This is a catering review. Food is good, setting up catering orders with them is slow and dishonest, will set out advertising on your tables.
We chose Hoda’s for one of our wed...
ding events as they are a full service caterer who can appeal to many people. They are also able to outsource many Indian/Pakistani items.
Our tasting went well and we decided to book with them.
Pros:
-Food is Good
-Full Service
Cons:
-Pricing Fluctuates completely on guest count. We were quoted $19k for a 250 person event and then our guest count went down and somehow they still ended up at $19k. Eventually they came down after discussions but clearly they had marked that weekend for $19k and that’s what they were going to get until we spoke with them.
-Slow -We did not receive a final quote until a week and a half before the date. We felt backed into a corner especially with their “updated” pricing.
- They placed little advertising signage all over the tables! Tables with $50 to $100 center pieces. It was tackless and rude to not even ask for permission. It is in all our photos and insanely distasteful. I doubt they do this at their owned wedding venue Cape Horn.
If you plan to book with them, be prepared for long spans of time between emails after you have booked them, costs going up (quote under what you actually might have guest), and ensure that they are aware before that no signage of any kind is allowed.
They did not disclose this beforehand that they would do this and we were caught totally by surprise.
Buyer beware. I’m disappointed and saddened by our experience and hope other bridal parties can avoid this same experience.

Hoda was so easy to work with in helping us create our menu for our wedding! We loved everything we selected, and she helped us stay within our budget. Not to mention the food was ...
SO GOOD!
Communication between us and Hoda's assistant was a bit difficult at times, but otherwise our experience was fantastic!
Hoda and her family are a really amazing group of people. We found her by chance and ended up with the most delicious and beautiful wedding catering we could have hoped for. She ...
went above and beyond in so many ways - she acted as our de facto wedding planner on the day of the wedding (while the wedding planner we paid for stood around and didn’t do much), she worked so hard to meet all of the specific food requests we gave her, and she did all of this with grace and kindness. She and her family have become friends and we visit their delicious restaurant every time we come to Portland. Thank you so much!!
