gorge led to higher travel costs and required several adjustments to our day-of plans. Despite these hiccups, the food and staff on our wedding day were fantastic. Many guests raved about how delicious the food was, with some calling it the best wedding food they’d ever had. We recommend Willaby's for their exceptional food, particularly if your event is close to Salem, OR.
Can’t recommend willabys enough!! They were amazing for our wedding! We did the tasting almost a full year before the wedding and I truly feel like the wedding food exceeded our expectations even though we loved the tasting! Megan was amazing to work with and answered every question I had and handled a ton of the rentals and also arranged for us to pick up the linens a day early so we could get everything set up which was beyond helpful!! Multiple people told us it was the best food they’ve had at the wedding! Everyone loved the flank steak, teriyaki salmon bites, and the bread and butter! I swear at least 50 people have told me they are obsessed with the bread and butter and people are still talking about it a month after the wedding! Highly recommend!!

For over 20 years Willaby's has been my go to caterer. I love the staff the food and the presentation is always the WOW factor. When you are looking for a casual get together or a Wedding for 200 Willaby's is the place to look. Thank you for always being AWESOME!
Emily Larson
Willabys came all the way out to Dufur, OR at the Balch Hotel to cater our wedding. They really made it happen for us! It was a pleasure working with Megan, and the rest of the team. The food was delicious from appetizers, salads, and all the main courses, and the family-style service we opted for was perfect. We are so happy with our catering choice, and are so grateful for them.
Sophie Olmstead
We had them cater are 150 person wedding. They were awesome communicators, always emailing back promptly. I had two different tastings with them to figure out exactly what we wanted. They were super flexible and cater to our wants and needs. The final product was awesome!

Amazing food and people! We hired Willabys to cater our wedding and everyone loved the food. The staff at our wedding were professional, friendly, and very helpful. Megan was an absolute delight to work with, and she really made the whole process easy, from accommodating for allergies, updating our contract, and responding very timely. We are still getting compliments on the food from the wedding!
