From the moment we walked into our first tasting my wife, mom, and I got the impression that Act 3 is a local company managed by folks that take great pride in participating in lif...e’s most meaningful celebrations. Our first impression was solidified via Roslyn’s clear and consistent communication (without being overwhelming to the brides), planning assistance, and support through the big day and beyond. The event manager who supported us during the day, Marla, could not have been better in her role or more supportive.
Before getting into the event, I want to highlight our tasting. Compared the others we did, Act 3 stood out immediately. Not only was the food hot and top-tier restaurant quality, Act 3 served our requested menu items and made sure my mom (the host and mother of the bride [me!]), who is vegan and gluten free, was well fed. Not only were we given a “thank you for considering us” gift, they sent all the leftovers home with us. We ate the leftovers for a couple days. The mushroom risotto, which is hard to reheat, was fantastic two days later.
In the midst the of wedding chaos, somewhere between the glass of champagne Marla handed us after the ceremony and dinner, I wanted to email Roslyn and thank her. I was mentally drafting this review during our event. Act 3 was a huge part of making the day go smoothly, supported my bride and I, and kept the host sane.
The host (hi mom!) specifically asked me to include her thoughts in my review: “I would like you to make a special note that Marla. As Act 3’s event manager, Marla did more than just catering and was crucial to the success of the evening. She kept things on track and supported the mother of the bride, who was new to planning and hosting a wedding, especially with the timeline and keeping on schedule. It would have been so easy to get behind and have the wedding go off the rails. Not only did Marla take care of everyone, but she also paid special attention to me and the smoothness of the event."
The entire Act 3 team has been amazing from the moment of our first tasting, through the event, and afterwards. While we are excited that wedding planning is over, I'll miss working with Act 3. Next time we need catering for an event, I know what company to contact! Thank you, Roslyn, Marla, and the entire Act 3 team.
I regret not getting a shot of the food included in our “sneak peaks!” I plan on updating this review with them. But, because our wedding photographer was also AMAZING, I’m shouting her out. Her name is Ashley at Moments and Mountains Photography (Olympia Wedding & Elopement Photography | Moments & Mountains), a local and woman-owned business.
