Based in Eatonville, WA, Cindy’s Catering Kitchen offers catering services par excellence. Their exquisite food and outstanding customer service will be the cherry on top at your wedding day celebrations.
The woman at the helm of this operation, Cindy, has always loved cooking. As a child, she looked up to her grandmother, who used to cook the meals for the family with such finesse. Cindy treasures those memories and recipes to this day.
In 2003, when she worked in the kitchen at Pennsylvania Christian Camp, she was immediately taken by the service of feeding large crowds. Afterwards, she went on to work for several camp sessions, which cemented her passion. Eventually, she started her own catering company in 2018 to help people entertain guests while leaving the overwhelming task of cooking to her.
Cindy’s Catering Kitchen can cook for a guest list of anywhere from 25 to 250 people. House specialties include smoked briskets, homemade pies, Texas BBQ, desserts, appetizers, breakfast brunch food, and much more.

I love to cook for and serve others. My kitchen is my "happy" place and cooking for large crowds is my passion. I cook like my Grandmother did, with a southern flare, all from scratch, with a pinch of this and a dash of that! I have served as the head cook at church camps for the last 13 years and have never had a camper go home hungry!
I create menus to suit my individual clients tastes and desires. My goal is to make couples meals on their wedding day to be special, delicious, beautiful, and memorable.

l telling us how tasty they were (which we agree!!). Cindy was incredible to work with, amazing communication, and clearly a great cook. She worked with us to make sure the dishes we choose were exactly what we wanted for our special day - she even met up with me before the wedding so I could use specific platters I wanted. She went above and beyond to make it perfect and it was all that AND MORE.
