Occasions catered my high schools 60th reunion. We ordered a three-entrée buffet (beef, chicken and salmon) and everyone was delighted with the choices and the accompanying dishes. Our two servers were extremely gracious. And efficient.
If enough of us are still around, we'll come to them for our 70th reunion!

Occasions Catering catered our wedding, and we cannot rave enough how amazing the experience was. The food items we chose on our menu were:
-Charcuterie Cups
-Fresh Greens, with Candied Pecan, Gorgonzola tossed with Balsamic Vinaigrette
-Grilled Flank Steak with Chimichurri Sauce &
Mushroom Demi Glaze
-Chicken Dijon Sautéed Mushrooms, Pear Onions,
Artichoke Hearts, Heavy Cream & Dijon Mustard
-Sweet Potatoes with Bacon Onions, Serrano Chili
& Chives topped with a Banana Sour Cream (on
the side)

We had SO many compliments with how much guests loved the food. Karla was amazing with communication prior to the wedding and day-of. The staff was very friendly and efficient, and our bartender was skilled.

I felt very supported and taken care of, and am so thankful we went with Occasions Catering for our wedding!

We used Occasions Catering for my daughter’s baby shower! Karla and her whole team are absolutely amazing! They made planning a baby shower from Texas (to be held in WA) a breeze! The menu, the food, and set up were wonderful! Highly recommend!

We used Occasions for our wedding and Karla was a great help throughout the whole process! They were responsive over email and quick to provide quotes, updates, and answers to our questions. The tasting made for a fun little date night and it was great to connect in person and go over details. Karla and her staff set up our tables to our specifications and ensured the day went smoothly. Most importantly, our guests liked the food! The beef with chimichurri was our favorite; the sweet potatoes with banana sour cream sounded out there at first but really worked together. The green beans were a bit heavy on the thyme. We hired bartending services through them as well and provided our own beverages. We also really appreciated having our leftovers boxed up for us at the end of the night!

We used them for a corporate event and everything was spectacular! Lauren B was communicative, professional, and understanding. I needed help trying to adjust for our budget and she went out of the way to make sure all of our needs were met. We had a few curve balls the night of the event and she handled them with ease. Plus the food was FANTASTIC! great job Occasions catering!

Thank you Star!  Everything was fantastic! We loved our table settings :)  We felt so confident that you would handle things beautifully, and you did!  The dinner menu was perfect! We appreciated your vegetarian and vegan choices also.  The hors d'oeuvres table was superb! We received so many compliments on the cheese, meat, condiments setup and the bacon jam was a hit!

Thanks again, it was such a pleasure working with you and your team!

I had an event last week for about 20 people and they were amazing! The customer service, timeliness and food were all above expectations. I will definitely be using Occasions Catering in all of my future events.

Wow dangerous driver on the interstate! It's heavily raining today and their company van is following behind people less than a carlength away, erratic lane changing trying to get ahead, speeding in bad weather, SO UNSAFE, I would never support such a careless and irresponsible company, their driving is going to get someone killed.

Occasions catering was amazing, especially Cindy who was our main point of contact! She was so helpful with decision making beforehand, did a site visit for us because we live out of state and sent tons of photos, and even lent my now-FIL her jacket when it rained before the ceremony so he wouldn’t be drenched in photos! She really knows how to go above and beyond and during the reception made sure we grabbed plates first so we had a chance to eat and got us drinks when we were too busy talking and saying hi to everyone. Great food, excellent setup and takedown (it all looked beautiful) even at our site that had no cell reception, and huge help day-of in having everything run smoothly.

I had the absolute pleasure of using Occasions Catering at my wedding reception, which had roughly 100 people in attendance. They had a large selection of menu items which made picking my perfect wedding dinner a breeze! From our first interaction with them, communication was seamless and it was clear that they were dedicated to making our event perfect. The event coordinator we worked with, Star, had such attention to detail which ensured beautiful place settings - she brought our wedding reception vision to life! By the end of the evening, multiple guests were asking about the caterer and sharing how much they loved the food. You will be in such good hands with Occasions Catering!

Occasions was such a great catering company to work with! Our team truly enjoyed the above and beyond support that they provided.

Everyone at occasions was super helpful and very communicative! The food was great and the service staff, coordinator and owner are amazing! As soon as they arrived on site they took over and I felt the stress of the day melt away!

Much appreciated!

I wanted to give my business to this place but it was like pulling teeth just to get anyone to contact me back about anything. Initial phone call went great, they said they would email me a proposal. 2 weeks went by, nothing in my inbox(i had them send me an email to make sure they had the correct email when talking on the phone). I called them, never got a call back, sent out an email that same day asking if they had finished the proposal. They said it was being reviewed by a manager. Another 2 weeks went by, I emailed them again asking for the proposal and had sent them the exact buffet style dinner we were in need of for our party, told them that I needed it by the end of the week or we would be forced to look elsewhere for catering. Got a response saying that I would have it by the end of the week. NOTHING EVER CAME. Complete waste of time. Don’t bother with this business unless you have about a year for them to reply back to you.
We went with a caterer more local to our event. Mind you the caterer we are using now owns two other businesses, she had a proposal written up and sent over within the same day. Horrible customer service and communication skills.0 of 5 stars
