When my husband and I got engaged, I immediately started planning, and I knew without question that I wanted Tuxedos and Tennisshoes to cater our wedding. In fact, I contacted them and chose our wedding date based entirely on their availability. Throughout the entire planning process and all the way through til the end of our wedding night, they were nothing short of fantastic.Both Michelle and Reed helped us plan everything, from our menu to the schedule, to the setup, including every detail at the Hall at Fauntleroy. They stayed in constant communication via email and text, never letting me worry about a thing, which as anyone planning a wedding knows, is a challenge to do! Even leading up to the day before, I texted Reed because I'd had a nightmare about things falling apart and he told me not to worry because he would never let that happen. They took so much of my stress away!The wedding day went so perfectly - We were allowed early access to the Hall for setup and photos, and the Hall was in excellent condition with the gardens in particular looking absolutely beautiful. The bride room was the perfect little hideaway for me to get ready and to also tend to my daughter who was 8 months and breastfeeding at the time. My husband and his groomsmen utilized the studio, which they all thought was awesome with the lounge, bar, and pool table setup.The ceremony was held in the garden area outside the Vashon room and it felt so hidden and far away from the city, as all the plants were in full bloom; It felt like the secret garden! The garden at the entryway to the Hall was the perfect place for us to share our private vows and capture our "first look" photos. The space easily accommodated our 130 guests. Cocktail hour was held in the outside patio space with the 2-sided bar allowing for quick service, as well as tray passed appetizers for everyone. The food was unbelievable. Most of the guests went up to the buffet for 2nds and even 3rds, and I had multiple people ask me if I could try to get particular recipes for them - ha! The brisket and the watermelon salad were particularly delicious, along with the vegan cheesecake tartlets - to die for!The TNT staff was so wonderful throughout the event. Joe was the lead server and he made sure to bring my husband and I a few appetizers each while we signed our marriage paperwork, as well as cocktails to join in the festivities. When dinner began, he went through the buffet first for us to make plates for us so we didn't have to worry about that either. We were so well taken care of the entire time, once again taking away any possible added stress.The day was simply perfect and we couldn't have done it without Tuxedos and Tennisshoes. Since the wedding, our family and friends have repeatedly said how wonderful the day was and asked about not only the caterer, but the venue as well.I just can't say enough thank yous to Michelle, Reed, Joe, Chef Dan, and the whole Tuxedos and Tennisshoes team. They're the best!

This company stands out as a beacon of excellence in the catering industry, renowned for transforming ordinary events into memorable culinary experiences.From the inside out, Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes embodies a culture of quality and passion for food that is rare. As a chef, being part of a team that puts such an emphasis on sourcing seasonal and local ingredients meant that creativity in the kitchen was always encouraged.

Always a pleasure to work with this team: excellent communication, stellar collaboration as a whole, their offerings in both venues + beyond tasty bites, and the way they give back to the community makes it an easy YES to work with them on the regular. Thanks, T+T for all that you do in raising the bar in the Seattle event industry!

We used T&TS for our son's smallish wedding on Labor Day weekend. Unfortunately and against the forecast, it was raining when the wedding program started. After waiting a while to see if it would stop, we made the call to move the wedding inside the house. The team from T&TS was amazing. They cleared out the living room and we seated more than 50 people inside in less than 30 minutes. A fabulous time was had by all. Thank you so much. I cannot recommend the team enough.

This is some high quality catering. No joke when I say the sandwich platter was some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Many of their other items (like the chicken skewers with roasted red pepper dipping sauce) were great as well. Highly recommend for your next catered event.

Absolutely the most kind and professional staff I have ever worked with. The food was magnificent, and the staff anticipated every need we had even before we knew we needed it. Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes went above and beyond to make our day run flawlessly; we could not have been in better hands through each step of the journey.THANK YOU FOR SAVING THE DAY!!!!

As wedding planners, Tuxedos & Tennis Shoes is a dream caterer to work with! Not only is their food delicious, but their event day service excels all expectations every. single. time. Having a strong caterer for the event day is really important for planners and we never have to worry about execution when we work with T & T. Their communication, expertise, and initiative are rarely matched elsewhere. AE Events & Design will never say "no" to a wedding with T & T. We love this team!

Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes were the best decision for our wedding! It was a love at first sight situation. We went to many tastings and all of the catering companies has something special. We left thinking it would be such a hard decision to pick one. T&T was our last tasting. We immediately knew they were the ones for us and signed on the spot. We were so impressed with their kindness, organization and delicious food!We had a very specific vision of how we wanted our wedding food to be presented. They met these expectations and beyond!! All of guests were super impressed with our creative his, hers and ours buffet stations. It was fun and an experience! Also something many had not seen before. We still hear about how delicious the food and cocktails were at our wedding.Thank you T&T! You have our recommendation forever!
