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!

We are absolutely thrilled with the service Willaby’s provided! We used them for both catering and bartending for our wedding and they were so wonderful to work with. Great communication and worked with us to make our menu come to life. We did a custom menu with them and our guests loved the unique ideas and quality that Willaby’s provided. The food was great and the staff was so lovely to work with. Everyone is raving about it months later. Highly recommend this team- they are amazing!

Willabys did an amazing job catering at our wedding - their service was fantastic, super easy to work with, and their food was delicious! Many of our guests had a lot of positive things to say regarding the taste and quality of the food that evening. I highly recommend giving this business a shot for your next big gig!

Wow all the way around!!!!! Fabulous catering team and amazing food!!! They catered my cousins wedding Friday evening and went above and beyond to make the day was special. The staff was so personable and professional!! I highly recommend willabys. Deffinantly have Mary bartend your events, because she is truly the best. She not only took care of the bar, but checked in on guests at their tables to provide an elevated experience. Im sorry I can't remember everyones name from that night, but they deserve a raise!!! Bravo team!!!

Willabys understood the assignment. We hired them to cater a retirement party in Downtown Portland and wanted an elegant and beautiful charcuterie table.They were a dream to coordinate with as we planned the event. Megan was consistently responsive and communicative, which made us feel confident she was going to handle everything just right. The pricing was great and their proposal was detailed and left nothing to mistake.And if that isn't enough, the entire team entered the space with such positive energy, staging the event as if it were a joyous hobby and not a job. They provided bartending as well as bussing service, which allowed me and my colleagues enjoy the party and hand over responsibility to them.They set up in 1.5 hours and returned the space to it's orginal state at the end like wizards.Thank you Megan, Wendy & the Willabys team!!!

Willaby’s was definitely one of the best wedding decisions we made when choose vendors! Our guests raved about the food and I loved all of the options they had. We ended up doing a buffet of “heavy apps” to make a full meal and it was also a super affordable route to go, along with having tons of options for guests!

Willabys catered our wedding last weekend and they were terrific. From early stage planning, to our tasting, to final details and day of--they went above and beyond to make our day special. Willaby's coordinated our rentals as well which was so helpful. The team never made me feel crazy for asking too many questions or double-checking something; instead I always walked away feeling at ease. We did passed apps (people were raving about the steak bites), pizza that was delicious, and the team did our bar. My family keeps saying how kind, friendly, and professional everyone on staff was. The whole night they were ready to jump in to help or tweak things, and they finished off by doing amazing with our clean up! Big thanks to the whole team at Willabys!

We hired Willaby's for our wedding on May 27, 2023 at Deepwood Museum & Gardens in Salem, OR. Working with Willaby's was exceptional--they were professional, kind, and most importantly, made delicious food that everyone at our intimate wedding raved about.Willaby's created a menu that took into consideration our guests' dietary restrictions and our catering preferences. We participated in a tasting as recommended and were impressed by the food's quality. Our appetizer was a charcuterie grazing board. Entrees were a hazelnut beer braised beef with portobello ale sauce, baked salmon, and Italian vegan stuffed peppers. Sides were garlic and roasted-parmesan fingerling potatoes, strawberry spring salad with candied walnuts served with a lemon dijon vinaigrette, and bread. For dessert, we had brownie bites, chocolate mousse shooters, and berry tartlets.On our wedding day, Willaby's was quick to set up everything with limited instruction because of their familiarity with the venue. The staff were very kind, attentive, and easy to talk to. We highly recommend Willaby's as a wedding caterer!

My husband and I had Willabys cater our wedding and they were incredible every step of the way. Communication was great, the food was incredible, and the staff was so kind. I would definitely have them again if I had to do it all over. 5+ stars! :)

As a busy wedding/event DJ I work with caterers every weekend. Willabys is easily among the best. Wendy, Baz, Eddie and the rest of the Willabys team are professional, kind, fun on a bun and have some the tastiest food in the game. Don’t walk, run to book this stellar catering squad!

Willaby's was absolutely wonderful to work with! When my husband and I were deciding on Zenith Vineyards for our wedding venue, the quality of food offered, wide-range of food options available, as well as the efficient and kind communication, truly contributed to our decision to secure the venue. Megan played a huge role in ensuring our wedding planning process was enjoyable and stress-free! Not only did they cater the event, but they created an entire room map, and assisted in both the set-up and tear-down process. Lastly, the food at the wedding was DELICIOUS, and our guests continue to rave about it to this day. I highly recommend working with Willaby's - We are so thankful we did.

I had Willabys cater my wedding this past weekend and I cannot rave about them enough! As a vegetarian, I have very strong opinions about having high quality food at weddings that caters to a variety of different diets. I've been very disappointed by wedding food in the past, which I didn't want to replicate at my own. Willabys was recommended by our planner, and from the first email I was incredibly impressed by their communication, professionalism, and willingness to tweak the menu to our taste. My fiance and I were blown away at the tasting, which translated well to the actual wedding when I was told "there may have been some fights over the food". Another concern of mine was the quantity of food (running out of food at a wedding is a recipe for disaster), and Willabys ensured that there was plenty to go around. They were also so flexible with our needs. For example, we purchased our own alcohol for the event and they provided the staff to serve at two different bar set ups at the cost of one. In general, they were so affordable as well - we only paid about half of what we had initially budgeted! Finally, what I didn't expect was just how friendly and amazing the Willabys folks would be at our wedding. So many guests commented on how wonderful and outgoing they were, at the bar and otherwise, and I myself had multiple awesome chats with them. 10/10 would have them for any event, and I'm so grateful to have had them at my wedding.

Our daughter got married Aug 5th 2023, and it was a beautiful event. Willabys did a wonderful job, and deliver all they promised with a smile and excellent service. People were commenting from the appetizers to the end of service how great the food was.
